Chapter 36
For instance, that buzz-cut young man who won the lottery—after scratching off a million for the first time, he immediately bought ten more tickets and never won again.
The divine skill of Yu Xunge didn’t just sell well; it attracted even more buyers. People didn’t need it every day; they just wanted a sense of peace and smooth sailing during significant events, to feel as if everything was going their way, as if aided by divine intervention. Isn’t that more useful than a money tree or feng shui trinkets?
During this time, Yu Xunhuan and Yu Qingshan, along with Yi Qiuguo, wanted to pull some strings to get her to bless them with a “You’re lucky again!” so they could experience the happiness of a lucky ten.
Yu Xunge readily agreed to this small favor.
With only 24 hours in a day and her skill on a five-hour cooldown, most of the powerful people—except those needing to give birth at midnight—wanted their luck during the day. Even if Chinese people liked discussing business over meals, they’d need her blessing before dinner at the latest.
Typically, she only took two orders a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. This way, she could earn gold without affecting her classes. The clients would pick her up and drop her off, and after using the wheel of fate, she could have the driver take her straight to class.
The late-night hours could be reserved for the Yu family.
Yu Xunhuan couldn’t make it over at night; as a caring younger brother, he couldn’t ask his sister to come over just to use a skill and then head back.
But Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo, who lived in the same villa area, could!
In the first half of December, these two diligently walked to Yu Xunge’s villa every day, hoping she would use her skill on one of them.
With just a wave of her hand, Yu Xunge wasn’t worried about changing their fates in just a few hours.
Yi Qiuguo even remarked that Yu Xunge had grown distant, as the villa didn’t record their fingerprints.
Yu Xunge replied that she had stepped back from the scene and could now date, so she might bring a boy home in the future, which could be inconvenient.
Yi Qiuguo chuckled knowingly and stopped asking, then nudged Yu Qingshan with her elbow: “How about we stay over on Zijing Road for a while? You always say you’re worried about the kids bothering you.”
Yu Xunge thought: Is that an excuse I can hear?
She frowned as she sent them off outside the villa, pretending not to notice Yu Qingshan’s bitter expression.
Neither the young nor the old could help.
Tsk.
...
In the daily grind of training, Yu Xunge not only learned how to exert her strength more efficiently but also shed many bad close-combat habits with her coach's help.
Her current strength attribute was 10. In the past, even when she exerted herself fully, she could only manage 5 to 7. But now, having mastered the techniques, she could unleash at least 90% of her power.
Though she primarily focused on long-range attacks, close combat was equally important; she couldn’t just fall apart if someone got too close. She had also learned many techniques, like horizontal elbows, jumping elbows, covering elbows, and butterfly elbows...
Yu Xunge felt she was terrifyingly strong now!
She had learned all the knowledge she needed; the rest required long-term practice. So, she switched to a new teacher to learn how to use a dagger.
Similarly, she had mastered archery knowledge, and the rest depended on daily practice and understanding. Yu Xunge began learning crossbow and firearm shooting techniques, her heart, which had been floating due to the events in Sawadika, finally grounded.
She had stockpiled many weapons. Rather than gamble on those elusive, one-in-a-million mutations, it was better to study hard.
That said, everyone has a gambling instinct.
Every day after class and dinner, Yu Xunge would take a detour to the antique street, buying whatever junk she found. Once, when she let Yi Qiuguo into her house to help tidy up, Yi Qiuguo saw the pile of junk that even Yu Xunge was too lazy to put in her game backpack and remarked that when she got older, she would definitely be tricked into buying health products.
The male lead was out of the picture, the third female lead was toxic, and she had gambled.
Everyone had a bright future.
But one person seemed on the verge of breaking.
One day, Yu Xunge received a call from Yu Xunhuan, asking if she had time that evening to help modify a friend’s luck value. He would pay her five pounds of gold for it.
What’s wrong with that? It was a no-risk deal, and it was money from Yu Xunhuan’s pocket, so she readily agreed.
However, she was cautious, worried that Yu Xunhuan might invite her to dinner. She preemptively said, “Let’s keep it clear; I can’t do this for free. But I’ll let you treat me to dinner tonight, and we’ll open a nice bottle of wine.”
A restaurant where the average meal cost over 10,000, plus a bottle of wine worth around 200,000, added up to just one pound of gold.
Yu Xunge looked at herself in the rearview mirror, smoothing her hair, and nodded at her reflection: You’re so generous!!
