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

Chapter 138 The Gac Family's Conspiracy

"Are you alright?" The tall man in black quickly helped the short man in black to his feet.

"It's alright, quickly hold him off and don't let him escape, backup will be here soon."

It seems these two men in black never intended to defeat Bai Yiqi, but rather to stall him for time.

Bai Yiqi revealed a fearless smile, "A war of attrition, huh? Come on!"

Just then, a group of dirty-looking children cheered Bai Yiqi on, saying, "Big brother, you're so cool! Defeat all these bad guys!"

"Hey kid, you have good taste! This is a copy of my idol's outfit!" Bai Yiqi said excitedly.

"You're asking for death, you lowly low-star creatures, how dare you mock us!" The tall man flew into a rage upon hearing this, materializing a giant orc wielding a bone club and smashing it towards the children.

"Oh no!" Di Xing and Bai Yiqi rushed towards the children at the same time.

But it was too late for the two of them. Just then, a monster with long reddish-brown hair and a black cloak stood in front of the children, catching the bone club that was being swung at them with one hand.

"Honestly, there's always someone trying to cause me trouble," said Ming, the Demon-Sealing Demon, making a grand entrance.

"You're from the Secret Service, aren't you? That Dark Robert of yours caused me a lot of trouble the other day."

"Mingzai, are you crazy? You know we're secret guards, why are you stopping us? That guy is the fugitive!"

"I didn't see that person attack civilians, but I did see you kill several children."

Ming gripped his right fist with his left hand, twisting his knuckles until they creaked.

"Grit your teeth and bear it."

He didn't forget to glance at Bai Yiqi, "Hey, you're not allowed to run away, I'm going to question you later."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yiqi instantly understood. He ran towards the hovering electric scooter the man in black had arrived on, pulled out tools from his pocket, and quickly broke the scooter's safety lock, starting the electric scooter.

Oh dear, has he gone from Che Guevara to Steal Guevara?

Just as Che Guevara Bai Yiqi was about to turn on the switch and escape, Di Xing hurriedly shouted, "Odd changes, even remains the same!"

But Bai Yiqi had already sped away, leaving only his reply, "The sign indicates the quadrant," echoing in the air.

"Wow, did I really run into someone from my hometown?"

After this interlude, Di Xing and his friends returned to the library, where the girl Que Yuxiang, with her eyes closed, was waiting for them.

"Welcome! What kind of books are you looking for? Or would you like to buy flowers?"

They actually sell flowers?

Di Xing stepped forward and said, "I'd like to find a book that introduces the main crop types of the fourth level, preferably one that mentions any poisons or insects that could cause widespread damage to staple crops."

After Di Xing finished speaking, Li Feihua and Na Mi immediately moved away from him, looking at him with expressions as if he were a terrorist. Que Yuxiang also frowned.

Di Xing then realized he might have said something wrong and hurriedly tried to explain, but then felt something sharp pressing against his back.

"I can't pretend I didn't hear what you just said. Who exactly are you? Speak!" A sharp shout came from behind.

Di Xing instinctively raised his hands, "I...I...I'm not a suspicious person! Let me explain...let me know how I explain!"

Without a word, the person behind him tied Di Xing's hands with rope, then walked up to him. It was a young woman dressed very similarly to Ye Mudan, the Sixth Ring Elite, wearing a cheongsam and a bun hairstyle, and carrying the same sword-and-umbrella as Ye Mudan.

"Were you sent by the Jia Kou family to cause trouble?" the girl asked sharply.

"No, I came here to prevent the Jia family from causing trouble."

"Oh?" The girl's face was full of disbelief.

"Um, I don't know if you're aware that the Hexagram family has been taking frequent actions lately? They've been targeting various aspects of the fourth level."

"Hmph! Who do you think I am? I am Ye Xuefang, the number one representative of the Miscellaneous Valley District. Do you think I don't know these things? Ever since the great upheaval, those insects from the Six-Pointed Star family have been stirring up trouble."

A major upheaval? The riots I started already have names?

Although feeling somewhat ashamed, Di Xing continued, "Don't you find it strange? The greater the earthquake, the more severe the damage should be at the higher levels. Shouldn't they be rushing to repair the damaged base? Why are they so eager to start operations at the lower levels?"

Upon hearing Di Xing's words, Ye Xuefang hesitated somewhat.

Di Xing continued, "There are two possibilities. First, they suffered too many losses and want to increase their exploitation of the fourth level. However, they are already exploiting the fourth level very heavily, so I think this possibility is unlikely."

"And what about the second one?"

"They want to take advantage of the other families' weakness to seize territory."

"what?"

"In this situation, they will definitely increase their exploitation of the lower classes. This is to solidify their own base and prevent other families from taking advantage of them, and secondly, to give themselves enough room to maneuver and attack other families."

"In short, regardless of the circumstances, it seems the entire Hexagram family will be making moves regarding the fourth level soon."

"So you came to ask about those things to find out what actions the Gako family will take towards the Zagu district, is that right?"

"right"

Di Xing hurriedly said

"Xiao Xuefang, just trust him," Ming said, dragging two men in black over. "He helped Ace in the Electric Flower District before, he's a trustworthy person, and besides, he's already offended the Wolf family." Ming said with a smile.

Hearing the voice, Que Yuxiang was overjoyed and rushed to greet him. Ming patted her head.

"Can he really be trusted?" Ye Xuefang still had some doubts.

"Don't worry, don't you believe me?"

Ye Xuefang then reluctantly helped Di Xing untie the ropes.

"The main food product on the fourth floor is potatoes," Que Yuxiang said, appearing more ladylike than the capable Ye Xuefang.

Potatoes are just potatoes. Upon hearing this name, Di Xing immediately thought of the infamous Irish plague, a famine that killed two million people, and the culprit was potato blight.

"Please check immediately for brown spots on the potato leaves. Also, brown streaks may appear on the stems. If so, pick a few leaves with brown spots and place them in a moist petri dish. See if white mycelium grows the next day."

Nami looked at Di Xing with a puzzled expression, "When did you learn how to farm?"

Di Xing scratched his head. "I just read a few books out of interest."

Farming is an interest of every Chinese person!

After giving the two women a few more instructions, Di Xing continued towards the water source.

The pathogen causing potato late blight is Phytophthora infestans, and it grows faster in humid conditions.

The water source was near a large lake, and it's highly likely that the Jia family intended to take advantage of this opportunity to rapidly spread the damage caused by potato late blight.
