Chapter 382
After B8017913 explained the function of the protective shield, Yu Xunge began to sense a hint of personality from the octopus diner.
She tried to speak up, “Senior, since you’ve taken me away, does that mean I’m your employee now? Are you going to pay me?”
She spoke in Tianxie language, and once she finished, the nearby Maimao Crab looked at her with a mix of clarity and confusion in its eyes.
The octopus diner didn’t respond, but a few seconds later, a small bag of fossil currency floated in front of Yu Xunge. Not only that, but its tentacles also loosened a bit, only binding her legs while freeing her upper body.
Yu Xunge caught the bag of currency, confirming her suspicions.
This diner, while stubborn and domineering, seemed to have some sense of reason. Moreover, it likely hadn’t captured her and Maimao Crab to eat them.
Maimao Crab snapped out of its shock and immediately shouted, “Boss—!!”
**Chapter 480: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 12**
A few minutes later.
Song Gui stood at the entrance of the empty restaurant, holding a pile of ingredients, lost in thought as she looked at the coins on the table.
Unable to help herself, she asked the voice in her head, Y1130, “Did you really kill them off that quickly?”
Y1130 replied, “No, I’ve only targeted you in this lifetime.”
Song Gui said, “No need to be so devoted…”
Y1130 continued, “The river of time has shifted again, for the 91st time.”
Song Gui remarked, “What a lively scene.”
Y1130 asked, “Aren’t you going to look for them?”
Song Gui replied, “I respect fate. I’ll wait for them to die and come back on their own. By the way, does Zai Jiu Xun Ge have any time skills?”
Y1130 answered, “Cannot detect.”
Song Gui mused, “I really don’t know where she popped up from… Is Zai Jiu’s luck that strong?”
Y1130 explained, “It’s similar to the luck of Senhai back in the day, but according to my analysis, Zai Jiu is likely a three-in-one.”
Song Gui asked, “What about the nine Moon Emperors of the Moon Fox? Did they get wholesale?”
Y1130 admitted, “I acknowledge that Xuexiang has a gambling aspect, but didn’t it win?”
Song Gui countered, “Did it really win? The Moon Fox relies entirely on Wubian, and Huashu and Ranping each count as half. The remaining Moon Emperors wouldn’t even want to enter the world battlefield if it weren’t to maintain their divine player identities.”
Song Gui added, “Hmph, once Wubian is gone, the Moon Fox will fall apart.”
Y1130 said, “That’s great, baby, you don’t have such worries.”
Song Gui replied, “……………”
Song Gui said, “You…”
Y1130 asked, “Hmm? Baby isn’t angry, right?”
Song Gui insisted, “I’m fine, I’m not upset, I’m doing great.”
Y1130 teased, “Baby’s defenses are holding up half the sky for the Xiang Xiao.”
Song Gui thought: …That’s enough, I’m serious, you can stop now…
She lazily sat on a high stool behind the cash register, starting to count the coins.
Though she didn’t know where her teammates had been sent by Y1130, the protective magic on this currency was so obvious that it was likely left behind by the presence that took those two teammates away.
Not bad, it turns out teammates can be worth money too, but it was a pity that Mai Quan Xiong Ni hadn’t been listed in time.
Just then, a massive explosion echoed from the corner of the food street, caused by a huge skill clash.
Since the game began, battles had never ceased in the food street.
Whether it was the high-powered food street where Song Gui was or the slightly lower-powered ones next door, battles were happening every second between players and diners, players and players, and even diners against diners. But this time was different.
Accompanying the explosion was a game notification.
【Player output of dishes: 1,000,000: Criteria met】
【Visitor flow in the food street: 100,000: Criteria met】
【Player death count in the food street: 10,000: Criteria met】
【All conditions met, the food street opens a special plot: Is this restaurant yours? Then open it.】
【Is this restaurant yours? Then open it: The chef is the core competitiveness of a restaurant. In 2 hours, a cooking competition will commence in the food street, and all restaurants will be required to participate.】
【At that time, any visitor already in the food street can participate in the cooking competition as long as they bring a 【Chef】.】
【After the competition, restaurants will be reallocated based on rankings, with each restaurant able to accommodate a maximum of 4 employees.】
【All restaurant team lists are cleared and reset; all players’ chosen positions at the start of the game are retained.】
【Official registration starts in 1 hour; the maximum number of players in a team cannot exceed 4 and must include one chef.】
【Note: Current number of restaurants in the food street—12,745】
【Current number of players: 50,980】
【Current number of visitors: 49,325】
What does this mean? Visitors in the food street can compete with players for restaurants?!
Song Gui jumped up, “My chef!”
