Reborn in 2012, raising a pure-hearted female college student

Chapter 61 is all about wits and strategy.

In the evening, Chen Che was still taking a walk outside when he received a message from his dorm leader, Ma Ge, tagging all members in the dorm group chat.

"The dormitory is on high alert. All personnel who are out should return immediately upon receiving this message."

When Chen Che returned to the dormitory, the others had already gathered at Wang Guangyu's seat, all staring at Lao Wang's phone screen with serious and solemn expressions.

"What's going on? Why such a big commotion?" Chen Che asked curiously as he leaned closer.

"Chezi, from what I've observed, Lao Wang might become the first person in our 404 dormitory to find a partner," Ma Xu said, suppressing his excitement.

"Really?"

"Really, if you don't believe me, see for yourself."

Ma Xu gestured for me to move a step closer so Chen Che could see Lao Wang's phone screen. Lao Wang was chatting with someone.

The other person's nickname is "Crying Mermaid Girl," and her real name is Qiao Yu.

Old Wang's nickname is Jack.

"Is this the girl who sat across from you this afternoon and played cards with you?" Chen Che asked.

"Hmm." Old Wang nodded.

The first part was a series of platitudes from someone who had just added another friend, until the last sentence revealed the other person's true intentions.

The crying mermaid girl: "Hey classmate, I also want to play the Explosive Storytelling deck, but I don't really understand the combo chains. Can you teach me?"

"Family members, how should we deal with the enemy?" Old Wang asked earnestly.

"An enemy? What enemy? Where did this enemy come from?"

"It's her."

"Huh?" Old Wang looked completely bewildered. "Isn't this just the other person trying to find an opportunity to start a conversation and get closer to you?"

Wouldn't a normal person think that way?

Old Wang sneered and said, "Brother Ma, you're still too naive."

Your thinking is still superficial; you've only seen the surface and haven't grasped the essence of the problem beyond that surface.

Brother Ma was taken aback: "What do you mean by that?"

Old Wang turned to Chen Che: "Brother Che, do you understand now?"

Chen Che also shook his head.

"Well, it's not your fault, you just don't understand the game Yu-Gi-Oh!"

Old Wang slowly began to explain: "These guys who play the 'revenge on society' deck are very familiar with their opponents' decks. They use their limited resistances in the most critical positions to block their opponents' development."

Conversely, they are the ones who know best the opponent's deck's combo chains and weaknesses. As long as they can impede at key points, they have basically won half the battle.

So, following this line of thought... the real reason why Qiao Yu deliberately pretended not to know how to play the storytelling deck...

"She really wants to see if there's anything special in my deck construction that her deck can't handle!"

Fun and witty?

The group of students in the dormitory stared at each other, wide-eyed.

"Is this...right?" Ma Xu asked hesitantly.

"That's definitely the case." Old Wang patted his chest confidently.

"So, how should we reply?"

The group discussed it amongst themselves for a while.

"Then, should we just tell her to get lost?" Ma Xu tentatively suggested.

"Brother Ma, look, you're getting impatient." Old Wang shook his head.

"Uh... what should we do then?"

"I think we must take this opportunity to lure the enemy in and seize her weakness in one fell swoop."

"That……"

Old Wang hesitated for a moment, then typed on his phone, "Okay, let's switch decks."

"Okay, okay," the other person replied instantly, "And you looked so cool and spirited when you chanted Liutian's summoning phrase, could you teach me too?"

After thinking it over, Brother Ma cautiously said, "This time, I guess I want to get closer to you and become friends, right?"

"Wrong! Completely wrong! Utterly wrong!" Wang Guangyu said, shaking his head.

"Uh... could this place also be full of traps?"

"Yes," Old Wang nodded, "These seemingly ordinary words are full of danger!"

"Huh?" Brother Ma looked surprised.

"Brother Ma, do you usually watch anime?" Old Wang asked, changing the subject abruptly.

"I check it occasionally."

"Can you say any commonly used Japanese phrases?"

"Hmm... Baka Hengtai Wulusai?"

Old Wang nodded with satisfaction: "Right? Even someone like you who doesn't watch much anime knows these lines, let alone us hardcore anime fans who watch card games."

"If you watch those card-playing anime over and over again, how could you not know those famous lines?"

"So her real purpose is definitely not to learn the opening lines! She wants to see what other Soul decks I'm good at so she can counter them!" Old Wang's sharp eyes immediately saw through the mystery.

"Huh? Is that so...?" Brother Ma nodded thoughtfully, having learned something new. You're never too old to learn; these are all tips for chatting with the opposite sex.

You have to learn everything through real-world experience!

"Then how should we deal with the enemy?" Brother Ma asked.

"Hmph, same old trick: lure her in deep, then turn the tables on her!"

"Isn't she trying to probe my strengths and weaknesses? I'll turn the tables on her!"

Wang Guangyu pondered for a moment, then typed in the chat box: "Okay, what do you want to learn? I'll go learn it first."

"...?!"

The other party replied quickly: "Sure! How about we play another game in a couple of days? You can teach me while you're at it! And if you lose again, you'll come with me to the card shop!"

What? If I lose, I have to go to the gambling den with her? Old Wang gasped.

I'm hesitant to reply in the chat box.

Brother Ma has also begun to grasp the basics, and he analyzed with a serious expression: "Old Wang, I understand!"

On the surface, her request was to invite you to play cards, but the fact that she's inviting you again so soon clearly shows she wants to beat you again before you figure out a strategy!

Old Wang's eyes showed surprise: "Congratulations, Brother Ma! You've even learned to answer first!"

"That's right, she just wants to beat me again before I figure out a countermeasure, and then humiliate me to my heart's content!"

The ancients said that being of low status is shameful; in a card game, the person of lower status would be severely humiliated by being kicked!

"Oh my god! That's terrifying!"

"Then we refuse?"

Old Wang shook his head: "No, if we refuse, wouldn't all that groundwork and effort have been wasted?"

However, if I just agree to it, I feel like the probability of losing is still higher.

At this moment, Chen Che suddenly spoke up: "Old Wang, I've also watched a few episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh!."

I think the most important thing for you right now is to convey your attitude: a duelist must have an iron will and the strength of steel!

Does fear of failure preclude one from accepting challenges?

Upon hearing this, Old Wang was startled. He was a man destined to become a world champion, and women were nothing but a hindrance. Needless to say, it was only a matter of time before he would compete against his rival in a tournament.

At this moment, Wang Guangyu's heart was no longer filled with hesitation, and he calmly typed a line on the screen:

"Don't worry! I absolutely won't lose!"
