Yu-Gi-Oh!: Ultimate Duelist

The night was as dark as ink, with bright stars dotting the sky. The hustle and bustle of the city became even more lively in the food stalls at night. The food stalls were brightly lit and filled with smoke.

The laughter of people, the clashing of pots and pans, and the sizzling of grease dripping from the barbecue grill are intertwined together, playing a melody of life full of the flavor of life.

Lin Hao, Liu Feng, Hu Xiaojun and Zhou Siqiang sat around a table in a food stall. The table was filled with all kinds of delicious food. Now they were full of food and drink, so they began to talk freely.

Liu Feng's face was filled with emotion, his eyes showing envy. He said, "I never thought that among the four of us, Haozi, you would be the first to become a duelist. Your luck is really enviable."

Lin Hao humbly waved his hand and replied with a smile, "It's not luck at all. I just happened to have enough cards and completed the challenge, so I was lucky enough to become a duelist."

Liu Feng sighed softly, a hint of disappointment in his voice, and said, "Alas, your luck is so good that it makes me jealous. I look forward to becoming a duelist every day, but I just don't have that opportunity."

Zhou Siqiang also nodded, his eyes full of admiration for Lin Hao, and said: "Yes, Haozi, you are a big step ahead of us. You have to teach us more in the future."

Lin Hao smiled brightly and said, "There's nothing to teach me. I was just a blind cat that caught a dead mouse. Don't worry, take your time, there will always be a chance."

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaojun sighed helplessly, "I only have twenty-nine cards in my deck right now, which is still a bit off."

Zhou Siqiang quickly encouraged him, "That's not bad. If you keep working hard, you'll soon be able to gather all the cards you need for your deck."

Hu Xiaojun said with a frown, "How can it be that easy? I've been saving for a long time, and I'm still short of more than a dozen cards."

Liu Feng patted Hu Xiaojun on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. Maybe one day you will pick up a dozen cards."

Hu Xiaojun smiled bitterly and said, "You only know how to comfort me. How can such a good thing happen?"

Liu Feng's face showed a trace of frustration. He said, "I feel like I won't be able to become a Duelist in this lifetime. My family is not well off and we don't have the money to buy cards. Unlike you guys, there's still some hope."

Lin Hao hurriedly said, "Fengzi, don't be so negative. You still have a long life ahead of you."

Zhou Siqiang also echoed: "That's right, Fengzi, don't give up so quickly. Look, Haozi can succeed, so can we."

Liu Feng shook his head and said, "You don't know, my family's situation... Alas, it's not like yours."

Lin Hao said seriously: "So what if the conditions are not good? A duel can't be won by money. As long as you have the strength, you can still become a duelist."

Hu Xiaojun also said, "That's right, Fengzi, don't be so pessimistic. We can work together to find a solution."

After hearing this, Liu Feng's eyes lit up with hope again. He laughed and said, "Haha, that's true. Although my family is not well off and I don't have the money to buy cards, who knows what will happen in the future."

Zhou Siqiang nodded and said firmly, "My family's financial situation doesn't allow me to buy cards. However, I believe that I can become a duelist in the future."

Lin Hao raised the cup on the table and said proudly: "Come, let's drink to our future!"

"Okay, cheers!"

"cheers"

The sounds of "Cheers" came one after another.

Liu Feng looked at Lin Hao and said seriously, "Haozi, I really didn't expect you to be so strong. Tan Cheng is ranked fifth in duel strength in our grade, and today you defeated Song Wen, who is ranked sixth. Once is luck, twice is strength."

It turned out that a classmate took a photo of Lin Hao defeating Song Wen today and posted it on the school's forum, so Liu Feng and others soon knew about it.

Lin Hao waved his hand and said with a relaxed look: "After all, their strength is just like that, not very strong, it was easy to defeat them."

Hu Xiaojun asked curiously, "Haozi, did you find the simulation challenge today difficult?"

Lin Hao smiled easily and said, "As long as we can survive their attack, it will be easy."

Hu Xiaoluo was surprised and said, "Really? I heard from some friends that it's very difficult. They are always beaten without any chance to fight back."

Zhou Siqiang also said: "Yeah, I heard it's difficult too. Haozi, do you have any tips?"

Lin Hao thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there's no special technique. You just need to stay calm, analyze your opponent's deck and tactics, and then find the flaws. Also, you need to trust your own deck and don't give up easily."

Liu Feng sighed, "It sounds reasonable, but it's not easy to do."

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Just practice slowly. Don't be anxious, just take it one step at a time."

Then, Lin Hao asked curiously, "By the way, you guys talk about the school's duelist rankings every day. Who's ranked first in our grade?"

Liu Feng and the others immediately held their foreheads and said speechlessly: "No way, you don't even know this?"

Lin Hao said with a confused look on his face: "Should I know?"

Liu Feng said: "Of course you know it, you know it."

Zhou Siqiang continued, "You two are quite familiar with each other."

Hu Xiaojun smiled and said, "We meet almost every day."

Lin Hao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Could it be one of you four?"

Liu Feng said speechlessly: "Forget it, I guess you can't guess it."

Zhou Siqiang nodded and said, "It's our squad leader, Huang Yao."

Lin Hao said in surprise: "No way, she doesn't look like a strong duelist."

Liu Feng said with a strange look on his face: "Haozi, don't talk nonsense. The squad leader's strength is very impressive, isn't it?"

Hu Xiaojun also said: "Yes, Haozi, don't underestimate the squad leader. She is very powerful."

Zhou Siqiang's face flushed as he said excitedly, "If you ask me, our class monitor, besides being number one in the grade, is also the strongest duelist in our school."

Lin Hao thought about it for a moment, but the original owner had no memory of this. He guessed that Liu Feng and the others might have made it up, so he said disapprovingly: "If it's really that powerful, how could I not know it. But I guess no matter how powerful it is, its strength is just like that."

Hu Xiaojun said, "Haozi, don't disbelieve me. The squad leader's dueling skills are amazing. Her deck is also very powerful."

Liu Feng also said: "Yes, Haozi. If you duel with the squad leader, you will definitely lose miserably."

Zhou Siqiang said: "I think if the squad leader participates in the national competition, he will definitely win the championship."
