Chapter 451
Yu Xunge's heart raced violently for a moment, but soon it settled into calm.
Something was off. The "Wandering Chef" had to engage in food duels to gain rewards; why should a "VIP" simply receive a skill icon just for dining? Even if there was a chance to obtain it, the odds seemed too high and too easy.
Both identities that had been defeated yielded a reward of 5000◆ in revenue, which theoretically shouldn’t be the case.
Yu Xunge: "Can you mimic the game system's notification sound?"
B8017913 switched to a voice that perfectly imitated the notification from the Divine Game: "Sure, but I can't make my voice resonate in someone else's mind without locking onto them."
Yu Xunge's heart steadied. If the mechanical race couldn't do it, players might still be able to.
She made up her mind: unless she returned to the starting room, she would not step out!
Otherwise, how could she live up to the name of the skill "Survive to the End"?
35:30
The battlefield chat channel had already speculated her location based on her revenue data fluctuations, concluding that she must be in a certain restaurant. Cui He Kuangfeng was currently investigating, searching for players with similar revenue growth data.
35:50
For the first time, her health points fluctuated.
It dropped from 1% to 0.995%.
Yu Xunge's heart leaped. This might be the beginning.
[Sakura · Wulong]: I want to cry, Y125 found her!
[Winter Sea · Shark Cold]: Where?!
[Grain Spike · Crabby]: Where?!
[Zelan · Pine Blossom]: Where?!
[Ghost · Sangbei]: Where?!!
[Cui He · Kuangfeng]: Where?!!!!!
Yu Xunge: … Everyone seems really fired up.
[Sakura · Wulong]: Gather at the entrance of Restaurant 3535!!! Hurry!
Yu Xunge: … Why did it suddenly get so intense?!
35:51
A group of well-known players from the leaderboard, along with a mailbox-like bald little robot, surrounded a plate.
They took turns smashing the plate onto the ground, picking it up after each smash to pass it to the next player to smash…
Crash—“Hurry up!”
Crash—“What kind of skill is this?! Don’t you all have anti-magic skills?”
Crash—“I didn’t bring one; the cooldown is too long. What about Y125?”
Crash—“I can only bring two skills because I don’t abide by the game rules.”
Crash—“Is this really the right plate?”
Crash—“Aren’t we being a bit silly?”
Crash—“How many more do we have left? I didn’t bring a skill to check health bars.”
Crash—“This skill is so unfair!”
Crash—“Why don’t we just use our skills instead of smashing it like this?”
Crash—“Aren’t we just waiting for other players? Don’t you think smashing it feels more satisfying?”
…
“How long has Qihua been laughing at the screen?”
“Since Y125 rushed out of the food tent holding the plate and excitedly shouted, ‘I found her!’”
“I think it started when Y125 spent 1000◆ to buy the plate just to take it away, and that 1000◆ ended up counting towards Zai Jiu Xun Ge’s revenue.”
[Chapter 585: Settlement of the 35154th Divine Game]
It wasn’t until she was kicked out of the game and returned to Zai Jiu that Yu Xunge truly relaxed; her health was down to 0.095.
The first thing she did was check her backpack for the remaining Rabbit Tooth courses, and after confirming they were all still there, she let out a sigh of relief.
After finishing the "Aerial Combat" course in the white food tent, she had planned to head to the next food tent for more classes, but the blue food tent was too special. She worried that if she didn’t adjust her state in time after finishing the class, she might violate the rules.
Even though B8017913 said that the items from the kill event gift box wouldn’t disappear when the game ended, she still felt uneasy without seeing it with her own eyes.
At that moment, the real game notification finally rang in her ears.
[The 35154th Divine Game has ended]
[Player Zai Jiu Xun Ge ranked 845 in the 35154th Divine Game: Mischief Restaurant]
[Overall game score: 88 points]
[17 deities anonymously provided comments: Can┃Not bad┃You wasted 【Midnight Exile】┃You have a high compatibility with 【One-Person Party】┃You won’t always be this lucky┃You’re too conservative┃Sufficiently cautious, very good┃You missed too many opportunities!┃Too greedy…]
[Rewards: 4 pieces of Golden Tree Dry Leaves, 2 Golden Tree Dry Branches]
[Reward: 1 Abyss Treasure Chest]
[Zai Jiu’s human race can gain 0.27% evolution]
Her ranking was lower than in the kart racing game, yet her overall score was 15 points higher.
