"How can it be?"
Looking at No. 1123, who locked his own health in the flashing lightning and easily turned over with low health by opening the cover card, the man in the gladiator mask knelt down because he failed in the duel.
Even though he didn't carry any punishment device on his body, as a duelist, his heart had been completely shocked.
"Nothing is impossible. Your defeat only proves that your poker skills and luck are inferior to mine."
The quality of the opponents in the underground duel in front of me was still acceptable. After No. 1123 adopted a more efficient attack deck that harvested duelist souls, the opponent in front of me could still persist for the next six rounds, even losing his health. To be able to win in a state that triggers [Desperate Luck] is already an amazing thing.
"Tonight's duel looks like it's over here."
Feeling the constant trembling of the muscles in his body, No. 1123 felt helpless. This night, he had thirty-five duels in this underground duel ground.
In nine of the duels, the opponent was forced into a desperate situation and won the victory. Because the blood was drained and he received an electric shock, although the spirit could bear it, the body of this ordinary person showed some signs of losing control.
If the duel continues, once you encounter a strong enemy and receive a strong electric shock, you may be directly stunned.
"Oh, I didn't expect that what hindered me from playing cards in the underground dueling arena was my body's inability to withstand electric shocks."
No. 1123 feels a little uncomfortable. I feel that the underground duel field here is not humane at all. Why don't you only shock people after losing, but when you are playing cards and deducting blood?
No. 1123 received the reward of 350,000 euros won in the underground duel tonight, and talked about it with Mr. Xi'an, the head of the Sicilian family here.
Then, I got the idea that "this is to make the duel scene more enjoyable to watch".
"After all, if you have to wait until the duelist loses before recharging, then the situation where the LP value is deducted midway is not exciting.
Some electric shocks and screams can increase the excitement of the audience. Duelists who perform well can occasionally get rewards from some high-rollers.
Some underground duelists even meet in private to play exhibition matches, adjusting each other to the weakest current to create a very entertaining duel.
And this is also how some underground duelists survive..."
Mr. Xi'an is not a talkative person, but this situation will change depending on the person he talks to.
For example, when facing a wealthy and powerful guest like No. 1123, Mr. Xi'an showed considerable etiquette and respect, and introduced some information about the duelists in the underground dueling arena without hesitation.
"Of course, for a duel expert like you, an exhibition match is probably an insult, but if you intend to perform in an underground duel venue, please be sure to cooperate with our Sicilian family."
He smiled and revealed his true purpose.
"I'm not interested in match-fixing."
No. 1123 said.
"We don't want you to violate your principles, we just want to use money to buy your principles that you may sell. Our BOSS has a saying that some things are not for sale. It does not mean that they are not for sale, but only people who want to buy. The price given is not enough.”
"Then what price can you give?"
"This depends on how high your dueling ability can be, and how willing the audience in the underground dueling arena is to believe in your ability.
However, as long as the funds used by the outside to control the outcome can reach hundreds of millions, there will be a basic 19%. For every 100 million, it will increase by 5%, up to a maximum of 37%. "
The largest source of funds in the underground dueling arena is actually ***. If the duelists are strong enough, they can cooperate with the underground dueling arena.
Of course, overtly the duelists and the underground duels are not the same, but secretly the outcome of some important competitions is actually manipulated.
After a game, the organizers of the underground duel field will win a lot of money.
Full, and the actors and duelists participating in the duel may also pay appearance fees to get a soft hand.
"What if I don't plan to cooperate with you?"
"Please rest assured that as a distinguished guest, you will still not have any trouble. At most, our duel venue will not be the banker of any duel cards involving you."
If the duelists are willing to cooperate and can control the outcome of the card game, the banker will naturally win more. However, if the duelists do not cooperate, underground duels can also open gambling-type gambling games. The odds are determined by the betting funds of both parties. It was decided that you can still pump water in the underground dueling arena to earn handling fees. There is no problem at all. At most, you will earn less.
