Chapter 32
Yu Xunge was busy with her tasks, while Yu Qingshan finally caught his breath and sealed away the fragments of his shattered life. He felt optimistic; after all, his son had lost a significant part of his life yet remained undeterred, and his daughter was still searching for treatment methods. Who knows, she might even have the skill to repair items?! Miracles do happen!
From that day on, Yu Qingshan began to gather information about players.
Yi Qiuguo, on the other hand, had become the happiest person in the family, aside from Yu Xunge. Her son had married into a wealthy family, and their whole family had experienced unexpected fortune. She couldn’t think of a reason to be unhappy. As for what surname her future grandchildren would carry, she honestly didn’t care; they certainly wouldn’t be named Yi, so what difference did it make? She felt quite clear-headed about it.
She was just like those women online, living life with a clarity that was almost enviable.
The only regret she had was that her daughter no longer gave her money to spend.
Yu Xunge was also taken aback; her son had married into a wealthy family, yet he still came to her, an unemployed drifter, asking for money!
【Happy Qiuguo】: @Yu Xunge, dear daughter, I’ve got my eye on a handbag [shy]
Yu Xunge pressed and held the message, clicked on 【Quote】, and then tagged Yu Xunhuan.
【Yu Xunge】: @Yu Xunhuan, little brother, I’ve got my eye on a gun [shy]
She clicked on the wealthy son-in-law, hoping he would drop some gold coins.
Yu Xunhuan: “…”
Yu Xunhuan indeed had no shortage of money. It’s no wonder the Su family was considered wealthy; ever since he “married” into the Su family and became part of it, he received a direct transfer of 5 million every month as pocket money. He lived at home, and someone would buy or customize his clothes for him. This 5 million was purely for spending.
Living off someone else’s wealth was truly delightful!
Moreover, his wedding night had gone smoothly; the bed that Yu Xunge gifted him was indeed something special. Once the lights went out, they fought until dawn.
He had almost forgotten about the near disaster…
And Su Yitong seemed quite satisfied. Although she wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, she felt something was… off… but she didn’t dwell on it.
Thinking of this, Yu Xunhuan generously transferred 500,000 to each of the two women in his family.
Then he asked them to help him gather more information about the divine gifts, especially if anyone had received a divine gift they couldn’t use.
The two women readily agreed, filling the chat with “Sure, sure, boss, you can count on us!”
Their service attitude was as good as that of a top-notch restaurant.
Yu Qingshan also chimed in, sending money to the two women, asking them to help him find out if there were any skills or items for repairing objects.
Once again, the two women responded with a flurry of “Sure, sure, thank you, boss, you can count on us!”
Then they promptly forgot about the task.
A week later, when Yu Xunhuan and Yu Qingshan asked in the group if there were any updates, they were met with silence; both women were playing dead.
Yu Xunge pointed at her phone chat group, scolding herself: Yu Xunge, oh Yu Xunge, if you’re not the real deal, then who is?
**Chapter 40: Training**
Yu Xunge thought she shouldn’t provoke anyone too much, so she finally decided to speak up.
【Yu Xunge】: Just tell me if that bed is good or not?!
【Yu Xunhuan】: It’s okay, I guess.
【Yu Xunge】: Right?! Good things and good news are never easy to find.
Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo both asked, “What bed?”
Yu Xunge shared the information about the bed in the group, saying it was her wedding gift.
【Happy Qiuguo】: Is there another one? I want one too; your dad needs it.
【Depressed Qingshan】: ???
【Yu Xunge】: You thought it was cheap? It’s super expensive! It costs dozens of gold coins! Just look at how much silver coins are going for now; you’ll know the price of that bed.
Yu Qingshan had recently learned that silver coins were going for 10,000 each, and gold coins had skyrocketed in value.
【Depressed Qingshan】: I heard it takes a million to exchange for a gold coin, but I haven’t heard of anyone actually doing it.
【Happy Qiuguo】: A bed worth tens of millions?! That’s outrageous! You could buy a house with that! You’re stingy when it’s time to be generous, but when it’s not, you’re so willing to spend!
【Yu Xunhuan】: @Yu Xunge, thanks, sis~ If you find anything similar, please buy it for me first, and I’ll transfer the money to you later.
【Yu Xunge】: @Happy Qiuguo, isn’t this more important than a house for a rich woman? You know what I mean.
Yi Qiuguo fell silent. Even if she spoke up, Yu Xunge had no way to get her a matching bed.
If only she had stocked up on a few more of those beds back then!
Once the game invasion happened and the auction house feature opened, she could have resold those beds for a huge profit!
After putting her phone away, Yu Xunge felt a bit dazed for a moment. For a few seconds, she actually felt happiness. Sometimes, she even doubted whether her previous life had been a dream.
