Chapter 413
“Why did you go all out? I told you not to play with that guy; he’s toxic. Once he targets a player, they just can’t help but go all out…”
“Alright! I’ll get my revenge! I’ll charge in first, you guys cover me!”
“Get lost!”
Perhaps it was the sheer number of players in the food street, or maybe it was the proximity to the main road. There were plenty of high-level players around, and every player had maxed out their language skills, each knowing a thousand different languages.
The rabbits couldn’t find a language that all players wouldn’t understand, so they just started babbling randomly, resulting in a cacophony of languages.
B8017913 was translating what it could understand, its voice tinged with a hint of cheerfulness.
Yu Xunge laughed and asked, “0.01%?”
B8017913: “0.01%!”
The rabbits dashed away, and with her agility exceeding a thousand, Yu Xunge managed to forcefully take down another rabbit just before the effect of her skill, “Stubborn as a Mule,” wore off.
In the final seconds, she burst into Restaurant 353, hearing the sound of rabbits chasing after her. She quickly scanned the restaurant, confirming there were no new chefs, and shouted, “Shokugeki!” (食戟, a cooking duel).
With no opponents in sight, she only needed to whip up a dish to take her place.
They had deduced that employees and those entering the restaurant couldn’t attack each other, but she wasn’t sure if outsiders could attack each other. To be safe, she decided to take her position first!
The restaurant door sealed shut, trapping the rabbits trying to chase her outside. She glanced back at the rabbits blocked from entering and waved at them.
After a few exchanged words, the rabbits frowned and left.
At that moment, Yu Xunge finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the octopus barrel behind the cash register, which waved its tentacles at her, “Well done, welcome back.”
She then turned to see Mai Mang Crab and the little seahorse sitting right next to the cash register. From this angle…
Yu Xunge glanced back and caught sight of the still-drifting sea of flowers in the air.
Not just her, she could sense that nearby players were secretly observing her.
Mai Mang Crab was tapping its claws excitedly, outputting damage like crazy, and glanced at her, saying, “Back already?”
The little seahorse, tightly hugging Mai Mang Crab’s leg, said to her, “Zai Jiu Xun Ge, you feel unfamiliar to me.”
Yu Xunge extended her hand, “Let’s get to know each other again. I’m Zai Jiu Xun Ge. Can I have one of your legs as a welcome gift?”
The little seahorse also reached out, “A strand of rabbit fur.”
Yu Xunge immediately withdrew her hand, “Forget it then, I won’t lick it. I’ll just take my position.”
Before she could reach the kitchen, she heard the notification sound.
【Congratulations to player Zai Jiu Xun Ge for completing the rare achievement: Did you think event gift packs are for fools?】
【Did you think event gift packs are for fools?: In the Divine Game, kill 30 event gift packs within 10 minutes.】
【Achievement reward: 10th-tier exclusive custom title · Proud Undying.】
【As you are the first player to complete this achievement, you receive an additional reward of 100 distributable attribute points.】
Seeing the 10th-tier title reward, Yu Xunge opened the leaderboard to check her ranking, discovering her combat power had risen from 7th to 8th tier. She hadn’t reached the 10th tier yet, so it seemed the title reward wasn’t based on her current combat power.
For now, she didn’t pay much attention to the title; even if she equipped it, she wouldn’t be able to see what skills it granted.
The extra 100 attribute points were nice. Strictly speaking, the achievements she had earned so far had all provided decent rewards, but none would drastically change a player’s combat power.
However, the honor of being the “first to complete this achievement” did give this battlefield newbie a bit of a thrill.
“Kill 30 event gift packs within 10 minutes” was a rare achievement that no player had completed yet, which wasn’t surprising.
It wasn’t that the event gift packs were hard to kill; the world battlefield was vast, filled with strong players, and naturally, she wasn’t the only one capable of taking down event gift packs of the same attributes and combat power but with top-notch combat skills.
The challenge lay in the time limit and the number of kills required.
Event gift packs were already scattered, and once they tried to run, just finding them would consume a lot of time.
In the last two minutes, Yu Xunge had only managed to kill one rabbit, precisely because these event gift packs were hard to catch. Even if they changed forms, they were still difficult to pin down; their attributes were right there.
If it hadn’t been for the swarm of rabbits attacking her in the earlier minutes, allowing her to take down 29 rabbits before the rabbit team-building ended, she would never have completed this achievement.
It was a matter of timing, location, and opportunity.
At that moment, her backpack held 30 gift boxes and two strands of rabbit fur she had stolen with her skill.
