After teasing Rabbit 5, Rita decided to hand over the large bone. In return, Rabbit 5 didn't flay her alive. But as Rabbit 5 left, her fur was completely bristling, and with the bone slung over her shoulder, she looked like she was about to go beat soone to death. Gone was the earlier slow, reasoned attitude. She had taken the bone, but left behind her manners.
Nivalis finally spoke up: "I almost couldn't watch that."
Rita lay back down, retorting, "You only say that after they've left."
Not long after closing her eyes, Rita opened them again, seeing that Rabbit 5 had co back. Rita wondered if she had truly pissed off the rabbit enough to get bitten.
Rita slowly sat up. "What's up?"
Rabbit 5, still holding back her anger, said, "You still haven't told what 'Cubone' is…"
Rita: "…"
After learning that Cubone was a cute Pokémon that used a bone as a weapon, and after seeing Rita's kind drawing of it on animal hide, Rabbit 5's fur settled down again. She stared at the drawing for a while, asked Rita a few questions, then bounced away.
As Rabbit 5 left, Rita muttered, "She's like a child."
B8017913 comnted, "A rich diversity of emotions and profound feelings are the source of strength."
In its usually monotone voice, there was a hint of envy and confusion.
"In your world, emotional stability is seen as a sign of maturity. But in truth, losing emotions is losing power."
Rita was silent for a long while before replying, "The path of emotionlessness truly leads nowhere."
B8017913: ?
Nivalis: ?
Rita lay down again to rest, familiarizing herself with the players online in the leaderboard.
Nivalis and B8017913 kept an eye on the battlefield chat, extracting useful information and whispering it to her.
After listening for a while, Rita asked, "Has any player complained about being punished for killing low-level players after becoming a blacklisted player?"
This hidden rule had already been confird by B8017913, and Nivalis was aware of it too. She replied, "No, so far, everyone is keeping things tightly under wraps."
Rita frowned. She had withstood countless powerful attacks thanks to [Bedti Tale]. Did these high-level players not care about such punishnts?
She thought back to her three exclusive rules:
Prohibited from using theft skills on players with lower combat power.
Prohibited from killing Divine Ga players at the "Fool" tier.
Prohibited from using the Refurbish skill on chanical races.
The punishnt for violating these rules was sothing Rita couldn't accept: "Each ti you break one of these rules, one of the stolen items from your last three Starsea days will be returned to its original owner at random."
Thinking back, Rita felt a chill. There was a ti when she completely forgot about these rules…
The first rule wasn't too bad. She had high standards, and usually stole from rabbits or high-level players. She also vaguely rembered the third rule.
But the second rule—after becoming a blacklisted player, she had been so focused on survival and scavenging that she forgot about it entirely.
Fortunately, she hadn't successfully killed any "Fool" tier players. Was it luck?
"Fool" tier players...
The more Rita thought, the more her frown deepened.
This round of the ga was so brutal that it was a death sentence for "Fool" tier players, essentially eradicating them from the Divine Ga.
Where was the fairness in the Divine Ga?
What about these "Fools"?
Rita opened the leaderboard, which was now showing the real-ti revenue rankings. As she scrolled down, she found that among the top 10,000, there were over 500 players with combat power only in tiers 2–3, and more than 3,000 players in tiers 4–6.
Every ti Rita had previously checked the leaderboard for players, a nagging sense of unease crossed her mind.
Back then, she thought it was because high-level players were busy being blacklisted and had completely given up on revenue, while low-level players focused on running restaurants, so the revenue catching up made sense.
But now, looking back, this didn't seem right.
Even if high-level players stopped to wait, it shouldn't be like this…
The Dark Food Street?
That was the only explanation she could think of.
Rita cleared her mind and slept until midnight. She wasn't avoiding sleep, but she heard a system notification.
[Please reselect the skill icons you want to equip.]
[Based on your performance in the Cooking Adventure, you can equip up to 9 skill icons.]
Rita sat up, leaning against Nivalis's belly, and asked, "Do you have any skill icons this ti?"
Nivalis replied, "No."
Rita sighed and began selecting her skills again.
The thought of choosing 9 trash skills to minimize potential losses flashed through Rita's mind for a mont but was quickly suppressed.
[I Just Want to Improve So Badly] was a must-have. She had already copied it before, and now she had two.
[Mysterious Power], which she had used the reward from the 3rd Egg for, still had the "cannot be lost for any reason" effect, so this one needed to stay.
[Bedti Tale], her survival skill, was a must-have. She couldn't afford to lose a second [Midnight Exile] skill, so that one would be left out.
[Repay], which allowed her to copy other players' skills, ensuring her skillset remained diverse, had to stay.
[Reward or Punishnt] wasn't rare and could be used to absorb damage; "Reward" acted as a shield, and "Punishnt" could work well with [Mysterious Power]. Since it was the last day, she had to use [Mysterious Power].
Her sixth skill: SS-tier healing skill [Mango Polo Sago], though it only healed 50% of health, had a short cooldown ti.
Her seventh skill: An SS-tier healing attack skill [If You Can Kill ].
[If You Can Kill ] (SSS): When activated, your health limit temporarily expands from 0% to -500%. During this period, every attack you take has a 15% chance to heal you by 5% of your health. Lasts for 5 minutes; consus 5% mana; cooldown ti is 15 minutes.
Her eighth skill: An SSS-tier escape skill [Romantic Tourist].
[Romantic Tourist] (SSS): You can remotely set 7 buildings as city landmarks. As long as they are in your line of sight, you can set them. Using this skill will randomly teleport you to one of the 7 landmarks for sightseeing; there must be at least a 30-minute gap between teleports; once a landmark is "visited," it will disappear. Only 7 landmarks can exist at the sa ti, and you can set up to 12 landmarks a day; each landmark lasts for up to 24 hours.
An escape teleport skill, but unfortunately, it could only be used 12 tis a day…
This number and skill seed to be a modification from its previous owner.
Her last skill: Rita gritted her teeth and selected the disguise skill [Survive Until the End].
In the final round of the ga, she didn't expect to get another big haul like in the Cooking Adventure. Her primary goal was to minimize the number of deaths!
She intended to live to the end with her spoils.
