Chapter 355: You Xuan's Unique Insight

"Is it student Fujiki You Xuan?"

The man wearing glasses and a white coat walked straight over and reached out his hand to him.

You Xuan shook hands with him: "Mr. France?"

"It is."

The man greeted him politely, nodded, and adjusted his glasses.

"I am France, the chief designer in charge of the 'The Winged Dragon of Ra' project in the God Card research team at Industrial Illusions."

You Xuan looked at this person, feeling that he didn't quite match the image he had in his mind.

The France who appeared in the anime started off with an arrogant look that didn't recognize anyone, and didn't even put their president, Pegasus, in his eyes. He came up and arrogantly said to Pegasus, "If you have the ability, win against me first," leaving You Xuan with nothing more than impressions like "inflated" and "arrogant."

And it wasn't the kind of arrogance based on great confidence in his own strength like President Kaiba, but a type like Sasuke who couldn't figure out his own position, "The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and I'm okay again," which was very consistent with the stereotype of a unit-drama villain.

But the person actually appearing in front of him now looked quite cultured, spoke very politely, and gave You Xuan a feeling that was unexpectedly quite normal.

Perhaps it was because he was the first person since the disappearance of the Pharaoh to be able to control the power of the Egyptian Gods in the anime, and he was carried away by the power, which was understandable.

Actually, although he was just a unit-drama villain and didn't play cards very well, his talent had to be acknowledged.

Although it had a bit of a crooked path, the Field Spell "Mound of the Bound Creator" that he developed independently really bound The Winged Dragon of Ra, allowing him to control the power of the Egyptian Gods in a duel.

Regardless of whether his path was right or wrong, he really solved a problem that had troubled Mr. Marik's Gulus group and the Tombkeepers for a long time. He successfully summoned the Egyptian Gods as a mortal, even using replica cards, committing a double taboo, and nothing happened to him at the end of the story, which was already quite a background.

"Student You Xuan has quite a reputation in the academic world recently. I have heard about the various achievements your laboratory has already achieved, it is truly a hero born of youth."

France smiled and pushed his glasses.

"I almost can't imagine how far student You Xuan can go in the future."

"You're too kind, it's just luck to have a few more inspirations than others." You Xuan smiled.

"Hahaha, that can't be considered humble, student You Xuan." France said meaningfully, "Only those who have truly entered this circle and studied this work can understand that your so-called 'few inspirations' are incomparable to what others can achieve with more effort..."

You Xuan smiled, not denying it.

Indeed, he had already deeply discovered that for a research project, finding the right direction could make things much easier. When you know what the support cards and evolution forms surrounding a card are, and have a clear goal in mind, you are already a big step closer to the goal than others.

"But it's still a bit unexpected that student You Xuan would contact our group. Egyptian God research is a taboo, and our president even thought about closing the project—he even felt that this project shouldn't exist."

"Mr. Pegasus, huh." You Xuan said, "But wasn't it him who brought the Three Egyptian Gods into the world in the first place?"

"Yeah, but he often regrets it afterward. Saying that this is a power that shouldn't be mastered by humans, that it shouldn't have been created in the first place, and now that it has been buried, it shouldn't be dug up, blah blah blah..."

France couldn't help but shake his head when he said this.

It could be seen that although this person was not as extreme as when he appeared in the anime, he might indeed have been at odds with Pegasus early on.

"We who do design should pursue the ultimate of Duel Monsters. And now that we all know where the highest peak is, he hinders us from climbing it with the excuse of 'danger'..."

"Student You Xuan should be able to understand, right?"

Since You Xuan took the initiative to propose wanting to learn about this forbidden project, he should naturally be in favor of it.

"Of course. But Mr. Pegasus also has his reasons. It is a fact that everyone who has tried to reproduce the power of the Egyptian Gods so far has suffered varying degrees of harm."

"I don't deny that there is danger in it." France shook his head, "But if you want to challenge the highest peak of dueling, danger is inevitable. So how can we, as designers pursuing ultimate power, be afraid?"

"And in fact, I actually already have an idea..."

Speaking of this, he frowned, somewhat displeased.

"According to this way of development, I have at least an 80%... no, a 90% chance of success. Even ordinary duelists can gain short-term control over the power of the Egyptian Gods."

"But the president rejected my idea."

You Xuan naturally knew what he was referring to.

The Field Spell "Mound of the Bound Creator", as the name suggests, is a field that puts shackles on the gods. Using violent means to suppress the power of the gods to avoid divine punishment.

Although it seems to be useful from the anime performance, the risks of doing so are self-evident. After all, you can use Mound of the Bound Creator to protect yourself during a duel, but you can't hide in this field forever.

The Winged Dragon of Ra: Kid, I'll remember you, don't sleep too soundly at night.

"Using cards that can restrain the power of the gods to limit them, so as to avoid risks, huh. It's an idea." You Xuan said, "But doing so still has certain risks. Second, the power of the Egyptian Gods will also be suppressed, and if the spirits and duelists are not of one mind, it will also have some impact."

"I understand." France said, "But this is the only way found so far, and no one else has proposed other feasible means..."

He paused as he spoke, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he looked at You Xuan expectantly.

"Wait, could it be that student You Xuan has some unique insights?"

He had heard before that many other departments had received You Xuan's guidance, thereby breaking through bottlenecks and achieving various amazing breakthroughs.

Such a guy suddenly contacting their group is likely not without a target.

"Haha, I can't say unique insights, but I did suddenly have some inspiration." You Xuan said, "Look, is there such a possibility? The Egyptian God cards are too powerful to control, so what if we design some other related cards, just borrowing part of the gods' authority, but not completely copying the entire card?"

"Hmm?"

France was stunned.

As an expert in the frontier field of God Card research in the world today, this kind of insight was really the first time he had heard of it.

"All current research is blindly thinking about how to copy God cards and how to control them. But the progress over so many years has basically proven that this path is very difficult to walk."

"So why not change the way of thinking?"

France pondered: "You mean by fragmenting the power of the gods and dispersing it into different derivative cards, so as to obtain part of the power?"

"Something like that. In addition, as for the Sun God, as an expert, you must know that 'The Winged Dragon of Ra' has several different forms, right?"

"So if you can't summon the complete Egyptian God, what if it's just one of the individual forms?"

This statement was novel and bold, and it was completely a door to a new world for France, and he fell into deep thought for a while.

The guidance work had been completed, and You Xuan stepped aside to watch him ponder, smiling without saying a word.

Yes, that's right, he wanted the egg of The Winged Dragon of Ra.

A bird egg that can eat three monsters on the opposite side in one go, isn't it fragrant?
