This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 517 - 516: Divine Game: Chaotic Restaurant 37

"Are you interested in changing masters? Want to come with me?"

Rita couldn't help but remark, "That's a pretty heavy taste."

Marmang-Crab leaned against the cooking station, unfazed, and followed Rita's words with a comment, "Who's to say otherwise?"

Sea Pony, however, ignored the rabbit and jumped onto the cooking station to start a quarrel with Rita and Marmang-Crab.

Rita glanced at the rabbit's expression, which was neither happy nor sad, as if it wasn't offended by Sea Pony's remarks.

This surprised Rita. She had assumed that gods, being so high and mighty, would never tolerate such disregard or offense.

But thinking it through, it made sense. Gods with sensitive or prideful personalities probably wouldn't bother entering the game world in the form of an event loot box.

At that moment, the second rabbit customer entered the kitchen, followed by Octopus Bucket, who handed the menu to Rita.

The second rabbit wasn't as large as the first one. When on all fours, it was about the size of an adult Corgi. It glanced at the players present before hopping over to speak with the first rabbit.

The language they were using was something Rita couldn't understand, and neither could B80234615. Looking at her teammates' expressions, it was clear the language was specifically chosen so none of the players in the area would understand.

This was truly an encrypted private conversation!

The dishes Rita had prepared didn't require long cooking times. The two rabbits received their dishes in less than half an hour.

The first rabbit had brought a player with low combat power—if the player had been stronger, they probably wouldn't have ended up like this. Using a little potion material, Rita managed to scrape together a one-star delicacy.

As for the second rabbit, it ordered from the menu, and since Rita had written the menu, she was confident she could make the dishes.

Thanks to TingoJE, Rita was able to create dishes that were mostly related to meat textures and flavors similar to that of the Wind Whale.

After serving the one-star delicacies, Rita went over to Octopus Bucket and Marmang-Crab to tally up the revenue.

Earlier, Rita had been worried about the business revenue after leaving Pine Bloom's team. However, after teaming up with Octopus Bucket, she realized that the revenue listed under her name on the leaderboard hadn't changed.

This meant that even if the money earned from the restaurant didn't end up in her hands, as long as she had a position and participated in running the restaurant, the earnings would still count toward her score.

Moreover, the previous restaurant's Mischief Score hadn't been reset either.

The dishes ordered by the first and second rabbits had both earned her skills and currency. There were five skills, all S-rank, but they had to be assessed individually.

Rita didn't speak first. She took the "Match-3" skill icon and placed it on the far left of her skill row. As soon as it touched, the icon automatically stamped onto her forearm.

Once the skill icon was in place, she started using "I Just Want to Improve So Badly" alternately on the first and second rabbits.

She hadn't planned on using this skill on Marmang-Crab or Octopus Bucket. When Rule Five was modified, they had tried to add a rule that "employee skills cannot be stolen or taken," but the scroll rejected it.

Clearly, one rule couldn't cover everything.

The real focus of the rule change had been on the phrase "every player entering the 233rd restaurant must have their unlocked skills change at least once."

Was she not prepared for herself?

It was possible. When she first entered the battlefield, she hadn't brought "I Just Want to Improve So Badly" with her. After discovering the Omen skill, she hadn't unlocked it, and since she couldn't check unlocked skills in the world battlefield, she figured there weren't many players who knew she had the stealing skill.

But she suspected that her teammates had special anti-theft measures.

She had never successfully stolen from Octopus Bucket, and since Marmang-Crab's shell had been shimmering like a holographic card since the rule was established, she gave up on trying to steal from them. Besides, now that they were officially a team, she didn't want to risk exposing her skills and ruining the relationship.

Fortunately, now there was a much better target.

Who could be wealthier than a god?

Moreover, this was an unprecedented opportunity. With the skills transformed into icons, like items or tools, it was like "I Just Want to Improve So Badly" was officially categorized as one of the skills.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for sudden wealth! Even if it angered the gods, she was ready to take the risk.

As for whether the gods had anti-theft measures, she had to test it out.

Since the "Fourfold Spring" healing skill required combat to trigger, she dug out the clothes Pine Bloom had given her and put them back on.

Now this was truly a no-risk venture—starting from scratch!

As for the life points she owed, if her assumption about the repayment method was correct, she would repay them later without issue. On the other hand, if her assumption was wrong... well, no harm, she had enough life points owed to die ten times over anyway.

From the moment she started working, the first rabbit had been glaring at her, while the second rabbit stiffened but didn't react too strongly.

At that moment, Marmang-Crab broke the silence. He pointed at the five skill icons with their backs facing up and asked Octopus Bucket, "How do we divide these?"

Sea Pony: "Big Brother Octopus Bucket is the strongest, so he should get one."

One skill icon was placed in front of Octopus Bucket.

Sea Pony: "I'm the smallest, I should get one."

It took one for Sea Pony.

Sea Pony continued, "BS Rita is the chef, she should get one."

One skill icon was allocated to Rita.

Sea Pony: "I'm the cutest, so I get one."

Marmang-Crab: "...Do you know how many beatings I took outside because of you? I was originally going for a quick attack route, but because of you, I've turned into a tank."

Sea Pony ignored him: "Marmang-Crab has the thickest skin, he gets one."

The five skill icons were quickly divided.

Rita glanced at Octopus Bucket. He didn't protest, simply put the skill icon away. Marmang-Crab didn't seem to mind either, so Rita kept quiet.

Five skills... she had originally been considering how to ensure her own interests.

Even though her battle power was the lowest, she had contributed, and she couldn't accept not getting anything. At least she had to receive one.

Now that Sea Pony had stepped in, whether by accident or on purpose, Rita had received what she wanted, so she had no objections.

A disruption skill, "Poor Signal".

Not bad, it was better than nothing. These top-tier players in the world battlefield couldn't even disrupt skills that strong.

Sea Pony asked Rita, "Which skill did you get?"

Having seen all five skills, none were far superior, Rita truthfully answered, "The one called Poor Signal."

Just as she finished speaking, she felt something else appear in her hands.

Meanwhile, the second rabbit slammed its spoon onto the table and stood up angrily.
