Chapter 430
First, after eliminating 8,000 players, Yu Xunge charged straight into the top 1,000 with the ingredients she had gathered from various places, and she remained unscathed.
Next came the surprise blind boxes!
The gift boxes were all anonymous, and winners were never announced; only the names of the eliminated players were revealed.
She immediately glanced at the death list in the [Inventory] section.
People are sensitive about their own names, and Yu Xunge quickly spotted the four characters: [Zai Jiu Xun Ge].
She gasped in shock!!!
Just as she inhaled, she noticed her name had vanished.
Yu Xunge exhaled the breath she had just taken.
In the next moment, the name [Zai Jiu Xun Ge] reappeared.
Yu Xunge: Inhale!
The name disappeared again.
Yu Xunge: Exhale…
The name reappeared.
Yu Xunge: Inhale!
The name vanished once more.
Yu Xunge: Exhale…
The name appeared again.
Yu Xunge: I’m tired.
This process was actually quite brief, like a flickering screen.
But because Yu Xunge had seen her name right away and kept her eyes glued to it, she didn’t miss the changes that occurred in a fraction of a second.
Several other names flickered as well, but they didn’t catch her attention.
Yu Xunge recalled that similar situations had occurred in previous rounds, and she tucked this observation away in her mind.
However, no matter how it flickered, after three seconds, this interface disappeared.
Fortunately, the four characters [Zai Jiu Xun Ge] were ultimately erased.
Of course, Yu Xunge didn’t win a gift box.
As soon as the eighth round ended, she quickly retrieved the ingredients she had personally placed in the fridge and found a corner to sit down.
She summoned Tu Lan, retrieved all her skill icons, and didn’t rush Tu Lan to go back.
Yu Xunge began to open the gift boxes.
She opened ten in a row: three boxes of clothing, four boxes of attributes, and three classes.
The clothing included two windbreakers and a pair of loose shorts, which she tossed into her backpack along with her previous robe.
The four attribute boxes added up to 47 points in intelligence, 21 points in strength, and 19 points in agility—sufficient to compensate for the weakening caused by divine punishment.
The three classes were: [Melee (Hammer)], [Melee (Unarmed)], and [Principles of Magic].
Yu Xunge handed the [Unarmed] class to Tu Lan, her voice warm and kind as she said, “Come on, let’s take an interest class.”
Tu Lan’s face fell as he replied, “Huh? Two years in Star Sea! How about…”
Yu Xunge straightened her expression, her voice serious as she said, “Learn! If you don’t, I’ll show you what I can do!”
Tu Lan: “…” Where did she learn that from?
As she watched Tu Lan start his class, Yu Xunge entered the [Melee (Hammer)] remedial class herself.
In the past, she had thought hammers were clumsy and heavy, lacking the grace of bows, the dominance of spears, and the coolness of firearms.
But after spending a morning smashing people with a big bone, she had fallen in love with the feeling…
Who said this big bone… who said this hammer was no good? The feeling of using a hammer is just fantastic!
After finishing [Melee (Hammer)], she moved on to [Principles of Magic].
After two classes, Yu Xunge felt she had truly reached a critical point. After reminding B8017913 to wake her up when the time came, she leaned against Tu Lan’s belly and took a ten-minute nap to give her mind a brief rest.
Ten minutes later, she was awakened, and after eating a restorative dish, she continued to open ten more boxes.
Three boxes contained five-star delicacies, adding up to three hundred dishes.
One box contained equipment—a legendary bow in the shape of a ring. When worn, she could simply stroke the ring to reveal the bow’s full form, using magic to conjure each arrow.
The advantage was its portability and the fact that it didn’t require arrows, but the downside was that it consumed magic; each arrow cost 50 points of mana.
This bow was named [Breach of Oath], entirely black, beautiful yet understated—perfect for ambushes.
The attribute requirements were almost perfectly aligned with her gift box data.
The legendary skill was also impressive: a group attack skill called [Revenge], similar to her [Rain of Hatred], raining down arrows from the sky, but with damage linked to agility, making it noticeably stronger.
There were two SS-level skills, both healing, which were decent, comparable to the SS-level skills that other players discarded after Yu Xunge eliminated them.
The three classes were: [Cooking], [Engineering], and [Engineering].
Seeing [Cooking], Yu Xunge’s eyes lit up, and she immediately handed both [Engineering] classes to Tu Lan: “Learn! Don’t fall behind at the starting line!”
