Is This the Poker World? Ada Thief!

I will become the dueling king, and the dueling king will definitely be in my hippocampus' pocket!

Hearing Haima's self-confident declaration, Hayato also smiled: "Since you have already talked about this, fine, I will participate in next Saturday's press conference to give you a platform. But I am not helping you for nothing, As a deal, after I beat that lucky Mr. Champion, you also have to do me a favor, Kaiba."

"Hmph, you can make whatever request you want, but the premise is that you can defeat me, and you can defeat me who became the champion of this 'KC Cup'."

Said, Haima hung up the phone,

"Sure enough, it's the KC Cup, but from Haima's point of view, is the International Illusion Society and the Haima Group united? Although it's not the first time, but not long ago, the two groups that you came to and fought with each other were able to cooperate so unitedly , I have to sigh that there are no permanent enemies in the commercial field, only permanent interests."

Putting the phone away, Hayato turned his head while talking to himself, and saw Wanzhang Muzhun and Yucheng Judai looking at him expectantly.

"KC Cup..."

"champion..."

"Duel with the dueling king!"

Wanzhang Muzhun, who was still very upset with Judai before, was quite in sync with his actions, and said in unison: "Mr. Hayato/Mr., we also want to participate in the KC Cup!"

Hayato looked at Judai and Wanzhangmu, whose expressions were quite sincere, as if he would evolve from "craftsmanship spirit" to "Tachita constellation star" if he didn't agree to them, rubbed his chin, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Participate, you can participate join."

What Kaiba said just now gave Hayato a good idea.

———Hippocampus in Inca g————

Under the power of the Crimson King, time flew by, and several days passed in the blink of an eye.

On Saturday morning, in front of the just-completed Tongshiye Sports Center contracted by Haima Group, a press conference jointly organized by Haima Group and International Illusion Society was officially held.

At the press conference, the two champions of Duel Kingdom - Kobayashi Hayato and Yugi Muto attended, and 100% share holders of International Illusion Society, talented game designer, father of duel monsters, one-eyed silver-haired naive gringo (crossed out) Mr. Bekas J. Cloverdo officially signed the share transfer agreement, each holding 30% of the shares of International Mirage Society.

Subsequently, Bekas and Haima Guiping, the vice president of Haima Group, jointly released a new duel monster rule called "Master Rules", which restricts and modifies the effects of some cards in the duel monster cards, such as [Chaos Emperor] Cards such as Dragon-The Messenger of the End] and [Bataiwu] are listed as forbidden cards and are not allowed to be used in official duels.

Cards that are powerful but not as influential as forbidden cards, such as [Heaven's Treasure Card], are listed as restricted cards, and only one card can be placed in a deck.

And at the end of the press conference, when the reporters had already started sorting out today's manuscripts and were about to leave, the wind suddenly blew up on the venue of the press conference, and accompanied by the roar of propellers, the wind became stronger and stronger.

Under the eyes of Hayato, Youyou, and Guiping, Haima stood by the door of a helicopter in the shape of a [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], holding the armrest with one hand, and pressing the earphone with the other. Came from the speaker: "The most important news, it is impossible not to be left until the end."

"Duelists who watched this press conference, do you still remember the duel city not long ago? Do you feel sorry for not being able to enter the top eight and compete with the dueling king for the supremacy?"

"Want to experience the wonderful experience of colliding with the duelist souls of top duelists again? Then congratulate, your chance has come!"

"The fiery duel competition is about to be held again! A week later, the largest duel monster event in history will be held in San Francisco, USA, jointly organized by the Haima Group and the International Illusion Society. Then, let's celebrate the start of the fierce duel again Bar!"

The white windbreaker on the seahorse standing next to the helicopter danced wildly with the wind. Hayato really didn't understand if Kaiba had any strange preference for helicopters. Why did he stand on the helicopter every time he announced the opening of a duel monster event?

But seeing Kaiba's windbreaker, Hayato suddenly understood.Probably because the airflow from the helicopter is relatively strong, and the windbreaker on his body looks handsome when it is blown up?

Although the other three people in the press conference seat also focused on the car of the hippocampus, they felt that the main problem was the external shape.They probably also think it’s cool to use a helicopter for travel?

