Chapter 801 The Gods' Game: Card Swapping 45
"...And so, after eight hundred rounds of fierce fighting, I, your most outstanding apprentice, defeated Master Tenko Goichi!"
"This was a battle worth writing into the history book of Moonlight Wetland. It's a pity that Teacher Tianhu Haoqi cleared the field in advance. Sigh."
"After defeating my teacher, I learned a skill called [Legendary Prologue]."
"If every legend needs a proper beginning, then this very second will be it."
"Teacher, think about it carefully! This skill is amazing, isn't it?"
"Teacher Tianhu Haoqi was also very surprised. She laughed for a long time. I thought she was making fun of me. Then she taught me a skill called 'Rule No. 711'. She said that I wouldn't be angry after I knew it."
"She said that you both learned this skill and [Rule No. 710] on the same day. I'm really curious about what happened that day."
"But I have to say, if I were to write an autobiography someday, the prologue would definitely be about how I got a beating from some elf on the banks of the river under the Caladom Bridge!"

…
After registering, time seemed to fly by. Yu Xunge felt that she had just exceeded five sets of autumn leaves (999 per set) in her bag, and it was time to start collecting winter snow.
However, she had collected enough snow. Snowballs were difficult to stack, but she had three compartments in her bag specifically for storing snowballs. Each snowball could make at least tens of thousands of small snowmen, which would be enough for her for a long time.
Under Shyvana's tutelage, she has not only become a skilled painter, but her snowmen are also becoming increasingly exquisite, with each snowman being rolled back up to 7 times.
Even for students with overly complex appearances, Yu Xunge's snowmen can be reverted 6 times, making her summer snowmen very popular in Moonlight Wetlands.
The closer it gets to the Winter Veil holiday, the more depressed Fat Goose and Maple Syrup become.
In the past six months, maple syrup has become increasingly indifferent.
Although on the surface she is still the same as before, chatting and laughing, with a generous personality and an occasional liking for pranks, she will generally help anyone who asks for her help.
Only close friends like Xun Ge knew that Maple Sugar's heart had changed, as if a thick layer of ice was gradually enveloping her.
However, she doesn't bring up what happened to her, and Xun Ge Wu Ren and the others don't ask. They only help when Feng Tang explicitly says she needs help.
As for Fat Goose, he had endless letters to write to his adoptive parents and biological parents. Occasionally, he also had to help both sets of parents with household matters. He used up a bottle of ink every week.
His problem wasn't complicated. His adoptive parents paid for his schooling, and he would repay them many times over when he grew up. There wasn't much of a deep emotional bond between them. Fat Goose saw it as a transaction, and coincidentally, his adoptive parents thought the same way.
But this harmony ended the day Fat Goose's biological parents came looking for him—he always sounded sarcastic whenever the word "biological" was mentioned.
In short, he's like a sandwich filling now; every time he receives a letter from them, the fat goose loses its appetite that day.
He has said more than once that he should have sold himself to Zhu Ri in the first place.
Fat Goose never uttered such a sigh again after Fogblade told him the amount of gold coins he owed to Chasing the Sun.
He insisted that his life wasn't worth that much.
Yu Xunge said to Wu Ren, "...After hearing what he said, shouldn't we thank Zhu Ri for driving up our price?"
Mistblade: "...I calculated it yesterday, and I only spent less than 10,000 gold, but the daily bill shows that I owe 130,000 gold, 22 silver, and 7 copper coins. I don't know how she calculated this amount."
Maple Syrup, who was spreading honey on bread nearby, said, "It's probably just a string of numbers that was written down randomly."
Fogblade pointed at Maple Syrup and said to Xun Ge, "What she said is very likely the truth."
Yu Xunge nodded repeatedly: "I think so too. My bill is 310,000 gold coins. I'm only 13 years old. I suspect that by this time next year, the number on the bill will be 410,000."
Fat Goose picked up his knife and fork again: "Thank you. I suddenly have an appetite. Compared to your bill, what happened to me is really nothing."
The motorcycle that had been sitting diagonally opposite them, eavesdropping with its mechanical ears, was amused.
...
Yu Xunge spent Winter Veil at home, but she had to rush back to Moonlight Wetlands on the 2nd. On the morning of the 3rd, the teachers and students who had signed up for the competition from Moonlight Wetlands would travel together to Ashenvale via a large teleportation array, where this year's God Games would be held.
Non-participating students who want to go to Ashenvale to watch the Gods Game can also go, but they will have to pay for travel and accommodation, which will cost 300 gold coins in total.
That's equivalent to one-tenth of the tuition for the first semester of third grade.
But Fogblade Fat Goose and Maple Syrup will both go, since they have good friends at this year's God Games, how could they not go?
However, during the meal, Zhu Ri never mentioned whether he would go or not; instead, he wailed and laughed, saying that he would definitely go.
As a former top-ranked player, she was invited to participate in the Gods' Game every year, but she was too lazy to go in the past. However, this year is different.
Yu Xunge glanced at Zhu Ri out of the corner of her eye. The latter was eating seriously and showed no intention of participating in the topic.
The next day, Zhu Ri showed no sign of giving Yu Xunge any surprises. When Yu Xunge left for school with Wu Ren in the morning, Zhu Ri was no longer at home.
After leaving the house, Mistblade asked in a low voice, "Why does Sun Chaser seem to dislike the God Games so much?"
Yu Xunge couldn't help but glance at Wu Ren, whose eyes were full of doubt and confusion.
Fogblade really likes God Game. After watching God Game last year, she talked about it for at least two months. She even has at least a thousand gold coins worth of God Game merchandise in her room.
If he hadn't known about the hidden resurrection rules of Moonlight Wetlands in the God's Game, Mist Blade might have signed up with him.
But even such a mist blade doesn't know the time of day or the specific moment of each day...
She might have known about the story of the Gods' Game from a few years ago, but 37 years is too far away.
For the 13-year-old apprentice, 37 years seemed like a story from several lifetimes ago.
No matter how glorious each day may be, it will eventually be buried by time.
A wave of bitterness and resentment washed over Yu Xunge, and he said earnestly, "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that the current god games don't meet Zhu Ri's standards."
"What's the meaning?"
"It means that only when Tianhu Haoqi is activated is he worthy of being seen by Zhu Ri."
Two small figures gradually disappeared into the distance. The apprentice walked towards the direction where the sun was rising, his shadow lengthened by the morning sunlight.
With his hands behind his head, Zhu Ri lay on his rooftop, staring unblinkingly at the cloudless sky, as if he could see flowers in it.
What's up in the sky?
A wailing sound rose up beside her.
Zhu Ri's voice was languid and hoarse, as if she had just woken up. She said, "The sun is rising, what else could it be?"
