This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 536 - : Divine Game: Chaotic Restaurant 56

— "You're being sculpted."

Rita liked the way Sea Pony phrased it.

She glanced at the time; it was already past 4 PM, and there were less than 3 hours left until closing time.

Although she didn't know why no rabbit guests had come to bother her, her sense of urgency hadn't diminished in the slightest.

At this moment, she still had the [Close Combat (Bow)], [Long Range (Bow)], and [Alchemy] courses remaining.

Considering that the best weapon B80234615 could get right now was the firearm [Dusk and Night], and she didn't have a bow with better attributes than [Dusk and Night], she decided to take the alchemy class first to ease the fatigue from the several combat courses she had completed.

Sea Pony asked, "Are you going to keep going?"

Rita paused and quickly asked, "Why? Are there any side effects from taking too many lessons in a row?"

Sea Pony answered seriously, "Of course. I wasn't like this before. A lot of my good qualities disappeared because one year, Crab forced me to take 5 lessons in one day."

Rita: "..."

Marmang-Crab, who was sitting by the door chatting, shouted without turning around, "You're full of crap! You didn't even have any of that stuff when I met you!"

Sea Pony flew over and started arguing with Marmang-Crab. Rita glanced over and noticed that Octopus Bucket was holding up the sign, and it seemed different from before.

Most importantly, it looked like her name was on it?

She couldn't see the whole thing from her angle, so she couldn't help but fly over to check it out.

When Octopus Bucket saw her, its tentacle froze, and the sign wobbled and stopped moving.

[233 Restaurant, spend 200◆, BS Rita won't reply to insults, spend 500◆, BS Rita will feed you personally]

Rita: ?

She almost wanted to say something, but after a moment's thought, if the revenue could really be this high, she'd be in!

She turned to Octopus Bucket and said, "Spend 1000◆, and I'll let the event gift pack sit on my lap and eat."

Octopus Bucket: "…"

It silently took down the sign and added that line.

Rita went back to the kitchen to prepare for the next class. As she passed by the middle of the restaurant, the large rabbit from restaurant 232 asked, "Aren't you mad?"

Rita replied, "Not mad. Want to come? If you come, I'll give you a discount. If you spend 800◆, I'll hold you and feed you."

Large Rabbit: "…"

It turned to the smaller rabbit beside it and said, "What's going on? Listening to her talk like that, I'm kinda mad but also feel like she's being extra special with me."

Small Rabbit: "That just means you're really sick."

Rita just sat down between the two restaurants, in front of the two rabbits, and took out the rabbit tooth representing the alchemy course. She clicked to use it.

To her surprise, the teacher was Lucia.

She didn't know Lucia personally, but the teaching quality was as high as ever. However, this made her realize more and more how exceptional the white bear teacher was.

Lucia taught alchemy theory, and even when she used magic potion brewing or gemstone crafting to teach, the recipes she used and taught were already widely known.

Rita had tried to ask about the potion recipes like [Little Fish Kingdom King] and [Second-Rate Fool] from Lucia, but Lucia skillfully changed the topic.

This showed that while these teachers taught with great care, they didn't share their personal inventions.

But the white bear teacher?

Although the recipes weren't as valuable or rigorous as potion formulas, the dishes the white bear taught her all had incredibly powerful effects.

Furthermore, after the white bear learned that she was trying to combine potions and cooking, the course content became much broader, covering everything from potions, gemstone crafting, jewelry making, engineering, machinery, poisons, brewing, spices, totems, rituals, and chants, and more...

It felt like the white bear didn't care about her being overwhelmed or confused. The teacher just said whatever came to mind.

At times, Rita felt as though the white bear was guiding her through the entire universe.

This made her feel small, just like when she first saw the comparison of the sizes of different planets and realized that Blue Star was just a speck of dust in the universe.

She felt like a speck of dust.

On the last day of the alchemy course, just before class ended, Lucia said goodbye to her, saying, "Although I've only taught you for a short time, I'm proud of you."

Rita: "…"

Was that your automatic reply or your signature?

It made her think again about the white bear.

On the last day of the cooking course, the white bear also said goodbye to her.

It asked Rita, "Do you remember what the art of cooking is?"

Rita immediately replied without thinking, "The ingredients set the lower limit of the dish, the chef sets the upper limit."

The tone was strange. She clearly remembered the first day of cooking class, when the white bear had scolded her with this exact phrase.

The white bear smiled, clearly remembering it too.

"Yes, just like how the soul's fire determines the lower limit of a being."

"What determines a being's upper limit?"

"A being has no upper limit, BS Rita."

Rita opened her eyes, watching the rabbit tooth dissolve into mist at her fingertips.

None of the other teachers had called her name, even though Lucia looked at her with a strange gaze.

Only the white bear… only the white bear had called her name in the end.

She thought for a long while, then turned to look at the two rabbits squatting nearby, staring at her, and asked, "You two…"

She paused. Maybe asking would expose that she knew they were unusual.

So who exactly were they? Were they gods? Was it Rabbit 1? Or was she just overthinking it?

...

Far away in the divine temple.

"Spring Deity was right. Deceitful Bloom really likes that player. They even went to personally give that player a lesson!"

"That's because the cooking course she drew was my gift drop."

"Come off it. This course, who doesn't just temporarily capture the consciousness of a being from the universe and have them teach? There's no way she actually went herself!"

"...Within the rules, I didn't teach her anything out of bounds."

"You'd better..."

"Teaching her personally already crossed the line."

"Which player did Deceitful Bloom like last time?"

"Lania Kaia Maple Syrup."

"Oh, I remember her. But Lania Kaia Maple Syrup and BS Rita aren't at all the same. Deceitful Bloom changed her taste, huh?"

"Who knows? But it's finally getting lively again..."

"Yeah, before everyone was dead silent. Now they're all much livelier."

"I still think this mechanism is unreasonable. Why can only they open up? Why can't we?"

"Because our descent is through the event gift pack, not a noob-slaying gift pack."

"Fine, but I still want to play more. It's rare this time is so fun… Ah, I should've never helped Deceitful Bloom. The game just started and I'm already out!"

"Hey? Celestia went to find her!"