"Haima's aesthetics are really so... er, unique?" I have to say, the words of the game are really high EQ to the extreme.

Even Guiping had a look of helplessness: "Obviously I reminded my brother not to use that helicopter before departure. It's not like the Haima Group doesn't have normal helicopters..."

Bekas, on the other hand, is very interested in the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]-shaped helicopter in the sky: "What, Seahorse Boy's helicopter is super kawaii, Oh My God, I think this kind of helicopter is simply a work of art, which makes people It's funny after reading it!"

The hippocampus in mid-air naturally couldn't hear the whispers of the people on the ground. While blowing the cold wind, he began to introduce the process of the KC cup.

First of all, compared to Duel City, the KC Cup has no restrictions on the duelist’s deck quality, duel strength, etc. As long as your deck composition is correct and meets 40 cards, and you have a dueling disk that can be used normally, you can sign up Participate in the competition.But at the same time, the KC Cup has also increased the process of the audition.Only those who have gained enough points through duels in the auditions can be shortlisted for the official competition and become famous in the live broadcast of the competition.

With the test of Duel City, this time the KC Cup boldly expanded the number of people in the official competition to a full 64 people. The official players were divided into four groups of ABCD with 16 people in each group. The strongest among the four groups will be determined, followed by the semi-finals and finals to select the champion of the KC Cup.

It can be said that Haima has completely played the game. Leaving aside the benefits after the popularity of duel monsters is brought up, the TV broadcast during the duration of the KC Cup alone is a lot of money.

In addition, even if someone wants to try his luck to see if he can turn his bicycle into a motorcycle to fight for the 500 million yen prize for the championship, he must first buy a duel disc monopolized by the Haima Group. This guy Haima won.

"Wait and hope, duelists!" Haima's speech came to the end, "Whether it's wealth or honor, everything is waiting for you on the throne of the duelist king!"

"Bring your fangs to the throne!"

"Oh oh oh oh!!!"

Kaiba's [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] helicopter flew away from the press conference, leaving behind everyone in the venue who was incited by Kaima and stared at Hayato like a hungry wolf about to eat people.Rao even Hayato was stared at by this kind of stare, making his heart shudder.

Belatedly, he thought: No, why have I never heard of the honor and wealth on the throne of the Duel King?

Damn, that bastard Haima definitely got the kickback!

Chapter 10 Duels Bring Smiles

In front of the registration office for the KC Cup, the staff of the International Illusion Club squinted their glasses under the sunglasses, and checked the deck shown by the man in a neat suit. Basically, there was nothing wrong with it.

In the basic forty-card deck, except for one [Treasure from Heaven], there are no restricted cards, and no banned cards have been put in. In addition, there is a duel board that is one of the qualifications for the competition. Basically, this person is qualified for the competition. There shouldn't be any problems.

"Tan, Li Dou?" In jerky Japanese, he barely read the name written on the registration form by the man in the suit, and stamped a piece of paper. The staff looked at Hayato suspiciously, "I&o& you sowhere (I seem to be in Where have I seen you)..."

"Hi Xiaolongbao sorry goodbye!"

The man in the suit had no intention of staying here and letting the staff recall who he really was. He quickly left the registration office after getting back his card group and the qualification certificate that had been stamped.

Although it was a little strange who the person who looked familiar was, but because there were still many people who wanted to register at the registration office, the staff quickly forgot about the person named "Dan Lidou".

The staff member felt the same way, and there was a pink-haired man in the queue for the competition.

'That guy just now looks like he's an East Asian, Dan Kuroto, Dan Rito? The pink-haired man has good hearing, and he heard the name the staff member just said.He can be sure that he has no impression of the name "Dan Lidou", but he, like the staff member, feels that he seems to have seen "Dan Lidou" somewhere.

However, he also didn't delve into it. He felt that it was probably because the appearance of East Asians was not much different in his eyes, so he felt that "Tan Lidou" looked familiar.

"Speaking of Yameruda, I remember you hate the Haima Group, why would you want to participate in this competition?"

Such a voice came from behind the pink-haired man.

"Hmph, think about it, Baron. I have only one goal from the beginning to the end, and that is Seto Kaiba. The prize money for the championship is a full 500 million. Although it is not US dollars but Japanese yen, I think Even if Seto Kaiba lost such a large sum of money, he would feel distressed."

