Chapter 440
Song Gui searched for a few minutes but found nothing. A thought flashed through her mind about the ear studs on Yu Xun Ge's ears: "Do you think the ear studs on Zai Jiu Xun Ge's ears are disguised mechanical chips, just like you?"
Y1130 replied, "We're not the Sennheiser's Zhi Que. Anyone can just beckon and walk away with you."
Song Gui didn't want to be overly suspicious. After all, there were countless accessories like earrings and ear studs, and at least half of the players on the battlefield wore them.
Moreover, during her break, she had seen that dragon carrying Zai Jiu Xun Ge flying in the sky.
Song Gui asked, "Do you have a skill to increase pet slots?"
Y1130 responded, "Aren't I enough for you? I'm the king of the mechanical race."
Song Gui countered, "Last time you said you were imprisoned by the mechanical race for over ten thousand years and then exiled from your homeland."
Y1130 shrugged, "So? There's no contradiction there."
Song Gui had nothing more to say. However, after forming a contract with Y1130, she immediately checked his skill library and indeed found no skills to increase pet slots.
After acquiring Li Zhou, she hadn't thought about getting another pet. Whenever opportunities to increase pet slots arose, she had passed them up, never expecting to encounter Y1130 later.
Eventually, she quickly equipped herself with two pet slots but never went to find Li Zhou.
In that dim moment of the "Final Showdown," she realized it was all too late.
But she still prepared an extra pet slot.

04:55
In the final minutes, Yu Xun Ge struck again! And it was someone familiar!
【Congratulations to player Zai Jiu Xun Ge for completing the elimination】
【You will receive the death penalty of player Pen Zai Fa Da】
【Player Fa Da chooses to exchange a divine talent skill for the eleventh resurrection opportunity in this divine game. You will receive that divine talent skill as your loot】

【Congratulations to player Zai Jiu Xun Ge for completing the elimination】
【You will receive the death penalty of player Pen Zai Fa Da】
【Player Fa Da chooses to exchange a divine talent skill for the eleventh resurrection opportunity in this divine game. You will receive that divine talent skill as your loot】
【Ding—You have received a kill reward: Mana +1100】
【You have obtained the divine talent skill: A Skewer of Barbecue】
【A Skewer of Barbecue】 (SS): Use any ingredients to cook a skewer of barbecue. The skewer will randomly grant a permanent buff effect. Your cooking skills and the quality of the ingredients will determine the effectiveness of the buff; each time you use this skill to make a skewer, it will temporarily consume 3 points of luck (this luck will recover after 7 natural days).
Yu Xun Ge's first reaction after reading this skill was, no wonder Pen Zai Fa Da didn't want it.
Not only does it consume luck, but the recovery period is also quite long.
Her second reaction was, doesn't this fit her perfectly?!
Her luck was at max +9, and the first to be consumed was the luck in parentheses.
Previously, only the "Renovation" skill used it, but since she didn't use it often, it felt like a waste of the overflowing luck. Now, this skill was just what she needed!
Though it was only SS rank, in Yu Xun Ge's eyes, it was far more practical than many SSS ranks!
She still had a third of the high-quality ingredients she had brought from Restaurants 1, 2, and 3, and she planned to use them all on this skill.
She had died eleven times, which meant Pen Zai Fa Da had already lost two divine talent skills.
Standing in the starting room, excitement and anticipation mingled with a chill.
This was a sacred ground for the rise of the strong and a graveyard for fallen geniuses.
Contrary to her previous imaginings, she now witnessed a 12th-tier player on the verge of losing everything...
Yu Xun Ge delayed leaving the starting room until the resurrection time was nearly up. After running outside for three minutes, she awaited the start of the fifth round.
05:00, the fifth round.
Yu Xun Ge found herself transformed into a raccoon. Scanning the game field, she noticed that only five types of transformed players remained, including the rabbits.
【Notice: The gameplay from the third and fourth rounds remains, but the maximum distance between pets and their owners has increased to 3 meters.】
【New setting: Regardless of the method, if you successfully hit the first target you want to eliminate within 5 seconds after hitting it, hitting a second target of the same type will count as a successful elimination.】
The previous round had already been tricky; pets and players counted as one type. As long as you hit a player and the pet closely following them in succession, you could complete the elimination.
This round was even trickier, allowing all players to unleash their full potential, rather than just those with linking skills gaining the upper hand.
