Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World
He was quite pleased to see the kid's pained expression. But he was quickly stunned to see that Jiang He wasn't showing any pain at all; instead, he looked at him with admiration!
Seeing the [Trap Jammer] monster on his field, I was practically ready to clap my hands! "This [Trap Jammer]'s effect is indeed very good and powerful, so..." "I activate the Equip Spell from my hand, [Snatch Steal]!"
Jiang He smiled and took out a card from his hand, gesturing for it to appear!
It was an Equip Spell Card with an image of a figure in red clothes having their package snatched by someone, screaming in pain! "This card's effect: Equip it to one of your opponent's monsters and gain control of it. As a trade, during your opponent's Standby Phase, they recover 1000 LP!" "What?! It's [Snatch Steal]?!"
Upon seeing the Equip Spell Card, the middle-aged, sinister-looking man X, immediately widened his eyes and turned green!
A curse word instantly stuck in his throat! [Ding, X's Emotion Points +500!]
"Please accept my friendly gift of continuously restoring your health, Uncle!" Jiang He said with a very kind smile, raising his hand to indicate the monstrous figure in the distance on the opposite field, a creature with purple and gray stripes, resembling a 5.2-inch triangular-braced mechanical spider!
"The one I choose to equip and gain control of is, of course, your [Trap Jammer] on the field!"
Let me use your monster's excellent effect—it makes me immune to Trap Card!
As Jiang He finished speaking, a burst of dark red energy emerged from the equipment spell [Snatch Steal] that had appeared on the field in front of him, instantly affecting the [Trap Jammer] mechanical spider monster on the opposite side of the field!
This caused the mechanical single eye to light up with a red light, and it seemed to be under direct control, actively moving to the area in front of Jiang He!
Instead, they looked at the original owner of the other party!

"Is this what they call a battle between underworld decks?"
Upon seeing Jiang He come up, he immediately NTR'd the key monster [Trap Jammer] of the professional duelist X.
Chazz Princeton and Bastion Misawa and the others couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Neither of these two people currently dueling is normal...
Moreover, compared to that professional dueling hunter, X the Destroyer, Jiang He seems to be even more sinister right now! Then, I buried two cards, end of turn!
Jiang He smiled and took out two cards from his remaining four cards, placing them on the Duel Disk!
Suddenly, two huge, hidden card shadows appeared one after another on the field in front of him with a "thud"!
Then they simply started to give up and ended the round!
They didn't even use the monster they stole from the other side, the [Trap Jammer], for any attack!
Once the Spell Card [Final Countdown] is successfully activated and sent to the Graveyard, it cannot be interrupted or Null and Void.
All he needs to do now is urge the other party to die 10 times and "play dumb" on the side!
"So it actually prevented my Ambush Card from destroying the attacking monster...!" Upon seeing this, the middle-aged, sinister-looking man, X, frowned, his expression turning slightly grim. He had indeed originally planned to use the Ambush Trap [Sakuretsu Armor] to destroy the monster [Trap Jammer] that Jiang He had stolen from him when he attacked, thus continuing to block the kid!
To everyone's surprise, Jiang He immediately started playing!
Aside from setting up two hidden cards, I did almost nothing but wait for the countdown to the remaining "nineteen rounds"! My turn, draw a card!
As the middle-aged, sinister-looking man X, drew a card from his own Duel Disk deck, "Whoosh!!"
Suddenly, another orange-yellow will-o'-the-wisp appeared in the dense, dark purple clouds of ghost faces in the sky above!
It keeps a count of the rounds that have passed!
This made X's expression even more unpleasant.
However, there are still a total of eighteen rounds remaining for both sides, or nine chances for him to draw cards.
It's not too troublesome.
"The effect of the equipped magic [Snatch Steal] will, in exchange, restore 1000 LP of health during your preparation phase!" Jiang He reminded him with a friendly smile.
