Although she had jokingly said that B80234615's role was to "like" her guesses, Rita didn't actually mind this arrangent.
If B80234615 had enough privileges to casually share all the information in Divine Ga, Rita's fate wouldn't just be unlucky—it would be far worse. The gods themselves would intervene and erase her from existence.
Rita shared her thoughts with B80234615 and said, "You're doing just fine the way you are."
B80234615 replied, "But you're really hard to deal with."
Rita chuckled. "Wow, the robot's learned how to complain."
B80234615 responded, "When we first t, you were too brutally honest, but now, you try to make happy by softening your words."
Rita smiled. "But I still haven't tried to deceive you with lies."
A faint buzzing sound echoed in her mind—that was B80234615 muttering sothing she didn't quite understand but had deliberately made sure Rita heard.
Rita laughed quietly and returned to examining the Ballroom Formalwear.
So things didn't need to be said out loud; she trusted B80234615 would understand. Despite explaining so much in gentle terms, the underlying truth was cruel and cold—I am the master, and you are the tool.
"You can pop up and ask if I need help, but when I haven't activated you, you can't start the learning software and guide on what to do," Rita thought to herself, but she didn't say it aloud.
B80234615 suddenly spoke again, "You're just the right amount of rational. I don't like machines that are as cold as , but I also don't like beings whose emotions overflow. Emotion is precious, and you, rich in it yet stingy with it, are perfect."
Whether it was Nivalis or B80234615, both had praised her after understanding the unfiltered, true her.
Rita paused for a mont, reflecting on B80234615's words, until a skill hit her, snapping her back to focus.
Yes! Nivalis and B80234615 really do have good judgnt!
She glanced at the already tattered BS attire on her, patted B80234615, and asked it to conjure sothing more practical. Quickly transforming into Dusk and Night, B80234615 produced a black hoodie.
Rita slipped it on casually, then stood next to Octopus Bucket, examining the garnt Pine Bloom had given her.
She had lost health, but wasn't it ti to return it to her?
Rita tried casting a healing skill directly on the outfit. The glow of the skill covered the entire cloak and slowly rged into it.
Was it effective?
Although she couldn't be sure if this thod would work to cancel out Ballroom Host, it was worth trying.
With Octopus Bucket and Marmang-Crab holding the front lines, Rita had attempted to grab a loophole but found herself unable to do so—opponents' shields were stacked too thickly. She decided to deal with her own issues first.
Rita started casting healing skills on the outfit. After about fifty healing casts, each ti her health dropped below 80%, the healing would trigger, bringing her health back to 80%.
Her body had 253 constitution and almost 16,000 health.
She even summoned Fountain of Light, dunking the outfit in the well to let it absorb water. With the Abyss version of Fountain of Light, 1ml of water equals 5 health points.
Her healing skills weren't extensive, but she had B80234615 consu its power to heal the cloak. Rita didn't recall how much she owed in health, but she planned to heal up to 160,000 health points—equivalent to 1000% of her total health.
She continued until the end of the match.
[Match Ended] [You can check the cooking competition rankings and scoring details on the leaderboard.]
When the [Match Ended] notification sounded, the first thing Rita did was use Mooncut on the tal moon in the sky.
…
[Congratulations to the Cosmic Wanderer Octopus Bucket, Divine Ga Player Marmang-Crab, Divine Ga Player BS Rita, and Ingredient TingoJE for securing 233rd place in this competition.] [Congratulations to the team for earning the right to manage restaurant 233 in Area A.] [The Divine Ga Player employees of restaurant 233 will receive World Graveyard (random) x5.] [The Cosmic Wanderer employees of restaurant 233 will receive a vacation right to one random world for 1 Star Sea Moon.] [Ingredient TingoJE wins an opportunity to prematurely end this Divine Ga in the "We Don't Know Big Roulette" ga.] [During the off-season, each employee of restaurant 233 can retain 2 Divine Blessing Skills, 3 non-Divine Blessing Skills, and 70% of their attributes.] [The "Is this your restaurant? Who gave you the permission to open it?" storyline is now complete.]
Five strange World Graveyards appeared in front of Rita. She put the now-earring-form B80234615 back on, feeding the 5 World Graveyards to it, telling it to recharge whenever it ran out of energy, knowing that B80234615 had a place to store these.
The next mont, they found themselves inside a restaurant.
Rita closed her right eye, enduring the sharp pain as though a knife was repeatedly cutting through it.
Inside the restaurant, only she, Octopus Bucket, Marmang-Crab, and Sea Pony were present. There was no sign of TingoJE, but Rita didn't think TingoJE would leave early...
She surveyed her surroundings and realized the layout here was similar to the one she had first encountered when arriving—an open design with no doors, like a tent.
Unlike before, when the outside world was a bright starry sky, the world outside the restaurant now had a crimson hue.
Before her, five boxes appeared, showing her to choose 2 Divine Blessing Skills and 3 non-Divine Blessing Skills.
She looked at her teammates. She couldn't see their boxes, but Octopus Bucket and Marmang-Crab's gazes both rested on a certain point in the air, clearly in the sa situation as her. As for Sea Pony...
Marmang-Crab asked Sea Pony, "Can you still use your skills?"
Sea Pony responded, "All sealed."
Rita asked, "Yours too?"
B80234615 replied, "Yes, all sealed."
Looking at the boxes before her, Rita suspected that once she made her choice, even using Abyssal Energy wouldn't release any of the unchosen skills.
She quickly made her decision: [Bedti Tale] [I Just Want to Improve So Badly], [Mysterious Power] [Fourfold Spring] [Dandelion Wind].
Here, with Octopus Bucket and Marmang-Crab, attacking wasn't really her job.
As for the tank? Marmang-Crab's defense was the strongest she had ever seen. It had withstood nearly a minute of bombardnt from at least four enemy teams!
Her goal was simple: stay alive.
For healing, she had [Fourfold Spring]. Even without Midnight Exile, her critical hit rate was still high at 76%.
For escaping, [Dandelion Wind]; for defense, [Mysterious Power] and [Bedti Tale].
And lastly, her core skill, [I Just Want to Improve So Badly]—after all, this was her bread and butter. Though Midnight Exile was powerful, she still preferred [I Just Want to Improve So Badly] because it had been with her throughout her journey, helping her grow.
