Although Yuei Vu’s trip was to help the Industrial Illusions, he gained a lot of benefits from there.

Not only did he get the Magician Girl deck that hadn’t been released yet on the market, but he also got some pretty good quality cards.

For example, when he dueled with Pegasus before, Yuei Vu was envious for a while, but he was too embarrassed to speak because of his status.

This time, he finally caught the right opportunity and took away the two rare cards that he had been interested in for a long time.

[Spell Books from the Pot (Normal Spell Card): Both players draw three cards.]

[Monster Recovery (Normal Spell Card): Return all monsters on your side of the field and cards in your hand to your Deck. Shuffle your Deck, then draw 5 cards.]

In addition, he had an unexpected harvest here.

[Red Reboot (Counter Trap Card): When your opponent activates a Trap Card: Negate the activation, and if you do, Set that card face-down, then they can Set 1 other Trap directly from their Deck. For the rest of this turn after this card resolves, your opponent cannot activate Trap Cards. You can activate this card from your hand by paying half your LP.]

This was a very powerful trap, which could ensure that you didn’t have to worry about stepping on any traps throughout the turn. What’s more, it could even be activated directly from the hand. It could be called a killing artifact.

Originally, this card was supposed to appear in the parallel world of “Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS”. He never expected to see it here in the Industrial Illusions.

But it seemed that this is not surprising.

After all, “Mirror Force” and “Magic Cylinder”, which were relatively common in the DM era, have become ultra-rare cards in VRAINS…

After returning home that night, when he opened the door, Yuei Vu immediately heard the excited voice of Yuki Judai.

When he entered the door, he found that Judai and Yusei were “discussing deeply” around the small table where they played cards last night.

It was conceivable that two Duel Kings from different eras were like the meeting of two top fencing masters in the world.

“Hey, Yuei Vu-sensei, are you back?” A certain jellyfish head had completely given up on changing his way of addressing Yuei Vu.

At this time, Judai looked excited as if he had discovered a new world.

“Sensei, you must have never heard of it? There is such a thing as ‘Synchro Summon’!”

Yuei Vu: “…”

“Is this a new way of summoning in the future? It’s amazing!”

Yusei was not moved by the senior’s praise, he just silently put away the cards on the table, and said seriously: “Judai-senpai is too strong, I am no match at all…”

Although he didn’t see the process of the duel, Yuei Vu could roughly imagine it.

It was indeed difficult for Yusei.

If there was no discrepancy with the animation’s settings, the current Yusei should come from the timeline in the middle stage of the 5DS plot, with limited experience and pitifully few cheats. Not to mention the last BOSS of the main storyline, he hasn’t even seen all the elite monsters in the main storyline.

Meanwhile, the current Yuki Judai was equivalent to a full-level character who has cleared all levels and unlocked all achievements. Printing cards and divine draw was like a normal attack for him now…

“By the way, Yuei Vu-sensei, do you want to try again?” Judai was eager to try.

“Not today, I have to rest early today.”

“Oh, that’s it, let’s have a fun duel again when we have a chance later.”

“Um.”

Yuei Vu responded with a smile, thinking in his heart——

——Fun my ass!

You will never bring a smile to my face when you play cards like this.

In the past two days, Kaiba Corp has also made moves.

After suffering a series of previous blows, Kaiba’s stock has now fallen to the bottom, and its reputation has never been worse. So under the leadership of President Seto Kaiba himself, a series of meetings and discussions were held, and the board of directors of the company finally agreed on the best plan that should be taken now and the only one that could quickly restore the company’s reputation and stock price——

——Hold a large-scale duel competition with high international recognition.

After all, dueling could save the world, so of course, it could save businesses too.

Isn’t this common sense?

So Kaiba waved his hand and directly launched the “KC Grand Prix”, inviting powerful duelists from all over the world to participate.

Early this morning, Yuei Vu was still lying in bed in a daze, and the mobile phone not far away started to ring.

Yuei Vu yawned and sat up sleepily. The Kuriboh yelled “Kuri Kuri”, and flew to Yuei Vu’s bed with his mobile phone in its arms.

Yuei Vu rubbed Kuriboh’s fluffy head to express his gratitude, picked it up, and saw that it was the call from President Kaiba.

The president’s speech was as concise as ever, roughly meaning that the organization has decided after discussion, we were going to hold a duel meeting, and the organization was going to send you to participate in the competition to attract viewers.

The gimmick of “The Duel King will also participate” was indeed attractive enough, and there would undoubtedly be a large number of audiences attracted by it.

The president of the schedule mode has probably arranged it.

It was slightly different from the original animation. The qualifiers were held around the world, and duelists who intended to participate and pass the review could be qualified for the semi-finals.

The venue for the semi-finals and finals was the Kaiba Land, which has been officially completed and was about to open soon.

The opening of the Kaiba Land would also be the official opening of the KC Grand Prix. Contestants who passed the qualifiers would have a rematch in the Kaiba Land to compete for the title of champion.

Then the president said that Yuei Vu, who was the Duel King, would be directly sent to the quarterfinals without participating in the preliminaries.

By the way, Yuei Vu remembered that in the animation, Yugi Muto participated in the KC Grand Prix as a special guest, and Kaiba seemed to let him go directly to the finals.

But when it came to Yuei Vu, he was only given the top eight. Why were they treated differently?

Or was it because he was Kaiba’s employee, and there was no pressure to use him, so let him play a few more games to satisfy the audience?

President Kaiba also made it clear that for the sake of Kaiba Land and the company’s construction, he himself has retired from the duel world, and would not participate in this competition.

To be honest, Yuei Vu admired this perseverance.

Do you understand the pain of seeing someone playing poker in your own house, but you can’t join to satisfy your card addiction?

It could also be seen from this that the current situation of Kaiba Corp may not be optimistic, even to the point where the president couldn’t play cards happily……

To Yuei Vu’s surprise, Kaiba didn’t invite Yugi this time.

Is it because he thinks that he already has a Duel King at home, so he doesn’t need outsiders to come to suppress the field?

Of course, if Yuei Vu really didn’t want to go, he could still refuse, and President Kaiba probably wouldn’t force him either.

But Yuei Vu probably also understood that this was already the president asking himself for help.

After all, the president was very awkward, and he would definitely not say anything if he asked for help directly. He would take the initiative to call Yuei Vu to ask Yuei Vu to go to the town hall, and he was not regarded as an outsider.

Considering that the president was really kind to him, and the salary was also generous, even let him go to the card warehouse of Kaiba Corp to take a few cards every three days (so much so that the warehouse management uncle and he became old acquaintances), and the room he lived in belonged to the president…

… Yuei Vu still agreed.

Of course, Yuei Vu did not forget to remind the president that someone might cause trouble in the KC Grand Prix competition, but as he expected, Kaiba really didn’t take it to heart.

“Hmph! Standing on a high place will naturally be watched. If you are afraid, you will not be able to move forward!” Kaiba said disdainfully, “If there are rats who dare to make trouble, then come! I will beat them to pieces. They realized the biggest mistake of their lives!”

This tone, this line, coupled with the president’s unique voice, Yuei Vu even felt a little off-putting through the phone…
