Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck and Depressing the World
He even forgot that he had been chosen to participate in a dark (BAFC) duel.
As the highest-ranking person in charge of practical combat at the Duel Academy, Vellian Crowler, a descendant of nobility, how could he be described as someone who was merely there to make up the numbers!
"What a model of someone who's obsessed with saving face..." Jiang He's lips twitched as he silently muttered to himself.
He remembered that this blond, mushroom-headed professor had just tried to run away.
"Then, let Professor Banner withdraw from the ranks of the original custodians of the Spirit Keys." Upon seeing this, Chancellor Sheppard, immediately challenged him to a duel.
To this, Jiang He could only say...
Traitor eliminated +1!
Although this squinty-eyed Professor Banner is indeed a good person.
However, if he remembered correctly, this guy's current identity was one of the "Shadow Riders Dark Duelists" mentioned earlier... If he handed the key to the Gate of the Shadow Riders to this squinty-eyed Professor Banner, it would be practically like delivering a package to his door...
"Thank you all very much for agreeing, but please be extremely careful, because from this moment on, the battle may begin!" After Jiang He and the other seven took Spirit Keys from the black box and hung the pendant on their bodies, the bald-headed Chancellor Sheppard Samejima solemnly instructed them.
"Please be prepared, as there is always the possibility of encountering a Shadow Riders Shadow Duel!" Jiang He wasn't worried about these so-called Shadow Riders Dark Duelists at all.
In fact, he was quite welcoming of it.
After all, he could hardly find anyone in the entire Duel Academy who was willing to duel with him, "Jiang Daishanren" (a nickname implying a benevolent person). Last night, after celebrating the completion of his luxurious house, before the options in the System Shop refreshed, he went to exchange for the "Mark of the Crimson Dragon. Dragon Heart Mark" skill from the system.
Jiang He was still a little worried about how to earn Emotion Points points in the future! The appearance of the seven Shadow Duel from the Shadow Riders Organization was quite timely!
Jiang He called it "timely rain, bringing relief to the river!"
This is specifically designed to boost Jiang's Emotion Points.
night.
Jiang He was comfortably soaking in the indoor hot spring bathroom of his luxurious cabin, sipping juice from a wooden tray floating on the hot spring. He checked his personal panel and the options that the system had just refreshed that day, considering which new underworld card set to exchange for.
Not far from him, the little Sphere Kuriboh looked like it was floating on the hot spring, with a small towel draped over its round head and a small swimming ring on its back.
Although it has no physical form, that doesn't stop it from enjoying the experience with its master, Jiang He.
Meanwhile, the Ojama Trio were stuck floating in mid-air next to the Sphere Kuriboh, helping to massage the little guy and hand him juice.
The Sphere Kuriboh's noble 300 attack points are practically godlike compared to the three brothers with zero attack power...
Since being scratched by Sphere Kuriboh's tiny little hands last night, the Ojama Trio has been sadly demoted to Sphere Kuriboh's little brother.
Jiang He didn't concern himself with this for the time being, but instead focused on looking at his system panel.
[Name: Jiang He]
[Skills: Duel Spirit Sight Ability, Mark of the Crimson Dragon - Dragon Head Mark, Top-Tier Clear Mind, Mark of the Crimson Dragon - Dragon Heart Mark (for mental combat with Duel Monsters Spirit and other targets)]
The power of the Crimson Dragon's mind)
[Currently owned decks: One-Turn Kill Exodia the Forbidden One Deck, Lava Golem Deck, Yosenju Deck, Dark HERO Deck, Ojama Deck.]
[Emotion Points: 1700]
Yesterday's duel with that Chazz Princeton Wan Zhangmu gave him a whopping 2200 Emotion Points.
Adding the remaining 2500 points, even after redeeming the "Mark of the Crimson Dragon. Dragon Heart Mark" skill last night, I still have 1700 Emotion Points left.
Based on past experience with the system's exchange options refresh, even without checking what options were available today, Jiang He was certain that he should have enough to exchange for his previous underworld card set!

Then, Jiang He eagerly checked what options were available in the System Shop had been refreshed today.
[System Shop (refreshes every two days)] Today's options:
[Deck: Ancient Gear Golem Deck (Crowler Version)] 500 points.
[Deck: Dragon Buster Blader Deck (Nemesis of Underworld Dragons)] 1500 points.
[Deck: Temptation of the Underworld Deck (Card Drain and Blood Drain Flow)] 1500 points.
[Skill: Beyond Top-Tier Clear Mind (Once per game, draw a card that is not currently in your deck but that you are aware of)]
Note: Exchange requires possessing the Top-Tier Clear Mind and the complete power of the Crimson Dragon Quetzalcoatl (six Mark of the Crimson Dragon) [3000 points]. "Beyond the top-tier Mirror of Still Water?!"
Upon seeing the skill's name and effect, Jiang He's eyes immediately lit up.
But the next second, upon seeing the prerequisites for redemption and the required points, his lips twitched. He was stunned...
Good grief, this sneaky system has given him this skill, is it trying to lure him in?
Jiang He was speechless.
This skill is clearly the legendary "card printing" skill. He can print any card he knows in a single duel, whenever needed.
The crucial question is, where is he going to gather the complete power of the Crimson Dragon Quetzalcoatl?
The only good news is that the recent refresh of the Gou system's skills indirectly confirmed his guess: there are indeed six Mark of the Crimson Dragon in total...
Jiang He simply looked away, no longer glancing at the tempting fourth exchange option.
Focus your attention on the options for the first three decks.
It must be said that the three card deck exchange options that have been refreshed this time seem to be quite good.
