Chapter 816 The Gods' Game: Card Swapping 60
After opening the door, Yu Xunge was stunned for a moment. There was a notebook on the table.
The familiar cover—the kind that the Mad Rabbit Bookstore next to Rock and Roll Locusts sells off at a clearance sale; you can buy 15 copies for 1 gold coin.
Have I come here every day?
How did she manage to get to the academy's boathouse?
This has multiple layers of protection!
Impressed by Zhu Ri's power, and determined to learn this from him when she got back, Yu Xunge rushed over and grabbed the notebook at top speed.
It was covered with countless magical patterns and runes.
This is another skill that requires practice—[Instant Step]
A short-range movement skill that can be instantly cast once you reach S rank, with only a 2-second cooldown.
The last sentence in the notes read: "If you can train to SSS rank, you can be as unstoppable as me."
Got it, it was over before the shields and protective skills could react!
...
On the third day, the second game of the gods began, this time revealing the Radiant Gold Cards – the team competition.
A competition that requires a team of five apprentices to qualify.
Yu Xunge stayed in the boathouse to watch the battle.
As the competition began, she also learned about the function of the citizen's pass.
The team competition is set in a demon city, where each team will be scattered and randomly descend upon the city. The apprentices are believers of the gods.
The team's mission is to find five identical demon statues scattered throughout the demon city and destroy them simultaneously within three minutes of each other, otherwise the destroyed demon statue will be resurrected with the help of the other four demon statues.
If all five identical demon statues can be completely destroyed, the protective shield of the demon city will disappear.
The first team to destroy five identical demon statues wins.
The citizen pass allows participants to move freely within the city without being hunted down by city guards.
This significantly reduces the difficulty in finding energy sources.
Just as Yu Xunge had worried, the team competition was full of tests of human nature. Is there really such a thing as an unbreakable bond in the world?
Perhaps the game developers are aware of this, which is why there is a hidden mission in every team match.
If a participant's team completes the hidden mission before other teams complete their team competition missions, that team will directly win the team competition championship.
This year's hidden mission is to kill the lord of the Demon City.
No one knows who the city lord is, where the city lord is, or what level the city lord is.
However, if someone in the team betrays them, or if someone dies before completing the task, then this hidden task is the only way to win.
Yu Xunge thought of the team competition winning photos of Zhu Ri and Tian Hu Hao Qi from those years.
They won the team championship for four years. The team in the photo changes every year. Apart from Chasing the Sun and Ashes, only one black cat has remained the same.
The black cat sometimes crouched on Chasing the Sun's boots with its four paws together, sometimes on Wasteland's boots, and sometimes ran laps around several teammates, but it was indeed the only third teammate who never changed.
The most unique aspect of team competitions is that there is a possibility that no champion will emerge.
When only one-tenth of the participants remain, the game will enter cleanup mode, regardless of whether there are still complete teams in the game that are likely to complete the mission or are currently completing the mission.
All participants will be marked, and the indigenous people will obtain the participants' coordinates and information. They will then hunt down and kill the remaining participants until all participants are eliminated from the game.
This year's team competition lasted for three days before ending in cleanup mode.
When the cleanup mode started, a small number of players were still struggling to complete the mission, but unfortunately no miracles happened.
After three days of playing the game, Yu Xunge encountered many formidable opponents that he hadn't faced in the fun matches before.
However, looking at the whole picture, what she cares about most are the contestants she had briefly clashed with before.
Feng Ji, Mo Ji, Song Gui, Bo Mang, Kuang Feng, Sang Bei, Ku Fu, Yu Lu... these are all rivals who were born in the same year as Yu Xun Ge.
Whether it was her own experience teaching at Moonlight Wetlands or the various geniuses she knew, she deeply understood one truth—miracles are extremely rare in the world, and most true geniuses begin to shine in their early stages of development.
Although Moonlight Wetland divides students into classes for each lesson, the results of each class division vary to some extent.
But based on what she saw in the SSS class, apart from her, the other four spots kept changing and remained the same.
She could recite the list by heart: Fog Blade, Maple Syrup, Fat Goose, Motorcycle, Bear Mud, Cookie, Echoing Years, Jade Crack.
She has the thought, "I really want to improve," and these guys each have their own mysterious ways of increasing their attributes.
Unlike her, who could only steal attributes from the arena during holidays, these guys' attributes increased much faster than hers during school, and they haven't been caught by Teacher Moonlight Wetlands yet.
While a small number of the older contestants were indeed stronger than them, that difference was built up over time, not by aptitude or effort.
They didn't have much time left. Yu Xunge didn't see anyone among the senior apprentices who she felt she couldn't defeat or surpass.
Only those apprentices of the same grade as Yu Xunge will be her important opponents in the God Games over the next four years; they will constantly meet and clash with each other.
She had to run every minute and every second, just as she had said, instead of walking slowly.
The game ended, and the golden portal descended.
There was no champion in this year's God Games team competition.
Another year without a perfect 7-star draw. Everyone's gotten used to it, and some have even started to forget that there was such a hidden project.
The audience did not experience the disappointment, anger, hatred, or outburst of cursing that Yu Xunge had imagined.
They enjoy watching the game; they care whether the game is exciting enough, but as for the result?
They cheer when they win a championship, but not winning one doesn't affect their lives.
It's always been like this, always has been like this. It's been a long time since a competition like this has produced any stories that are so exciting and thrilling that they're still worth reminiscing about years later.
I heard that more than 30 years ago, when the Gods' Game started every year, the world would almost come to a standstill, and everyone who was still breathing would watch the Gods' Game.
Yu Xunge turned and left the deck, returning to the boathouse.
She unrolled a roll of parchment, cut it into dozens of pieces, drew each of the images she had seen on the first hundred screens, and then pieced them together.
Yu Xunge drew every demon statue that appeared on the first hundred screens, with exquisite detail and almost a one-to-one reproduction.
She initially followed Sivana to learn art in order to sculpt more exquisite summer snowmen, also because Zhu Ri had suggested that she try learning art or music.
She had planned to stop learning the skill once she could rewind ten times by creating the snowman, but she discovered that the [Summer Snowman] skill was not as simple as she had imagined.
In her opinion, the snowman was already very exquisite. Once, she even spent two days meticulously sculpting her own snowman in front of the mirror, but the number of rollbacks was still stuck at 7.
She asked Shyvana, but Shyvana was unable to provide an answer.
"If I told you that you would know when the time comes, you would definitely say that I was fooling you, but that's the truth. If I told you many things directly, it would lose its meaning."
Okay, considering that Sivana always gave her extra help after class, she accepted the answer.
