Chapter 1: Parallel World of Duel Supremacy

Chapter 1: Parallel World of Duel Supremacy

The unfamiliar ceiling and the smell of disinfectant in the air.

"I'm in...a hospital?"

Xia Qing made a judgment based on the current environment.

The scene in my memory still remains at the moment when I was hit by the truck.

At the time, he was playing cards at a board game store on the corner.

The opponent took five minutes to make a perfect ending.

Xia Qing had just revealed the Pterosaur·Sphere Form and was about to generously give this divine monster to the other party when he was ganked by a dump truck that suddenly broke in.

Broken glass mixed with cards flying in the air was the last image frozen in Xia Qing's mind.

Xia Qing was suddenly shocked, and then he checked his physical condition belatedly.

Checking from the head to the legs, Xia Qing was horrified to find that his legs could not move.

It was not until he lifted the quilt that he realized it was just a false alarm.

It turned out that the leg couldn't be stretched out because of the plaster fixation.

Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was still lying on the hospital bed, he was hit hard by a fully loaded dump truck.

The final result was just a leg injury, which can be called a miracle of luck.

Just as Xia Qing was rejoicing at surviving the car accident, two familiar voices suddenly came from outside the door.

Woman: "Have you thought about how to tell your son?"

Man: "What else can I say? Tell the truth."

Xia Qing held her breath and listened quietly to the voices of her parents outside.

"The doctor said that although Xiaoqing has recovered physically, he still cannot be stimulated mentally. What if he becomes depressed again?"

"It's all your fault that you spoiled him so much that he can't accept any setbacks."

"Blame me? Then who forced my son to take the entrance exam to a key university, otherwise he would have to pay for his tuition?"

"I was just saying it casually, who knew he took it seriously and chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building." The man sighed.

But then he changed his tone and said in a deep voice: "But this duel concerns Xiaoqing's future. I also had to use my connections to get this opportunity. There are so many people waiting behind me."

The overly straightforward remarks made the woman quickly remind him: "Keep your voice down and don't talk nonsense outside."

Xia Qing felt a little dizzy and everything was a mess.

Didn't I graduate from high school a long time ago? I've been in college for more than a year.

He jumped off a building because he was upset because he didn't get into a key middle school? Would he do such a stupid thing?

And playing cards can affect your future?

Xia Qing is just an entertainment player, not a world champion. Surrendering is as common to him as drinking water.

With a skilled four-speed surrender, no one could reduce Xia Qing's health to zero before he announced his surrender.

But it was indeed the voices of my parents outside.

Are my parents filming some kind of prank video? Are they so trendy, or is there someone behind the scenes directing them?
Xia Qing looked around the ward, trying to find the hidden camera.

There are three beds in the ward, and the other two are empty.

As for furniture, apart from a few bedside tables, there was only a TV mounted on the wall.

The layout of the room can be seen at a glance, leaving no room for hiding anything.

When the parents pushed the door open, they saw Xia Qing just waking up.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xia's father's face, and he obviously realized that the conversation just now outside the door might have been heard by his son.

"Son, you're awake," Mother Xia said with a face full of joy, showing the food bag she was carrying, "Your dad just went to the pedestrian street and bought you a three-fresh bun."

Father Xia simply said, "Eat it while it's still hot."

Xia Qing knew that his father was not good at expressing himself.

The steamed bun shop on the pedestrian street is very popular. If you don’t get up early and queue up, you won’t be able to buy any.

Xia Qing felt a little uncomfortable being stared at while eating, even if it was her own parents.

"Mom, turn on the TV."

"Okay, I'll look for the remote."

"What's that look? The remote is on the TV."

"See you don't go get it? You just talk."

Listening to her parents' daily bickering, Xia Qing felt a warm feeling in her heart.

After the college entrance examination, his parents announced their divorce to him.

It's a rare opportunity for us to get together, so it seems that this injury is not a bad thing.

On TV, before the picture appeared, the heart-stopping lines from the melodramatic drama had already reached Xia Qing's ears.

