Chapter 27
As soon as the person left, Yu Xunge turned on all the humidifiers in her room filled with visibility potions. She not only added high-grade visibility potions but also ensured there was enough liquid for the humidifiers to work for a week. Only then did she drive away from S City, making her way to Jiangcheng, a staggering four thousand kilometers away. Whenever possible, she avoided the highways, opting for smaller roads instead—after all, if she teleported onto a highway and got hit by a car upon arrival, what would she do? She feared she might die with regrets.
She treated it like navigating a map, taking this route now so that she could teleport to more places in the future.
Fortunately, over the years of acting, she had traveled to most cities.
Halfway through her journey, Yu Xunge could barely hold on. Not only did she wrap the white belt she received from Su Jinxuan, which boosted her stamina, around her waist, but she also had to stop occasionally to prepare meals to regain her energy.
Finally, she arrived in Jiangcheng on the morning of the 9th. Without wasting any time, she found a hotel, took a long shower, and slept soundly.
At 7 AM on the 10th, Yu Xunge made a video call to Yi Qiuguo, showing her the scenery of Jiangcheng and asking if they wanted any local specialties. She reminded them to keep an eye on their brother's phone, and after chatting for about ten minutes, they hung up.
Once the call ended, Yu Xunge began her teleportation back to S City...
Over four thousand kilometers, with her current intelligence of 14, she could only teleport a maximum of 14 kilometers at a time. Given that this distance wasn’t on a highway and wasn’t the shortest route, she estimated she would need to teleport at least 300 times, all while maintaining the illusion spell.
After 50 teleports, Yu Xunge felt a bit dizzy.
After 100 teleports, she felt nauseous.
She stopped to drink some coffee to replenish her mana and ate some food to boost her mental strength.
120... 150...
After 200 teleports, Yu Xunge collapsed on the ground, retching for a long time.
It was still not even 8 AM, but instead of feeling relieved, a chill crept into her heart.
She had left so early, even factoring in her rest time, yet still faced unexpected setbacks.
It felt as if an invisible force was preventing her from returning to S City smoothly. Especially after reaching the halfway point, her teleportations always deviated slightly. Even though she could teleport a straight line of 14 kilometers, she kept veering left, then left again, like running into a wall.
Gritting her teeth, she pressed on!
Yu Xunghuan had good fortune, but she was at full luck today!
She was determined to crawl back to S City, and if she couldn’t stop Yu Xunghuan from entering the game, she would just kill her directly!!!
After 300 teleports, she was still over 500 kilometers away from S City.
Yu Xunge spat out a mouthful of blood.
A status effect labeled "Weakened" appeared beside her character.
For the next 24 hours, her attributes would be reduced by 20%.
Alright, fine.
Yu Xunge scooped the blood off the ground into a bag and swallowed the fresh blood with her mana-replenishing coffee.
9 AM.
There was still time!
At 10:07 AM, Yu Xunge entered the vicinity of S City. She replenished her mana and prepared to knock Yu Xunghuan unconscious the moment she entered her villa.
10:10 AM!
With a mouthful of blood, Yu Xunge teleported into Yu Xunghuan's room!
The room was empty!
Fury ignited in Yu Xunge's eyes.
But the angrier she got, the calmer she became in urgent moments.
Even though her body and mind were filled with fear and regret, her head and heart remained cool.
She pulled out her phone and downloaded "World of Warcraft: The Fear Rift" using her data.
Yes, Yu Xunghuan wouldn’t want anyone to know about her divine talent, not even her parents.
So where could she be?
Yu Family?
At 10:11 AM, the invisible Yu Xunge appeared in Yu Xunghuan's room at the Yu Family.
No one?
Yu Xunghuan's apartment? No, Ye Dong was there, so that was impossible.
Then...
Yu Xunge stepped out of the room and headed to the study, drank a phasing potion, and walked through the wall.
In the Yu Family's secret chamber, Yu Xunghuan sat on a wooden box, her face filled with ecstatic joy as she stared at her phone.
Just then, Yu Xunge saw the moonlight reflecting off the screen.
In that moment, her soul screamed in madness—kill her now, or she would soar to new heights!!!
But in the next second, she was surprised by her own calmness, greed, and madness.
She thought, perhaps the words she had once told herself were just excuses—what she said about not letting him have it too easy, about an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth? None of it mattered. Perhaps from the moment she drew the "Thief God" card, no, even in her past life, she had been coveting Yu Xunghuan's divine talent!
