Chapter 81
She had already reached level 2 in April, but was too busy making money by brewing ginseng extract and attending classes on Zelan Star. She only managed to run dungeons every few days. Ever since she leveled up to 2, the experience rewards for fighting level 3 monsters had decreased significantly. Even after defeating over seven hundred monsters, she only gained 9% of the experience. Sometimes, when Hufflepuff was in a good mood and willing to give extra lectures, she would stay up late studying, but the next day she still wouldn’t run dungeons.
However, her efficiency in running dungeons was high. Even if she didn’t do it often, her level steadily climbed to 3, reaching 57%. Her rank on the leaderboard dropped a bit, landing her at 35th place. She glanced at Su Yitong, who was ranked 95th, and Yu Xunhuan, who was 99th. Good, those two fools were also at level 3. Even without considering the points Su Yitong might gain from her divine talent, he had at least gained 15 attribute points, plus he had some stock to steal from.
After spending three hours running two dungeons, she tossed the two newly acquired green items into the vending machine, pricing them at 1 gold each. It was only 11 AM, and since she had nothing else to do in the afternoon, she decided to go steal some attributes from the male and female leads to clear her mind.
Although she had been busy lately, she still occasionally used her little spider to sneak a peek at what Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan were up to. She discovered that once these two dropped their pretense, they were truly a toxic couple. Yu Xunhuan was in charge of cooking, while Su Yitong took the dishes Yu Xunhuan made to the logistics department, mixing them with the meals prepared by other logistics staff. The same dishes blended together were indistinguishable.
Then the two of them teamed up with Lin Chengze and one of Su Yitong’s trusted aides to run dungeons. With four people, they could quickly clear a level 2 dungeon every three hours, and their experience points shot up. Plus, with the luck they siphoned from the Su family, they were guaranteed to get equipment, items, and skills every day.
In contrast, the Su family suffered daily casualties.
The prestige of Su Langfeng, Su Baige, and Su Jinxuan had begun to wane.
Not only had Su Yitong turned the Su family into a mess, but she had also jumped ship to develop independently. Given her unique divine talent, the Su family team still had to listen to her every day, and they were utterly compliant with her. The subordinates of the Su family had also grown fond of Su Yitong. After all, with less interaction, there was less friction, and every time Su Yitong appeared, it was to hand out benefits. Which subordinate wouldn’t like a boss who rarely showed up but always brought perks?
As Yu Xunge approached the dungeon entrance, she noticed there were actually two people guarding the door. But they seemed too bored; one was playing on his phone, browsing forums, while the other was dozing off. She transformed into a little sparrow and perched on a nearby tree, patiently waiting. She planned to enter the dungeon with Yu Xunhuan and the others once they came out.
As long as she didn’t form a party, other players wouldn’t be able to see her health bar or position, and entering the dungeon wouldn’t reveal how many players were inside. The only hassle was that without a party, she wouldn’t be considered an ally. If they activated their skills and she didn’t dodge in time, she would take damage.
But as long as she was careful, it would be fine.
After more than half an hour, Su Yitong and the others emerged from the dungeon, all wearing expressions of joy, indicating they had a good haul.
The two guards immediately stood up, and perhaps in a good mood, Su Yitong didn’t scold them but instead reminded them to take their jobs seriously and guard the dungeon entrance well.
The dungeon’s light curtain slowly closed, then reopened a few seconds later.
This meant the refresh was complete. Su Yitong told the two guards to message her if they needed anything, then led her group back into the dungeon. Yu Xunge waited for a few seconds until the guards relaxed and sat down again, then she flew down from the tree, skirting the ground and swooping low past the heels of the employee playing on his phone, rushing into the dungeon.
Once inside, she didn’t act immediately but cautiously peeked ahead. Seeing that Yu Xunhuan and the others had already moved far away, only their silhouettes were visible, she flapped her wings and soared into the sky.
When she reached what she deemed a safe height, she looked down at the ground.
