Chapter 929 AS174: The Captain
The barista glanced at the light screen at the bottom of the stairs and left with regret.
Perhaps to explain that he hadn't intentionally let Zai Jiu Xun Ge go, Rabbit followed behind and explained, "Don't worry, Yu Dun is on the third floor."
"Really? Then what's the difference between her going home and going out for drinks and songs? She's happy again."
"Do you have some misunderstanding about the two of us?"
"I only trust the captain now."
"...That's worse than being dull-witted. Do you know that the captain started paying attention to 'Carrying Wine and Searching for Songs' no later than us?"
“Of course I know, but it’s different.” The barista stopped and, ignoring the urging of the divine game, turned to look at the rabbit seriously. “You and Dullton like a player because you like to play with her and cause her trouble. You don’t care about her temporary success or failure. You nurture her and try to understand her thoughts and desires, but the captain thinks it’s too early to care about these things before the world is destroyed.”
"...I almost forgot that the captain can be quite crazy sometimes."
"Even if I'm on the same side as the captain, I have to admit that being liked by the captain is a misfortune," the barista said.
"You remembered, didn't you? Remember how He made Zelan Maple Sugar fail back then? She almost defended Senhai, but in the captain's opinion, only ships that have been through storms are qualified to sail on the sea, and only by experiencing the shattering of the world can one see a player's true nature."
"The best way to hone a player is to let her experience the process of a world being shattered and then rebuilding it through her own efforts."
"You and I both know that the breaking of Zaijiu is the most crucial step in the reconstruction of Senhai. The last piece of Senhai is Zaijiu."
When the barista mentioned Zeeland maple syrup, Qi Hua already understood.
The breaking of the wine vessel and the reshaping of the forest are not only related to the captain's final step in sculpting Zephyranthes maple syrup, but also to the beginning of His cultivation plan for the wine-seeking song.
Under the rabbit's watchful eye, the barista quietly stated the conclusion:
"He won't let her win the bet; He won't let her get the perfect seven."
Is the reputation of Moonlight Wetlands in Astranagau high?
Gao is arguably the player with the highest reputation and achievements at the current stage of the game.
But as long as the Heavenly Hand Seven doesn't appear, the game won't end prematurely.
Once the game's timeline extends, given her personality of seeking wine and song, and her lack of interest in fame, fortune, and status, she will inevitably fade from people's sight, just like Zhu Ri.
Therefore, she will definitely not be the winner of this game of gods.
...
The gaming environment on the 3rd floor is much better than on the 2nd floor; at least there are no rabbits relentlessly chasing after her anymore.
I don’t know if she’s just imagining things, but whenever she stays in one place for even a little longer, even if she thinks she’s hidden herself well enough, several librarians are secretly moving closer to her.
It's not a big problem.
The orchid mantis hopped around the library like a grasshopper, searching for numbers.
However, a new problem has arisen: most of the publicly available data has already been found.
Nowadays, most of the apprentices in the library each have a book in their hands and are trying to find numbers in it.
Meanwhile, all the apprentices were secretly observing the other apprentices.
The answer to the question is obvious: learn it from other apprentices.
The temporary whip in the vending machine is one way, but would killing other apprentices allow you to obtain all of their numbers?
The orchid mantis sat in the corner of a bookshelf that hadn't been completely destroyed yet, with a book in front of her. She carefully turned the pages with her forelegs, afraid of damaging the book.
Suddenly, she vanished from her spot and reappeared behind the book. The attack missed, but the attacker began to circle the book, trying to continue attacking her target.
Similar scenes began to play out on different floors of the library.
The silent battle began. Players had to avoid attracting the librarians while also being careful not to damage the library facilities during the fight, which required extremely high combat skills.
Unlike before when she was running around with a bunch of followers, this was her first real fight against her apprentices since returning to Astrana.
The mantis's forelegs and its opponent's weapon collided rapidly dozens of times in a short period of time, producing a metallic sound that almost overlapped. Yu Xunge looked at his opponent and smiled, "What does this mean?"
Maple Syrup, now only half a meter tall, wore an enigmatic smile: "Didn't you say that even if we kill each other in individual and fun matches, it won't affect our friendship?"
She recognized herself.
The orchid mantis leaped onto the spear, sprinting upwards along its shaft. The spear spun rapidly, then with a flick and a sweep, attacked its friend who had changed form.
The commotion attracted the attention of the librarians, but instead of ending the fight easily, they tacitly changed battlefields, continuing to attack each other while running and jumping across the ruins.
Is maple syrup a relic of the gods or just a number? Yu Xunge wasn't sure.
She sensed that the maple syrup had changed in some way.
The moment she arrived at the Twilight Library and saw Maple Syrup, she already felt a sense of unfamiliarity. But it was normal for old friends to change after she had been away for three years, especially since the other person had experienced many things she didn't know about.
However, once Maple Syrup enters the game, it's as if she's taken off a mask, revealing her true face.
At this moment, the maple syrup made Yu Xunge feel extremely dangerous and unfamiliar. Her face was still young, but the sense of oppression she brought was no less than that of Zhu Ri.
After exchanging blows for a few minutes, Yu Xunge came to the conclusion that Maple Sugar's combat level was superior to hers!
Is it a lack of skill, a lack of variety in techniques, or a difference in attributes?
No, what she lacks is what Zhu Ri keeps talking about: "combat experience".
On the small boat in the river of time, Zhu Ri would have at least 3 hours of battles with her every afternoon. According to Zhu Ri, as long as you have enough battle experience, even a fool can become a battle master.
A hundred battles aren't enough, so let's have a thousand, ten thousand, even millions of battles.
With enough experience, they can easily handle all kinds of unexpected situations in battle.
Maple Syrup gave her a similar feeling to Chasing the Sun; it seemed like she could know all of her moves and skill combinations with just a glance.
She also needs to make predictions based on Maple Syrup's eyes and muscle movements.
Maple Syrup can even be controlled with ease; even if Yu Xunge suddenly pulls a book in front of him as a shield, Maple Syrup can still quickly retract its weapon.
Conversely, after nearly failing to stop in time and hit a book that Maple Syrup had transferred, Yu Xunge's attacks became hesitant and restrained.
Maple syrup three years ago was definitely not this amazing!
Even if she had been accumulating combat experience every minute of those three years, she wouldn't have suddenly become this powerful!
Yu Xunge retreated rapidly, eventually summoning his lantern to retreat into the shadow world.
Maple Syrup stood there, her eyes lowered, staring at the spot where the orchid mantis had disappeared, lost in thought. The next second, she slightly tilted her head to dodge the librarian's long whip, and with a flash, she vanished from the spot.
