Chapter 405
There are items that can increase the kill reward level, but does Song Gui have anything that can increase the number of kill rewards?
She had to prepare for the worst. She couldn't just hope that "maybe this is her only means," allowing Song Gui to kill her over and over again.
That would be foolish. She could only think, "What if things turn out that badly?" and then devise a plan for the worst-case scenario.
What was the solution?
The only optimal answer was the 【Mysterious Power】!
But Song Gui was relentless, dealing consecutive hits. Once her health dropped to 10%, the next step would be zero. If she hadn't brought 【Bedtime Fairytale】, she probably wouldn't even have had the chance to endure four hits.
And she hadn’t brought the most suitable options to break the deadlock: 【One-Person Party】, 【Ancient Curse】, and 【Reward or Punishment】, which could be used in conjunction with 【Mysterious Power】. B8017913 also couldn't use any skills.
At this point, the best plan seemed to rely on 【Fourfold Spring】, which could heal 4% in one go...
【Chapter 527: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 42】
Unfortunately, this method had a high failure rate. The prerequisite for 【Fourfold Spring】 to heal was a critical hit. With 【Midnight Exile】, she had no shortage of critical hits, but the problem circled back to square one—she hadn’t brought it.
Song Gui acted too quickly, taking away 30% of her health each time. If she wanted to survive, she had to raise her health to at least 31% before the final blow.
100%—70%—40%—10%—0%.
In other words, she needed to increase her health by 21% before Song Gui could finish her off, which would require five critical hits to be safe... and once Song Gui made her move, she could kill her from a distance in less than two seconds.
Five critical hits in two seconds?
Even if the little seahorse was willing to stand still and let her hit, it was impossible.
Eliminating all impossibilities left only one choice—【Behind the Scenes】!
In a space where time was distorted, she would lower her health to below 5%, then activate 【Mysterious Power】 and release 【Behind the Scenes】.
This was the method with the highest success rate and the most security.
Though she had thought of so much, less than 30 seconds had passed.
After confirming her solution, Yu Xunge immediately chose her resurrection cost—the second skill of the divine gift 【Sharpshooter】.
【Skill 2】 Must Crit—!(Passive): 7 is a magical number; any shooting action related to 7 will definitely be a critical hit.
The moment she resurrected and opened her eyes, she quickly took off the 【Ballroom Attire】 that Song Gui had given her and waited for a moment.
Mai Mang Xie Xie exclaimed, "Huh? Did Song Gui make a move on you?"
100%—70%...
She struck again! And even without the ballroom attire, she could still reclaim everything she had given...
Without hesitation, Yu Xunge pressed the skill icon for 【Behind the Scenes】 on her arm.
The world slowed down, and she could still hear the last syllable of Mai Mang Xie Xie's words.
Red curtains slowly descended from all directions, and Yu Xunge found herself enveloped within them.
This space wasn’t large, resembling a circular stage. She stood at the center, about five meters away from the surrounding curtains.
Mai Mang Xie Xie and the little seahorse, who had just been on either side of her, had vanished, but the cooking station in front of her, the ingredients that hadn’t been cleaned up yet, and the nearby refrigerator remained.
It was as if the curtains had drawn a small world exclusively for her.
She could feel that she could end this skill and leave the space at any moment. She wasn’t in a hurry to deal with her health; using this skill once would cost her one level, so she had to maximize her benefits.
She picked up the ingredients and weighed them in her hands. The skill description was quite interesting; materials placed before the curtains fell could refresh infinitely.
At first glance, it seemed like she could create dishes infinitely, but she didn’t believe the finished products would be retained. Otherwise, that would be too overpowered—couldn’t she just use one set of materials to endlessly farm resources?
She tried to casually make a dish and could feel the special state of the food.
With a thought, the still-steaming 【Pineapple Water Sailfish】 reverted to its original form, transforming back into ingredients, seasonings, and potion materials.
Sure enough, this skill allowed these materials to revert to their unused state after being utilized, achieving infinite refreshes.
Yu Xunge decided to practice cooking, taking advantage of this moment of solitude to ponder some things.
...
Song Gui was calculating the items in her hands: three "Set Upgrades" and two "Overtime."
Yu Xunge was right; Song Gui not only had more "Set Upgrades," but also "Overtime" that could increase the number of rewarded kills.
At this moment, Song Gui was waiting for Zai Jiu Xun Ge to resurrect, curious about what divine gift skill the other would reveal.
She also wondered if it was worth using these long-saved rewards on Zai Jiu Xun Ge.
