Infinite Cosmic Cafeteria Chapter 51: Super Imitation Show

There was no rush to test the poison, so Ma Lu decided to choose a blessing first.

This time, there were two golden blessings, but unfortunately, he could only select one.

Ma Lu first looked at the first blessing.

【Bone-Clinging Poison: The continuous damage caused by the poison effect from each attack of the team members is doubled, and there is a 50% chance that the target will be poisoned again after the duration ends.】

This golden blessing was still related to poison, and its effect was very powerful. Theoretically, as long as luck was on your side, the poison could keep being reapplied, and the continuous damage would also be doubled.

Unfortunately, Ma Lu couldn’t use it. The 【Harmless Handling】 purple blessing had sacrificed all continuous damage from poisoning in exchange for quadrupling the speed of poison stacking.

But this meant that the damage boost from 【Bone-Clinging Poison】 became useless. Only the 50% chance of reapplying poison could have some effect, but even that was quite limited.

In short, even if both were related to poison, they didn’t necessarily belong to the same build.

Ma Lu’s current build was centered around the purple blessing 【Poison Stacking】, with other blessings chosen to trigger the effect of 【Poison Stacking】 as quickly as possible, leading to a massive one-time damage burst.

However, 【Bone-Clinging Poison】 focused on enhancing the continuous damage of the poison effect.

The two didn’t quite complement each other.

So, Ma Lu shifted his attention to the second golden blessing.

【Super Imitation Show: Designate a target and imitate its abilities, automatically meeting the activation conditions. The imitation lasts for 30 seconds with a 2-hour cooldown.】

This blessing seemed rather interesting.

With it, Ma Lu could mimic Setta's sand golems, or Senqi's thorns, or even Bocchi’s... well, maybe not Bocchi’s abilities.

But it seemed most worthwhile to mimic Mai Mai's electric field.

Ma Lu had witnessed the power of the electric field firsthand—it was a terrifying ability, certified by Captain Li.

Moreover, with a 2-hour cooldown, it meant Ma Lu could release the electric field once every two hours.

Thinking of this, Ma Lu immediately realized how valuable this blessing was.

Unfortunately, this hunt was nearing its end, so he probably only had one chance to enjoy this.

Even so, Ma Lu didn’t hesitate to choose 【Super Imitation Show】.

Hogg had been stunned for a while now. The six of them had been struggling in a fierce battle against a single Lava Lizard, while on the other side, Bocchi and the other two had already won effortlessly.

It had only been less than ten minutes since the Double Sunflower Hunting Party had arrived here, and to make matters worse, the death of that Lava Lizard had caused the one they were fighting to go berserk.

It opened its mouth and began spewing lava wildly.

The members of the Sky Hunting Party scrambled to dodge, and Hogg had no choice but to speak up again, turning to Bocchi.

“Could you help us out a little more?”

Hogg’s expression was a bit awkward, probably because he knew that this request was somewhat excessive. The Double Sunflower Hunting Party had already helped them take down one Lava Lizard, alleviating much of the pressure, yet they still couldn’t handle the remaining one.

Seeing Bocchi hesitate, Hogg quickly added, “The Lava Lizard you killed should rightfully belong to you according to the Hunter's Code. If you're willing to help us again, we'll give you half of this one too.”

Upon hearing this, Setta’s eyes widened. The Lava Lizard was highly sought after by diners due to its unique flavor, which came from soaking in lava baths. Its rarity and difficulty to hunt made it extremely valuable.

Setta didn’t expect Hogg to be so generous, offering them half of the Lava Lizard. After all, they were the ones who had first discovered these two lizards.

But just discovering them wasn’t enough. The Sky Hunting Party clearly didn’t have the strength to hunt these two Lava Lizards, with two members already seriously injured. If Bocchi and the others hadn’t arrived, they didn’t know how many of them would have made it back toThe Giant Screen alive.

It seemed Hogg really had no way of dealing with the Lava Lizard.

Under normal circumstances, they might have been able to handle the opponent in front of them, but the Sky Hunting Party had been battling the two Lava Lizards for too long, and everyone looked exhausted. Theirpsychic ability was nearly depleted.

If this dragged on any longer, it could cost lives, so Hogg had no choice but to once again ask for help from the Double Sunflower Hunting Party.

Setta had been waiting for Bocchi’s command, and when he saw Bocchi nod, he immediately let out a cheer and controlled his sand golems to join the attack on the remaining Lava Lizard.

His sister, Senqi, followed closely behind, and Bocchi, the main poison dealer, hurried to join them as well.

Ma Lu and Mai Mai, acting like a sightseeing group, leisurely followed behind.

Ma Lu was about to use 【Super Imitation Show】 to borrow Mai Mai’s electric field when he suddenly noticed Mai Mai had stopped in her tracks.

“Something’s not right!”

“What’s wrong?”

“They’re wearing insulated boots,” Mai Mai realized only when she got closer.

As the two were speaking, they saw a member of the Sky Hunting Party stumble while dodging lava, and he happened to be near Setta. Setta instinctively reached out to support him.

The next moment, the man drew a dagger hidden in his sleeve. Setta’s gaze was still fixed on the airborne lava, completely unaware that the person he had just saved would turn on him.

Thus, his enhanced speed and reflexes were of no use.

It wasn’t until he felt a sharp pain in his chest that Setta’s eyes shifted from excitement to bewilderment.

“Brother!”

Setta heard a scream, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his sister’s terrified face. His throat moved as if he wanted to say something.

But the next second, the assailant had already pulled the dagger from his heart.

Setta’s vision darkened, and his body slumped powerlessly to the ground.

“Attack!” Hogg commanded in a low voice, displaying none of his earlier panic or embarrassment. “Kill them all!”

Apart from the two who were still holding off the Lava Lizard, the rest turned around in unison.

They quickly put on insulated gloves. It was obvious that beneath their hunting gear, they were also wearing insulated suits.

At that moment, Bocchi, Mai Mai, and Ma Lu immediately realized that these people were targeting them.

They were clearly well-acquainted with the composition of the Double Sunflower Hunting Party and knew about Mai Mai’s powerful electric field, so they had come prepared.

Bocchi tried to distance himself from the attackers, but Senqi had already lost control and was rushing towards where her brother had fallen, launching almost all of her thorns in a single breath.

However, the attackers were prepared. Just as Senqi raised her hand, a girl with a pointed face immediately activated her psychic ability.

She controlled four massive steel shields, blocking the incoming thorns.

It was clear they had done extensive research on the Double Sunflower Hunting Party, familiarizing themselves with each member’s characteristics and attack methods.

A smug expression appeared on the pointed-face girl’s face, but her satisfaction didn’t last long.

Though she had easily blocked Senqi’s psychic ability attack, the latter still possessed speed, strength, and reaction capabilities enhanced by Roguelike's Enhancement.

Senqi sprinted with all her might, reaching the assassin in no time.
