Can a crazy thing be called cheating?

Prior to this, in the popular impression, the Atlantis Cup was hosted by Paradis Corporation, assisted by Seahorse Corporation and International Fantasy Club.

If all goes well, Paradis Corporation will take the lion's share of the benefits obtained through this competition, and the other two companies will at most get some broth and gain a wave of fame. Paradis Corporation will use this to strongly intervene in the battle of the dueling monsters. Domain, with the huge reputation it has accumulated to share the biggest and most beautiful piece of the card duel cake—but now, all the planning and market estimates made by the marketing department of Paradis Company for dueling monsters have become someone else's wedding dress , cheaper Haima company.

They can even take this opportunity to sweep away the adverse effects of the previous incident on Haima Company.

"You know that, Mister Ranger."

Perhaps because of the friendship between Ranger and Haima who fought side by side not long ago, Isino said a little too much: "Although the troubles were all caused by Doma, the blame fell on our Haima company."

"The video of the dueling monster and the coma of the duelist caused the stock price of our Haima company to drop a lot. Those who know the inside story are fine, but after all, those who don't know the reason account for the majority. The Internet and newspapers are full of criticism and doubts about us. , There are still many media or individuals taking advantage of the fire to blackmail us. The problems we face are not much better than those of Paradis Company, and if we are a little careless, Paradis Company is a lesson for us.”

"So the president has a bad temper during this time, and puts the KC Cup at the same level as the opening ceremony of the Seahorse Paradise—as long as the KC Cup and Seahorse Paradise can be successfully completed, it will boost everyone's fight against duel monsters." With Haima’s confidence, this crisis will be overcome naturally.”

"Mr. Game, they came to the United States this time to participate in the KC Cup, but I found that you, Mr. Ranger, were not on the entry list, so I came here specially. I hope that you, Mr. Ranger, can also come to participate in this grand event."

"You've already talked about this..."

You Xia glanced at the respectful Isino, thought for a while, and said, "Okay. After all, Kaima and I are friends, so of course we can help, and I'm also very interested in the KC Cup."

"Many thanks!"

Isono stood at attention and bowed to the ranger.

"In this case, all the duo of Duel City will be here. With your support, this KC Cup will definitely be a great success."

"I will report this news to the president and Master Guiping immediately!"

Isono said excitedly.

Was it a big success?

Indeed, with the popularity of Seto Kaiba's wrist and the Atlantis Cup, the predecessor of the KC Cup, there is no reason why it should not be successful if everything goes well.

But the premise of this condition is that there are no accidents.

——Compared with the original work, this KC cup has changed a lot in details, is there really no problem at all?

Update, I'm back.

Chapter 212 002: Intruders

In an unknown alley in Gotham, the city where Haima Company's US headquarters is located, a silver-white hole was quietly opened, and then...

A scarlet motorcycle galloped out from there.

From the perspective of others, the shape of this motorcycle may be a bit strange. Its handles are not on the front of the bike, but on both sides of the rider. The backrest is high and curved in a half-moon shape. It is very avant-garde in design , avant-garde to the extent that this era may not exist at all.

"We're here, Judai-san."

After the red locomotive rushed out of the silver-white hole, it quickly turned off under the control of the rider. The rider took off his helmet, revealing a crab-like hairstyle, a golden tattoo under his left eye, a dark blue coat, shoulders There are orange-red discs like armor on the elbows, his eyes are as plain as water, and there are relatively few expressions on his face. It can be seen that he is a quite calm and rational character.

Compared with his companions, there is a big difference.

"Oh! This is Gotham, and it's a fantasy version from ten years ago, Lucky! I've wanted to come here for a long time, but unfortunately I never had the chance. I didn't expect that this time, my wish came true."

The motorcycle driven by the crab-haired young man can only seat one person, but behind him there is a jellyfish-headed young man in red. The young man in red jumped off the motorcycle and looked out of the alley. Seeing people weaving like a sea, busy traffic, and the iconic building of Haima Company in the distance, I couldn't help but look excited.

Then the jellyfish-headed youth lowered his head, took out a small notebook, turned to a certain page, stroked it with a ballpoint pen, and said happily, "Now, there is one less place to visit in my lifetime."

"Ten Dai, we didn't come here for tourism." The young man with crab head said helplessly, "Do you still remember why we chased here?"

"Yes, of course I remember, Yu Xing."

Judai's answer sounded rather perfunctory. After taking notes, he looked at the street a few more times, and then turned back to the young man with the crab head and said, "We are here to prevent Paradox from changing history." , However, it is also important to confirm the surrounding situation first—do you know when we crossed over?"