"No matter what, we are willing to make friends with capable duelists. If you want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, please don't forget the Sicilian family. In addition, after leaving this door, I will not admit that I just said If so, please forgive me."
Mr. Xi'an said politely.
"I will think about it. If there is an opportunity for cooperation, I will give priority to working with you."
No. 1123 doesn't care about match-fixing. As long as the event doesn't involve too many duelist souls, if necessary, he doesn't mind using this method to make a fortune in this world, which he can control at will. funds.
"Come here, drive the best car and take the distinguished guests back to the hotel!"
Mr. Xi'an smiled, and No. 1123 did not refuse the other party's kindness in releasing him.
In the following days, every night, No. 1123 would kill randomly in the underground dueling arena in Rome.
His bounty points are getting higher and higher, and his fame is getting bigger and bigger, but the title of [Electric Shock King] is somewhat subtle.
The origin of this name is because the duelists he played cards with were all fine, but even if he defeated his opponent, he would suffer electric shocks from time to time during the duel.
And he didn't show any signs of discomfort every time he was shocked, so rumors gradually emerged that he was an M-type duelist who liked being shocked.
And this kind of "M-type duelist who likes to be shocked" is obviously not worthy of his status as the king of underground duels in Rome, so he has the title of "Electric Shock King".
This name gave No. 1123 a bit of a toothache, but compared to the name "M-type duelist who likes to be shocked", it was barely acceptable.
No. 1123 was obsessed with dueling (cutting leeks), and a famous enough name could attract many challengers who wanted to seize his bounty points, so he just let it go and did not do much to correct the outside world. His misconceptions.
"Mr. Wu Ke is really a duel maniac. How many duelists have he defeated these days?!"
Pedri, who had changed from a tour guide to serving as a VIP assistant in the underground dueling arena, said with some amazement when he saw another powerful duelist being OTKed by No. 1123 on the field.
"He is the duelist who plays cards most frequently that I have ever seen. I have heard that some duelists suffer from card addiction. If they do not play more than ten card games a day, they will feel uncomfortable all over. The specific performance is like the withdrawal of an addict. The reaction was the same, I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn’t expect such a person to exist?!”
Xi'an Sicily, who was standing next to Pedri, also said with some amazement that he had regarded No. 1123 as a super card that was obsessed with playing cards.
"I even think that the reason why he doesn't let his opponent wear the electromagnetic ring device is so that the opponent can quickly recover from the defeat after failing in the card game, and can quickly come to him to play a revenge game, and then let him enjoy it. in."
"Ah, after hearing Mr. Xi'an's analysis, I just want to say one thing, he is worthy of being the King of Electric Shock!"
.
.
Just when No. 1123 began to earn the unique name of Electric Shock King in the underground duel world on the Italian side of the world.
In the GX Academy on a small island in the east, the participating students began to suffer from Duel Syndrome because they lost him as the target of a high-intensity duel.
"Wait, what is Duel Syndrome?"
Principal Jiaodao said he could not understand this kind of
I asked the school doctor about the condition of the sick students.
"This symptom is more complicated to explain, but Principal Kashishima, you can think of it as a combination of post-war stress disorder and Stockholm syndrome."
The school doctor explained.
"What the hell, post-war stress disorder and Stockholm Syndrome. The students in the academy have not gone to war or been harmed. How come they have a combination of these two diseases?"
Principal Jiaodao couldn't understand it even more.
"Your Excellency, Principal, this is just an exaggerated metaphor. The game of cards is like a battlefield. What I want to say is that the high-intensity card playing process in the previous exchange competition was actually similar to a situation on the battlefield. But after returning to the academy, , they were dominated by the dueling devil, but after experiencing this series of events, they acquired these two different mental illnesses.
When the duel devil was still in the school, the high-intensity duel environment was still maintained, so most of the students had no intention to think wildly. But after the opponent left the school, the high-intensity duel environment was lost, and the students suffered from The symptoms started. "
"Well, by saying all that, I actually want to say that these listless students are just card addicts?"
"Well, that's right, that's pretty much it."
