Chapter 19. Brand-New App Feature! Bullet-Comment Chat Across the Entire Duel Monsters World?
Sei Yuki rubbed his chin.
Staring at this brand-new feature, he couldn't help falling into deep thought.
Sure, scrolling videos could earn money, but since he was going to use this app anyway—
He might as well experience every feature the app had to offer, right?
Besides.
That 2,000 yuan came from the app in the first place.
Unlocking this feature wouldn't do him any harm.
After all.
He would just be using the money it gave him to unlock other functions.
Looked at this way—
It was worth unlocking to see.
"Alright, alright."
"2,000 yuan it is."
"I want to see—"
"What exactly this brand-new feature can do!"
Sei Yuki selected Confirm.
After that, 2,000 yuan was deducted from the linked bank card.
But that wasn't important.
What mattered was—
After this successful unlock, a new button labeled Duel Monsters world appeared on the app's interface.
And when he tapped it—
Sei Yuki was stunned.
Yes.
He was stunned.
...
Seto Kaiba: "What's going on? Why did the screen go black? Did it run out of content after Blue-Eyes White Dragon and HERO, and that's it?"
Yugi Muto: "Kaiba, don't worry! Maybe it needs a short interval."
Joey Wheeler: "Forget it, looks like there's nothing else to watch. I think we should get back to the KC Cup."
Mai Valentine: "Mm-hmm, I really want to know who's controlling all this content from that higher world."
...
Sei Yuki swallowed, watching the interface fill up with bullet comments popping in one after another like a chat group.
He was honestly stunned beyond stunned.
How could he not be familiar with these names?
How could he not know who these people were?
But the problem was—
Was this real or fake?
No, wait!
It had to be fake!
This was definitely other app users pretending!
What a joke!
These people were really good at playing along!
Sei Yuki: "Hey, hey, hey! I say! What are you guys pretending for? Can you show your real names?"
Sei Yuki: "Using character names from an anime—no need to be that chūni!"
Sei Yuki: "If you've got the guts, change your hair into a shamate starfish hairdo and let me have a look, huh?"
As soon as Sei Yuki finished, the Duel Monsters world was stunned too.
In the Duel Monsters world—
On the originally black screen after the HERO segment ended, Sei Yuki's two lines came through.
And precisely because of these two lines—
Every Duelist in the Duel Monsters world jolted.
Seto Kaiba's pupils shrank as he stared in shock at the black screen.
That voice?
It wasn't coming from anyone on their side.
It was coming from the one controlling video playback.
That's right.
Was it really…?
Yugi Muto shivered all over; that voice circled the sky like the voice of a god.
This was the voice of the operator from that higher world.
Joey Wheeler even twitched and immediately replied, carefully.
Joey Wheeler: "You are… who? My real name is Joey Wheeler. Also, what's an 'anime'?"
...
Main world.
Sei Yuki nearly burst out laughing at Joey Wheeler's reply.
This guy!
Even doubling down on the act? What the—this was fun!
Sei Yuki: "Yo yo! That really cracked me up."
Sei Yuki: "You're saying your real name is Joey Wheeler? Got any proof?"
...
Duel Monsters world.
Joey Wheeler nearly spat blood when he heard Sei Yuki's words.
Seriously?
He, Joey Wheeler, was right here in the flesh.
What proof did they still want?
What on earth was with this person controlling the videos?
Yugi Muto: "We have no reason to lie to you. These are our real names."
Mai Valentine: "That's right. From the sound of it, you seem like a very green little brother, hmm? Your big sis here is Mai Valentine—surely you know that?"
Weevil Underwood: "Heh heh heh! Hey, you over there! Hurry up and show me Insect content! I want to see how my Insect Queen is doing!"
Solomon Muto: "Young man from the other world, we have no reason to deceive you. This is who we truly are."
Odion: "Yes. Weren't you just watching Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and then HERO after that?"
Ishizu Ishtar: "Perhaps all of this is the arrangement of destiny."
...
Main world.
Sei Yuki furrowed his brow; now he couldn't stay calm.
If it were just one or two people pretending to be anime characters, fine.
But now, they were popping up one after another—there was no way every single person in the group was cosplaying as an anime character, right?
Moreover—
Odion had accurately stated the two short-video topics he'd watched.
That was very thought-provoking.
Just based on that, he could rule out that they were app bots.
Could it be—
This app had truly opened a door to the Duel Monsters anime world?
And through this software, he could chat with those characters?
If that were true—
Then the earlier feature description saying you could unlock duels with Duelists from the Duel Worlds would also be true?
Could he actually Duel Yugi Muto, Seto Kaiba, and many others?
The more Sei Yuki thought about it, the more absurd—downright fantastical—it felt.
What on earth was with this app?
Sei Yuki: "If you really are people from the Duel Monsters world—"
Sei Yuki: "Then answer me this: what's the next video I'm about to watch?"
After asking—
Sei Yuki found the video he wanted to watch, "Grim Eldlich Guide! Have You Learned the Disgusting Playstyle?", and entered full screen.
One minute later.
Yugi Muto: "Grim Eldlich Guide! Have You Learned the Disgusting Playstyle?"
Yugi Muto: "Is it this one?"
