Chapter 10
With a cup of iced coffee in hand, Yu Xunge donned her mask, wrapped her hair tightly in a swim cap to ensure not a single strand would escape, and finally slipped on a pair of gloves. Only then did she gulp down the invisibility potion and set off towards the Liang family estate, ten kilometers away, treating it as a chance to squeeze in some exercise.
She had tried drinking the invisibility potion while sitting in a car, hoping to make the vehicle itself invisible, but perhaps the potion's energy was limited; it couldn't extend its effects to larger objects. She had even attempted it on an electric bike, but that failed too. A skateboard worked, but what was the difference between that and a bell?
After completing the ten-kilometer run, she hid in the bushes to wait for the potion's cooldown to end. She had nothing to lose; she had learned alchemy just to brew potions for herself.
When playing games, she was reluctant to use anything valuable, hoarding the best items as if they were treasures. In her backpack, she would keep them until she quit the game. But in reality, as long as it reduced her risk of being discovered, she would exhaust all available resources.
The Liang family villa could easily be called a mansion. Compared to the Liang estate, her own modest villa worth fifty million yuan was merely a scrap in the corner of the neighborhood, akin to a security booth at the entrance of an ordinary community.
Outside the towering iron gates, equipped with various surveillance and sensing devices, Yu Xunge drank the basic invisibility potion that would render her intangible for fifteen seconds and walked straight through the gates into the Liang estate.
After another ten minutes of running, she finally reached the main building of the Liang family.
Yu Xunge was genuinely impressed.
Was it really necessary to chase after someone like me, with an A-grade talent, for so long?
She first headed to the two adjacent small buildings to find her "Fate Gear." The driver and housekeeper were both long-term residents of the Liang family, as the owners could call for them at any moment. Their living conditions were indeed quite luxurious.
She hid in a storage room, waiting for the invisibility potion's cooldown to pass. After replenishing her supply, she continued her mission.
Using the invisibility potion without hesitation, Yu Xunge quickly found her "Fate Gear" in a bedroom on the second floor of the annex. Standing by the bed, she looked at the young man lying there and activated the skill "I Want This, This, and This."
The message indicated a successful use but a failed theft. Not wasting any time trying to steal items or attributes, she swiftly drew a knife from her backpack and slashed the young man's throat. His eyes widened in shock, staring at the two blood-stained white fingers that had appeared out of nowhere, but he couldn't make a sound. In his hand, he now held a basic healing potion, which Yu Xunge deftly flicked into her own grasp with the knife's tip.
Before long, the young man on the bed lay still, his eyes wide open, devoid of life.
She searched his body and found a small, worn-out pouch with four compartments. It was a common style for such small bags, and inside were a couple of meager potions and a pouch containing two silver coins.
Yu Xunge activated the skill "Death Imitation Show": Designate a target who has died by your hand to mimic their divine talent. At any given time, you can only designate one target; switching targets will cause the previously mimicked divine talent to disappear.
Soon, she felt a new divine skill added to her repertoire: "Fate Gear" (B-grade).
While waiting for the cooldown, she used the Soros mask to modify her character panel information, swapping her divine talent for "Fate Gear" (B-grade).
Once done, she removed her gloves, stained with blood, washed her hands with alcohol-based sanitizer to rid herself of the scent, and put on another pair of gloves before drinking the invisibility potion again, heading towards the main building.
Using the same method, she located Liang Yuchuan's room. She crawled under the little princess's bed, her movements so practiced they were almost painful to watch.
It was only 4 PM; young people from wealthy families were still young. She doubted Liang Yuchuan would get up before 7, giving her about three hours to steal.
First, she used "Fate Gear" to change Liang Yuchuan's luck to 1 with the skill "How Lucky You Are," and then began the cycle of "I Want This, This, and This"—eating meat, drinking potions, and restoring health—over and over.
The Fate Gear was truly insidious!
No wonder it had tormented her for so long.
After reducing her luck to 1, in just one hour, Yu Xunge managed to steal two items, a pouch, and three attribute points.
[Soros Set · Glasses (2/3) (A-grade)]: When worn, it allows you to probe the target's character data panel (specific information about divine talents cannot be probed). Each additional piece of the Soros set increases the information you can probe. Currently, you can see the target's equipment names and quantities.
These were the gold-framed glasses that Liang Yuchuan often wore in her previous life, and they turned out to be a probing tool.
Although she had been part of the male and female leads' team in her past life, she had always been excluded, seen as the male lead's impoverished relative, with no right to know their information.
