Street breakfast shop.
Lin You held a bowl of Jiangcheng's specialty hot dry noodles in his hand, mixed it with sesame paste, and began to eat it in big mouthfuls.
It only took about a minute for Lin You to finish his hot dry noodles and drink up the yogurt. After paying the bill, he stood on the street waiting for a taxi. It was a little after eight o'clock and the occasional breeze on the street seemed cool and very comfortable.
After waiting for two minutes, Lin You finally got an empty car.
"Master, please drive to the Jiangcheng Duel Arena."
After getting in the car, Lin You told the driver the destination.
Lin You had already checked on Baidu Maps last night. It takes about half an hour to drive from Jinming Community to Jiangcheng Duel Hall, which is a bit far.
Lin You and Liu Jun agreed to meet at nine o'clock, which was actually the time when the Jiangcheng Duel Hall opened.
Since it was Sunday, the road was relatively smooth, and at 8:45, the taxi stopped in front of the main entrance of Jiangcheng Duel Hall.
There is a black-gray marble doorplate in front of the main entrance, with the five words "Jiangcheng Duel Hall" engraved in light gold font. On both sides are tightly closed electronic fences, which are not open yet.
After Lin You paid the bill and said thank you, he got out of the car and looked inside the duel hall.
Looking inside from the main gate, the first thing that catches your eye is an empty square. In the center of the square is an artificial fountain, surrounded by a large number of green plants. At the innermost part of the square is a huge building. A model of a duel disk is hung on the top of the building, and on both sides are models of two duel monsters.
Lin You happened to know these two duel monsters, namely 'Time Magician' and 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon'. The sizes of their models were not proportional, and the confrontation scene was inexplicably funny.
"Lin You, so early today? I'm mentally prepared for you to be late."
Lin You was still admiring the models of the two monsters when someone suddenly patted his shoulder, followed by Liu Jun's voice.
"Do you still need to doubt my quality? This is not right."
Lin You criticized and then said, "Wait, I will PK with you in the Imperial City?"
"No, playing with you is asking for trouble. Your 'Mechanical Gear' card is disgusting. It has a low limit and can increase attack power by 200 points. Besides, my magic power can't withstand it. It's more fun to bully little friends."
Liu Jun decisively admitted his mistake.
"That's it?"
Lin You was a little surprised, not because Liu Jun was giving in, but because in the other party's eyes, mechanical gears were actually disgusting?
He now believes that it is necessary to reshape his understanding of cards. He cannot casually belittle the cards he can access at the moment just because he has the impression of countless powerful cards in his mind.
Essentially, the card with the strongest single attribute right now is just the "Giant Truck", a card with no class or image at all.
Secondly, magic power is also something that needs to be considered.
Lin You's current magic power seems to be pretty good in Class 6, but how could he be satisfied with this level? He has long been studying how to improve his own magic power.
The result of the inquiry is that if you want to improve this thing immediately, the most direct way is to spend money.
Spending money can only satisfy the early stage of improvement. If you want to become a truly powerful duelist, you need to go to the Duelist University in person to find the answer.
As the time gradually approached nine o'clock, more and more people gathered around. Obviously, many people were rushing to Jiangcheng Duel Hall today.
Having free time on weekends is secondary. The most important thing is that the duel hall is only open to the public for free on Sundays. Unless you are a formal duelist, you will have to pay an additional fee of 500 yuan to enter the hall on non-free days.
However, not all the people who come here intend to participate in the duel. Most of them come simply to join in the fun and want to see the competition between the duelists up close.
Of course, only these informal duelists can watch. The duels between real duelists are held in another duelist building where outsiders are prohibited from entering.
"Dear duelists and spectators, the Jiangcheng Duel Hall is about to open. Please maintain order and enter the hall in the order of duelists first, then spectators. Thank you for your cooperation."
A voice was repeatedly transmitted through the loudspeaker in the guard room: At nine o'clock sharp, the electronic fences on both sides of the gate were closed.
"Okay, let's go."
Lin You snapped his fingers happily and took the lead walking in the front. Groups of people quickly poured into the venue. Fortunately, the square after entering the door was spacious enough and it didn't have much impact on walking.
Walking deep into the square, after a while, Lin You and Liu Jun followed the crowd into the duel hall. The space inside the hall was extremely large, even larger than a football field.
This huge space is divided into 20 duel areas, each of which is nearly 500 square meters. It is not too large, but it is enough to carry out the current card duel.
When entering the venue, Lin You and Liu Jun each received a number from the staff, and the initial order of entry was determined according to the number.
The first to enter will be duelists No. 1 to 20. Duelists with ideas can duel with these 20 people.
Of course, even if you get a number in the top 20, whether you can go on stage depends entirely on your mood. If you do not enter for more than five minutes, the rest of the people can take your place.
Lin You did not get a number in the top 20, but that was just what he wanted. He also wanted to see what the card duels in the world were like today.
Even if you have learned something through watching some themed movies, if you want to truly understand something, you still need to experience it yourself.
"This is a good spot, Lin You, we've got it."
The entire duel hall's audience seats were arranged in a circular pattern with rows rising one after another. Liu Jun quite skillfully grabbed an empty seat in the front row of the audience seats. From here, he could watch the fight from a closer distance and it was also convenient for him to enter the venue.
"Not bad, look at the level of these people, it will be boring to get beaten later."
Lin You nodded in satisfaction and sat down peacefully. After a while, the originally empty dueling venue became lively. More than 30 duelists entered one after another, including some classmates and couples. Most of the duelists had found their partners.
There were only a few duelists left waiting for the challenge, and someone quickly responded.
There was no connection between the twenty duels, and Lin You was not picky. He chose a couple who were dueling nearby and watched the fight.
"duel."
"duel."
The couple standing at opposite ends of the field smiled at each other and simultaneously raised their duel gloves and shouted the word "duel". As the two words fell, the obscure patterns on the surface of the duel gloves on their hands instantly activated.
Not only that, the entire venue was faintly filled with the sound of a 'sizzling' magnetic field connection, and then, it was seen that a layer of transparent light film seemed to cover the front of the couple.
This light film is the soul barrier, and the strength of the soul barrier is 2000 points.
The outcome of the duel is determined by the soul barrier of either party being reduced to zero and completely shattered, and in this way, the card duel is lost.
Before the soul barrier is broken, the duelists themselves do not need to worry about being attacked by cards, which may cause damage or even death.
This dueling arena also provides a special hidden barrier. When the duelist's soul barrier is broken, a barrier will automatically be generated to absorb subsequent damage to avoid accidents.
But Lin You, who had watched the theme movie, knew that if it was in a secret realm, the soul barrier was the absolute lifeline of the duelist. Once it was broken, it basically meant death.