Professor Golden Hair Mushroom Head's Ancient Gear deck is clearly not a weak deck.
Ancient Gear monsters with 3,000-4,000 ATK each have the ability to prevent the opponent from activating Spell Trap Card when they attack, and when attacking Defense Position monster, they inflict damage equal to the opponent's DEF by piercing its defense.
It can clearly be considered half a "ghost deck" now.
It's even slightly stronger than the incomplete Cyber Dragon Deck previously released by Zane Truesdale.
It is easier to use.
If Jiang He has a lot of Emotion Points right now, he wouldn't mind exchanging them for some.
However, after seeing the two "pure-blooded" underworld decks behind him, he immediately suppressed the idea!
Because the latter two are clearly more in line with Jiang Daishanren's requirements for causing depression!
The Dragon Buster Blader Deck is clearly designed to kill Dragon-Type monsters. It's a great helper for hardcore Dragon-Type monster enthusiasts like Seto Kaiba, one of the directors of the Duel Academy, who love using Blue-Eyes White Dragon, to break their Dragon addiction and cure their bad habit of using high-attack Dragon-Type monsters!
The Temptation of the Underworld Deck is clearly a card-reducing and health-reducing deck that reduces the opponent's cards in the graveyard, thereby also reducing their health.
For opponents using Dragon decks, the former is arguably even more frustrating and insidious than facing Ojama Deck or Dark HERO Deck.
However, it's not particularly effective against non-Dragon deck users.
The latter, however, has a broader scope.
However, considering that there seems to be an unlucky guy in "Shadow Riders Dark Duelists" who happens to be a hardcore Dragon Monster enthusiast who specializes in using Dragon decks.
Jiang He made a decision immediately! Moreover, if he remembered correctly, that unlucky old man seemed to be Alexis's missing, goofy older brother.
He just happened to "save" the opponent from a disadvantageous position.
Thinking of this, Jiang He's expression became righteous and awe-inspiring.
He said, "Well, who told me Jiang Daishanren to be such a kind and helpful person?"
"Knock knock knock!"
After Jiang He comfortably finished bathing the little guy, the Sphere Kuriboh, and changed his clothes, he was about to go to the bedroom on the second floor to sleep.
Suddenly, a knocking sound came from not far away!
"Are the people from the Shadow Riders really this polite... they even knocked on the door?" Jiang He glanced at the clock in the living room; it was almost midnight. He couldn't help but mutter to himself in bewilderment.
By now, those hot-blooded idiots like Jaden Yuki should all be asleep.
Including that squinty-eyed Professor Banner.
If it weren't for the fact that it was his first time using the indoor hot spring in his luxurious cabin, and he had soaked for a little too long... (Request for flowers)
And it's not like they're still awake by now.
Therefore, Jiang He speculated that the person who came could only be that so-called "Shadow Riders Dark Duelists".
Within the Duel Academy, aside from Professor Banner, who could only be considered half a master...
Some of the other party's members were originally there, but they changed their identities and remained hidden.
"Click."
However, when Jiang He opened the door and saw the familiar blond figure standing there, he was immediately stunned.
Because the one who came here wasn't one of the Shadow Riders at all, but Alexis Rhodes!
"Uh... Alexis? What are you doing here..." Jiang He asked Alexis with a subtle expression.
Could this girl be planning to stay at his place tonight?
If that's the case, Jiang He can only say that he doesn't mind taking a small loss and lending out half a bed!
"After returning to the Obelisk Blue Women's Dormitory, I thought about it carefully for a long time, but I still felt a little uneasy about something."
After being invited inside, Alexis Rhodes spoke somewhat awkwardly to Jiang He.
"Although you and Jaden Yuki are both very strong, the people from the ' Shadow Riders Dark Duelists ' over there may not know that Slifer Red is actually the strongest in the Duel Academy right now."
"That's why I came to check; maybe I'll be able to catch the Shadow Riders appear."
After all, not everyone could watch yesterday's duel with the North Academy live on television.
Moreover, even if they saw it, someone like the "Shadow Riders Dark Duelists" might actually feel that they knew information about Jiang He.
Prepare targeted measures, and then specifically choose him as your opponent.
Therefore, after tossing and turning in her room in the Obelisk Blue Girls' Dormitory for a while, Alexis finally got to the point.
Ultimately, still feeling somewhat uneasy, I decided to come and check on Jiang He.
She had originally intended to invite Jasmine and Mindy along, so that it wouldn't seem strange for her to come alone.
But since they were both already asleep, it was a bit inconvenient.
In the end, she had no choice but to come alone... Maru.

"I happen to have a small tatami room here. Why don't you stay there tonight?" Hearing Alexis Rhodes's suggestion, Jiang He immediately considered it and nodded in agreement, then "reluctantly" offered. If possible, he wouldn't mind giving up half a bed...
However, Jiang He estimated that if he said those words, he would probably be mistaken for a pervert and take a hit from Alexis Rhodes's anti-pervert technique!
To avoid upsetting Egg, he ultimately abandoned the idea of saying the second half of the sentence.
Instead, they suggested that Alexis rest in the small guest room next door.
He originally planned to use that area as a tea room or something, and had laid out tatami mats. Since the tea utensils and such were not prepared at all, and now that Alexis was coming over on "June 27" at the last minute, he simply converted it into a small guest room.
All you need to bring is a blanket and a mattress.
While he might not have much else, he did have a spare set of extra blankets and bedding.
"Well... then I'll take my leave!" Alexis Rhodes nodded somewhat apologetically. After saying that, she couldn't help but ask herself, "Alexis, what are you doing...?"
