Chapter 410
She wasn't worried about the revenue following her; after all, after experiencing "Is this restaurant yours? Then you can open it," the teams had been disrupted and reorganized. Some players even lost their teams, but individual players still had their revenue rankings.
It was a pity, though, that she couldn't hang out with the Octopus Barrel anymore.
She divided her dish into several plates, ensuring that each portion had its own consumption effect. This was something only a chef could do when plating; during the previous cooking competition, she had done the same when letting her teammates taste her dish for buffs.
The dish she prepared could reduce cooldown times, with each portion cutting down an hour—better than nothing. Yu Xunge packed them into her backpack and then looked at Rabbit No. 3, who had just finished making their dish.
A two-star delicacy, crafted in under five minutes.
But Yu Xunge didn’t think this was the limit of their abilities. Whether they were hiding their strength or constrained by the rules, their professional skills had to be balanced with hers.
At that moment, the barrier at the restaurant's entrance vanished, and the "Chef" marker above Yu Xunge's head jumped to Rabbit No. 3.
Not wanting to waste any time, she waved goodbye to Mai Mang and the Octopus Barrel and flew off without looking back.
The rabbit from Restaurant No. 352 muttered in a language that players from the three restaurants couldn’t understand, “What a loss.”
The rabbit from Restaurant No. 235 replied in the same tongue, “They’re sulking.”
The rabbit from Restaurant No. 352 said, “You don’t think they’re doing this on purpose, do you? They actually like Zai Jiu Xun Ge and are trying to attract her attention with this little stunt.”
Rabbit No. 3 replied, “...If you’re going to curse, at least don’t use such filthy language!”
The rabbit from Restaurant No. 235 said, “That’s not us; that’s what Xiao Quan Xian said.”
Rabbit No. 3 retorted, “...They just love all these strange things…”
…
After leaving Restaurant No. 353, Yu Xunge began searching for a place to rest. With her "Mysterious Power" upgraded, she didn’t plan to join a restaurant so soon. She wanted to observe first; she wouldn’t recklessly join a new team.
She avoided places with mandatory spending—what if the menu required skill payments?
She also steered clear of places where she might be counted as violating the rules multiple times.
In addition, while checking the restaurant rules, she casually looked to see if there were any top ten players on the ladder in the restaurants behind No. 353.
With a ranking of 353 in the cooking competition, she could only carry five skill icons. The restaurants behind her likely allowed even fewer, meaning they must have carefully selected highly practical skills.
Unlike before, when she was busy with various activities, Yu Xunge found that although many event gift packs had dropped, not every restaurant had rabbit customers.
The restaurants on the left side of the food street were all ranked higher, and almost every one of them had customers.
In contrast, the restaurants on her right seemed to be in the order of their ranking, and looking around, she saw that most were beyond the 5000 mark. She would have to pass by a hundred restaurants to spot a single rabbit customer.
The restaurants on her left were bustling, while players on her right were idly chatting at the entrances.
These oddly dressed players wore a variety of colorful outfits.
As Yu Xunge walked down the food street, she sometimes felt like she was wandering through a zoo, other times like a cadre inspecting the countryside, and occasionally like she had stumbled into Hengdian…
When she passed a raptor sitting at a restaurant entrance slurping ramen, Yu Xunge began to doubt her mental state.
While passing by Restaurant No. 245, she spotted Wu Ren.
He was leaning on the cash register, propping his head up with one hand. Upon seeing her, he raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked in Moon Fox language, “Out shopping?”
Yu Xunge didn’t pretend not to understand anymore. With the help of B8017913, she replied in her clumsy Moon Fox language, “...Uh, are you working?”
What a silly conversation.
Clearly, Wu Ren thought so too.
The two players stared at each other awkwardly for a few seconds before both looked away.
**Chapter 535: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 49**
Yu Xunge had no intention of stealing Wu Ren's skill icons.
It wasn’t that she was unwilling; she and Wu Ren didn’t have much of a relationship—just a 19% world enemy, a 9% cooperation partner, and a 1% alchemy teacher.
Yu Xunge was simply experiencing a shift from frugality to extravagance. After stealing the "Snap, Lock" skill from Tingzhou Qiu Lu, she felt inflated; such a rare opportunity meant she wouldn’t act unless it was someone from the top hundred on the ladder.
