Chapter 401
She had seen Tao Mian in the high tower; her first identity was that of Tao Mian's kin.
In terms of combat talent, abilities, and determination, Tao Mian was no less than Song Gui and Feng Tang. Otherwise, he wouldn’t qualify as one of the three leaders of the Xiang Xiao.
Given the personalities of Feng Tang and Song Gui, they would never allow a useless person to be on par with them.
If one had to draw a comparison, Tao Mian resembled the most common and clichéd brooding CEO from a TV drama—reserved, shrewd, and his emotions hidden beneath a calm facade...
So dull!
To put it in more colorful terms, this character just doesn’t cut it...
In contrast, Feng Tang and Song Gui, whether lovable or not, were both strikingly distinct personalities...
Stirring things up? Absolutely, let’s stir things up!!
With this realization, Yu Xun Ge's cooking speed picked up.
B8017913: "I feel like you're up to something."
Yu Xun Ge: "I can't say."
B8017913: "..."
...
At that moment, another rabbit entered the restaurant, courtesy of the Octopus Barrel.
Meanwhile, Mai Mang Xie Xie was keeping a wary eye on the little seahorse chatting with the first rabbit guest, conspiring with the seahorse to make unreasonable demands of the rabbit.
However, the rabbit seemed more interested in talking to the little seahorse, barely acknowledging Mai Mang Xie Xie. When Mai Mang Xie Xie spoke three times, the rabbit responded only once.
The little seahorse noticed this: "Don't you like Xie Xie?"
Rabbit: "Oh, I'm more interested in you."
Mai Mang Xie Xie: "You've got quite the taste."
The little seahorse fell into thought, momentarily confused about whether Mai Mang Xie Xie was insulting the activity package or himself.
The rabbit asked the little seahorse, "Are you interested in switching owners? Want to come with me?"
【Chapter 522: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 37】
—"Are you interested in switching owners? Want to come with me?"
Yu Xun Ge couldn’t help but chime in: "That’s quite the taste."
Mai Mang Xie Xie leaned against the cooking station, not in a hurry at all, and echoed Yu Xun Ge's sentiment: "Who says otherwise?"
The little seahorse ignored the rabbit and jumped onto the cooking station to start arguing with Yu Xun Ge and Mai Mang Xie Xie.
Yu Xun Ge glanced at the rabbit, whose expression was neutral, as if not offended by the little seahorse at all.
This surprised Yu Xun Ge; she had thought these divine beings, high and mighty, would not tolerate such neglect and offense.
But then she considered that sensitive and irritable deities, or those who held themselves in high regard, likely wouldn’t become activity packages to play in the world battlefield.
At that moment, a second rabbit guest also entered the kitchen, followed by the Octopus Barrel, which handed a menu to Yu Xun Ge.
The second rabbit was smaller than the first, about the size of an adult corgi when on all fours. It glanced at the players present before running over to chat with the first rabbit.
The language the two rabbits used was incomprehensible to both Yu Xun Ge and B8017913.
Looking at the expressions of her teammates, it was clear they had deliberately chosen a language that none of the players present understood.
Now, that was true encrypted private chat!
The dishes Yu Xun Ge had prepared didn’t require long cooking times, and the two rabbits received their orders in less than half an hour.
The player accompanying the first rabbit had low combat power—if it were higher, they wouldn’t have fallen to this state. Yu Xun Ge used a bit of potion material and managed to whip up a one-star delicacy.
As for the second rabbit, it ordered dishes straight from the menu, and since Yu Xun Ge dared to write them down, she was confident she could make them.
Thanks to Tingzhou Jing E for contributing to her culinary career.
Drawing from related experiences, most of the dishes on Yu Xun Ge's menu were similar in texture and flavor to the Wind Whale.
As several one-star delicacies were served, Yu Xun Ge went to count the revenue with the Octopus Barrel and the others.
She had previously worried about how to calculate revenue after leaving Song Gui's team, but after teaming up with the Octopus Barrel, she found that the revenue behind her name on the leaderboard hadn’t changed.
This meant that even if the currency earned from running the restaurant didn’t end up in her hands, as long as she held a position and participated in the restaurant's operations, the earnings during that time would still count towards her score.
Moreover, the restaurant's nonsense value hadn’t been reset.
The dishes ordered by the first and second rabbits included both skill-enhancing and currency-generating options.
However, there were five skills, all of which were S-rank, but they still had to be divided.
Yu Xun Ge didn’t speak first; she picked up the skill icon for [Match-3] and placed it on the far left of her skill row. As soon as she touched it, the skill icon automatically stamped onto her forearm.
