The streets of "Tongshiye Market" are filled with vehicles and people, creating a peaceful yet busy scene.
But the huge shadow passing in the sky broke this ordinary scene. Along with the roar of the dragon, a white flying dragon flew between the buildings. But strangely, the pedestrians on the ground But not even one person raised his head.
On the back of the silver dragon stood a person, wearing a knee-length windbreaker and a helmet shaped like a dragon's head like a "Blue Eyes White Dragon". It was Seto Kaiba. With the [Blue Eyes White Dragon] under his feet, he was able to overlook the familiar scenery of Doshino City in another way, and even Kaiba couldn't help but feel a little excited.
But just as he was enjoying the feeling of being superior, a voice came from behind him: "Is this the world of Duel Link? It's decided, I want to destroy this world."
Turning his head to look, Kaiba saw Hayato, who was dressed like a doctor in a white coat, but was holding a pink film camera to take pictures of the scenery of "Child's Wild City".
Under Kaiba's feet was the "Blue Eyes White Dragon" flying at high speed. Hayato couldn't catch up with Kaiba on his own, and he wasn't some guy named Jose. At the feet of Hayato, who was dressed a little strangely, was a three-headed mechanical dragon - [Electronic Terminator Dragon].
"Hmph, it's just a fake that imitates the perfect posture of [Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon]." Glancing at [Electronic Terminator Dragon], Kaiba said contemptuously, "It's because of your actions using such a monster. Will it be that slow, Hayato Kobayashi?"
"Please, even if the settings of the avatar can be changed freely according to my preferences, it still takes time." Hayato rolled his eyes at Kaiba and complained, "The reason you are faster than me is because you have already set this up. With your image and talent, let’s directly enter the world of Duel Link, Set.”
"No, in this Duel Link world, your name is 'Haibaman', right? Does this codename really have the ability to conceal your identity? Also, can your style be designed without [Blue Eyes]?" "
Hearing Hayato's words, Kaiba retorted: "[Blue Eyes] is the card that can become my trump card. Do you, who has the code name of 'Genius Player K', have the right to say such a thing?"
Kobayashi Hayato spread his hands and shrugged innocently, but a sly smile appeared on his lips, and he suddenly shouted: "You have a bad ass!"
Hayato put on the duel disk and made a card drawing action out of thin air. A monster card appeared in his hand and was suddenly played in the air in front of him. Obviously the [Electronic Terminator Dragon] under his feet had brought himself high into the air, surrounded by strong cold wind from high places, but the monster card placed in front of him was not affected by the airflow at all and just stopped in the air.
After the card was placed, a mechanical demon god with a scarlet body appeared holding a lightning spear. As soon as he appeared, he spread his wings and flew into the air, keeping up with Hayato and Kaiba who were moving at high speed. With no monster to protect him, Kaiba threw the thunder spear in his hand.
"Do you dare to disobey me who owns [Hellfire Machine-Baal]?"
"Hmph, I have seen through your plan a long time ago!" Hayato suddenly launched an attack, but Kaiba looked like he had expected it. He also made a card drawing action and put a card that appeared out of thin air in front of him and said , "[Crystal Dragon], block that monster back!"
The crystal dragon, whose entire body was connected by blue-white sharp crystals and had a slender body, appeared in front of Kaiba. Its wings were folded to block the spear thrown by [Hellfire Machine-Baal], at the cost of several spots appearing on its transparent crystal body. There was a crack, but it still spread its wings again and kept up with Hayato and Kaiba flying at high speed, and started fighting with the [Hellfire Machine-Baal] summoned by Hayato.
But this was just the beginning. Hayabusa and Kaiba were seen walking through the high-rise buildings in Doshino City one after another, summoning their monsters one after another, making the battle situation more and more complicated and involving. The scope is getting bigger and bigger.
[Shenyingyi-Nephili], [Long Yiqiao-Dragon Meteor=QUA], [Dragon Knight-Gaia], [Hellfire Machine-Tiera].
