Chapter 163 But This Is the World of Card Playing
Haima Entertainment Group headquarters building, data center.
A programmer in a white coat pushed up his slightly slipped glasses. Sitting in front of the screen and working for a long time made his neck feel a little sore, and he twisted it left and right.
First, he looked behind him to make sure there was no one. Programmer A, who was in a fishing state, was bored and asked his colleague, programmer B, "Have you sorted out the data over there?"
"Huh? It's still far away." Hearing this, the programmer B who was being spoken to also turned around to make sure no one was behind him. After confirming that no one was looking at him, he took his hands off the keyboard and looked at While moving his wrist, he replied, "The data verification of the new cards released by the International Illusion Society a while ago is a big project."
"Even if I am only responsible for a small part of it, I will have to work overtime for at least a week before I can hope to finish it."
It's almost ten o'clock in the evening, and they are the only two people in the data center who have not yet got off work. Programmer A works the night shift, while Programmer B chooses to enjoy double benefits because of excessive work. Pay overtime.
"Hey, it's really hard work." Programmer A has also had the experience of facing a huge amount of work, so he can sympathize with Programmer B's situation, "And I remember to keep a separate copy of the code to prevent fakes. Isn’t that right? It’s a huge project.”
Programmer B had a helpless expression on his face: "There is no way, after all, this kind of work must be entered one by one manually. The difference between the International Illusion Society's descriptions of the card effects is a world of difference. Wasn't there someone there last time? I wanted to use AI to automatically handle laziness, but I ended up with a bug where [Earth Fissure] could be summoned as a monster?"
"It's the new employee from the team next door, right? I remember it." Programmer A seemed to have heard about the accident mentioned by his colleague, "He was obviously a graduate of Dongda University and finally joined the group, because After that slacking off, it became harder to get promoted.”
"That guy is lucky. At least the bug was controlled before it leaked out. Otherwise, the team next door and even our entire department might have had their performance deducted."
Programmer B had a helpless expression on his face, "So this kind of work can't be done lazily and manually. And looking at the popular posture of Duel Monsters now, it won't be a problem if it continues to be popular for decades, and it will definitely be the same in the future. The work of entering cards is indispensable, and I am mentally prepared.”
"Then you are really open-minded." Programmer A smiled, "My luck is much better than yours. As long as I save the card data detected on the duel disks specially marked by the president in time. Just come down, it seems like Muto Yugi, Kobayashi Hayato, and Jonouchi Katsuya? They are all well-known duelists."
"Although there are almost no holidays, the work is very easy. However, the overtime wages are not as high as yours."
Programmer B shrugged: "Come on, the benefits of Kaiba Group are among the best in Japan. Even if there is no overtime pay, your monthly money will definitely not be much less. Besides, you won't talk about it anyway. When it comes to love, wouldn’t it be nice if your salary is enough?”
"Hmph, what's wrong?" Programmer A showed a silly smile, "Next month the International Illusion Society seems to be releasing a set of female Duel Monster figures including [Dark Magician Girl]. As for the box, I don’t have much confidence in my luck. In order to open it to my wife, the more salary reserves the better!”
Looking at his colleagues who suddenly became passionate, Programmer B felt a little ashamed: "Really, I remember every time when we were working on the blind box set, there were second-hand dealers on the market who would directly sell the opened blind boxes. Buy them directly. [Dark Magician Girl] is fine. Although it’s more expensive than the normal price, it’s still cheaper than buying multiple ones, isn’t it?”
"What do you know? Only by opening boxes one by one can I express my deep and exclusive love for [Dark Magician Girl]. And I heard that this time there seems to be new card monsters that will be released next time." Figures are also mixed in, and I really want that too.”
Programmer A said confidently.
Just when Programmer B wanted to complain about his companion who had just said that he was devoted to [Dark Magician Girl], but then immediately fell in love with a new duel monster, the two of them were behind the scenes. Suddenly there was a voice that made them tremble with fright:
"Hey, you two——"
"!" "!"
