Chapter 827 The Gods' Game: Card Swapping 71

The gentlest minotaur stated matter-of-factly, "She must have information that none of us have."

The fat goose straightened its back: "No wonder! I knew I couldn't be that stupid."

Mistblade and Maple Syrup's expressions relaxed a bit.

Yes, it's not that they can't keep up with the brain.

The blood elf asked, "Besides going out to gather intelligence on the other apprentices, what has she been doing these days?"

Fat Goose asked, "Do the map and those statues count?"

"So...she was aiming for the championship from the very beginning?"

Maple Syrup looked at the blood elf who had spoken with a puzzled expression, as if she had said something strange: "Of course, not for the championship. Why would she participate?"

The blood elf said softly, "I thought she was just testing the waters."

Black Cat suddenly said, "Do you know why she made you leave the team back then? It's because you always thought 'I'll give it a try this time,' instead of thinking like her, 'The championship will only belong to me.'"

After those words, the atmosphere around the blood elf and the black cat instantly became stagnant and oppressive.

Fogblade and the others didn't dare to breathe loudly, and even the minotaur didn't dare to say a word.

After a long silence, the blood elf forced a smile and said in a dry voice, "She wouldn't think that way."

The black cat was annoyed by this rebuttal and questioned, "Then what do you think she would think?"

The blood elf gazed at the apprentice on the first screen, whose eyes were firm and fearless, seemingly carrying a dazzling edge. In a daze, her figure overlapped with that of Chasing the Sun in her memory.

She said in an almost murmured voice, "She would think, this is my era, I chase the sun, and all living beings chase me."

This time, the black cat didn't argue.

...

Yu Xunge never considered using the Fog Blade's copying skill to take a shortcut.

It's not that she inherently dislikes shortcuts, but rather that she worries that shortcuts might affect the final outcome.

She would rather spend more time collecting all the [Demon Tokens] than miss the opportunity because of this one mistake.

Of course, she didn't think that other players would instantly understand how to play the game after seeing what she did.

The placement of the statue is also important.

The demon statues were all kept at a certain distance from each other; they could be far apart, but never too close.

The only slightly troublesome thing is that the [Demon Tokens] in the hands of the residents here will disappear when they die. Only the [Demon Tokens] that players obtain in fun matches and team matches will be dropped depending on the life or death of the participants.

This meant that she could only hunt down contestants who possessed the [Demon Token], and as far as she knew, there were no more than 20 such contestants.

She decided to kill as many as she could, to get as many "Demon Tokens" in the game as possible. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, such as the statue being destroyed, she could replace it in time and also increase the difficulty of the game for other players.

She followed the notifications on her wristwatch and went wherever there was excitement.

Players who have the [Demon Token] and don't have to worry about being targeted by the police are most excited to join in this kind of fun.

You might not encounter them once or twice, but after four, five, six times... the more times you do it, the more likely Yu Xunge will run into apprentices wearing the [Demon Token].

This is much more convenient and faster than searching aimlessly; that's how she searched before.

As she pursued and collected items with a specific purpose, the audience outside the arena understood what she was looking for.

But what is the connection between collecting [Demon Tokens] and the individual race's game missions?

And how many have been collected already? Seven, eight... the ninth!

She finally stopped!

Yu Xunge glanced at the sky; three hours had passed. When she was collecting the sixth item, apprentices started competing with her. She wondered if they had discovered the answer to the game, realized it was a clue, or simply wanted to steal the identity.

She wasn't sure, but she was going to take action.

But what exactly is one's own key?

She went back to the ice cream shop, where the guy named Boiling Orange was scooping ice cream with a disgruntled expression.

His eyes lit up when he looked up and saw her: "You've come at the perfect time! Since I let you discover the answer to the game, could you help me deliver the ice cream to the old town later? Just to that polar bear!"

“Okay.” Yu Xunge stated his condition, “As long as you are willing to tell me why your key is a burning orange.”

"Oh, there's nothing wrong with talking about that. Have you ever heard of the Soul Flame? My Soul Flame is a burning orange."

