Chapter 938 AS174: Starting with the championship, telling the world I'm back.

Maple Syrup's gaze suddenly stopped. There was something different about the huge "2" that almost spanned the entire library, the number formed by countless fluorescent lights.

But the next second she couldn't see anything anymore, as if her eyes were playing tricks on her.

No, she couldn't possibly be seeing things; she believed her own eyes!

Time continued to move forward, 8 seconds... 7 seconds...

She retained the [Kiefer Angelfish] ability because she defeated the Anglers League, so she should also have retained the [Blue Spot] ability!

She had once witnessed how Zai Jiu Xun Ge, as a blue spot, dissolved into the water...

The lightning cup rapidly condensed and rushed towards a spot of light. Upon arrival, the golden beer cup exploded before the liquid inside could even condense!

The point of light instantly teleported and disappeared from its original spot. It was precisely because of this instantaneous movement from stillness to motion that everyone could see what the point of light was—an orchid mantis!

Under the influence of the Library Eye, the orchid mantis emits a soft white light, resembling a firefly.

She's always been hiding in numbers!

This is the most conspicuous place, the place that everyone can see.

And on several occasions, thanks to the Blue Spot's ability to blend into its surroundings, it evaded critical searches.

But it was too late...

The moment she was discovered, Yu Xunge dodged the beer glass and immediately hid in the shadow world, thus avoiding the "protagonist time" when the motorcycle started.

Time was slowed down, causing Maple Syrup to get stuck in the world outside the shadows and unable to enter.

Those five seconds felt incredibly long to everyone.

The same applies to the audience.

From the moment they began hiding in the Moonlight Wetlands, they observed the competition from a god-like perspective.

They watched as the apprentices scratched their heads and ran around every corner looking for the apprentice's shadow. And it was precisely because of their constant running around that the librarian's primary target always avoided the orchid mantis hiding in the central island.

They switch back and forth between the perspectives of Xun Ge and the other apprentices. The former gives them the thrill of "no one can find me" and the tension of being found the next second. The latter gives them the frustration and anxiety of "why don't you look in the middle?"

Look at that librarian on the third floor! He's winked dozens of times at the orchid mantis hidden among the numbers! Look! He's practically shouting to you, "Where's the song?!"

3……2……1……

Even the longest protagonist's time will eventually come to an end.

Above the white sails, screen after screen began to shatter.

The largest screen captured everyone's attention, and on the screen, the orchid mantis, which had become crystal clear from being bathed in a beam of light, raised its forelegs.

The screen disappeared, transforming into azure flames that formed a line of words familiar to loyal viewers of the game: "Moonlight Wetlands, Seeking Song"!

The roars and screams of tens of millions of spectators almost crossed half of the desert, reaching the nearest small town.

The corner card fell, and all the apprentices still in the game were teleported out.

Within the azure pillar of light in the sky, the orchid mantis, so small it was almost invisible, transformed back into its true form. Her face and black uniform were now spotless, and she raised her dagger, proclaiming, "Perhaps some of you have forgotten my name."

The audience fell silent; everyone wanted to hear what she had to say.

"But it's okay, because in the next few days..."

She swung her dagger down, aiming directly at the name formed by the gathering blue flames in the air.

"It will remind you again and again."

“The apprentice who chases the sun has returned.”

After a brief silence, cheers, even louder than before, erupted once again.

The black cat had already leaped onto the blood elf's head, raising its paw high: "Long live the Apprentice Sunseeker!!!"

Blood Elf: "...Please don't love me too much, okay?"

Black Cat: "Wuhu~ Xun Ge is the one who shouldn't love too much. At such a heart-stirring moment, she always says she's an apprentice of the Sun Chaser, instead of giving her real name!"

Zhu Ri: "...Could you please keep your voice down?"

Black Cat: "Look!!! That's Zhu Ri from The Apprentice of the Sun!"

Blood Elf: "Perhaps you have already forgotten her name!"

Black Cat: "But it's okay!"

Blood Elf: "Because I forgot too."

Black Cat: "..."

day by day:"………………"

Black Cat: "How could you interrupt with lines like that?!"

It started scratching the blood elf's hair and they began to playfully fight.

...

"Where was Qi Hua sent?"

"The cooking teacher really had to retaliate this time! It's infuriating, I feel so sorry for her!"

"Exactly, it hurt so much, how could they just send him away like that?"

"It's okay. Whoever saved the scene of her crying while waiting for a song during the time stop just now, send it to Qi Hua. She'll cheer herself up."

"She didn't need to. She was there at the time, and I was afraid she would laugh!"

"I noticed that after Zaijiu Xunge won the championship with the Orchid Mantis, even the dull-witted man's complexion became rosy."

“Every time the drummer winks at Zaijiu Xunge to remind the other players, Yudun rolls his eyes at him.”

"So, did you find the woman who cheated on the flower?"

"Found her, she's already gone to her lab to make figurines."

"What kind of figurine?"

"Just... a toy that's pitifully standing in front of Zelan Mist Blade, crying."

“I asked, and it’s still a sprinkler system; she wants to use it to water the flowers.”

"That's outrageous! I'm going to reserve one..."

"I want one too!"

...

Looking at the "Carrying Wine and Singing" boat in the sky, Maple Syrup pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling a slight headache.

If her carelessness could be explained away in the previous God Games, she truly went all out in this match, even at the cost of exposing her divine relics.

With the new rule that divine relics and divine voices cannot be hidden, the cost of such behavior is self-evident.

All eyes were on her, wondering whose skill she had borrowed, but little did they know that she hadn't borrowed anyone's skill at all; she was hiding right under everyone's noses.

Although she dreamed of killing the captain, she knew the madman's logic.

What he wants most right now is for her to rebuild Senhai, so his suggestion that "if you want to rebuild Senhai, don't let her get the perfect seven-star draw" is not false.

If the first match were a team match, she could have kicked Zaijiu Xunge out of the team as soon as the game started, forcing her to win by completing the hidden team match mission alone.

She was willing to bear the name of despicable as long as she could prevent Zaijiu Xunge from winning again.

But that won't work now; the other side has definitely become wary...

Zaijiu Xunge looked down and their eyes met.

Under the former's gaze, Maple Syrup took out a glass of wine, swirled it in front of Zai Jiu Xun Ge from a distance, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

The glass was turned upside down, and not a drop of the wine called "Senhai" remained.

She didn't know why she hadn't been able to drink the wine after regaining her memories.

But it's not too late to drink it now.