As his words fell, the life points of X, who had previously lost 1000 LP, immediately began to rise again, recovering to [4000 LP]! "Hmph, I'll show you that the world's top professional duelists can't be defeated by just one or two cards, young man." The middle-aged, sinister-looking man, X, said, slamming the card he had just drawn onto his Duel Disk! "I summon in Attack Position, my second [Trap Jammer]!" "Squeak!!" With a faint light, a familiar triangular-shaped mechanical spider monster reappeared!
They appeared on the field in front of X!
"Although a second [Trap Jammer] has been summoned, according to the effect of the Continuous Trap [Monster Counter], as a prerequisite for its activation, this summon still requires sending a card of the corresponding level from the deck to the Graveyard!" Alexis Rhodes was watching from the sidelines, immediately spoke up. "Of course I know that!"
Hearing the commotion in the distance, X's expression darkened, and he said, "Whoosh!!"
The next second, the scoreboard on the brown, monster-mouth-shaped machine box in front of him suddenly changed to "Level 4".
Then the brown monster opened its huge mouth, and a long tongue shot out from it, just like a frog's, and directly stuck four cards from its own Duel Disk deck, swallowing them up and making them disappear!
It was sent to the cemetery!
"Next, I activate the Spell Card [Raigeki] from my hand!"
X drew one card from his remaining three cards and showed it to the player!
"That's a Spell Card with an orange lightning bolt pattern!" "This card's effect destroys all monsters on your opponent's field!" "What?! It's that legendary rare card!"
Atticus Rhodes immediately recognized him and exclaimed in surprise.
"Snap!!"
As X's words fell, a bolt of orange lightning struck down from the dark purple clouds above, instantly shattering the [Trap Jammer] that Jiang He had just stolen into orange-yellow particle fragments that disappeared with a "bang!" "Looks like the world's third-ranked duelist is quite wealthy..." Jiang He raised an eyebrow at this sight.
However, he wasn't worried about it at all. It was just the destruction of one NTR monster; for his deck, which didn't have many monsters to begin with, the opponent's 830 Trap [Monster Counter] posed practically no threat. "Now, let me launch an attack, something I haven't done in a long time!"
After glancing at the two hidden cards and [2000LP] life points on Jiang He's field, X hesitated for a moment before finally waving his hand in signal.
"[Trap Jammer] Initiates direct attack, interference beam!" "Squeak!!"
At X's signal, the triangular-framed mechanical spider monster let out a strange cry and shot a blue beam of light from its single eye toward Jiang He!
"Such a weak attack won't work on me! Activate the Ambush card, Trap [Scrap-Iron Scarecrow]!" Jiang He smiled faintly and pointed to one of the two Ambush cards on the field in front of him!
A trap with a pattern of a scrap metal helmet and a scarecrow made of wood was suddenly lifted!
A completely identical Scrap-Iron Scarecrow quickly emerged from it!
He directly blocked the attack of the blue beam in Jiang He!
"The effect of the Trap [Scrap-Iron Scarecrow] is that when an opponent's monster attacks, you can Null and Void that monster's attack, and after activation, this card is not sent to the Graveyard, but can be directly re-Set onto your field!"

"What?! A trap that, once activated, can be rebuilt instead of sent to the graveyard?!"
Seeing the Scrap-Iron Scarecrow figure that Jiang He had activated, it returned directly to the shadow of the exposed Trap Card and then placed it back down.
X's eyes widened in shock!
Even as the world's third-ranked professional duelist, he has seen countless cards with bizarre effects.
But this was the first time he had ever encountered such a shady trap as the [Scrap-Iron Scarecrow] that Jiang He used!
Doesn't this mean that if this ambush card isn't destroyed, at least one of his attacks each turn will be Null and Void?!
This is a devastating blow to his deck, which relies primarily on defense and reducing the number of cards on the opponent's deck. Since there's practically no monster with higher attack power than [Trap Jammer] (800 ATK), this is a double whammy!
