Yu-Gi-Oh!: Zero-frame starter with a laugh! You dodge?

Chapter 23. Duel with the Millionaire!! Challenger: Youfeng!

Youfeng's ears twitched slightly, and he glanced to the side.

At the edge of the crowd, a slender white figure stood quietly beside a spice stall.

She wore a light, pristine, moon-white long gauze dress, her face covered with a matching veil, revealing only a pair of clear, autumn-water-like eyes that seemed to reflect the depths of one's soul.

She stood tall and graceful, with an ethereal air, completely out of place with the bustling atmosphere of the city. She was like a dewdrop that had accidentally fallen into the mortal world, or a ethereal saint who should not have appeared here.

She seemed to have noticed You Feng's gaze as well. Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, meeting his gaze only briefly before looking away naturally, as if the soft laugh had not come from her and she had not noticed the little farce unfolding here.

But You Feng could sense that the gaze lingered on him for a moment, carrying a faint, almost imperceptible interest.

You Feng didn't bother to say anything more to them, so he casually waved to them and turned to leave.

After saying that, he walked straight in the direction the boy pointed.

The boys had originally intended to leave.

But Youfeng's actions suddenly made them not want to leave.

Everyone enjoys watching a spectacle.

Not to mention, they also wanted to see if this guy was truly skilled or just bragging.

You Feng squeezed through the crowd, and sure enough, a rather conspicuous large blue tent appeared ahead, several times larger than the surrounding stalls and sheds. A bright, magical light screen sign stood at the entrance, scrolling through dazzling text:

【Duel 100% - Trial of Wisdom】

Challenge the limits of your dueling knowledge!

Pass the assessment and win a generous amount of Dragon Coins!

Registration fee: 10000 Dragon Coins/time.

Limited opportunities! Want to become a millionaire? Start today!

A crowd had gathered at the entrance of the tent, mostly pointing and discussing, but very few people actually stepped forward to pay and register.

There was a table at the entrance of the tent, behind which sat a middle-aged man wearing a monocle who looked like an accountant, yawning boredly.

As the wind approached, he could hear the discussions among the onlookers.

"Another one went in. Just watch, he'll be out in less than ten minutes."

"That guy from Dragonscale Village, wasn't he pretty arrogant? He went in for eight minutes!"

"Tsk tsk, 10,000 dragon coins! That's enough for my family to eat for half a year. They really have money to burn."

"I heard the questions are all advanced dueling theories taught only in big cities or even colleges. Who in our area could possibly understand them?"

"I think it's just a gimmick to scam registration fees!"

You Feng stood outside the crowd, his gaze sweeping over the illuminated sign and the somewhat deserted registration area, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

A test of knowledge of dueling theory?

It sounds a bit like an advanced rule test of the card games he played in his previous life, or a competitive quiz show.

People in this world will come up with all sorts of ideas when it comes to making money.

but……

Youfeng touched the thick stack of dragon coin deed in his arms.

He was worried about not having a place to test his understanding of the Yu-Gi-Oh! rules of this world and how different they were from the local theoretical system.

This place seems to have come at the perfect time.

He parted the crowd and, under the watchful eyes of those around him—some curious, some surprised, some gloating—walked to the registration table.

"Register." You Feng placed 10,000 dragon coins on the table, his voice calm.

The accountant raised his eyelids, sized him up, and without asking any questions, promptly took the money and handed over a wooden number plate engraved with numbers and a notice covered with densely written small characters.

"Once inside, put on a mask. There is no time limit for the assessment, but the total number of questions is fixed at twenty. You will automatically fail if you answer even one question incorrectly. You can give up at any time. The fee is non-refundable once you start."

The accountant finished speaking quickly in a flat tone, then lowered his head again, as if he didn't care about the result at all.

You Feng picked up the number plate and instructions, and amidst the buzzing discussions behind him, lifted the tent flap and went inside.

Wearing a mask is a very serious matter.

After all, you should know that the total prize pool is one million Dragon Coins.

If someone were to actually acquire that much, they would likely be easily murdered and robbed.

Therefore, it is necessary to wear a mask to ensure safety.

Like the lottery in that world.

"Interesting..." You Feng rubbed his fingers together, a hint of eagerness flashing in his eyes.

He put on a gold mask.

Upon entering, I found a host already seated and waiting for some time.

There were many seated spectators around, including quite a few Western nobles.

Clearly, this is not only for people from the four villages, but also for Western nobles from the surrounding areas who come to join in the fun.

Perhaps Arya is one of them.

"Welcome to the new challenger!"

"Please have a seat!"

"I am the host, Huang Yixiao."

The host was a very handsome young man who always had a smile on his face.

"Our questions will be randomly selected from the main pool, totaling twenty questions. The prize money for each question will accumulate. If you answer incorrectly, you will lose all the prize money and be eliminated. If you choose to give up, you can collect your prize money and leave."

"You still have four tricks up your sleeve: halve the amount, ask for help, and add one minute to your time by making a phone call."

"Is that clear?"

You Feng nodded calmly, without saying anything more.

But deep down he thought to himself.

Good heavens, isn't this guy a millionaire?

Huang Yixiao smiled slightly: "Looks like the challenger is still the aloof one."

"Then without further ado, let's begin the duel of 100%!"

[Duel 100% Knowledge Test]

Question 1 (500 Dragon Coins): Please determine whether the following scenario is compliant. 30 seconds to think.

If we have a face-up [Light Seal Sword] on our field, under what circumstances can the Light Seal Sword become ineffective?

A: [Royal Palace Announcement] The occasion in which one is present.

B: [Royal commands] The occasion in which one is present.

C: [Royal decree] The occasion in which one is present.

D: .....

"C!" You Feng gave his answer before Huang Yixiao could even finish speaking.

Huang Yixiao was slightly taken aback.

He's seen geniuses before, but it's rare to see someone answer first.

Only someone with 100% confidence in their answer can achieve this level of performance.

However, among the four villages, very few young people have this kind of experience and confidence in their card skills; at the very least, they would play it safe and wait until the card is finished before thinking about it further.

"Are you sure?" Huang smiled.

You Feng frowned and said, "The host shouldn't ask 'Are you sure?' anymore. It's a waste of my time. Once I give an answer, I won't change it."

Huang Yixiao was shocked again. What kind of confidence was this?

The audience was somewhat in an uproar.

Some people think he's pretentious, while others think he's cool and handsome.

"Okay, okay!"

"Congratulations on your correct answer, you've earned 500."

"Before reaching 10000 Dragon Coins, they won't ask if you want to leave with the money, since no one would leave at a loss."

"Then please listen to the next question."

Huang Yixiao also became interested in the guy in front of him.

Among the audience, several people became interested in You Feng's identity.