Even if he hadn’t told anyone about all his divine skills, it was a talent that could incite the three great families to fight over it, a talent that could make three proud heirs from the top families willing to set aside their pride to coexist peacefully for him...
She didn’t believe Yu Xunghuan was that charming, that three top-tier beauties would forget their dignity and pride to share him.
In an instant, she used "Fate's Wheel" on Yu Xunghuan to alter her luck, then left her shadow behind, merging it with Yu Xunghuan's shadow, before stepping out of the secret chamber and returning to her own bedroom.
Just a wall apart, she opened her game, and at the same time, through the perspective of her shadow, she saw Yu Xunghuan's game interface and her divine talent: 【Food God】 (SS level).
It felt like her mind was split in two—one side was as cold as ice, while the other was filled with fear, madness, and greed.
Yu Xunghuan's character appeared in the blood elf's main city, Silvermoon City.
Yu Xunge logged into her game, used a disguise to transform into a blood elf, and walked past the city gate plastered with wanted posters, where a skeleton and a goblin looked familiar.
She used a teleport to send her character to Silvermoon City.
The third internal test had begun, and the number of players logging in was exponentially higher than before. The city was bustling, almost overcrowded. If it weren’t for the fact that the alien forces couldn’t project yet, these main cities would probably be unable to accommodate so many people.
Yu Xunghuan's character curiously looked around the vast city.
She passed by inns, herb shops, and weapon stores, and walked past the statue of the elven king.
Yu Xunge followed in her footsteps, passing the identical inns and shops, walking past the same statue of the elven king. She brushed shoulders with Yu Xunghuan and used "Examine" on the silver-haired blood elf character.
【Character】Xunhuan
【Divine Talent】?
In the next second, she didn’t hesitate to use her skill!!
She was going to steal Yu Xunghuan's divine talent!
【In the name of the Thief God, you attempt to steal the talent of the elven player Xunhuan.】
【Theft successful—detected that the target's divine talent level is too high—the theft has been interrupted!】
Yu Xunge walked toward the city gate, simultaneously opening her task panel.
She saw that the skill 2 of 【Thief God】, 【The Thief of Thieves, also a Robber's Thief】, had turned into an unusable dark gray.
And below 【Immortal】, a new divine talent appeared: 【Food God】 (SS level) (incomplete).
When expanded, there were five skills, but only two were lit up.
When she had stolen from the undead city lord, she had managed to steal three skills at once, but Yu Xunghuan, with a luck of 1, could only manage to steal two.
She didn’t bother to read the skill descriptions but instead left the city, found the nearest graveyard to Silvermoon City, and used the explosives in her bag, throwing them at her character's feet. A few seconds later, the screen went dark—【You have died】.
【Chapter 35 【Food God】 (SS)! Theft!】
The next second, the screen lit up, and the ghostly blood elf appeared in the graveyard, while just a step away lay her own mangled corpse. She walked over, and the screen displayed 【Weak Resurrection】. She clicked confirm.
Then her character shifted from ethereal to solid, and the status beside her name changed from (Weak) to (Severely Weakened), with a countdown (47:59:59) following.
All her attributes were reduced to only 40% of their original values.
Yu Xunge re-entered Silvermoon City.
Through her shadow, she saw Yu Xunghuan accepting a quest, and the first quest was a series of high-level tasks.
A few minutes later, Yu Xunge found Yu Xunghuan again, matching the buildings on the screen.
【In the name of the Thief God, you attempt to steal the talent of the elven player Xunhuan.】
【Theft successful—detected that the target's divine talent level is too high—the theft has been interrupted!】
Yu Xunge glanced at the time: 10:57.
There was no time left, and now she was severely weakened. If she died again, who knew what would happen? She didn’t want to gamble with her life; she didn’t want her greed to cost her everything.
Even though the status of her game character hadn’t yet affected her body, after hundreds of teleports, both her body and mind were on the brink of collapse.
Yu Xunge maneuvered her character to the goblin area.
Finding wealthy goblins was no easy task. She searched through dozens of goblins, trading a little here and a little there, slowly accumulating until she finally exchanged for 10,000 gold.
At this point, her disguise time was down to just 5 minutes.
Yu Xunge immediately found the nearest city gate and ran out, but considering her current weakened state, she didn’t dare to run too far. Instead, she stood by the city wall between the two gates.
Then she chose to log off.
