Chapter 407
“Just struggle a little longer; I hope you won’t regret your decision,” said Rabbit No. 1 before leaving.
Seeing Yu Xunge standing there in a daze, Mai Mang Xie Xie explained, “That’s how the event gift packs work. If they like you, they’re generous; if they don’t, they can be quite annoying.”
Yu Xunge glanced at the octopus barrel, which was lazily sprawled behind the counter. It seemed indifferent to the event gift packs, more concerned about the sales figures.
Yu Xunge: “Didn’t they ever suspect that these event gift packs are divine?”
B8017913: “Now that I’ve revealed the secret to you, it’s easy for you to see the flaws. But have you ever imagined that the mechanical race could be divine?”
Yu Xunge: “... No.”
B8017913: “Have you played Kart Racing? Did you ever think the vending machines in there were divine?”
Yu Xunge understood its point.
B8017913: “To players unaware of the truth, the event gift packs are like the mechanical race in the Gem Miner’s Market or the vending machines in the Kart Racing parking lot.”
Yu Xunge sighed in relief and silently thanked B8017913.
Knowing more than others often leads to more opportunities. She wondered if Song Gui, who also received the mechanical race, had learned this information…
But it seemed the other party had already been quite dazzling even before acquiring the mechanical race.
She took out the formal dress for the ball that Song Gui had given her. From what Rabbit No. 1 implied, it seemed her debt of life points had already been settled. She didn’t plan to wear this dress anymore.
She packed the dress along with the emerald feather bag that Song Gui had smashed over her head back into her backpack, intending to sell them at a high price to Li Zhou later.
B8017913 saw through her plan: “You’re being a bit unscrupulous again.”
Yu Xunge: “Me? Unscrupulous? She’s over there saying, ‘Song Gui’s love is like moonlight, equally showering every living being,’ and look at how prickly that is! Is that moonlight? It’s just equally prickly for every living being!”
Meanwhile, Rabbit No. 3 had finished ordering and was resting with its eyes closed, sporting a single rabbit ear.
In the kitchen, Yu Xunge occasionally stole glances at Rabbit No. 3, who was sitting directly across from her. Seeing the rabbit so calm, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Not bad; this divine being was quite magnanimous.
Even though she had stolen the rabbit ear while time was stopped, it was clear from the rabbit’s reaction that it knew she was the culprit.
Yu Xunge huddled in the kitchen, determined not to provoke Rabbit No. 3.
But she was quiet; the little seahorse was not.
The little seahorse circled around Yu Xunge, finding nothing fun, and went to bother Rabbit No. 3 instead.
It tugged at Rabbit No. 3’s remaining ear and asked, “Why do other event gift packs have two ears, but you only have one?”
The little seahorse continued, “As an employee of Restaurant 353, I’m making my first reasonable request: you must have two ears to eat at Restaurant 353.”
Rabbit No. 3 slowly opened its eyes, its red pupils fixed on Yu Xunge. It pointed its chin at her: “Ask her.”
Yu Xunge: “…”
【Chapter 530: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 45】
While Yu Xunge was still pondering how to respond, three colorful gift boxes suddenly fell from above the open-air restaurant, landing perfectly in front of her, Mai Mang Xie Xie, and the octopus barrel.
Yu Xunge: ?
Mai Mang Xie Xie recognized what they were but paused for a moment before exclaiming, “Where did you send that troublemaking event gift pack? It’s violated the rules three times.”
Yu Xunge didn’t mention that she had sent it to Restaurant No. 1. Instead, she said, “It’s probably that the players in that restaurant didn’t send it back?”
Even if they couldn’t attack each other, the Winter Sea Shark wouldn’t easily let Rabbit No. 2 off the hook.
Rabbit No. 2 hadn’t licked the little seahorse’s feet, and since it had ignored several of the little seahorse’s requests, it had already violated two rules.
The dining time for the other party was only 30 minutes, and Rabbit No. 2 had only arrived a little later than Rabbit No. 1. By now, 30 minutes had passed since she served Rabbit No. 2.
And since Rabbit No. 2 hadn’t returned to finish its meal within the dining time, it had also violated Rule Seven: Restaurant 353 prohibits waste.
Three violations, and it was boxed up.
In fact, the rules of their restaurant weren’t that strict.