Then she turned the steering wheel, driving to the Yu family villa, bringing Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo along. Although she didn’t know who Yu Xunhuan’s friend was, she could guess it was likely one of his brothers. She didn’t want to have dinner alone with them.
This silly brother acted like he was introducing his girlfriend to his parents; every time he made a friend, he liked to bring them home for dinner and point to her and Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo, saying, “Let me introduce you to my family.”
In reality, Yu Xunhuan could bring home at least two different brothers for dinner each semester, and they were all rich and handsome.
Yu Xunge always thought he was either a bit off or just naive.
Later, she realized it was called wisdom!
Because those brothers were all moved to tears, giving Yu Xunhuan a lot of help.
Yu Xunge found it hard to define Yu Xunhuan; perhaps his connections weren’t just based on luck.
**Chapter 45: The Value of the Wheel of Fate**
Not just Yu Xunge, but Yi Qiuguo and Yu Qingshan had gotten used to it. Yu Qingshan would always bring out the latest bottle of wine he had bought, saying it was a good wine his uncle had been reluctant to drink. “Since you’re Xunhuan’s friend, I’ll treat you like my own son. Come, let’s have a drink!”
The cups and lines never changed.
Upon entering the private room, sure enough, it was Ye Dong, whom Yu Xunge had met unilaterally in B City not long ago.
But this person looked haggard, as if he was about to shatter.
Although his eyes brightened upon seeing Yu Xunge, they quickly dimmed again. He had been having a rough time lately, losing every game he played, even in favorable situations, due to various unexpected events. The scandal about deceiving fans had blown up, and people he had offended in B City had come looking for him. Even if he stayed home doing nothing, he would choke while eating...
After everyone was seated, Yu Xunhuan acted more anxious than Ye Dong, pulling out a five-pound gold bar and handing it to Yu Xunge. “Sis, please help my friend; he’s been so unlucky lately.”
Yu Xunge didn’t refuse. She worried that Yu Xunhuan might take back the gold bar if she said no, so she dodged Yi Qiuguo’s frequent elbow nudges and took the gold bar, then used her skill on Ye Dong.
How could someone who hung out with the male lead have low luck?
Yu Xunge realized that he had probably eaten Yu Xunhuan’s cooking without paying.
While others’ free meals meant eating without paying, Yu Xunhuan’s free meal was more like secretly cooking for you, afraid you’d pay!
And paying to modify Ye Dong’s luck value was his way of sweetening the deal, providing timely help to make Ye Dong trust and appreciate him more.
Tsk, this trick had been used on her in her past life.
But seeing Yu Xunhuan scheming against his once-close brother, Yu Xunge felt she had made the right choice coming today; she might even get to eat two bowls of rice.
Yu Xunge decisively modified Ye Dong’s luck to 10, letting him experience the charm of “You’re lucky again!” With Yu Xunhuan’s momentum, Ye Dong would likely become a regular customer of her business.
Even if the game invaded, she would have to rely on this skill to make money.
Would she need “You’re lucky again!” when opening treasure chests after defeating a boss?
Despite Yu Xunhuan, Yu Xunge, and Su Yitong all having maxed-out luck, among the three, two were the male and female leads, while the other had only recently increased from 8 to 10 through hard work.
Most ordinary people had a luck value of 5. Yu Xunge had modified the luck values of so many people recently and had seen many profiles through the Soros watch. Even many successful individuals she had only seen on TV had luck values of only 7. This was understandable, as those who reached the top of the pyramid relied on intelligence, family background, emotional intelligence, and hard work; luck was merely the icing on the cake.
However, when it came to opening treasure chests in a game, it had nothing to do with brains, strength, family background, or looks; it was purely about luck.
In her past life, the Liang family had kept Liang Hui’s divine talent a closely guarded secret, likely even preparing items to hide his hidden divine talent, which is why it hadn’t been discovered.
Because even she had heard that the Liang family had a high probability of getting good items after dungeon runs, unlike other families. Even the Su family could only count on Su Yitong to get good items when opening chests. Once a dungeon started, outsiders couldn’t enter, and it was impossible to have the young lady come in to open chests after the run.
With their exceptionally high treasure drop rate, the Liang family developed slightly better than the Su family, but no one knew why.
Yu Xunge only deduced the effect of Liang Hui’s divine talent skill after he had used the “Wheel of Fate” skill on her repeatedly. Finally, when he caught her, she confirmed it with him. Liang Hui, seeing that she had guessed his divine talent, admitted it, knowing that she would soon be dead anyway.
