Universe Infinite Canteen-Chapter 719 - 8-Star Ingredients
Upon reaching the Fifth Layer, the atmosphere finally became lively.
The remaining survivors were basically gathered in the central hall, divided into six or seven groups, fighting among themselves.
Bullets and curses wildly flew through the air.
Ma Lu had just peaked his head out when he barely missed being taken out by an armor-piercing bullet.
The bullet whizzed past his right ear and hit a giant Mechanical Arm behind him.
The metal-crafted Mechanical Arm was actually pierced through by the armor-piercing bullet, leaving a hole the size of a bowl.
Seeing this, Ma Lu quickly scrambled back with Rabbit Man outside the hall; though it was just a fleeting glimpse, he still saw quite a lot.
Besides the fiercely fighting crowd, the most eye-catching thing in the hall was the glittering golden cat statue in the middle.
The statue was five meters tall, with the cat's eyes slightly squinted and looking solemn. It held up its right paw in a beckoning fortune gesture, and in its arms, it held a goldfish.
The factions embroiled in the melee were bloodshot, yet strangely, not a single bullet hit the golden statue.
"What is that thing?" Ma Lu asked curiously.
Rabbit Man pointed at the Collection Bag in his hand, then took out a marble.
"You're not suggesting that it's the one who exchanges fish catches for marbles, are you?" Ma Lu said, looking perplexed.
He had originally planned to find that buyer of the catches to persuade with sentiments and reason to exchange the ingredients back; if that failed, he could use the rollback to take action.
But now that was definitely not going to work.
However, it was a consolation that he had managed to secure 500 kilograms of high Star Level ingredients. He just didn't know how to leave this place.
Just as Ma Lu was thinking this, suddenly a mechanical voice sounded in his ears.
"This fishing activity will end in 30 minutes... Please prepare accordingly."
"This fishing activity will end in 30 minutes... Please prepare accordingly."
"This time.........."
The mechanical voice played three times in a row, causing everyone present to involuntarily stop their actions, and even the gunshots quietened down.
Is it ending already?
Ma Lu also looked at the Traveler's Bracelet on his wrist; he had only been in this Plane for less than 100 minutes. Although there had been a few deaths before, it was starting to get interesting now.
Hearing that the fishing was about to end brought a sense of regret.
Mainly because the Collection Bag wasn't full yet; after all, he came too late, and most of the fish had already been caught, leaving him only to pick up the leftovers.
Moreover, he and Rabbit Man were only two people and couldn't even join in the group fight in front of them.
Ma Lu looked again at the golden statue and decided to find a safe place to wait out until the fishing ended.
But unexpectedly, Rabbit Man suddenly tapped his shoulder and held up three fingers.
Ma Lu was a bit perplexed, "What?"
Rabbit Man pointed at the ground.
"You want to go back to the Third Layer?"
Ma Lu was reluctant, "What for? We've already fished out all the fish there. If we were to go, it should be to the 1st Level and 2nd Level, but it looks like we don't have enough time for that. Also, I told you, there's a powerful Assassin on the third layer."
Ma Lu suddenly paused, "Wait a minute, are you planning to make a move on that thing?"
Rabbit Man nodded.
Ma Lu inhaled sharply, "You've got guts, daring to scheme against that assassin!"
Actually, Ma Lu had more or less guessed the identity of that mysterious assassin before.
That thing was clearly also a type of fish.
Though he didn't know why the food scanning function of the Traveler's Bracelet had failed to detect it.
It might be possible that penetrating such a thick door in an instant and accurately killing him could only be done by those various Space Fish.
Speaking of fish, Ma Lu suddenly realized Rabbit Man seemed to be an expert in fishing; could it be he truly had some way to deal with that mysterious hidden assassin?
With this thought, he couldn't help but get excited. Ma Lu, of course, wouldn't mind catching more fish, especially since that thing had such strong fighting power and definitely a high Star Level, clearly premium quality.
Seeing that there was not much advantage to gain on the Fifth Layer, he and Rabbit Man headed back to the Third Layer.
During the walk, Ma Lu even saved the game, then the two of them climbed down the emergency ladder and returned to the place they had fought before.
Ma Lu turned his head towards Rabbit Man, "Alright, it's time to discuss your plan. How do you intend to deal with that guy?"
Rabbit Man did not speak, just silently pressed his portable music player, and the next moment, mellow jazz music started playing again.
Ma Lu was startled, "Can't you change your hobby? The sound of music might attract... wait, are you deliberately trying to lure it here?"
Rabbit Man nodded.
Seeing Rabbit Man confident, Ma Lu felt somewhat relieved.
Rabbit Man placed the portable music player behind a pipe above his head.
He himself borrowed a Flame Sprayer from Ma Lu and aimed it at the ceiling. Then, he lay flat in mid-air, motionless.
It must be said, in this state coupled with his doll suit, he resembled a large plush toy silently floating in the corridor.
Ma Lu didn't have his miraculous play-dead skill, so he glanced around and could only shrink behind an electrical box.
This was one of the hiding spots used by the people previously guarding the emergency ladder.
There Ma Lu squatted for ten minutes, doubting whether Rabbit Man's method would work when he heard the familiar clinking sound again.
It was like raindrops hitting the glass.
The sound came from above, precisely from the location of the pipe that held the portable music player.
Excited, Ma Lu knew the fish had taken the bait. He quickly glanced toward Rabbit Man but saw the latter still hadn't moved.

At that moment, something sharply pierced into the pipe, piercing through the ceiling along with it.
Ma Lu widened his eyes, staring agape at the dark shadow on the ceiling ahead.
It was a big fish over six meters long, sleek-bodied, with soft fins on its back like sails, but the most terrifying part was its sharp, long snout at the front of its head, two meters long and emitting a chilling gleam.
Without any surprise, Ma Lu's previous inexplicable deaths were caused by that snout piercing through him.
At the same time, the Traveler's Bracelet finally sounded an alert.
— Ding! Congratulations on discovering an 8-star ingredient [Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish], [Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish] Illustrated Handbook unlocked.
Ma Lu couldn't pay attention to the alert, as Rabbit Man had already moved, the [Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish] had easily pierced through the ceiling, but it took some time to pull it out.
Rabbit Man seized this opportunity to raise the Flame Sprayer in his hands.
However, for some reason, his finger hesitated on the trigger, and that moment's hesitation allowed the [Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish] to withdraw its snout again.
It then seemed to notice the toy below, along with dozens of its offspring, all less than half a meter long but identical in appearance. They dived towards Rabbit Man, piercing him into a sieve in the blink of an eye.
…
Ma Lu rolled his eyes; this darn Rabbit had earlier sworn he could handle these [Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish], but then he himself got killed just like that, seemingly not up to the task.
