Chapter 982 Heavenly Hand Hao Qi: "Moon Postman" (End of "Card Swap")
"But she still carefully brought the letter back."
"Perhaps it's only after losing something that we realize how precious a letter is. The old elven postman always crumpled the letters up! So rude!!"
"The elven postman went through great lengths to bring the letter back to Astrana, not to keep it, but because she delivered it to the place the letter was meant to go."
"For this letter, she lost her most precious Moon Crown, but never thought of gaining anything in return."
"She lit a campfire in a nearly abandoned city without even realizing it."
"That letter didn't go very far. She went to participate in the Gods' Game. Have you heard of the Heavenly Seven? That was the dream of that letter, and also the dream of the Elf Postman."
"It is perfectly normal for the letter and the postman to share the same dream."
"At the end of the story, when the letter carrying the elf postman's dream arrived at their shared dreamland, the letter summoned the elf postman at a crucial moment in the game, and together they won the game!"
Yu Xunge spoke faster and faster, and with the last sentence, the apprentice's leg whip struck the armored guard's vitals, reaping the last drop of blood from his opponent.
She fell heavily to the ground, and saw that Mistblade Maple Pine Rose, who had already finished the kill, had rushed to the mahjong table.
The apprentice shouted, "Chase the Sun! Draw a card!"
The retro lantern floated high into the sky, and the moonlight was brighter than ever before.
The moment the armored guard fell, Zhu Ri lunged at a mahjong tile, shouting, "It's 'Red Dragon'!"
"Big Seven Stars! Hu!!"
"bump!"
"Kujo!"
"Bang!"
The four voices rang out almost simultaneously.
The passionate youth competition was turned into something resembling a middle-aged and elderly teahouse by these remarks, and a completely unruly one at that, with everyone playing cards haphazardly.
Through the glass window of the game room, Yu Xunge saw that all the cloud whales swimming outside had stopped.
She won?
All the cloud whales seemed to vanish into thin air like smoke blown away by the wind, and the maple syrup, mist blade, and pine rose also disappeared.
She was left only to gaze at the little elf on the table.
She won!
She's got the best luck with the best seven!
Wait, this seems to be the fifth round. It took her a little over 3 minutes to kill the armored guard...
The game record for Tianhu Haoqi is 159 minutes.
Did she break the record for fastest completion?
...
"Ah, why this? I thought it would be something like 'Seven Stars Annihilation,' she was only 2 seconds faster than Qi Hua."
"I thought it would be this too. 'Seven Stars Carrying Wine' would have been fine too. Why would the Gods' Game give out this title??"
"Because when I won, what impressed all of you most was that I made a perfect 7-for-1 hand. Even now, when you think back to that match, the first thing that comes to mind is 'perfect 7-for-1 hand,' so that's why the game was named that by the God Games."
"But from then on, whenever any viewer who watched this game thinks of the game, the most profound impression in their mind will be the fairy tale she told?"
"Yes, and... from now on, the cubs of Astrana will all grow up listening to this fairy tale: the elven postman, the moon crown, and that crumpled letter."
This is the story of the "Moon Postman."
...
A clear, ethereal voice echoed above the library at dusk.
[World Announcement: The fastest clear record for "Ten-Handed Seven" has been broken. The game has been officially renamed "Moon Postman"]

The announcement rang three times before stopping.
Then there is a fourth one.
[Version Update: Gods of the World Game Adds "Daily Moment Rewards" - Apprentices who unlock "Moon Postman" for three consecutive years will receive this reward.]
The screens on the field had all shattered and disappeared, leaving only a tightly closed, pure white door.
The audience cheered, screamed, and shouted, but no one asked where the apprentices had gone.
He sat quietly in his seat day after day, feeling out of place with his surroundings.
Ember, sitting in the special audience section, also seemed out of place.
The black cat stood up and danced a short dance with the hunched-over blood elf. Finally, unable to bear the elf's silence any longer, it angrily demanded, "Why are you unhappy?! Your apprentice has become the Moon Postman!"
Zhu Ri asked softly, "Then who is my apprentice? Do you remember her?"
The black cat paused for a moment, seemingly not understanding why she would ask such a silly question, but it quickly replied, "The Moon Postman!"
He asked again each day, "What about her classmates? Do you remember them?"
Black Cat: "Oh, Oak Owl, Moon Fox, Candle Barbarian."
Observing its expression closely each day, I discovered that it didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with the answer.
The creatures of Astrana have all forgotten about searching for them...
No, strictly speaking, they have forgotten almost all the strange apprentices who have appeared in recent years.
The faces, names, and words of those apprentices became blurred.
And the reason she remembers it is perhaps because...
As the sun slowly opened its palm, a radiant object emitting a soft white light lay inside.
This is what suddenly appeared in her palm the moment the game ended.
She knew what it was; every time the God Games won, the God Games would manifest a miniature soul fire for the champion, and she had 11 Moon Crowns.
She never knew what it could be used for, but now it seems she knows one of its uses.
She pursed her lips, staring intently at the glowing, irregular object in her hand. Looking around, she noticed everyone was busy cheering.
She picked up the radiant object and waved it in the air.
The comet trailed a long beam of light, inside which glittered stars flew around, like a mini meteor shower.
How childish.
She looked up at the special audience seats and saw that Ash was also foolishly waving a red Radiant Body, while Wailing was holding a blue Radiant Body next to him.
He withdrew his gaze with satisfaction each day.
She received the Heavenly Hand Seven, the most special one...
Oh no, there won't be any more Heavenly Hand Seven anymore, only Moon Postman.
The Moon Postman game was short, and the audience left before 10 p.m.
The principals have already left, and no one is thinking about where the Moon Postman, who used to at least wait until halfway through the audience's departure, has gone.
The lines of memory are not broken; they have simply been left with just the right amount of blank space.
This is both absurd and terrifying.
On the vast arena, only three people remained: Wailing, Wasteland, and Chasing the Sun.
The wailing faded away, leaving only her murmurs and sighs in the wind: "Gods..."
Across the arena, across the endless sands of the desert, Huang Jin gazed at the solitary figure in the stands. This was the first time she had ever felt loneliness emanating from an elf since they met.
She couldn't help but speak up, trying to break the silence, and asked in a raised voice, "Are you alright?"
After a long while, a reply came from the other end.
"It's alright, it's just a different kind of regret."
