Chapter 1: The Sun in the World of GX

You Xuan slowly opened his eyes and looked around blankly at the unfamiliar environment.

The room I had never seen before was strangely familiar. The sunlight shone through the window lattice onto the soft floor, twinkling like stardust. Even the air became light and transparent under the warm sunlight.

His head felt a little dizzy and painful, and some strange images and unfamiliar fragments flashed through his mind. Some instinct seemed to tell him in his heart that he was facing an extraordinary situation at this moment -

——He crossed over.

You Xuan looked around the surroundings and his eyes were quickly drawn to the computer on the desk.

The computer was on, displaying a web page from a search engine, but it was not any of the search engines he was familiar with.

The big words on the search box clearly read, "Haima Search".

What made him feel even more curious was the hot news below the search box.

"The research team of Toudou University has discovered a new form of 'Devil's Summoning'. The Devil deck may be greatly enhanced!"

You Xuan: “?”

Out of curiosity, he clicked on it and took a look. The report said that the research team had developed new potential for the well-known demon monster "Devil's Summon" through day and night research, and had published a paper in an internationally authoritative top duel monster publication.

A spokesperson for the team said they have spoken with International Fantasy CEO Becca J. Krofer, and that International Fantasy is assisting them with the development of new cards.
If he can't even recognize what world he has traveled to, then You Xuan has been playing cards for nothing for so many years.

This is the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, a plane where it is well known that cards are respected and the foundation and laws of the entire world are built on playing cards.

There is something even more outrageous below the hot search.

"International conflicts in the Middle East have eased, and the two leaders have decided to reach a negotiation through a duel"

You Xuan: “.”

After reading the title, he seemed to have a picture in his mind. Two armies confronted each other on a battlefield filled with gunpowder, both sides were armed with live ammunition, and their long guns and short cannons were pointed at each other.

At this time, the generals of both armies walked out of their positions, showed their duel disks and decks, and decided to use a tense and exciting game of Yu-Gi-Oh to resolve the territorial dispute.
It's too fucking raw.

But that’s just the way this world works.

Dueling monsters is the only way to achieve transcendence in this world and master the power to transcend time and space and rewrite the laws of reality.

The brain gradually got rid of the drowsy state, and the new memories seemed to be slowly absorbed. You Xuan quickly sorted out his identity in this world.

Yugen Fujiki, male, current status is... Duel Gym apprentice?

Although it is a gym, it actually feels like a social card-playing training class. Unlike those formal duel academies, the duel gym is a social training institution that you can join as long as you pay the fee to register.

In the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, playing cards is not a waste of time. On the contrary, if you can really learn to play cards well, your future will be bright.

Duel Monsters cards have been developed so far that almost every industry is closely related to playing cards. Nowadays, even companies that start businesses need to have a company-specific Duel Agent to help the company deal with all business matters that require playing cards. It is even said that Tomino City, which is known as the "Duel Capital", has now reached the point where you will not be allowed to settle down if you do not register your card deck under the operation of Kaiba Corporation.
But this does not mean that this path is easy. Although You Xuan's predecessor worked part-time to earn tuition while studying in the gym, striving to move towards the path of a true duelist, both he and the people around him knew that his hope was slim.

Because he's bad.

It is true that duelists have a promising future, but at the same time, this industry is too competitive. This world is different from the previous life. Duelists are generally recognized to be a profession that requires a lot of talent, and not everyone has the potential to become a master.

Putting everything else aside, if a person can't even draw the card he wants, what's the point of being a duelist?
You Xuan thought about it and felt that the development path that his predecessor had insisted on despite such hardships was correct.

In this world, whether you want to seek transcendence or make a career in the city, dueling monsters is the preferred way.

Since he wanted to take this path, his biggest reliance was the accumulation of many years as a hardcore card player in his previous life. Thinking of this, You Xuan immediately sat in front of the computer and started to check.

First of all, you must determine which era and background you have traveled to. There are many episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh, and the later the animation is, the closer it is to the real card environment. Therefore, the advantage of being a time traveler is smaller in the later environment.

After a simple search, he quickly got the information he needed.

This is the most classic basic dimension, where dreams begin, and the world where the stories of "Yu-Gi-Oh! DM" and "Yu-Gi-Oh! GX" are set.

The current time point should be after the DM is finished and before the GX begins or in the early stage of the story. In this way, Youxuan has a general idea of ​​the current duel card environment.

Now let’s take a look at the predecessor deck.

You Xuan: (─??─)
This isn't the deck, are you serious?
When you spread it out, you'll see a bloated deck of sixty cards. No, this thing can't even be called a deck, it's just a pile of cards.

First of all, there are a lot of ordinary monsters with no effect on the monster side - the card guys generally like to describe this kind of thing with a word that President Kaiba often says, mortal bones.

The entire build is like a mess, with almost no interaction between any two cards. The six cards you randomly pick up at the beginning all play their own cards, and You Xuan doubts whether these things can have any combat effectiveness when put together.

But upon further inspection, he seemed to have grasped the deck-building ideas of his predecessor.

It's useless, mainly because it's expensive
It felt like the two episodes in the GX anime where the two rich brothers of Manjome appeared. The two rich guys had a lot of money but were completely lousy at playing cards, but they believed in the theory that money is supreme and firmly believed that expensive things are the best.

So they spent a lot of money and bought a dozen of the most expensive rare cards to form a krypton gold deck to challenge Manjome. However, in the end, they were defeated by the temporary deck constructed by Manjome using waste cards he picked up from the dry well behind the school.
Obviously, his predecessor had the same problem as the two rich people in the animation. Many of the cards in the deck may have been obtained by him working hard. After seeing the outrageous market price, You Xuan even felt that he had reason to suspect that the reason he traveled through time was because his predecessor died suddenly due to over-working.
However, looking at these cards in his hand, which were nominally super rare but had unclear meanings to him, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his predecessor.

In the world of playing cards, many powerful cards are indeed very expensive, but expensive cards are not necessarily good. Many cards in this world are expensive simply because they are "rare". For example, some cards are made of archaeological artifacts, and some are made of diamond ring gems.

There are even some monsters that are simply summoned and look very good and are widely sought after, but the production is not high, so the price is expensive - especially some female Bodhisattva-type elves that are generous but cool and leaky.
So after turning over the entire deck, You Xuan estimated that only a few expensive traps seemed to be somewhat useful.

It looks like the initial deck will have to be redone from scratch.

You Xuan thought about it and used the Internet again to look up the game videos of today's mainstream professional duelists, and gained a general understanding of the environment and thinking of today's mainstream duelists.

As expected, just as the animation shows, the general thinking of duelists in this era is still to pursue the crushing of power, and strive to create their own high-attack and handsome ace monsters to gain dominance on the scene.

After watching several game videos, You Xuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

What a simple world
In short, it seems that most of the current duelists have a common problem -

——The sun is shining.

The total index of the underworld in the world today is eight dou. The former duel king Muto Yugi alone occupies one stone, and the people of the world owe him two dou.

Now that Yugi Muto is banned from playing, all duelists in the world take the legendary duelist Seto Kaiba, who always advocates "shattering with honor" and pursues power suppression, as their role model. The whole environment is suddenly filled with a sunny atmosphere.

So Youxuan’s construction idea was decided.

He wants to bring a little underworld fun to this world of cards.

　I'm back, and this time the background starts from GX.

　　Please collect and recommend my new book, and especially read it!
