This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 1169: Divine Game Quiet Mountain 52 End

With the help of her extreme agility, Rita finished the entire meal in less than a minute.

The moment she set her chopsticks down, Party Value hit one hundred.

Her silver hair slowly faded back to black, and the flames in her eyes dimmed.

Three coins clinked in midair, as if falling into an empty can.

Skills stopped chaining. The dragon spine sword vanished.

At that moment, QM Rita had already shattered the flower dragon and thunder dragon and was charging straight at her.

Inside the cage, the remaining StarSea elites were also clashing with Quiet Mountain elites. After the tier eighteen players who had been trapped outside finally entered the battlefield, the two sides barely managed to trade blows evenly.

As Rita retreated rapidly, she activated a skill.

"A Long Sigh."

"Listen to the sigh of the world. For the next ten minutes, every time you speak, all living beings will stop what they are doing and begin to cry."

She started muttering things no one else could understand.

"Ababa ababa ababa..."

Every player on the field, StarSea and Quiet Mountain alike, froze and began crying.

For a moment, it was impossible to tell who the real idiot on the battlefield was.

QM Rita cried with a twisted expression. She looked stupid, and clearly in a terrible mood.

Cat’s Ideal, which had been following behind Rita, began to rotate, and the sound of waves echoed across Quiet Mountain.

"Pirate Enters the Stage."

"When the sound of waves is heard, activating this skill allows the player to strip part of the target’s assets with one hundred percent certainty. The stripped content falls into four categories: attributes, wealth, items, and skills."

Rita only wanted items.

While cautiously stealing glances at the murderous and tearful Lightchaser, she openly robbed Quiet Mountain players of their belongings, all while constantly talking to maintain control over them.

No one on the battlefield was busier than her. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

She also had to destroy every item she stole immediately.

She was furious at Deceitful Bloom’s excessive need for control, but she also knew that if Deceitful Bloom descended to StarSea, it had to be for serious reasons.

Since the first thing Deceitful Bloom told her to do was destroy Order Badges, that meant something important had happened that she did not know about.

She had no intention of taking the risk of using Order Badges again, nor would she carry them anymore.

There was no time to examine or research them one by one. If that was the case, the best option was obvious.

Destroy them.

Ash Cinders was also busy. In her moonbear form, she cried while staring at Lightchaser.

Unfortunately, Lightchaser had already removed her cloak and covered her entire head before the tears could fall.

The first to break free from this bizarre control skill was QM Rita, followed closely by QM Maple Syrup and QM Mistblade. The three of them were still crying, but they could already move freely.

Rita ran ahead muttering "ababa," while three tearful Quiet Mountain players chased her.

Below the cage, nearly a hundred players were still crying uncontrollably.

It was seeingly a deeply moving scene.

Once Rita had clarified her objective, she did not waver. She did not waste time fighting the three pursuing Quiet Mountain players. Instead, she focused entirely on using her skill to rob Quiet Mountain players of their items.

Each Quiet Mountain player could be robbed three times. At the very least, she had to use up all those attempts before moving on.

When Rita used a newly condensed golden lightning sword to destroy an hourglass she had just stolen from QM Tune, every StarSea player heard a notification.

Battlefield Announcement: Player BS Rita has successfully destroyed an Order Badge. Game progress advanced by 10 percent. Remaining Order Badges: 7.

Two minutes later, Rita swung her sword and shattered a shell taken from QM Mojie.

Battlefield Announcement: Player BS Rita has successfully destroyed an Order Badge. Game progress advanced by 10 percent. Remaining Order Badges: 6.

As the announcement echoed again, her vision went dark. When she opened her eyes, she found herself back in BS.

Rita: ???

She slammed the desk and stood up. Was this rigged? Targeting me?

"Dear player, due to your outstanding performance, you have been expelled by Quiet Mountain."

"Compensation from Quiet Mountain to the player has been delivered to your mailbox. Please check."

"Rewards for discovering a Demon Game exploit have also been delivered to your mailbox."

"This forced exit will not affect your current game settlement."

"Compensation from Quiet Mountain to Uncharted Star Sea will be converted into your game contribution value."

"Condolence rewards from Uncharted Star Sea have been delivered to your mailbox in advance."

"A small gift from Uncharted Star Sea has been delivered to your mailbox."

"Congratulations to player BS Rita for obtaining the StarSea title: Bell Variations."

Rita calmly sat back down.

This game was... acceptable.

...

"Player BS Rita has been expelled by Quiet Mountain."

When this announcement sounded, both the God Tavern and the Demon Tavern fell silent for several seconds.

Those who knew the rules naturally understood what had happened.

When a player independently destroyed three Order Badges in the game following the first bell, that player would be immediately expelled by Quiet Mountain.

It meant that player had exceeded what Quiet Mountain could tolerate. This was a defensive mechanism permitted by the rules.

But the game was barely past its halfway point.

In a corner of the tavern, Foolishness asked Deceitful Bloom, "Next game, when you see her again, what do you plan to do?"

"What do you mean, what do I plan to do?"

Foolishness was not gloating. She was genuinely worried.

"You know she will be the key of this era. You know how much Uncharted Star Sea values her now. You also know how angry she will be when she wakes up and realizes you controlled and deceived her again. She was not even done being angry last time. Do you regret it at all?"

In the tavern, countless ears quietly perked up.

Deceitful Bloom sighed.

"Her Dragon asks me that. Now you ask me that too. Why do you all ask such boring questions. I never asked whether you regretted taking the Foolishness Game back from TingoAutumn Deer."

"Those who love battle see defeating a strong opponent as the glory of a lifetime. You, who love creation, see making a novel toy as a joy stretched across long years. You even impose strict requirements and standards on the beings who use your toys."

"So tell me, for this era’s Uncharted Star Sea, is there anything more worthy of making me bloom than her?"

Her meaning was obvious.

Controlling the emotions of ordinary players was meaningless to her. It had no challenge, no pleasure, no sense of achievement.

Just as Foolishness had initially been unwilling to let BS Rita use the Foolishness Game, yet later felt lost when BS Rita stopped caring about the gains and losses of that game.

A toy maker only wants their most beloved toy to be used by the most dazzling player.

Deceitful Bloom was the same.

Her Flower of Deceit bloomed only for the most dazzling player. Otherwise, she would not be Deceitful Bloom.

"You are really boring," Foolishness commented.

"I will return that line to you on the day you go through every possible means to shove the Foolishness Game back into her hands."
