Chapter 840 The Gods' Game: Card Swapping 84
What were you thinking about just now?
"What are you thinking?"
"When you wake up."
"You might get angry if I tell you."
"I won't."
Yu Xunge didn't believe it, but she still told the truth.
"I was thinking about how you felt when you missed out on the perfect seven-star hand, and I was thinking about what you once told me, 'It won't stop and wait for you.'" Only now did she realize how much resentment was hidden in those words.
"Actually... they're not that important. It is indeed grand, but life is long. When you grow up, you'll find that there are still many honors waiting for you in Astrana, and many legendary adventures worth singing about by everyone to complete."
Zhu Ri didn't say what "they" actually were, but the two people on the ice field—no, the three people—could all understand.
“But I haven’t grown up yet,” Yu Xunge retorted firmly. “I haven’t grown up yet. In my world, Chasing the Sun and Heavenly Hand Seven are the most dazzling legends. I just thought that if I give up chasing Chasing the Sun and Heavenly Hand Seven now, will I never feel despair and pain?”
"Yes, it hasn't even started yet, there's still time." Zhu Ri's voice was gentler than ever before. For a moment, she seemed to understand the emotions behind the wailing from years ago when she found Queen Cheno.
It wasn't that she didn't trust her apprentice; she was just... perhaps she was afraid.
When she completed the daily milestone, she never thought about getting a perfect 7-star hand for three consecutive years. She only had one goal in mind: a perfect 7-star hand.
But what about Xun Ge? She's too greedy. She wants to chase every moment, she wants a perfect seven-star hand. The pressure is more than a hundred times greater.
She herself urged the apprentice not to take things too slowly, but when the apprentice rushed towards that future with all her might, she felt a pang of reluctance.
Unlike training that teeters on the brink of life and death, even the best medical skills cannot heal the wounds in one's heart, and the strongest resurrection skills cannot bring back a dead dream...
The apprentice's answer interrupted her chaotic thoughts.
“It has already begun! Teacher, my dream began the moment I heard about the daily cycle of the sun.”
She stopped peeking at the Sun and focused on the giant Cherokee worm in front of her, which had 98,723 health points.
"Perhaps even earlier, from the moment I bought myself back from you, I was destined to walk the path you once walked."
"I don't want to wait until later; the best story is right in front of me."
"I am destined to be your apprentice."
...
After adjusting his mindset, Yu Xunge used the giant Cherokee worm as excellent material for practicing his skills.
Not only the Sun Chasing Technique and the Howling Technique, but also all the B-rank to S-rank attack skills learned from Moonlight Wetlands.
She was like a beginner again, starting from scratch to review all her attack skills.
She allows herself to sleep for 10 minutes every hour, letting the worm recover 200 health points, but this allows her to fight longer.
She would have the shadowy figure of "another me" guard her, waking her up when the time came.
She would also set aside thirty seconds to reply to her friends' messages, but unfortunately this was Wailing's private space, where she could only chat. To receive emails, she had to get Wailing's permission, so she couldn't ask her friends to send her some food.
If not, then so be it; she focused all her attention on the lesson content.
She suddenly learned one of the hardest things for young people to learn—patience.
After she regained consciousness, it took her another two months to complete the kill.
The moment a worm opens its eyes and wakes up is also the moment it dies.
Yu Xunge stared blankly at the other person's corpse, unable to believe that she had really completed it.
She leveled up 10 levels in a row, reaching level 27, a level that many fifth-year apprentices reach, much faster than she gained experience in school.
She sat on the ice field, her expression still carrying a hint of bewilderment from suddenly graduating. She opened her panel and looked expectantly at the permanent buff that the wailing voice had mentioned.
A new buff appeared below [Unicorn's Blessing].
【I'm Just This Bored】(Permanent): Each of your combos will increase your attack speed by 0.01 points (if the interval between two attacks exceeds 3 seconds, or if an attack fails to deal damage to any creature or being, it will be considered a combo interruption).
That's 0.01 points of attack speed!
Yu Xunge can now complete one full-force attack every second. If she doesn't have to go all out, she can complete between 1.5 and 1.8 attacks per second.
This data is reflected on the panel as: Attack Speed 1.8.
You don't need to kill anyone; just completing a combo will increase your attack speed by 0.1. What does that mean?
Her attack speed will increase by 1 if she completes 100 combos!
Wouldn't 1000 times be +10?!
Hmph, what "chasing the sun" and "wailing"? From now on, they'll all be called "Little Xun Ge"!
She laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.
He was laughing for half his life when he suddenly collapsed.
One hand supported her thin back. After feeding on worm meat for more than forty days, coupled with excessive exercise, all the fat she had painstakingly gained to grow taller was gone, and she looked like a withered little skeleton.
Her character had three rows of various negative status effects, which reduced her health.
She didn't bring any fallen leaves, so she couldn't use [Endless Autumn] and had to rely on herself.
The hands of the Sun Chaser glowed, and after a top-tier healing technique, all the negative statuses disappeared.
She kicked aside the giant Cherno worm, whose body was mostly mutilated, picked up a dagger that had fallen from it, and then teleported directly to the entrance of Wailing Castle with her apprentice. After entering, she went upstairs.
Wailing watched as the apprentice's leg was dragged along the ground... Zhu Ri didn't even bother to lift it up; she simply let her right hand hang down naturally, grabbed the apprentice by the back of his collar, and walked upstairs.
Wailing, holding her teacup with her little finger raised, couldn't help but say, "...I thought you would carry her on your back."
Every day, he gave her a look of utter disgust.
The howling didn't let her off so easily. She shouted at the retreating figure of the sun-chasing one, "What's wrong? What's wrong? I used to carry you back all the time, you poor dwarf, carrying your beloved apprentice on my back like a mule. Have you forgotten all that? You ungrateful little brat!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Zhu Ri got angry at this point and stopped on the stairs to turn around and argue with her: "Yes, it's such a coincidence that you always 'carry' me back when it's pouring rain!! I've never seen a mule use a fairy as an umbrella!"
"...Is it my fault? Who made it so that my passive skill prevented me from moving you around?"
"I don't want to talk to you anymore." This explanation didn't convince her, and she stomped on the floorboards until they creaked every day.
"If you step on it and damage it, it'll be on your tab!"
The footsteps disappeared instantly.
