My eyes shifted slightly to the west. In a hospital in a small town in the western United States, shortly after Kyoko Masaki defeated "Mortal" with her seed blast, the International Illusion Society's special car drove over along the dirt road near the town, and because The car Umino Sachiko needed had to transport the wounded, which was more demanding, so Miss Umino still did not leave the hospital.
However, besides Umino Sachiko, there was one other person who also stayed.
"Common people are so cunning~" Miss Umino looked at Gozen Ryuuji who stayed in her ward, with a wicked smile on her face that said "I have seen through everything": "Stay here while I am still seriously injured. In the ward... this is indeed a good way to gain favor in the game."
"I didn't think so!" Gozen Ryuuji only felt regretful at this time - why was he stupid enough to stay and take care of this unpleasant young lady? "What is going on in your head? It's such a mess." of!"
"Ahem!" Sachiko Umino planned to fake cough to divert attention, but she unexpectedly coughed up blood. After seeing the blood, Gozen Ryuuji hurriedly wanted to go out to find a nurse, but Miss Umino wiped it calmly. Wiping his mouth, he called back to Yuqian Long'er: "Common people are really easily excited. Can't they see the situation clearly? They panic over such a trivial matter. If I let you..."
"This is not a trivial matter, okay!" Gozen Ryuuji's roar could be heard in the next ward. "Do you know what the big man just said when he came over: He said that the doctor told him that your condition has worsened. If Without surgery, the only option is amputation! You can still joke around here...who are the 'common people' who can't see the situation clearly?"
"..." Umino Sachiko lowered her head and said nothing.
"Eh... well, I didn't mean it." After yelling, Gozen Ryuuji felt that it was wrong to yell at people, and apologized hastily, but unexpectedly when Umino Sachiko raised her head, she didn't show her usual expression: "Common people, food "My shoes are dirty." His expression was arrogant, but he looked like he was relieved, "Actually, amputation is not a bad thing."
"You..." Gozen Ryuuji's eyes widened, "What are you talking about!"
He is getting more and more confused now: A young lady who has had no worries about food and clothing, and who has had nothing since she was a child, would think that amputation is a good thing? You rich man, your thoughts are changing too fast. As a commoner, I really don’t understand!
"Common people, do you know about the 'Angel Zaibatsu'?" Miss Umino turned her head and said to Gozen Ryuuji: "If you don't know, there is a computer over there, you can search it."
This time, Gozen Ryuuji rarely refuted the term "common people" - it is unclear whether it was because he was used to being called "common people" or for other reasons. However, Gozen Ryuuji did not know about the "Angel Zaibatsu", so he turned to He turned around and searched for the name on the Internet using the computer in the ward.
"Leader in chips", "Leader in Hokkaido's technology industry", "Savior of the technology industry in District 11"... countless glorious titles were found, which made Ryuuji Ozen, who had not cared about current affairs before, become more and more frightened: " This is really a huge thing! But..."
At the same time, Gozen began to wonder silently: Why did Umino Sachiko suddenly mention the "Angel Zaibatsu" at this time?
However, all these random thoughts were shattered when Gozen Ryuuji saw the name of the chairman of the "Angel Zaibatsu".
Chairman: Yu Umino.
"This is..." Gozen stared at Umino Sachiko with his eyes widened: Is this your family's property? That's it, right? ! I'm sorry, I thought you had some dark history and you were just here to show off your wealth?
"Don't look at us common people like that." Sachiko Umino shrugged and said, "Read the recent news carefully."
"News...huh?" Yuqian frowned, and then started reading, "Is this...the termination of cooperation? Cooperation with the Kaiba Group?"
After reading so much news related to the "Angel Zaibatsu" of the Umino family, Gozen finally learned that this is a chaebol with a long history. They have existed since hundreds of years ago. In the past, the Umino family has always been They were engaged in porcelain trade, but only turned to chip manufacturing after the third industrial revolution. Currently, they are the largest chip manufacturer in District 11.
As we all know, the best chip company in the world is Moklock in the United States, but their chips are well made and expensive. As a result, many manufacturers in the world will only use Moklock's chips in the experimental and testing stages. When it comes to actual mass production, cheaper alternatives will be chosen. The same is true for the chips of the "Angel Zaibatsu". Their biggest recent deal is the cooperation with the Haima Group to produce chips for the central processor of the duel field.
In the dueling arena era, the Angel Zaibatsu's chips had always satisfied Seto Kaiba; but after entering the era of dueling disks, everything changed: the chips provided by the Angel Zaibatsu were not enough to meet Seto Kaiba's requirements. The duel disk would burn up when dealing with "except plural numbers". This problem later gave rise to a series of problems.
"Why...why did your cooperation with the Kaiba Group end?" Gozen Ryuuji frowned and asked, "I don't think any business-minded company will give up on this cooperation plan."
How profitable is the duel plate? This number is so large that it is impossible for outsiders to explain clearly.
"But there are just some people who have trouble with their brains..." Sachiko Umino said mockingly: "According to the intelligence I got from some friends, the Kaiba Group had three options at the time: First, give up using our chips and use them on mass-produced machines. Also using expensive Moklock chips; second, urging us to invest in development; third, the modification is a software design, but under the calculations of their designer Naoki Fudo, if the design is to be modified, the final mass-produced duel disk will be The finished product will be 20% larger and 35% heavier than the target.”
"This... we can only choose three, right?" Gozen Ryuuji couldn't figure out these things: he was just a gamer and couldn't play with the hardware. "The first one is too expensive, and the second one is too risky and the result is not certain. Okay, the third one is doable, but..."
Obviously, the Kaiba Group did not take the third path. You can see the reason just by looking at the current duel board.
"Well, that's right, someone stood up and pointed out the fourth way to the Haima Group at that time." Sachiko Umino took a sip of tea and slowly said: "The emerging chip manufacturer Huowang Group from China and their representative Yuan Xiaobai , he showed Haima a new chip - the price is similar to ours, but the performance is extremely close to Moklock's chip - there is no reason for Haima Group not to adopt this one."
"so smart?"
"It is said that it was developed based on the original chip that Yuan Xiaobai won from the playboy of Moklock in a duel. Its research and development experience is quite legendary - after all, we also have the original chip, but we just can't understand it." Although. She was talking about her opponent, but Umino Sachiko's tone was full of admiration; then she seemed to think of something again, frowned and said: "However, those old stubborns at home didn't do anything after losing such a big order. Looking for reasons in the product itself, they instead came up with some old-fashioned solutions.”
Recalling what Umino Sachiko said before, "amputation is not a bad thing," Gozen Ryuuji made a bold guess: "Do you mean...marriage?"
"...Look less at it. What kind of marriage is there between relatives and friends? What they mean is that they want me to set up a honey trap." When she said this, Miss Umino showed an expression of disgust on her face, "The Fire Network Group also They are not monolithic. As the largest holding company in the Yuan family, the eldest son Yuan Xiaobai also has opponents, and the old diehards want me to seduce Yuan Xiaobai’s younger brother, Yuan Jiu." 8
