Chapter 197

"Mai, thank you so much this time. I didn't expect that after 'Duelist Kingdom,' your strength would become so strong now!"

Jonouchi, who had returned to normal, first bowed ninety degrees to Mai Kujaku to apologize.

Then he stated in a very "straight-man" way that the reason he lost before was because that wasn't him at all, and that he would compete with Mai Kujaku again in the 'Battle City' finals.

Yami Yugi, after also expressing his gratitude to Mai Kujaku, also generously admitted that the current Mai Kujaku was much stronger than before, but if they met again, he wouldn't admit defeat either.

"Boring! Yugi, whether it's you, Marik, or Mai Kujaku, who just showed amazing strength, wash your necks clean and wait.

The one who collects all three God Cards and wins the final victory will only be me, Seto Kaiba!"

President Kaiba was as arrogant as ever. After letting out a high-pitched wild laugh, he finally left by helicopter with his brother, Mokuba Kaiba.

Mai Kujaku looked at the two puzzle cards in her hand, then looked at the new card she had just obtained from the mission reward, and couldn't wait to find new prey to test her skills.

Shengzai's previous battle gave Mai Kujaku great inspiration and made her realize that her previous combat techniques were still too immature.

The so-called "perfume tactic" she used before might work against ordinary third-rate duelists, but against strong enemies like Yugi and Marik, it was far from enough.

At the same time, Mai Kujaku also discovered that "Harpie Kuriboh" was probably not just a simple Duel Spirit.

The golden finger she was given was probably not a so-called system, but Harpie Kuriboh... oh no, it was Shengzai himself.

The so-called card system was just one of Shengzai's abilities, and he could not only print cards for her, but also teach her superb combat techniques.

Watching Mai Kujaku drive away in a sports car, Jonouchi, who had fully recovered, couldn't help but show a look of frustration: "I didn't expect Mai to become so strong now. If I drag my feet, I'll probably lose miserably the next time I meet her."

It must be said that Jonouchi is indeed the man with the most guts in Yu-Gi-Oh! DM.

Others are either Millennium Item holders or reincarnations of pharaohs and priests, but he is just an ordinary person who relied on luck and willpower to break into the 'Battle City' top four.

Several times he faced the attack of The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode in a "Shadow Duel" with strong willpower; if it weren't for the plot killing him in the end, Yami Yugi probably wouldn't have had anything to do.

"Mai is indeed a true duelist, and I can clearly feel that she is different from when she was at 'Duelist Kingdom'."

Yami Yugi originally wanted to ask Mai Kujaku about the Duel Spirit, but thinking that everyone has their own secrets, and their relationship with Mai Kujaku wasn't close enough to talk about everything, he didn't ask in the end.

"Boom!"

In a stronghold of the Ghouls organization, Marik smashed his fist against the wall in anger.

"Damn Mai Kujaku! It's all because of that guy's meddling that the Nameless Pharaoh escaped a disaster.

And what is that "Harpie Kuriboh"? Why have we Ghouls, who possess card data from all over the world, never heard of such a card!

It's clearly just a Level 1 trash monster, yet it has attack power rivaling a God Card. Is this damn reasonable!"

The carefully prepared plan failed to kill the Nameless Pharaoh, and he couldn't even achieve the goal of disgusting the other party. At this moment, Marik was completely red-faced, and like an enraged child, he began to vent to his surroundings.

As for Mai Kujaku, who had already left, looking at the "Harpie Kuriboh" that only she could see beside her, she acted coquettishly and said: "Shengzai, I've already defeated quite a few other duelists just now, why is there no reward at all?"

Although the mission to defeat Jonouchi was completed, in the several card packs rewarded, Mai Kujaku didn't have the same explosive luck as the previous few times and didn't obtain powerful cards from the "Harpie" deck.

No choice, if your luck isn't enough, you can only make up for it with quantity; after all, a person can't be unlucky forever.

To defeat Yugi and the others who possess God Cards, relying on her current strength alone is not enough.

"Harpie Kuriboh" has the possibility of defeating God Cards, but she cannot guarantee that her luck will be so good every time, and that she can draw those key cards that increase Harpie Kuriboh's attack power when rivaling a God Card.

"No, no, those opponents before were too weak; they didn't meet the criteria for triggering the mission at all.

Although to a certain extent, I am both a Duel Spirit and a System Spirit and can interfere with the system to a certain extent, I must also follow the system's principle of fairness.

Look at the duelists you just defeated—trash monsters with 2000 attack power that they treat as their final trump cards, and they don't even know how to coordinate Spell and Trap Cards.

Can defeating duelists of this level provide any help to your strength improvement?

So girl, don't treat me as that kind of mindless system; wanting to find loopholes and bugs in me is impossible."

Hearing Shengzai's righteous words, Mai Kujaku rolled her eyes directly.

If it were at the beginning, she would probably believe Shengzai's words, but ever since the duel with Jonouchi, Mai Kujaku understood that Shengzai was the system itself, and his saying that he needed to follow the principle of fairness to help her become stronger was pure nonsense.

If the system were really selfless, then when she fell in the battle with Jonouchi, it should have been judged as a mission failure.

Although her life points were still 500 at the time, according to the rules of 'Battle City', the party unable to continue fighting due to physical factors would also be judged as a defeat.

Furthermore, although it used her body, the person who finally defeated Jonouchi was actually Shengzai. If the system really had a so-called fairness mechanism, her mission shouldn't have been completed either.

Mai Kujaku is a very smart and shrewd woman, so after analyzing it a little, she realized that this old system was entirely up to Shengzai alone!

"Don't say that. The so-called system is just a cold program, and you, Shengzai, obviously have emotions and human touch.

Before, in the Shadow Duel with Jonouchi, didn't you block the attack for me and finally help me defeat him?

Yugi and the others either have Millennium Items or God Cards; if I don't become stronger quickly, how can I defeat them?

Shengzai, we are now in a relationship of relying on each other; are you not going to help me?"

Mai Kujaku said while pulling down her neckline, making her "East African Rift Valley" even more conspicuous.

Don't ask her why she knows Shengzai's weakness, because when she entered the custodial state and Shengzai controlled her body, Mai Kujaku could also hear Shengzai's inner thoughts at the time.

For example, how heavy the chest is, how sore the shoulders are, and how the clothes weren't burned—she heard it all!
