Chapter 21
As dinner came to an end, Su Yitong didn’t mention that she was already a player. Instead, she promised to inform them as soon as she had any news. If Yu Xunge entered the game again, she wanted to be notified as well. She still had to rush back to set up the defense system for the Su family. Recently, her attribute points had dropped by one again. Her brother said it might be temporary, a result of the game’s instability, but she felt otherwise. After all, how come her two brothers hadn’t lost any attribute points?
After sending Su Yitong off, Yu Xunhuan returned to the private room, her expression slightly cold.
“What’s wrong?” Yu Xunge asked with concern.
Yu Xunhuan shook her head and whispered, “She’s definitely a player. She’s hiding it from us.”
Yu Qingshan raised an eyebrow. “What makes you say that? Do you have any evidence?”
Yu Xunhuan pressed her lips together. “She has an injury on her ear—her entire right ear is gone. She had it on the fifth, and when we met again on the fourteenth, she had changed her hairstyle. There were no bandages, no ointment. She must have used something from the game. That healing potion—doesn’t it heal wounds?”
Yu Xunge shrugged. “I only had that one bottle. I gave it to you; I’ve never used it myself.”
Yu Xunhuan sighed in frustration. “Why didn’t you buy a few more?” After saying that, she couldn’t help but think that she was really starting to consider Yu Xunge as family.
“Damn it! Did you hear that?! I’ll have someone cut off half of it for you! You’ll be left with just 4.5 centimeters!”
Yu Xunge maintained her smile, angrily downing a cup of cola.
After dealing with Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan, Yu Xunge didn’t rush back to the villa to study. Today, Su Yitong’s glasses had given her a huge sense of crisis.
The Soros mask no longer provided her with a sense of security. Although now, items below S-rank couldn’t reveal the modified information behind the mask, what if? What if someone got lucky and found an S-rank detection item during the first internal test?
Rationally, she knew it was impossible. In her previous life, the best detection item she had seen was only A-rank, on par with the Soros glasses. But she couldn’t take that risk. The thought of someone potentially discovering her talents made her restless.
Weren’t detection items and equipment supposed to be rare? How did Liang Yuchuan manage to get an A-rank detection item during the first internal test, while Su Yitong got an unknown rank detection item during the second?
She couldn’t bear to think about it. If someone used an S-rank detection item on her, the next moment, her personal panel would light up above her head, and anyone who looked would see that the number of her divine talents was almost equal to her attribute points.
Yu Xunge tossed and turned in bed until midnight, unable to sleep at all.
Finally, she got up and started packing her bags.
She decided to go find the male lead’s third woman tomorrow. With the Soros mask with the main wife and the glasses with the second, the last piece might just be with the youngest one.
She naturally knew the male lead’s little wife. Although she had lost out by appearing late, her influence was no less than that of the Su and Liang families. The Han family’s power was in B City. In the second year of the game invasion, the Han family was driven out of B City by several other families and retreated to S City, where they had laid their plans early on.
She wanted to ask, was S City a junkyard? How could they just retreat like that?
But it was still dark outside. After returning, Yu Xunge hadn’t even earned any gold coins today. She transformed into a goblin, crafted three gold coins, and then went invisible to sneak under Su Yitong’s bed. No one was there.
She searched around and thought, fine, the two brothers from the Su family would do. A thief doesn’t leave empty-handed, right?
She had been quite bold lately. After discovering that the Su family’s visibility potion was only basic, she occasionally drank the advanced invisibility potion and wandered around the Su house.
She turned onto the floor where her two brothers were. She had considered stealing from them before, but one was a domineering CEO and the other an athlete, rarely home. Today, however, the second brother, Su Jinxuan, was indeed there. This was the first time she had seen him at home since the second internal test.
In her previous life, Su Jinxuan had been an archer. Before the game invasion, he was a top archer athlete, and within a month of the game’s launch, he became the Su family’s top combat power.
How could the male lead not be bullied? Su Jinxuan was the one who loved to pick on him the most, always stepping on him whenever he could.
In female-centric novels, there are always terrible sisters-in-law; in the male lead’s story, there’s the terrible brother-in-law.
Before marriage, they could maintain basic etiquette, but after, everything just felt off.
But the male lead had the female lead to protect him. Sometimes, Su Jinxuan couldn’t go too far, so he would come after her instead.
Yu Xunge thought: What does it matter to her?!
Occasionally, Yu Xunhuan would bring Yu Xunge to participate in the Su family’s group activities, claiming it was to repay her sister, but now Yu Xunge felt it was more like pushing her out to attract fire.
During monster hunts, Su Jinxuan would make her go ahead to lure the monsters, and sometimes he would even shoot arrows that missed, moving so slowly that anyone could easily dodge them. But she would end up getting hurt by the monsters while trying to avoid those arrows.
