Chapter 544 Gods' Game: The Mischievous Restaurant 59
But Yu Xunge felt that it was completely unnecessary for them. These high-level players were not lacking in S-level and SS-level skills, and the loss of rankings below 8000 was not unacceptable.
Sacrificing your final ranking in this game of gods is better than facing the possibility of losing your skill icon.
If the 12 rounds of elimination are allocated well, the risks and losses can be minimized.
Unlike her, no matter what place she gets, it's always dangerous for her.
Just as I was thinking that, I heard a new system notification.
[New Special Penalty: For players in the event gift pack, Abyss-level and above players, and Cosmic Wanderers, if their ranking in their respective positions is below 8000 at the time of each ruling, their kill count will increase by 1.]
The game's patches have really made the Octopus Bucket and Wheat Crab look really worn out.
Looking around, I saw that the players in the two restaurants next door were in similar poses.
They either squat on the ground with their heads in their hands, lean against the wall and look up at the sky, or lie flat on the ground. Those with hair grab their hair, those with fur grab their fur, and those without hair or fur grab their heads.
Regardless of whether or not there's the reward of changing skill icons, everyone is suffering from this game mechanic.
Even Rabbit No. 4 looked frustrated and conflicted.
Yu Xunge frowned and pondered for a long time. Finally, she took out the rabbit hair that could copy any item and used it to copy the message "I want to improve so much". Then she locked the copied message again.
She couldn't bear the cost of losing the skill "I want to improve too much," which was her source of confidence in facing divine punishment. Without this skill, her strength would drop significantly in every game with the gods, regardless of whether she won or lost, due to violating the game rules.
The skill that increases attribute points in the 【God of Cookery】 talent is nowhere near as good as this skill.
Of course, if she gives the word, she can have Dinghai collect various skill crystals to increase her attributes, but that would mean she would become dependent on Dinghai... and then she would probably have to give up her benefits to Dinghai.
But she couldn't give up using this skill.
Whether it's the event packs still in the game, the cosmic diners, or the once-in-a-lifetime skill icon design—although she hasn't yet used her thieving skills to steal skill icons from players, the fact that skills have become physical objects shows that it's theoretically feasible.
Faced with such abundant opportunities to commit crimes, she simply couldn't suppress her greed.
This game of gods was fraught with danger; it was the most difficult game of gods she had ever played, but it was also the game of gods that finally allowed "I really want to improve" to realize its true value.
The best option would naturally be to use the duplicated rabbit fur to keep one "I really want to improve" as a backup, and leave the other outside as a skill icon.
Even if she doesn't lose the skill icon in the end, having two "I really want to improve" icons isn't a loss. If someone offers a high price in the future, she might be able to trade them away—although she feels she probably wouldn't be willing to part with them.
Only then did she have the mind to care about Rabbit Number 4. She asked curiously, "Are your penalties for killing people also very severe?"
Rabbit #4 shook its head and then nodded: "Pretty much."
It seems that this is something that would cause Him heartache.
Yu Xunge then asked, "Other event gift packs disappear after being killed. Does having a rank mean you can play forever?"
When this was mentioned, Rabbit #4 clenched his fists angrily: "No way! If I get killed, other colleagues will take my place in the game!"
B8017913 was right; as long as it's fun, the gods will find a way to cut in line.
Thinking of this, she turned to look at restaurant number 232. The two rabbits were nowhere to be seen. She didn't know if they had left immediately after hearing the rules of the game, or if they had been expelled from the restaurant because of their current unregistered status.
But one thing is certain: the previous factions and identities have been redefined.
Previously, this place had god-like players, god-like demons, and cosmic wanderers. But after the [Cooking Adventure] started, there are only three identities: official employees, unregistered individuals, and cosmic diners. I just don't know what a cosmic diner is...
Yu Xunge: "Do you know what a 'cosmic diner' is?"
B8017913: "I have a guess that you wouldn't want to know."
B8017913's mention of it made Yu Xunge vaguely guess what was going on.
Yu Xunge: "Could they be a machine race?!"
B8017913: "I can't think of any other possibility."
Yu Xunge thought of Y...Y something else, who lost his antenna because of her?
She had attended 18 years of classes, but she couldn't quite remember them all at once.
Looking down at Rabbit Number 4, who was painfully pulling at its own fur, Yu Xunge asked, "...Do you know how many gods and demons there are in total?"
The previous rabbit rain was so spectacular, there were at least several hundred of them.
B8017913: "I don't know. There are only a few top-tier celebrities. I'm not too familiar with those below the third tier."
Yu Xunge: "..." Can this occupational hazard be contagious? Why do you talk in such a pink and girly way?
As they were talking, a countdown clock rang out in the air outside.
As the bells rang, the restaurant's layout changed, and the interior space began to expand. A dining area of 200 square meters appeared between the kitchen and the cashier, with ten sets of tables and chairs of different materials and styles.
The night sky outside was also visibly brightening, as if switching between slides in a PowerPoint presentation or as if the night sky itself was a stack of photos being switched one by one by an invisible hand.
As the last bell rang, the sky had become completely bright, and a luminous object shaped like a soup spoon hung in the air—perhaps the sun of this world.
At the same time, all players heard another notification.
[New Surprise Egg Lucky Employee Key Information: Players who obtained the Gods Game player qualification before Star Sea 6797 and participated in the Gods Game less than 15 times in Star Sea 6797 will have their chance of being hit by the Surprise Egg increased by 50%, and once hit, there is a 20% chance of randomly losing one of their God-given talent skills.]
This patch just won't end!
After complaining, Yu Xunge almost immediately realized the subtlety of the game's number of attempts setting.
This involves a rule of the world battlefield. Take Yu Xunge for example. Her God Game rule is that if she does not participate in the God Game within 60 days, she will permanently lose her God Game player qualification.
In other words, she wants to retain her God's Game player status and must participate in the game once every two months.
The time flow in the game differs from that in the World Battlefield. The time in the World Battlefield is Stardust Time, which has 16 months in a year and 21 days in each month.
Yu Xunge had been observing this for a long time. She noticed that the time she came in to play the game was always the 1st, 8th, and 15th.
In other words, the game takes place every 15 days, which translates to a God Game every 7 Star Sea Days in the world battlefield.
Over a Starry Year, there will be a total of 48 games on the World Battlefield. Players who play less than 15 games in a whole year are almost certainly just coasting through, trying to keep their game qualification by playing the fewest games possible and staying within the time limit.
This rule is clearly intended to punish players who engage in negative gameplay.
Thinking back to the battlefield chat channel that had become lively again because of her, she vaguely felt that this change was somewhat related to her, but she felt that this idea was too narcissistic, so she quickly put it out of her mind and was even too embarrassed to tell B8017913.
B8017913: "This rule is most likely related to you."
Yu Xunge: "Huh? Really? Hahaha, you think so too?! Cough, I mean... I've vaguely heard that's the case too."
B8017913: "..."
