She tread carefully, as if walking on thin ice, but when enough temptation dangled before her, her greed would overpower her restraint... Sometimes soft-hearted, sometimes impulsive.
No one had taught her how to navigate life, and by the time she encountered one excellent elder after another, she had already become as unchangeable as mountains and rivers. A heavy rain or a fierce storm could only bring her fleeting change.
When the wind died down and the rain ceased, she remained herself.
She was like the wild grass in the mountains, a spark ignited when lightning struck a tree—growing fiercely, inherently unteachable.
She was left with nothing but herself.
All that remained was her pride and dignity.
Whether it was arrogance, self-importance, stubbornness, extremism, obstinacy, or haughtiness... any word would do!
She was left with this single point of pride.
Every decision she made was the one she believed to be the most correct at that moment!
—I will never regret the decisions I make!
She shouted as she charged at Rabbit No. 3, “I told you I was right!!”
【Congratulations to player Zai Jiu Xun Ge for comprehending the SSS-level skill—Phoenix Throne!】

【Congratulations to player Zai Jiu Xun Ge for comprehending the SSS-level skill—Phoenix Throne!】
【Congratulations to player Zai Jiu Xun Ge for comprehending the SSS-level skill—Stubborn as a Mule!】
【Phoenix Throne】 (SSS-level): “No one should ever think they can tame me!”
Upon using this skill, she would be reborn from the ashes, restoring all her states to their peak, forcibly removing all abnormal conditions, resetting all skill cooldowns, and for the next five minutes, all attributes would be multiplied by five; using this skill would consume 20% of her mana; cooldown time: three star sea days.
【Stubborn as a Mule】 (SSS-level): “I will never regret the decisions I make; even if I had to do it a thousand times, I wouldn’t change!”
Upon using this skill, she could forcibly lock all her current states, ignoring all damage and self-consumption, with a duration of five minutes; each use would consume 20% of her mana; cooldown time: three star sea days.
As the notification echoed in her mind, two skill icons automatically appeared on her arm, and the descriptions of these skills naturally formed in her thoughts.
At this moment, her health was down to 0.095.
She was now less than five meters away from Rabbit No. 3, and the 【Chef】 label above its head slowly faded away.
The other rabbits cheerfully made way, blocking all her escape routes.
She chuckled softly, “0.01%.”
Her finger brushed against the starry phoenix—【Phoenix Throne】!
All her wounds healed; her severed arm, shattered bones, and broken body were restored, with health and mana both back to 100%.
The 【Mysterious Power】 was also considered an abnormal state and was forcibly removed.
Her strength, intelligence, constitution, and agility were multiplied by five, and all advanced attributes like critical hit rate, critical damage, hit rate, and evasion rate followed suit!
Her finger brushed again over the flower field swaying in the wind—【Spring Scenery and Flowers】!
She swept over the mountains of blooming trees—【Fourfold Spring】!
Yú Xún Gē stepped through the air, and with each step she took, flowers bloomed around her. Each flower was different in shape and type, yet all shared the same color palette of deep and light reds, reminiscent of her wings.
Three meters...
Two meters...
【Attack Power +15%】
【Attack Speed +100%】
【Critical Hit Rate +10%】
As flowers blossomed and their fragrance wafted through the air, one buff after another settled upon Yú Xún Gē.
In the blink of an eye, she stood before Rabbit No. 3.
She swung her fist directly at Rabbit No. 3's head, which barely dodged, quickly retaliating.
Yú Xún Gē tilted her head slightly to evade effortlessly; her agility had already surpassed ten thousand, allowing her to dodge most of Rabbit No. 3's attacks with ease.
The fivefold attribute advantage compensated for any lack of combat skills.
In no time, Yú Xún Gē had completely gained the upper hand, landing seven or eight hits on Rabbit No. 3 in just a few exchanges.
She hadn’t brought a detection skill, so she couldn’t see Rabbit No. 3’s health, but at that moment, she didn’t care; all that filled her mind was one thought: she had to make Rabbit No. 3 die!
The other rabbits had voluntarily flown a bit further away, leaving the battlefield to her.
As more flowers bloomed in the air, Yú Xún Gē's advantage became increasingly apparent.
Rabbit No. 3 had blood at the corner of its mouth, crossing its arms to block Yú Xún Gē's whip kick, it asked, “You were in a dire situation just now; why didn’t you use 【Ancient Curse】? I left you a way out; I didn’t seal it.”
Yú Xún Gē replied, “Why don’t you drink that bowl of seafood soup? Just like why I didn’t use 【Ancient Curse】.”
You refuse to bow to me, so why should I?
Rabbit No. 3 chuckled softly, as if it had heard something incredibly amusing.
