Chapter 379
But just then, a few players from a couple of restaurants away had already taken down a customer. All the nearby players turned to look, their methods on full display, and they discovered that not only did the customer drop a pile of strange currency, but those players also reaped the benefits!
Yu Xunge couldn’t see the means at play, but Song Gui had already approached the Mist Customer, lifting her giant hammer without a word and swinging it down.
Mai Mang Xie Xie and Mai Quan Xiong Ni also joined the fray.
Yu Xunge remained still, knowing she wouldn’t be able to snatch the monster for herself, so she decided to observe a bit longer.
In just a few seconds, the Mist Customer was smashed to pieces by Song Gui.
But at that very moment, Song Gui’s form stiffened for an instant.
【Chapter 493: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 8】
Yu Xunge’s eyes widened as she saw Song Gui’s information suddenly change; she had developed a weakness.
【Song Gui 15th Level 100%┃100%┃Heart Like Still Water┃Taboo: Forgotten by the World┃Weakness: Mirror Reversal】
Mirror Reversal? What a troublesome weakness that affects combat effectiveness.
You want to move your left hand, but in reality, your right hand reacts instead.
You try to dodge left, but your body moves right.
Everything about you feels like a mirror image turned upside down.
Yu Xunge had trained against this in her lessons with the Golden Tree’s withered leaves, but countering bodily reflexes was incredibly difficult.
It was almost against the laws of nature. After that lesson on Mirror Reversal, she could barely manage to dodge, let alone fight normally.
What about her other two teammates?
【Xie Xie 17th Level 100%┃100%┃?┃Taboo: ?┃Weakness: ?】
【Xiong Ni 15th Level 100%┃100%┃Hate Maple Syrup·Hate Maple Syrup·Hate Maple Syrup┃Taboo: Crushing Teddy Bear Cookies┃Weakness: A single phrase “I’ll turn you into a teddy bear cookie” is enough to break defense】
She couldn’t see through Mai Mang Xie Xie.
As for Mai Quan Xiong Ni… well, it was all a minefield. To be honest, from the moment she laid eyes on Mai Quan Xiong Ni, she was hesitant to make eye contact, fearing retribution…
But thankfully, Mai Quan Xiong Ni was a rational Autumn Bear. Not only did it understand Maple Syrup’s personality, but it also knew the relationship between Zai Jiu and Ze Lan. It didn’t truly hold a grudge against her; instead, it warned her to be careful of Maple Syrup and not to end up as a little cookie.
At that moment, she could see the expression on Mai Quan Xiong Ni’s bear face—it was smiling—he had gained something!
Mai Mang Xie Xie also looked quite pleased.
Yu Xunge felt an ominous premonition. She twitched her nose and realized that the sweet and sour scents that had filled the air just moments ago were fading, and now they had completely vanished.
She opened her character panel and found she had acquired a DEBUFF—【Loss of Smell】 (02:00:00)
Two hours…
She watched as Song Gui casually waved her wings, causing all the metal pieces on the ground to float in front of Mai Quan Xiong Ni.
Yu Xunge returned to the kitchen.
Below the cleanliness and nonsense value, a new entry appeared: revenue.
【Revenue】: 17◆35◇
It was a currency unit they couldn’t understand, but it was a standardized currency unit converted by the game.
At that moment, on the ladder rankings, their team, led by Mai Mang Xie Xie, had also secured a position, coming in at over nine thousand.
…
The gameplay became clearer, and the food street was bustling with activity.
Mai Quan Xiong Ni would step out every few minutes to wander around, earning nonsense value.
Song Gui handled the cash register, while Mai Mang Xie Xie guarded the front and back of the restaurant.
Yu Xunge focused on preparing dishes. The loss of smell did have some impact, but it wasn’t significant.
Worried about more unexpected events, she hurried to turn all the ingredients into dishes.
Not all customers were as unreasonable as the Mist Customer.
Song Gui didn’t always need to rely on her pure white giant hammer to communicate.
Yu Xunge noticed that the “Mirror Reversal” didn’t seem to affect Song Gui; her giant hammer still swung with afterimages. Even in the kitchen, Yu Xunge could hear the whoosh of the hammer slicing through the air, and her movements to dodge customer skills remained agile and swift.
But she was certain that Song Gui hadn’t used any skills to negate the effects of “Mirror Reversal.”
Because the weakness was still there.
After Yu Xunge turned all the ingredients into various snacks and dishes, their restaurant’s nonsense value had already surpassed a thousand, and the revenue had reached 89◆2◇.
Mai Quan Xiong Ni, who had been out causing mischief, returned, his health down to 15%, but his face was lit up with a joyful laugh, the thrill of it washing away the sorrow and weight on his bear face.
He shared the information he had gathered with Yu Xunge, the only one he could communicate with. “Even though players have a minimum nonsense value that won’t drop below zero, if a restaurant is robbed of its nonsense value in a short time, it will close down.
