Chapter Summaries

Yu Xunge assessed the new penalties in the Godly Game and duplicated I Want to Improve So Badly to protect the Skill while keeping a copy available. As the restaurant transformed for the next stage, new rules increased the risk for players who rarely joined games, and B suggested the change might be connected to Yu Xunge.

She and B realized the restaurant’s best chance of surviving the elimination rounds might depend on finding inspectors and provoking them into killing the team.

• Yu Xunge realized that her teammates’ strength could help them provoke inspectors, get killed by them, and preserve their skill icons through the elimination rounds.

Yu Xunge considered how the Godly Game’s rules weakened powerful players and learned that becoming an Unregistered Player triggered stealth while position markers required three seconds to claim.

• Tulan stole two skill icons from powerful half-employed players and gave Yu Xunge Steady Happiness, which helped her steal Borrow and Return and Family Bucket from a top-ranked player.