Yú Xún Gē had heard it laugh many times today, but this time was different; it laughed for a long while, and even when Yú Xún Gē snapped its neck, a joyful smile still lingered on its face.
The rabbit's body vanished, transforming into a gift box. She collected the box and charged toward the other rabbits.
From the moment she used 【Phoenix Throne】 to rush at Rabbit No. 3 until now, less than 20 seconds had passed; she could keep killing for a long time!
“What a fat target!”
“Still want to kill us?”
“Uh, why wouldn’t I?”
“... Seems like you really can kill us.”
“You won’t surround me, right?”
“I have my pride.”
“Why didn’t you have any just now?”
“Everyone was here earlier; it was a group activity. If I didn’t participate, wouldn’t that be anti-social?”
“This mechanism is really unreasonable!”
The rabbits, who had long returned to the food street to watch the commotion, began to heckle.
“You’re not thinking of running, are you? You still haven’t completed that one’s task!”
“Exactly, are you scared?”
“Charge! Kill her!”
Yú Xún Gē ignored the noise, focusing on fighting the rabbits.
With nearly a 100% critical hit rate, every strike triggered the healing effect of 【Fourfold Spring】.
【Bedtime Fairy Tale】 ensured that even if the rabbits hit her vital points, they couldn’t kill her in one blow.
And when surrounded by the rabbits, she could escape the encirclement using 【Dandelion in the Wind】.
Earlier, she hadn’t dared to use 【Mysterious Power】 because it forcibly deducted 0.004% health regardless of the damage taken; it was both a protection and a limitation.
But now, using 【Dandelion in the Wind】, even if players caught one or two dandelions, the damage they dealt was minimal. Once she flew out of the encirclement and released the skill, the health she lost felt like a mere tickle.
In the end, she retreated to the barrier above the food street, her back against it, facing only three rabbits at a time.
The only thing Yú Xún Gē had to watch out for was whether the players in the food street would leave the restaurant to come kill her.
But recalling the scene of Rabbit No. 3’s 【Chef】 title fading away, Yú Xún Gē speculated that perhaps leaving the restaurant for too long would cause them to lose their positions; it all depended on how these players chose.
4 minutes and 50 seconds.
Including Rabbit No. 3, Yú Xún Gē had already killed 21 rabbits, and her backpack now held 21 gift boxes.
The air had turned into a sea of flowers, and with 100 buffs, she was becoming bolder and faster with each kill!
No players dared to leave the restaurant to come kill her; the risk was too great. They simply watched quietly, chatting in the battlefield channel and mocking her.
Yú Xún Gē could kill rabbits because her attributes were five times those of the rabbits.
But if they left the restaurant to kill Zai Jiu Xun Ge, not to mention the rewards for killing her, even if they managed to kill her before their titles disappeared, there were still so many active gift boxes around.
It was equivalent to facing dozens of enemies with equal strength above them.
Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t dare to come up.
Even the already furious Dōng Hǎi Shā Kōng could only stand at the restaurant door, cursing Zai Jiu Xun Ge for being parentless.
Those words fell on Yú Xún Gē’s ears like a New Year’s blessing.
4 minutes and 55 seconds.
Yú Xún Gē’s finger touched 【Stubborn as a Mule】!
It was an icon resembling a comet, representing her soul’s fire.
The effects of 【Phoenix Throne】 were directly locked, and her health, mana, and all attributes were locked in place.
There were still over thirty rabbits left on the battlefield, many of which had given up, while the remaining ones were mostly unwilling to concede.
Having chased her for so long without killing her, they now faced the humiliation of potentially being killed by her; they couldn’t bear to leave just like that.
Three minutes later, Yú Xún Gē’s bag gained another eight gift boxes.
Suddenly, the remaining rabbits began mumbling something about achievements and fools, then all turned to leave in unison.
Yú Xún Gē panicked; why were they suddenly so enlightened?!
Having finally turned the tide, how could Yú Xún Gē let them go just like that?
【Chapter 537: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 52】
Yú Xún Gē chased after them directly; it didn’t matter that she had no ranged attack skills—she had a ranged stealing skill.
Taking advantage of the no-cost effect of 【Stubborn as a Mule】, her finger pressed down on the skill icon of 【I Want to Improve So Badly】, clicking frantically like she was trying to grab tickets!
Her movements at that moment were like, “Look, look, look! What time is it now?!”
The rabbits shouted in unison.
“Shameless!”
“Zai Jiu Xun Ge, right? I’ll remember you!”
“Ah, this task must pay more!”
“Only two minutes left, wait for the counterattack.”
“Isn’t there an achievement...?”