After organizing the skill icons, she began to use [I Want to Improve So Much] on the first and second rabbits in turn.
She hadn’t considered using this skill on Mai Mang Xie Xie or the Octopus Barrel.
When Rule Five was amended, they had tried to add a clause stating "employee skills cannot be stolen or taken," but it was rejected by the beast skin scroll.
One rule clearly couldn’t accommodate so much content.
The focus of these two characters was more on the phrase "every being entering Restaurant 353 must have their unlocked skills altered at least once."
Was it because they didn’t guard against her?
It was possible; when she first entered the battlefield, she hadn’t brought [I Want to Improve So Much]. After learning about the profound meaning, she hadn’t unlocked any more skills, and in the world battlefield, she couldn’t check for unlocked skills. So Yu Xun Ge believed that not many players knew she had a stealing skill.
But she leaned towards the idea that these two teammates had special anti-theft measures.
Yu Xun Ge had never successfully stolen from the Octopus Barrel, and as for Mai Mang Xie Xie, since the rule was established, its shell had been shimmering like a shiny card.
Yu Xun Ge directly abandoned the idea of targeting the two of them, and now that they were officially a team, she didn’t want to risk exposing her skills and ruining their relationship.
Moreover, a better target had now appeared.
Who could be wealthier than a deity?
And this was an unprecedented opportunity; skills had transformed into icons, existing like items, directly entering the realm of [I Want to Improve So Much].
A once-in-a-lifetime chance to get rich! Even if it angered the deities, she would accept it.
As for whether the deities had anti-theft measures, she had to test it...
Since the healing skill [Fourfold Spring] required combat to activate, she pulled out the clothes Song Gui had given her and put them on.
Now this was truly a no-risk venture, starting from scratch!
As for the life points she owed, if her speculation about repayment was correct, she could pay it back later without issue.
On the contrary, if her speculation about repayment was wrong... well, she already owed enough life points to die ten times, so what was a little more?
From the moment she started, the first rabbit was glaring at her, while the second rabbit stiffened but didn’t react too violently.
At this point, Mai Mang Xie Xie broke the silence first, pointing at the five skill icons facing down, and asked the Octopus Barrel: "How do we divide these?"
Little Seahorse: "Big Brother Octopus Barrel is the strongest; he should have one."
One skill icon was placed in front of the Octopus Barrel.
Little Seahorse: "I’m the smallest; I should have one too."
It took one for itself.
Little Seahorse continued: "Yue Jiu Xun Ge is the chef; she should have one."
Yu Xun Ge received one.
Little Seahorse: "I’m the cutest; I should have one."
Mai Mang Xie Xie: "…Do you know how many hits I took outside because of you? I was originally going for a swift attack route, but because of you, I switched to a tank."
Little Seahorse ignored him: "Mai Mang Xie Xie has the thickest skin; it should have one."
The five skill icons were thus divided.
Yu Xun Ge glanced at the Octopus Barrel, who surprisingly didn’t object but instead pocketed the skill icon. Seeing that Mai Mang Xie Xie also seemed to have no objections, Yu Xun Ge kept quiet.
With five skills, she had initially been pondering how to ensure her own interests.
Though her combat power was the lowest, she had contributed, and she couldn’t accept not getting anything; she at least had to get one.
Now that Little Seahorse had stirred things up, whether intentionally or not, Yu Xun Ge got what she wanted, so she had no complaints.
One interrupt skill, [Poor Signal].
Not bad, better than nothing; these big shots in the world battlefield couldn’t interrupt with their powerful skills anyway.
Little Seahorse asked Yu Xun Ge: "Which skill did you get?"
She had seen all five skills, and their rarity was comparable. Yu Xun Ge replied honestly: "The interrupt skill called Poor Signal."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt something new in her hand.
Meanwhile, the second rabbit suddenly slammed a spoon on the table, standing up in anger.
【Chapter 535: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 38】
The commotion startled both Yu Xun Ge and Little Seahorse.
Yu Xun Ge was taken aback; this was the first time she had just stolen something and the other party noticed!
Truly a deity—what a terrifying presence!
Unable to help herself, Yu Xun Ge mentally complained to B8017913: "Wasn’t this supposed to be about giving everyone benefits? Why are they so sensitive and agitated?"
B8017913 ignored her, as it had already scanned what Yu Xun Ge had stolen.
As Yu Xun Ge calculated how to handle the situation, she felt the object she had just stolen; it was somewhat long, with one end being square.
