At this moment, Miss Yue Hua was already following behind the short penguin controlled by Otaki Shuzo, hopping onto an ice surface.
The penguin controlled by Otaki Shuzo jumped onto the ice block opposite, turned around, a golden flash on the Duel Disc, and the card deck automatically appeared in his hand.
"Alright, in this world your card deck is unusable, quickly choose the cards you want to use for the duel." Otaki Shuzo chuckled, "This is a great opportunity, you know? Any card in the Kaiba Company's database is available here, even those you never usually have access to.
Make good use of this opportunity and try to challenge me, uh... how old are you again, little lady?"
Otaki Shuzo, who wasn't sure of the other's age, felt awkward speaking.
Miss Yue Hua proudly puffed out her small chest, "Eighteen!"
Xue Lang squinted from the side, "How come I remember hearing you say you were eighteen three years ago during your stream..."
Miss Yue Hua was instantly annoyed, "What, can't I be forever eighteen?"
"Very good, very good." Otaki Shuzo was very pleased to hear that, "Eighteen is great, very good indeed."
As he spoke, the penguin's gaze grew increasingly satisfied, eventually even nodding slowly.
Now, he was quite satisfied with this girl. Her face was quite nice, just a bit flat-chested, but those are minor issues. After taking over her body, with a little effort, this flaw could be remedied...
The old gentleman penguin thought to himself while letting out a sleazy laugh.
Miss Yue Hua rolled her eyes at him, ignoring the pervert as she began selecting her cards from the scrolling card pool in front of her.
It had been mentioned before that although Miss Yue Hua had been a streamer for quite some time, she was still a complete novice at Yu-Gi-Oh, with card skills at the novice level. So far, she's only managed to copy a beginner-recommended card deck from forums, barely managing to get by against random players...
Now suddenly being given access to the entire card archive, the novice streamer was somewhat at a loss.
Whoa, what's the effect of this card, it looks awesome!
Hey, I haven't finished reading the effect of this card and it's already gone...
... It's very much like a newcomer player wanting to start with Yu-Gi-Oh in subsequent versions, looking bewildered at the cards filled with effect one, effect two, effect three.

The entire process was seamless without any pause, commonly known as a full service.
But no worries, because Miss Yue Hua wasn't fighting alone here. Behind her were thousands of expert viewers supporting, who could punch Yugi, kick Kaiba, and were duel king level.
"Mirror Force! Grab Mirror Force!"
"I saw Magic Cylinder, gotta get Magic Cylinder!"
"Pot of Greed has to be maxed out, right?"
"..."
Miss Yue Hua, of course, also noticed that the system card pool seemed to have more cards than usual, but as a newbie, her card pool was already very limited compared to Youyu's. Even if there were additional cards, the quantity and variety were limited.
So with the combined efforts of the knowledgeable audience, a deck was born that half consisted of her usual cards and the other half was filled with weird, unfamiliar stuff...
Moreover, after selecting, many cards were picked simply because the audience insisted they were "must-haves," and Miss Yue Hua chose them without even looking, completely unaware of their use or effects.
Therefore, she now had to read the effects card by card...
Otaki Shuzo, however, was very "gentlemanly" and didn't rush her, simply watching her with a smile while secretly rejoicing inside.
Ha! Such luck!
This time, I've caught not only a young and beautiful lady but also a fighter amongst newbies!
A newbie who can't even figure out card effects before the duel, can I, Otaki Shuzo, lose?
Meanwhile, behind them, Anzu and Shizuka were shocked.
Does she really not even recognize the cards?
This duel feels like it's really doomed!
Finally, after a while, Miss Yue Hua inserted her card deck back into the Duel Disc.
"Oh? Ready?" Otaki Shuzo chuckled, "Aren't I quite the gentleman?"
Miss Yue Hua couldn't be bothered to waste words on him and directly activated the Duel Disc.
Otaki Shuzo didn't mind, feeling quite confident.
He felt that this duel was already a win for him. Now, in his penguin mind, he had already skipped over the card game step and was imagining what he'd do with his victory...
...However, Otaki Shuzo, at 55, still didn't realize the seriousness of the situation.
"Duel!"
The Duel Disc randomly decided that Yue Hua Miss would go first.
