Chapter 385
The crab-like creature, Mai Mang Xie Xie, opened its mouth but hadn’t even begun to speak when Yu Xun Ge made her move.
【Temporary Wash Point】— Agility Full Cut Intelligence!
【Air Slash】! — 【Air Slash】! — 【Air Slash】! — 【Air Slash】!
A single strike from over 2000 intelligence, boosted by intelligence value—five times critical hit—twenty-five times critical hit—one hundred twenty-five times critical hit!
Before the alien player could utter a word, they peacefully departed, their jellyfish hat sliced apart like calamari.
In the battlefield chat channel, Mai Mang Xie Xie and Ting Zhou Jing E fell silent mid-argument.
Even the octopus boss gradually halted its movements.
Yu Xun Ge slowly lowered her raised right hand; it was her palm that had executed the Air Slash.
B8017913: “Why didn’t you use both hands?”
Yu Xun Ge: “I was afraid you’d say I was doing the APT dance.”
B8017913: “……………”
Yu Xun Ge: “Not funny? I thought you’d get it. Did your emotional bar move?”
B8017913: “It’s dead.”
Yu Xun Ge: “Awesome! That’s exactly what I wanted to see!”
B8017913: “.”
Though she was still joking with B8017913, Yu Xun Ge wasn’t as relaxed as she appeared; her body was tense, waiting for the octopus boss’s reaction.
She was prepared to be killed by the octopus boss, even to be turned into ingredients.
But no outcome could be worse than allowing two chefs in her team.
Mai Mang Xie Xie was still in shock, not only amazed that Zai Jiu Xun Ge could take down a player with 12 tiers of combat power in mere seconds, but also surprised by her decisiveness:
“W-why did you suddenly make a move? The game didn’t say a team can’t have two chefs, right?”
【Chapter 501: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 15】
The tentacles around her legs tightened, and Yu Xun Ge could even hear her bones creaking.
But the octopus boss didn’t strike her down immediately, which gave her hope. She explained, “Our boss not only likes strong employees and ingredients, but it also has preferences for their races.”
【Cleaner】, it chose Mai Mang Xie Xie, with a combat power of tier 17, ranked 8588 on the ladder.
【Ingredient】, it chose Ting Zhou Jing E, with a combat power of tier 85, ranked 85 on the ladder.
These two players resembled a snow crab and a blue whale, respectively.
Mai Mang Xie Xie hailed from the underwater world of Mai Mang, where the Tian Xie clan lived in the depths of the sea, though they could also move on land.
Ting Zhou Jing E, when alive, was always surrounded by flowing water.
The octopus boss likely also came from the ocean.
Snow crab, blue whale, octopus, jellyfish.
How much they resembled a luxurious seafood feast… No, it looked more like a big family!
And she was the odd one out!!
Adding to that was a player who looked strikingly similar to a moon jellyfish, with a combat power of only tier 12, but still higher than her own…
Better to strike first than be eliminated.
What if there were too many employees? Just eliminate some, and she didn’t believe she would necessarily die.
Right now, chefs were hard to come by; everyone was scrambling for them. Some teams even hid their chefs; just moments ago, the octopus boss had to dispel its invisibility skill to reveal the chef.
Yu Xun Ge concluded, “I don’t want to be eliminated. I want to compete for my position and protect my job.”
With that, she activated her disguise skill, transforming into a mermaid-like sea witch. She flicked her tail and turned to the octopus boss, saying, “Boss, this is the real me! Give me a chance to shine!”
Mai Mang Xie Xie: …
Ting Zhou Jing E: …
【Mai Mang·Xie Xie】: I can’t take it anymore.
【Ting Zhou·Jing E】: Same here.
【Mai Mang·Xie Xie】: So shameless.
【Ting Zhou·Jing E】: Exactly.
【Mai Mang·Xie Xie】: Can you compete with that?
【Ting Zhou·Jing E】: I can’t compete.
【Zai Jiu·Xun Ge】: You two are crazy!!
Whether it was Yu Xun Ge’s words that had an effect, or her new form from the advanced version of the disguise skill was just too convincing, or perhaps the octopus boss was waiting to find a better chef to replace her, in any case, the octopus boss surprisingly let her go.
At that moment, Yu Xun Ge received a notification.
【Ding—Congratulations, Zai Jiu Xun Ge has killed the potted plant Da Fa, and the player has chosen to exchange two S-level skills for a second chance at resurrection in this divine game. You will randomly draw one S-level skill as your loot.】
【Ding—Drawing kill reward, you gain Intelligence +9.】
【Loot drawn, you have obtained the S-level skill—Super Chef? Super Chef!】
Cooking skill?!
