This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 527 - : Divine Game: Chaotic Restaurant 47
Sea Pony, ever the troublemaker, adds fuel to the fire. "Hey, you could just stew my foot into a soup. This is actually BS Rita's idea."
Rita doesn't stop it. If Rabbit 1 were here, maybe this would be the solution to Rule 1, but Rabbit 3? She doesn't think the latter would be willing.
Sure, in reality, it's just a bowl of seafood soup, but in this situation, the meaning and nature of the soup are completely different.
Drinking that soup would be completing Rule 1, and isn't that just... licking feet?
No matter who you are, even if the King of Heaven himself came down, that's still licking feet!!
If Rabbit 3 drinks it, it's essentially bowing down to BS Rita. Neither Rita nor Sea Pony would let it go.
Moreover, Rita is certain that other gods are watching them right now.
Rita continues to leisurely pick ingredients, not in a hurry at all. She even says, "You're the guest, if you want to drink it, I can prepare it for you. You don't need to do it yourself."
Rabbit 3 doesn't touch the dish that Rita prepared for it. It remains silent for a long time before speaking up. "Let's make a deal."
This again? Rita replies, "Go on, tell me the deal."
Rabbit 3: "You complete the dish for the Shokugeki within 30 minutes."
Complete the dish within 30 minutes?
Rabbit 3 clearly doesn't want to lose to her. If it loses in the Shokugeki, it would accumulate another violation and still be killed. So, is this a strategy to have her lose the competition quickly?
By doing so, Rabbit 3 could leave before the 30-minute dining time ends and officially become a restaurant employee. Even if Rita holds out until the last minute to serve her dish, Rabbit 3 wouldn't be violating the rule about wasting food.
In other words... the cost of this deal is that Rita must leave Restaurant 233.
Rita responds, "And what's the price for your dignity? You can speak in English."
Rabbit 3 takes a deep breath, its tone filled with anger and defiance, but the price it offers makes Rita's heart race: "One chance to modify skill text or data."
Perhaps due to its pride, Rabbit 3 refuses to speak in the Sky-Crab language and still uses the Sky-Crab language for the price.
Rita asks, "How do you modify percentage data? What's the limit on the upper and lower bounds?"
Rabbit 3: "If you want to reduce percentage data, I can shrink it to one-tenth of its previous value. If you want to increase it, I can double it."
Rita shakes her head. "Your dignity is too cheap. Do you look down on yourself so much? I'm so disappointed in you."
Sea Pony gasps in surprise. "You're giving it so much face just to haggle?!"
Marmang-Crab chimes in, "Why don't you just lick Sea Pony's foot? Foot-licking is really cheap here!"
Sea Pony quickly snaps her feet back into shape. "Do you want them? I'm selling cheap!"
The players in both neighboring restaurants who understand Sky-Crab language are eating lemons, all asking their rabbit customers if they have any trading offers.
The rabbit customers from both restaurants are busy watching the show.
The rabbit from Restaurant 232 calls out, "Hey, just drink the soup. It's just a bowl of soup, right?"
The rabbit from Restaurant 234 joins in, "Exactly! We promise we won't tell them."
Rabbit 3 is so furious that it's about to explode, ignoring the chaos around it. "Stop putting value on it. This price is already quite fair."
Rita responds, "You know the danger I face if I leave the restaurant. I could die dozens of times before the restaurant closes. Your offer isn't enough."
Rabbit 3: "…What do you want?"
Rita: "I want the percentage data reduced, divided by 100."
Rabbit 3 frowns, staring at Rita for two seconds before shouting, "You're dreaming!"
Rita: "…"
Rita thinks, Is this bastard checking my skills?!
B80234615 responds in Rita's mind: "It's obvious. Not only did it check, but it's also stunned by your audacity."
Rita grips her knife and starts chopping ingredients. "Well, hurry up then. Either go quickly reincarnate, or get to foot-licking!"
Rabbit 3 grinds its teeth. It doesn't even want to open the godly chat channel to check the content anymore. It has made up its mind to quit the game soon.
Rita continues, "You want me to leave the safe zone and face that kind of danger, not to mention constantly violating the game's rules and dealing with divine punishment? And yet, you offer such a low price. Damn, stingy?… Stingy, tsk, tsk, tsk."
"Stingy, what does that even mean? Oh, it's when someone, faced with hardships and obstacles, needs to be resolute, have backbone, be tough, and take risks."
"Ah, so it means that being 'stingy' can actually be about having 'backbone' too? From now on, when anyone asks me why I'm so cheap, I'll just tell them, 'Because I have backbone!'"
Rabbit 3 clenches its fists, its fluffy body trembling in rage. "…"
The rabbit from Restaurant 232, biting a meat chop, mutters, "Oh my god, don't let it get to you."
The rabbit from Restaurant 234, putting down its spoon, says, "Maybe just let it kill you. At least we'll go out with a bang. Don't let her win! This is infuriating!"
Sea Pony agrees, "Exactly!"
Rabbit 3 slams the table. "Divided by 15. That's my limit!"
Rita slams the table even harder, excitedly exclaiming, "Deal! The boss is generous!"
Rabbit 3: "…"
The rabbit from Restaurant 232 says, "The boss is stunned!"
The rabbit from Restaurant 234 chimes in, "The boss is stunned!"
Rabbit 3 glares at Rita with fury, pulls out a single rabbit fur after searching its body for a while, brushes it off and blows on it before handing it to Rita.
Rita takes it.
[■■■·A Rabbit's Fur] (A divine gift): Allows modification of a percentage data in a skill, reducing it to 1/50 of its previous value (Uses: 1).
Without hesitation, Rita uses it on... not on a shop sale... but on [Mysterious Power]!
She's afraid that Rabbit 3 might calm down and regret it later.
[Mysterious Power] SSS rank: Can be used when your health is below 5%. After using, your health is locked at 1% for 24 hours. During this time, you cannot heal, and all beings can only deal one hit to you. The second attack's damage will be nullified, and the damage from that hit will ignore both enemy and ally properties, directly deducting 0.004% of your health. Each use consumes 20% mana; cooldown time is 7 natural days.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
This means that in the future, to kill her using this skill, players will need to deal 250 hits.
And right now, with only 0.8% health left, she would need 200 different targets to attack her before she dies.
At the same time, an announcement rings out in the world battleground:
[BS Rita's previous three curses have all been lifted, and [Ancient Curse] is now disabled for the remainder of this Divine Game.]