"Then how about I strengthen the card-playing atmosphere in the school and let them play more cards?"
Principal Jiaodao asked.
"It's not that simple. What causes card addiction is post-traumatic stress disorder, but to solve the problem, we must take into account the underlying Stockholm syndrome.
What these students really want in their hearts is to go back to the time when they were struggling to play cards. They want to re-experience the extreme state of struggling to play cards.
Just like fans who have experienced extreme sports and fell in love with extreme sports, ordinary poker games can no longer solve their addiction problem. "
"What is your treatment suggestion?"
"To untie the bell, you must tie the bell. The best thing is to call back the culprit who caused this situation and ask him to cooperate in treating these sick students."
"But I can't contact anyone."
Principal Jiaodao said somewhat helplessly.
"Then we can only change our thinking."
The school nurse sighed.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Letting them play more cards is indeed a good way to alleviate their card addiction, but on this basis I would like to add a requirement, which is to provide those students with card addiction with a strong playing environment."
The school doctor said with some helplessness that this method can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
As long as the shadow of the duel left by that big devil still exists in the students' hearts.
Then, they will never be able to cure themselves of their mental illness.
"I'll give them strength."
Principal Jiaodao assured him, while thinking about asking someone to find No. 1123.
"I want to play cards, don't stop me from playing cards..."
"Where is the Demon King of Duel? I want to challenge him..."
"It's so painful. Why can't I feel a little pressure from the poker game? My opponent, you should be stronger and give me more pressure..."
Some students in GX Academy are like addicts in withdrawal. The more amazing their poker skills and luck are, the stronger the discomfort they will feel after losing the high-intensity poker environment.
Even poker veterans such as Yujo Judai and Marufuji Ryo cannot avoid this influence. The less stressful the card games are, the more boring they feel. It seems that the pure joy of playing cards is leaving them.
"Why on earth? I'm obviously not the kind of person who pursues victory or defeat too much, right?"
Yucheng Judai was reflecting on himself, but he was also troubled by the irritability growing in his heart.
"Is it possible that that person's dark power, which can take away other people's will to fight, continues to influence us?"
Misawa Daichi analyzed the situation and came up with a possibility.
"No, when he took away the will to duel, we just didn't want to play cards.
, but the current situation is not that I don’t want to play cards, but that I want to have a card game with a really powerful duelist. In my heart, I am longing for a powerful opponent and a difficult duel, just like... "
Yujo Judai stopped talking, but Asuka continued what he had not finished.
"It's like an M-type duelist who expects to be defeated and ravaged by other powerful duelists!"
After finishing speaking, Tenjoin Asuka blushed, as if she had revealed that she knew too much.
Fortunately, the friends gathered together were all veteran players and did not think deeply about the meaning of her words.
"Hey, we are a little tired of playing cards with each other. Where can we find strange and powerful duelists? How about another exciting school exchange competition in the academy?"
Wan Zhanmu was lying on the table dejectedly, looking weak and weak. His three card elves had similar reactions to him.
At this moment, Yusheng Judai actually saw wisps of invisible gas emerging from Wan Zhanmu and his card spirits, transmitting to a black shadow whose specific appearance was unclear in the void. , but these visions disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if they were just illusions caused by his eyesight.
Yujo Judai: "..."
Suddenly there was a feeling of storm coming.
.
.
"I finally found it. The key to sealing the three phantom demons. I don't know if the legend is true or not?
However, in this situation, one can only believe the legend seriously.
I hope that the group of organizations in the prophecy that intend to resurrect the three phantom demons can be more powerful and put enough pressure on the students of our school..."
In the principal's office, Principal Jiaojiao took out a wooden box with a charm on it and said to himself.
"No, Principal Kyojima, the school doctor just asked you to provide students with a high-intensity duel environment. He didn't ask you to open the key to the sealing barrier that our school keeps, right?"
[In view of the general environment,
The assistant tried to stop the principal's move.
"But now I don't seem to have any other good solution except this, and my current duel strength cannot even defeat some sick students."
Principal Jiaodao was also helpless.
