At the same time, he shouted toward Rita,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's my mother! Show some mercy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita accelerated even faster. \"Turn off your ultimate first before saying that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starsea Cicada also rushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having fought Quiet Mountain Cicada before, she knew exactly what kind of rewards came from killing a Quiet Mountain player. Even though her max HP had been cut in half and couldn't recover, the moment Rita engaged, how could she not follow up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was contribution percentage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But almost instantly, she realized something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had clearly dealt damage to QM Maple Syrup earlier, yet she hadn't even gotten 1 percent contribution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since when did Rita's ability also come with kill-stealing built in?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Autumn Deer ran like his life depended on it, all four hooves moving in a blur, afraid that if he was even a moment late, he wouldn't get any damage in. As he ran, he kept shouting,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother! Wait for me! It's me, your Autumn Deer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quiet Mountain Frost Deer: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beautiful mountain spirit turned her head and responded with a string of deer calls, followed by a very human \"tui.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Autumn Deer looked nostalgic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old-generation trash talk really had more depth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Starsea Maple Syrup glanced at the three people chasing Frost Deer and decisively turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She went straight for QM Mistblade instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Divine Instruction, every time she saw Mistblade's face and that black-and-white aesthetic, her anger spiked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now there were two of them on the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lightning spear shot straight toward QM Mistblade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>QM Mistblade said coldly, \"This is a battle between Mistblades. Why are you interfering?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starsea Mistblade replied gently, \"It's fine. Starsea is one big family. She's my family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starsea Maple Syrup didn't even want to talk to her, but that line was too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…You didn't talk like this back in Lania Kaia. Ever since you went to BS, you've changed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starsea Mistblade nodded seriously. \"Exactly. It's all BS's fault.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, under the combined assault of Rita, Cicada, and Autumn Deer, Quiet Mountain Frost Deer didn't last long before being sent away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Autumn Deer, who had previously drained her soul flame, received 50 percent contribution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Frost Deer died, Rita turned and started walking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Quiet Mountain already forming Order Badges, time had suddenly become tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a few steps, she stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turned back and looked at the two who had followed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starsea Cicada sneered, \"Calling me a BS citizen when you need help, then ditching me after?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita: …you really just skipped over the part where you ran into my lightning field asking for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cicada coughed lightly and changed tone. \"Except for QM Rita, all Quiet Mountain players are hunting in teams.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was indeed Rita's concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could use Load to swap out these enhanced Quiet Mountain players for earlier versions before the game reached 3.0.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her soul flame was limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she ran out and then ran into a team, she'd be the one in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, pulling in QM Maple Syrup and killing her had cost 12 soul flame in only a few minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was with Pirate Entrance triggering three times, stealing back 1 soul flame each time with its 5 percent chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a playstyle perspective, Rita preferred solo fights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't like teaming up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from an efficiency and survival standpoint, teaming up was clearly better right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded. \"We can team up. But no babysitting. Everyone fights for themselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That actually made Cicada's expression improve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the current situation, she wouldn't want to team up either, let alone be the one to suggest it to BS Rita. It felt too much like asking for protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Autumn Deer felt the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them quickly moved back, planning to take down QM Mistblade next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by the time they arrived, QM Mistblade had already fallen to Starsea Mistblade and Maple Syrup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team became five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they moved, following the overlapping marks in the sky to locate more players, they brought up the earlier system announcement again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quiet Mountain had already formed two Order Badges, accelerating the Order Clock to reach Starsea in six days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if they formed a third?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita hadn't felt this kind of pressure in a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BS was still in Starsea. Once the pendulum entered Starsea, it would strike within a day. She couldn't afford to leave at the last moment. She would have to exit the game early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing Quiet Mountain players to reduce fatal weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding the King to upgrade Cat's Ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were equally important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she only had six days left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was any good news, it was this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the announcement that Order Badge completion accelerated the pendulum, the number of players quitting the game surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those unwilling to submit to Quiet Mountain, yet unable to survive its hunting teams…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who couldn't even survive one-on-one fights…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They chose to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Online players: 23.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, the sounds of battle grew louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Starsea marks flickered above that battlefield, and upon seeing the five here, they began moving closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita, running at the front, suddenly had a feather pen appear in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys go ahead,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she slowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then stopped completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in place, she began writing in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever the pen moved, a faint blue glow appeared, as if an invisible page existed in midair, carrying her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others, who had all fought alongside her before, knew she wouldn't do something meaningless at a time like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skill: Fate Strings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quiet Mountain seems to have taken the lead once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Order Badges have been formed. The Order Clock will enter Starsea in six days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fate repeats itself, again and again. Starsea shatters, reforms, and yet never changes its rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the most resilient beings begin to resent the unfairness of the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forming Order Badges is already a reward for Quiet Mountain killing Starsea players.
