This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 533 - : Divine Game: Chaotic Restaurant 53

Rita: "If you're going to speak, say more."

B80234615: "Alright, to be precise, it's one-third luck, and two-thirds hard work."

Rita couldn't help but hear a melody in her mind: "...Please, stop. I'm about to sing it out."

She used a soft cloth from the kitchen to dry her hair halfway and then started preparing the food for the duel. She casually opened the battleground chat channel.

As before, her new rare achievement was pinned at the top, and when she clicked on it, she caught it just as the countdown hit its last few seconds.

[Congratulations to player BS Rita for completing the rare achievement: Did you think event gift packs were just for fools?] (00:00:08)

To her surprise, she could still see herself in the conversation.

[Tingo·JE]: "Why isn't she speaking? Is she picking up bad habits from Pine Bloom?"

[Lania Kaia·Maple Syrup]: "No way, she's my kid."

[Marmang·Crab]: "She's crying."

[Lania Kaia·Maple Syrup]: "Huh? Is it that much pressure after using her ultimate?"

[Marmang·Crab]: "Right? Just watching makes me feel the pressure."

[Tingo·Autumn Deer]: "I told you, that skill was stolen by her. Winter Sea Frenzied Shark is still smashing plates! That's living proof!"

[Cup Talk·Pasture]: "Is she a thief like you? Or a mage? From that punch, doesn't seem like a melee type."

[Cup Talk·Ash]: "Can't really tell. You know how TingoAutumn Deer talks, just take it with a grain of salt. She clearly used an event gift pack to steal Winter Sea Frenzied Shark's skill."

[Sakura·Oolong]: "So, how do we drive so many event gift packs crazy? This achievement seems pretty good."

[Marmang·Crab]: "I've said everything, tricked the event gift pack into our restaurant, got Sea Pony to lick its feet, threw in some intense trash talk, and finally pissed it off into making a deal. And that's how it ended."

[Potted Plant·Tea Snail]: "I don't believe this."

[Black Spring·Grimpeak]: "I'll give it a try."

[Tingo·Autumn Deer]: "Is anyone even listening to me?! BS Rita stole my skill! Winter Sea Frenzied Shark, you agree, right? You get it, right?"

[Verdant Crane·Berry Scent]: "Is BS the only player in this world?"

[Marmang·Crab]: "Oh my god, Verdant Crane is connected to the network too?"

[Ghost·Sang Cup]: "Seems like it. Not sure how long this world will last."

[Tingo·JE]: "Wait, Ghost is also online?!"

[Oddity·Amber Mark]: "8th-tier combat power, how long has she been in the battleground?"

[Tingo·JE]: "Didn't 27 worlds connect today?"

[Lania Kaia·Fat Goose]: "I've been counting, it's 29."

[Lania Kaia·Fat Goose]: "So this is really the battleground world! I always thought I was blocked!"

[Marmang·Crab]: "So this is really the battleground world! I always thought I was blocked!"

[Tingo·JE]: "So this is really the battleground world! I always thought I was blocked!"

Rita scrolled up a bit. Aside from the new arrivals—Oddity, Ghost, and Verdant Crane—there were 26 other worlds she had never seen before in the chat...

Though Rita didn't talk much in the battleground chat, she occasionally opened it to check. She had never seen so many worlds before.

The worlds that liked to chat the most were [Tingo], [Nuclear Flash], [Marmang], [Lania Kaia], [Black Spring], while [Winter Sea], [Blazing Flame], [Ridge Tea], and [Potted Plant] occasionally joined the conversation.

Whether discussing gossip, exchanging game rules, or just trash-talking, the same few worlds came and went. Occasionally, other worlds would flicker by, but altogether, there weren't even 10 worlds.

But now, suddenly, 29 worlds of players had popped up.

She finally got a real sense of what the battleground world was like, with nearly a thousand worlds participating.

Scrolling up thousands of messages, she found the discussion about her being surrounded by event gift packs earlier.

It was so lively.

She had always thought the battleground chat was already noisy enough, but now she realized what real commotion looked like.

Players from dozens of worlds were chatting.

Some were talking about her, some about the event gift packs, some about how other players had also unleashed their ultimates like this, and others about achievements, branching off into various topics.

The usual loudmouths—Marmang-Crab, Lania Kaia, Fat Goose—were all buried in the chat logs.

It felt like a game that was about to shut down suddenly experiencing a revival.

She shared this situation with B80234615: "Is this necessary? There are only two games per month here, isn't this just like the usual commotion?"

B80234615: "I'm not entirely sure, but the calculations I did show that this is indeed a battle that can ignite their battle spirit."

B80234615: "And your position in the battle just happens to be at the entrance of the food street."

Rita: "Even though I'm only 8th-tier, this level of battle is enough to get them, these veterans, fired up?"

B80234615: "Why not? Those gods also have 8th-tier combat power. Maybe you reminded them of their lost youth."

Rita: "...If you stop with the cheesy lines, I'd like you a lot more."

After saying this, she closed the battleground chat and quickly returned to preparing the food for the duel.

B80234615 made a crackling sound, as if it wanted to ask something but was too shy to say it.

The barrier at the restaurant door disappeared, and Rita waited a moment. After confirming no rabbits had entered to cause trouble, she sat cross-legged in the corner of the restaurant with a [Chef] tag above her head, resting.

She was still holding a bowl of food she had ordered for herself, designed to relieve fatigue and restore energy.

The menu was something she wrote on the spot after becoming a chef. A corner of clothing could be exchanged for a bowl of fried rice, allowing her to fulfill the mandatory consumption rule when entering a restaurant.

Her hoodie was already so torn it barely resembled anything, more like a rag. She tugged on it, and it came apart easily, while her pants had gone from cropped to shorts. She dared not make any big movements.

Now, she was planning to open the boxes. Even though B80234615 said the event gift packs' drops would last throughout the entire Divine Game, Rita didn't intend to keep them.

She hesitated for a moment whether to sell a few gift boxes to Marmang-Crab in exchange for skill icons. At least that would give her a guaranteed outcome. But in the end, she decided to open them all herself.

She couldn't stand the pain of receiving the gift packs only to watch others open them.

Even if the drops weren't great, she'd accept it!

Marmang-Crab and Sea Pony didn't come over. The former was busy chatting, while the latter knew that only the player opening the boxes could see the specific information.

Rita took a bite of her food and then looked at the two rabbit hairs she had stolen.

[■■·One Rabbit Hair] (A gift from the gods): Using this will upgrade your battleground chat channel, allowing you to chat even when you're not in Divine Game.

Ah, what a good item! When she discovered Lidian could watch the battleground chat outside the game, Rita had wanted this feature. She immediately used the rabbit hair.

[■·One Rabbit Hair] (A gift from the gods): Using this will randomly teleport you to a location in the world battleground.

Rita placed the second rabbit hair in the last slot of her bag, ensuring that she could use it at any moment.

Now, for the main event—those 30 gift boxes.

The first gift box she opened made her realize something was off.

The box rested on her lap, one hand pressing on it, while her other hand held the bowl, and she silently turned to glance behind her.

Inside Restaurant 232, two rabbit heads were pressed up against the transparent barrier between the two restaurants, staring at her.
