Chapter 945 AS174: Junior, Things Are Getting a Little Ambiguous
Queque's combat skills are extremely strong. Although he can't compare to Yu Xunge, who studied day and night with the two combat masters, Zhu Ritian and Hu Haoqi, for a whole year, he is definitely better than most apprentices.
When the book monster's health dropped to 2%, no one on the field started chatting; everyone sped up their attack speed, determined to get the last hit.
It was raining heavily on Queque's head. She took off her hood and let the rain fall on her face.
Her pupils lit up with magical patterns, and then, dense raindrops rushed towards the books they were chasing.
Yu Xunge then rushed in front of the other apprentices, blocking their attacks.
The two worked together seamlessly, relying on their similar combat philosophies and tactical approaches, without needing to communicate with words or even eye contact.
In addition, they were fighting over monsters, and the time it took them to get the blocks was less than half that of Crab and Grapefruit.
The movement skill was ineffective against the block. After failing to teleport back to the stands with the block in hand, the two had no choice but to escort it back obediently.
Fortunately, after Queque picked up the block, the other apprentices were temporarily unable to touch it.
The block in my hand touched a gray brick of the same shape. The block dropped by the book monster turned into colorful smoke and entered the gray brick wall. The brick was stained with color and began to fall.
These colored blocks, which are transformed from gray bricks, do not require a game joystick; players can directly change their direction and position.
After two rounds of the game, all the apprentices had mastered the skills.
Everyone has figured out the pattern: a gray wall tile will randomly appear every 5 minutes.
To avoid getting stuck in a vicious cycle, it's best to defeat the corresponding book monsters within 5 minutes and eliminate the gray wall tiles.
If the maximum score for game difficulty is 10, then the current game intensity is probably around 6 to 7 for Yu Xunge and her team, which is more than enough for them.
But with their previous experience in the Gods game, everyone knew this game wouldn't go so smoothly.
For Yu Xunge, the real difficulty of this game comes not only from the game rules.
Yu Xunge looked up at the person opposite her, in front of a bookshelf on the same level of the stands, who was also looking at her—Maple Syrup.
Her long red hair danced wildly in the wind, the hem of her combat suit fluttered in the wind, and in her right hand she held a black crystal that resembled a pointer—a long spear in its dormant state.
The black crystal spear slowly glided across the palm of his left hand, its rich magical aura almost solidifying.
From her perspective, the spear she held in her hand looked like a scepter.
If their positions were connected by a line, they would probably pass right through the center of the amphitheater, which is quite far away.
The tears she shed during the time stop weren't solely due to Mist Blade's "On the Chessboard"; Maple Syrup's determination was also a significant factor.
After arriving in this world, the first person she met was not Mist Blade, but Maple Syrup.
She sat at the entrance of the gem shop with her red curly hair, guiding her to meet the Fogblade Fat Goose.
They went to school together, their treehouse was the tallest and closest to each other... Maple syrup was actually no less important to her than Fogblade.
The reason she lost her composure was that her two friends turned their weapons on her in quick succession.
Maple Syrup probably knew, but she pretended not to, or rather, she didn't care at all.
And besides this arch-rival...
Yu Xunge raised her head slightly and looked at the 9th floor at the 3 o'clock position, where a tall figure was standing on the edge of the stands looking down at her.
A two-finger-wide blood mist longsword was tucked at his waist, and six white fox tails swayed gently in the wind behind him, with black tail tips and ear tips.
Moonlight Wetlands Grade 7 Prefect, her best friend in Astrana, Mistblade.
She wasn't just fooling the teacher with what she said to Zhu Ri; she genuinely wasn't deceived by Wu Ren.
Fogblade had waited for her for at least six hours, but her words were evasive and the reasons she gave were not convincing.
Compared to the Oak Owl Clan, she alone was indeed of little help to Moon Fox.
But is that a reason to take action against her?
Did Maple Syrup say she wouldn't cooperate with Moon Fox unless she killed her?
That sounds like we've come full circle... as if she really forbids Mist Blade from attacking her.
But the strange feeling in her heart just wouldn't go away; Fogblade must have withheld some crucial information.
She doesn't deny that Mistblade's waiting and explanations were to salvage their friendship. She can sense that Mistblade is filled with regret and cherishes this friendship, to the point that she tries to heal the rift with clumsy lies.
This strange phenomenon was eventually confirmed by Tianhu Haoqi.
[On the chessboard] Not only can you see how much value the target has to your own ideals, but its display method is also very special, divided into positive and negative numbers.
A positive number represents the current value of the target, that is, the value to the skill user when the target is alive.
Negative numbers represent the value that can be realized after the target dies.
Her value must be negative, I wonder what kind of outrageous number made Fogblade attack her without hesitation in the game.
She truly wanted to kill herself, not only because the apprentice's body would remain here if she died in the God Game and could not be resurrected, but also because only by killing her in the God Game would Zhu Ri, given her personality, not seek revenge for her.
Outside of the game, no matter who killed her, the murderer will face increasingly frantic revenge, and Fogblade has also considered the consequences.
Then, let her rephrase her question...
Is her ideal still the same as Astrana Mistblade's ideal?
During the fun game, did Maple Syrup's seemingly unintentional ramblings remind Fogblade of anything?
She probably wouldn't remember everything like Maple Syrup did, otherwise she wouldn't have been so confused that evening.
But Yu Xunge understood that whether or not he was confused, it would not affect Wu Ren's decision.
It wasn't betrayal; she simply chose to remain true to her ideals.
"How long are you three going to keep staring at each other? Junior, things are getting a little ambiguous."
Queque's voice rang out behind her. She had been looking back and forth between the three people for a long time. Xie Xie and Yu Lu were also looking, but when the gray brick appeared, they were kicked down by Tao You to fight monsters.
Grapefruit, who was holding the game joystick, was eating watermelon while standing on tiptoe, stretching her neck several centimeters.
"It is a bit silly," Yu Xunge said, keeping a straight face and withdrawing her gaze. Her expression turned serious as she said in a deep voice, "You don't understand. We are observing each other's fates."
Grapefruit gave a sour grapes look, and Queque looked similar, her expression contorting slightly.
Queque said, "Did you suddenly realize that we might already be on the big screen, which is why you're giving your actions value?"
Yu Xunge: "Nonsense!!"
New bricks appeared, and this time Taoyou and Queque went down to break the blocks, while Yu Xunge defended the base.
They would try to change their outfits as much as possible to see which combination was the most efficient.
Yu Xunge shook the block to where it should fall, letting it slowly fall on its own. Then, she took out a ball of winter snow from her dagger and began to make her own summer snowman.
This is a necessary preparation that must be made at the start of each game.
In just a few seconds, the snowman's general outline appeared, but Yu Xunge's movements slowed down.
Yu Xunge was lost in thought for a moment. After shaking the next block to the far right of the bookshelf frame, she picked up the snowman again.
Fogblade remains true to his ideals, while Maple Syrup chooses reality outside the game.
And her?
What she chooses.
