Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 233 Snow-Covered Volcano

Some time later, in the pavilion in the courtyard of Youquan Management Hall...

"What do you mean by saying you can't give me the card materials anymore?"

Di Xing angrily roared at Shi Xun.

"You still have the nerve to ask? Your duel with Ruan Nuo practically depleted all the Spirit Stones and Spirit Stones in the entire mine."

"Isn't there still that mineral vein?"

"That's right, I would have forgotten if you hadn't reminded me. After your relentless bombing, the mineral vein is completely gone!"

"I didn't blow it up!"

Shi Xun and Di Xing stared at each other, but after a while, Shi Xun laughed first.

"But after you guys blew up that mine, it became even cheaper, saving me a lot of money."

"Tch, what a swindler!" Di Xing muttered to Shi Xun while drawing the location of the mineral vein from memory.

"By the way, I have a question. This Duskwood is clearly a mobile city, and it's layered. There should be a fifth layer below the fourth layer, so why can we mine on the fourth layer?"

"I don't know either. Anyway, the foundation thickness of each layer is at least 100 meters. And there's no space for a fifth layer in the location of the slag heap, which means its thickness is even more astonishing. There's a rumor that it was intentionally designed this way, but I don't know the specifics."

Shi Xun spread his hands and said, then smiled and said, "No matter what, I still have to thank you. After all, I wouldn't have been able to buy this mine without you. Although the vein can't be found now, at least we're certain it definitely exists there. Now the residents of the slag heap area truly have a mine of hope."

"Yes, thank you so much!" Long Ying, a white-haired girl, ran over, holding a small spirit stone in her hand. "I found this at the mine. Brother Shi Xun said that selling it should be enough to cover Xing Yi and Dean's treatment costs."

Di Xing smiled gently at Long Ying, "That's wonderful. I'll definitely visit Dean Xing Yihe another day." Then he turned to Shi Xun with a fierce expression, "But don't even think about reneging on my payment. I risked my life for it."

"Alright, alright, but I really can't produce it right now. Wait a minute?" Shi Xun seemed to suddenly remember something and magically produced a map. "I remember the next stop after Muwu Dulun is Xuedu Volcano."

"Huh? A volcano? And it's covered in snow?"

"That's right, it's an extinct volcano. The entire volcano is covered in snow, so there must be a lot of water-type card Pokémon there."

"Why would I need a water-type spirit? I need a Legacy deck!"

"That's right, you need Water-type card spirits to build a Legacy deck, and you can even capture the card spirits you want if you find them!"

Seeing that Di Xing was about to expose his ignorance of the world again, Li Fei Hua Yue hurriedly interjected.

"You mean you want us to hunt Water-type Pokémon?"

"It's not hunting. Although killing them will yield a large amount of water-attribute spirit crystals and racial secret stones, the real solution is to injure them, and they will drop a large amount of attribute spirit crystals and racial secret stones in order to survive."

Di Xing cast a pleading look at Li Fei Hua Yue. Unfortunately, Di Xing in this world was of too low a status and knew nothing about such things.

Li Fei Hua Yue then said, "Then, using attribute spirit crystals, racial secret stones, and some spirit-binding stones, we can make cards, right?"

"Yes, this can save a lot of Spirit Stones and Spirit Stones, especially Spirit Stones."

"Huh? This is just like getting loot in a video game!"

"What do you say in a world where playing cards determines everything?"

"That's true! But this only counts as you providing me with information; you'll still have to repay me for what you owe me later."

"Okay, okay, okay"

......

So, at dusk, Duron briefly stopped around the snow-covered volcano to replenish the ice supplies for the nobles of the fourth level.

Di Xing, Li Fei Hua Yue, Na Mi, and Xian Dao Shen Ji, all wrapped up like rice dumplings, stood at the foot of the snow-capped mountain.

Ruan Nuo had been too exhausted before, so she was resting at home this time. Ai Xiao was in charge of taking care of her, Vivi had to go to the water purification plant, and Lunia had to work. So the number of people was decided.

"This...this mountain is quite high," Di Xing thought, feeling a little apprehensive as he looked at the towering snow-capped mountain. But Li Fei Hua Yue had already begun walking up the mountain.

"Wait, wait a minute, little Yueyue!"

Li Fei Hua Yue turned around and angrily kicked Di Xing's shin.

"Wow, didn't you tell me to call you by your nickname like you call Nami?"