The items related to the Golden Tree were also better than last time.
She reflected on her performance in both games and deduced that the final ranking must account for a significant portion, but it wasn’t everything; the deities’ comments and specific game performance also influenced the final score and rewards.
No matter how well she played in kart racing, it couldn’t compare to this game. The former had a higher ranking, but the Mischief Restaurant score and rewards were better.
Was it a 50-50 split? Or perhaps 60-40 or 40-60?
Besides that, there were the mixed reviews from the deities.
Yu Xunge had a very good attitude about it.
Not to mention that many comments contradicted each other, making it impossible to determine right from wrong; they merely represented different deities' perspectives.
For her, being noticed was good; surely the deities wouldn’t give comments to players they completely looked down upon.
The familiar Zai Jiu announcement rang out.
[Zai Jiu Announcement: War and chaos have opened the curtain on a legend; only blood and resilience can defend the honor of Zai Jiu.]
[Zai Jiu Xun Ge and her contract partners, Ice Dragon Tulun and B8017913, with a low-key combat style and a high-profile gaming approach, defended the dignity of Zai Jiu and themselves in the perilous ■■■■■.]
[She faced the disparity in strength with indifference, remaining calm in the face of strong enemies’ encirclement.]
[When the name of Zai Jiu Xun Ge resounded throughout ■■■■■, the name of Zai Jiu was no longer unknown.]
[People of Zai Jiu, if anyone shares the courage of Zai Jiu Xun Ge, having lost divine-given skills, attribute points, and everything you currently possess, and is willing to fight for Zai Jiu, I will respond to your call.]
[Player Zai Jiu Xun Ge chooses the Zai Jiu star race—Human, accepting her favor; the human race will gain a small amount of life level evolution.]
[Reward: Player Zai Jiu Xun Ge Honor Points +80000]
“Low-key combat style, high-profile gaming approach”…
Yes, it’s true—be humble in life, but ambitious in work.
“She faced the disparity in strength with indifference”…
Uh, in Candy Crush, most of the time, you can just match and clear; strength is important, but not crucial. Zai Jiu was right; she did face challenges while playing Candy Crush.
“She remained calm in the face of strong enemies’ encirclement”…
Well, after turning into a white ship and a plate, she was always locked in a small dark room. How could she not remain calm?
Yu Xunge turned to the mini Tulun, who had just popped out of the pet space and was eagerly looking for snacks, and said, “Zai Jiu can go take the civil service exam now.”
This ability to turn black into white would make anyone who didn’t know think she was quite impressive on the world battlefield.
Tulun replied, “I feel like it’s buttering you up.”
B8017913, now back in cube form and floating in the air, recorded all this nonsense: “I’m learning.”
What truly concerned Yu Xunge was that line, “If anyone shares the courage of Zai Jiu Xun Ge and is willing to fight for Zai Jiu, I will respond to your call.” She furrowed her brow and repeated it, then asked B8017913, “Will the planet actively respond to a player’s call? Isn’t going to the world battlefield supposed to require the world’s…”
Before she could finish her sentence, a childish voice echoed in her mind.
【I was just saying that; I don’t like them saying they can go too.】
Yu Xunge: …
B8017913, having only heard half of it, pressed for more: “What?”
Yu Xunge smiled: “It’s nothing.”
She called out “Zai Jiu” a few more times in her mind, but received no response, so she didn’t waste her effort anymore.
Next came the 0.27% evolution.
[Player’s highest base attribute +1.1%]
[Player’s all advanced attributes +1.1%]
[Human lifespan limit +12 years]
[All players can allocate attribute points +12]
[Player Zai Jiu Xun Ge received Zai Jiu’s blessing; all evolution rewards are doubled.]
Yu Xunge thought to herself, Zai Jiu used to call her “Zai Jiu Xun Ge” and “Yu Xunge” interchangeably, but now it was just “Zai Jiu Xun Ge”…
She opened the world chat channel and scrolled for a while, noticing that players were calling her that too.
Some were expressing gratitude, some were asking what the frame frame frame was, and others were inquiring why she had lost a level.
After watching for a bit, Yu Xunge found it boring and closed it, starting to calculate the gains from this game.
The highlight was the SSS-level skills!
Along with the two SSS-level skills she had comprehended herself, she had a total of 44 SSS-level skills. After deducting the two lost from her seventh and eighth deaths, she still had 42 left!
Most importantly, she had brought out the most powerful and practical skills.