If she hadn’t endured the pain of being pinned down and bled out until Yu Xunhuan arrived, if that book hadn’t appeared in her mind at the brink of death, even if she had been reborn, she would have believed in them.
What an ordinary yet happy family they were! Her mother was quick-tempered but easily satisfied, sometimes appearing adorably naive; her father was gentle and good-natured, treating his children equally. They had given all their savings to their daughter, who, after earning money, would give back to her family, providing for her parents and brother, who saved his share to buy her a villa.
After the world changed, her brother would occasionally take her, his sister, to join the wealthy family’s team to fight monsters in dungeons… Even when his wife’s family hunted her down, he risked everything to warn her.
In her previous life, she had been deceived by this false sense of happiness, which was why she had always felt wronged…
Yu Xunge stared at the chat interface for a long time before snapping back to reality. She suddenly realized that she had been calmly chatting with these people for quite a while. Indeed, revenge had softened her heart; back when she had just been reborn, no matter how much she tried to convince herself to endure, her attitude couldn’t genuinely improve.
After putting her phone into her game backpack, she continued to practice her shooting.
Now, she wore a sports bra and a fitted tank top on her upper body, with long pants on the bottom. She had a small, worn bag with four compartments, containing two basic healing potions, a roll of emergency bandages that could continuously restore health, and her phone.
Two 35-slot bags, a potion bag, and other items were stored in the magician’s false teeth.
The most important item, the bound Soros pocket watch, was openly hung around her neck, tucked into her fitted clothing for security.
Being bound meant it couldn’t be lost or stolen, so anyone who touched the watch would only feel air, except for its owner.
To outsiders, it merely looked like she was wearing a silver necklace, and even if someone accidentally brushed against her chest, they wouldn’t feel anything.
Just as she was about to move, she suddenly paused. The coach looked at her curiously, and Yu Xunge smiled, saying she had just thought of something.
For a brief moment, she felt someone trying to divine her information, but it was blocked by the Soros pocket watch. Through the fog in her mind, she seemed to traverse time and space, catching a glimpse of the person attempting to divine her— a young man with a buzz cut.
After class, Yu Xunge went to a nearby restaurant for a meal.
Whether it was due to her overwhelming charm or the many experiences she had gone through, her aura was more captivating than ever.
The mystery of the Thief God, the coldness of the Undead, the flamboyance and sharpness of the Sharpshooter, the warmth and approachability of the God of Food, and her own restraint and madness.
These various energies blended together, combined with her already exquisite and gentle face, made it so that whenever Yu Xunge stepped out, passersby couldn’t help but follow her with their eyes.
In fact, she had felt this way for a long time. Even at Su Yitong’s wedding banquet, despite her efforts to keep a low profile, there were still people stealing glances at her. However, everyone present was either rich or noble, feeling their status was above hers, so they wouldn’t dare to approach her at the wedding. But after the wedding ended, Yu Xunge “disappeared.” She was either in class or cooking at home, ignoring strange calls and not responding to friend requests from strangers.
Sometimes, she could even feel someone secretly taking pictures of her while she was eating.
This was an unavoidable aspect of this era.
Moreover, since she had withdrawn from the circle and lost her connections, when news of her appeared online, people were genuinely commenting as bystanders, mostly saying good things. Recently, she had even gained a bit of attention, but Yu Xunge ignored it and didn’t seek publicity. Her life revolved around practicing combat, shooting, and eating, and gradually, the noise faded away.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhengliu sought her out, wanting to collaborate again and make a comeback in the entertainment industry.
Yu Xunge had almost forgotten about that scoundrel. She first checked to confirm that he wasn’t a player, then unhesitatingly kicked him out, conveniently gifting him a 【Fate Gear】 that modified his luck to 1.
Currently, Liu Hongsheng’s case was still investigating those who had conflicts with him. Even after the game’s events came to light, completely ruling out Liu Zhengliu’s suspicion, no one turned their attention to Yu Xunge. This was partly because Liu Hongsheng hadn’t yet targeted her, and partly because there was no conflict. Moreover, Liu Zhengliu was still alive and well; although she had been used as a pawn, everyone thought she was just a scapegoat.
But if Liu Zhengliu were to die, things would be different.
Yu Xunge didn’t seek out a teacher to teach her cooking. She had never loved cooking much before. Since the game’s cooking skill allowed her to cook occasionally, she had even practiced diligently. She was afraid of triggering Yu Xunhuan’s sensitive nerves, and she didn’t want to expose herself after struggling for so long.
Besides, the cooking videos that came with the cooking skill were extremely detailed, and many of the methods differed from real-life cooking techniques, so there was no need to find a teacher.
