Chapter 199: S-Dimension Card Buying!

At the final attack moment, the battle screen vanished instantly, and countless people burst into curses; even among the duelists at Kaiba Corporation's base, many erupted in angry shouts.

At this very moment, they didn't care at all about who suddenly took over the broadcast or what had happened—they cared about only one thing: who won!

Although from the final performance, it was clear that Seto Kaiba's three Blue-Eyes White Dragons would have won once their attacks landed—even if the King of the Dark Wolves lowered the final Blue-Eyes' attack power, Jack's life points couldn't have held out—since the final scene hadn't been shown, many began arguing right then.

"Jack… lost!?"

"Impossible, he hasn't lost yet—how could Jack lose!"

"But King's field has no cards left to block—"

"He still has cards in hand—maybe he has a Red Lotus defense card! He's got one!"

Whether such a card exists aside, Tiancheng Guang knew the instant he saw the screen change: Jack had definitely lost.

Crashing, losing control—common occurrences.

As he'd expected, because he was hit by three Blue-Eyes White Dragons, Jack panicked and lost control of his vehicle, flipping it halfway through the ride.

But he was a battle-hardened Ride Duelist; his injuries were minor, and he quickly righted his vehicle, following Seto Kaiba back to base in tandem.

And just then.

After Seto Kaiba casually tossed what he held to a subordinate, as Wan Wan Zhangmu stepped forward to offer congratulations, the numerous monitors within the base area finally flickered through static snow—and revealed a new scene.

A middle-aged man, refined and gentle in appearance, appeared on screen. He first apologized to all viewers for such a major incident occurring during the final exhibition match, then explained why it happened: just moments ago, an internal uprising erupted within the city's administration, and as head of the Public Security Bureau, he had no choice but to intervene personally, leaving this event poorly managed.

However, the host and camera operators accompanying the Ride Duel had recorded the entire match, so the duel's outcome would not be lost.

After the Lucky Cup in this world is held, it will be compiled into discs or similar formats after the new King is crowned.

"They're always protecting that King's face," someone muttered.

This is clearly because they feared damage to the King's dignity, so they sealed it away. If a new King emerges in the next tournament, they'll release the video; if not, they'll just keep storing it.

"But being able to force Master's Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon out—and even make Master discard all other cards—Jack Atlas is truly formidable," Wan Wan Zhangmu thought, recalling Jack Atlas's cards.

Crimson Dragon, Red Lotus Dragon, Stardust Dragon, and the King of the Dark Wolves—each card's strength was genuinely high!

To be honest, if he had faced that situation himself, he would have felt immense pressure.

Hard to handle. The opponent was incredibly, incredibly strong. The title "King" was no empty boast.

On the other side, Tiancheng Guang said nothing.

Was Jack strong?

Of course he was. In the original story, this man held an undefeated "standing victory" record—he never lost while still standing, proving his dueling ability was real.

But on the other hand…

He hadn't forgotten: Seto Kaiba had revealed the Abyssal Blue-Eyes Dragon and Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon… even though he didn't use them, Tiancheng Guang understood the implications behind those two cards perfectly.

This meant Seto Kaiba's deck absolutely contained a vast number of brand-new super cards.

The rumors circulating in their world—that "Kaiba's CEO is too busy exploring other dimensions to update his deck"—were completely false!

This hasn't even been updated yet?

Probably, wherever Seto Kaiba explored in the other dimension, he went there to search for cards related to Blue-Eyes.

After all, Judai, this hero enthusiast, did the same thing.

"Hmph, looks like this guy took advantage of this moment to do a lot of things in his own world," Gloria Taylor crossed her arms, listening to Godwin's words and sneering twice, seemingly displeased.

Clearly, it was a coup!

In fact, after discovering the S-Dimension, the Fusion Department had tried to establish contact with this world.

After all, the simplest method of invasion is through collaborators.

Although their world possessed vast energy resources, they had few ways to apply them, so they were deeply curious about the "Dimension Gate" system. Among the elders, while some respected, disinterested elders refused contact with the Fusion Army, there were always some who sought greater power—or simply wished to extend their lifespans.

These people were the Fusion Army's carefully placed pawns.

Unfortunately…

Although no report had been received, Gloria Taylor could guess: Godwin had undoubtedly used this opportunity to ruthlessly purge his rivals!

The Dimension Exchange attracted too much attention—he chose this moment to stir up trouble, effortlessly and enjoyably!

But they also admitted: Godwin's decisiveness was absolutely correct for anyone aiming to "do something big."

Just like the leader of the Fusion Army, Professor Ma Professor Chi Ma Ling Wang.

Although the Professor wanted to expand the banner of fusion, because of Seto Kaiba's existence, he dared not act openly, so he could only lie low and wait for an opportunity.

If their world had such a golden opportunity, she believed the Professor would never let it slip away.

Yet, even she hadn't realized—Godwin didn't even bother with "purging rivals."

Erase them all!

Good or bad—it was all the same to him!

After that came exchanges between the two dimensions—card trading, and so on. Tiancheng Guang had no interest in "politics."

But card exchanges? That was the one thing Tiancheng Guang cared about most!

It was simple…

Because now, he could buy cards!

Take this chance to buy cards aggressively in this dimension!

Earlier, Kaiba Corporation had already said: this Friendship Cup was the first contact and exchange with the S-Dimension. During these fifteen days of regular duels, they had also engaged in negotiations of varying degrees with the Public Security Bureau.

To be honest, this was the most valuable thing for the competing duelists—to exchange or purchase cards with Public Security Bureau personnel here.

"Money," of course, was paid by Kaiba Corporation. Kaiba Corporation would evaluate each duelist's performance over the fifteen days and award different "points," which could be used to "purchase" cards from Public Security Bureau personnel. This was the agreed-upon "prize and bonus" for participating in the competition.

Of course, beyond that, there were things like "summer vacation allowances"—Kaiba Corporation never stinted; they would ensure every student attending the Friendship Cup felt their trip was worthwhile.

The Public Security Bureau offered only the latest, most popular card packs in this world. If lucky, one might even draw the rarest "Synchro Monsters."

This was highly tempting for students.

As the first duelist to compete, Tiancheng Guang won, performed exceptionally well, fully lived up to the honor of being the first to take the stage, and even revealed the "Symbolic World Monster Card," earning high scores. Coupled with Ryo Fujiki's personal endorsement, he had the highest points and could naturally purchase more card packs.

Thus, on this final day, Tiancheng Guang and several friends rushed excitedly to the temporary shop set up by the Public Security Bureau, ready to take full advantage of this opportunity to draw cards.

Although the mainstream in this world was Synchro, this world still had many Fusion cards and Fusion Monsters—never mind that the Netherworld Dragon used by the Skull Knight was a Fusion card.

And there, Tiancheng Guang spotted an unexpected person—

No.

Actually, it wasn't "unexpected."

Inside the small shop, several students were chatting while sneakily glancing at a muscular man nearby, watching him smile as he picked up one card pack after another, glanced briefly, then either bought it outright or tilted his head to study the packaging and card art.

Ryo Fujiki!

His purpose for coming to this world? Naturally… only one!

To examine this world's cards and, incidentally, learn this world's various games.

When Tiancheng Guang and Yuusei and the others rushed into the store, he looked up at the sound, instantly recognized the students from Duel Academy, and smiled, waving to them.

"You're just in time—I found some very interesting cards." He smiled, gently lifting the card pack in his hand, beckoning Tiancheng Guang and the others, "Come take a look together."