“And we have limits on our mischief too; each restaurant can only be visited for less than five seconds.”
The massive Autumn Bear sat beside her, towering over Yu Xunge, who was standing.
After speaking, he placed some of the stolen ingredients in front of Yu Xunge. “Here! I stole these for you. Can you whip up something to eat? Maybe something sweet?”
Yu Xunge was indeed feeling hungry.
It had only been three hours since they opened, but they were starving quickly, as if every minute and second spent here consumed energy at several times the rate of the outside world, much like the abandoned zone.
Yu Xunge didn’t refuse; she could add some sweet fruits since she couldn’t use sugar.
Song Gui occasionally used a gust of wind to lift dishes from the serving counter to the customers without even looking back, tossing the received currency behind her, accurately landing it in the handmade wooden basket on the table.
Mai Mang Xie Xie had gone out to cause mischief.
Yu Xunge called out to Song Gui, “Song Gui, what do you want to eat?”
Song Gui turned her head and waved the dried fruit in her hand. “More of this, please.”
Yu Xunge glanced at the ingredients Mai Quan Xiong Ni had brought back and nodded. “Sure.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Xunge sprang into action!
Since entering the game, she hadn’t done many selfish things, but there were a few, like when Mai Mang Xie Xie went out to earn nonsense value, she had been stealing from the house.
Her 【Sin】 skill had stacked three layers of lightning shields.
After she answered Song Gui, a flash of a scene crossed her mind—two seconds later, a dagger would slice her throat.
Yu Xunge’s figure vanished from the restaurant, a thick fog spreading within.
However, halfway through, she was forced to stop, her form coalescing back into a human shape.
At that moment, Mai Quan Xiong Ni and Ze Lan Song Gui also moved.
The shadow of a bear paw and the pure white giant hammer struck simultaneously at the tiny figure in the air.
A 17th-level powerhouse—Zi Chuan Li Guo!
Two 15th-level players against one 17th-level player.
This was a battle Yu Xunge couldn’t participate in; she immediately slipped into a corner.
But the next second, she was yanked back to the center of the battlefield by an inexplicable force, as Song Gui grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and pulled her in front of her.
Song Gui stood behind her, left hand gripping the pure white giant hammer planted on the ground, while her right arm wrapped around Yu Xunge, pinning her in front of her. Her forearm pressed against Yu Xunge’s neck, forcing her to look up at the airborne Zi Chuan Li Guo.
That player was preparing to unleash a group attack, encased in a shield. Mai Quan Xiong Ni had tried several times to break through but gave up and started shielding himself instead.
Song Gui leaned closer to Yu Xunge’s ear, and in her peripheral vision, Yu Xunge caught a glimpse of her smiling eyes.
In that moment, the DEBUFF of loss of smell vanished, and she caught the scent of roses from Song Gui.
The voice of this fierce queen was soft and gentle, but her words sent a chill down Yu Xunge’s spine: “Zai Jiu Xun Ge~ forgive my curiosity; I just wanted to see if you managed to get your hands on the Winter Sea Shark’s bedtime fairy tale.”
【Chapter 494: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 9】
A few seconds later, Mai Mang Xie Xie rushed back after receiving the notification of a teammate’s death.
The restaurant was in disarray; what had once been a table full of dishes was now reduced to a third.
On the ground lay the fallen Mai Quan Xiong Ni.
Ze Lan Song Gui was wiping her hammer—though Zai Jiu Xun Ge had shielded her from damage, her hammer had been affected.
What a coincidence, what bad luck; the opponent’s skill just happened to counter the magic patterns on her hammer. The magical lines on it had been severed, and she would have to find a repairman when she returned.
The most animated was Zai Jiu Xun Ge, her face a mix of shock and confusion, her eyes wide with “I can’t believe my eyes,” yet she was clapping and laughing like a madwoman.
She asked in Crab Language, “What happened?”
After clapping and laughing for a moment, ensuring she wouldn’t violate any rules, Yu Xunge pointed at Song Gui, utterly speechless for the first time in her life! She actually used her as a shield!!
She hadn’t turned off the passive effect of 【Bedtime Fairy Tale】 in her 【Personal Settings】 to hide this skill.
There was no need; this skill was a life-saving technique. Would she die in front of Song Gui just to hide this life-saving skill? That would be utterly foolish!
Song Gui showed no hint of embarrassment; she even smiled and cast a healing spell on Yu Xunge, restoring her health completely.
Then her expression turned serious, and she got busy! She wore a face that said, “I’m about to get to work now.”
Yu Xunge was even angrier; she took a deep breath, then another.
B8017913: “What do we do? Feels like an upgraded version of you, so infuriating!”
Yu Xunge: “Which side are you on? Do you think I could do something like that?!”
B8017913: “The probability showing on my end is 100%. Do you want me to manipulate the data for you?”