Mai Mang Xie Xie wanted to eliminate more event gift packs, but compared to them, the octopus barrel clearly cared more about the restaurant’s sales figures. It wanted the final game rewards; whoever was stronger called the shots.
Rabbit No. 3’s gaze shifted to a spot in the sky, and then its expression turned strange as it glanced at Yu Xunge.
Yu Xunge’s attention was already drawn to the gift boxes. The little seahorse had quickly opened one, revealing a rabbit hair inside. Yu Xunge couldn’t see the information, but Mai Mang Xie Xie looked quite satisfied.
As for the gift box she received, she had no intention of keeping it. Unless there was a special reason, converting resources into strength immediately was the best strategy.
Yu Xunge opened the gift box directly.
【■·A Rabbit Tooth】: Unlocks a new skill or re-locks an already unlocked skill.
For a moment, Yu Xunge felt a bit disappointed.
Even though she had been anxious about the skill icons being forcibly stripped away, she didn’t regret it.
Initially, she thought that in the world battlefield, it would be hard to steal attribute points or other players’ equipment and items. But since she was running a restaurant, being able to steal currency or the secrets of the strong was already great.
Who would have thought the game mechanics would give her such a big surprise and scare?
Even now, with the chance to choose again before her, she still wouldn’t put 【I Want to Progress So Much】 back to re-lock it.
With so many divine beings, how could she bear to let them go?
Moreover, some things became clearer to her as she pondered behind the curtain.
She had been thrown into a battlefield she shouldn’t have entered, surrounded by strong enemies. Her attack, defense, combat skills, and the richness of her skills were all inferior to theirs…
Rather than getting tangled up in those shortcomings or worrying about needing this or that skill, the key was to make good use of her core skills.
This moment was both her crisis and her greatest opportunity.
Even Song Gui was interested in her stealing skills… She suspected that what Song Gui truly wanted was probably 【I Could Just Steal】.
This realization only struck her when she calmed down.
Was Song Gui the type to get flustered and abandon her plans in a fit of rage after being killed in an instant?
Even if the achievement of being killed by Zai Jiu Xun Ge was displayed in the chat channel, if she didn’t speak up, Yu Xunge wouldn’t voluntarily claim it.
Both of them were not the type to chat much in the channel, yet Song Gui had chosen to speak up.
She could have waited longer before taking action against herself.
Setting aside the items, if she truly wanted 【Midnight Exile】, wouldn’t the safest way be to wait until she died a few more times? It would be best to let her less important divine gifted skill be taken away by other players.
She was the fastest player to kill herself among all players, one step ahead of all those coveting her, and she was practically already in Song Gui’s pocket…
Yet she chose to act when she shouldn’t have.
The illustrious Owl Emperor would be so impatient?
Perhaps she sensed that Yu Xunge had previously returned the life points for the dress, so she wanted to strike first and secure her gains? That could be possible.
However, she leaned more towards another answer: what Song Gui wanted most wasn’t the skill of 【Midnight Exile】, but the already used 【I Could Just Steal】!
The rewards of the divine game were so powerful; as long as she could reset the cooldown of this skill, she could use this divine gifted skill to strip away the divine gifts she desired.
One or two 【Midnight Exile】 divine gifted skills couldn’t compare to her personally selecting and stripping away a divine gift—one she considered the best in the world battlefield.
But all these speculations might just be her tendency to overthink acting up again.
Putting Song Gui out of her mind.
Yu Xunge decided on the new skill she wanted to unlock—【Ancient Curse】.
Then she immediately cursed herself.
【I curse that in this divine game, every existence that attempts to steal or deprive Zai Jiu Xun Ge of her skill icons, upon successfully stealing or depriving, will randomly lose one skill every hour for the rest of their lives. Only by returning the stolen skill icons can the curse be lifted.】
She initially wanted to say “randomly lose one divine gifted skill every hour,” but the curse wouldn’t allow it. However, losing one skill randomly was enough.
And it wasn’t over.
【I curse that in this divine game, the sixth existence to kill Zai Jiu Xun Ge will lose the skill they used most frequently in nearly a star sea year.】
【I curse that in this divine game, the ninth existence to kill Zai Jiu Xun Ge will lose the skill they used most frequently in nearly a star sea year.】
These two curses were also meant to say “randomly lose one divine gifted skill,” but she couldn’t bring herself to say it. She could only make a slight adjustment.
