What is all this?

Although he grumbled inwardly, Feng Xue still had to go in. Shouldering a large, fluffy, and obviously cheap backpack, he followed the crowd into the Garbage Dump. However, he arrived a bit late this time, so upon entering, it wasn't like before where he could see the garbage that had just been sorted by gangs but hadn't yet been swept clean by a large number of scavengers.

After finally breaking free from the dense crowd and reaching a more open area, all he could see was a mess. There were the wrecks of many motorcycles, many of which bore the marks of scavengers stomping on them.

Scattered among these things, which were obviously worthless, were some pieces of paper.

Hmm...

Feng Xue suddenly remembered the Item cards mentioned by the Novice Guide earlier. He immediately walked over, only to find that the scattered pieces on the ground were just a pile of ordinary playing cards. Even under the appraisal of his Golden Finger, most of them only had the Element [Toy], with only a very few carrying the Tag [Gambling Tool].

"So, is this a world similar to Kaiji or Kakegurui? But that still doesn't explain these transportation tools!"

After confirming that there were no other Elements worth his attention, Feng Xue had no intention of lingering. He immediately picked up his pace and ran towards the center of the Garbage Dump.

Relying on the speed boost from his Silence Boots, Feng Xue managed to leave some of the people who were still diligently searching behind him. Then, an Element appeared in his vision that almost made him choke—

[Perpetual Motion Machine]

"Wow, what kind of divine Element is this?"

Feng Xue braked almost instantly, not even caring that his calf was tripped by the handlebars of a bicycle by the roadside. He scrambled over to the location of the Element, and what appeared before him was a...

Motorcycle?

"This is a D Wheel! A D Wheel!"

Feng Xue recognized the identity of the thing before him almost instantly. Although it was severely damaged, what else could it be with a Duel Disk attached to the front of the seat besides a D Wheel? It couldn't be that they were riding motorcycles to play cards in the third part of Yu-Gi-Oh! either, right?

"No wonder it has the Perpetual Motion Machine entry. It's powered by Burning Yuusei Particles... But speaking of which, could that gem be a Crystal Beast?"

Feng Xue grinned and picked up a crowbar from the side to start dismantling the vehicle.

There was no way he could take such a large thing with him. Moreover, seeing that it was still intact despite its condition, he figured he just needed to remove the engine.

Normally, Feng Xue wouldn't have had any specialized knowledge in this area. However, this D Wheel was already quite damaged, so it didn't take him much effort to pry open the casing. As for identifying the core where the Perpetual Motion Machine Element resided, he could just use his Golden Finger!

About ten minutes later, Feng Xue carefully disconnected a few pipes and removed the "iron barrel," weighing fifty to sixty pounds, from the D Wheel.

He stuffed this iron barrel, which was no longer running but still possessed the powerful Elements [Perpetual Motion Machine] and [Evolution], into his backpack. Although the [Speed] Element was a bit of an eyesore, with a two-thirds chance, he wouldn't be that unlucky, right?

Unknowingly, he had set a flag for himself, but Feng Xue didn't care. Since he had found a D Wheel, it at least meant that the world connected to this Garbage Dump should include the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!. If that was the case, there couldn't be just one D Wheel.

For him, who was ten days younger, a weight of forty to fifty pounds would have occupied seventy percent of his carrying capacity. But after unlocking the Carrying Entry, Feng Xue's endurance and strength had improved significantly. Carrying a mere motorcycle engine on his back felt like carrying a power bank. Compared to the weight, he was now more concerned about the size of his backpack.

"If all else fails, I'll just snatch a cart." Thinking such dangerous thoughts, Feng Xue stood up again. He had been too excited earlier by the appearance of the [Perpetual Motion Machine] entry and had overlooked other things around him. Now, he finally noticed that the scattered cards had become classic Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.

"Teacher Knossos... Ah, no, Pot of Greed." Feng Xue made a joke that no one would know, but he immediately threw away the eternally banned card. There was no way, this card didn't even have an Element, it was just a string of Garbled Code.

"No wonder the Novice Guide said that no matter how powerful a card was before, it's just scrap paper now... At least that gauntlet called Thunder God was quite powerful with enough [Knowledge] supply."

Shaking his head slightly in disappointment, Feng Xue lost the desire to check the identity of each card one by one. Instead, he directly activated the appraisal function of his Golden Finger and resumed his rhythm of looking for treasures by finding Elements.

However, these cards weren't entirely useless. Feng Xue figured he could pick up a stack later when he left and see if they could be used as material for skill books if bound together.

Scavenging is a contradictory act. If you choose to speed up, you might miss important items, but if you choose to search carefully, important items might be taken by someone else first.

Although Feng Xue didn't spend too much time searching, the time spent dismantling the D Wheel caused the surrounding environment to become even more dilapidated by the time he set off again.

He casually lifted a car door with "Fujiwara Tofu Shop" written on it. Feng Xue couldn't be bothered to check if it was a counterfeit and directly reached out to pick up the card with the [Destruction] Element pressed underneath it. However, this wasn't a Yu-Gi-Oh! card, or rather, it didn't belong to a trading card game. It was a...

"Why is there even Greed Island here?" Feng Xue put the card named [Killer Bullet] (Designate one card for Destruction), serial number 1029, into his backpack. He had a new understanding of the composition of this landfill area—of course, considering the "Garbage Dump" setting, these could also be counterfeit merchandise...

"So, as long as it's a card, it can be here, right? But what's the relationship between cards and transportation tools?"

Feng Xue felt that it would be difficult for him to sort out his thoughts on this matter, or perhaps it was something that had no relation at all. Considering the gems that were acquired, he wouldn't be surprised if he found a Horadric Cube later.

However, Feng Xue soon lost the mood to ponder things that didn't matter much whether he knew them or not, because an Element that made him excited appeared in his vision—

[Fate]

"Wow, Fate dictates that I'm going to Heaven, right?" Feng Xue's eyes immediately lit up. With this thing, even if he couldn't combine it into Za Warudo, he could still create Made in Heaven, right? At worst, King Crimson would do!

As the thought flashed through Feng Xue's mind, his body moved. With a few steps, he had already reached the vicinity of the Element, and covering it was a block of... ice?

"This thing doesn't look like eternal ice either?" Feng Xue confirmed that the ice block only had a string of Garbled Code, and he simply attributed the non-melting situation to the characteristics of the Garbage Dump. However, just as he reached out to pry open the ice block, a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.

Without any hesitation, Feng Xue rolled on the spot. As he felt the pain from his body scraping against the uneven ground, Feng Xue supported himself with one hand, quickly adjusted his posture, and when he looked up in the direction where the sense of crisis had come from, a man in a gray shirt and jeans was holding a crowbar, seemingly surprised that Feng Xue had managed to dodge
