Chapter 16: The Struggle of Larry, the Poor Student!
"The first day without Yusei was so boring——"
In the morning, Lou Bai sat on the threshold and complained, because today was the day to go to work, and Borg and the others had gone out early, leaving only Larry, who was not wanted by the factory because of his young age, and Larry who promised You Xing to take care of him. Lou Bai.
Looking at Larry cleaning the house hard, Lou Bai recalled the time when he took the initiative to help with housework more than ten minutes ago.
"Hey, Larry, leave the table, let me wipe it!" Lou Bai was about to pick up the rag when the rag was snatched away by Larry.
"Mr. Xiaolin, do you think I am useless?" Larry's voice had a hint of crying.
In order to take care of Larry's self-esteem, Lou Bai had to promise him that he would not do anything again. The final result was that Larry was busy in the house and Lou Bai was doing nothing at the door.
"Larry, I want to ask you something, what do you do on weekdays?" Lou Bai squatted at the door and shouted to Larry in the room.
At this time, Larry had just finished cleaning, and he brought the rag to the bucket at the door. Faced with Lou Bai's question, he thought for a while and then responded: "Ah, after finishing housework, I usually play with my few cards."
"Duel monsters!" Hearing this word, a fragment flashed in Lou Bai's mind. Under the dark night, Larry controlled the earth-bound god to commit suicide without hesitation, leaving Yusei crying helplessly on the other side.
Just like reinstalling the battery of a power-off robot, Lou Bai, who was originally bored, jumped up: "Larry, let me teach you how to duel monsters!"
"Hey, is it really possible?" Larry shouted happily, but after a while, his expression became depressed again: "But I don't even have a deck of my own."
"Don't worry about these things." Lou Bai jumped up, patted the ashes on his butt, and walked towards the house: "You can collect cards at any time, and the cultivation of dueling skills cannot be achieved overnight."
A few minutes later, when Larry had completely finished the work on his hands, Lou Bai was already sitting upright on the chair, putting on a serious look. After Larry took his seat, Lou Bai began his lecture.
"Okay, then let me start. When talking about dueling monsters, we must first mention the health value. Health value is both precious and cheap. It is precious because once the health value reaches zero, it means that the duel is lost; and when it comes to It's cheap because as long as it doesn't return to zero, it doesn't matter how much it is, and here we have to mention the concept of 'killing line'..."
Half an hour later...
"Larry, are you an idiot?! How many times have I told you, it's a good deal to exchange half of your health for resistance!" Lou Bai's pretense of calmness was completely broken, and he scratched his hair with one hand. , slapping one hand on the table, shouting almost collapsed.
"Ah, stupid Lou Bai, stupid Lou Bai! That's half of the full health!" Larry climbed onto the chair, trying to overpower Lou Bai in terms of momentum.
Seeing Larry who refused to give in at all, Lou Bai took the lead and took a step back: "Forget it, you come down first and I will give you some duel endings."
After asking the question, looking at Larry who was chewing his pen and thinking hard, Lou Bai's thoughts returned to the past. Larry is really similar to his younger brothers and sisters who were in the orphanage before. They are all so sensitive and strong. Lou Bai seemed to see his own brothers and sisters in Larry.
"Hey, weird uncle, what are you doing!" Seeing Lou Bai staring at him with a strange expression on his face, Larry finally couldn't help it anymore, threw the pen away, and asked angrily.
"What do you call me?! What kind of uncle? Call me teacher!" Lou Bai twitched the corner of his mouth and responded with a look of helplessness.
"Hey, uncle." Larry, who had been tortured by the end of the duel for a long time, finally gave up. He threw away the pen, pushed the paper forward, leaned on the table and asked Lou Bai: "What do you think Yusei is doing now? , can he get back the Stardust Dragon?"
Recalling the long and clear dragon roar that sounded in the direction of Xintong Shiye last night and the god who appeared from the light, Lou Bai comforted Larry and said: "Don't worry, Yu Xing has started his own story, we You have to follow your own path.”
But when it comes to roads, Lou Bai is actually a little confused. From the moment I came to this world to now, I have been pushed forward by various reasons and reasons. I have no goals, no direction, and no dreams.
What do I long for? Lou Bai asked himself.
Wealth? Lou Bai, who was born in an orphanage, was not a person who pursued materialistic life. In his previous life, all the money he earned was for his younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage, while he himself lived a simple life. This is what he was able to adapt to in time after coming to the satellite area. reason.
Honor? Can you imagine that a person who can be friends with strangers for a little bit of information, and pick up strangers' cars in order to escape, has a strong desire for honor? For Lou Bai, honor is just a resource and can be discarded when necessary.
Companion? Everything in the past life has passed and has nothing to do with me anymore. In the world of 5ds, Lou Bai, who is familiar with the plot, knows that the final ending is a happy ending where everyone survives. Even if he does nothing, his companions can live a good life.
"Larry, what is your dream?"
"Eh?!" Larry, who was lying on the table to clear his mind, heard such an unexpected question and didn't react for a moment. After thinking for a while, he clenched his fists and said excitedly: "I want to be as powerful as Yusei. Duelist!"
Lou Bai moved the paper and pen to Larry: "Here, the way to become a powerful duelist is here."
"But I see that Youxing has never done these things!" Larry, a poor student, wailed in pain at his homework.
"Youxing has a high level of comprehension and can understand any knowledge at a glance. Look at your wooden head!" Lou Bai said with regret.
There is another point that Lou Bai did not say. Yuxing was chosen by the Red Dragon. In a crisis, he could easily draw any God-drawn cards. Larry, as an ordinary person, could only improve his duel level by laying a solid foundation.
"Okay, okay, don't argue." Looking at Larry holding his head, Lou Bai took out a card from his card box: "I'll give you this card first. If you can solve all these problems, I'll give you another one then."
"Wow, so cute! And this defense!"
The card picture shows a fairy-tale-style furry, chubby pink bunny standing on a tree stump and looking around. Looking at its background, it is in a fairy-tale forest.

"But, but..." Although he coveted this card, Larry pushed it back after thinking about it: "If you can't do these questions, you can't do them!"
"Okay, you take it first." Seeing that Larry was really helpless, Lou Bai rubbed his stubbled chin with his thumb, thought for a while and said: "But, I also have a special training method that can improve the duel level without doing questions."
"What method is it!" When he heard that he didn't need to do questions, Larry threw down his pen and asked hopefully.
"You will know when you try it tomorrow!" Lou Bai showed a mysterious smile.
