A day later, Yuei Vu met the "friend" that Uncle Itou Shin mentioned.
As expected, that guy really had an important role in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, a famous Destiny Hero user, Aster Phoenix…'s father.
Mr. Phoenix was a very easygoing person. Wearing rectangle-frame glasses and a red shirt, he always had a gentle smile when he met anyone.
The first expression he gave people was a very kind man.
Then there was his son, Aster Phoenix.
Aster was already a well-known professional duellist when he appeared in the GX animation. He won consecutive battles in professional competitions. Even Ryo Marufuji, who used the Cyber Dragon deck, the "Kaiser" of the Dueling Academy, lost to him once.
But at this time, Aster obviously has nothing to do with that title. Right now, he is just a simple young boy full of longing for heroes…
…and a loyal fan of the Duel King.
Little Aster's eyes lit up the first time he saw Yuei Vu.
Although Aster was young and didn't understand much, even he instinctively felt that Brother Duel King was very good-looking and pleasing to the eye…
"Favourability +1, +1, +1…"
Yuei Vu: "…"
Well, it looks like this Charm 95 attribute is very effective. Not only men and women, but even all ages!
"Hello." Mr. Phoenix shook hands with Yuei Vu and smiled, "Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to come here. Shin should have told you about me."
"Hello, Mr. Phoenix." Yuei Vu also smiled, "The store manager said that you are one of the best designers of the Industrial Illusions, so I should be honored to meet you this time."
When meeting for the first time, a wave of praise was definitely indispensable according to the procedure. This was the same reason that in martial arts novels, even when you meet a third-rate character who pops out of nowhere, everyone liked to clasp their fists and greeted each other with a wave of "long admiration".
After all, not everyone was as courageous as the president, who looked down on everyone he met, and when they come up, there would be a wave of "horse bone", "small fries", and "third-rate duelists".
But for this Mr. Phoenix, Yuei Vu speculated that the other party may really be a relatively important designer in the Industrial Illusions.
According to the original setting, Destiny HERO was a unique series of HERO designed by him for his son. In the animation, it was called the strongest series of HERO that "goes beyond Elemental HERO".
And according to the animation, under the temptation of some extremely powerful mysterious power, he designed the "Ultimate D" card, which contained the strongest hero capable of destroying the world (supposedly) – Destiny HERO Plasma.
Only after that, Aster's father died because of it. Someone took the Plasma card from him, and at the same time, Mr. Phoenix's soul was also swallowed by this card.
Since then, Little Aster's time has stagnated. Then he became a professional duelist, stepped into the league, and won consecutive battles, but time never moved forward.
He lingered forever on the night his father died, trying his best to find the murderer who killed his father.
But since that tragedy hasn't happened yet, Aster now looked like a carefree child full of longing for a duel, and Mr. Phoenix seemed to be quite normal.
So the invincible Plasma should not have been born yet.
From this point of view, that tragedy might also have been avoided.
It's just that the animation only mentioned the accident ten years ago in a few words in Aster's memory, without any details or a specific time. It was too difficult to predict with such limited information.
"The store manager Shin was my senior when we were in Industrial Illusions, and he took good care of me at that time." Mr. Phoenix smiled. "It is also thanks to his willingness to help that I can have the honor to meet the Duel King."
Yuei Vu said politely: "It's my honor. The store manager also helped me a lot when I was in trouble…"
"I heard from him that you are dating his granddaughter, right?" Mr. Phoenix smiled, "Chika-chan is also a little beauty…"
Yuei Vu: "…"
Damn it!
The old man was blabbing again…
"This is my son, Aster. He's your big fan." Mr. Phoenix gestured to his son behind him, "Come on, Aster, say hello to Brother Vuei Vu."
The silver-haired boy came forward very slowly, with his head lowered as if he was a little shy.
He still looked like an introverted child.
Yuei Vu's mind quickly became active.
Aster Phoenix, this guy has quite a lot of screen time in the plot of Yu-gi-oh GX.
What's more important was that this character left a deep impression as soon as he appeared on the stage. He beat up Ryo, the former eldest brother of the Dueling Academy, and Yuki Judai, the next eldest brother of the academy. Ryo was so shocked by this defeat that he fell to the dark side and used the power of Cyber Dark. Next, Aster has beaten Judai so hard that he lost his ability to duel, and was autistic for a long time until he gained the power of Ultraman…, eh, Neos, and then regained his strength.
From this point of view, Aster should barely be considered the child of destiny.
So if I could recruit and train him as soon as possible, when he entered the GX plotline in the future, wouldn't it be nice to have the child of destiny as a tool man?
Isn't there a saying that says so?
Training tool people should be started from childhood!
So Yuei Vu quickly put on a smile as warm as a spring breeze, coupled with the Charisma value that was enough to capture 80% of girls in seconds, and even used the legendary trick "patting the head" that could only be mastered by "Picking Up Girl Artists Rank 8 or above", carefully touched Aster's silver head.
For this wave of operations, Yuei Vu felt that he could score at least ninety-nine points, and one point was deducted because he was afraid of being too arrogant.
Well, it would be great if Little Aster was a loli. Using it on a shota would inevitably reduce the effect…
But it didn't matter.
The favorability on this little boy's head was continuously increasing, and it seemed that the capturing progress should be completed soon…
Little Aster raised his head and seemed to muster up his courage: "That…Yuei Vuei Vu, I…can I make a request?"
Yuei Vu smiled gently: "Go ahead."
Anyway, it's probably to show him my own deck or something, right?
He remembered that it was mentioned in the animation that Aster was a hard-core hero fan just like Judai when he was a child. The most exciting thing in his childhood was seeing his father design a brand-new HERO, and he had no resistance to a handsome HERO.
For such a small request from fans, Yuei Vu said that of course, he could meet it.
Then he heard Aster whisper: "Then…then can you help me get an autograph of Yugi?"
Yuei Vu: "..."
The smile gradually faded. JPG.
"Aster!" Mr. Phoenix hurriedly pulled his son back with an apologetic expression on his face, "Ahaha, he is still a child and doesn't know how to behave, I'm sorry…"
