Chapter 18: The HERO Showcase Ends! Unlock Duel World Chat Function?

In the GX world, after hearing the blogger's description of the so-called maximum HERO board, Jaden Yuki and Aster Phoenix were already deeply captivated! That's right! Just based on that image! Phoenix Enforcer x Dark Law x Plasma! Such a ridiculously powerful lockdown was enough to make many people dream of achieving that board!

"I see, so this is the strength of HEROes!" Jaden said. "I suddenly understand what a multi-archetype HERO deck is. Perhaps I should let go of my speculations about other Elemental HEROes and start including cards from other HERO archetypes. Aster, you'll help me, right?"

Jaden already knew how to strengthen his own HERO deck. He also knew what he needed to do next. Perhaps he really should consider adding some of Aster's Destiny HERO cards! That was the way to take HEROes to the next level!

"Hmm," Aster nodded, a new resolve in his eyes. "And I need to borrow the power of your HEROes as well! I once considered adding Elemental HEROes, but I failed to bring out their true power! Now it seems, Elemental HEROes can be put to use again!" He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

When he first came to Duel Academy, he had also used Elemental HERO Fusion monsters. But in the end, he shouldered his destiny and walked the path of Destiny HEROes again. He never expected that at this moment, he would see such a HERO deck! A deck containing multiple HERO archetypes, combining Elemental and Destiny, Masked and Xtra, Vision and Evil! Such a deck was truly beyond their comprehension! At this moment, the two HERO-loving duelists shared a sense of mutual admiration.

...

In the DM world, as the HERO segment came to a close, Yugi and Atem both had emotional expressions. Was this the end for the legendary HERO archetype? Why did they feel like there was still more to see?

"Is that it?" Téa asked, touching her lips. "By the way, it seems like this archetype still has a lot of cards that weren't explained, right? The decklist he showed at the beginning seemed to have Evil HEROes? By the way, what are Evil HEROes?" Her words were a wake-up call! That's right! The initial decklist had Evil HEROes! Did the short video just end like that? Weren't there still Evil HEROes to discuss?

"I don't get it!" Tristan Taylor shrugged. For him, he was just watching for fun anyway, since he wasn't a mainstream duelist. "We have no way to communicate with the person controlling the broadcast from that other world. Who knows what Evil HEROes and the other cards are?"

"Hehehe," Kaiba sneered from the side. "Weren't there also many Blue-Eyes cards that weren't discussed? It's just HEROes, that's enough. I'm more curious about what card will be next!" In his heart, however, he was starting to miss the Blue-Eyes showcase from before.

...

5DS World

Yusei and the others, who had been watching intently, still hadn't seen the deck they were waiting for. Akiza watched as the big screen on her Duel Runner kept refreshing, a sense of longing in her heart.

"A Must-Have Staple Card for Every Deck! Do You Have These?"

"Breaking News! Predictions for the Latest K-Snake Banlist!"

"Latest Booster Pack Power-up, Six Samurai Get a Gift Pack!"

"How Many Mainstream Decks Are Still Playable? I Must Fuse Immediately!"

...

Yusei scanned the titles, committing them to memory. The content contained within these titles alone was enough to confuse him. Staple cards? What are must-have staple cards? Mirror Force? Or Magic Cylinder? Who is K-Snake? Banlist prediction? Booster pack power-up, and what are Six Samurai? Why is a mainstream deck discussion talking about Fusion? What about Synchro?! Doesn't Synchro deserve to be mainstream?!

...

Main World

After a flurry of video refreshing, Yusei Hoshi stopped. His eyes caught an interesting new function being unlocked.

"Huh? Open Duel World?"

"This Duel Master APP really has some tricks up its sleeve."

"Konami's finally showing its true colors, huh?"

"Let me see, do I need to pay a few 648s to unlock this Duel World!"

"...."

Yusei clicked on it, and sure enough, a payment pop-up appeared.

[Ding! Congratulations user for watching 2 complete videos!]

[Congratulations, you have unlocked the Duel World Communication function!]

[Function Description: During the testing phase, you can use the Duel World Communication function to communicate and discuss with parallel Duel Worlds. As you watch more videos, more functions will be unlocked, including but not limited to (Duel Invitation, Gifting Cards, Dimension Travel...).]

[Would you like to spend 2000 Yuan to unlock the first Duel World?]

Seeing this familiar pop-up made Yusei's mouth twitch. This wasn't something one 648 Yuan purchase could solve! It was three 648s! (648 Yuan is a common price point for the largest in-app purchase in Chinese mobile games).

Alright, so the 2000 Yuan he just got was going to be spent immediately? So, should he unlock this so-called Duel World or not? Danmaku? Communication? What does that even mean? (Danmaku is a system where comments fly across the screen, like a live chat).