Not only was the game pace faster, but the difficulty had also increased.
In the last round, Yu Xun Ge had faced less pressure and had frequently succeeded, not only because she was up against a player without obvious pets like herself, but also because 80% of players lacked ranged linking skills.
But now, both of those advantages had been diminished.
Yu Xun Ge glanced towards the 11 o'clock direction, where a wild raccoon wielding a thunder gun stood, a golden thunderbird perched on its shoulder. Turning to the 2 o'clock direction, she saw an elegant raccoon with a white hammer and ear studs.
Yu Xun Ge clutched her chest, feeling her heart race.
She decided to politely ask, "You wouldn't mind, would you?"
B8017913 replied, "Huh?"
Yu Xun Ge said, "Looks like you don't mind."
With that, she took off her ear stud and stuffed it into her mouth. It was safer this way; compared to the bushy-eared Xisha fox, the raccoon wearing ear studs was too obvious.
She didn't want to be recognized by Song Gui, just as she would notice Song Gui's ear studs. Being of the mechanical race, Song Gui would surely pay attention to other players' accessories. It was fine in everyday situations, as players wearing earrings were everywhere, but in this game where pets were a must, caution was key.
B8017913: "………………"
B8017913: "I do mind! Did you hear me? I mind!"
Yu Xun Ge: "Then just deal with it!"
With her pet hidden, Yu Xun Ge took off running!!
She didn't want to be like a dead fish, speared by a thunder gun and dragged around the field.
Nor did she want to be treated like a golf ball or baseball, smashed towards another raccoon.
It was terrifying that these two troublemakers were in the same race; how could this race not thrive?
As she ran, Yu Xun Ge quickly noticed something: the number of transformed players was quite unbalanced.
Now, only half of the transformed types remained. After several rounds of consolidation, Yu Xun Ge might not be able to count which type had increased the most, but at least some were easy to identify.
Among the five types of transformed players, including rabbits, the rabbit population was the smallest, followed closely by the largest type, the snake-necked beast.
The snake-necked beast was enormous, with a long neck that could almost reach the flying transformed beasts and pets above. It was easy to recognize.
From the first round until now, the players of this transformed type had not changed much, just like the rabbits.
Recalling the powerful skills she had copied from the snake-necked beast, Yu Xun Ge speculated that these snake-necked beast players might be cosmic wanderers or demon lord-level overlords?
In this round of elimination, players were repeatedly sorted based on their strength and performance.
Strong players played against strong players, slightly stronger ones teamed up with those who knew how to play, while the weak and foolish played house.
No, strictly speaking, this game had been sorting and filtering from the very beginning; each game and each match was a new round of filtering...
Yu Xun Ge reached out to copy an explosive skill from a snake-necked beast and then threw it at a nearby raccoon.
The latter had a giant pet behind it, about the size of an adult elephant, which occasionally shielded the raccoon from incoming skills.
At that moment, the little raccoon was frantically dodging three skill beams that had already connected with its pet. Naturally, Yu Xun Ge wanted to join the fray.
The skill flew towards the little raccoon and exploded quickly. Yu Xun Ge was sure it hit both the raccoon and the giant pet.
But it didn't count as a successful elimination.
The three skill beams also hit the little raccoon and its pet, but it was ineffective.
That wasn't its pet!
This phenomenon often occurred, but it was unclear whether it was summoned by a skill or some kind of item.
Yu Xun Ge immediately abandoned that target and followed a few snake-necked beasts from a distance, waiting for the next round of copying.
However, half an hour had passed since the start of this round, and Yu Xun Ge had not succeeded even once; her success rate was plummeting.
The strength of the raccoon players was clearly several tiers above that of the Xisha foxes, and everyone was gaining experience, playing more skillfully.
Players had already begun to pair up—two different types of transformed players sticking closely together, their pets occasionally swapping places, allowing them to shield each other from skills, confuse enemies, and at critical moments, break skill connections.
As game experience accumulated, players found that pets actually distracted attention and lowered success rates; it was better to focus on hitting the players directly. Yu Xun Ge felt increasing pressure, her health dropping below 10% several times, and she had to use 【If You Can, Kill Me】 almost as soon as it cooled down.
【Chapter 573: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 88】
At that moment, Yu Xun Ge was running for her life alongside a rabbit. The two small animals looked about the same height, at least when judging by the height of their ears.
