Chapter 212: Virtual Domino City

"Welcome to the Link System."

"Identity verification passed, deck scanning completed..."

"Please enter your ID."

Need an ID too...

Fujiki You Xuan thought about it.

He was trying out the new equipment after the upgrade of the Link System received from Kaiba Corp. It seems that when he logged in with Mokuba last time, it might not have been officially tested, or he used a GM account or something, and there was no process for him to create an identity and enter an ID.

Fujiki You Xuan thought for a while and casually entered a few words, "Happy Dueling."

Simple, plain, but it best represents his dueling philosophy.

I believe that through this Link System in the future, more and more people will realize the joy of dueling.

"Logging into Virtual Domino City, countdown ten seconds... nine seconds..."

The numbers returned to zero, and countless blue water flows composed of numbers like 0 and 1 rushed toward him, submerging his vision. Fujiki You Xuan's body was suspended in the air, as if he had been wrapped into cold sea waves, drifting with the current, and gradually submerged into the swirling vortex.

His feet landed on solid ground again. He landed in a half-squat, looked down at himself, and felt that his body was gradually changing from a virtual state to a solid one, and data flow fluctuations were overflowing around him.

He remembered Mokuba's explanation of the Link System. His body is virtual data, just a simulation. But his state of logging into this system is similar to a projection of consciousness.

Metaphysical technology with Kaiba Corp characteristics.

Fujiki You Xuan stood up and looked around, finding himself in a huge city.

Skyscrapers towering into the clouds seemed to break through the constraints of the atmosphere, piercing the sky. Unlike the structure of real buildings, the architectural design here integrates the essence of streamlined and geometric aesthetics, and the surface flashes with a silver luster like transparent data rolling over.

In the center of the city is a huge energy tower, which looks like a huge crystal from a distance, covered with light blue flowing light. In the center is printed the "KC" mark representing Kaiba Corp.

However, the huge city looks cold and clear, like a still painting. There is no hustle and bustle of the city, no vitality, and even time seems slow and heavy.

"After all, it's the internal testing stage, a ghost town that hasn't opened yet..."

Fujiki You Xuan walked along the street.

He casually swiped open the player interface, which has simple auxiliary functions.

For example, the editing of the player's current deck, the query of cards already entered in the player's inventory. There are also city maps, markers for important locations, in-game friends, etc.

Most of the building facilities are not yet open, but he found shops and arenas through the map.

Fujiki You Xuan curiously followed the map's guidance to find a shop.

"Welcome."

The young clerk smiled.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"You guys did a good job here." Fujiki You Xuan looked around the shop environment. "As expected of the President's black technology, it's made to look like the real thing..."

The clerk still smiled: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Fujiki You Xuan pondered for two seconds, then walked two steps closer, and found that several buttons appeared in front of him when he was close to the counter.

"Talk; Buy; Sell; Leave."

Fujiki You Xuan: "..."

Just now he was sighing that this place was realistic enough, and suddenly the art style changed to an old-fashioned RPG.

After trying to talk a few times, he found that this clerk seemed to be an NPC. And the level of intelligence seemed to be just an old-fashioned RPG program, not some high-level intelligence.

Maybe when the system is officially launched, Kaiba Corp will replace her with something more intelligent.

"Buy."

Fujiki You Xuan clicked the button.

There was nothing special, the cards available for purchase seemed to be cards that could be bought at regular card sales points in reality, far less rich in card types than the internal channels of the academy department.

Fujiki You Xuan tried to buy one casually and found that it could not be obtained directly from the game. Even if purchased here, it still needs to receive the real card in reality.

After all, the cards that can be used in the Link System are not virtual data, but real cards that duelists need to enter into the system before logging in.

In addition, there are other clothes, props, etc. that can be used in the Link System in the shop. Fujiki You Xuan even saw motorcycles and flying skateboards...

By engaging in dueling activities in the Link World, you can earn in-game points to buy these virtual goods.

Fujiki You Xuan doesn't have points yet. He tentatively exited first and continued to wander around the city.

The currently open facilities also include the arena, which is also the core of the Link System. Here, anyone can match with duelists from all over the world regardless of geographical restrictions.

Mokuba said that the number of people who accepted the internal test qualification is quite large, and it would be nice if he could take this opportunity to compete with experts in the professional league.

Fujiki You Xuan was wandering toward the arena, and the phantom of Black Luster Soldier suddenly floated out beside him.

"What?" Fujiki You Xuan looked at him.

The power of spirits in the virtual world is also effective, which Fujiki You Xuan had already tested when he followed Mokuba in last time.

Black Luster Soldier floated there, as if thinking about something.

"Incredible." He suddenly said.

"What do you mean?"

"This place." Black Luster Soldier said. "This space created by humans is so real..."

"Oh, this. This is a data world, it's all fake." Fujiki You Xuan said. "Well, it's a bit hard to explain to you. But things on the internet are virtual..."

"No."

Black Luster Soldier shook his head.

"I understand what you mean by data world. But this? Although it may be a space created based on data, it is already more than just that."

Fujiki You Xuan was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Only then did he realize that Black Luster Soldier is a powerful spirit with space abilities. Perhaps he can see or feel things that he cannot perceive.

"As I said, this place is already close to an independent dimension created by artificial power. Honestly, I find it hard to imagine that this is a realm that can be created by the current power of humans." He said.

Although Fujiki You Xuan didn't fully understand it for a while, he thought, no, don't use "current human power" to define the President casually.

After all, the President is a man who successfully rushed into the Underworld to find Yugi to play cards years ago, and his technical strength is beyond common sense...

"Compared to the world you usually live in, this place is closer to our world." Black Luster Soldier said.

"Spirit World?" Fujiki You Xuan asked.

"Not bad. Now I can feel that if this place is the starting point, it seems to be only one wall away from a certain spirit dimension."

Black Luster Soldier said, gesturing with the sword in his hand.

"If you wish, I can show you."

Can this Link System connect to the Spirit World?

Fujiki You Xuan immediately realized that what President Kaiba developed might not be just a simple online card game simulator.

And Black Luster Soldier happens to be the kind of spirit that can unearth the potential of this system.

"Okay, let's go take a look."
