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

Chapter 331 Q&A

Di Xing spoke somewhat hesitantly, "In Yu-Gi-Oh!, 'targeting' means becoming the object of an effect, that is, the object selected after the effect is activated. Selecting an object before the effect is activated has the same cost as activating the effect; it's a condition for activating the effect, and this is called 'not targeting'."

"Simply put, look at the card effect text. If the word 'object' comes before 'activate,' it means the object is not selected; otherwise, it means the object is selected."

"I see, that's clear and simple. You truly are worthy of being called Teacher Beidou Sensai!" The woman quickly jotted it down in her notebook, happily downed her drink in one gulp, bowed deeply, and then jogged away.

The next blue-haired lady quickly stepped forward. "A Bloody Mary, Hokuto Sensai, I'd like to ask, what's the difference between 'time' and 'occasion' on the card?"

"'Time' refers to a point in time, while 'circumstance' refers to a period of time. In Yu-Gi-Oh!, a point in time refers to a chain within a chain. Effects with 'Time' written on a card may be affected by the point in time, while effects with 'circumstance' are generally not affected by the point in time."

"What about the timing of that card transaction?"

"That's the second question," the waiter politely interrupted her.

The blue-haired woman could only walk to the side, somewhat reluctantly.

Fortunately, the pink-haired girl behind him immediately followed up with, "A glass of honey liqueur, what does 'kashidian' mean?"

"This question needs to be understood in conjunction with the above content. You can think of each interlocking section as a section of bamboo water pipe with exactly two ends. Each section of water pipe must be inserted into the previous section, and once both ends are inserted, no new water pipe can be inserted."

"The effect treatment is like starting to fill the pipes with water. Some of the bamboo pipes will change after the water flows through them, but no matter how they change, the water will not flow backward. Moreover, water cannot be added again until all the pipes have been filled. In other words, a chain must be treated in sequence, and a new chain cannot be inserted in the middle."

"Some bamboo water pipes will sprout new shoots after water flows through them. These new shoots will wither and die if they don't immediately come into contact with water. This is called 'timing.' Others will grow new bamboo pipes and wait for a new round of water flow. This is called 'circumstance.'"

Simply put, if a card's effect contains the word 'time', and it is triggered in a chain of two or more, the time effect will be negated.

"For example, if I chain 1 to activate [Gear City], and you chain [Gear City] to activate C2 to activate Cyclone, because C2 Cyclone destroys [Gear City], [Gear City] needs to activate its Last Word effect to Special Summon Ancient Gear Monster when it enters the Graveyard. However, at this time, you still need to deal with the activation of C1 [Gear City] first, so you miss the opportunity to activate the Last Word effect of [Gear City]."

"I see!" the blue-haired woman exclaimed happily.

"I'm still a little confused, but I'll write it down first," the pink-haired girl said, her pen flying across the paper.

Even RED and purple, two of the Rainbow Seven, the famous host club members from Akiyahara, were diligently taking notes.

Nami and the other girl stared in disbelief. "He...is he in class?"

The ordinary-looking girl with glasses laughed and said, "That's right, you guys can't be unaware that the host clubs on the fourth floor are mostly frequented by women from the third floor who don't have much money, can you?"

"Yes, that blue-haired lady chimed in, 'Why would people on the fourth floor, who are all so poor, come here to spend money? While we have many good host clubs on the third floor, they're all too expensive, while the prices here are much more reasonable.'"

The pink-haired girl walked over as well. "So none of us are rich, and if we were to ask someone about dueling on the third floor, the price would be prohibitive. But here in Hokuto Sensai, I can ask a question for just one drink! I'm so lucky to have encountered such a wonderful thing!" The pink-haired girl even wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye.

"This...this?"

"You two are clearly not sophisticated just by looking at your outfits, you probably wouldn't understand this kind of thing," the ordinary-looking girl with glasses said with a hint of teasing.

Indeed, Nami and Lifei Huayue are both geniuses, not ordinary people.

At this moment, Green, the male escort who had initially greeted the two, said to Opal with great displeasure, "What is this newcomer doing? Working as a teacher at a male escort club? Teaching people how to play cards? Is that appropriate?"

Opal said somewhat awkwardly, "Right, right? After all, we're in the service industry. As long as the customers are happy, anything goes. Besides... he's already sold a week's worth of our drinks in this short time."

Seemingly wanting to end the conversation quickly, Opal hurriedly approached Nami and Lifei Huayue. "Ladies, I'm very sorry, do you have anything else you want to point out... Wow!"

Opal was startled, because both of them now had expressions of utter despair.

At this moment, the psychological activities of the two people

Nami: I'm so stupid, really. I only knew that women liked men's looks and tricks; I didn't know that women in this card-playing world also liked genuine card players.

Li Fei Hua Yue: I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have let Di Xing come in the first place. If he hadn't come, my heart wouldn't be aching now.

The other girls at Youquan Pavilion watched this scene silently from behind, all casting dangerous glances at Xiaoyou.

Xiaoyou: Waaaaah, I want to go home!

"Beidou Sensai, I have a question. I... I'd like a glass of iced water, please." A girl with a slightly worn-out dress and a side ponytail approached the waiter, awkwardly asking for the cheapest glass of iced water.

"Hokuto Sensai, if I have [Bone Tower Absorbing Essence], [King Tiger], and [Undead World] on my field, and [Destiny Hero Dead Man] in my graveyard, is it possible to infinitely revive Dead Man to the opponent's field during my Standby Phase, and then use the effect of Bone Tower Absorbing Essence to send the opponent's entire deck to the graveyard?"

The waiter pointed to the iced water that had been brought over, implying that it was just a perfunctory service.

However, Di Xing still responded seriously, "No, that would create an infinite loop. In Yu-Gi-Oh!, a loop generally refers to a loop that can be stopped manually. Infinite loops like this are generally not allowed to be executed, so the effect of the dead cannot be activated at all. There are rules governing this."

"Oh, I see..." The girl with the side ponytail lowered her head, looking somewhat disappointed.

"However, if we replace [Wang Hu] with [Osiris the Sky Dragon], the effect of the Dead can be activated, but it will still enter a dead loop."

"You need to understand that even if you give all of the opponent's cards, they still have to draw a card to win."

If you execute this infinite loop in an online duel, your only option is to surrender amidst the endless barrage of lightning bolts. However, before that, you'll need the [Sky Dragon of Osiris].

Di Xing added with a smile

A happy smile spread across the girl's delicate but tanned face. "Thank you!" she said, and then she ran off.

"Beidou Sensai, you're so kind! Can...can you provide takeout service?" a woman teased, blushing.

"No, that won't do. Our host club has very strict rules. My friendship with you is only valid within this club. Once we leave, we're strangers."
