Chapter 423: Attention from Industrial Illusions

The duel ended, Ansel took Tiancheng Guang's hand and raised it, accepting the cheers of the audience.

For Ansel, whether he won or not was not a very important matter; what he hoped to see more was the smiling faces of the audience.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted the invitation from Industrial Illusions to become a card tester for Industrial Illusions.

Tiancheng Guang's impression of him was also quite good. He rarely encountered this type of duelist. Considering that he might encounter many "entertainment duelists" in the future, Tiancheng Guang was very willing to communicate with him.

"Ah, truly worthy of being the rumored answer to Fusion, it's really too strong."

"Haha, you're bragging about me too much, I'm still far from that level of strength."

Ansel laughed, and after shaking hands with Tiancheng Guang, he continued: "Tell you a secret, Student Tiancheng."

"Eh? What?" Tiancheng Guang asked in confusion.

"The President appreciates you very much."

President?

The "President" in his mouth was obviously not the same "President" in other people's mouths.

"Mr. Pegasus? Is he also paying attention to me?" Tiancheng Guang was not too surprised and continued to chat with him.

"Hmm—sigh—" While speaking, he folded his arms behind his head, leaning against the wall of the road in front of the lounge, looking at the audience in the distance.

He looked far less "optimistic" and "upward" than he appeared during the duel; instead, he looked quite irritable.

"Mr. Pegasus often discusses some of his worries with us."

"Worries?" Tiancheng Guang asked in surprise.

What is he worried about?

Light of Destruction?

In the original work, it seems he was indeed the one who took the initiative to start looking for the Light of Destruction.

"Cards."

Cards!?

He is worried about cards?

Ansel dug into his deck and took out a monster card, on which was depicted exactly Beast Machine King Barbaros Ur: "This card was once Young Master Yexing's ace card. It was originally a Fusion monster, but some time ago, Young Master Yexing redesigned it and changed it into its current appearance."

Tiancheng Guang had some impression.

It seems that in the side story of the manga, this did happen, but he didn't read "Yu-Gi-Oh! R" very seriously, so he wasn't very clear about it.

In short, this card seems to have caused a stir in this world, but except for the people at Industrial Illusions, others don't know about it.

"Simple appearance method, extremely high ATK, for the sake of balance, Young Master Yexing added the side effect that the battle damage dealt to the opponent becomes 0 to balance it."

"This is also the philosophy that our Industrial Illusions has always held."

A flash of inspiration flashed in Tiancheng Guang's mind.

"Ah... so that's how it is?"

"It seems you thought of it?" Ansel nodded slightly, "In Mr. Pegasus's view, the design of cards should be maintained with the idea that effects are secondary, and concepts and design sense are primary.

A powerful card not only needs to have powerful power, but also needs to have a difficult appearance method or a corresponding side effect."

He touched his chin and continued: "Therefore, the President especially likes your classmate, the student named Maeda Hayato, who designed 【Ayers Rock Sunrise】."

Tiancheng Guang remembered this.

The Ayers Rock Sunrise designed by Maeda Hayato gained the appreciation of President Pegasus, and then he was recruited to Industrial Illusions. When the GX tournament started, he had also contacted Judai.

It is said that he wanted to use this card and Judai's Hero series as a theme to design a brand new Hero card.

Tiancheng Guang guessed that it was probably Sunrise.

"However, have you seen those audience members and spirits outside?" Ansel shook his head slightly, "Because our world is connected to more and more dimensions, everyone has gradually discovered that there is a clear qualitative gap between cards.

Originally, pursuing powerful cards was almost the instinct of every duelist's heart. Now that they see that the average strength of cards from the outside world is higher than their own, they will naturally pursue powerful cards instinctively.

It is said that a senior originally wanted to create a card that could rival the Egyptian God Cards, but because of the dimensional exploration, he had doubts. During this period, he put down some ideas and instead started researching dimensions with the President, wanting to figure out the ideas in his head."

The senior he mentioned here should be the genius designer in the original work who created "Mound of the Bound Creator" and then controlled The Winged Dragon of Ra.

That designer felt that he was not valued by Pegasus because Maeda Hayato was rated as the best designer of the year, so he stole Ra in hatred, wanting to prove himself.

That designer said the super famous quote "Duelists always pursue powerful cards" in the original work. Later, after losing to Judai, Pegasus appeared and told him some of his design philosophies, and told him that he was the most talented designer Pegasus appreciated. He returned with Pegasus in tears.

Regardless, being able to design Mound of the Bound Creator and really control the copy of Ra, this talent is indeed the top-tier younger generation designer in the original work.

In this tournament, I haven't heard of anything other than the emergency suspension of the Dark World. It seems that he really didn't do that like in the original work because of the different dimensions.

"And you are different." Ansel continued, "The President has watched the videos of your duels with Mr. Dinosaur and Mr. Insect, and has also seen some of your previous records. He feels that although many of the Fusion cards you use are very strong, your dueling has never changed, which makes him very happy.

In an era where everyone is pursuing powerful cards, having a duelist who can slam on the brakes is something he really wants to see."

"Haha, is that so? Thank you very much for his appreciation." Tiancheng Guang was quite happy. If he could get on Pegasus's line, wouldn't he be able to get whatever he wanted from the original animation cards?

Ansel put away the card and continued: "If there are no accidents, he should have watched this duel too. He will definitely be very happy that you used various Fusions to Fusion Summon Gem-Knight Prismaura in this duel..."

While speaking, he saw his phone ring. He opened it, noticed a new message, glanced at it, and continued: "Ha, look, Student Tiancheng, just as I said, the President has decided to design a card for you personally according to your dueling."

"Really?" Tiancheng Guang was excited.

There is such a good thing!?

Could it be Thousand-Eyes Restrict?

That card is the evolution of Pegasus's former ace, and Tiancheng Guang himself has used it several times.

"Actually, the President had already prepared it, but hadn't made up his mind. This time, it should be because he saw your performance, so he made up his mind. Ha, the President also said that my performance this time was very good... Hahaha, Student Tiancheng, if I get promoted and get a raise in the future, I will have to thank you a lot." Although he is still an intern, it doesn't prevent Ansel from joking.

"No, even if you really get promoted and get a raise, that's because of your own performance, and it has nothing to do with me." Tiancheng Guang shook his head and wouldn't take credit for this, "Then, was it said what card it is?"

Ansel curled his lips: "I can reveal a name to you, as for the effect, it depends on how Mr. Pegasus designs it."

Tiancheng Guang nodded.

"It seems to be called... Dragunity Knight - Romulus."

Wow!

Tiancheng Guang's eyes lit up immediately.
