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

Chapter 143 Star-Rising Competition Candidates

"Let's think about these troublesome things later, Little Water Dragon. Can we get water now?" Xiao Yi urged, having arrived unnoticed.

Vitty rolled her eyes at him

"What's wrong? Is there a time limit for fetching water?" Di Xing asked.

"Yes, to avoid being targeted by the beast tide, Dusk Durren cannot stay in one place for more than two hours."

"Let's hurry and get some water. Once the water enters the fully enclosed storage tank, it shouldn't increase the humidity in the air. Then let's leave this humid area as soon as possible."

"I just received a message from Miss Que Yuxiang. There are indeed plants with yellowish-brown spots on their leaves in the potato field, and they are evenly distributed. It is estimated that someone deliberately poisoned them."

"Leaving this damp place as soon as possible will help delay the outbreak of the virus."

“Okay,” Vitty replied readily.

"Aren't you treating us too differently?" Xiao Yi complained.

Vitty ignored her, summoned her terminal, and with a series of rapid operations, the platform extending from the mobile city perfectly aligned with the canal's sluice gate. Then, as if receiving a command, the gate slowly opened.

Then Vitty leaped into the Twin Lakes, her graceful figure resembling that of a mermaid; the only regret was that her chest was a bit lacking.

As Vitty operated the keypad on the underwater side of the canal locks in the Twin Lakes area, the locks on that side slowly opened.

Instantly, the surging lake water rushed along the canal into the platform, and then poured into the inverted bucket-shaped water tank of the mobile city.

The residents of the fourth floor who had gathered to watch cheered joyfully, their weathered faces beaming with smiles, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope.

Having resolved the Li family's and Hidden Weapon's conspiracy, Di Xing and his group prepared to bid farewell to Xiao Yi and Vivian and return to the Youquan Pavilion in the scrap metal district. However, upon hearing that Di Xing had acquired his own large villa, Vivian also wanted to go and see it.

So the four of them boarded the Ice Flame Express, piloted by Nami, and sped off towards the scrap metal district.

Inside the car, Vitty kept looking around, seemingly very interested in the machine, her tail wagging excitedly.

Seeing this, Nami happily struck up a conversation with her, and the two beautiful girls excitedly chatted about the machine.

Ah, shouldn't this be a privilege reserved for boys?

Moreover, the two of them were having such a professional conversation that Di Xing, who was also a mechanical enthusiast, couldn't get a word in edgewise—well, couldn't get a chance to join the conversation.

Seeing that the two were getting more and more into conversation, Di Xing had to interrupt, after all, reckless driving can lead to tears from loved ones.

Since they didn't need to do anything else along the way, the group traveled smoothly, but by the time they arrived at Youquan Pavilion, it was already past midnight. Ruan Nuo and the others were still awake, waiting for Di Xing and the others.

Di Xing had originally planned to arrange a guest room for Vivi, but Nami hugged him and said she wanted to sleep with him.

The result was that all the women wanted to have a pillow party, and even demanded that Di Xing personify the female fairies like Lei Xi and Diana.

So, using the excuse that he needed to stay close to the spirit, Di Xing shamelessly sneaked into the party. The women smiled and agreed.

As a result, the moment the pillow fight started, Di Xing was pelted out of the room by a dozen pillows and passed out in the pile of pillows.

When Di Xing regained consciousness, it was already the next morning. Di Xing felt that almost all of his elven power had been drained. How late did those female elves play?

At this moment, Di Xing discovered that Ruan Nuo, wearing pajamas, had fallen asleep hugging him among the pile of pillows.

Waaah, my Ruan Nuo is still the best!

Di Xing carried Ruan Nuo to the dining room, where he found Vitty and Lunia, wearing aprons, had already prepared the meal. Di Xing placed the still-sleeping Ruan Nuo on a chair, and Lunia sent him off to call the other lazybones to eat.

When Di Xing led the women, whom he had finally managed to wake up, back to the restaurant, he saw a sleepy-eyed Ruan Nuo groggily memorizing her notes, swaying forward as she did so. She was incredibly cute, and Ruan Nuo was really trying her best!

After dinner, Di Xing decided to take Lunia and Vitty for a stroll in the scrap metal area, and also stop by the rabbit-eared shopkeeper to restock some (cards).

When the group arrived at the card shop/restaurant [Here it is], Di Xing saw a familiar figure.

"Oh? Isn't this Mina of Black Scorpion-Thorns?"

"I'm Minami!" Minami, a former member of the thieves' gang and now a waitress at [Here You Are], said angrily.

"Why are you working here?"

"I've been working here ever since Boss Shi left, but you always arrive too late; I've already finished get off work."

"Oh, I see." Di Xing scratched his head sheepishly, realizing he always seemed to arrive quite late.

The shop owner, wearing rabbit ear decorations, walked over, his gaze towards Di Xing still filled with hostility.

"What are you doing here, kid?"

"Oh, boss, I've come to restock some goods."

"I heard you made a fortune. How about this, I'll give you a 20% discount on all the cards here."

"That's double the price! Boss, you can't do this!" Di Xing cried out in despair.

The boss snorted, "Alright, come on over here, someone's looking for you."

A woman with a serious expression walked out from behind the boss.

"Hello, my name is Liu Tiaowu, and I'm the secretary to the head of the scrap metal district. Our head wants to see you."

"Don't you have an older brother named Gojo Satoru?"

"?"

"Oh, it's nothing. What did the district chief ask me for? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Although he had just made a joke, Di Xing immediately realized that his identity was fake. He wondered if the district chief's summons meant that his identity had been exposed.

"That's right. Because your heroic actions yesterday saved the entire fourth floor, the district chief would like to call you over to express his gratitude."

Wow, news spread so fast? Did I unknowingly become a hero? But...

Di Xing cast a questioning look at Lunia; she was probably the most familiar with the scrap metal area.

Seeing Lunia nod, Di Xing agreed, "Okay, but I'd like to bring my friend along."

"sure"

So the group followed Liu Tiaowu and got into the car she had driven. Because there weren't enough seats, the Ice Flame Express was also requisitioned.

The group arrived at the district government building in the scrap metal area.

Is it really true that it's the fourth floor? Even the district government building is made of scrap metal, and it's not much nicer than the buildings next to it.

Led by Liu Tiaowu, the group entered the district head's office.

Inside the office, a smartly dressed middle-aged man strode in and extended his hand to Di Xing. "Di Xing? Hello, I'm the head of the scrap metal district, Tie Nanzhe. Thank you so much for yesterday."

"Oh, not at all, I was just doing what a citizen should do."

"Oh? But as far as I know, you should be a time traveler, not a resident of Muwu Duren, right?" Having his secret exposed, Di Xing looked utterly astonished.

"It's alright, don't worry. Not many people know about this yet; it's still kept secret. I must say, Miss Ai Xiao's skills are truly amazing," Ai Xiao said, sticking out her tongue.

"Um, you called me here, it wasn't just to thank me, was it?" Di Xing asked cautiously.

"That's right. The main reason I called you over was to ask if you'd be interested in becoming a candidate for the Scrap Metal Zone."

"What!?"