However, she still owed Wu Ren a translation of the game rules. She glanced at the floating rule scroll outside the restaurant, confirmed there was nothing fishy about it, and went inside to sit for a while, helping Wu Ren translate the rules she could.
Although she used B8017913, Yu Xunge kept it balanced, ultimately translating only three rules for Wu Ren—mainly relying on her knowledge of the fewer than 700 languages, and she couldn’t understand a single one.
After finishing the translation for Wu Ren, she prepared to leave, but unexpectedly, the other three players in the restaurant approached her, wanting her help to translate their rules as well. Naturally, this turned into a mutual translation.
Yu Xunge was more than happy to help; even with B8017913, she still had half the rules that were unknown to her.
The players present were all high-level players at levels 17 and 85, so they wouldn’t try to pull a fast one on her.
Mainly, the name Zai Jiu Xun Ge had been getting a lot of attention lately—either completing rare achievements that topped the chat channels or broadcasting ancient curses, even announcing curse cancellations in the world battlefield…
The Divine Game hadn’t been this lively in a long time.
If someone were to deliberately lie during this rule translation, it would be easy to get caught. If Zai Jiu Xun Ge mentioned it in the battlefield chat channel, other players would surely notice.
Several players came over in batches to trade with Yu Xunge in a corner. She maintained her balance, translating roughly the same number of rules for them as they did for her.
The trading went smoothly, but the rabbit customer in the restaurant was overly neurotic. While she translated one-on-one with a player, the rabbit sat beside her, staring intently without saying a word…
When Yu Xunge left the restaurant, she had only five unknown game rules left. Most of the unlocked rules were related to "Chef," so it seemed that next time she looked for a position, being a "Chef" would be the best choice.
It was only a little past three, with less than four hours until closing time.
Theoretically, she could have blended in smoothly, especially with her "Mysterious Power"… huh?
A chaotic sound of footsteps echoed in her ears. Yu Xunge turned to see a swarm of rabbits, big and small, seemingly having coordinated their exit from the restaurant, all standing at the entrance and looking at her.
On the left side of the food street, a whole row of rabbit heads turned to look at her, and the scene sent shivers down her spine.
“It’s her, right?”
“Absolutely!”
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
“Charge!”
“Gagaga, this time it’s a big loss.”
“I heard they cried from anger.”
“I heard they spat blood from anger.”
They didn’t seem to care whether she understood their words; there were all kinds of languages, and she occasionally caught a few phrases, with B8017913 helping her translate some.
In summary, they were coming for her!
Countless rabbits charged toward her, and Yu Xunge had already taken off the moment she spotted the row of rabbit heads.
Yu Xunge thought, "It’s definitely that Rabbit No. 3’s doing!"
There was no way she could offend so many deities at once, and only their kind could coordinate such a simultaneous attack.
The fact that they waited until now to strike was likely to synchronize with the timing of some of the rabbits.
No wonder they agreed to the deal, knowing she would use rabbit fur for "Mysterious Power." Clearly, they had a plan to deal with her.
There were definitely more than 200 rabbits, and just one kick from each would be enough to finish her off.
B8017913 said, “...I’ve never seen such chaos before.”
Before Yu Xunge could respond, she felt a rabbit foot kick her from behind. Luckily, she managed to twist in mid-air, using the momentum to stabilize herself.
But right in front of her was another rabbit foot, and Yu Xunge quickly ducked to avoid a slap to the face.
Players in the food street restaurants all gathered at the doors, watching Zai Jiu Xun Ge being chased by hundreds of rabbits.
Rabbits surrounded her from all sides; forget about the restaurants she had scouted, even finding a random restaurant to slip into was impossible.
As Yu Xunge darted left and right, she found herself near Restaurant No. 353, spotting Rabbit No. 3 sitting at the entrance, sipping coffee. When their eyes met, the rabbit raised its cup in a mock toast.
Yu Xunge gritted her teeth: …So pretentious! So pretentious!!
Yu Xunge asked, “Do you know what that deity is called?”
B8017913 replied, “No idea.”
Just then, she got hit again. She didn’t dare use "Wind Blows Dandelion" here; there were too many rabbits. If each rabbit grabbed a dandelion and crushed it, she would be done for.
The airspace above the food street wasn’t limitless either; flying too high would trigger a transparent barrier.
