God? Obelisk the Tormentor? Youye looked at her and asked in return.
"Yes." Ouyang Yanyan nodded, then lowered her head apologetically.
"I can guarantee it's not because of the previous incident. He's not approaching you for trouble."
"He didn't say exactly what he wants. Only that if you're willing to meet him, I should inform the people at the Inspection Bureau and have them deliver his Original Card to you."
"…Alright. Tell Obelisk to wait for my answer tomorrow."
You thought for a moment, but didn't accept immediately.
A spirit with a Divine Rank had warned him before:
If he ever came into contact with another divine-ranked spirit, he should ask her first.
Because of that, the God Egg was the only card in his hand for which he had the original but no standard version.
Of course, the more important reason was—he wasn't in a rush.
If Obelisk wanted to approach him now, he could take the chance to ask whether the spirit had been helping him during the Dark Duel.
"No problem!"
Ouyang Yanyan immediately nodded and, after speaking, naturally followed behind Mu Ning like a small subordinate.
"Later, pay close attention to how the shop is arranged. Don't embarrass yourself by not knowing where things are when customers come."
The moment she followed a few steps, Youye's voice came.
Hearing that, Ouyang Yanyan froze—
Then her face bloomed with joy.
She wasn't stupid.
This meant—
Youye was acknowledging her as his契约-bound servant!
"Thank you, Lord Youye! From today—no, from this moment on—I, Ouyang Yanyan, am your blade.
Whoever you want stabbed, I'll stab!"
"If you want to show loyalty, it's too early."
Youye's voice continued calmly:
"After we sign the Duel Contract later, I'll teach you the Snake-Eye decklist and formulas.
After you master Snake-Eye, I'll add Manadome Snake-Eye and Snake-Eye Fire King."
"I'll use your Master Duel ranking as your evaluation.
Starting point: King Rank.
If you don't reach it, I'll kick you out."
"You should already understand what happens to someone bound by a Duel Rule Contract who gets expelled, right?"
"I know. I will do everything to become your strongest servant!"
Ouyang Yanyan answered without hesitation.
She understood—
This was Youye putting all consequences on the table.
And also giving her one last opportunity.
If she backed down now, the arrangement would be canceled.
But "starting at King rank" or "being abandoned after signing the Contract"—
Were these reasons to retreat?
No.
Not even close.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime turning point.
Backing down now would be something she'd regret forever.
If she failed and was kicked out, then she was too weak.
It would be her own incompetence—not Youye's fault.
Youye looked back and saw her firm expression and nodded in satisfaction.
Her personality test—passed.
The rest depended on her talent.
A little lacking, he could accept.
Too lacking—impossible.
Even if the entire Zeng Family's resources were handed to him, he would never waste them raising trash.
If one is capable, they are capable.
If not, then they are not.
Simple.
After that, Youye and Ouyang Yanyan signed the Duel Contract, and then he taught her the Snake-Eye formulas.
Then he took the two girls around the shop to inspect whether the interior matched his blueprint.
He wasn't surprised externally.
Internally—completely shocked.
On the outside, the building didn't seem to have changed much.
But inside, it was an entirely different world.
Break rooms, duel rooms, tea stations—everything was fully equipped.
Even high-end devices that he hadn't expected were installed.
If he hadn't been the one who designed the layout himself, he would've suspected walking into the wrong place.
After they finished the tour, two people arrived.
The head of the Mo Family—Mo Wang.
And a beautifully dressed girl.
"Youye-senpai, I've come."
Mo Wang quickly stepped forward. "This is my eldest daughter, Mo Yun, field: P.U.N.K."
Mo Yun placed her hands in front of her abdomen, bowed elegantly, and spoke with curiosity and respect:
"Greetings, senior. I am Mo Yun. Please guide me."
"Come in. Sit wherever you like," Youye smiled.
P.U.N.K. was a good-looking theme.
It had even been memed as cyber femboys before the officials confirmed—
They're girls.
"No need to sit. I came early, hoping the senior could adjust her deck first."
Mo Wang took out four gold Original Cards and handed them to Youye.
You understood.
Coming early was an excuse.
With only four cards, he feared someone else would seize the chance before him.
But Youye didn't expose him.
To him, whoever gave cards—same result.
He examined them:
Forbidden Droplet
Dingirsu, the Orcust of the Evening Star
Triple Tactics Talent
Worldsea Dragon Zealantis
"You're willing to give up TTT?"
Three of the cards didn't surprise Youye—they were useful but not irreplaceable.
