Chapter 433
Despite her words insisting that Tu Lan should die for the ninth time and never come back, Yu Xinge had a tendency to keep a card up her sleeve just before reaching her limits.
With 50 minutes left until the cooking adventure concluded, Yu Xinge decided not to take any more risks.
Just like before with Tu Lan, she used "I Want to Improve So Much" on passing players who were half-employed, healing them as soon as their health dropped below 70%. She would never be reckless.
As for her current status as a black market player, there was nothing she could do about it; this was the best she could manage.
Players and foodies bustled through the food street, and Yu Xinge casually asked her electronic pet, "Can the gods hear us chatting?"
B8017913: "Generally, no."
Yu Xinge: "Hmm... So at some point, they did hear us, right?"
B8017913: "It's complicated."
Yu Xinge thought of certain legends: "Does mentioning a name disturb its owner?"
B8017913's voice showed a noticeable tremor: "Yes!!!"
Yu Xinge glanced at a lemon passing by and rephrased her question: "Is there a god named Lemon?"
B8017913: "…No!"
Well, that was a close call… Let’s not summon anyone else.
**Chapter 553: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 78**
Yu Xinge and B8017913 remained silent for five minutes before continuing their conversation.
Yu Xinge: "Is there a god called Spicy Wings?"
This time, B8017913 didn’t say there wasn’t; instead, it replied, "I don’t know all the gods."
They were discussing things only they understood, but both knew what the other meant.
Yu Xinge had been suspicious of that statement because she had previously asked B8017913 how many gods were present here.
B8017913 had answered that it didn’t know, joking that there were only a few top-tier ones, and it was hard to say beyond the third tier.
If it couldn’t identify them all, and given B8017913’s usual caution, how could it be so certain that there were no gods named Qihua and Bai Chuan?
However, Bai Chuan might not necessarily be a god's name.
She didn’t think gods would turn their true forms into figurines, write their names on them, and give them to players to play with.
She leaned towards the idea that Bai Chuan’s owner had been watching them ever since gifting Bai Chuan, making B8017913 hesitant to answer.
She just didn’t know if Qihua and Bai Chuan were the first rabbit or… or that third rabbit.
The fourth rabbit wasn’t out of the question either; even though it had been right next to her during class, it didn’t mean gods couldn’t operate on multiple fronts.
Wait a minute, Yu Xinge asked, "You mentioned your mutation and the Snow Town Agreement, and you brought up that one… just that one."
B8017913: "The Moon God isn’t a name; it’s a divine title. It’s fine to say it; it won’t disturb the gods."
Yu Xinge: "Oh."
Until the cooking adventure ended, Yu Xinge didn’t manage to steal any skill icons from players.
After observing for half an hour, B8017913 couldn’t hold back any longer: "Why do you only target those demon lord-level players?"
Yu Xinge: "Why the sudden question?"
B8017913: "My data analysis tells me you’re doing it on purpose."
Yu Xinge: "Yeah, I’m holding back. I got too much before, so I want to balance it out by being a bit 'unlucky.' Is that useful?"
B8017913 fell silent for a long time, only a faint hum of electricity could be heard. After a while, it said, "I don’t know if it’s useful."
Yu Xinge wasn’t disappointed. Leaning against the transparent barrier of the restaurant’s kitchen, she said, "Then let’s just try it out."
She held a shiny, large bone, keeping a vigilant eye on her surroundings, ready to dodge any skills that might come her way, occasionally using "Breach of Oath" to shoot some cold arrows.
Whenever she spotted a familiar strong player but couldn’t recall their title, she would immediately check the leaderboard.
She divided her focus, analyzing one of the skills she had acquired every few minutes.
In this cooking adventure, she had obtained a total of 10 skill icons: 5 S-level, 15 SS-level, and 21 SSS-level skills.
All the skill icons were SSS-level, meaning she had acquired a total of 31 SSS-level skills.
This didn’t even count what she would gain at closing time.
Currently, due to her death, she had only lost one divine talent skill, 4 S-level skills, and 3 SS-level skills.
This was something she couldn’t have obtained in previous games like Diamond Miner or Kart Racing…
She glanced at the kitchen of the restaurant across the food street, where several players were sitting behind the cooking station, avoiding the residual skill waves coming from the restaurant’s entrance.
