This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 525 - : Divine Game: Chaotic Restaurant 45

As Rita was still thinking about how to respond, suddenly, three colorful gift boxes fell from above, right above the open-air restaurant. One landed in front of Rita, one in front of Marmang-Crab, and one in front of Octopus Bucket.

Rita: "?"

Marmang-Crab knew what they were, but was momentarily stunned. It quickly realized, "Where did you send that troublesome event gift pack? It's violated the rules three times."

Rita didn't mention that she had sent it to Restaurant 1. Instead, she answered, "I think the player from that restaurant hasn't sent it back?"

Even though players can't attack each other, Winter Sea Frenzied Shark probably won't let Rabbit 2 off easily.

Rabbit 2 didn't lick Sea Pony's feet, and had ignored several of Sea Pony's requests, so it had already violated two rules.

The dining time for Rabbit 2 was only 30 minutes, and it arrived just after Rabbit 1, so now, 30 minutes have passed since Rita served Rabbit 2. It hasn't finished its meal within the allotted time, violating Rule 7: No wasting food in Restaurant 233.

Three violations, and it's out of the game, packaged into a box.

Actually, the restaurant's rules aren't all that strict.

Marmang-Crab might want to eliminate the event gift packs, but compared to those, Octopus Bucket clearly cares more about the restaurant's earnings. It's after the ultimate game rewards. Whoever is stronger calls the shots.

Rabbit 3's gaze turns to a certain spot in the sky, and its expression shifts to something strange. It glances at Rita.

Rita, however, is already distracted by the falling gift boxes. Sea Pony has quickly opened one, and inside it is a rabbit's fur. Rita can't see the information, but Marmang-Crab looks very satisfied.

Marmang-Crab doesn't plan to keep the gift either. As long as it isn't for a special reason, it's best to convert resources into strength immediately.

Rita opens her gift box as well.

[■·A Rabbit's Tooth]: Unlock a new skill, or re-lock an already unlocked skill.

Rita feels a bit disappointed.

Even though she had been anxious earlier, knowing that skill icons could be forcibly taken away, she doesn't regret it.

Initially, she thought that in the world battleground, she couldn't steal attribute points, nor could she easily steal other players' equipment and items. But opening a restaurant meant she could steal currencies or strong players' secrets, which was great.

Who knew the game mechanics would give her such a huge shock and surprise?

Even with the opportunity to make a new choice right in front of her, she still wouldn't lock away [I Just Want to Improve So Badly].

There are so many gods—how could she possibly give up on them?

Moreover, some things have become clearer in her mind as she continues to reflect.

She's been thrown into a battlefield she shouldn't have entered, surrounded by powerful enemies. Her attack, defense, combat skills, and skill variety are all lacking compared to them...

Rather than dwelling on her shortcomings or obsessing over which skill she still needs, she realizes the key is to use her core skill effectively.

This is both her crisis and her greatest opportunity.

Even Pine Bloom is interested in her stealing skills... She suspects what Pine Bloom really wants is [I Could Just Steal It].

This realization only dawns on her after she sits down and thinks carefully.

Is Pine Bloom the type of person who, when killed in an instant, would panic and abandon their plan to quickly get revenge?

Even if the achievement of being killed by BS Rita shows up in the chat channel, Rita wouldn't step forward to claim it unless Pine Bloom speaks up.

Both of them are the types who don't like talking in the chat channel, but Pine Bloom happened to do it.

Pine Bloom could have waited before striking.

Ignoring the items for a moment, if Pine Bloom truly wanted [Midnight Exile], wouldn't the safest method have been to wait until Rita dies a few more times? Let other players take away her less important divine talents, allowing Pine Bloom to secure them without effort?

She's the fastest player capable of killing herself, and she's already ahead of all the other players eyeing her. Pine Bloom almost has Rita in her pocket.

But Pine Bloom decided to strike when it wasn't necessary.

Would a dignified warlord really be so impatient?

Perhaps it's because Pine Bloom realized that Rita had already repaid the life points with the clothing, so Pine Bloom wanted to act first to secure the prize? It's possible.

But Rita leans toward another theory: Pine Bloom doesn't want [Midnight Exile]; instead, Pine Bloom wants to steal [I Could Just Steal It]!

The rewards in Divine Game are so powerful. As long as she can reset the cooldown for this skill, she could use it to take away the divine talents she wants.

One or two [Midnight Exile] divine talents are nothing compared to her personally choosing to strip away a divine talent—one she considers the best in the world battleground.

However, these guesses could just be the result of her overthinking.

Pushing Pine Bloom out of her mind, Rita selects the skill she wants to unlock—[Ancient Curse].

She immediately curses herself.

[I curse that in this Divine Game, every existence that attempts to steal or deprive BS Rita of a skill icon will, after successfully stealing or depriving it, randomly lose one skill every hour of their remaining life. The curse will only lift once they return the stolen skill icon.]

She had originally planned to say, "randomly lose one divine talent skill every hour," but the curse wouldn't allow it. However, losing one skill every hour is more than enough.

And that's not all.

[I curse that in this Divine Game, the sixth player to kill BS Rita will lose their most frequently used skill in the past star-sea year.]

[I curse that in this Divine Game, the ninth player to kill BS Rita will lose their most frequently used skill in the past star-sea year.]

These two curses were intended to be random losses of divine talent skills, but she couldn't word it that way. Instead, she had to make a slight adjustment.

She didn't directly curse the tenth player who kills her or the cosmic wanderer. Such a curse effect would be more like a blind box curse. They wouldn't know how many times she had died, and anyone planning to kill her would have to think twice.

If she hadn't just severed the causal line with Winter Sea Frenzied Shark and freed up a few curse slots, she might not have had enough to use.

Fat Goose, Rick, and Hatred Thorns had already occupied three of her curse slots...

With a resounding clank, the three curses land. For a brief moment, the entire world battleground falls silent, and even the chat channel stops spamming messages.

Rabbit 3's laugh shatters the silence of Restaurant 233.

Sea Pony, clutching its head in pain, howls, "Ahhh! You're cheating! This is so unfair!"

Marmang-Crab is also furious. It slams its claws on the table and growls, "This is too much! Do you have any sense of honor as a strong player?!"

Rita, feeling refreshed, puts her hand down from the [Ancient Curse] skill icon and, hearing Marmang-Crab's words, playfully covers her ears, shaking her head and saying, "What are you talking about? I'm only level 7. I don't need to hear about honor! Really!"

Sea Pony is so frustrated it looks like it might cry, "…Kill her, Crab… Kill her! Waaah!"
