This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 389: That Mama’s Boy Makes Me So Mad!

As soon as the countdown began, Eclipse Vanguard had already started a meeting. When the level 45 Hundred Heads appeared, everyone in the room held their breath.

They immediately tried to contact Rita and her team, hoping to send a rescue squad, but they couldn’t get through.

At the start of the fight, nobody in the meeting room could sit still. After ten minutes, people had already started brewing tea, though it almost all got spat out when Shadow.Q started rapping.

But when they saw Rita blow off 22% of Hundred Heads’ health with a single shot, the entire meeting room went dead silent.

Landon let out a laugh and immediately pulled out his phone to tag the old-timers who had always disagreed with him in the Eclipse Vanguard leadership chat, challenging them with some fiery words!

Not only had the Coliseum gained its own dedicated section, but the existence and functionality of 12 types of Radiant Tribute had also been revealed. After discussing the term Blue Star for a while, players quickly shifted to talking about the Radiant Tribute.

Though a level 45 boss was terrifying, it couldn’t kill their excitement. Seeing Rita deal 22% damage with a single shot, many players imagined themselves in her shoes. All they had to do was find the boss’s weak points and land critical hits.

That very day, numerous guilds began collecting Radiant Tribute, forming teams to prepare for the Coliseum.

In response, Eclipse Vanguard, upon learning from Shadow.Q that Rita and her team were using level 15 Radiant Tribute in their light screen, quickly gathered the level 1 version of the tribute. Thanks to Shadow.Q’s reports, they had already been collecting these items and managed to gather a complete set of level 1 Radiant Tribute in under an hour.

That evening, another live stream from the Coliseum began.

This time, the stream featured a 20-person team, complete with tankers, melee fighters, ranged attackers, healers, and controllers—an exceptionally well-rounded group, and all were top-tier players on the level rankings.

After the countdown, they began buffing each other. One member came forward to explain that they were from Eclipse Vanguard and that they were about to shut down a level 1 medium-difficulty light screen.

At the 76-second mark, a boss entered the opposing arena—a level 3 alien beast boss.

By this point, most players on Blue Star were calculating which level dungeons they could handle. In the Coliseum, players had to face a level gap of three times, and there were also player limits for each dungeon.

Fortunately, the 20-player team consisted entirely of level 13 elite players who frequently ran raids together, so they managed to finish the dungeon in under half an hour. However, their rating was only a D, and they each received a "fool’s box."

As the event neared its end, the team leader retreated to a corner and addressed the viewers watching the live stream. He urged players from all major factions not to rush into closing level 3 to 5 dungeon light screens, as Eclipse Vanguard was willing to buy them at a high price for use by smaller and more casual players.

As for higher-level dungeons? Even if other factions could close them, they were unlikely to part with them.

In just a few days, the prices for dungeon light screens skyrocketed, and so did the prices for the 12 types of Radiant Tribute.

Rita wasn’t in a rush, though. She was content to wait for The White Family to help her collect them.

Just as she stepped into her home, she received a system notification. Explore more stories at novelbuddy

[Divine Game #24367 Completed]

[Player BSRita ranked 13,291 in Divine Game: Little Artist, Reward: 1 Attribute Point]

Even the countdown rewards were nothing to sneeze at.

Rita: …Well, thanks, I guess.

As she was thinking this, her phone beeped again. Ever since she got her three treasure chests, Samuel and Scarlett had been resurrected from the dead, constantly pestering her in the group about what she’d gotten.

[Scarlett Doesn’t Want to Know]: "Treasures! What do you want to eat? Mom’s coming back to cook for you!"

[Samuel Never Expected That]: "Daughter, you’ve made us so proud!! Daughter!! What treasures did you get?"

[Scary Strong Rita]: "Sit down, it’s just standard stuff."

[Scary Strong Rita]: "By the way, have you two joined any new guilds lately?"

She hadn’t seen these two during the last battle against The Taylor Family, and after the battle ended, they disappeared from her radar. Even Jameson couldn’t find anything.

When Scarlett and Samuel acted like they hadn’t seen her question, Rita grew even more curious.

[Rick, Widow Mode]: "Sis~ Wanna come stay at The Lopez Family? We’ve finished rebuilding here, you can choose any room. Let’s chat about Zoey."

Rita: What kind of strange story is this! It’s your widow mode, not mine!

[Rick, Widow Mode]: "@Samuel Never Expected That @Scarlett Doesn’t Want to Know Dad and Mom, do you want to come live at The Lopez Family? There’s no one here anymore, rooms are up for grabs."

Rita had been about to enter the dungeon for some practice, but seeing this message, she immediately turned around and headed for her bedroom. She quickly dove under the bed, leaving Nivalis to guard the house while she headed straight to Lania Kaia.

Once she entered the city, she used the "Wind Scythe Fast Run" service to send a letter to Polar Day City’s Maple Mu, informing her that her home on Blue Star had been taken over by her utterly unnecessary ex-husband!!

That mama’s boy makes me so mad!

…

After dealing with these small matters, Rita practically lived in the dungeon until February 8th, when she finally activated one-third of her light wings—this was only thanks to her growing proficiency.

Now, every time she flapped her orange-red wings, she could hear a faint sizzling sound of electricity. Upon closer inspection, there were golden currents flickering within the light feathers.

Unfortunately, Cheers hadn’t leveled up that quickly. Right now, she could only throw a few small lightning balls that were poorly formed. She couldn’t control when they exploded, and their blast radius was weak—definitely weaker than her Explosive Drummer.

She left the dungeon to freshen up because tonight was New Year’s Eve, and she was heading to the villa next door for the family reunion dinner.

She mainly wanted to check things out. Recently, when Scarlett and Samuel returned, she noticed their levels had risen, but their attributes had dropped noticeably, and their faces had aged quite a bit. There was no sign of abnormality in their condition.

But Nivalis had told her she smelled a curse on them, so she planned to have Nivalis take a closer look tonight.

At that moment, Rita couldn’t describe her emotions—it was almost a sense of "finally, it’s happening."

And not only had they returned, but they had even brought Eleanor back with them!

The old lady had a few bodyguards in tow, but they had all stayed in a hotel instead of living in The Wilson Family’s house.

When Rita heard Scarlett mention that Eleanor had come, she was completely stunned and privately messaged her.

[Rita]: "Granny, did you forgive your son?"

[Eleanor]: "No."

[Rita]: "Then what’s this about?"

[Eleanor]: "Just came to see you."

[Rita]: "Tell me the truth, don’t play games."

[Eleanor]: "On the 8th, Eclipse Vanguard plans to negotiate with Black Jade for the last time. If they don’t cooperate, they’ll kill them. I’m here to help turn Black Jade into dinner."