These players looked somewhat familiar; she vaguely remembered one of the characters in their names.
They were probably names she had worked hard to memorize long ago but had since forgotten.
However, seeing these players, she wouldn’t check the leaderboard for their titles again.
It felt like she was making the same mistake that Dong Hai Sha Leng had made before.
At this point, she could still recall the moment she snatched "Midnight Exile," the shock and fear on Dong Hai Sha Leng’s face—this was the price of underestimating the weak.
But now, as she took a few steps up, looking back, she found she couldn’t see them anymore…
Yu Xinge let out a breath, reminding herself to wait until closing time—if she could avoid being too busy running for her life—before checking the leaderboard again and memorizing all the players’ titles.
Thinking of closing time, she remembered something: the closing time this morning was set for 1 AM, right after the cooking competition… but the cooking adventure ended at 7 PM. How would the hours between now and closing time be calculated?
…
7:00 PM, the last round of eliminations.
Then came a series of system notifications.
【The "Cooking Adventure" segment has officially ended】
【The food street is now closed; all divine game players, player pets, event gift packs, and foodies’ skills, items, and curios are all sealed and cannot attack each other】
【Closing time: 7:00 PM - 1:00 AM】
Ah, so it’s a halftime break!
Yu Xinge was so moved she almost cried.
She immediately summoned Tu Lan and then collapsed onto Tu Lan’s belly, letting herself go limp like a pancake.
Just as Yu Xinge peacefully closed her eyes, she felt something near her head. Lazily opening her eyes, she turned her gaze to the corner and found a rabbit the size of a Chihuahua.
B8017913: "Why do they like to find you so much?"
Yu Xinge: "Hehe, I’m the best stock to invest in right now; you wouldn’t understand."
B8017913: "?"
Yu Xinge: "If I get a bit stronger, I lose that sense of growth. If I get a bit weaker, I haven’t shown my investment value yet."
B8017913: "Is this Divine Game 101?"
The rabbit pointed at the large bone Yu Xinge had casually placed on the ground and asked, "Is this yours?"
That feeling of being confronted by the victim… Yu Xinge shook her head, looking confused and innocent as she said, "No."
Rabbit: "…"
The rabbit that had come to settle the score with Yu Xinge was momentarily at a loss.
Tu Lan: "I can vouch for her; that’s not hers."
Both the girl and the dragon remained lying on the ground, calmly gazing at the rabbit.
It wasn’t hers; it was a bone from a Beidu beast.
The rabbit had a solid argument: "I saw you holding that big bone when the game ended and everyone’s invisibility wore off."
Yu Xinge: "…"
What a fresh experience; a god, actually reasoning with her!
This must be a divine being from a female-oriented genre!
Yu Xinge rolled over, shifting from lying flat to lying on her side, facing the rabbit. She looked at the rabbit and asked, "Why are you looking for the owner of that big bone?"
The rabbit plopped down and answered, "I want to buy that big bone."
Oh??!
Yu Xinge’s eyes widened in surprise. To guard against any tricks, she didn’t rush to jump up and catch the ball with her face; instead, she patiently asked, "Why?"
The rabbit answered patiently, "It broke my friend’s front tooth, and my friend asked me to buy it back, along with skinning the owner of the big bone."
Yu Xinge: "…"
Yu Xinge indignantly slapped the ground: "That’s too much!!"
Rabbit: "Name your price."
Yu Xinge rolled over, turning her back to the rabbit: "I already said it’s not mine!"
**Chapter 554: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 79**
Let’s call this female-oriented rabbit No. 5.
No. 5 Rabbit patted her shoulder with its paw, speaking slowly, "I’ll buy it from you for a rabbit hair."
Yu Xinge didn’t mind the hassle; she immediately rolled back to face No. 5 Rabbit and asked, "You can just take it; it’s wild big bone, anyone can pick it up."
Although the bone was of good quality and had considerable attack power—otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen it as a weapon—she didn’t plan to use it for long; she had already activated "Breach of Oath."
The remaining game time could be entirely spent using "Breach of Oath."
She wouldn’t mind letting the rabbit take the bone; as for trading for rabbit hair…
While Yu Xinge enjoyed getting something for nothing, she really couldn’t figure out No. 5 Rabbit’s angle.