"This Emerald Dragon card is worth 100 million, which is enough for you to spend the rest of your life in peace. As long as you are willing to leave my son, this card will be yours."

"You are insulting me. I am with Haochen not because of his money or his status as a top duelist. Even if he loses everything, I will not leave him."

Tear - a 2400-star precious card with an attack power of 6 was broken into two halves in the hands of the naive heroine.

Father Xia frowned and said, "Change the channel. Don't watch this nonsense all day long."

"Here's the remote control. You can adjust it yourself."

Channel switching.

"During Dongxue's turn, she discarded her Sword Master, Chunjun, and Special Summoned Sword Master, Longyuan."

"6+4, is it coming? Dongxue's trump card monster - Xiangjian Daixie Qixing Longyuan."

Looking at the CCTV5 logo, the steamed bun in Xia Qing's mouth suddenly lost its taste.

Something seems wrong.

The games on TV are too formal.

The host spoke fluently, and the venue in the background should be the Bird's Nest.

Even if he wanted to play a prank on himself, the cost would be too high.

He is not a host with millions of fans. Even if the prank on him is successful, there will not be much traffic.

"Mom, where's my cell phone?"

"In my bag, there is also your deck."

Mother Xia carefully took out Xia Qing's things one by one from her handbag.

Mobile phone, wallet, card set.

Looking at the unfamiliar deck of cards, Xia Qing inexplicably felt a familiar feeling deep in his heart.

It seems like a partner who has fought alongside him countless times.

Xia Qing is now almost 99% certain that she has traveled through time, and all she lacks is the final piece of conclusive evidence.

Unlock your phone with your fingerprint.

What comes into view are a series of APPs that seem to be real but are not.

Taoka, Kaduoduo, Duel Power...

Xia Qing randomly opened an information app and saw the interface that did not look fake at all, and he felt dizzy.

No wonder he always felt a little strange that he was hit by a truck but was still safe and sound.

Good guy.

It turned out that he was really sent to a parallel world by express delivery just like countless other time travelers before him.

Xia Qing looked at her parents who looked a few years younger and bit into the three-fresh steamed bun mechanically, her mind going blank for a moment.

At this moment, Xia's father suddenly sighed.

"Alas, the Chinese team lost again."

Xia Qing looked up and happened to see the two commentators on TV looking discouraged.

It seems that the result of the game is not ideal.

"Son, stay here for a while. Your father and I will go to handle the discharge procedures."

Mother Xia didn't know much about duels, so when she saw the TV game was over, she pulled Father Xia out the door.

"Okay." Xia Qing nodded obediently.

On TV, the contestant named Dongxue stood on the duel stage, with tears glistening in her eyes.

Even though Xia Qing felt that this scene was full of incongruity, he still felt touched.

Different from Xia Qing’s original world.

On Blue Star, card battles are not just a game, but also a part of national strength.

Card monsters originated in Egypt, and for thousands of years after the fall of the ancient Egyptian dynasty, they were buried in the sands of history.

It was not until the Renaissance that European scholars rediscovered it.

People discovered that these small cards actually contained magical and powerful powers.

In front of card monsters, swords and armor become a joke, and cannons and castles are also eliminated.

A powerful duelist, a deck is an army.

After promoting wars and changes in the Western world, card monsters were introduced to the Kingdom of Sakura along with the Age of Discovery, and arrived in China in the 19th century.

This period of history is almost a replica of Xia Qing's previous life.

As the last country in the world to come into contact with card monsters, China's duel strength currently ranks last among the major countries, only stronger than its neighboring country, India.

Although war is no longer the main theme of the world today, dueling is more of a national sport and is still a reflection of a country's national strength.

In his previous life, Xia Qing loved dueling, but his family thought he was not doing his job properly and almost threw away his deck.

But in this world, I might have a chance to show my talents.

When it comes to dueling, Xia Qing believes that with his advanced knowledge, he is no worse than the people in this world.

"I am the man who will become the Duel King."

At least that's what Xia Qing thought until he saw the original owner's deck.
