Chapter 62
The cost was only 20 gold coins, plus a few bandages made during her practice with first aid skills. Such low-level items wouldn’t even have the creator’s ID marked on them, making them safe to sell to anyone.
The speed of making money this way was far quicker than exchanging gold for coins with the goblins.
She wasn’t surprised that Su Yitong spent her life buying potions and equipment. Some things were easy to deduce. In her previous life, Yu Xunhuan’s talent was the most attractive benefit, and it required almost no cost. Just that talent, which increased attribute points with every meal, was enough to draw high-level players to pledge loyalty to the Su family.
Moreover, they might start recruiting and enhancing the core team’s attributes right after the first internal test. So when the game officially launched, even if they didn’t have equipment or potions at first, it wouldn’t affect their speed in clearing dungeons and rising rapidly.
But in this life, if the Su family wanted to retain these players, they had to offer corresponding benefits. Otherwise, the perks from the Special Affairs Bureau were quite appealing. Why would anyone choose to work for the Su family?
In a good mood, Yu Xunge accepted friend requests from Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong. After flipping to the friend request from Zhao Shuying, she accepted that too.
【Zhao Shuying】: Hey
【Yu Xunge】: ?
【Zhao Shuying】: So cold!
【Yu Xunge】: How much are your basic healing potions selling for?
【Zhao Shuying】: 300g gold per bottle.
【Yu Xunge】: You’re not afraid of getting punched for that price?
【Zhao Shuying】: Of course! But face-to-face, it’s a different price. This is just over the internet or phone, right?
【Yu Xunge】: …
But Yu Xunge didn’t regret it. The price of 150g was just right. She didn’t expect to make a fortune from this; she just wanted the Su family to know she had connections while maintaining a facade of harmony.
Now that everyone had become players, billions were scrambling to buy the few basic healing potions available on the market.
150g gold? She hardly made any profit!
**Chapter 80: It’s Happening!**
In her previous life, although the situation stabilized quickly, players skilled in alchemy began selling their homemade basic healing potions, and the official channels started supplying large quantities to help all players through the early challenges. Meanwhile, modern technology could produce effective healing drugs—injectables, tablets, capsules, and more.
However, with billions of players in the market, even the fastest supply would take time. Unlike belts, where each person could only wear one, most buyers wouldn’t come back for more. Healing items were consumables; once they were listed, they would be snatched up instantly. The market for basic healing potions would likely remain hot for at least half a month.
She was determined to find a way to sell some to Su Yitong in the next few days.
She didn’t believe the Su family was truly at a dead end. After all, they had been preparing since the first internal test. If they lacked alchemical potions, they still had first aid bandages. If worse came to worst, they could always rely on cooking. There were always ways.
This was perfect; she made money, helped Yu Xunhuan resolve issues with the Lin family, earned favors from both Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong, and left the impression that she had connections with the Su family. More importantly, she was always considering their needs in her words.
Where could she find such a good relative?
Thinking about how she had subtly taken advantage of them while they were grateful to her, Yu Xunge felt a sense of relief. She could clearly feel the pain and resentment in her heart healing.
Yu Xunge didn’t specifically tell Yu Xunhuan that she had smoothed things over with the Lin family. He would figure it out himself; her “taking credit” would only be unnecessary. After finishing breakfast, she put the cat bed into her game backpack and drove out, shaking off a few followers before parking near the entrance of the black market.
Finding a secluded spot, she used her disguise skill and headed to Zelan Star. She often brewed potions, so she had no shortage of them, but wasn’t the hardship of acquiring these potions part of the experience? She attended a 50-minute class with the undead female mentor, then divided the potions the Su family needed into two storage boxes before returning to Blue Star.
Thus, after “enduring countless hardships,” she delivered 2,000 potions to the Su family in exchange for 500 pounds of gold.
Although she could use the game’s mail function to send these items to Su Yitong, she preferred to do a handover in person, mainly to see if the Su family had any new equipment.
Once inside, she habitually checked Yu Xunhuan’s divine talent.
What she found left her speechless: his current skills 4 and 5 were pure and flawless, beneficial to both himself and others.
However, these skill descriptions appeared hazy after her inspection, and soon a black line crossed them out, revealing a line of small, solid text below. That was the true information about his divine talent skills.
