Chapter 230 The Best Duel
Link system, offline.
I returned to reality and took down the device to see that it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. A weekend always goes by very quickly.
Especially when you spend the whole day online grinding dungeons and collecting equipment, the time goes by even faster.
Fortunately, hard work is rewarding. I picked up a lot of ownerless decks and even a top-ranked deck. This trip was quite rewarding. I will take inventory in the next few days and sell what should be sold and keep the useful ones for thinking about new builds.
But I didn’t feel it when I was working, but when I came back and rested for a while, I suddenly felt a little hungry.
If it was the Red Dormitory, the cafeteria would have been closed at this time, and the canteen would have also closed. But the considerate Yellow Dormitory took into account the students' needs for midnight snacks and set up a window that was open 24 hours a day.
So You Xuan took out the student-only terminal, found the cafeteria interface, opened it and took a look.
Curry fried rice, curry beef noodles, curry mashed potatoes
Then close it silently.
He suddenly didn't want to eat anymore.
Huang Dormitory is good in every way, except that the curry is a bit too strong due to the influence of the dormitory head Huashan. To be honest, the dormitory head is really good at curry cooking, but nothing can stand up to eating it every day.
Others may not know, but You Xuan doesn’t really want to eat curry recently.
Normally, the cafeteria has a wide variety of dishes, with everything except curry. But in the middle of the night, most of the windows were closed, and there seemed to be no choice.
It was a bad idea. I should have kept some snacks in the dormitory.
Just as You Xuan was considering whether to just rest early and go to bed today, he caught a glimpse of an unread message icon above the terminal.
I opened it and saw that it was sent by the tenth generation an hour ago.
"We're having a barbecue outdoors. It smells so good. Do you want to come?"
There was also a hand-painted Q version of the big-headed Tendai himself behind him, making a V-sign at him.
Although the painting is abstract, it has to be said that it is a soulful painting. Through this abstract sketch, it really seems as if I can see the jellyfish head smiling brightly and making a V sign with its hand.
You Xuan smiled and asked back, "Are you still there?"
Judai quickly replied.
"Must be here, come quickly."
So You Xuan stood up and headed towards the location marked by the Tenth Generation outside the Red Dormitory.
The night is falling, the sky is dotted with stars, and the moonlight shines through the gaps in the treetops onto the winding path, like a silver ribbon.
As we approached the area, before we saw anyone, we heard sounds of people playing and laughing, as well as a rich, rich aroma of barbecue.
"Oh, You Xuan is here!"
Judai was the first to notice him. He stood up happily and handed him the barbecue that was flipped over the fire.
"It's reserved just for you."
"Thank you. I was just hungry and wondering what to eat." You Xuan took the toasting fork without hesitation.
So You Xuan sat down by the fire and joined the others.
As expected, the early stage of GX was a relaxed campus style. The current tenth generation looks so carefree, and every day is basically a repeat of the happy campus life of skipping classes, playing cards, fishing, picnics and adventures.
The audiences who watched GX when it first aired certainly couldn't have imagined that the style would suddenly change to that later.
"Wow there's a rabbit!"
Marufuji Sho exclaimed.
"Huh?" Hayato looked in the direction he pointed, "No, you must be seeing things."
"Absolutely not! It's absolutely true. I guarantee with my moral integrity that there is definitely one!"
You Xuan ate the barbecue silently, thinking that your moral integrity is not worth much, after all, it is "shit".
"Look! It's right there!" Marufuji Sho rolled up his sleeves, "Don't run!"
Then I dragged Hayato-kun to catch rabbits.
"You two, don't run too far or you'll get lost." Judai shouted in that direction.
Xiang's vague response came back from the forest. "Really, there's nothing we can do about them."
Judai smiled and continued to flip the spit in his hand. The meat sizzled on the fire, and the fat dripped onto the charcoal, stirring up puffs of smoke. The air was filled with the aroma of barbecue and burning wood.
"Yeah, but it's great that you can come." Judai said with a smile while grilling meat, "To be honest, I was a little disappointed that you didn't reply to my message for such a long time just now."
"Isn't your roommate here?"
You Xuan took a bite of the barbecue and found that Shidai had a good control of the heat. The meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a great taste. He must have had many picnics in the past.
"Yes, it is. But how should I put it?"
Judai stared at the flickering flames in front of him, somewhat dazed.
"Remember? The time we accidentally went to the fairy world together. The man named Sher said that I was very similar to him, and that I had never let anyone really understand me."
"Oh, don't take it to heart."
But Judai shook his head: "I can't help but think about him. And the more I think about it, the more I feel that maybe it's true."
He paused, as if lost in memory.
"Have I ever told you that? I have very vague memories of some things from my childhood. Sometimes I always feel as if there is something very important that I should remember. Occasionally, I will wake up from a dream, but after waking up, no matter how hard I try, I can't remember what it is."
You Xuan said nothing.
Of course he knew what was going on. It was Yubel, Judai's first Pokémon. Ever since Yubel was launched into space by Kaiba Corporation, Judai had been having terrible nightmares.
Later, his parents were worried about him, so they used the technology of Kaiba Corporation to delete his related memories and cut off his connection with Yubel. After that, he completely forgot about it.
"Of course I know, it's normal not to remember things from childhood." Judai smiled, "It's just that... now that I think about it, there was a period of time when I was really lonely.
My parents were very busy and were usually not at home. And for some reason, I had few friends when I was a child. It seemed like everyone was avoiding me.
I always feel that I am different from everyone else. No matter how hard I try or how passionate I am, it is hard to find friends who can truly understand me and with whom I can confide. ”
This was the first time You Xuan had heard of this, but he could roughly guess why.
It was still Yubel's fault. When playing cards with the young Tendai, anyone who lost was framed by Sister Yu. The children and parents around him must have heard about it, and everyone who saw him would avoid him.
"We moved away later, and things got a little better as I grew older. I always had a lot of friends and enthusiastic classmates around me. But now that I think about it, maybe it's just like what Shell said, in the end I still don't have anyone I can call a 'friend'.
Maybe it has always been like this and has never changed, I just slowly got used to it."
Judai stopped what he was doing and smiled.
"But it's incredible. It's the first time I've had this thought since I came back from the spirit world and communicated with you, You Xuan, and especially the duel with you.
Is this what a 'friend' is? "
You Xuan: “.”
"I heard from Xiang's brother, Caesar," Judai said, "This week, the duel to decide the representative for this year's match against the Northern Branch will begin.
Caesar said he would nominate me. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be a fight between the two of us. "
He paused and looked at You Xuan seriously.
"So, please give it your all when the time comes. I also want to see you, You Xuan, giving it your all."
You Xuanqing closed his eyes and smiled slightly.
"I understand."
He waved the fork in his hand.
"Then consider it as a reward for the barbecue you treated me to."
Judai smiled happily and nodded vigorously.
"Then let's have the greatest duel ever!"