Turning his head slightly, the pink-haired man saw two strangely dressed men chatting. The red-haired man's words revealed a kind of hatred for the Kaiba Group, and even specifically Seto Kaiba.

'Hmph, are you also not used to the Haima Group?But it's too ignorant, what is a mere 500 million yen? 'The pink-haired man is turning his head, not looking at the two of them.

In the winter, one wore only a thin round-neck shirt under an open windbreaker, and the other was wearing a studded armor that only people would wear at animation conventions. They were not normal people.

Let me, Chigfried von Schrader, chairman of the dignified Schrader Group, genius inventor, genius duelist, Europe's "undefeated nobleman", Chigfried von Schrader, be with such a bunch of low-brow countrymen Queue up to sign up, hateful Seto Kaiba!

"Samejima, Iemitsu?" "Yeah, It's, sir."

A middle-aged East Asian man in front of Chigfried von Schrader finished his registration, and when he turned to leave, he smiled politely at Chigfried behind him, but Chigfried just smacked arrogantly. After dusting off his dark red suit, he walked to the registration office with a cold snort.

He is a nobleman, not everyone is qualified to greet him.

Picking up a pen and writing the pseudonym "Chigu Lloyd" on the registration form, Chigu Fried felt that he was a genius, "I can come up with the idea of ​​signing up for the competition under a false identity. My talent is really frightening!" '

"I actually came up with the idea of ​​signing up for the competition with a fake identity. What's frightening is my divine talent!" In a deserted corner, "Tan Lidou" proudly placed the [Death Stalker] in the card group. ] The card used to conceal his identity was removed, and replaced with a [Rainbow Chestnut Ball] card that would reveal his identity at a glance.

His figure was blurred for only a moment, and then, on his chest and waist, a hollow golden disc and a golden scepter emerged.

Raise your hand casually to lift up your drooping bangs, who else but Hayato?

After taking out his own card from the warehouse and adjusting it, Hayato showed a smug smile.Since Haima is unkind, don't blame him for being unrighteous.Even the organizers themselves can participate, so it is reasonable for one of the champion's "prizes" to participate, right?

As for the fact that he is very easy to be recognized as the Duel King, it is not a problem at all. Since Malik was diagnosed as unable to play dark games, it is useless for him to hold the [Millennium Scepter]. He took over the [Millennium Scepter] in the name of rent.

The reason why Chigufried and the registration office staff felt that they had seen Hayato but had no impression of Hayato's appearance was the effect of the "Millennium Scepter".

As a symbol of the brain's thinking ability, the [Millennium Scepter] cannot "control the mind" as easily as the [Millennium Eye], but it only prevents others from comparing Hayato's appearance with the "Duel King Xiaolin" in their impression. Hayato" can be said to be a breeze.

Because the object of applying this ability is not other people's brains but Hayato's appearance, the number of people that can be affected at one time is quite considerable, even if Hayato is seen through a monitor.Of course, Hayato used his real identity when going through customs.

Many people came to the United States with him, including Honda, Kyoko, Jouchi, Yugi, Yuga, Guiping, and even Malik and Shuangliu.As for the transportation to come to the United States?Of course it's the new toy of the big dog Haima --- a jet plane in the shape of [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]. Unfortunately, it's not the kind that can cheat corpses when cards on the field are destroyed by effects.

Different from the previous sightseeing groups, among the passengers who arrived in the United States on the seahorse jet this time, in addition to the tool man Isino and his younger brothers, whether it was Malik, Yujia or the old man Shuangliu, even Kyoko, Honda and Kei Ping also intends to participate.

After all, 500 million yen is just a drop in the bucket for Haima Group, but it is not a small amount for ordinary people.Of course, Guiping and Honda have slightly different reasons for participating. Guiping intends to use "I want to participate" as an excuse to let my brother who is addicted to playing cards see how many things he has to deal with after holding a game.

And Honda is purely because he is idle and idle, why not play with his good friends and see how far he can go when he has never been in contact with duel monsters.

The old man Shuangliu came to the United States specially. On the one hand, he was a little itchy after not having a duel for so many years. On the one hand, he was also very interested in the champion's 500 million prize money. His old friend——Professor Arthur Hopkins invited him to meet him, saying that he had found a very interesting archaeological document and planned to share it with his old friend.