As Yu Xunge walked out of the ice cream shop carrying a large box of ice cream, she became even more confused. She had never seen her own soul fire; she had only seen it with each passing day.

No matter how many times she asked what her soul fire looked like, Zhu Ri would never tell her.

During her absence, the old town was bustling with activity, and none of the apprentices who came with Xun Ge were able to leave.

Those still alive saw Xun Ge carrying an ice cream box in the dark and thought it was something good. Yu Xun Ge is still the Pinduoduo version of Yu Xun Ge now. She kills one by one. Even those with stronger attributes than her can be outlasted by her.

After some effort, she arrived at the White Bear's door and knocked: "Hello, I'm here to deliver ice cream for Boiling Orange."

The door opened automatically, and the polar bear was still repairing his gashapon machine-like device. A mantis, who had come to visit, was standing on the cloud table in the yard.

Yu Xunge placed the ice cream next to the orchid mantis, but did not leave.

Without looking up, the polar bear asked, "What is it?"

Yu Xunge asked respectfully, "Excuse me, besides skills, is there any other way to make someone see one's soul fire?"

The polar bear gave her a strange look: "Why do you need a method other than skills?"

Yu Xunge explained, "My teacher said that the ability to see the soul fire is very rare."

The polar bear stared wide-eyed in surprise: "Isn't this just a very ordinary skill? Most slightly skilled players have it, right?"

Yu Xunge's eyes widened as well: "Is that so? But..."

But the daily legend is rarely seen, and she has never seen it in the Moonlight Wetlands, nor among the apprentices participating in the divine games.

The polar bear sighed, "Players have different levels of strength, so they see different things. It's okay, I can understand."

Because he was too lazy to deal with the apprentices, he ran to the Qi Hua family to escape to peace and quiet. "..." He couldn't listen anymore.

Yu Xunge retorted dryly, "My teacher is very capable."

The white bear didn't argue, but just smiled nonchalantly. This attitude made Yu Xunge feel that what she said for Zhu Ri was like a child throwing a tantrum.

Before Yu Xunge could figure out how to vindicate Zhu Ri, the white bear seemed to have had enough fun. It waved its paw and said, "Go ahead, the answer is in the game. Anyone can find it."

The orchid mantis on the table suddenly spoke up: "You reminded her again!"

The polar bear was taken aback; it hadn't!

Looking up, I saw Xiao Zaijiu Xun Ge staring intently at his wristwatch.

The polar bear looked at the orchid mantis, its eyes filled with injustice: I really didn't mean to remind her this time.

The next second, Yu Xunge took out a [Demon Token] from his pocket and crushed it with all his might.

With the sound of flames igniting, the shattered certificate transformed into a light and shadow image appearing in mid-air.

It was a comet flying upwards. She had only heard about how beautiful comets were before, but now that she had seen it with her own eyes, she realized that those rumors were true. It was a radiant body that was more beautiful than the sun, moon and stars!

It has a long tail that is almost twice as long as her, and hidden in the long tail are many stars of different sizes.

It was as if a comet had just passed through the starry night sky.

Their size does not increase with the distance from the comet's glow body, but the star closest to the comet's glow body is indeed the largest of all the stars.

The comet's pale blue glow illuminated the stars, making it impossible to discern their colors without close inspection, as they were obscured by the comet's dazzling light.

"Is this... my soul fire?"

"Um."

The apprentice remained silent for a long time, then the polar bear asked, "You don't like it?"

"I love it! Of course I love it... I understand what they are, this is the me I imagine myself to be."

The stars in the long tail are all important existences in her life. They are so important that they are a part of her life and a part of her soul. However, it is always herself who controls the direction of her life and decides where she will ultimately go.

She wanted the world to witness the moment of chasing the sun once again. She wanted to obtain the Heavenly Seven, for the sake of chasing the sun, and also for the ambition ignited by chasing the sun!

Each day ushered in a new era, and so could she.

They will all have their own blues moments.
