Chapter 019 First Round

"Ye Xing, what does Swiss Round mean?"

Jounouchi, who had never played such a game, didn't understand anything and could only quietly ask Tenma Ye Xing to prevent himself from showing his weakness.

"Swiss Round is a very fair game mode."

Tenma Ye Xing explained: "Unlike the elimination round, players will not be eliminated directly because of an accidental loss. Instead, the final ranking is determined by the points of the duel between each other... In simple terms, whether you win or lose, you can play the whole game until the final quarter-finals. Generally, international qualifiers use Swiss Round."

"Oh, so that's it!"

Jounouchi understood and felt relieved. He walked towards the notice board with full ambition: "Let me, Uncle Jonouchi, see who my opponent in the first round is..."

"Huh!?"

He was halfway through his words.

Jounouchi was stunned.

Because on the notice board, his opponent in the first round was actually the amiable veteran who had just been very enthusiastically explaining to him how to solve the fighting monster cards - Zixing!

"Oh no, oh no!"

Jounouchi's confidence, which had just been restored, collapsed in a second: "How can I win against a veteran like him!?"

"Not necessarily."

Tenma Yexing comforted: "To win the Duel Monster Card Competition, although strength is indeed an indispensable part, luck is equally important. Now your strength is insufficient, but I believe your luck must be a hundred times better than his."

Jounouchi still grinned: "... Luck is something that is hard to say."

[No, no, it is indeed hard to say for others, but for you, it is easier than breathing. 】

Listening to the voice of the Creator Dragon in his mind.

Tenma Yexing expressed his great agreement.

Just kidding.

Who is luckier than you, the lucky gambler who can draw the Mirror Shattering White Dragon with one shot?

Shakes his head.

Tenma Yexing also began to look for his name in the bulletin board.

"My opponent is... Xiaozhu?"

This is undoubtedly another duel nickname.

At this time, the voice of the Creator Dragon in my mind became active again: [Hey, your opponent is Luo Zhixiang! ]

…

Tianma Yexing ignored it.

After finding his seat number for the competition, he waited for his opponent to arrive.

After a while.

A fat guy with a wide body and wearing a pair of glasses of the same height as the insect feather moth sat opposite Tianma Yexing.

"Piglet?"

"Yes, you are Tianma Yexing?"

"Yes."

After confirming each other's identity information.

Tianma Yexing and Piglet each took out their own decks and started to shuffle.

Soon.

Tianma Yexing had already shuffled the cards into eight parts, and stacked them again, waiting for the opponent to cut the cards.

But the piglet on the opposite side had obviously shuffled the cards into eight parts, and after stacking them, he began to shuffle them into five parts.

"Huh?"

Tianma Yexing narrowed his eyes.

While watching the opponent shuffle the cards, he began to count the number of cards on the opponent's deck in his mind.

"One... two... three..."

Until the end.

After the piglet on the opposite side finally shuffled the cards.

Tianma Yexing confirmed that the other party was indeed making cards.

A total of 40 cards in the main deck.

First, shuffled in eight stacks, and then in five stacks. The final result was the same as not shuffling.

The order of his current deck and the first time he took it out has not changed at all!

Seeing the other party push the deck to him and said, "Main deck 40, extra deck 15.", Tianma Yexing's mouth slowly raised.

According to the rules.

At this time, you only need to cut the opponent's deck.

But now the guy called piglet on the opposite side has obviously already prepared the order of the cards. Just a simple cut, his starting hand will still be the order he arranged in advance, and there will be no situation such as starting with five eight-star monsters, or a hand with no monsters available for equipment cards.

This method is indeed very effective against novices.

Because novices don't understand these twists and turns.

They entered the game with enthusiasm, hoping to have a fair duel with every opponent, and to have fair and just competitions one after another.

But it was because of the dirty players like Xiaozhu that the rat shit appeared in this big pot of porridge.

Tianma Yexing sneered.

He took Xiaozhu's deck, but did not cut the cards. Instead, he divided the deck into two stacks and began to shuffle the cards sideways and crosswise.

This shuffling technique is similar to that of playing cards.

But because the Duel Monster Cards have two layers of card sleeves, which are relatively hard, they can be shuffled in this way while minimizing the wear of the cards.

When Xiaozhu on the opposite side saw Tianma Yexing shuffling the cards like this, he was stunned for a moment.

But he didn't say anything.

Because whether intentional or unintentional, shuffling the cards in this way is in accordance with the rules.

Moreover, if the other party is also an old hand who knows this cheating method, then if he speaks now, the other party may directly call the referee, which is even more disadvantageous to him.

There is no way.

He can only swallow his anger.

He shuffled the cards over and over again for more than ten times.

The card set almost sparked, and Tianma Yexing stopped, put the piglet's card set on the table, cut it again, and then pushed it over.

"Then let's roll the dice and compare the big one."

"No problem."

Tianma Yexing said, took out a dice from his pocket, and threw it on the table.

It was two points.

The piglet on the opposite side almost laughed out loud at that time.

Then it was his turn to roll the dice.

He rolled a point directly.

Seeing his annoyed look, Pegasus Night Walk extended his hand very considerately: "It's okay, although I won, I still let you go first, please."

"Huh? Are you serious?"

The piglet was immediately overjoyed, and then quickly drew five cards from the top of the deck, as if he was afraid that Pegasus Night Walk would regret it.

Pegasus Night Walk just smiled, and then also drew five cards.

"Prepare, the main thing."

The piglet looked at the five cards in his hand, [Drop Hole], [Holy Shield-Mirror Force], [Magic Cylinder], [Forced Escape Device], and [Iron Knight Kia Fried], and his face could hardly suppress the smile, and he was so happy on the spot.

This hand can be said to be almost a perfect hand.

If you go first to cover these cards, the opponent is almost doomed.

Four trap cards block four attacks from the opponent's monsters, and then the Iron Knight Kia Fried with an attack power of 1800 can directly attack four times. At that time, one or two monsters will attack directly, and you will die! ?

"I Normal Summon Iron Knight Kia Freed."

The piglet reached out and put the only monster in his hand on the front field, and then happily covered all the cards in his hand on the back field: "Cover one, cover two, cover three, cover four, it's your turn."

[Iron Knight Kia Freed, 4 stars, attack: 1800, defense: 1600, effect: ①: When this card is equipped with an equipment card, the equipment card is destroyed. 】