Yu Xunge walked over to the sink, washing the blood off her hands and face, only to find her hair matted together with blood. She decided to place her head under the automatic sink infused with water magic, letting the cold water wash over her hair.
With her head lowered, she stared at the bloodied water in the basin and asked, “0.01%, do you think this 0.01% is a result of luck or my hard work?”
B8017913: “I’ve pondered that question countless times. I remember asking you why you came to Garbage Mountain to find me.”
B8017913: “You said, ‘I heard from other players that you did something great, and I thought you were impressive, so I wanted to see you… to ask if you regret it.’”
Yu Xunge: “Yeah.”
B8017913: “So if I hadn’t helped you back in the 1211 commercial district, and hadn’t left a deep impression during our trade, would you have come to find me after hearing my story?”
Yu Xunge: “No.”
B8017913: “If I helped you, but my story didn’t move you, and you didn’t feel curious about me, would you have come to find me?”
Yu Xunge: “No.”
B8017913: “If you hadn’t encountered that adorable L12857777, and hadn’t awakened it, would you have come to find me?”
Yu Xunge pondered for a long time before answering, “I would have. It just constantly reminds me of you, but the key factor in deciding whether I’d seek you out isn’t it.”
B8017913: “In those few minutes when you called my number and I ignored you, I kept thinking, if I don’t acknowledge you now and let you leave, would that 0.01% disappear? But you didn’t leave, so I couldn’t bring myself to take that gamble.”
B8017913: “We’re lucky, Zai Jiu Xun Ge, but our victory doesn’t rely on luck.”
B8017913: “It’s a series of choices that connect like nodes, ultimately forming a line, leading to a glimmer of possibility that we seized in time!”
B8017913: “Our 0.01% isn’t luck.”
【Chapter 538: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 53】
Yu Xunge: “If you can talk, then say more.”
B8017913: “Alright, to be precise, we rely on luck one-third and hard work two-thirds.”
A melody involuntarily echoed in Yu Xunge’s mind: “...Please stop, I’m about to sing it out.”
She used a soft cloth from the kitchen to dry her hair halfway and began preparing the dish for the Shokugeki, casually opening the battlefield chat channel.
As before, the new rare achievement was pinned at the top, and when she clicked in, she just caught the last few seconds of the countdown.
【Congratulations to player Zai Jiu Xun Ge for completing the rare achievement—Did you think event gift packs are for fools?】 (00:00:08)
The chat group was still buzzing about her.
【Tingzhou·Mirror Goose】: Why isn’t she talking? Did she learn this bad habit from Song Gui?
【Zelan·Maple Syrup】: No way, she’s my kid.
【Mai Mang·Crab】: She’s crying.
【Zelan·Maple Syrup】: Huh? Is the pressure that high after going all out?
【Mai Mang·Crab】: Right? Just watching makes me feel the pressure.
【Tingzhou·Autumn Deer】: I told you that skill was stolen from me, and Donghai Shark Cold is still smashing plates! That’s living proof!
【Bei Yan·Mu Ye】: Is she a thief like you? Or a mage? That punch doesn’t look like a melee attack.
【Bei Yan·Shan Hui】: Can’t really tell. You know Tingzhou Autumn Deer’s words are just for show. She clearly used the event gift pack’s drop to steal Donghai Shark Cold’s skill.
【Sakura·Oolong】: So how can we drive so many event gift packs crazy? This achievement looks pretty good.
【Mai Mang·Crab】: I’ve said everything I can. I just calculated the event gift packs that entered our restaurant to let my little seahorse lick their feet, plus some high-intensity trash talk to provoke them into making a deal, and that’s how it went.
【Potted Plant·Tea Snail】: I can’t believe that.
【Buried Spring·Yanshan】: Let me give it a try.
【Tingzhou·Autumn Deer】: Is there even a deer that can hear me? It’s definitely Zai Jiu Xun Ge who stole my skill. Donghai Shark Cold, you agree, right? You can understand me, right?
【Cui He·Berry Fragrance】: Is Zai Jiu the only player?
【Mai Mang·Crab】: Oh my god, Cui He is online too?
【Ghost·Sang Bei】: Seems like it. I wonder how long this world can last.
【Tingzhou·Mirror Goose】: Oh my god, Ghost is online too?!
【Jian Qi·Amber Pattern】: 8th tier combat power, how long has she been in the world battlefield?
【Tingzhou·Mirror Goose】: Did 27 players go online today?
【Zelan·Fat Goose】: I’m keeping count, it’s 29.