[Tyrant Explosive Dragon], [Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon], [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon], [Abyss-Eyes White Dragon].
From time to time, there were a few attacks with very tricky attack angles that passed over the monsters they were responsible for protecting and hit the opponent directly. With the help of their mounts, the two of them constantly adjusted their positions in the air to dodge, while the avoided attacks were completely invisible. The cuts were made in the Toshino City, which was the background of the battle between the two, and the tall buildings along the way were easily destroyed and turned into ruins.
However, even if the two of them changed their route and adjusted their course many times along the way, the area of Toshino City was only so big, and it was not enough for the two of them to deal with. Not long after, Hayato took his monsters and arrived first. At the Doushinoichi Pier at the end, the strong wind brought about by the deceleration of the [Electronic Terminator Dragon] that lowered its height almost split the water surface.
"Ha, Hayato Kobayashi scored one point first, and I'm one game ahead."
Looking back at Kaiba, who was only one step slower than him, Hayato said proudly, but when Kaiba heard this, he was very unconvinced and immediately denied: "Where did you learn mathematics? This is obviously a draw."
"Ha, I think we can never tell the winner in this world." Looking at the monsters around Kaiba, Hayato raised his finger and counted, "One, two, three or nine? Not bad. ."
"Maybe." Looking at the monsters around Hayato, there were as many as nine at the same time, Kaiba raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "But in this world we have plenty of time."
The upper limit for summoning monsters does not exist in this world, or to put it another way, it is no longer the grid on the duel disk that determines the upper limit of the number of summoned monsters, but the willpower of Hayato and Kaiba. The more powerful they are. The more thoughts can support them in summoning a large number of powerful monsters.
Moreover, although they are considered their respective mounts, Hayato and Kaiba have summoned ten monsters each, but this is still not their limit. The space as big as Doushino City is enough for them to summon ten monsters each. Just come to fight. If there are any more, the fun of commanding monsters to fight will be lost, and it will become a purely boring game of comparing sizes and standing still.
"There is indeed plenty of time, but are you sure you want to continue fighting in such an environment?" Hayato pointed behind Kaiba, and Kaiba turned his head to look at Doshino City, or the area that was once called Doshino City. I saw that in a battle between the two that was not even full-strength, the once high-rise buildings were completely destroyed, leaving only a fragment of ruins. From time to time, there were still ruins that could not stand on their own and collapsed.
"It becomes unobstructed. It will indeed become boring." Kaiba raised his hand nonchalantly, "But it doesn't matter at all."
Following Kaiba's movements, a virtual operation panel appeared in front of him. He pressed a few random buttons on it to open an interface called "Environment Settings" and pressed a button.
"Reset!"
The moment Kaiba pressed the button, Hayato saw everything in front of him as if the video being played had been pressed to stop, and everything was stagnant at this moment. The falling gravel stayed in the air, the splashing waves stopped falling, and the clouds remained motionless. Then, everything went back as fast as rewinding. In just a blink of an eye, the ruins of Doushino City turned back into the bustling Doushino City before the two fought!
After changing the environment back to Toshinoichi, Kaiba turned to look at Hayato: "So, do you want to come for the second round?"
"No, I don't want to see my home being damaged for the second time, even if this place is fake." Looking at the villa area in the distance, Hayato easily found his home in reality. In the battle just now, he didn't know where it was. Whose attack fell there and destroyed the entire villa area, but now it has returned to its original appearance under Kaiba's "reset", "And it still feels a little different, this world."
As he spoke, Hayato also raised his hand to call out the operation interface. He moved his finger to the bottom. The "Exit" button stayed there and was not deleted. He clicked on it.
The scenery in front of him quickly faded and dimmed, and Hayato's eyes were occupied by darkness. Then there was the sound of a mechanical lock being opened, and a gap lit up in front of Hayato.
Hayato raised his hand to touch his head and found the open gap. He lifted it up and took off the helmet on his head.
On the sofa opposite him, Kaiba also took off his pure white helmet and looked at Hayato with an unhappy look on his face: "If you don't want to come back to the second round, why did you ask me to reset Doushinoichi?"
