"Thanks." Youye nodded with a smile. He grew curious about Bai Yun'er's father. Setting aside the hidden probing, whether Youye accepted the duel or not, he was given cards and a Duel Disk. The man was truly broad-minded.
When it came to someone like that, Youye could only say that he was genuinely hard to dislike. Still, caution was necessary.
As for using their Duel Disk resulting in card information being leaked, that was impossible. All card information was protected by the Dueling Rules. Unless the Duelist disclosed it personally, the forces that manufactured Duel Disks merely sold features such as appearance and portability.
"Could you wait a moment? I need to adjust my deck." Youye took out his Card Box and looked at Wuping apologetically.
"Of course." Wuping nodded respectfully, then silently returned to Bai Yun'er's side.
"Aunt Ping, what's going on? Did Father say something?"
Bai Yun'er looked at Wuping with a hint of dissatisfaction. Youye was a senior who had helped revise her deck build. After she told her father about it, he had clearly said they would properly thank him. Why were they probing him instead?
However, her good upbringing kept her from openly questioning Wuping. She merely asked quietly from the side.
"Miss, the thanks will certainly be given. The Family Head has his own considerations." Wuping answered respectfully, but she did not mention a single word about what Bai Yun'er's father had said.
"Fine. Try not to lose too badly. In a sense, you represent my father and our family." Bai Yun'er nodded and offered a reminder.
As for why she did not remind Youye? The reason was simple. Although Wuping was a fairly formidable Profound-level Duelist and was practically unmatched against ordinary Duelists—
Unfortunately, her opponent was Youye, a Duelist even her father could not see through. It would not be surprising no matter what such a person pulled out!
"Thank you for the reminder, Miss." Wuping nodded and looked at Youye seriously.
Before the Family Head had come, he had specifically reminded her to go all out. Youye might be someone the Bai family—or even stronger families—needed to win over. His strength and wisdom were surely far beyond those of ordinary people!
Half an hour later, Youye finished configuring his deck. Looking at the completed deck, he smiled in satisfaction.
Since the archetype cards for his Tearlaments archetype had remained unavailable, and he had no idea when he would obtain them, he had spent all the designated cards he had acquired over the past four years on generic cards or splashable cards. First, they would be easier to sell if he was ever truly desperate for money. Second, once he gradually collected enough cards for another deck, they would come in handy. He did not have to hang himself on Tearlaments alone.
"Let's begin!" Although Youye had never used a Duel Disk before, after transmigrating ten years ago, he naturally knew how to use one. He inserted his deck into the Duel Disk and challenged Wuping to a duel.
"Very well. Please teach me!" Wuping nodded, unfolded her Duel Disk as well, and the duel began.
As the two began their duel, Bai Yun'er, Sheng Ning, and the others stood together to watch. Bai Yun'er thus learned that Youye was using the Runick archetype he had just obtained. She was extremely curious about what the deck that had tormented Sheng Ning before was like.
Compared to Bai Yun'er, Sheng Ning and Munin—especially the latter—wanted even more to know what cards Youye had just added. His Tearlaments archetype? Or something else?
Youye (8000 LP) vs. Wuping (8000 LP)
Under the Dueling Rules, Wuping decided who went first and chose to go first. Both sides drew five cards, and the duel began.
Since Youye had no response, it proceeded to Wuping's Main Phase 1.
"I activate the Normal Spell Red-Eyes Insight from my hand. Its effect sends the Red-Eyes archetype monster Red-Eyes Soul King—Malicious Demon from my deck to the Graveyard, allowing me to add one Red-Eyes Spell or Trap other than Red-Eyes Insight from my deck to my hand. I choose Red-Eyes Fusion!"
"I activate Red-Eyes Fusion! Using its effect, I send Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Summoned Skull from my deck to the Graveyard to Fusion Summon Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon."
Roar!
As Wuping finished speaking, a powerful demonic dragon appeared on her field. It stood upright on two legs, breathed flames from its mouth, and was covered from head to toe in sharp bones. With a dragon's roar, an oppressive aura spread from it to everyone present.
Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon Dragon/Fusion/Effect/DARK/Level 9 ATK: 3200; DEF: 2500
"Oh? A Red-Eyes archetype? And you can so easily summon such a powerful boss monster? The Bai family's servant is quite strong!"
Feeling the pressure from Dark Dragoon, Sheng Ning looked somewhat displeased. Wuping knew this was Youye's first Physical Card Duel, yet she opened with an incredibly powerful splashable Red-Eyes boss monster. If it had been a beginner, they would probably have surrendered immediately, right?
"Sister Sheng, Aunt Ping is facing a senior. If she could not even do this much, wouldn't that be looking down on him?"
Bai Yun'er was not worried. After receiving Youye's guidance, she had returned to her family and used the deck build he gave her to crush her way through twenty consecutive victories in Master Duel, climbing from Bronze to Silver.
A senior capable of providing such a deck build, after obtaining an archetype sufficient to form a deck, would definitely possess strength far beyond anything Wuping could compare to.
"Little Bai is right. Think about Youye's strength, and the archetype he's using. Would he lose? How could he lose?" Munin seemed completely unaffected. She calmly watched Dark Dragoon and reminded them with an eerie smile.
"That's true." Sheng Ning nodded and said no more.
Indeed, she had personally experienced Youye's strength and the power of the Runick archetype. While the Red-Eyes archetype was versatile, it was not particularly strong. The possibility of Youye losing was practically nonexistent.
Yet at that moment, Youye stared at the Dark Dragoon before him, his attention entirely fixed on it as he looked at the monster with overwhelming excitement.
Ten years. He had finally experienced a duel in this world!
It had to be said, card duels were completely different from Master Duel. The pressure emitted when card spirits appeared in a Physical Card Duel simply thrilled him!
"Then I set two cards and end my turn!"
Wuping glanced at Youye, whose entire body was trembling. Having served the Bai family for decades and seen all sorts of people, she naturally recognized that he was trembling from excitement rather than fear. She cautiously set two cards before ending her turn.
"My turn, draw!" Youye placed his right hand atop his deck and drew a card. After glancing at it, he asked Wuping, "Do you have anything during the Draw Phase or Standby Phase?"
"No. Please proceed," Wuping answered.
"Then it's my Main Phase 1. I activate the Normal Spell Upstart Goblin from my hand. I draw one card, and you gain 1000 LP."
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Runick Flurry of Fowling from my hand to Special Summon a monster. Then I place myself under the restriction of skipping my next Battle Phase!"
"Come forth, Hugin the Runick Wings!"
"Upon Hugin being Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, I discard one card to add the Runick Field Spell Runick Fountain from my deck to my hand. Then I activate Runick Fountain!"
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Runick Golden Droplet from my hand. You draw one card, then banish the top four cards of your deck!"
"When you add a card from your deck to your hand outside of the Draw Phase, I activate the Quick-Play Spell Runick Dispelling! You randomly discard one card from your hand to the Graveyard, then banish the top two cards of your deck!"
"Next, I activate the effect of Runick Fountain. After I activate a Runick Quick-Play Spell, I can return up to three Runick Quick-Play Spells from my Graveyard to my deck in any order I choose, then draw the same number of cards. I target Runick Dispelling, Runick Golden Droplet, and Runick Flurry of Fowling!"
"Not so fast! I chain Raigeki Break to your Runick Fountain! I activate the Trap Card I set, targeting the Field Spell Runick Fountain on your field and destroying it!"
Hearing that effect, Wuping's expression darkened. Without hesitation, she activated the card she had set on her field!
"Oh no! The senior's Runick Fountain is a Field Spell. If it gets destroyed, its effect will fail, and then his resources will be cut off!"
Seeing this, Bai Yun'er, who had originally believed Youye's victory was assured, had a slight change in expression.
A smile appeared on Wuping's face as well. Youye had not chained anything, and the effects began to resolve!
