Chapter 941 AS174: Dusk and Mirage
This time, Yu Xunge and her group didn't fight with Bo Mang, because the moment Bo Mang stepped into the Thief Insect Tavern, the tavern owner immediately moved him to a private room.
The meal cost 30,000 gold coins. Yu Xunge also ordered the most expensive dishes and drinks, and asked the Thief Insect Tavern to deliver them to Zhu Ri, Tian Hu Hao Qi, and Ai Hao. It was already a bit late, so she simply ordered dinner.
Her experience of going bankrupt in a fishing competition taught her to spend money as soon as possible.
There's not much to work on with teammates; no matter which team match it is, it's impossible for them to become more in sync in just a few days.
It's impossible for people to tell each other what special skills they have.
In the team competition, everyone can only do their best individually.
But after this meal, Yu Xunge was at least certain that several of her teammates genuinely wanted to win the team championship.
Only the team champion can choose skills from the skill library. In previous years, some information about the rewards for the team champion of the Gods game has been circulating. Everyone sees a different skill library, but the skills in it are all absolutely powerful!
Everyone who has seen the skills in their skill set dislikes them, as if those skills were tailor-made for them and are deeply ingrained in their hearts.
Language Arts is in seventh grade, while Grapefruit, Crab, and Queque are all in sixth grade. Opportunities for everyone are running out.
After finishing the meal, Yu Xunge felt half relieved.
Instead of rushing back, she explored the Endless Sands. Every year, the Gods' Game was a great opportunity to travel to other cities.
She was all alone, feeling a bit lonely... but she didn't want to look for Fat Goose and Motorbike, and she didn't want to know any more about her friends' changes.
Even though many people didn't wait for her in the same place, the elf that Tianhu Haoqi described as "not staying long for anyone, whether an apprentice or a friend" searched for her for many years and brought her back.
She's incredibly rich!
Of course, given Zhu Ri's personality and way of doing things, whether she, as an adult, would be willing to come back, or even if it was voluntary, is another matter entirely...
While lost in thought, Yu Xunge wandered through the endless desert, replenishing the seasonal ingredients needed to make the [Wrong Season], spending a lot of money to buy some withered leaves and spring flowers, and finally buying a pair of black tactical gloves to cover the divine relic.
I wandered around until almost sunset before returning to the Dusk Library alone.
As an honorary apprentice of Moonlight Wetlands, even after disappearing for three years, her room remained one of the best.
Located near the best corridor, the room overlooks the endless sea of sand from both inside and outside. The room opposite hers is occupied by Mistblade, the seventh-level leader of Moonlight Wetlands.
Yu Xunge only learned about this after seeing the nameplate hanging by the door of the opposite house when she went out in the morning.
The library's floors were full of design sense. Yu Xunge was reluctant to fly or move, so she followed its design to reach her floor. After turning a few corners, she saw the tall, slender figure leaning against the door.
Everyone has grown up, and Moonlight Wetland's school uniform looks better and better. The white uniform with red patterns, paired with the white ears and tail with a touch of black, doesn't look messy at all. Instead, it makes her feel less distant and more lively and enthusiastic.
The setting sun fell directly on their floor, right on Mist Blade. She stood in the sunset, staring blankly at the tip of her black tail. Three years had passed, and her tail had grown even more, with six fox tails hanging quietly behind her.
Yu Xunge stopped in her tracks. She wanted to retreat, but it was too late. The Moon Fox, who had been waiting at her door for who knows how long, was already looking over.
Against the light, Yu Xunge saw her smile, and the other person asked her, "Are you throwing a tantrum? Because of [On the Chessboard]?"
Yu Xunge then realized that, compared to before, Wu Ren's way of speaking had actually undergone a tremendous change. Whether it was the speed of his speech, the emotions within it, or the tone and pauses, everything was extremely refined, carrying a certain rhythm...
She straightened up and walked towards her. As she walked, her demeanor and the subtle swaying of her limbs and tail exuded a noble beauty.
This is the real Fog Blade now, not the Fog Blade that excitedly ran towards her before the fun race.
Just like Maple Syrup sitting in front of the gem shop, holding a baby bottle and watching the excitement, Mistblade, who would unconsciously wag its tail and deliberately slap its friends when happy, is also gone.
As Yu Xunge was sizing up Wu Ren, Wu Ren was also taking a close look at his long-lost friend.
She had grown taller, and her black moonlight wetland school uniform stood out neatly on her body, while the hem of her long trench coat hung quietly down. The way she walked and stood was just like Zhu Ri.
With minimal arm swing, she could instantly grasp the black and red dagger at her waist and slash it toward the enemy's vitals, no matter when or where.
Even though her face, which was gradually maturing, was as beautiful, refined, and harmless as Teacher Tianhu Haoqi's, every move she made made people involuntarily tense up. She was gentle yet dangerous, possessing an extremely contradictory yet unforgettable charm.
Before the fun competition began, she landed on the Starry Sky Dragon, her brows still showing childishness and innocence. After landing, she looked for her and Fat Goose with great anticipation. She didn't look much different from when she suddenly disappeared in fourth grade.
But after one match, she seemed to have suddenly grown up.
She remained nonchalant and still enjoyed teasing people as before. Based on the information she received, Xun Ge must have seen Bo Mang before she shouted "Respect Bo Mang" at the Thief Insect Tavern. She did it on purpose.
She always said that Maple Syrup had a bad temper, but actually she was the one who liked to play pranks the most among them, secretly mischievous.
However, she is indeed a bit different compared to before the competition.
At what point did you grow up?
Was it the moment when Maple Syrup unhesitatingly pinned her to the wall with her spear, forcing her to face thousands of skills, or the second when she realized she had used [On the Chessboard] on her?
The two remained silent for a long time before tacitly walking to the end of the corridor. They leaned lazily against the wall in the same posture, watching the sunset outside the library together.
The Twilight Library is named so because mirages can be seen in the Endless Sands at dusk every day. At this time, all the residents of the Endless Sands and the apprentices of the Twilight Library would put down everything they were doing and come out to see the mirages.
The mirages are different every day. Some people have tried to find the buildings and scenery in the mirages, but later discovered that they were not from a certain place in Astrana, but from different civilizations.
Beyond the vast, boundless Astrana, there are countless other worlds. Are there moon foxes there?
No one spoke.
Today's mirage is an endless sea of trees, with the leaves rippling in dark green waves as the wind blows.
Mist Blade gazed at the mirage, lost in thought. Suddenly, she said, "Actually, I haven't been using [On the Chessboard] much in the past year..."
