Chapter 198

"Ding, congratulations on triggering the mission—Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy!"

"Mission Requirements: In 'Battle City', cumulatively defeat more than ten duelists.

Mission Reward: Random Card Pack X5

Mission Failure Penalty: Cosplay as Harpie Lady for a duel."

PS: Although the strength of ordinary adventurers in Battle City is average, true duelists become stronger through constant dueling!

Even ordinary duelists have their merits; learn their strengths, hone your dueling skills, and become stronger!"

When she saw this mission pop-up appear, a big smile appeared on Mai Kujaku's face.

Sure enough, just as she thought before, the system is fair and just—who said there are no loopholes? It's because you didn't find the right way!

Mai Kujaku: Can I drill your loopholes?

Shengzai: This system has no holes!

Based on previous contact and communication, Mai Kujaku also understood that although Shengzai is a Duel Spirit, he is unexpectedly a pervert.

However, Mai Kujaku didn't care about this; instead, she was quite happy. After all, just like this mission failure penalty, in her view, it was simply painless.

If Shengzai were really desireless, she wouldn't know how to get close to him.

Lust—what is lust? Occasionally giving some benefits, and she can become stronger.

Anyway, Shengzai is a Duel Spirit, and he is in the form of a Kuriboh; even the species is completely different. Could he really do anything to her?

Having obtained the mission as she wished, Mai Kujaku continued her monster-brushing journey.

And as one duelist after another fell under her miniskirt, Mai Kujaku also became the second player to successfully advance to the second round of the competition.

The first person to complete the advancement was President Kaiba, and when he saw that the second person to arrive at the gathering point relying on puzzle cards was Mai Kujaku, he was obviously stunned for a moment.

Honestly, although Mai Kujaku showed impressive combat skills and strength in the battle with Jonouchi before.

But the strong enemies in President Kaiba's heart were still only Yugi and Marik, who held the other two God Cards.

As for the likes of Mai Kujaku, in his eyes, she was just a little stronger than mediocre duelists like Jonouchi.

"Please let me check your puzzle cards to see if you have qualified for advancement."

Although Mai Kujaku did arrive at the gathering point, out of procedure, the Kaiba Corporation staff still needed to check if she had collected eight puzzle cards.

For the other party's request, Mai Kujaku didn't refuse, but took out a large stack of puzzle cards directly from her skirt pocket.

And when he saw a large stack of puzzle cards almost covering the entire table, the bodyguard from Kaiba Corporation responsible for checking was stunned on the spot.

Although he hadn't deliberately counted them yet, just looking at the quantity, it was enough to see that the number of puzzle cards Mai Kujaku held far exceeded the requirements for advancement.

At first, the bodyguards of Kaiba Corporation thought these puzzle cards were forged, but soon they discovered that these puzzle cards were all equipped with Kaiba Corporation's chips and were genuine!

Compared to their president, Mai Kujaku was less than ten minutes late; if her transportation hadn't been inferior to President Kaiba's, she might have been the first to advance.

But the number of puzzle cards in her hand, compared to their president...

"Hmph, it seems you have defeated quite a few nobodies, but you have to understand that no matter how many nobodies you defeat, the number of puzzle cards doesn't decide anything!"

The reason Mai Kujaku's number of puzzle cards far exceeded the advancement standard was actually caused by the mission issued by Shengzai.

After all, no matter how weak the contestants in 'Battle City' are, they at least have one puzzle card in their hands.

Not counting the Ghouls extras defeated before, just the mission issued by Shengzai, the number of duelists who fell into Mai Kujaku's hands was no less than ten.

Mai Kujaku was brushing monsters to complete the mission, and only after the mission was completed did she run to the gathering point for advancement.

But such behavior of hers, in the eyes of President Kaiba now, became a deliberate show, thinking that Mai Kujaku intended to use the number of "puzzle cards" to show her strength over others.

"I certainly know that the number of puzzle cards has nothing to do with the second round of the competition. These extra puzzle cards are just because I accidentally won too many.

Does 'Battle City' stipulate that if you have too many puzzle cards, you cannot advance to the second round?

Or is it that President Kaiba is just feeling unhappy because the number of puzzle cards was suppressed by me?"

President Kaiba has always looked at people with his nostrils; Mai Kujaku also understands this.

But she clearly hadn't done anything, yet she was provoked and mocked again and again; Mai Kujaku herself was not a person with a good temper.

Facing Mai Kujaku's retort, Kaiba was furious. Just as he raised his Duel Disk and was about to teach the woman in front of him a lesson and let her experience what a "tyrant president" is, other people who advanced appeared one after another as if by appointment.

Just like in the original plot, the top eight who advanced to 'Battle City' were still those people:

Kaiba, Mai Kujaku, Yugi, Jonouchi, Ishizu, Marik, Odion, and Yami Bakura, who arrived just in time.

The top eight who advanced were the same as before, so the final draw results naturally didn't change.

After boarding the so-called airship, the live broadcast of the Battle City competition was directly broadcast to all parts of the world.

With the strong financial strength of Kaiba Corporation, it is no exaggeration to say that just advancing to the top eight of 'Battle City' is enough to be called truly famous.

After all, this is a worldwide broadcast, and in this world where card games are supreme, powerful duelists are much more popular than those so-called idol stars.

When the duel between Yami Yugi and Bakura began, the appearance of the God Card also pushed the frenzy of Duel Monsters to its peak.

And after witnessing the powerful ability of Slifer the Sky Dragon, although the entire schedule of 'Battle City' had not yet ended, many duelists had already concluded that this "Duel King" title would inevitably be born among Yugi, Seto Kaiba, and Marik.

For no other reason than that the ability of the God Card is too powerful; compared to these three God Cards, other Duel Monsters are too weak.

Moreover, in addition to the power of the God Cards, the three of them are also extremely strong duelists themselves. Now with the blessing of God Cards, other duelists cannot be their opponents at all.

In the first match, Yami Yugi defeated Yami Bakura, and in the second match, Jonouchi narrowly defeated Odion, who used a trap deck.

Even in the second match, because Odion used a copy card of The Winged Dragon of Ra, it triggered the wrath of God, and he eventually became unconscious.

And because of the self-destructive behavior of the surface Marik, the "King of Facial Expressions" Yami Marik, who is comparable to Jonouchi, officially went online.