Because they completely forgot to pay attention to what was behind them while chatting, AB and AB immediately recognized who the owner of the voice was, and their bodies instantly became stiff, and their hands and feet felt a little cold. Turning around slowly, the two people who had been caught looking at Kaiba appeared in the data center and said fearfully: "President Kaiba!"
"What should I do if the president catches me fishing during work hours?" Waiting online, urgent! 》
You must know that in Japan, job hunting is not as good as in other countries. Once you join a certain club group to work here, the work is usually a lifetime matter, and you will be bound to the group you work for. Even if you leave your job to find another career, other groups will not give you good treatment because you have resigned.
On the contrary, ordinary small mistakes within your group will not cause you to resign, but they will inevitably affect your future promotion. The two programmers also had the idea of climbing up, so they were inevitably very nervous in front of Kaiba at this moment.
But luckily, Kaiba didn't care that he caught the two of them fishing and chatting.
After getting two cards from Becas, Kaiba took his beloved Blue Eyes Jet back to the Kaiba Group headquarters building in Doshino City overnight, and went straight to the data center as soon as he came back.
"You two, record the data of one card each for me." Kaiba ordered the two of them. As he spoke, he walked to an unused computer in the data center, took out the cards he had taken from Becas, and inserted them into a device similar to a card reader.
The card data was transmitted to the computers of the two programmers via the card reader by Kaiba, waiting for manual processing of the data. Kaiba said, "In addition, the previously simulated me playing against Kobayashi Hayato and Muto Yugi The data is also transferred out.”
"yes!"
Hearing that the president only ordered them to work and did not reprimand themselves, the two programmers who were frightened naturally did not mention the previous things again, and quickly started to operate, and controlled two files from the past. The data is projected onto the big screen in the data center.
The image that first appeared in Kaiba's field of vision simulated his battle with the game, and after a long period of pulling, it turned into his own invincible [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] blessed by the [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] ], the screen of the battle against [Super Mage - Black Mage Disciple] on the game field.
The full resistance granted by [True Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon] allowed [Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon] to ignore the [Holy Shield - Power of Reflector -] activated by the game and destroy the attack of [Super Mage - Black Mage Disciple]. The basic points of the game were therefore reduced to only 200 points.
Although the destroyed [Super Mage - Black Magician Disciple] special summoned [Dark Magician] and [Dark Magician Girl] from the game graveyard, Kaiba also had the invincible [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] standing on the field, and The basic score is also 2,000 points, which is ten times that of the game.
But in this case, the game actually summoned [Slingshot Turtle] through [Dark Magician Girl] as a sacrifice, and used [Black Magic Guide Continuous Bullet] to increase the attack power of [Black Magic] At 4500 points, kill yourself with one shot by liberating [Black Magician]!
The familiar killing method made Kaiba's face look extremely ugly. After all, he had experienced the same method of defeat countless times with Hayato. This unsatisfactory aura was like a real existence, oppressing the two programs who lowered their heads and pretended to be transparent. member.
The content of the duel with Hayato was played next.
Although Kaiba has read the data of some of Hayato's new cards such as [Ryuuki Takumi] and [Dragon Maid] through the chip installed on Hayato's duel disk, in Kaiba's view, Hayato's strongest cards are not these. , but his most trusted [Gaia] deck.
Because of the idea of defeating the opponent in the strongest state, Kaiba set Hayato's duel data to use the "Gaia" deck that added "Three Phantom Gods", although it also included "Rainbow Chestnut Ball". There were other cards that Hayato often had, but Kaiba's most disdainful card, [Disruption], was deliberately eliminated by him.
In the simulated duel scene, Kaiba gained the upper hand with the power of [Blue Eyes] one after another, but Hayato also relied on [Gaia]'s special summoning ability and [Super Fusion] to counterattack, and after a few rounds He even summoned the [Obelisk's Titan Soldier] that he won from Kaiba on the field.
