Are you impatient to recruit? You are impatient for us to explode gold coins!

Chapter 37: You're Not Eager to Recruit Me? You're Eager for Us to Drop Gold, Right!

A black lightning bolt struck down, leaving countless electric sparks in the Black Mist. At this moment, a figure slowly appeared.

He was equipped with enormous black bat wings, held a long sword roughly the same height as himself, and was entirely encased in grotesque black armor. Wherever he went, the black mist actively parted for him.

[Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon] [Spellcaster/Fusion/Effect/DARK/Level 8] [ATK: 3000; DEF: 2500]

"It really is that monster monster!" The green light in the Black-robed Figure's eyes stared at it, filled with apprehension, and deep within that apprehension was fear.

Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon was called a powerful monster that could make someone Heaven-tier with just one card. Such a simple and clear sentence was enough to show its power.

For them to encounter Youye here and have him summon it was simply terrible luck!

This wasn't even the most surprising thing. What surprised him most was that Youye could deploy it with just two monsters casually, and it didn't even suffer from Red-Eyes Fusion's outrageous Self-Restriction. This kind of thing was simply unheard of and unseen.

This meant that as long as Youye didn't draw Red-Eyes Fusion, he could summon it with his eyes closed. What kind of devil's joke was this?!

"Why? Why can you obtain it? Why can you summon it?" Seeing Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon appear, even if he hadn't seen a pig run, he had eaten pork. Dark Insect recognized who the monster in front of him was and immediately shrieked with three questions.

"Because I'm strong!" Youye simply uttered these five words faintly, then issued an order to Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon.

Youye's words directly froze Dark Insect in place, his entire brain crashing. The Black-robed Figure also remained silent, the green light in his eyes dimming and then flickering slightly, lost in thought.

There was nothing they could do. Youye's simple "I'm strong" left them with no words to refute!

Were they supposed to say Youye was weak? Where was he weak? Saying a Duelist who was at least Grandmaster Rank was weak was what was abnormal!

Why did they seek out Dark Insect and Youye for a duel? Was it because they didn't have Earth-level Duelists in Hangcheng? No!

It was because various experts calculated that Dark Insect had the best chance of winning. Others, even Earth-level Master-class Duelists, would fare even worse, which was why Dark Insect was sent.

Seeing the two remain silent, Youye could understand inwardly, but he expressed regret. The victor of the duel could only be him.

"Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon's first Effect activates! Since I used two Normal Monsters as Fusion Material, during Main Phase 1, up to twice per turn, I can target a monster on your field and destroy it, and inflict damage to you equal to that monster's Attack. I choose Naturia Beast on your field and destroy it!"

The moment Youye finished speaking, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon unleashed a black lightning slash. Under this slash, Naturia Beast was cut in half, destroyed, and sent to the Graveyard.

As Naturia Beast was destroyed, sword wounds appeared on Dark Insect, and crimson blood slowly flowed from his body, dripping down.

Dark Insect's LP: 8000 → 5800!

Dark Insect watched Naturia Beast being destroyed, then looked at himself, covered in wounds. He was utterly bewildered. Why hadn't Youye taken damage? Why was Youye so strong?

After a long time, he looked at his Hand, silent, and completely fell into despair. He understood that he had lost and had no chance of turning the tide.

Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon wasn't just a simple Triple Negate. It also had powerful resistance to being targeted and being destroyed by effects. Drawing Ring of Destruction, Mirror Force, or even Dark Hole was useless; none of them could get rid of it.

Yes, his entire Deck couldn't get rid of the monster in front of him. Win? How could he win?

Next, Youye skipped the Battle Phase due to the Self-Restriction and entered the End Phase. Saya's Verte Anaconda returned to the field. It was his turn, and he drew Kuriboh. Then he Normal Summoned Kuriboh, ended his turn with Dignified Blow, and Youye understood perfectly, directly finishing him off with Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon.

After Dark Insect's LP dropped to zero, the surrounding Black Mist disappeared, and then a Card Box appeared in front of Youye. These were Dark Insect's Original Cards with the Naturia Archetype and his personal assets.

Youye happily accepted them. With the Naturia Archetype, plus the Extra Deck monsters Coral Dragon and Stardust Charge Warrior obtained from the Duel Association, he could now play Naturia Runick, no longer just pure Stun Runick.

