"Whoa!! Is this the Duel Park?"
Exclamations of surprise echoed alongside the roar of the descending helicopter, causing quite a stir. As the helicopter dropped from above, many people immediately recognized the place. This was the Duel Park specially commissioned by Jack Ma. It was filled with monster models and various items of great commemorative value.
Previously, everyone had assumed this so called Duel Park was merely for sightseeing. Now, it finally dawned on them that this wasn't the case. Was the park actually created specifically for a Duel Battle Royale?
"This Duel Park was founded a year ago and spans over ten thousand square meters. For a battlefield with only ten people, it's indeed far too large," Ma Qingxue murmured. She hadn't expected the Duel Battle Royale to take place here.
"I forgot to tell you that this time, there won't just be ten of you. Four additional Masked Men will be participating in the battle," Instructor Du said indifferently. "Therefore, it's entirely possible that you might all be wiped out. These Masked Men all possess the strength of Professional Players. Starting with identical decks, your chances of survival are practically non-existent."
This wasn't a lie. Most of those who could beat a pro usually did so through a deck advantage; when it came to a true contest of skill, it was a completely different story.
"Now, blindfold yourselves. The staff will drop you off one by one at random locations." As Instructor Du spoke, he produced lengths of black cloth.
You Feng masked his eyes. Honestly, an opening like this was actually quite thrilling.
After a brief series of departures, it was finally You Feng's turn. He was guided by the staff to a rope and lowered from the helicopter. Once he had landed safely, a voice spoke from beside him.
"You can remove the black cloth now."
When You Feng pulled off the blindfold, he had no idea where he was. The only thing he saw was a massive stone statue of Blue-Eyes White Dragon. As mentioned before, the real world wasn't without Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes White Dragon,
but because there weren't many supporting cards available for them, it was impossible to bring out their true strength. Consequently, no one ever built decks around them.
He hadn't expected to see a statue of Blue-Eyes White Dragon here, though.
"We are currently in the armistice period, also known as the card selection phase," a staff member explained, holding two boxes. "There are two ways to receive a deck. One is to pick one of our pre-arranged racial decks. The other is to build one yourself."
"The pros and cons of both are obvious. The pre-arranged decks have a stable floor and a predictable ceiling. However, with a self-built deck, the upper and lower limits are hard to determine, meaning the risk is much higher. Which one will you choose?"
"Interesting. Personally, I prefer a bit of risk! I'll build my own!" You Feng said with a faint smile.
"Understood!" The staff member opened the other box, revealing a large number of face-down cards.
"I will draw five cards at random each time, and you will pick two of them until you have a full forty-card deck. For every five-card draw, you may declare a Type, and I will pull five random cards from that Type's pool for you," the staff member explained.
"I choose Fiend Type!" You Feng said, an idea clicking in his mind. He suddenly found this very interesting.
The pick-two-from-five rounds began immediately!
The staff member had assumed the process would be a long, drawn-out affair. To his complete surprise, You Feng picked his cards at an incredible speed. He seemed able to find the cards he needed with just a single glance.
However, just as the staff member had said, sometimes all five cards would be Rare Cards, making it agonizing to leave any behind. Conversely, there were times when all five were "trash." No matter how one chose, trash cards were bound to appear in the deck eventually.
About ten minutes later, You Feng had quietly finished his deck.
"I have a question," You Feng asked suddenly.
"Please, Mr. You Feng," the staff member nodded.
"How do you know if the others will try to slip some of their own cards into their decks?" You Feng was very concerned about this point.
"You can rest easy on that, Mr. You Feng. These cards are specially made and can only be used with the corresponding Duel Disks we provide. If anyone tries to add a different card, the Duel Disk's deck zone will automatically eject it."
"I see... Fine, you may go." You Feng opened his deck and began reorganizing it.
"This starting deck isn't weak at all!" A flash of satisfaction appeared in You Feng's eyes. Although there were a few trash cards, in a Fiend Type deck, even trash cards had their uses.
"Aaaaahhh!!!!"
Suddenly, a scream of agony rang out from not far away. You Feng's eyes instantly sharpened as he looked toward the sound.
