This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 407 The Divine Game: Kart Racing 11
Clock Reversal: This skill shortens all skill cooldowns by 50% for 1 hour after activation. It's a top-tier skill, and exactly what she needs right now!
Both of the skills are quite useful, not to mention she also got two World Graveyards. One is a blue glass orb, which Rita can only associate with checkers in Blue Star culture, though it might have a different use in another world.
World Graveyard·Blue Glass Orb: Belongs to the Ridge Tea civilization; players from other civilizations can only use it as a ticket.
The other is a diamond-shaped stone tablet with the image of an animal's head, called Beast Chess, a game present in BS civilization. However, just like the red airplane, she can't quite figure out how to use it as a key or how to arrange it to determine its level.
World Graveyard·Tiger Chess: Belongs to the Blazing Flame civilization; players from other civilizations can only use it as a ticket.
Now she has three World Graveyards from other civilizations: Marmang's poker, Ridge Tea's glass orb, and Blazing Flame's Tiger Chess.
She doesn't have to worry about future tickets now!
These also add up to 30,000 honor points.
Moreover, Nivalis also got 3 points of intelligence and 2 points of agility.
Not only that, she also got their kart, including the gasoline and kart coins inside.
The kart was immediately dismantled, and she and Nivalis carefully sorted through the parts, taking anything still usable. Unfortunately, by the time they got here, the parts and tires of these two karts were quite worn out. Only one was still somewhat decent, so Nivalis removed it and attached it to their kart as a backup.
To prevent other players from scavenging the remaining parts, Rita blew them all up.
Both gasoline cans were only half full, so Rita mixed them into one can, which now has 57%.
There were plenty of kart coins, too. It was clear that these two players hadn't had a chance to use them after leaving the last gas station. Together, they had 42 coins, which Rita stored in her steering wheel.
Adding her own, which she had stolen from the gas station earlier, and the ones Nivalis picked up after the vending machine attack, her kart coin total now reached 83.
Rita almost wanted to stay here forever, but at that moment, the Kart Bumper event ended, and more karts appeared out of thin air.
Luckily, even though she had left early and didn't rank in the top 100, she wasn't eliminated.
Most of the new players who appeared just sped off without a second glance. Only Mistblade, who had made an appointment with Rita, stopped her kart as soon as she appeared on the racetrack. She didn't even glance to the left or right, directly turning around to spot Rita waiting on the roadside.
With a cold expression, Mistblade parked her kart beside Rita. Her deep gray eyes were filled with anger. It wasn't just her—her hamster, standing on her steering wheel, was also furious, glaring at Rita, with its face dirty and its mouth twisted in an angry snarl, showing its little teeth.
Fine. Rita took out several parts Nivalis had sorted through—these parts were not compatible with their kart model—and handed them to Mistblade.
Mistblade coldly flipped through the parts Rita handed her, and after a moment, nodded reluctantly. She even took them over and showed them to the hamster, who gave a nod as well. The moon fox and the hamster both seemed to forgive Rita for causing them trouble earlier.
Rita's opinion of Mistblade rose another level. She had prepared herself for Mistblade to grab the parts, thinking the two would get into an argument, but Mistblade had remained calm and reasonable.
In Rita's mind, she and Mistblade could have turned this into a conflict, with Mistblade being the first to act dishonorably. The deal would still continue, but their future exchanges would give Rita more leeway, not leaving her feeling so passive. She could have simply said, I don't feel safe, I'll give you the translation once we reach the next safe zone.
But Mistblade was actually so straightforward…
Rita signaled with her hands to start the translation. She and Nivalis had finished upgrading their kart, eaten, and rested.
Mistblade didn't like to drag things out. She elegantly sat in her kart, and with a swift movement of her tail, she wrote down the rules in the snow. After each rule, she erased it with the tip of her tail, leaving a clean surface behind.
After writing 45 rules, Rita had translated 5 of them.
Once the translation was done, Rita didn't just leave. She took out a spare tire she had prepared earlier and handed it to Mistblade. This tire was of no use to her.
Her kart was a smaller model, and the tire was the right size for her kart, but when Nivalis tried installing it, she realized it violated the rules.
They had figured it out after some thought—the tire center had a deep blue circle, unlike her white kart.
The two had exclaimed in unison, No different-colored tires allowed.
Rule 17 immediately lit up, confirming what they had just said.
Rita signaled, hoping Mistblade would help translate the rules.
Mistblade, upon seeing the 18-kart coin tire, pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and took the tire.
Rita was genuinely surprised. She knew this was a bit of a push, but she hadn't expected Mistblade to agree… It almost felt like Mistblade had an ulterior motive.
Her easy-going demeanor reminded Rita of herself when trying to persuade others to cooperate by giving them a little benefit upfront.
But doubts aside, Rita immediately started working on translating the remaining 13 rules she hadn't fully understood.
Mistblade had been in the World Battlefield for so long, even if she hadn't learned any languages, surely she had bought all 10 languages in the Honor Store!
To Rita's surprise, Mistblade actually deciphered three more rules:
Rule 2: Players cannot participate in the game more than three times at the gas station.
Rule 5: The number of gasoline blends cannot exceed 3 types.
Rule 13: No more than 300ml of the same gasoline type may be used.
Together with the rules Rita had already understood, rules 8 and 18, and the ones she guessed after breaking the rules, 9, 10, and 17, she had now understood 8 rules, leaving 10 unknown.
The game had only been running for 4 hours and 17 minutes, with plenty of time left before it ends. So far, she had lost a lot due to rule violations, but fortunately, the chances of losing skills hadn't been too extreme—only one B-level skill was lost.
On top of that, she had killed three players, so she was still slightly ahead.
Otherwise, she would have seriously considered leaving early.
After Mistblade finished translating, she drove off with the tire.
Rita waited for half a minute before setting off again with Nivalis.

Their modified kart was clearly faster now, but Rita couldn't stop thinking about Rule 2—participating in the game more than three times was not allowed—meaning she had lost a crucial source of kart coins.
Kart coins were absolutely essential in this Divine Game.
Gasoline had to be bought.

Karts inevitably sustained damage in battles with other players, so she needed to keep kart coins aside to buy parts for repairs or upgrades.
Plus, there were the parking fees for leaving the game early, which were another cost…