"……do not know."

You Xing choked on Judai's words.

He has a serious personality, even though he knows that Judai is changing the subject, he has nothing to say.

You Xing shook his head and said: "The red dragon just sent us here, but it didn't say when it was sent. The only thing that can be confirmed is that at the current time point, Paradox must have not yet realized his goal. Conspiracy, we still have hope of stopping Paradox."

"Well... I don't deny what you said."

Judai tilted his head to look at the sky, and said, "Then what do you think we should do next?"

"Next..."

You Xing pondered for a few seconds, took out the terminal in his arms, started it, and then found a photo from inside. In the photo, it was a dilapidated scene of a building ruin. Because the history of the world he was in before was destroyed, in order to avoid being involved Into the wave of destruction, they only had time to collect this photo and some related reports from the database of Manjomu Group: "You are right Judai, first you have to investigate the time of this era, and then go find this picture The location in the photo. According to reports, it seems to be the final of the first KC Cup..."

"Oh! KC Cup, I remember this!"

Judai's eyes lit up, and he said, "This is the most important game in professional leagues all over the world."

"Yes, it was the same in my time." You Xing nodded.

He also knows that in Yuxing's era, duel monsters have already developed into a mature and complete sports event and business system, not to mention the design and sales of cards. In professional competitions big and small, the popularity of professional duelists who are famous in professional competitions will not be much worse than the current so-called superstars.

The source of that prosperous situation lies in the joint efforts of International Fantasy Club and Haima Company, as well as the first KC Cup that attracted everyone's attention.

You Xing had read some history about dueling monsters.He understands that if there is no KC Cup, it will dispel people's doubts about dueling monsters in this era, and show an unparalleled huge gold-absorbing ability and broad market prospects. No matter what, it can't reach the height of the future. At most, it is regarded as a somatosensory game that is life-threatening to play. It is not impossible to disappear with the development of the times.

If you think about it this way, it's no wonder that Paradox would choose this time to do it.

The KC Cup gathers most of the well-known duelists of this era. The industry celebrities and two important figures related to the development of duel monsters, Kaiba Seto and Mr. Bekas will also be present. Once they make any mistakes, it will trigger a big earthquake in the entire society , the future of duel monsters can basically be said to be over.

——We must not let such a thing happen!

You Xing pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and made up his mind.

But this consciousness like a martyr was immediately dispelled by Judai: "By the way, it's rare to come to Gotham, Yu Xing, why don't we also sign up for the KC Cup competition."

"what?"

You Xing was taken aback, but before he could react, Judai continued: "Look, if the Red Dragon sent us here just in time for the first KC Cup, wouldn't we be able to participate in the KC Cup? Listen Upon hearing such news, as long as you are a qualified duelist, no one will be unhappy, right?"

"...Judai, I understand your feelings very well."

Seeing the young man in red in such high spirits, to be honest, Yu Xing didn't want to offend the latter, and he also liked Judai's lively and cheerful personality, which reminded him of a certain onion among the companions he knew. A little boy with green hair, but compared to Longya, Judai is obviously much more reliable... Well, it should be like this?

You Xing was a little worried, but he didn't show it, and continued:

"However, large-scale duel competitions like the KC Cup have selection events similar to qualifiers. Only the main match will be held at a pre-determined venue. Not to mention that we don't have so much free time to participate in the qualifiers. Now, the qualifiers are early It’s all over now. It’s impossible for us to participate in the main match of the KC Cup.”

"I don't have the word "impossible" in my dictionary, Yu Xing."

Judai grinned, he wiped the tip of his nose, and showed a somewhat mysterious smile: "Let me tell you, the first KC Cup is different from the later ones, it has a very special entry rule oh!"

Chapter 213 003: Alai's Experimental Notes

"I am back--"

As soon as Ranger entered the door, he heard a burst of exaggerated laughter that was as crisp as a barbell.

Vera was lying on the sofa, clutching her belly, her white and tender feet were writhing up and down, and laughed wildly: "Wow, this cat is too funny!!"

The Ranger glanced over.

On TV, a gray cat Tom is splitting trees with his crotch. This scene is really classic. Even if I haven’t watched “Tom and Jerry” for a long time, I can’t help but laugh out loud when I think of the happy times in the past. Voice.

Only then did the blue-haired Loli realize the existence of Ranger: "Oh! Ranger, you are back. Where are the things?"

"At this."

