In the blink of an eye, Yu Xunge, who had been nervously tugging at her hair while sitting cross-legged in a dark room, found herself restored to her original form. The world brightened, but a shadow loomed overhead.
She lifted her gaze slightly and saw several players and a few rabbits surrounding her, all eyeing her with predatory intent.
Uh, aside from the rabbits, the players included:
Zichuan Taoyou, Yinghua Jihua, Baonü Jiche, Zichuan Balè, and Tingzhou Qiulu...
What a familiar lineup; it felt like she had seen them somewhere before.
**Chapter 577: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 92**
“Hey? Who made a move? Didn’t we just lift the transformation disguise we set? Why did it also remove the skills the players were using?”
“Could it be the captain’s doing? You said you didn’t care.”
“I didn’t do anything.”
“...Oh, I just overheard from the demon side; it was Qihua who made the move.”
“The captain finally smiled.”
“The captain finally smiled.”
“The captain finally smiled.”
Captain: “...” Where did they learn this annoying habit of repeating the same thing over and over?
...
Yu Xunge felt as if the sky had fallen.
The atmosphere was eerily quiet.
She sent B8017913 back to the pet space and silently activated the skill **"If You Can, Kill Me"**, planning to use **"Mysterious Power"** to endure this crisis once her health dropped to a critical point.
Just as she awkwardly pondered what to say, the rabbit to her left spoke up: “I told you it was fake!”
Clearing her throat, Yu Xunge replied in the language of the oak owl, “Actually, I’m the hidden Easter egg of this round of the game.”
Great, the atmosphere just got even worse!!
A voice from behind shattered the silence: “Wuwuwu, thank you! Her mental fortitude and ability to handle pressure make me jealous!”
Yu Xunge: “...” That familiar childish voice, that familiar tone—she didn’t even need to look to know who it was.
Just as she was about to say something else in the oak owl language, the rabbit on her left punched her in the eye.
That familiar strength and claw-like sensation made Yu Xunge cover her eyes and cry out, “It’s you!!!”
But then she noticed something odd—she hadn’t lost any health!
Yu Xunge chuckled, grinning at the rabbit, “Hehe, no health lost!” The game was over; either her health was locked, or the attack was ineffective.
The rabbit’s fist tightened again. After hearing her say “It’s you,” it realized who this player was. Sure enough, it knew it had inexplicably gotten angry and wanted to hit this player, regardless of whether she was in the form of a Xisha fox.
The atmosphere grew even darker. Yu Xunge wiped the smile off her face, wondering if it was too late to run.
Fortunately, a late game notification saved her. With the notification came her immediate return to the starting room.
**[Closing time has ended. The ordinary rules of the Divine Game that all players must follow are now in effect. Violating the rules will result in divine punishment. All players without identities will receive new identities based on your performance and be sent to various game zones.]**
This was a public announcement.
**[Player Zai Jiu Xun Ge, elimination count: 9, eliminated count: 2. You will receive the "Wandering Chef" identity card. You will be sent to a corner of the Dark Food Street in 3 minutes and 50 seconds.]**
**[Dark Food Street Operating Hours: 07:00—00:00]**
**["Wandering Chef" Exclusive Task: During the operating hours of the Dark Food Street, you need to find the hidden Bright Chef within the Dark Food Street, complete 5 food duels, and achieve victory.]**
**[Task Reward: Final sales of this Divine Game +5000◆]**
**[Tip: Initiating a food duel with a Dark Chef, regardless of success or failure, will result in your death.]**
**[Based on your performance in this round of the game, you will learn 3 rules related to the Dark Food Street.]**
**[Dark Food Street Rules (3/10)]**
**[1: Attacking a chef with higher culinary skills than yours will randomly grant you a debuff lasting half an hour.]**
**[2: Consuming dishes made from "Inferior Ingredients" will randomly cause you to lose one skill icon.]**
**[3: Killing "Low-Level Diners" will randomly grant you one of their skill icons and reveal a rule about the Dark Food Street that you do not know.]**
Yu Xunge felt as if she had been playing this game for an entire year.
She could guess why they had gone to the trouble of sending her and the other players back to the starting room; they were likely worried that they would deduce each other's identities based on the timing of other players' disappearances.
It was a bit disappointing, though—why wasn’t there a process to reselect skill icons?
Thinking of this, Yu Xunge instinctively glanced at her arm. The next moment, her pupils dilated—she only had 8 skill icons; she was missing one skill!!
Her heart raced as she quickly scanned all her skill icons, then let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the one she lost was **"Yangzhi Ganlu"**.
Was it Tingzhou Qiulu?
It had been very close to her at the time, and all the other players were watching her, but it was the only one that had pointed its antlers at her...