Tu Lan clutched his head in agony: “You used to be all about happy education.”
As Yu Xunge adjusted her sitting posture and state, striving to be in the best condition for cooking class, she replied, “I’m still about happy education. If you learn, I’ll be happily educating you.”
Tu Lan: “…”
Entering [Cooking], upon seeing the familiar white bear figure in the classroom, she joyfully ran over: “Teacher!”
……
“How does Qi Hua manage to argue with the captain while teaching the cub she’s interested in?”
“We just finished arguing… I wasn’t even arguing with them just now.”
“Ah, right, you two were just facing each other while secretly pulling strings, a perfect tug-of-war.”
“Very ambiguous.”
“Does the captain realize they were wrong?”
“The tasks designed by the gods are always terrible. We just need to design them and play along; why bother with the players Qi Hua is interested in?”
Qi Hua said honestly, “The captain didn’t mean to mess with her; they just wanted to slow her down a bit.”
“Ah, so you just finished suppressing her and now you’re switching to them? You two are taking turns?”
“And this round of suppression is pointless; she’s already hidden her good skills. When will this bug be fixed?”
“The captain wants to wait until she’s eliminated in the next round before she gives her good skills to her pet to fix it.”
“Uh, is she reporting this bug?”
Qi Hua looked at the screen in her hand, her lips curling down but unable to suppress a slight smile.
The captain was getting annoyed.
……
After leaving cooking class, Yu Xunge rubbed her temples. Once she felt a bit more relaxed, she began to speak softly to the leaderboard.
“Oh divine being, I’ve discovered a bug.”
“Before elimination, placing skill icons on pets can avoid losing important skills.”
As for why she didn’t report it immediately after the eighth round’s elimination, it was because Yu Xunge had been pondering the flickering names.
At that moment, she thought the players with flickering names were all exploiting a bug, which was why this situation occurred.
It was already the eighth round, and since no one had been banned, it indicated divine approval.
However, she worried she might forget the current situation, so after each class, she would review the rules and progress of this divine game.
Then she noticed something was off.
If it were truly approved, it wouldn’t flicker.
The names appearing and disappearing repeatedly seemed more like a debate between two sides over whether to include her name.
She could only think of the divine camp and the demon camp.
To prevent other players from reporting it first, once she figured this out, Yu Xunge naturally reported it immediately.
This kind of bug could only be used once; using it too many times might anger the divine being or even lead to the retrieval of the benefits she gained through the bug—what if she had to redraw?
She now reasonably suspected that these lists were not purely random; the divine and demon beings might be manipulating things behind the scenes.
After repeating her thoughts several times, Yu Xunge finally received a response.
【Understood】
The voice was flat and cold, but Yu Xunge felt a hint of reluctance in it.
But that was fine; a response was all that mattered.
Since it was so cold, Yu Xunge didn’t press further; she went straight to the point and asked, “Is there a reward?”
【You escaped a round of elimination using a bug; that is your reward.】
“No, if I had drawn the ‘randomly lose a skill icon’ surprise blind box, then I would have used this bug to avoid risk. But I didn’t draw it. I discovered the bug but didn’t use it, and I resisted the temptation, constantly thinking about reporting it to the divine being.”
After saying this long string of words, Yu Xunge didn’t say anything more; she simply looked up at the sky and let out a long “sigh~~~~~.”
You get it, no matter who’s on the other end of the line, you figure it out!
【Chapter 550: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 75】
(Sorry, there’s a bug; pets do not have unlocked skill icons. I made a small adjustment earlier, setting it so that when Yu Xunge hadn’t activated [Fourfold Spring], she temporarily handed the skill icon of [I Want to Improve So Much] to Tu Lan. The chapters involved in this modification are 555 and 558.)
……
Yu Xunge wasn’t wrong in her guess; those players with flickering names all had some controversy surrounding them.
Qi Hua and the captain were negotiating for her, while other players had their own top picks… no, there were also gods and demons with differing opinions negotiating for her.
There were actually quite a few bugs, just like many games in Zai Jiu Xing that had harmless bugs; these bugs were quite amusing and would occasionally be retained after being reported.
Yu Xunge wasn’t the only player to discover this bug, but she was indeed the first to report it.
Who would have thought that in just the eighth round, after discovering the bug, Yu Xunge would flip the table immediately?
