Chapter 34
Not everyone can be like her, a favored child of destiny, drawing an S-rank divine talent. Among the nearly a thousand players in the Liang family, she was the only one to have achieved such a rank.
Most importantly, the Liang family had long confirmed that divine talents could not be snatched away by killing their owners.
Thus, she never connected the insignificant figure of Yu Xun Ge, whom she had never met, with her own affairs.
That evening, Yu Xun Ge received a message from Su Yi Tong: "Let’s collaborate more in the future~"
Yu Xun Ge was not surprised by Su Yi Tong's reaction; after all, exchanging one million for five hours of luck was quite a bargain.
The next day, she set out with the money, renting a small cruise ship to head out to sea. The ocean was a perfect place for illusionary escapes, offering safety and concealment comparable to a safe house. Not only could she avoid being seen, but if she ever needed to eliminate someone, she could teleport here to erase any traces before returning.
Soon, Su Yi Tong would occasionally come to her for skill usage. Of course, Yu Xun Ge didn’t hide her abilities; she practically wanted to shout through a megaphone, "Your luck has been changed to 10 by me!!!"
As time passed, her reputation spread among the wealthy, but so did her rules: she only brought good fortune, never misfortune.
In truth, she could have claimed that her skill could only enhance others' luck, but that would have seemed too "flawless" and "harmless," raising suspicions. Moreover, she would need to use this skill to modify the luck of monsters in future dungeons, so she had no intention of hiding it from the start.
Yu Xun Ge's rules effectively extinguished the malice of many, and even when approached privately with offers of up to twenty million, she remained steadfast. Over time, people began to believe in her, seeing her as clever, perceptive, and cautious.
More importantly, she was, in a way, half a member of the Su family, making it unwise to provoke her.
Yu Xun Ge never expected that the skill that had once led to her demise in her past life could now earn her money.
With the conclusion of the third internal test, Yu Xun Ge no longer worried about being discovered as a player; the Su family and those who needed her divine talent would protect her.
Her divine talent was not particularly threatening but unique enough, akin to divination, and could be useful one day. Plus, she was open about her business, allowing anyone to approach her when needed. Even if she had to be a sacrificial pawn, they wouldn’t push her out.
More importantly, there were many players without backgrounds; it wasn’t worth the effort to capture someone who had dealings with various families.
Yu Xun Ge was making money much faster than when she was a star. In her transactions, she only cared about the cash. Even though the people she dealt with could easily gather weapons, she preferred to take the trouble to buy them herself.
What if they mutated later? It was like playing the lottery; if someone owed her two bucks, she’d have them buy a lottery ticket for her, and if it hit the jackpot, it would be a win-win!
People wouldn’t think Yu Xun Ge had foresight; they’d just feel she had snatched their good fortune. If they discovered that the weapons they traded to her mutated after the game invasion, they’d be upset, especially if they turned out to be of better quality. They might even demand them back.
Yu Xun Ge thought that if it were her, she’d probably be furious.
Now, she spent 2 to 3 hours each day using her skill to earn extra cash, saving it up to make a trip to the Kingdom of Sawadika at the end of November. There were plenty of strange things there, and she wanted to stock up on some for potential mutations.
But before that, she planned to buy back a set of costumes from her past.
When she first debuted, she played a lovesick female supporting character in a drama, appearing in all 35 episodes dressed in black. It was a low-budget historical drama, but it unexpectedly became a hit, and she rose from a newcomer to a third-tier star.
It was common for popular dramas to sell the main characters' costumes to recoup costs. This particular outfit had been bought by a fan of hers back then. In her past life, after being "exposed" by various scandals, that fan, heartbroken, sold the costume. After the game invasion, the outfit that had been sold mutated into a rare blue item.
**Chapter 43: The Little Silver Coin Returns**
As for why Yu Xun Ge was so clear about this, it was because that outfit had come back to her in a dramatic twist two years later.
During her first escape, when she was being chased, she killed one of her pursuers and found the outfit among his belongings, discovering her name stitched into the collar.
It was from her first acting gig. Even though the outfit had no special features—just decent quality since the female lead had to wear it for months—she had embroidered her name in black thread on the back collar, holding onto hopes for the future.
Originally, she hadn’t planned to seek out that outfit in this life. After all, she hadn’t been blacklisted; she had left the industry gracefully. Surely, that fan wouldn’t be so heartbroken as to sell the outfit? It was cold enough to leave the industry without snatching opportunities from her own fans.
