Chapter 35: Rage AI
Seahorse Park, White Dragon Festival site.

The sun shines through the colorful amusement facilities onto the ground, creating patches of light and shadow. The huge park is packed with people, filled with a festive atmosphere.

Here, you can see the Blue-Eyes White Dragon swooping down along the exciting roller coaster rails, the flying chair-shaped Blue-Eyes White Dragon spinning along the facilities, and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon lying quietly on the Ferris wheel like a guardian.
In short, it is everywhere.

You Xuan once again realized how powerful the legendary Kaiba President was, and he even gave Bai Jia a special festival called "White Dragon Festival". This festival was even listed as a legal holiday. On this day, according to custom, everyone had to go to Kaiba Park to have fun.
The Duel Gym also held an event in the festive atmosphere, and the students went to the city's Kaiba Paradise for team building. The legendary excavation team buddy of Master Takeuchi also showed up.

"Shadow Stream!"

"Kazuya!"

The two of them came up and gave each other a bear hug.

"You miss me so much!" The man hit the owner's back hard.

You Xuan looked at the person coming down.

A fancy plaid shirt, a smooth forehead without a single hair, a somewhat weathered face, and dark glasses.
He doesn't look like a card player, but rather like the evolved form of a programmer who has worked for most of his life.

His eyes are almost narrowed into slits and his forehead is bald, combining the two legendary attributes of "squinty eyes" and "bald" into one. If he were in any other film set, he might be a BOSS-level ruthless character, but unfortunately he can't be changed.

First of all, if you don’t have a fancy hairstyle, you’ve already lost half the battle.

"Why haven't you come for so long?" Mr. Takeuchi complained, "I thought you forgot about your old friend."

"Oh, I'm busy with work. By the way, I'm telling you, I found another really good resource this time, both the projection version and the VR version! The heroine is not only big, but also..."

"Stop! Stop!" The owner of the museum winked hurriedly, "The students are all here today."

The man finally understood: "Oh, OK. Let's talk about it in private."

Students: “.”

No, we are more interested in the topics that you usually talk about in private, Master.

"Let me introduce you. This is Saito Kazuya. He was also a duelist in our gym back in the day, so we can be considered half-fellow disciples," said Gym Master Takeuchi.

The man named Saito nodded slightly: "That's right. My predecessor once told me that I have a natural talent for dueling. I only need to work a little harder to become better than Takeuchi."

Master Takeuchi glared and said, "I have never heard of this. If this is true, why would the master expel you from the gym?"

"Haha, you don't know this, Senior Brother." Saito said cheerfully, "Teacher liked me very much at that time, but unfortunately his daughter liked me more. Later, Teacher found out and was furious."

Master Takeuchi was shocked: "There is such a thing? Why have you never mentioned it before?"

"Young people don't know much, why bring up old things?"

Saito Kazuya waved his hands and acted as if he was reminiscing about the past.

Students: “.”

"Ahem, let's talk about the ruins."

Master Takeuchi interrupted him immediately. He had a feeling that if he let him continue, there would be more inappropriate content, which would not be good for the physical and mental health of the gym students and their future in duels.

"Oh, the ruins, of course." Saito smiled, "This time the ruins are quite interesting."

Just as he said this, there was a sudden "click" and all the lights in the dragon duel arena where everyone was suddenly turned off.

Immediately following, there was a series of "boom" sounds as the shutters were lowered. All the doors were sealed within a second, and the windows were also closed. All the light sources disappeared, and the duel venue where everyone was located fell into darkness.

The people in the museum were suddenly in an uproar.

"what's the situation?"

"system error?"

"RNM refunds the money!"

"."

Saito Kazuya looked around and muttered, "Strange, this shouldn't happen. Even if there was an unexpected power outage, the duel venues in the park are equipped with backup engines. What's going on?"

Although You Xuan didn't say anything, this development only made him smell a familiar scent.

Why do I feel like something similar happened in the anime?
That was when Seahorse Paradise was just built in DM, and the system was blocked by the hacked duel arena. Then the plot quickly developed to the point where you had to play cards with the AI ​​in the venue, and no one was allowed to leave unless you beat them.

The mastermind behind the original story was Chiku Lloyd, Seto Kaiba's business rival. But he should have been taken down by Kaiba eight years ago.

Is it really a system failure?