Without a moment to worry about needing to exchange two S-level skills for a second resurrection, Yu Xun Ge excitedly opened her skill panel.
【Super Chef? Super Chef!】 (S-level): Upon use, a “Super” mark will appear on your arm, forcibly attracting the attention of all beings within a hundred meters. All who see this mark will exclaim—“What? You’re a Super Chef?!” Skill range: one hundred meters; duration: 3 seconds; each use costs 100 mana; cooldown: 30 seconds.
Yu Xun Ge: ￥#@Q￥%……#%@%
How could such a ridiculous skill be S-level?!!!
Wait… wait!!
Yu Xun Ge slowly turned to look at Mai Mang Xie Xie, who was engrossed in the battlefield chat channel beside her.
She activated the skill—【Chef’s Aura】!
In an instant, her right arm erupted with a dazzling golden light, and a “Super” mark slowly materialized with a shimmering effect!
The playful Mai Mang Xie Xie suddenly turned—“What? You’re a Super Chef?!”
Not just Mai Mang Xie Xie, but all the busy players within a hundred meters, on the streets and in the air, turned to look.
—“What? You’re a Super Chef?!”
—“What? You’re a Super Chef?!”
—“What? You’re a Super Chef?!”
Various languages and voices echoed the same phrase.
Yu Xun Ge struggled to maintain her composure, trying to appear cool: ˙?˙
But clearly, the skill didn’t spare her either.
Her peripheral vision uncontrollably darted to the mark, and the next second, she blurted out, “What? I’m a Super Chef?!”
These were the longest and most excruciating three seconds of Yu Xun Ge’s life…
B8017913 joined in the fun: “What? You’re a Super Chef?!”
Yu Xun Ge: “I’m so disappointed in you… I thought you’d be my safe harbor.”
B8017913: “Awesome! That’s exactly what I wanted to see!”
Three seconds later.
Mai Mang Xie Xie stared at Yu Xun Ge with a blank expression, and the nearby players also looked at her with the same expression.
Yu Xun Ge lowered her arms and slowly closed her eyes, lying peacefully on the octopus’s back: Just let me be dead.
Only the octopus boss and a few tourists remained silent throughout; these cosmic beings were the true strong ones!
But the octopus boss’s pace noticeably quickened… it was clear it wanted to escape this area quickly.
Yu Xun Ge: “What a divine skill! Can this really be S-level? It forcibly interrupts all players’ actions and can hard control them for three seconds; it could even be called SS-level!”
B8017913: “As long as you like it, please make sure to hide me even better.”
After the awkwardness, Yu Xun Ge genuinely began to like this skill.
It was a fantastic interrupt + hard control skill!
Aside from the awkwardness and the short duration, and the lack of damage, it had no flaws. The fact that she couldn’t control overly powerful enemies wasn’t a drawback; she couldn’t defeat them anyway, so it made no difference.
The fact that a powerhouse like Mai Mang Xie Xie could be controlled for three seconds was already a pleasant surprise!
The timing of using the skill was in her hands; even if she would also be hard controlled, as long as she timed it right and shielded herself, this skill was actually very useful…
Mai Mang Xie Xie tapped her with a claw: “That cheeky skill, did you get it after killing that potted plant Da Fa?”
Yu Xun Ge didn’t hide anything; she had already used the skill, and she was determined to use it during the cooking competition as well!
For instance, at a critical moment while the opponent was cooking, she could pull this move.
She nodded and also mentioned that the potted plant Da Fa was her second death, and the cost was two S-level skills.
This information would eventually reach Mai Mang Xie Xie with time, and it wouldn’t change anything, just like how Mai Mang Xie Xie would share intelligence with her.
To her surprise, Mai Mang Xie Xie didn’t seem surprised at all. Compared to B8017913, who only provided data, it directly offered a more detailed penalty standard:
“Oh, I experienced this kind of game a long time ago. The third time requires three S-level skills, the fourth time is one SS-level skill, and so on. The seventh time is one SSS-level skill, and the tenth time is a divine gift skill.”
【Chapter 502: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 17】
—“The tenth time is a divine gift skill.”
This phrase echoed in Yu Xun Ge’s mind.
Yu Xun Ge: “In the divine game you experienced with 51 death penalties, was the penalty mechanism the same?”