She chose the mainstream strategy that she had just recently learned from playing the game over the past few days—normal summon "Marauding Captain," and then, according to the captain's effect, special summon "Command Knight" from her hand upon successful summon.
Then, due to the effect of "Command Knight," the attack power of all friendly Warrior-Type monsters rose by 400.
[Marauding Captain, ATK 1600]
[Command Knight, ATK 1600]
Then she... set four cards and ended her turn.
Xue Lang behind her took a sharp breath—starting off with four set cards in the back field, so self-isolating?
"Haha, a Warrior deck? It's not going to work in front of me! My turn, draw!"
Otaki Shuzo confidently stated, "You must think that you are safe with the protection of those set cards in the back field, right? Let me show you how mistaken you are!"
Magic Card—Cold Wave activated! Until my next turn, neither side can activate any Magic Trap Cards, nor set them!"
Yue Hua Miss awkwardly pressed the button on the Duel Disc: "Wait... wait a minute! Counter Trap, Dark Bribe! Opponent draws one card, magic activation negates!"
"Tch, you actually have this kind of trick? In that case, I'll summon 'Mad Lobster!'"
[Mad Lobster, ATK 1650]
"Wai... wait a minute!" Yue Hua Miss pressed the button again, "Trap Card—Bottomless Trap Hole! When a monster with over 1000 attack is summoned, destroy the monster!"
Mad Lobster barely stood after appearing on the field, but then a pit opened beneath its feet, swallowing it whole; furiously, it roared and waved its pincers in a rage as it fell...
"What, there's such a thing?" Otaki Shuzo gritted his teeth, "Damn, if that's the case, I can't leave an empty field through my next turn... Magic Card—Premature Burial! Pay 800 LP, Mad Lobster is revived!"
[Otaki Shuzo, LP 4000→ LP 3200]
A reddened lobster body reappeared on the field under the effect of magic, panting and looking even angrier than before...
"Next, I activate the ability of my Deck Commander, 'Nightmare Penguin,' giving Water attribute monsters an attack increase of 200!
Then attack with Mad Lobster!"
"Wai... wait!"
Yue Hua Miss raised a hand, and Otaki Shuzo's eyelid twitched reflexively.
What the hell, not again?
"Trap Card activation... Mirror Force! When the opponent declares an attack, destroy all attack position monsters on the opponent's field!"
Otaki Shuzo: "..."
Otaki Shuzo, who ended up in three pits in a row, was at a loss for living. The furious lobster seemed to evolve into an angry lobster, breaking out in curses at the shining holy force, but ultimately vanished under the glow...
"Damn it!" Otaki Shuzo stomped in frustration.
What the hell is this mess?
The monsters can't even be summoned, and attacks can't be initiated; Otaki Shuzo declared he had never heard of such a self-isolating duel before.
Dare you to play cards from the Mortal World?
But now Otaki Shuzo faced a more severe problem. His LP was only 3200, and the two monsters on that beautiful girl's field combined had an attack power of exactly 3200; like this, ending directly meant he had undoubtedly lost...
Thus, he had no other choice now.
"I... I'll summon my 'Deck Commander!'" Otaki Shuzo shouted, "Summon 'Nightmare Penguin,' defense position!"
[Nightmare Penguin, DEF 1800]
Though breaking the Deck Commander would directly cause him to lose, it was a dangerous gamble he now had no choice but to take. Nightmare Penguin's defense power was 1800; if he could just survive the next turn...
"Wait... wait again!"
Otaki Shuzo almost spat out penguin blood.
I'm begging you, lady, no more waiting!
Can it still be a pit?
"Counter Trap activated... Solemn Judgment!" Yue Hua Miss shouted, "Pay half of LP, summon negates and destroys!
According to your rules, breaking the Deck Commander results in the inability to continue the duel, so you lose!"
In the Trap Card, the projection of a dignified old man appeared, in a "can't do, can't do" posture as he held up a hand declaring judgment. Nightmare Penguin instantly disintegrated, and the 55-year-old former perverted HR Otaki Shuzo was sucked into the vortex with a drawn-out unwilling scream and disappeared.
Upon vanishing, Otaki Shuzo's mind was filled with a single thought—
—I'm cracking, what kind of crazy deck is this from the Netherworld!?
