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

Chapter 48 Leaving the Electric Flower District

“These six families each monopolized an industry in Duskwood, their power second only to the city lord. Even the combined power of the six families could threaten the city lord. The Wolf family monopolized electricity; previously, the residents of the fourth floor had to use their exorbitantly priced electricity, and many families barely used electricity for more than a few days a year. Later, a rising star from the Electric Flower District gathered forces from various parties and finally built this sixth power plant, so the residents of the fourth floor could finally afford electricity. However, that person later mysteriously disappeared,” Ai Xiao said, her voice tinged with sadness.

Di Xing nodded, thinking that this Ascendant in the Electric Flower District was most likely assassinated by the Wolf family. The power plant should be the last legacy of this senior. Protecting the power plant can be considered as making a contribution to this respectable senior.

At this moment, Ming walked towards Di Xing and said, "Thank you for helping us protect the power plant. Otherwise, the residents on the fourth floor would have had to rely on Wolf's expensive electricity."

"You're welcome," Di Xing hurriedly waved his hand.

Mingzai suddenly looked at the pattern on Di Xing's clothes. Because Di Xing had given his linen clothes to Ruan Nuo, he was still wearing the short-sleeved shirt he had come from the present world. And because he had just given his cloak to Ai Xiao, the pattern on his clothes was fully visible. Mingzai stared at the pattern.

Just when Di Xing thought he was about to be called a pervert again, Ming suddenly said, "I've seen this Ka Ling before."

Yes, Yi Wu is quite famous.

"No, she appeared on the fourth floor."

"what?"

"It was Miss Vivi, a candidate from the Clean Water District, who sent a message to our police station, asking if anyone's Karling had gone missing?"

"Ah, isn't that your Kaling?" Ai Xiao interjected.

"Yes, yes, yes," Di Xing could only agree for now. "Then let's go to the water purification area now!"

I need to rush there to give her a complete family.

"The water purification area is too far from here, and it's already evening. It's best to go tomorrow," Ai Xiao said, looking at the map on the terminal.

"All right"

"Seriously, Di Xing, do you want to join our fire brigade? You could drive fire trucks, even turbo-powered fire trucks, when we're putting out fires."

It has to be said that the temptation was quite great, but Di Xing didn't even have an identity yet, so naturally he dared not accept it and could only politely decline Captain Ace's offer.

Captain Ace expressed his regret, then said, "The fire on the fourth floor is completely out; we should go now."

"You're still as busy as ever," Ming joked, pulling a bottle of liquor from his pocket and tossing it to Ace. "Old Sam asked me to bring this to you. Haven't had Old Sam's liquor in a while, have you? But let's make it clear first, you drunkard, don't drink while driving!" Ming knew Ace was very serious when putting out the fire, but who knows what might happen afterward.

"Yes, yes, there are countless roads, but safety is the most important. Reckless driving will bring tears to your loved ones' eyes," Di Xing couldn't help but chime in.

"You keep nagging, I know, you always say that, but your eyes never leave the bottle."

Mingzai then said to Ai Xiao, "It seems your brother is beyond saving. You must keep a close eye on him. Also," Mingzai looked at Ai Xiao with great interest, "Last night's network crash seemed to be caused by someone. I wonder if computer genius Miss Ai Xiao has any clues?"

"Haha, how would I possibly have a clue?" Ai Xiao laughed awkwardly.

"And you, Xiao Yi," Ming glared fiercely at Xiao Yi again, "I've heard about it all. You've caused quite a stir again, haven't you?"

"Officer Ming, I just wanted to help."

"But the result was more of a hindrance than a help. Quite a few public properties were damaged this time. Come back to the station with me quickly to do volunteer work to make up for the damage."

"No way! The Star-Up Competition is about to start, and I need to make the most of my time for special training!"

Xiao Yi roared in frustration, but Ming Zai still grabbed him by the back of the neck and dragged him away.

"What exactly is the Star-Rising Competition?" Di Xing could roughly guess the purpose of the competition, but he still wanted to know the details.

"The Star-Up Tournament selects two candidates from each region, randomly groups them, and then conducts an elimination tournament. The final winner can upgrade their star rating to five stars and move to the third and fourth levels. There are a total of eight regions on the fourth level, so there are 16 contestants."

"Isn't it possible for people from the same area to bump into each other?"

"Of course they will appear, but in fact, each district selects candidates through battles, so even if they end up facing off, they won't feel much psychological pressure."

"I see," Di Xing said, stroking his chin as if he were pondering some plan.

"What are you thinking? You're not thinking of participating in that Star-Up Competition, are you?"

"How could that be? I'm an entrepreneur without even legal status. By the way, what should I do if I want to get official status?"

"The simplest way is to take over the identity of Di Xing from the world you mentioned, since you said you look exactly alike."

"But he's already dead, and it's said he offended a nobleman, so his information might still be under close surveillance."

"Let me see," Ai Xiao skipped back to the fire truck, took out her laptop, and began working quickly.

"Can't we use a terminal?"

"The terminal itself can't handle such precise operations."

Five minutes later, Ai Xiao frowned. "The person that Di Xing who died offended was no ordinary person. I can't find any information about him, and strangely enough, all the bounty records he posted have disappeared. It seems the other side also has computer experts. But this is a good thing, it means they think this matter has been completely cleared up. I'll create a new identity for you now."

"Oh, is it really that easy to do?"

“The higher-ups’ management of the lower-level people is inherently lax, and the identity I created for you is that of Di Xing’s twin brother. I can just copy his deeds onto you,” Ai Xiao said, her hands still moving. “But you promised to avenge Di Xing in this world, right? Sorry, I didn’t find out who that person is for you.”

"It's alright, we'll find it eventually," Di Xing said, but in his heart he was thinking, "I can sense what Di Xing is thinking in this world. He hates not just that nobleman, but this city, this corrupt system."

"Alright, all set. I even added a security lock for you, so it'll be harder for anyone hacking into the official system to find your information, unless they're as clever as me, hahaha."

"What about my name? Is it still the same as that Di Xing's?"

"It's the same. There are already quite a few people named Di Xing, and I added a space in the middle of your name."

"This works?!"

"As I've already said, the higher-ups are very lax in their management of the fourth city."

"Ai Xiao, we should go," Ace called out from beside the fire truck.

Ai Xiao quickly grabbed Di Xing's hand, "Come on, we'll take you back to the scrap metal area."
