CHAPTER 1381: CHAPTER 1382

(To be modified later) The real target is the government player who hasn’t yet escaped, but a cold light sweeps from the side just as they are halfway there!

The pursuing player quickly dodges to the side, and dozens of Cowhair Needles shoot out from his sleeve as he raises his hand.

The Air Barrier is temporarily unusable, so Xu Huo casually places and retracts Shelter 101 in front, simultaneously using "Extreme Fatigue" and "Progress Bar Disappearance" during the attack.

The player instantly feels the effects of the props applied to him. A press at his cuff causes his clothes to stand and fold like scales, with the colors of his outfit shifting once and then returning to normal, showing no sign of fatigue on his face.

Yan Jiayu and the Stone Lion join the fray, while the lazy Da Mao gets hit on the butt with a stick, immediately venting all its anger on the pursuing player. Amidst biting and tearing, this person is forced to retreat step by step.

"The vase’s effect!" The pursuing player throws a mat on the ground, causing Da Mao to skid and step on it, fixing one paw to the ground.

However, this is of little use. The already violent Stone Lion simply plows the ground into a hole; it doesn’t matter if it can’t escape the mat, it can carry the floorboard along.

Da Mao is difficult to manage, and Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu are equally challenging. Yan Jiayu fights close combat while Xu Huo assists with props and occasionally makes surprise attacks from the side. After three minutes of engagement, both sides sustain injuries.

Looking up, Xu Huo ascends the stairs. Upon reaching the third floor, he senses someone rapidly descending from the center of the building, quickly switching to the office floor, he places Shelter 101 at the direct bottom!

The fleeing player was using props to move between floors, unexpectedly stepping onto 101, a metal prop from the game that he cannot breach. Seeing Xu Huo beside him, he hoists a Crossbow Arrow and aims at him!

The crossbow arrow released is not a solid arrow but a semi-transparent ice, which pierces the wall and quickly melts!

"You are not the one I’m looking for," Xu Huo clarifies his stance. Due to this brief delay, the pursuing player has descended from the building, but just as he shows his feet, a strange force strikes him, carving a deep groove into the ceiling and stopping at the wall.

In the next second, two people and a Stone Lion land on the same level as Xu Huo.

"Da Mao, go!" Yan Jiayu commands the Stone Lion to attack, simultaneously slapping a muscle doll sticker onto her face, instantly increasing her speed to resemble an uncatchable missile, crashing into the person by the wall!

The player apparently does not take her reckless fighting method seriously. With a pat on his shoulder, a blue light arc unfolds before him. Shielded by the light arc, he doesn’t spare Yan Jiayu another glance but focuses on the Stone Lion running in circles nearby.

However, as he prepares to deal with the Stone Lion, Yan Jiayu, this living bomb, crashes into him—who knows if she carries other invisible Defense Props, but as she hits the light arc, she directly smashes this player through the wall, while cracks spread across the light arc!

"What!" The opponent is visibly shocked and then pushed to the outermost wall of the building by the impact, only to be bounced back by a barrier on the wall surface.

Yan Jiayu, on the force-receiving side, doesn’t appear as battered as him, landing steadily in the room’s center, brandishing the Demon-Subduing Pestle, attacking in wild flurries!

"Bang, bang, bang," sounds echo as a Shield Prop is struck with cracks. The player hastily evades, utilizing characteristics to temporarily hinder Yan Jiayu’s speed before heading towards Xu Huo!

His real target is the government player who hasn’t yet escaped, but a cold light sweeps from the side just as they are halfway there!

The female player’s words aren’t entirely useless, at least on the point that open voting cannot be rigged, this is a rule Xu Huo agrees with. Since he acknowledges this rule, he must recognize the larger environment of the restaurant, where votes beneficial to the restaurant are needed—for the restaurant and chef alike—it loses meaning if everyone votes the same.

Moreover, although the waiters report today’s recommendations differently, overall, few really inquire about today’s recommendations. When hearing different dishes from several waiters, most assume the method is ineffective and no longer waste time, opting randomly from the suggestions or choosing predetermined dishes. In fact, yesterday’s answers have rarely repeated today.

It’s very likely there’s been a chef change today.

If that’s the case, it’s best to choose the server’s recommendation when ordering.

"It’s true, Bauhinia Restaurant is doing quite well," Li Kun chuckled, taking a bite of his dish. "Mm, I like this sweet and sour flavor."

"The pigeon soup is quite savory," Xu Huo wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief. "But the roast meat is a bit tastier."

"Really?" Zhou Donghe, with a substantial appetite, said, "I think the meat pie is better."

"I agree with Mr. 172, the roast beats the rest." Maris chimed in.

Their tablemates, Xiao Wan preferred the pigeon soup above all, while the scarf player also enjoyed the roast, the injured ones favored roast chicken, and the evolving woman—who was focused solely on eating—was indifferent about what she consumed, her bowls and dishes rapidly piling up.

"Don’t gorge yourself to death," Xiao Wan pulled her back, yet the woman continued stuffing roast meat into her mouth, muttering indistinctly through greasy lips, "Roast meat is the best..."

Those seated around them found it either inexplicable or amusing, and some called a waiter to ask about today’s recommendations before ordering.

Before long, a connoisseur among the guests appeared, praising a certain dish extravagantly and recommending it to those nearby.
