Yu-Gi-Oh!: Ultimate Duelist

The next morning, golden sunlight fell on the earth like a veil, covering everything in the world with a layer of warm glow.

Lin Hao slowly woke up, feeling the sunlight sneaking into the room through the gaps in the window, and a sense of tranquility and comfort welled up in his heart.

He slowly stood up, stretched, and then opened the door.

Instantly, a faint aroma of food wafted into the air, and on the table in the hall were steaming porridge, golden and crispy fried dough sticks, and other things.

Lin Hao knew at a glance that this must be the result of his mother getting up early in the morning and working hard.

Lin Hao's lips curled up slightly, his heart filled with emotion. He tiptoed to the bathroom, ready to wash up and greet the new day in the best condition.

When the cool water splashed on his face, Lin Haoden felt refreshed. After washing up, he returned to the hall, sat at the table, and began to enjoy the breakfast carefully prepared by his mother.

The warmth of the porridge and the crispiness of the fried dough sticks intertwined in his mouth, giving his taste buds great satisfaction.

Just when Lin Hao was eating with gusto, he suddenly heard a series of rapid knocks on the door.

He frowned slightly, put down the dishes in his hands, stood up and went to open the door.

The door slowly opened, and the first thing I saw was a young and beautiful girl with short hair. Her eyes were bright and lively, as if she was full of endless energy and vitality.

Lin Hao was slightly stunned, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and asked: "Who are you?"

The short-haired girl was also taken aback when she heard this, with a surprised expression on her face: "No way, I haven't seen you for just a few days, and you don't recognize me."

Lin Hao frowned, lost in thought. After a moment, he finally gained some information from the original owner's memory.

It turned out that the girl in front of him was his sister's best friend and close friend Chen Siyu.

Lin Hao quickly found an excuse and said, "Oh, it's Xiaoyu. They say girls change a lot when they grow up. I feel like you've become more beautiful. I didn't even recognize you."

Chen Siyu chuckled, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing two cute dimples: "When did Brother Hao become so slick?"

Lin Hao said helplessly, "What's with all the slick talk? I'm just being honest. Your short hair style really suits you, making you look especially playful and cute. Besides, I haven't seen you these past few days, and your temperament has changed."

Chen Siyu's cheeks flushed slightly: "Brother Hao is good at making people happy. I just cut my short hair, and I was worried that it wouldn't look good."

Lin Hao quickly said, "How can it not look good? It's very energetic. By the way, why did you come to see Xiaoxue so early in the morning?"

Chen Siyu replied: "We agreed to go out together, but she's still sleeping in."

Lin Hao nodded: "Don't you know Xiaoxue? She gets up later than anyone else during the holidays."

At this moment, a sinister voice came from behind Lin Hao. "Who are you calling the child?"

Lin Xue had come behind Lin Hao without him noticing. She crossed her arms over her chest and spoke with gritted teeth.

Lin Hao suddenly felt like he was caught speaking ill of someone behind their back, and quickly said, "They say an elder brother is like a father. No matter how old you are, you are still a child in my eyes."

Lin Hao silently gave a thumbs up to his own excuse.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xue didn't appreciate it. She snorted coldly and said, "Oh, Lin Hao, you are so good. You are only two years older than me, but you dare to act like an elder in front of me."

Lin Hao immediately gave in and said helplessly: "Alright, alright, I admit defeat, isn't it okay for me to be your little brother?"

Lin Xue instantly revealed a victorious smile and said with a grin, "You said you would be my little brother today."

Lin Hao immediately felt that something was wrong and quickly corrected him: "What do you mean today? It's ten seconds."

Lin Xue, on the other hand, acted like a scoundrel, shaking his head like a rattle and saying, "I don't care, I don't care. You didn't say how long you'd be my younger brother. I didn't say one year, ten years, just one day. Do you still have the heart to refuse?"

Lin Hao thought about it and could only say helplessly: "Okay, but Lin Xiaoxue, don't go too far."

Lin Xue laughed and said, "Don't worry, brother. Just take us to White Dragon Paradise today."

Hearing this, Lin Hao asked curiously, "White Dragon Paradise? Is it an amusement park?"

Lin Xue said helplessly: "No way, you don't even know about such a big thing."

Lin Hao shrugged: "I've been busy recently and haven't paid much attention to these. Then tell me about it."

Lin Xue continued, "This is the largest Blue-Eyes White Dragon theme park in our country. It has all sorts of thrilling rides, as well as numerous Blue-Eyes White Dragon exhibits and performances. I heard the roller coaster is especially thrilling, and there's also a giant Blue-Eyes White Dragon statue. It's truly spectacular."

Lin Hao immediately asked curiously, "Oh, it's the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon'. Does the developer like this monster very much?"

Lin Xue rolled her eyes and said, "You're a Duelist, but you haven't even heard of the Xia Group."

At this time, Chen Siyu added, "Xia Changqing, the chairman of the Xia Group, is a Nine-Star Duelist. He's said to have duelled with many Duelist Kings and is incredibly powerful. He's also obsessed with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which is why he built this theme park. I also heard that there are some special areas within this park that only true Duelist masters can enter."

Lin Hao nodded when he heard this, a wave of admiration welling up in his heart: "That's really impressive. But, this White Dragon Paradise must be very expensive, right?"

Lin Xue waved her hand. "That's not all that bad. We can look for some deals online. Besides, it's rare to find such a fun place, so the price tag is definitely worth it. Maybe we can even run into some powerful duelists there."

Lin Hao thought for a moment and said, "Well, since you want to go, let's go and take a look. However, we need to prepare before we go."

Lin Xue said excitedly, "Okay, okay, I'm going to bring my camera and take lots of beautiful photos. And my sunglasses are definitely great for taking photos."

Chen Siyu also said: "I'm going to bring some snacks with me, in case we get tired. Oh, and bring some sunscreen, otherwise we'll get tanned."

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Then I will be responsible for being your bodyguard and leading the way. I hope this White Dragon Paradise will not disappoint us."

Lin Xue suddenly thought of something: "Brother, do you think we will meet any celebrities in the park? I heard that sometimes celebrities go there to play."

Lin Hao shook his head: "It's hard to say, but even if you encounter it, don't get too excited."

Chen Siyu smiled and said, "If I really meet a celebrity, I'd be so lucky. Maybe I could even take a photo with him."

Lin Xue said longingly, "Yes, yes, it would be great if I could meet the celebrity I like."

Lin Hao looked at their excited expressions and smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, don't just think about the stars, hurry up and get ready."