She had thought they couldn’t attack each other; if she had known, she would have struck back!
Yu Xunge gently brushed over the remaining 8 skill icons, feeling both lucky and anxious. Coupled with the rules of the Dark Food Street, the last shred of regret for not bringing **"Midnight Exile"** completely vanished.
With an inexplicable sense of joy, she opened the battlefield chat channel, only to find she had been kicked out of the “home” yet again.
**[Zelan·Feng Tang]: Zai Jiu Xun Ge is my daughter? Who said that? Not true, I’m not familiar with her.]**
**[Zelan·Song Gui]: She is; I can prove it.]**
**[Zelan·Feng Tang]: How can you prove it? Did I give birth to her?]**
After finally getting online, Song Gui was once again silenced by Feng Tang’s shamelessness.
Scrolling up, oh, it turned out they were talking about her turning into a white ship and playing with the top five on the ladder.
These players were amusing; instead of just saying “white ship,” they had to nervously refer to it as “that one.”
Thus, the conversation floating in the chat channel was quite strange.
“Zai Jiu Xun Ge turned into that and played with a few overlords.”
“Which one?”
“Just that one; is what I said not clear enough?”
“I know it’s that one; I just want to know which ‘that one’ she turned into!”
“Just the white one.”
“There are several white ones!”
This encrypted conversation was bizarre... Players who didn’t know the context really couldn’t understand.
**[Mai Mang·Xie Xie]: But I really believe she’s your daughter. When the top five were surrounding her, guess what she said?]**
**[Mai Mang·Xie Xie]: She said, ‘I’m actually a hidden Easter egg.’]**
**[Tingzhou·Jing E]: This way of living is indeed like someone who won’t survive tomorrow.]**
**[Zelan·Fei E]: This language system is indeed like someone who’s tired of living.]**
**[Zelan·Wu Ren]: Like.]**
**[Zelan·Feng Tang]: When she said that silly thing, was she using Zai Jiu language or oak owl language?]**
**[Mai Mang·Xie Xie]: Oh? It was oak owl language.]**
**[Zai Jiu·Xun Ge]: Because Zai Jiu language is still relatively niche; I was worried everyone wouldn’t understand.]**
**[Mai Mang·Xie Xie]: That’s too deliberate; your explanation is overly forced.]**
**[Zelan·Feng Tang]: Zai Jiu Xun Ge, were you the crazy berry that spoke oak owl language in the food street before?]**
Yu Xunge: “…”
Feng Tang, oh Feng Tang, I’m not saying you, but it’s no wonder Song Gui doesn’t like chatting in the battlefield chat channel! You’ve killed the vibe!
But of course, she couldn’t say that in the battlefield chat channel.
**[Zai Jiu·Xun Ge]: Ah, what crazy berry?]**
**[Zelan·Feng Tang]: Clean your neck and wait.]**
Yu Xunge felt like she had heard that line before. Had the little seahorse washed its neck in front of her just for Feng Tang’s words?
She silently closed the battlefield chat channel, pretending not to see.
**Chapter 578: Divine Game: Nonsense Restaurant 93**
While waiting for the game to start, Yu Xunge decided to adjust B8017913’s appearance again.
Under the latter’s guidance, she twisted the earrings in a certain order. B8017913 transformed back into a cube shape, and after a few more twists, the cube morphed into a platinum ring adorned with a circle of blue diamonds.
Yu Xunge slipped it onto her right index finger, while her left middle finger wore **"Breach of Oath."**
Tu Lan lay at the back of the room: “If only I could turn into jewelry without using skills; if not jewelry, then a doll would do.”
Yu Xunge reassured her, “After we get out, let’s look for similar skills in Zelan or other worlds.”
Tu Lan was also planning to return to Dragon Island to gather some resources: “After this game ends, are we still going to other worlds?”
Yu Xunge calculated what she needed to do after this game ended:
Build an alchemy workshop and engineering workshop using **"Old Blacksmith."**
Refine **"Spring Day Not Late,"** which removes bloodline shackles;
Practice alchemy using **"Behind the Scenes,"** while also leveling up to make up for the lost levels from the skill;
Finish the remaining seven classes on rabbit teeth;
Get some treasure chests and equipment at the Ten Thousand Races Colosseum;
Take Tu Lan to Zelan to get some attribute points;
Find Heifei; she must completely acquire **"Reversal Moment."**
Finally, check on Yu Xunhuan’s situation. If what she saw in the prophetic vision had already happened, she would have to put an end to him.
There was so much to do; just thinking about it filled her schedule.
Yu Xunge said, “Not going for now.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she landed at a street corner.