"Oh, I am here to help you test the various functions of the system to see if there are any bugs. It would be bad if something goes wrong and it becomes a death game after it is fully open to the outside world." Hayato smiled. He put the helmet in front of him and said to Kaiba, "Also, don't you really consider adding a voice activation function to this thing? I think the activation phrase 'Link is dead' is pretty good."
"There are only two Neurons helmets in total. One is the prototype in my hand, and the one in your hand is the test machine I just asked someone to make temporarily." Putting his helmet on the table, Kaiba slightly He moved his neck and said, "Rather than adding those boring things, it is better to continue to improve its structure to reduce weight and increase battery life."
Seeing Kaiba's movements, Hayato also moved his sore neck: "If you don't tell me, I really don't think that the weight of this thing really needs to be improved. It's just that after a while, my neck felt a little sore. If I play for a long time, it wouldn't be the same." It’s easy to get cervical spondylosis while lying in bed.”
"The hardware problem is easy to solve. After all, this is my work a few years ago. The important thing is the software - the virtual world part that I tentatively named 'Duel Link'." He crossed his fingers and posed with his seahorse. A certain commander's signature move, but it's a pity that he didn't wear sunglasses, otherwise the reproduction would be even higher. "You ran away without permission in the middle of the sentence. What did you mean by 'it's not even close' just now?"
"It means literally. Although the degree of restoration is very high, in the final analysis, the world linked by the duel can only be regarded as a simulated 'scene', not a 'world'." Hayato spread his hands, "Even if it is filled in more Multiple scenes and NPCs are useless, it’s just too empty.”
"Hmph, don't worry about this problem, it will be solved soon." Kaiba's mouth curled up, "After the Neurons helmet is released, players will naturally enter that world to fill in the missing content, if it is just a problem in this area , there is no problem in the duel link world."
"So, how did you observe the other thing?"
Hayato heard this and shook his head: "Unfortunately, I haven't found anything worthy of the person you mentioned. After all, I haven't seen what the 'little girl' you mentioned looks like until now."
As he spoke, Hayato looked at the surveillance video of the moment before the two of them put on their helmets and entered the duel link world. He pointed at Kaiba, who was drawing cards inside, and said, "Even I can only... I saw you alone inside, there is nothing called a little girl."
"Hmph, to be able to crack the security measures of the Kaiba Group and sneak into such a deep place, the guy named 'Sera' must have a very powerful hacker as an accomplice." Kaiba said unhappily, "She must have also given the surveillance camera to her. It was invaded and modified so that she does not exist. It seems that I need to update the Haima Group's firewall in the near future."
"Yes, that's right, brother. It must have been done by hackers, it couldn't be some supernatural incident." Hayato casually treated Kaiba and looked at the surveillance video again.
After Xia Di took away the Blue God, Hayato solved the bad gangsters who had offended him and rushed to the Kaiba Group. However, Kaiba moved quickly and solved the Blue God who came to him before he arrived. The accomplice - a teenage girl named "Sela".
But when Kaiba looked through the surveillance video, trying to find Sera who broke into Haima Group without authorization and somehow escaped, he surprisingly found that Sera had never appeared in the surveillance video. There is no way to find out the identity.
However, Hayato reminded Kaiba in time that he could actually look for clues from Sera's main target - the Neurons helmet and the accompanying Duel Link World. That's how Hayato and Kaiba entered the Duel Link World together. Looking for clues, although it later turned into a battle between two very playful people.
The name "Duel Link" is the same as the name of a mobile game in Hayato's previous life, but it's probably just a coincidence. While fighting, Hayato also carefully observed the world called Duel Link, but to be honest, he really didn't find anything worthy of Sera's concern, and he didn't even have an impression of Sera's character. Blue God comes profoundly.
After all, no matter how cute a little loli is, can she still have fun playing cards?
I had a busy day yesterday, and I woke up with a runny nose this morning. Damn gravity!
