Chapter 886 Gods' Game: Card Swapping 130
This was indeed a force that Yu Xunge could not contend with.
She and the angler were still evenly matched, but she couldn't drag him into the water. So, if they remained locked in a stalemate until she ran out of strength, she would definitely lose.
Moreover, there were no fish around her that she could drag into the water.
Her previous actions deterred most of her apprentices from approaching her, making it impossible for her to replicate her methods.
There's no hope for a wooden bridge. There are no wooden stakes under the bridge, as if it were designed to prevent anglers and fish from getting tangled in the fishing line.
What about the small boat?
The boat at sea was too far for her to cross, and the fishing line wasn't long enough.
As Yu Xunge swam across the sea, he scanned the surface and finally swam toward the direction of the black wave he had seen earlier.
The wooden bridge where the black wavy curler was located was slightly shorter than the one where the polar bear was located, but it was a corner and directly opposite the direction where the polar bear was located. As long as she could jump over the wooden bridge and loop the fishing line around it, she could use the strength of the wooden bridge!
Moreover, there's a lone boat nearby that hasn't gone out to sea. Whether it's crossing the wooden bridge around the corner or that small boat, it's a good option to wind the fishing line onto it.
Blue Blue darted forward, leaving a white trail on the sea. As the polar bear kept pulling the rod, Blue Blue floated out of the water several times, making it appear as if it were walking on the waves.
The process was not smooth; the polar bear seemed to have sensed her intentions and pulled her back several times.
The woman with the black wavy hair seemed to have sensed her intentions, and she turned her gaze in this direction to watch the spectacle.
Blue Spot charged toward the wooden bridge time and time again, only to be pulled back each time by the polar bear that was taller than all the buildings behind it.
The polar bear seemed to have had enough of playing the fish, so it started to back away step by step, placing its paws on the reel to begin reeling in the line...
Yu Xunge's swimming limits were also constantly receding.
On the largest screen in Golden Hills, everyone could see Blue Spot swimming forward with all its might, but they could also see that Polar Bear was starting to reel in the line.
Viewers can't see the specific skill information and skill names of the bait, but the game is really considerate.
Above the screen is a light bar the same length as the screen itself, divided into ten short segments. The more segments that light up, and the closer they are to the top, the more important the skill "bait" is in the apprentice's mind.
At this moment, all ten light bars on the light bar at the top of the screen lit up, indicating that the apprentice considered this bait extremely important and could not bear to lose it.
Blood Elf: "It should be a divinely bestowed talent skill."
Black Cat: "It could also be some kind of top-notch skill that Zhu Ri taught her."
Blood Elf: "Sigh, this game is really disadvantageous for players who need to use weapons. Their core skills are all related to weapons. In previous games, they could steal weapons or make their own, but now they don't even have hands, so how can they use weapons? Magic users are much stronger."
The pink-haired dwarf stared seriously at the blue spotted creature on the screen. Hearing this, she said, "Who says you can't use weapons? If she doesn't get it herself, nothing she learns will help."
Blood Elf: "...Would you mind telling me your name?"
Pink-haired dwarf: "What is it?"
Blood Elf: "No, I just want to know why you're so confident."
The pink-haired dwarf's face had just shown a mocking smile, and she was about to spray venom when she suddenly stopped. She stared at the screen and said, "Here it comes!"
The blood elf immediately looked at the screen.
Suddenly, the blue spotted fish on the sea emitted a light. Was it... about to evolve?!
Cough, no, it's a kind of skill!
She's trying to use her skills!
As he was being pulled backward by the fishing hook, Yu Xunge repeatedly examined and analyzed the skills he could currently use.
The optimal solution seems to be "timewalking," which allows her to escape the hook as long as she leaves the current timeline.
But she remembered the game mechanics: skills were ineffective against bait and anglers, meaning she could escape, but the bait wouldn't follow her...
This bait is so important that even if she escapes, she will definitely come back.
Moreover, just like the white-robed man before her, this angler was unable to avoid the danger of the angler lifting the hook, even though she sensed it.
Perhaps they were more skilled fishermen, more focused on their fishing, or perhaps their fishing rods were better—she couldn't verify it—but she knew her chances of catching something again wouldn't be small...
This means that even if she tries several more times, as long as she doesn't give up on this bait, and as long as she gets hooked, she is likely to fall into the same predicament again, and she can only try to find a way to solve it.
【Time Walk】No, what about the other skills... She has only regained no more than 10 skills.
She thought back to a long time ago, before she entered the Moonlight Wetlands, when she had so few skills.
On her way to Garbage Street, she would always ask Zhu Ri if he could teach her a few more skills.
She asked every day, and the answer was different every day.
"The more skills you have, the more choices you have. When you encounter a desperate situation, you will always think about which skill to use instead of thinking about how else to use this skill to solve the current predicament."
"Top-tier assassins don't need that many skills."
"In the end, you'll find that you only use a few skills most often."
— “Learn to cherish every skill you learn.”
"The greedy cubs will be snatched away by the dwarves while they are sleeping at night and sold for gold coins."
She then recalled asking Zhu Ri during the winter break of her first year if she could switch to distance learning.
Zhu Ri looked very unhappy at the time, but still asked her for a reason.
She swallowed the reason that "ranged combat makes me feel like I'll survive longer," which would definitely get her a beating if she said it out loud. She told Zhu Ri that ranged combat doesn't have such strict requirements for weapons, and it's okay if you don't have any weapons. Magic-based combat is pretty good.
She refused each day, and then gave her reasons.
"We're not that demanding when it comes to weapons. If you want, teeth can be used as weapons. Didn't you use your throat-slitting technique to bite an enemy to death in the arena?"
Okay, she's right, and the sun is always right.
——【Bone Removal & Sun Chasing】！！
She used herself as a blade, and the sea as her spine! She performed a bone-scraping operation right up to the sea!
Blue Bluefish swiftly sliced through the sea, creating towering waves over two meters high in its wake. Just moments before, it had been dragged backward, but now it had advanced dozens of meters in an instant. The reel on the fishing rod went out of control, and the fishing line that had just been reeled in was stretched out again.
Time and again, as Yu Xunge was picking bones at sea, the fishing line snapped before he could even leap across the wooden bridge and tie it to the corner.
She regained her freedom and also got back her "No. 710 school rule".
The polar bear returned to its normal size, looked at its broken fishing rod, and smiled in a way that revealed neither joy nor anger.
Dullness was still holding his tiny fishing rod and tug-of-war with Tiger Ear Flawless. He didn't say anything to Deceitful Flower, after all, he could tell that Deceitful Flower was really serious. Maybe he didn't go all out, but he was definitely serious.
They were even more serious than they were at the food street.
Even the captain didn't make any jokes.
"Carrying wine and seeking songs" truly broke free of the fishing line and snatched the bait through sheer skill.
Off the field, the pink-haired dwarf chuckled and nodded: "Not bad."
The blood elf took a deep breath, his expression twisted as he turned to the black cat and asked, "If I can't help but fight her later, will you heal me?"
The black cat, which had been staring at the pink-haired dwarf for a while, looked away and turned to the blood elf, saying firmly, "I won't."
Blood Elf: "..." Why is this fragile cat acting like this?!