Y1130 quipped, “Respect fate.”
Ignoring Y1130’s mockery, Song Gui cast a massive protective shield over the entire restaurant and took to the skies to find Zai Jiu Xun Ge.
Although if a player stronger than her came to cause trouble in her restaurant, her protective shield wouldn’t hold for long, most high-powered players had a strange sense of superiority and wouldn’t actually mess with an unguarded restaurant.
Just like Song Gui, she would rather take on restaurants guarded by players of level 15 or even 17 than cause chaos in an empty restaurant, fearing that other players would see and chat about it in the world battlefield chat channel—how embarrassing…
However, things were more complicated than Song Gui had anticipated. She thought she could find Zai Jiu Xun Ge based on the 【Ballroom Attire】 she had made for her, but her sensing was cut off by an invisible force.
Thinking of the chat channel, Song Gui flew through the air, using her skills to search while reluctantly opening the world chat channel to call for her chef.
At that moment, there were indeed quite a few people in the world battlefield chat channel looking for chefs.
【Sakura·Zili】: Who would believe it! My chef was taken by a diner!
【Zelan·Song Gui】: Zai Jiu Xun Ge, where are you?
【Zelan·Feng Tang】: Huh?
【Zelan·Wubian】: Huh?
【Zelan·Fei E】: Huh?
【Qiu Long·Ying Shi】: So Song Gui knows how to use the chat channel?
【Ting Zhou·Dou Kou】: She always has, but after a player used a skill to track her through the chat channel, she rarely spoke again.
【Dong Hai·Jing Man】: Who was it? That’s so sneaky and cunning!
【Zi Chuan·Tao You】: Me.
【Ling Cha·Yi Xiu】: Dong Hai Jing Man, take care ∠(°ゝ°)
【Zelan·Fei E】: Dong Hai Jing Man, take care ∠(°ゝ°)
【Ting Zhou·Dou Kou】: Dong Hai Jing Man, take care ∠(°ゝ°)
【Mai Quan·Xiong Ni】: What happened to her?
【Zelan·Song Gui】: She was bought.
【Mai Quan·Xiong Ni】: ?!?! What about our competition? What about Maimao Crab?! Didn’t Maimao Crab protect her?
【Zai Jiu·Xun Ge】: It was also bought, and it even asked the diner to leave the money on the table.
【Maimao·Crab】: I just wanted to leave my teammates with some last wealth!
【Zelan·Song Gui】: Can’t it fight back against the one who bought you?
【Zai Jiu·Xun Ge】: When that diner proposed to buy it, it didn’t even dare to refuse loudly.
【Maimao·Crab】: I refused! I rejected it loudly!
【Zai Jiu·Xun Ge】: Senior Song Gui, will you still come looking for us?
【Zelan·Song Gui】: Level 15 Abyss team, recruiting 【Chef】 and 【Cleaner】. Interested parties, ascend and cast three ice skills towards the sky.
【Mai Quan·Xiong Ni】: Level 15 Abyss team, recruiting 【Chef】 and 【Cleaner】. Interested parties, ascend and contact Zelan Song Gui.
【Zai Jiu·Xun Ge】: …
【Maimao·Crab】: …We’re not dead yet!!
【Zelan·Song Gui】: The difference between being alive and dead isn’t that great, huh, baby?
【Zelan·Song Gui】: …Let me take that back. Forget I said that.
【Zelan·Feng Tang】: Okay, baby.
【Zelan·Fei E】: Okay, baby.
【Ling Cha·Yi Xiu】: Okay, baby.
【Maimao·Crab】: Zelan Song Gui… please don’t talk like that, it scares me. Just form a team casually; it’s okay, baby.
【Zelan·Song Gui】: (disconnected)
**Chapter 498: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 13**
Seeing Zelan Song Gui get flustered, Yu Xunge laughed heartily on the back of the octopus.
Actually, there was nothing wrong with that statement. Yu Xunge used to often banter online with alternate accounts and trolls like that, but judging by Song Gui’s reaction, it was likely a habit influenced by others, which she herself didn’t like.
If she didn’t care, others might have been affected, but she was just too obviously embarrassed.
Maimao Crab was also laughing loudly, saying to Yu Xunge, “Oh my, I really want to see the expression on Zelan Song Gui’s face right now!”
After laughing, Maimao Crab began to worry about the special plot called 【Is This Restaurant Yours? Then Open It】.
It stared at Yu Xunge for a while, its eyes filled with a mix of scrutiny and regret, but then it nodded in satisfaction.
Yu Xunge said, “...If you have something to say, just say it.”
At this moment, the octopus diner was still wandering the streets, its mountain-like body nearly a third of the street’s width.