Just when Hayato had almost finished sorting out the deck, a voice came from behind him: "I didn't expect to meet a big man like you here, Hayato Kobayashi."

Turning his head, looking at the yellow-haired man in front of him, Hayato recalled slightly: "Are you, Xuanyuan Fourteen?"

"Rafiru, this is my real name. This is the second time we have met, Hayato Kobayashi." The yellow-haired man Rafiru looked at the crowd around him. He did not lower his voice, but others After hearing the famous name "Kobayashi Hayato" in duelist circles, no one noticed this side.

Looking at the green light on the necklace hanging on his chest, Rafilo's eyes skipped over the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] on Hayato's chest, and stayed on the [Millennium Scepter] at his waist: "It turns out So, is it the power of [Millennium Props]? It’s really amazing.”

"To each other, don't you also have a strange power that doesn't belong to you." Hayato looked at the necklace with a strange green light blooming on Laferu's chest.Is that the fragment of Olihagang?

"Then Mr. Laferu, what do you want to do after recognizing my true identity?"

"I just say hello to you, who is recognized as the strongest duelist so far, Hayato Kobayashi. Now is not the right time for me to reveal my purpose. After I win the KC Cup, I will say it at that time." My purpose is settled."

As Rafilu said, he was about to turn around and leave, just as he said, it seemed that he really just came to say hello.But at this moment, he saw two people walking towards him behind him.

"Hey Ameruda, there, there, I found Lafelu." After seeing Lafelu, the yellow hair wearing a rivet shoulder pad of the same style as Claude said carelessly to his companion next to him greeted.

"I'm not blind, Baron." Next to the guy named Baron, the red-haired man named Yameruda complained, and after only glancing at Lafeilu, his eyes were fixed on Lafei. Hayato next to Lu looked.

"I was a little uncertain just now. I thought it was my illusion. Isn't this the dueling king Hayato Kobayashi." While talking, Ameruda inserted his card group into the duel disk worn on his left wrist, With a fighting spirit on his face, "I will take this opportunity to take it from your hands——"

"What are you doing, Ameruda!"

To Hayato's surprise, Rafiel moved a step after seeing Ameruda's actions, and stood between Hayato and Ameruda, and asked sharply.

When he saw Ameruda inserting the card into the duel disk, Hayato was ready for the dark game.

Although his DP points fell to zero not long ago, with the help of the overconfident and enthusiastic citizens of the United States—referring to the robbery gangster who thought he was invincible in the field of poker—his DP points returned to four. digits.Although it is just a drop in the bucket to draw cards and open packs, it is enough to open dark games for a long time.

"Get out of the way, Rafiru." Ameruda looked at Rafiru who was standing in front of him, and said unhappily, "Anyway, sooner or later we will have to confront him, don't forget, Kobayashi Hayato In my hands I have--"

"Since you also know that it will happen 'someday', before the time comes, don't do unnecessary things, Yameruda!" Lafeilu has no intention of backing down, "Or do you plan to betray that My lord, destroy his plan!"

Hearing that Rafiru had already mentioned "that lord", Ameruda glanced at Hayato behind Rafeiru, snorted coldly, and reluctantly put away the opened duel board: "For, That lord, I will listen to you this time."

"You saved your life, Hayato Kobayashi. Hmph!" Saying that, Ameruda turned around, and left without waiting for Rafeel and the guy named Barong.

"Hey, Ameruda, don't walk so fast alone!"

Rafilu looked at Ameruda who left on his own and Baron who followed him. He had nothing to do with this most extreme companion, so he turned his head and looked at Hayato: "Then, there will be a period later, Hayato Kobayashi."

Looking at the three people who left, Hayato frowned, and took out three cards from the card box at his waist -- [Osiris' Sky Dragon], [Obelisk's Colossus], and [La's Winged Dragon].

Although Ameruda's words are always interrupted by Rafeel at critical moments, Hayato knows that their purpose is the card of the three phantom gods he holds.

Facing the appearance of the Three Musketeers of Doma—that is, the three of them—Lafelu, Ameruda, and Barong—Hayato was surprised, but also a little puzzled about what Dazi behind them was planning. .