Of course, it wasn't that Stun Runick wasn't strong; it was purely because there were other options, and the playstyle would be more diverse. Once people became familiar with Stun Runick, it was easy to counter. Furthermore, he only had one Fountain. If Fountain was Banished, it would completely rely on Saya, Red Daddy, and Baronne to hold out. Although he could win now, he was very clear that it was entirely because Runick was a mainstream, top-tier Archetype. Even if Runick was targeted later, he could still win, but winning with risk was completely unnecessary.

After collecting the cards, when he came back to his senses, he found that the Spirit blocking Munin had disappeared, leaving only the Black-robed Figure standing quietly in the corner.

"As expected of someone who is at least Grandmaster Rank, no, at least King Rank. The organization sending Dark Insect and me to challenge you truly underestimated you." Seeing Youye look over, the Black-robed Figure slowly spoke, his words no longer treating him as an equal, but with respect as a Senior.

"Not continuing?" Youye heard the meaning in these words – that he wouldn't duel him – and was immediately a little disappointed. He had even used Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, waiting for the Dark Duelist to continue dropping gold! But it just stopped like this.

"Senior is joking. We were ignorant earlier. Knowing Senior's strength, we naturally wouldn't overestimate ourselves by challenging you." Seeing Youye like this, the Black-robed Figure's face under the robe suddenly darkened. Which of them wasn't terrified of Dark Duelists? This person, however, truly treated them as prey.

With that, he slowly took out a palm-sized Tablet and a Gold Card, and said, "This card is your spoils of war. You can choose five Original Cards from the Card List as our apology."

After saying that, it was only because the black robe covered his expression that you couldn't see his face full of twisted and heartbroken emotions. The card was his own private property, which he had originally planned to give Youye after Dark Insect defeated him, so that Youye would prioritize helping him modify his Deck Build and also build a good relationship.

But what happened? Dark Insect was directly eliminated, and he lost his card too. He had lost both the wife and the soldiers.

He was now wondering if it would have been more profitable to just find Youye directly? At least one card could modify his Deck Build, right?

"Mm, sensible!" Youye unceremoniously accepted the card and the Card List. He didn't initiate a Dark Duel. Firstly, he didn't know how to initiate one. Secondly, as a person in society, what was needed was social etiquette, not fighting and killing.

Of course, the main reason was that he hadn't suffered any damage, and he didn't think the Black-robed Figure in front of him would drop much gold. It was better to squeeze the Dark Duelists behind him through him.

But if there were more ignorant Dark Duelists who came knocking, he naturally wouldn't mind taking their accumulated assets like Dark Insect and starting a zero-cost shopping spree.

He flipped the card over and found that it was the Xyz Summon monster [Number 60: Dugares the Timeless]. His smile widened immediately. He had one more Extra Deck monster for Wheelchair Tearlaments; all that was missing were the Main Deck cards and some powerful Extra Deck monsters.

As for the provided Card List, he could only say it was very ordinary. In the end, Youye took five cards: [Rainbow Lizard], [Magic Shell Gachapon], [Droll & Lock Bird], [Trishula, Zero Dragon of the Ice Barrier], and [Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]. Except for the latter two which could be used immediately, the first three could only be described as having potential for the future.

"The cards Senior wants will be delivered to your store within a day. I apologize to you again here for disturbing you today." The Black-robed Figure glanced at the cards Youye had chosen, then bowed and apologized.

"It's fine. If your Dark Duelists still want to challenge me to a Dark Duel, tell them to hurry up. I can't wait to be recruited by you!" Youye said seriously.

Black-robed Figure: "..."

Are you eager to be recruited?

You're eager for us Dark Duelists to come to your door and drop gold, right?

First, let me apologize. Some brothers said my pace was too fast before, so I adjusted my writing style, but it ended up being too watered down, and I wrote two chapters like that at once. The next plot is being urgently revised to ensure everyone's reading experience.

Let me explain beforehand, what the brothers said before was correct. I reread the previous text and it was indeed too fast. The current plot being watered down is also correct for you to criticize. It's my own lack of control and insufficient skill. I'll take the criticism and failure, learn from this experience, and strive to provide better content in the future.

A failure like me is good at nothing else, but I do listen to advice.
