This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 477 - : Global Announcements Flood the Screen!

Rita assumed that B80234615 had realized their thought processes were different because it had begun to understand that she wasn't as selfless as it had initially imagined.

Looking back on her decision to return for B80234615, even she found it hard to believe.

She chalked it up to boredom—that moment after an intense battle when she just wanted to take a walk, to relax, to understand more about the "living" beings within the world battlegrounds.

Perhaps sensing her internal conflict—or maybe just seizing another opportunity to continue their discussion—B80234615 said, "I'm not surprised by your choices. Prioritizing one's own interests is the nature of all living beings, though a small percentage can resist that instinct.

"I just think you should package your self-interest more carefully.

"Instead of saying, 'What do I get out of this?'

"You should say, 'Simply investing World Graveyards won't be as effective as the progress I bring to BS through Divine Game. Are there better uses for World Graveyards? If I use them to improve my own strength first, then enter Divine Game to fight, wouldn't that be more beneficial for BS in the long run?'

"This would be much more well-received."

Nivalis turned to Rita. "It kinda sounds like it'd make a good PR agent for you."

Rita nodded. "B80234615, from now on, you'll be my executive manager."

B80234615: ?

"I was speaking seriously," it said.

Rita's expression also grew serious. "And so am I. That's my genuine and unfiltered opinion.

"I could say what you suggested. If I wanted to, I could wrap up everything I do in the perfect packaging.

"I know what's considered 'right.' I know what the mainstream expects. And I am trying to build a reputation—to establish myself as BS's spiritual leader.

"But… now that you're my pet, you're different. I don't want to pretend in front of you or Nivalis."

B80234615 fell silent for a long time before finally replying, "I understand."

Then, it switched topics.

"Unlike the rewards from Divine Game, investing World Graveyards into [My World] strengthens BS as a planet rather than just empowering its players.

"You will benefit from it. The more you contribute, the more BS will favor you.

"You've made it this far not just through your own efforts—BS must have been looking out for you in some way. Those who are favored by their own world will find that, no matter what hardships or setbacks they face, it is merely the world's way of tempering them."

Rita couldn't help but think: Well, BS sure made some bad investment choices in my last life.

She reconfirmed, "Aside from charging you, is there any other use for World Graveyards?"

Without B80234615, she likely never would have discovered this function.

"No," it replied. "But you should keep some. Once you reach Nightmare Mode, the number of tickets required for each entry into Divine Game will increase."

Without hesitation, Rita purchased [My World].

A pink piggy bank appeared in front of her.

It wasn't very large, slightly smaller than a basketball, and its coin slot was frustratingly tiny.

She pulled out a soda bottle-shaped World Graveyard and moved it toward the coin slot. Instantly, the slot expanded to match the bottle's size.

The World Graveyard fell inside.

Clink!

A crisp, pleasant chime echoed.

There was no change in her Honor Points, but then—

[GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Thanks to BS's #1 Ranked Player in Level, Wealth, Pets, and Honor—Rita—BS now shines among the stars.]

Rita's expression stiffened.

Nivalis also looked unsettled. "Why does this announcement sound like it's thanking some rich, beautiful patroness for sending a gift rocket?"

B80234615: "Accurate."

Rita ignored them. "But why isn't there any visible progress in BS's evolution?"

"It's too little," B80234615 replied. "You'd need at least 100 World Graveyards to make a noticeable impact. And when BS truly begins to change, you'll receive its gratitude in return."

Rita: "..."

No wonder it was just a flash of glory.

Her last game placed her at Tier 6, but with B80234615 as her pet, her minimum for the next round would be Tier 7—Torment Mode. Nightmare Mode wasn't far off.

She still had 47 World Graveyards left—barely enough for two Divine Game entries.

For safety's sake, she decided to invest 27 more and keep 20 in reserve.

She chose to deposit the ones that were large and taking up space.

And then…

The global announcements flooded the screen.

[GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Thanks to BS's Star, Rita, BS shall no longer remain ordinary.]

[GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Thanks to BS's #1 Player, Rita, BS shines brilliantly.]

[GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Thanks to BS's Strongest Player, Rita, BS grows alongside her!]

Nivalis groaned. "This is disgusting."

Rita flipped her hair dramatically. "You're wrong. BS is just sweet-talking me."

Meanwhile, Shadow.Q, who had been trying to message Rita for half an hour without a response, knew exactly what was happening.

Rita was too busy enjoying the attention from the global announcements.

At first, the World Chat was lively.

But as the announcements kept coming, everyone just went numb.

Rita had single-handedly devalued the rarity of BS's global announcements.

BS itself seemed far too eager to flatter her…

Once the announcements finally stopped, Rita ignored her messages.

Instead, she handed Nivalis some gold and told her to go buy ingredients.

She needed to prepare a new batch of buff-enhancing meals for daily use—and for Apache.

As Nivalis left on her errand, Rita headed to the study, planning to finish up some dungeon runs before researching [Last Night's Star].

B80234615 floated behind her. "And what about me? What should I do?"

Rita paused. It was still a bit strange having a second pet in the house.

She asked, "Do you want to work, or do you want to play?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Alchemy research."

"I can assist with analysis."

Rita shook her head immediately. "No need. This is my hobby."

She knew that B80234615 could dramatically speed up her progress.

But she also knew that if she relied on it too much, she would eventually hit a wall.

All of her pride and stubbornness were tied to alchemy.

Despite knowing that mines could boost inspiration and help break through skill levels, she never considered keeping any for herself.

She truly enjoyed alchemy. She didn't doubt her ability to break through on her own.
