Chapter 26: A Man Who Is Backed
Encounter… a ghost?
Yuei Vu was a little puzzled by Snow Wave's statement, but he didn't think it was impossible.
After all, the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! was indeed full of strange things. This world system included various elements such as the underworld, gods and demons, magic, aliens, and different dimensions. It was not surprising that ghosts exist in such a world.
However, even if Snow Wave encounters a real ghost, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Because whether it involved gods and demons, aliens or ghosts, there was one basic rule in the Yu-Gi-Oh! system—that was "there is nothing that cannot be solved by playing cards".
Snow Wave began to tell him the ins and outs of the incident.
After separating from Yuei Vu earlier, he immediately began to wander around the streets, picking up daily small tasks, taking the initiative to talk to passers-by and play cards, and trying to trigger hidden quests.
Because most of the mainstream supernatural powers in Yu-Gi-Oh were related to "darkness", there were often villains who like to hide in the darkest and quietest corners in the dead of night to devour people's souls. Therefore, after nightfall, Snow Wave specially picked the darkest and most empty alleys to visit.
When Yuei Vu heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless. He has been playing games for so many years, and this was the first time he has heard of someone triggering a quest like this.
This reminded him of a certain old man he had seen in the forum, bragging that he was tired of reading countless amateurs, and wanted to find a female ghost to try it out. ….
If players want to trigger the plot quests, most of them had to study the plot, analyze and decrypt it, and study the strategy to brush the favorability of a specific NPC. Snow Wave's method was different, relying on his luck to get the quest.
What? Hidden quests?
Isn't that something you can just run into when walking around in the street?
In the previous life, Yuei Vu was very disdainful of players with such luck. Especially every time he opened the packs and his money sank to the bottom, he would be as incompetent and furious as countless other bad luck players, shouting something like "Lucky guys eat dog sh*t."
But it's different now.
Now he felt that his mind was obviously a lot more open-minded, and he sincerely hoped that the players would have a lot of dog shit luck and pick up URs on foot.
After all, now, what the players have was almost his.
... Of course, his was still his. This was the basic principle.
"…it's on the bridge that crosses the river in the city over there." Snow Wave said, "I heard someone calling me when I was crossing the bridge, saying something like 'come this way'.
Although the voice is small, I am sure I heard it right. I looked left and right several times, and I was pretty sure that I was the only one in the front and back, and there was no shadow of the other half. "
It really has such a supernatural taste.
"Then what?" Yuei Vu became interested.
At the same time, his mind had begun to spin rapidly, trying to recall whether there was such a quest at the beginning of the game in his previous life.
But he couldn't seem to remember.
There were too many side plot quests in World Link Online. Those quests were small in scale, have no impact on the main plot, and were generally rewarded poorly.
"Then…then I hurriedly ran away…"
Yuei Vu: "?"
Ran away?
You stumbled upon a hidden quest… turned around and ran away?
"Because I'm afraid," Snow Wave felt a little embarrassed, "I've been afraid of these ghastly things since I was a child…"
Yuei Vu: "…"
This is just a game! What are you afraid of!
Not to mention that in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, even ghosts may not have anything to be afraid of (80% of them still had to play cards anyway), what is the big point of being killed by one? Will you be a good guy again in a few hours?
In World Link Online, if the player died, they must wait for a few hours to cool down before they could be revived.
Although it sounded a bit painful, in fact, this function was not usually used at all. After all, this was a card game, and generally speaking, you could not die during the duel.
Only in special circumstances, such as "Shadow Game", players could die if they lost.
So in fact, it was quite a disadvantage for the villains to have a Shadow Game duel with the player. For the villains, they may be betting their lives, but for the players, their ante was that they would not be able to play for a few hours…
"Let's lead the way." Yuei Vu stood up from behind the counter, "I'll go take a look with you."
Snow Wave was overjoyed immediately.
Yuei-san is indeed a good person… ah no, he is a good NPC!
According to the players' experience in online games, the NPCs who form a team together to play the game were either a load, whose meaning of existence was to force the game to be more difficult; or a thigh that did all the work for the player.
Snow Wave was convinced that Yuei Vu must be the latter type.
He became more and more certain that he was lucky enough to meet a rare NPC who could take him off and throw off several versions of other players.
An NPC can take me through the hidden quest, how dare you believe it!
"Chika, let me go out." Yuei Vu said.
"This late?" Qian Nai's beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise, and she looked at Snow Wave next to Yuei Vu in surprise, "With him?"
She must be wondering now in her little head – what are the two big men doing out in the middle of the night?
"There is something I need to do. I may be back very late." Yuei Vu said, "Don't wait for me."
"...Oh."
...
The place Snow Wave mentioned was still in another city, and it was a little far away, so the two of them walked for a while before arriving.
The rushing river was supported by a reinforced concrete bridge, and the dark water flowed endlessly under the night.
It was said that this river was a channel gushed out by seawater, and the river surface was not too wide. In the past, before the city was built, a wooden bridge was created here, but because of lacking repair for a long time, no one dared to cross the wooden bridge.
Later, it seemed that the all-powerful Kaiba Corp built a project, demolished the wooden bridge, and built a new solid modern bridge, connecting the two sides of the river again.
"It's right here!" Snow Wave said firmly, "That's what I heard here at the time."
Snow Wave, who came here not long ago, was so cowardly that he turned around and ran away, but now it was different.
After all, now…he was a man who was backed!
Snow Wave suddenly felt that he was okay again, so he couldn't help holding his head high, and even the pace of progress began to be recognizable.
Oh, what if there are ghosts?
After all, this is the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, where playing cards are respected.
No matter how powerful you are, can you still beat the big brother next to me at dueling?
Hidden quest, here I come!
Just thinking about it so beautifully, Snow Wave suddenly stopped and let out a scream of "ah".
It sounded like a sleeping cat was trampled on the tail.
Because at this moment, a string of striking red letters jumped out in front of Snow Wave.