But unexpectedly, while casually browsing her phone one day, the algorithm pushed a video of that fan selling the outfit to her. Just a few images: the first was a photo of herself eating in a restaurant after training, followed by several pictures of the costume. The fan mentioned needing money for living expenses and wanted to sell the outfit she had bought for twenty thousand, claiming it was the costume Yu Xun Ge wore when she played XX.
Yu Xun Ge immediately messaged her main account, saying that although she had left the industry, she missed the past. After some small talk, she played her cards right, offering fifty thousand to buy the costume.
The fan, perhaps feeling guilty or nervous about being discovered by the original star, suddenly changed her mind and said she wouldn’t sell it.
Yu Xun Ge added another offer: "One hundred thousand."
"Sorry, sister, I really need the money to sell it, it’s not that I don’t like you anymore."
"One hundred fifty thousand, darling, I really miss it."
Whether it was the power of the money or the endearment, the fan decided to take the deal.
Early that morning, Yu Xun Ge personally drove to pick up the outfit!
After washing and disinfecting it, she hung it in her wardrobe. It was a modified black hanfu, simple yet elegant—a black outer robe with a wide belt. Inside, actors could wear their own clothes, and with the robe on and the belt tied, she could change into character seamlessly.
A little blue item!
The little blue item that had accompanied her through a year of escape!
In the end, it was still with her.
She thought about finding a good tailor to embroider some hidden patterns on the outfit, hoping it might level up during mutation. But after some consideration, she decided against it; it was better to play it safe. What if her small modification prevented the outfit from mutating?
Since Yu Xun Ge started making money again, earning one hundred thousand per deal, her family had become a bit envious.
Happy Qiu Guo wanted some money to spend, while depressed Qing Shan also asked for some.
Yu Xun Ge tagged Yu Xun Huan.
**[Yu Xun Ge]:** @Yu Xun Huan All my money comes from your wife; can’t your divine talent earn you anything?
With that one line, she nearly sent Yu Xun Huan back into depression.
His divine talent… never mind, better left unsaid.
**[Yu Xun Ge]:** I still have big plans for the money; I’m preparing to buy some weapons. @Happy Qiu Guo @Depressed Qing Shan, do you want in?
**[Happy Qiu Guo]:** That bed… can’t you really buy it?
**[Depressed Qing Shan]:** What do you mean by that?
**[Happy Qiu Guo]:** Just asking.
**[Depressed Qing Shan]:** @Yu Xun Ge Do you have any game weapons?
**[Yu Xun Ge]:** No, I’ve never seen any for sale. @Yu Xun Huan, have you seen any in the Su family?
**[Yu Xun Huan]:** I’ve seen some, but they’re not for me.
The conversation quickly veered off into game-related topics.
A few days later, Yu Xun Huan mentioned in the group that Su Yi Tong was on a business trip and he was staying at his family home for a few days.
**[Yu Xun Huan]:** @Yu Xun Ge Why don’t you come over for dinner tonight?
Oh, so the little silver coin is back, huh?! Is this your idea of a meal?
Yu Xun Ge immediately switched out of the chat app and booked a flight to the Kingdom of Sawadika!
Not long after Yu Xun Huan sent that message, Yu Xun Ge shared her location at the airport.
**[Yu Xun Ge]:** [Location info]
**[Yu Xun Ge]:** You said tonight, but I’ve already planned to go to the Kingdom of Sawadika to see if there’s anything interesting there. I’ll bring you all gifts when I return~
And then she turned off her phone.
Yu Xun Huan stood in the kitchen with a stern face. He didn’t want to, but he couldn’t think of a way to break the deadlock.
After the third internal test, Su Yi Tong had asked him if he had become a player. How could he admit he wasn’t? The difference between being a player and not was too significant. He worried that Su Yi Tong would look down on him even more. When he finally admitted he had participated in the game’s internal test, Su Yi Tong’s next question was about what divine talent he had drawn.
Since everyone learned that each person had a divine talent, it became a common understanding not to ask others what their talents were unless it was necessary for collaboration or job-seeking, or if the other party volunteered the information.
This was a rule even the most socially inept understood and followed.
Even when Yu Xun Ge had openly shared her divine talent with Yu Xun Huan and the others, he felt too shy to ask if her talent had any other abilities besides changing others' luck.
Asking once could be seen as affectionate, but asking again would feel like prying into someone’s privacy and hidden cards.