"Nami isn't my nickname!" Nami said angrily.

"You still can't call me Little Yueyue, just call me Huayue."

"By the way, I'd be very happy if you called me 'darling'," Xian Dao Shen Ji tentatively suggested.

Immediately, he was glared at by the other two, and Sendou Shinki instantly shrank back, saying, "Call me... call me Shinki-chan, that's fine too."

"Haha, teacher, this won't do!" Laughter suddenly came from behind Immortal Dao.

Two children dressed like snowballs came out. Di Xing recognized one of them; it was Little Rabbit. She was wearing a fluffy rabbit-ear hat, and underneath were probably her real rabbit ears.

Another one with red hair and golden eyes, her aura was undoubtedly that of the child named Xiaoming whom she had seen that day, but she was quite different now than she was then. Di Xing felt that he had seen her somewhere before, not in Scrap Iron 2 Elementary School, but somewhere much earlier.

"You two, how did you get here?" Immortal Dao Divine Era angrily reprimanded.

"T-Teacher," Usagi said uneasily, "It was Xiaoming... no, it was Uria-chan who insisted on secretly following you here, and I couldn't stop her. I was worried about her, so..."

It seems that Little Rabbit is practically the class monitor.

Immortal Chronicles sighed, "This isn't a fun place; it's very dangerous."

"But teacher, we can't go back now," Yasuda Uria said pitifully.

"And we can help too," the little rabbit said hesitantly. Suddenly, her rabbit ears twitched, and she pointed to a patch of snow and shouted to Di Xing, "Watch out!"

Di Xing instinctively dodged, and a white shadow flashed by. With lightning speed, Di Xing reached out and grabbed a pair of rabbit ears. He pulled it over and saw that it was actually a fairytale animal – a little rabbit.

The human and the rabbit stared at each other, a moment of awkwardness passing between them. They recognized each other; this was the little rabbit, the fairytale animal from Di Xing's world, the one who had kicked this world. It seemed this world was quite small after all.

The little rabbit suddenly tried to curl up, so Di Xing immediately stuffed it into a blank card. Just kidding, its defense was a whopping 2100 points!

Having performed a meritorious service, Little Rabbit and Yulia were allowed to follow Di Xing and the others.

Di Xing was in a great mood, humming a little tune: "The little rabbit loves this tree stump the most. It often climbs up and looks around. The Fairy Tale Animal Forest has many unique and adorable animals. You over there, who couldn't help but want to sit down after finding the tree stump! Come, let's follow the little rabbit to find our fairy tale animal friends!"

However, as if trying to dampen Di Xing's good mood, the snow fell even heavier, and the group struggled forward through the heavy snow.

The extremely low temperatures and the vast expanse of white snow even caused some people to hallucinate.

"Di, Di Xing, there seems to be a snow-white Unit-01 ahead! Can we board it?"

"That's the mountaintop! Nami, wake up! And the snow-white one is a Freedom Gundam!"

"Di...Di Xing, I think I saw three witches, one red, one green, and one blue, waving at me!" Immortal Dao Divine Chronicle said, his eyes glazed over.

"Holy crap, those are sorcerers! Shinki-chan, whatever you do, don't respond to them!" I was careless; I forgot that sorcerers also have equal offense and defense (both are zero). I'll have to be careful from now on, I can't let Shinki-chan be seduced by sorcerers!

"Big brother, you look like a radish!"

"Little rabbit, remember, rabbits can't eat carrots, and I'm not a carrot, and don't call me big brother!"

"Di, Di Xing, there looks like there's a piece of roasted meat in the snow ahead!"

"Hua Yue, what are you doing here... Huh? Holy crap, there really is a piece of grilled meat!"

In the vast expanse of white snow, a steaming piece of roasted meat stood out abruptly, clearly a trap.

"This is completely burnt! Who would fall for this kind of trap?"

Just as Di Xing was complaining, a dark figure pounced over, opened its mouth and bit into the roasted meat. It was a pure-looking girl with a beautiful feather hair ornament on her head, but carrying a huge purple-patterned scythe on her back.

Just as Di Xing and his group were staring blankly at this scene...

Suddenly, a cute girl with long, thin cat ears darted out of the snow. Her pink hair was tied into a ponytail with a huge screw cap, and she carried a giant wrench on her back. At that moment, the girl shouted, "Shut up! Don't bite my gluttonous saintess trap!"