She wasn’t without her temper. In her previous life, after every group activity, she would tell Yu Xunhuan not to call her again. Even if the Su family distributed materials or equipment based on contribution points after a dungeon run, she could take her time to gather them.
Every time this happened, Yu Xunhuan would take his share of the loot and say sorry, claiming he just wanted to help his sister and that he really wanted family around him… then he would complain about Su Jinxuan, even discussing his skills and personality, advising her to avoid him…
At that time, Yu Xunge felt both touched and helpless, but mostly angry. So you’re the one suffering, and you want me to suffer too? Are you the one who’s married in, or am I?
But now, after seeing through Yu Xunhuan’s true nature and examining these strange behaviors, she couldn’t help but wonder if Yu Xunhuan was trying to provoke her hatred for Su Jinxuan, guiding her to play his role and replace him. Later, when she didn’t follow his lead, he stopped inviting her to the Su family’s activities.
Damn it, could it be that the conflict between her and the Liang and Han families was also stirred up by Yu Xunhuan?
If that’s the case, why not just tell me directly!!!
She didn’t actively harm others, but she had no moral bottom line. Once you said something and persuaded her, wouldn’t she agree?!
Yu Xunge glared at Su Jinxuan on the bed, growing angrier by the minute.
Anyway, the Olympics had already passed, and the next one wouldn’t be for another 80 years. She didn’t have to carry heavy thoughts when she took action. First, she used the [Fate Wheel] on Su Jinxuan to modify his luck to 1, then began repeatedly using [I Want This, This, and This].
Tonight, she didn’t plan to sleep. After dealing with Su Jinxuan, she would go check on Liang Yuchuan and then drive straight to the airport.
After stealing for over an hour, she managed to take 3 agility points and 1 intelligence point from Su Jinxuan, feeling satisfied as she stopped.
[Intelligence]: 11 + 1
[Agility]: 85 + 3
Just the agility attribute alone was already comparable to a level 2 player who had maxed out agility.
But she was still at level 0.
**Chapter 25: Han Family**
Yu Xunge didn’t intend to go too hard on Su Jinxuan, as he would eventually die at the hands of the male lead. He liked Liang Yuchuan, so he had to die, right?
Not only that, but before his death, he had caused the male lead a lot of trouble—framing him, squeezing him, mocking him, stealing from him, and so on, comparable to a gender-swapped version of a terrible sister-in-law…
After stealing 4 attribute points, Yu Xunge immediately started searching Su Jinxuan for any equipment.
And she found something—a plain cloth belt. Wearing it gave her +1 constitution. She didn’t look down on that little boost; it was just that the belt was so dirty… it looked like it had been soaked in pig fat for ten years and then dried in the wind.
This was a cloth belt, and pulling it out felt like pulling out a leather belt.
Forget it, she couldn’t be too proud. She tossed the belt into her backpack; it could at least sell for a few dozen silver coins.
After leaving the Su family, Yu Xunge hurried to Liang Yuchuan’s wardrobe. Recently, the Liang family had also installed a visibility potion spray device, but like the Su family, it was only a basic visibility potion.
After all, spraying the entire estate with potions every day consumed an astonishing amount; where would they get so many intermediate potions?
Recently, Liang Yuchuan had been having a tough time. She knew modern technology couldn’t fix her hand, and she was unwilling to use a prosthetic, so she had been frantically searching for players. Not only that, but she had also gotten many of her trusted subordinates to join the game.
At the same time, she suspected it had something to do with Liang Hui. Otherwise, why did Liang Hui die on the same day she lost her hand? With the Soros glasses, she naturally understood that the other party was also a player, but she hadn’t called it out.
However, after sending people to investigate everyone Liang Hui had recently met, they found nothing.
With no progress, during the second internal test, she discovered that her game character was also missing a forearm. Liang Yuchuan’s mental state had become extremely frightening; apart from her family, almost no one dared to approach her.
After stealing for over an hour, Liang Yuchuan also yielded, giving her +1 constitution.
She immediately returned to her villa, downed a large cup of coffee, then prepared three big bowls of meat dishes and placed them in front of the cat’s nest. After patting the three little cat heads, she left the villa and personally drove to the airport.
Although she could directly use her shadow teleportation to get to the airport, she pretended not to have that skill for anything that wasn’t malicious, allowing anyone who wanted to track her to find something.
At the airport, she told Yu Qingshan and the others that she was going to Beijing. She had found information about a suspected player on the forum, and she was going to check it out.
Yu Qingshan and the others believed her without a doubt.
While waiting for her flight, she closed her eyes and replayed the video of the necromancer mentor crafting basic potions in her mind.