Yu Xunge cherished the glasses, placing them carefully in her backpack. They were a treasure, unmarked and of a very ordinary style.
Moreover, wearing the glasses along with the mask enhanced the mask's concealment function.
[Soros Set · Mask (2/3) (A-grade)]: When used, it disguises your character panel information. The effect activates once the item is stored in your backpack. If the mask is dropped, the disguise is nullified. (Currently cannot be successfully probed by items below S-grade. Note: Each additional piece of the Soros set increases the concealment level by 1.)
She even suspected that the last Soros item was with the male lead's third girlfriend.
Was this a set? It was a symbol of the female leads' identities!
[Endless Coffee (D-grade)]: Contains an endless supply of coffee, 500ml/cup. Drinking it restores a total of 500 mana points, and you can refill once every 24 hours.
This was practically an infinite mana potion!
It was rated D-grade mainly because of its long cooldown.
However, this cooldown did not overlap with the mana potion's cooldown, making it extremely valuable. When her mana potion was on cooldown, she could easily drink coffee to replenish her mana.
The pouch contained only three gold coins.
But something was better than nothing.
As for the three attribute points, they were all in [Agility].
In her previous life, Liang Yuchuan had a skill that allowed her to merge with water, taking on an assassin's path. In the rain, she was like a god of death, appearing from nowhere with each drop, earning her the title of the God of Assassins.
She had a significant voice in Yu Xunhuan's team.
Liang Yuchuan's mind was also not quite right; she actually believed Yu Xunhuan's words, thinking she had an unhealthy obsession with her brother and even attempted to replace herself or Su Yitong with her own talent, all to be with Yu Xunhuan.
How could she believe such nonsense?!
Her bounty was issued by Liang Yuchuan; not only did she demand Yu Xunge alive, but she also offered rewards for her limbs, almost explicitly stating that as long as Yu Xunge's limbs were severed while keeping her alive, they could sell her for a pretty penny!
Yu Xunge endured her hatred and continued stealing until 7 PM.
After acquiring three points in agility and two in strength, she finally stopped.
Now her agility had reached 85, and her strength was at 7.
In total, she had stolen eight attribute points from Liang Yuchuan, nearly equivalent to the benefits of leveling up twice.
**Chapter 12: A Bit of Interest**
After restoring her health to full, Yu Xunge used her disguise skill to transform into Su Yitong's appearance. She didn't expect such a low-level trap to work, but it was better than using her own face.
She put on a baseball cap to cover her swim cap, took out a hatchet, and then drank the basic invisibility potion.
Carefully crawling out from under the bed, she approached the bedside.
She had intended to behead Liang Yuchuan, but upon seeing a black metal collar around her neck, she hesitated. This collar had been a constant accessory for Liang Yuchuan in her previous life, and it had an equipment slot. Given Liang Yuchuan's abilities, it was impossible for her not to acquire necklace-type equipment. The only explanation was that this collar was indeed an item, and a high-level one at that. How had she missed stealing it?
Even if it wasn't a collar, with her strength at 7, she couldn't guarantee that a single swing of the hatchet would sever this well-crafted metal collar from Liang Yuchuan's neck.
Without further hesitation, Yu Xunge aimed for Liang Yuchuan's right arm. She leaped high, using all her strength to bring the hatchet down.
The God of Assassins, huh?!
In an instant, the hatchet severed Liang Yuchuan's right forearm, all happening in less than a second.
Blood splattered across Yu Xunge's face, revealing her eyes disguised as Su Yitong's, locking onto Liang Yuchuan's gaze filled with fear and hatred.
In almost a heartbeat, Liang Yuchuan activated her skill, merging into the blood on the bed, leaving only her forearm behind.
This was why Yu Xunge had given up on directly killing Liang Yuchuan after realizing she couldn't behead her; it was just too difficult. Whether she transformed into water or was in water, Liang Yuchuan could slowly heal, making her practically a bug!
Would fear cause someone to lose focus? No, for those with combat talents, fear and pain only made them flee faster.
Not only that, but Liang Yuchuan's room was filled with several cups of water, and even under the bed were a few bowls of water. Even if Yu Xunge managed to stab Liang Yuchuan's heart or knock her out first, she would still have a few seconds to escape.
It could only be said that once divine talents reached S-grade, there were no weaknesses.
But leaving behind a forearm, specifically the right forearm, was still a win for her.
Once a character is digitized, even if they suffer severe injuries, they can heal the wounds through health restoration, but they cannot create missing body parts out of thin air. If an arm or leg is severed, unless those parts are retrieved and reattached, they would remain in a state of disability.
