Chapter 1093

~7 min read 1,382 words

Within half a day, the news spread throughout the Kaiba Corporation. Within a day, almost the entire dueling world.

Xyz Summoning.

This term spread like wildfire, and it seemed to become known to everyone all of a sudden.

Two months ago, there were rumors that Kaiba Corporation had found a new direction for dueling and the future of humanity. A new summoning method called "Synchro Summoning" was under development, and if successful, this summoning method would be linked to the new energy field, and dueling would build a new future for humanity.

Of course, this news had not been confirmed, and the whistleblowers had not announced a truly credible authoritative identity. The news had always remained a rumor and had not been confirmed so far.

Even the topic of Synchro was still in the rumor stage and had not been confirmed, and now something called "Xyz" had popped up, so one could imagine what kind of uproar it caused in the industry.

Many media and website forums had been constantly writing related reports, such as "Where will the future of dueling go", and "Will the dueling world be reshuffled", etc.

Kaiba Corporation had not yet made any public comments on this, but Fujiki You Xuan, who was considered half an insider, had already obtained the inside scoop.

Probably next month, Kaiba Corporation would announce the existence of the concepts of "Synchro" and "Xyz" at the same time.

With the perpetual motion machine brought back by Fujiki You Xuan, the first batch of trial products for Synchro cards had actually been completed long ago. Now even the development of the perpetual motion machine had entered the experimental stage, Synchro Summoning was theoretically completely possible, and the development of the first pack of Synchro cards could be completely completed before next month.

Xyz might still be a while away from official sale, but displaying the first batch of trial cards at the press conference next month seemed to be completely fine for now.

After all, the first local Xyz in this dimension had already been developed.

It was exactly the Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon that Fujiki You Xuan had mentioned to Jonouchi before.

As a veteran series card in this dimension, Red-Eyes had always been a key development spirit, and it performed well in recent Xyz tests, so it received key resource investment and quickly completed the development of the first Xyz in this dimension.

Fujiki You Xuan had also been highly concerned about the development of Red-Eyes.

He didn't have much interest in the Red-Eyes deck at this stage. It wasn't because Red-Eyes Black Dragon was too rare—although Red-Eyes was a rare card, it didn't reach the point where there were only a few in the world like Blue-Eyes. More than one person held it in the anime, and with the resources and power Fujiki You Xuan currently possessed, it was not difficult at all to get a Red-Eyes.

It's just that the current Red-Eyes, in Fujiki You Xuan's view, had average strength and wasn't "dark" enough, so it didn't have many points to attract him.

But even so, he knew it was still a card worth key investment. After all, he knew that Red-Eyes had produced god-level thigh cards like "Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon" that were enough to rewrite the environment. Although the thigh card was a slave to everyone and worked for everyone, it was the fate of not being able to carry the family's salted fish eyes, but it was still strong.

Fujiki You Xuan was also quite interested in this Flare Metal Dragon, and it matched his style quite well. "As long as the opponent activates a card effect, it stably burns 500 HP." Just seeing this line, his brain circuit, which had been tempered and distorted to have a tendency to retaliate against society, had almost instinctively outlined several frameworks for retaliatory methods.

But Fujiki You Xuan himself didn't play the Red-Eyes deck, and one of Flare Metal Dragon's important effects was "remove one Xyz Material to revive a Red-Eyes monster from the Graveyard, and it can also be used during the opponent's turn." Although it could still be used even if this effect was ignored, it would not be able to exert the full ability of this card without this key effect. So Fujiki You Xuan still notified Jonouchi that this card would be given to him first.

After all, the currently recognized strongest Red-Eyes user in this dimension was still Jonouchi.

And Fujiki You Xuan felt that sharing his whimsical ideas with Jonouchi would probably interest the other party too. After all, Jonouchi was also the best friend of "that man" Yugi Mutou, and the only designated user of the burn-damage originator "Fireball" in the anime. Fujiki You Xuan felt that he also had this wisdom.

However, as the new cards were released and research broke through, Fujiki You Xuan couldn't help but ask Mokuba an important question.

Fujiki You Xuan said that now our Kaiba Corporation has so many good things, perpetual motion machines, Synchro, Xyz, dimensional travel, time stop... any one of them is a technology that is worth a fortune and scares people to death.

With so many valuable things, what if we run into someone coming to rob us? Should we consider strengthening security?

But Mokuba just waved his hand and confidently said it was fine, can't you trust our Kaiba security? There is no safer place in the world than this.

Fujiki You Xuan wanted to speak but stopped, stopped but wanted to speak, and finally didn't say anything.

He thought that if he were a local native, he would probably let it go, but as someone who had watched the anime, he knew that the Kaiba Corporation's black technology development was one set after another, and it was absolutely correct to be a hundred years ahead of the century. However, whether Kaiba's products were excellent or not, it definitely didn't prevent theft.

Kaiba Corporation in the anime was hacked more than once or twice. Hacked by the AI Noah, hacked by the AI Kaiba Gozaburo, hacked by Dartz's organization Doma, hacked by Tenma Yako, hacked by Zigfried von Schroeder...

If it was just losing some small things every day, it would be fine to treat it as President Kaiba being rich and unconstrained, having a lot of money and not caring about a few dollars or a few cards, and not taking it to heart at all.

The problem was that the theft problems in the President's house were mostly quite serious. Either the whole company was lost, or the thousand-year hostage Vice President was lost...

Although every theft was excusable and the opponents were mostly extraordinary masters, the frequency still gave Fujiki You Xuan a stereotype that "the security of the President's house is approximately equal to a bus conductor," and those who got on the bus could escape the ticket...

However, Fujiki You Xuan still didn't say anything in the end. Because he thought about it again and felt that the security being broken might not be a bad thing.

The treasures were all placed here, just treat them as bait. If someone really came to steal, it would be even better, take the opportunity to take them down so he wouldn't have to go and find out one by one which foxes were hiding in the dark.

The next two days were temporarily uneventful, and there was no new news from the Xyz Dimension for the time being.

The two vanguards of the Xyz Dimension they caught also didn't grasp any further useful information. These two gave Fujiki You Xuan the feeling of being dead soldiers, and they didn't even know how to return to their own dimension.

Whether they could go back depended entirely on whether the other side would come to meet them, and from the current situation, the other side seemed to have adopted a completely abandoned attitude toward them.

But Fujiki You Xuan knew that things would definitely not end so simply, and the opponent would strike again sooner or later.

It's just that he didn't expect that when he got news from the Xyz Dimension next time, the news didn't come from the academy, nor from Kaiba Corporation.

But from his Hanoi Knights.