You Xia lifted his left hand, a white plastic bag was hanging between his fingers, he put the plastic bag on the coffee table, and then saw Loli picked up the remote control and pressed the pause button, excitedly opened the plastic bag, turned it out and put it inside Open the food boxes in turn, eyes full of light: "Wuhu! Burger meat, sweet and sour fish, radish pork rib soup, glutinous rice, the food this time is not bad. Wait, why did you bring back vegetables? Take it away !"

"No picky eaters!"

"cut."

Vera wanted to take out one of the dishes and put it aside in disgust. The ranger immediately glared at her. The latter curled his lips, then withdrew his hand resentfully, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "You know that I hate vegetables, why? I want to bring this kind of food back, if you don’t bring it back, won’t I be picky eaters?”

"Then you can go out to eat by yourself."

Loli's murmur was very low, but was caught by the sharp-eared ranger. He raised his eyebrows and said with an angry smile: "You figure out how long you've been cooped up in the house, at least go out and take a few steps."

"do not want!"

Vera refused categorically, and her tone sounded like there was no room for change: "It is impossible to go out, the only way to maintain life is to stay at home and watch TV and play games. If there is anything fun outside, it was fine before. Now It's hot, if you want me to go out, you want me to die!"

As for that exaggeration?

The Ranger rolled his eyes.

"Then I see that if you live like this, it won't be long before you should become a little fat man."

"You don't understand that!"

Vera shook her finger, with an expression of "Young man, you look like a Tucson": "Duel elves and humans have different structures, and the food we eat will be turned into pure energy, there will be no energy." The slightest waste, of course, we can also actively discharge excess energy according to our own will and needs, so unless it is a fool or external factors, the body shape of the elves will almost never change."

"That is to say, no matter how much I eat, I can't get fat!"

"Tsk."

You Xia clicked his tongue, feeling a little helpless towards this skinless loli for a while.

Why did things become like this?

This has to start from the beginning.

The battle with Doma was not long, and it took a lot of energy after all. Ranger would be too lazy to continue the road trip for a while, and there was nothing else to do for the time being, so he rented a Wumart in Gotham's Chinatown. A cheap house, ready to rest for a while, and then go back after playing enough.

But unexpectedly, after her life calmed down, Vera, who was exposed to TV and games in the human world, quickly evolved from an idler to a useless person. Live by the ranger.

This decadent speed really stunned the ranger.

I can't help but suspect that the reason why this loli wants to stay in this world is not to track down Alai's whereabouts, but because she is fascinated by the colorful world of human beings, right?

——Perhaps, Isinona's invitation came just in time, this girl is too free these days, I need to find something for her to do...

"Ok?"

At this time, You Xia finally noticed another thing on the coffee table, which was a thick paper bag with a golden ratio of length and width: "That's..."

"It's the magic book and some notes sent by Heine."

Vera picked up the food, said while chewing: "When Heine and the others returned to the elf world, I asked them to find some materials from my magic workshop. Fortunately, those materials were not destroyed or destroyed by the defeat of the coalition forces. It was taken away by Alai, of course, it may also be because he couldn't unlock the magic lock I set up."

"Information..."

Looking at the paper bag, Ranger became a little interested. After consulting Vera's opinion, he took scissors and opened the paper bag to reveal the sealed contents inside.

As Lori said, inside the paper bag were a few books with thick leather covers, probably the magic book that Vera said, with a line of bronzing text written on the cover, neat and elegant, and this is not any kind of book that Ranger knows. The writing system, but probably because of the contract relationship established with Vera, Ranger unexpectedly found that he could understand it.

""Alchemy: From Beginning to Burying", "Simple Application of Alchemy", "Learning Alchemy from Practice", "Natural Philosophy of Alchemy"..."

"The first three books are for beginners, and the latter one is what I want to read myself." Hearing the title of the book reported by Ranger, Vera explained from the side.

"beginner?"

Ranger raised his eyebrows, and moved the books on top, revealing the books below. Those books were only half the thickness of the other books, and there was only a magic circle drawn on the cover: "Then What about these?"

"These……"

With some rice grains on the corner of her mouth, Vera glanced at the book, her expression became a little complicated for a moment, and she said softly, "That's Alai's notes."

"Alai's notes?"

"Well. Real magicians, alchemists, and scientists will keep records of their own research and experiments, and Alai is no exception. These were discovered when he was packing up his workshop after sealing Alai. .I remember there should be something you need in it."

Need something?

The ranger was thoughtful, and opened the notebook.

As Vera said, most of the notebooks are Alai's research records, those data rangers can't understand, but just reading the summary between the lines, the ranger understands why Vera and Alai fell out in the first place.

That didn't happen overnight, but a break caused by many factors.

"Human experiments."
