Universe Infinite Canteen-Chapter 431: Good Mood
After the Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor finished speaking, all eleven people present fell into deep thought.
These five options... Is there any difference? They all just seem like things ordinary people do after work.
Soon, the 30 seconds were up, and Mouse Masked Man was the first to respond.
"Umm... I choose to browse short videos, no no no, let’s choose the second option to watch a movie instead, no, no, um... read web novels, I like reading web novels."
"Reading web novels, confirmed meow, Rat Owner?"
Mouse Masked Man’s fingers rapidly tapped on the table, "Or maybe watch the movie instead, yeah, watch the movie, I choose to watch a movie."
"Alright meow, choosing to watch a popular movie after work meow, and really liked it after watching, Mood Value +10 meow."
Upon hearing this, Mouse Masked Man clenched his left hand and swung a fist fiercely, excitedly exclaiming, "Passed!"
With his correct example, the next three participants, Ox, Tiger, and Rabbit, also chose to watch a movie, each enhancing their Mood Value by +10.
When it was Dragon’s turn, he hesitated before saying, "I choose to work out."
"After working out, the body feels very tired, but also quite accomplished, Mood Value +3 meow, next master please…"
"Wait," the muscle man wearing the Dragon Mask interrupted the Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor, "Why does working out only add 3 points to the Mood Value, while watching a movie adds 10?"
"This meow told you, because working out makes the body feel tired and uses up energy, so the Mood Value only increases by +3 points meow~"
"I’m different, I’m a fitness coach, working out gives me a very strong sense of satisfaction."
The muscle man wearing the Dragon Mask recalled the resort owner’s boss tactic that previously added 40 points to the Mood Value and quickly made a case.
However, this time the cute Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor just shook her head.
"This meow already asked everyone earlier if anyone wanted to score separately meow, but the Dragon Master did not come forward then, so now it’s too late meow.
"You’d have to wait two rounds later, it wouldn’t be fair to other players if we change scoring only when someone sees an unsatisfactory result meow~"
Hearing this, the man wearing the Dragon Mask felt his heart sink, but at that point, he was out of options and just had to accept his bad luck.

After him came those with the Snake, Sheep, and Monkey who all followed suit and chose to watch a movie, each gaining 10 points to their Mood Value, and this only made the man wearing the Dragon Mask even more anxious.
Because if the remaining people all chose like this, there’s no doubt that he would be the one with the lowest Mood Value at the end of the first round.
Then he would likely face punishment, or even get eliminated directly.
The man wearing the Dragon Mask now regretted not choosing to score separately.

Luckily, when it was Chicken’s turn, he made a different choice.
"I want to sprawl on the bed and browse short videos."
The man wearing the Dragon Mask hoped this option would add fewer Mood Points than his, or even deduct points, so he wouldn’t be the one with the least.
However, the Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor pulled out two bouquets and began to dance.
"Such a great choice meow, congratulations Chicken Owner, Mood Value +30 meow~"
"Ah?"
"Ah?!!"
The room was filled with exclamations of surprise again. Actually, many people had considered choosing to browse short videos before the man wearing the Chicken Mask had, but were afraid of making the wrong choice and lowering their Mood Value.
In the end, they followed the majority and chose to watch movies, not expecting to miss out on the jackpot.
With the man wearing the Chicken Mask leading the way, both Yi Xiaxia and the man wearing the Pig Mask also chose to browse short videos. Yi Xiaxia had hesitated and wanted to choose studying.
Because she thought learning new things was also a happy activity, but the Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor had already made it clear that the first two rounds would not score separately based on personal situations, thus Yi Xiaxia ended up following Brother Ji in browsing short videos.
Once everyone had chosen, the Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor spoke again, "Hmm, Minna-san all made wonderful choices meow. Since it’s to help everyone get familiar with the game, let’s just end the first round here meow~"
"Masters enjoyed their leisure time and then went to bed, having a pleasant day, now we enter the scoring phase meow, Rat Owner’s Mood Value 25, Ox Owner’s Mood Value 95, so amazing meow, the happiest person meow~
"Tiger Owner 25, Rabbit Owner 65, Dragon Owner 18 meow~"
The man wearing the Dragon Mask clearly looked nervous, because with the last person having made their choice, everyone’s Mood Value was final, and he was the last one, uncertain of what punishment lay ahead.
Meanwhile, the man wearing the Ox Mask was overjoyed since he had the highest Mood Value of everyone, assuming he’d probably receive some sort of reward.
However, contrary to both their expectations, even after the Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor announced the last person’s Mood Value, there was neither mention of reward nor punishment.
She simply bowed and said, "Masters, you’ve worked hard meow, a new day is about to begin. Please everyone, strive to become happier meow~ Cheers, Minna-san!"
That’s it?
All eleven were baffled.
There was no reward or punishment in this game, only very everyday events and options for everyone to choose from. Everyone had been cautious earlier, worrying about consequences if their Mood Value was lower than others.
But after one round ended, nothing happened.
So what is the point of this game? And how does one even win?
The man wearing the Mouse Mask then raised his hand again, "I, I have another question."
"Hmm, Rat Owner, please speak meow~"
"Next round, is it still the same order of answering? Isn’t this a bit unfair since the people answering later clearly benefit more, being able to avoid the wrong choices by learning from those who go before them~"
The Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor tilted her head to think, "Well, since only the first two rounds are the same for everyone, I thought we’d just make do meow.
"But since the Rat Owner brought it up, and what you say makes sense meow, let’s reverse the order next round meow~"
"Ah, why?"
As soon as the Virtual Beauty Anchor said this, the man wearing the Pig Mask immediately objected, not wanting to be the first to make a choice.
"Isn’t this rule too favorable for those in the middle? No matter how it rotates, they will always have others to refer to."
"The Pig Owner makes a point."
The Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor nodded again, and just as the man wearing the Pig Mask sighed in relief, he heard her continue.
"But life meow, is never fair, you see~ So Pig Owner, you will start the next round meow."
Having said that, she gave a sweet smile towards the stunned man in the Pig Mask.
"Second round, a new day has dawned meow, everyone had insomnia last night, only fell asleep at 4 am, everyone’s Mood Value -20."