Although killing Zai Jiu Xun Ge would yield kill rewards, there were penalties for her 15th-tier Abyss killing a 7th-tier Pain; each kill randomly lost an SS-level skill.
She didn’t lack SS-level skills, but the "random loss" was quite a headache...
Y1130: "Baby, you still haven’t told me why you cried at 17."
Song Gui: "Because I had a precognitive dream where I met something filthy called Y1130 years later, and I cried when I woke up."
Y1130: "…You didn’t say that when you tricked me into leaving the world battlefield."
Song Gui: "You said it was a trick."
Y1130: "I can tell you’re in a bad mood; your attack power is off the charts."
Just then, the results came in.
Song Gui stared at the 【Must Crit—!】 she had received, lost in thought.
Y1130: "Wow, a super powerful skill suitable for a 3-year-old baby!"
Song Gui: "…Speak properly!"
Y1130: "I’ll try my best."
Song Gui: "…How could it be an A-level divine gift? How many divine gifts did she steal? Skills that can steal divine gifts must have limitations, right?"
Y1130: "Yes, skills that can steal divine gifts are, without exception, usable only once in a lifetime. But top-tier divine game rewards might allow you to draw a divine artifact that resets this cooldown."
So perhaps it was an unexpected gain of a divine gift skill?
Anyway, Song Gui didn’t believe that Zai Jiu Xun Ge’s awakened divine gift would be anything ordinary like an A-level!
Song Gui struck again!
One hit—huh?
The second hit felt off.
Y1130: "What’s wrong?"
Song Gui: "I only regained a little over forty health."
...
Yu Xunge looked at her remaining 0.8% health and let out a temporary sigh of relief.
Yes, it was only temporary.
There were still four players left in this restaurant: Octopus Bucket, Mai Mang Xie Xie, Little Seahorse, and Rabbit No. 1. If any of them decided to hit her, she would be done for.
She glanced up and saw Rabbit No. 1 looking at her with eager anticipation.
Mai Mang Xie Xie exclaimed, "What skill did you use? How do you only have 0.8% health left?"
Yu Xunge: "Probation."
Little Seahorse: "You’re just talking nonsense..."
Earlier, Yu Xunge had quietly washed 100 plates while in 【Behind the Scenes】, not only completing a game rule but also significantly increasing her nonsense value.
At this moment, Mai Mang Xie Xie also noticed this and began to complain, but after a brief complaint, it started discussing the earlier curtains: "Was that curtain Song Gui’s skill?"
Yu Xunge was surprised: "You’ve seen it before?"
Mai Mang Xie Xie shook its head: "No, but that was clearly a dual-time-space skill. You didn’t have it before, and you relied on Octopus Bucket. Now you suddenly have it, so it’s highly likely you got it from Song Gui, I guess."
Yu Xunge: "Oh."
While chatting with Mai Mang Xie Xie and Little Seahorse, she began preparing dishes that could shorten cooldown times.
【Clock Reversal】 hadn’t been unlocked yet, so she couldn’t use it, but that didn’t stop her from thinking of ways to shorten the cooldown of 【Mysterious Power】.
She didn’t know how long she could survive with this skill, but she had to minimize the downtime of 【Mysterious Power】, shortening the time she might find herself in a desperate situation...
【Chapter 525: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 43】
(Note: I mistakenly stated the cooldown time for 【Mysterious Power】 in Chapter 513; it has been corrected. The cooldown time is 7 natural days, not 24 hours. Sorry about that.)
The cooldown time for 【Mysterious Power】 is 7 natural days. At first glance, it seems that this skill can only be used once per game, but Yu Xunge also has 【Clock Reversal】, which halves cooldown times. Although it’s currently locked and unusable, what if the game mode changes by then?
She prepared some dishes to reduce cooldown times, hoping that she could use it once more on the last day of this divine game.
Unfortunately, her ultimate skill was also banned. The 【Mysterious Power】 she used this time wasn’t the ultimate version, and the ordinary version of 【Mysterious Power】 couldn’t heal her during the skill’s duration; otherwise, she wouldn’t be in such a difficult position.
Mai Mang Xie Xie and Little Seahorse didn’t make a move against her.
Mai Mang Xie Xie was actually a bit hesitant. It also had items that could increase kill reward levels, but it had hardly separated from Zai Jiu Xun Ge during this game. It knew how many times the latter had died, and now wasn’t the time to use those items.
It asked, "So, during the time stop, did you really go look for Song Gui?"