Yu Xunge pretended not to see. This disguise was likely not meant to fool someone who only met him every few days; it was probably intended for the Su family. She wouldn’t expose it now.
But that wasn’t the main point. The key was the red blood drop symbol next to Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong’s names.
Yu Xunhuan’s red blood drop appeared hazy, while Su Yitong’s was more solid.
She focused on the blood drop, and with a thought, checked the detailed information.
【Unknown Curse Level I】: All healing effects reduced by 5%; health cannot recover automatically; contagious;
Oh my, what a curse! Isn’t this just that?
It’s happening! This is really happening!
Suppressing her laughter, Yu Xunge exchanged a few pleasantries with Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan before declining their invitation to stay for lunch, citing that she needed to go pay the balance.
She feared that if she stayed any longer, she would burst out laughing.
Level I. I wonder if it will upgrade as the condition worsens? But then she recalled the contagious aspect. It seemed she needed to be careful in case these two discovered the curse and started spreading it to everyone around them.
She wondered if Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong had noticed it themselves. If they did… that would be entertaining.
But thinking about the blood drop and the fact that the skills 4 and 5 of the Food God talent were also hazy, she suspected that Yu Xunhuan had already sensed something was off and had hidden it first.
Putting this matter in the back of her mind, she resolved to closely observe their reactions before driving away from the Su family. She even made a special trip to the black market, where she wandered for ten minutes before heading home.
After placing the cat bed in the backyard, she washed up and forced herself to lie down, determined to sleep for a few hours. She had been awake for two days and nights, waiting for the game invasion and digging for magic eyes.
Even though her body was digitized, she still experienced various negative states. Otherwise, how could Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong have fallen ill? Hadn’t she herself suffered from severe weakness due to frequent phantom shifting?
Rest was essential…
She closed her eyes for five minutes, and just as she was about to drift off, the description flashed through her mind, jolting her awake with laughter…
…
Yu Xunhuan had indeed noticed something was off. After the game officially invaded, he immediately checked his divine talent, hoping to see a miracle, but instead, he found a strange curse.
Though he didn’t know what this unknown curse was, the fact that it was contagious was enough to put him on high alert. At that moment, Su Yitong was rushing to find Su Baibo and others to discuss how to deal with the situation. Almost the second Su Yitong left the room, he used the shed skin of his chameleon tea pet to hide the curse information.
Until dawn, Su Yitong was busy leading her subordinates to tackle dungeons, while he distractedly practiced his cooking skills in the kitchen.
He wanted to check on himself, but the incident with the Lin family had just happened, and Su Yitong would definitely be closely monitoring his movements. He couldn’t go to the hospital himself, and he didn’t trust those brothers. What if… what if the test results were incriminating? Wouldn’t that be handing himself over?
He thought and thought, and still felt that Yu Qingshan was the most reliable. When Yu Xunge came earlier, he had wanted to find a chance to talk to her, asking her to take a vial of his blood back to Yu Qingshan, but Yu Xunge was too busy, not even having time to sit down for a drink, let alone talk privately…
The more he thought, the more restless he became. Was this curse unique to him? Unfortunately, he didn’t have any inspection items or skills…
Thinking of the game, he directly messaged Yu Qingshan.
【Yu Xunhuan】: Dad, what are you doing?
【Yu Qingshan】: Looking for a dungeon.
【Yu Xunhuan】: Can you come to the Su family?
【Yu Qingshan】: What’s wrong? Is something happening?
Yu Xunhuan didn’t have time to reply because Su Yitong brought someone into the house, saying it was her friend, and introduced them to each other.
However, Yu Xunhuan knew very well that this was Su Yitong bringing someone to investigate his divine talent. The so-called friend was merely a cover that wouldn’t hurt feelings.
**Chapter 81: Why Not Just Tattoo It on Your Butt?**
Yu Xunhuan greeted the guest with a smile, but his heart sank. He could only hope this person’s inspection level wasn’t high enough to see through the chameleon tea pet item.
In the past, Yu Xunhuan had believed in his good luck; he thought he could avoid disasters and have his wishes come true. But the experiences of the past year had shaken his confidence. Even if his luck was at a full 10, he wasn’t so sure anymore.
After ten minutes of boring small talk, Su Yitong sent the guest away and sat down next to Yu Xunhuan with a smile. Only then did the tension in his heart finally ease.