After being taken away by Hayato in the finals of Duel City, [Obelisk's Titan Weapon], although Kaiba recognized the idea of winning and losing, he was still very angry. Not only was he unhappy that Hayato had once again become the leader. His attitude took away the victory, and he was also angry that he had suffered another humiliating defeat.
More importantly, Kaiba really likes the God card [Obelisk's Giant Divine Weapon], even though Isis, Malik, and Hayato know the "Three Illusion Gods" quite well. Everyone has said that [Ra's Winged Dragon] is the strongest card among the "Three Fantasy Gods", but if Kaiba was given the choice, he might be more willing to get [Obelisk].
It has nothing to do with "feelings" such as it being the first God Card he got. It's purely because Kaiba has some natural familiarity with [Obelisk]. Although it's not as good as [Blue Eyes], using it It was quite easy to pick up [Obelisk], so I was very unhappy after losing it.
On the other hand, because Hayato has one more God Card, but he has one less God Card, this change in strength gap is also one of the reasons why Kaiba is unhappy.
However, after Duel City, Kaiba also had several private duels with Hayato. Although Hayato teased him for being like a shy girl, Kaiba believed that he was sure of defeating Hayato. Before the duel between the two, no one else had. Qualified to watch.
During these duels, Hayato asked Kaiba a question - "Seto Kaiba", a duelist, what is his strongest trump card?
At that time, Kaiba was still worried about the fact that [Obelisk] was won by Hayato, so he answered frankly that it was [Obelisk], but Hayato judged that the answer was wrong, and he did not ask Kaiba again after that.
Looking at [Obelisk] standing on the ground in the picture, although Kaiba has never answered Hayato again, he actually already has the answer in his heart.
Watching the two fists of [Obelisk], which activated its special effect at the expense of two monsters, crush [Blue-Eyes Ultra Dragon], Kaiba watched in silence as his base points on the screen became 0.
At the same time, the two programmers also completed the manual entry of card data. Haima briefly edited his own card set data and incorporated the data of the two cards into it, and then started the simulation again.
In the picture, the duel between Hayato and Kaiba begins again.
‘Although [Obelisk] is quite powerful, that power ultimately belongs to the past and is not suitable for me who needs to move towards the future. ’
‘What is Seto Kaiba’s trump card? Now I have an undisputed answer, that is [Blue Eyes]. My trump card, my glory, and my soul is [Blue Eyes White Dragon]. ’
'However, this does not mean that I have given up on [Obelisk]. Just wait until I take back [Obelisk] from you with my new attitude of [Blue Eyes], Hayato! ’
After seeing himself banishing [Obelisk's Titan Soldier] with the card he got from Bekas, and using another [Blue Eye] to take away Hayato's last basic points like a candle in the wind, Even Kaiba, who always had a cold face, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
"Hmph, hehe, hahahaha!"
"This power really did not disappoint me. It seems that it is finally time to end this entangled fate!"
Kaiba pulled out two cards from the card reader and glanced at the two programmers who were cautiously beside him. Because he was in a good mood, he didn't pursue their thoughts and just walked out of the data center proudly: "Now It’s okay, you can continue working.”
As he walked, Haima also retrieved the previously used equity transfer agreement through his personal terminal and re-edited it, but he modified some of the details.
‘Just use this and let Yugi and Hayato duel me. 'Haima walked into the elevator leading to the top floor and looked through the glass at a large industrial park in the distance. A piece of land there was contracted by Haima Group, and on the cliff at the end, there was a building similar to KC Cup. A building very similar to the Kaiba Dome has been completed, 'right there, become the strongest duelist! ’
One of the cards placed in his arms lit up with an unknown red light, but the other card seemed to be guarding the seahorse, trying hard to control the red light and not affect the seahorse.
Thanks to the 200 points from the book friend "Wolf King Yabo", thank you
Thanks for the 1100 points from the book friend "A Big Salted Fish 2333". Thank you very much.
There are more monthly passes every time at the end of the month, and there seems to be a double monthly pass event recently.
However, I still want to recommend it.