But Triple Tactics Talent was different.
It was always high-value.
Mo Wang actually gave the Original Card away.
"Nothing I could do. Without TTT, the senior wouldn't help refine her deck."
Mo Wang smiled bitterly.
He didn't want to give it.
But Youye's emergence would change the entire power landscape of Hang City.
If they didn't cling tightly now, they might as well wait to die.
So, last night the entire Mo Family voted—
Mo Yun would carry all their hopes.
"P.U.N.K.… With pure P.U.N.K., reaching Heaven Rank is easy.
But anything above that becomes difficult."
Youye recalled the theme's strength—
More accurately, he recalled the Executioner.
"Eh? Pure P.U.N.K. can reach Heaven Rank?
Then why am I stuck at Profound Rank, unable to reach Earth Rank?"
Mo Yun was stunned.
Pure P.U.N.K. could reach Heaven Rank, yet she was stuck at Profound?
Mo Wang felt both joy and regret.
Heaven Rank seed—secured.
But… they gave away TTT for something "not very valuable"?
As for taking the cards back—
No way. He'd rather die.
"I meant main-deck pure P.U.N.K. Don't misunderstand."
You corrected it immediately.
But seeing the two still confused, he glanced at Ouyang Yanyan.
"Alright then. Mo Yun, duel Yanyan in Master Duel.
Yanyan, use pure Snake-Eye. Don't use the Diabellstar engine."
"Understood."
Yanyan had no opinion.
Mo Yun did—
She had researched P.U.N.K. thoroughly. A full combo into two Level 11 bosses was nothing.
But remembering Youye's strength and her family's expectations, she stayed silent.
Giving up her objection didn't mean giving up her pride.
If Youye defeated her—that was normal.
But Ouyang Yanyan? With only a main-deck boss of 3000 ATK?
Impossible.
Why did she know Snake-Eye Dragon's attack stat?
Because she had dueled Yanyan before.
As long as Yanyan didn't use Obelisk, Mo Yun could win casually.
Unlike Bai Yun'er or Ouyang Yanyan before becoming a servant—
Mo Yun actually knew how to play her deck.Bai Yun'er (8000 LP) vs. Mo Yun (8000 LP)Master Duel
The rules let Mo Yun choose, so she picked first turn.
Opening hands drawn. The duel starts.
"I Normal Summon Noh-P.U.N.K. Ze Amin, activate its effect—pay 600 LP, search Noh-P.U.N.K. Foxy Tune.
Foxy Tune effect, send itself and a card—special summon Gagaku-P.U.N.K. Sharakusai from the deck.
Sharakusai effect—pay 600 LP—Fusion Summon using Sharakusai and Ze Amin:
Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Rising Carp."
(We'll skip to the final board.)
P.U.N.K. Jam Extreme Session (face-up)
Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Amazing Dragon
Joruri-P.U.N.K. Dangerous Gabu (set)
Yorishiro-P.U.N.K. Madam Spider
Youye nodded slightly.
For someone who had just gotten into the field, this was good.
But the fact that she was still stuck at Profound Rank meant something was wrong.
Seeing Bai Yun'er and Ouyang Yanyan before, he kept his expectations low.
"I activate Noh-P.U.N.K. Ogre Dance in hand—tribute Madam Spider to special summon it from hand.
Then, Amazing Dragon revives Sharakusai.
I tune Level 3 Sharakusai with Level 8 Ogre Dance—
Come forth, second Amazing Dragon!"
Youye: …
P.U.N.K. duelists in this world never disappointed—
In all the wrong ways.
"You know Amazing Dragon is hard once per turn, right?"
You finally couldn't help asking.
It was a tool card.
One copy per turn was already pushing it.
Two?
What was she planning to Xyz Summon some Rank 11 super monster?
Even if she wanted to, there was only one such garbage option, and P.U.N.K. couldn't even use it.
Mo Yun replied naturally:
"I know. But isn't it better to have more bosses?"
"Continue."
You finally understood.
And remembered something important.
The card he originally thought was a P.U.N.K. boss—
Psychic End Punisher—
was not a P.U.N.K. card.
Not a P.U.N.K.
Not a field-bound card.
Just a strong generic Synchro that suited the deck.
Every P.U.N.K. player ran it, so he subconsciously assumed it was part of the theme.
Now the misunderstanding was cleared.
Pure P.U.N.K. without the Executioner…
No wonder Mo Yun couldn't reach Earth Rank.
Others used a one-card route to Heaven Rank.
She was stuck two ranks below—Completely understandable.