Soon, light appeared in the darkness. The only light source was concentrated in the center of the venue. An extremely arrogant figure stood under the light circle with his arms folded. He had brown hair, blue eyes, and a white windbreaker. Then he raised his head and laughed his signature laugh: "Hahaha——"

"That's Seto Kaiba!" the crowd exclaimed immediately.

"What's going on? Why is Seto Kaiba himself here?"

“Is this some kind of surprise project?”

Saito Kazuya immediately noticed something was wrong: "Wait, that's not Kaiba Seto, that's the latest duel AI in this venue!"

Everyone: "!"

"The AI ​​of the most famous duelists from various fields has been input into Kaiba's duel program, which can perfectly reproduce each of their tactics, ideas and even personalities.

Combined with the virtual imaging technology that is now so realistic that it can be mistaken for real, it can provide tourists with the real experience of dueling with the world's top masters!" Saito said.

It's no secret that Kaiba's president is obsessed with AI. Ever since Wang Yang went to the underworld, the president has been obsessed with AI and has been madly working on scientific research to upgrade AI. If someone could check his research and development files, they would probably find thousands of different versions of Wang Yang AI in them.

At the beginning of "Pyramid of Light", Kaiba duels with AI King and even loses. After losing, he is furious and looks for a way to defeat the enemy. In "Dark Side of Dimension", Kaiba duels with AI King and wins again. However, after winning, he is furious and says that the illusion of winning is meaningless.
Master Takeuchi: "Now then"

"Someone hacked into the system of this venue and set the AI ​​to look like Kaiba Seto." Saito said solemnly, "I'm afraid the venue system has been connected to the AI.

Strange, I heard that there shouldn't be this level of AI in amusement facilities. Legendary duelists like Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba are usually tested internally by their companies and are the most advanced duel AIs available today. Normally, they shouldn't be open to the public."

Sure enough, the AI ​​Kaiba laughed a series of three laughs, and then unfolded the duel disk: "If you want to get out of here, you must beat the deck in my hand first!"

You Xuan was not surprised at all.

See, we really want to play cards.

There was a sudden commotion among the people trapped in the venue.

"Nani? To defeat that Kaiba Seto? How is that possible?"

"But this is just an AI. Apart from anything else, it can't possibly have a Blue-Eyes White Dragon."

"You don't know this? It's a duel AI, and the decks it uses are pure data. It has input the data of various powerful duelists, so it has all kinds of cards!"

"What? Doesn't that mean even the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon... What the hell is going on here?"

There was chaos.

The people in the venue at this moment were just amateur tourists. In their eyes, this AI not only copied Kaiba Seto's entire personality and tactical thinking, but also had the complete data of a full set of card decks, which was almost infinitely close to the original.

He was a man standing at the top of today's duelists, holding a deck that was universally recognized as the strongest in the dueling world. How could he possibly win?
If this person can win, it must be Yugi Muto, right?

You Xuan was quite calm.

In fact, it's just a short time to close the door, which doesn't have much impact on tourists like them. The Seahorse Group must be trying to fix the problem, and it shouldn't take long to unlock it. If it doesn't work, physically breaking the door is also a solution. For tourists like them, it's nothing more than a loss of time, and maybe they can even get compensation from the Seahorse Group.

However, it was a vicious incident for the Haima Group. All competitors would undoubtedly write about it. No one would let go of such a rare opportunity.

But that is something that Kaiba needs to consider.

Master Takeuchi came close to Youxuan and asked quietly, "This is a chance to fight against the legendary Kaiba Seto's deck. Do you want to try it?"

You Xuan shrugged, not thinking there was anything special about it.

Even if it copied the personality and the deck, it is still an AI after all. Can it copy the magic draw?
But then Saito Kazuya whispered a reminder: "Based on my understanding of Kaiba Seto, if someone defeats this AI before the invasion is cracked and unlocks the system to recover the group's losses, he might give out a lot of money or a lot of rare cards."

"You don't have to say it."

You Xuan waved his hand and walked towards the duel arena, leaving everyone with a dashing back.

Money and cards are just external things and don't matter.

But as a duelist, he couldn't miss the opportunity to challenge the legend.

Whoever tries to steal his money will be angry.

"bring it on."

You Xuan stood opposite the three-dimensionally projected AI seahorse.

"I will be your opponent."

　Today's three updates are 7,000 words, and tomorrow there will be a card~