Upon realizing this, the middle-aged, sinister-looking man X, looked even more displeased.
"I'll hide one more card, turn over!"
As X drew one card from his remaining two hands and placed it on the Duel Disk, transforming it into a giant Ambush card shadow that appeared on the field in front of him with a "thud," he was forced to temporarily end his turn!
"Now it's my turn, draw a card."
Jiang He smiled faintly and drew a card from his Duel Disk deck.
Beneath the dark purple clouds in the sky above, a third orange will-o'-the-wisp appeared!
After glancing at the card he had drawn, Jiang He's smile widened even further.
Immediately, he placed the card he had just drawn on the Duel Disk and activated it.
"Since you've summoned a second [Trap Jammer], sir, may I borrow it again?"
"Activate a second Equipment Spell from your hand, [Snatch Steal]!"
"Damn it!! Not again?!"
Upon seeing the familiar Equip Spell Card shadows appear on the Jiang He, the middle-aged, sinister-looking man X, turned green with rage!
I had a "mmp" stuck in my throat that I just had to utter!
"..." Even Kaiser Zane Truesdale, Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, and the others standing nearby felt their scalps tingle!
Everyone really wanted to complain!
This guy's deck even has a second Equip Spell Card [Snatch Steal]?!
Why don't you just Snatch Steal the GX badge from them?
In response, Jiang He could only say that the main problem was that the card's effect didn't mention being able to directly steal medals!
Otherwise, let's see if Jiang Daishanren will rob us or not!
Then, Jiang He smiled and looked at X, continuing, "My target for [Snatch Steal] is naturally still your only monster on the field, [Trap Jammer]! Come and make your difference again, [Trap Jammer]!"
As Jiang He finished speaking, a familiar orange-red energy immediately shone from the [Snatch Steal] equipment magic card that had appeared on the field in front of him!
It instantly struck the purple-gray triangular support mechanical spider monster on the distant opposite side of the field again.
He directly controlled his opponent and leaped again to the area in front of him.
It betrayed its original owner! That damned brat...!
Seeing this, X couldn't hold back any longer. His face turned green and sinister as he stared at Jiang He through his small glasses, gritting his teeth! In other people's decks, using this equipment spell [Snatch Steal] might not be a positive outcome, since it has the negative effect of restoring 1000 LP to the opponent's life points during each turn's preparation phase.
But for this young man Jiang He, this so-called negative effect is almost negligible!
Even with a lot of life points, his opponent only has seventeen rounds left to live!
This is not some kind of forcible Snatch Steal with a price; it's blatant, shameless theft!
[Ding, X's Emotion Points +700!]
Upon hearing the pleasant notification sound, Jiang He's face immediately lit up with a satisfied smile. He then ended the round and said, "Uncle over there, it's your turn!" He even started urging the other party to die!
"I know without you saying it! My turn, draw a card!"
The middle-aged, sinister-looking man X, spoke with a grim expression as he drew cards from his own Duel Disk deck!
As he watched the fourth orange will-o'-the-wisp emerge from the dark purple clouds above, his mindset began to shift!
A sense of unease began to creep in!
He only has sixteen rounds left, or eight chances to draw cards!
"I summon a monster face-down in Defense Position. End turn!"
As X slammed the card he had drawn onto the Duel Disk, a huge, horizontally placed card with its back facing out appeared on the field in front of him in a faint light!
And so, the round was forced to end abruptly!
Now that his key monster [Trap Jammer] has been NTR'd by Jiang He, the card-reducing effect of the previously activated (good money) Continuous Trap [Monster Counter] has temporarily become a restriction on himself.
The only way to temporarily avoid this is by summoning monsters using the "top" method.
Furthermore, the key flip effect of this face-down monster can help him regain [Trap Jammer] if it is attacked or if he waits until the next turn!
And further reduce the credit limit for this kid!
