Chapter 204: Black Crown Game Shop

"Kame Game Shop Manager, Solomon Mutou, 72 years old, is facing the biggest crisis of his life this year." Standing in front of the newly opened large game shop, the Black Crown Game Shop, Solomon Mutou wore a serious expression. "To revitalize the business of Kame Game Shop, he has brought his disciple and grandson before the enemy's base."

"But his disciple and grandson quickly fell at light speed, how shameful!" Hayato commented from behind Grandpa Solomon.

As for Yugi and Joey, who should have been standing beside Grandpa Solomon, they had long since been unable to contain their curiosity and had already gone inside the Black Crown Game Shop to play games.

Téa speechlessly held her forehead. "Hayato, what have you been saying since just now!"

"Didn't Grandpa Solomon say this shop is his biggest enemy? When dealing with the final boss, commentary can increase combat power by 1000%." Hayato joked, looking towards the second floor of the Black Crown Game Shop in front of them.

A dark figure flashed by the window there, making one wonder if it was just an illusion.

After school, as agreed upon that morning, Yugi and the others came to the Black Crown Game Shop to "check out the competition" and also get a feel for the recently popular "D.D.M" game. Grandpa Solomon also came along to take a look.

"But speaking of which, it's really big here. It's just a game shop, is it necessary to build it so tall? It actually has six floors," Téa looked up at the Black Crown Game Shop and remarked.

"Making the building taller, although the cost increases, it can also attract more people's attention," Hayato accompanied Grandpa Solomon up the steps. "There's nothing special to see outside, let's go inside and find Yugi and the others."

As soon as they reached the main entrance, the automatic sensor door automatically opened. What they saw immediately were several large machines, whose appearance seemed somewhat similar to gachapon machines.

A receptionist nearby enthusiastically introduced them to Hayato and the other two, who clearly looked new. "Good afternoon, everyone, welcome to Black Crown Game Shop. Would you like to take a look at our shop's biggest specialty - 'Monster Dragon Gate Dice'? This is a game very similar to Duel Monsters. Each die contains a monster model, possessing both aesthetic appeal and collection value."

"Hmph, putting models inside dice, it sounds awkward just thinking about it!" Out of hostility towards the Black Crown Game Shop, Grandpa Solomon also became full of prejudice towards "Monster Dragon Gate Dice".

However, although his grandfather was saying this, his grandson didn't think so. Grandpa Solomon had just finished speaking when he saw Yugi walking over from the side of the gachapon machine, holding four or five dice in his hand, clearly having just gotten them from that machine.

"Grandpa, this 'Monster Dragon Gate Dice' is quite interesting." As he spoke, Yugi opened one of the dice in his hand and took out a model of Dark Magician Girl. "Compared to Duel Monsters, which requires KaibaCorp's virtual projection system to see 3D monsters, the models for 'D.D.M' are quite good."

Taking the model of Dark Magician Girl that Yugi handed him, Solomon's face turned red. He looked for flaws with prejudice, but found that just as Yugi said, the Monster Dragon Gate Dice models were quite exquisite, with extremely high fidelity, exactly the same as on the Duel Monsters card art, and the material felt quite high-grade.

Unable to find any faults, Grandpa Solomon didn't say anything, stuffed the Dark Magician Girl back into Yugi's hand, turned around, and left angrily.

"Huh? What's wrong with Grandpa?" Yugi didn't understand why Grandpa Solomon was angry and asked somewhat confusedly.

"Monster Dragon Gate Dice is indeed a good game, but Grandpa Solomon just doesn't want to admit it," Hayato glanced at Grandpa Solomon, who had already walked to the steps, and said to Téa, "Please, Téa, could you accompany Grandpa Solomon?"

"Okay, I'm also really worried about Grandpa Solomon," Téa nodded helplessly. "Then I'll head off first."

Watching the closing automatic sensor door block the backs of Grandpa Solomon and Téa, Hayato shifted his gaze back to the gachapon machine inside the game shop and walked over. To be honest, he was also quite interested in this game.

The machine for buying Dragon Gate Dice was similar in appearance to a gachapon machine, and the price wasn't much different either, 500 yen per spin. Hayato pulled out a 10,000 yen bill from his wallet to buy tokens and bought a few Dragon Gate Dice to try.

Curse of Dragon, Skull Stalker, Baby Dragon... They were all just ordinary monsters. Out of twenty Dragon Gate Dice, the best one Hayato got was a die of Gaia the Fierce Knight, making him wonder if this was the Bond of Tamashii?

He casually glanced up at the prize description and suddenly widened his eyes. He abruptly lowered his head to look at the Dark Magician Girl in Yugi's hand and asked, "Yugi, how many Dragon Gate Dice did you buy?"

"Ah, me? I only bought five, just to play around," Yugi shyly scratched the back of his head. "I was originally thinking of giving one each to Grandpa and Téa. After all, look, I pulled three Dark Magician Girls."

"...Yugi, do you know what the probability of pulling Dark Magician Girl is?"

On the gachapon machine, the Dark Magician Girl model was specially marked. The promotional content was "Highest Rarity," "0.1% Appearance Rate!"

"Hmm, about 1/1000?"

"Then do you know you'll get beaten up for that? European Emperor's lifespan is extremely short.jpg" Hayato looked at the three Dark Magician Girls in Yugi's arms with envious and jealous eyes, as well as the other two Dark Magician models, which were slightly lower in rarity but still ultra-rare.

Is this the world of Europeans? Someone hurry and destroy a world like this!

Speaking of Europeans, Hayato thought of another "Emperor of European Emperors." "Speaking of which, wasn't Joey with you, Yugi?"

"Joey? He seems to have gone to the Duel Arena with Tristan," Yugi thought for a moment, and an expression of anticipation appeared on his face. "Hayato, let's go take a look there too. Although I have a rough understanding of how Monster Dragon Gate Dice is played, I'm really looking forward to what it's actually like to play."

Under the guidance of the receptionist, Hayato and Yugi came to the third floor of the Black Crown Game Shop.

It's called the third floor, but it's actually connected to the fourth floor. It's a competition area specifically for Duel Monsters and Monster Dragon Gate Dice, and it's also equipped with a large number of virtual projection systems. KaibaCorp must have received quite a bit in authorization fees for this.

As soon as they arrived on the third floor, Hayato and Yugi heard Joey's arrogant voice. "Heh heh, how about that? Have you experienced the strength of a duelist who made it to the top 4 of Duelist Kingdom? It's just Monster Dragon Gate Dice, even as a beginner, I can defeat you!"