At that moment, Yu Xunhuan and the others had reached the first batch of monsters and were preparing to engage. The enemies in this dungeon were the Draenei, resembling blue-skinned avatars, skilled in jewelry crafting.
Yu Xunge observed their monster-fighting strategy for a while: Su Yitong focused on healing and damage output, Yu Xunhuan dealt finishing blows and damage, Lin Chengze provided damage and control, while the last member, Su Wu, whom she had seen in her previous life, acted as the tank, standing at the front to draw the attention of the Draenei.
Although most Draenei were intelligent enough to target the healer first, sometimes they were blocked by the tank, or Su Wu would use skills to draw their attention, making them unable to resist attacking him.
Yu Xunge landed on a tree, first using two skill crystals of 【You’re Happy Again】 to change Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong’s luck to 1. Then she flew to a distance, transformed back into human form, and consumed food that increased her health by 300 per minute. With her Food God talent triggering a threefold critical hit, she gained 190 health per minute for half an hour. This was the highest-level dish she could currently make.
Even without wearing health-boosting gear, her health was at 350, and stealing would cost her 70 health points.
To keep her health above 80%, she needed to steal roughly every five seconds.
Yu Xunge flew directly behind the Draenei, transforming into one of them and blending into their ranks, even changing her ID to 【Draenei Warrior】.
Occasionally, she would get close to Yu Xunhuan and the others, using 【I Want This, This, and This】. Thanks to the dodging skills she honed among the monsters, they couldn’t hit her at all.
Whenever the Draenei team was on the verge of being wiped out, she would shout the few phrases she knew in Draenei and escape. When Yu Xunhuan and the others attracted another group of Draenei to continue farming, she would slip back in to steal again.
Each time she escaped, she would casually drag along two other Draenei, leading Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong to believe for a long time that Draenei were a race that liked to flee when they couldn’t win.
Draenei: Wrongfully accused.
【Chapter 105: Where Are My Attribute Points?! No, Seriously, They’re Gone!】
After stealing for over fifty minutes, as Yu Xunhuan and the others surrounded the last monster squad, she quickly transformed back into a bird and flew out of the dungeon. When they came out, she followed the same method to sneak back in.
This was way more fun than running dungeons.
Yu Xunge followed them from 1 PM until 9 PM when they finally broke for dinner.
She had stolen 15 attribute points, with Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong being the main targets. The former yielded 4 points of intelligence, while the latter gifted her another 4 points. Su Wu “gave” her 5 points of constitution, and Lin Chengze contributed 3 points of intelligence. Not only that, but she also acquired 3 jewelry crafting blueprints, 2 skill books, 4 pieces of green gear, and 27 gold coins.
Yu Xunge looked at her attributes:
【Health】: 585/585
【Mana】: 1170/1170
【Strength】: 17
【Constitution】: 15+5
【Intelligence】: 21+11
【Agility】: 25
Available Attribute Points: 15
She regretted stealing from Su Wu; her constitution had increased, raising her health, but it also meant she consumed more health when stealing…
That thought felt a bit too showy, but it felt good to show off a little.
Satisfied, Yu Xunge returned to her villa and counted her other gains.
She anonymously listed the 4 pieces of green gear for 80 silver coins each at the auction house, undercutting the market price by a dozen silver coins, and they were snatched up almost immediately.
Both skill books were F-grade: one was 【Water Ball】 and the other was 【Ice Arrow】. Yu Xunge learned them right away, as she was too lazy to learn Fireball due to its low power, and she didn’t need fire-starting devices.
But Water Ball and Ice Arrow were useful—one could be used when cooking if she ran out of water, and the other could make chilled drinks to cool off in summer, which was quite practical.
As for the three 【Jewelry Crafting】 blueprints, Yu Xunge learned those too. The advantage of Blue Star people over Zelan Star people probably lay here; they could learn directly from blueprints. Even if she hadn’t learned basic jewelry crafting, she could still figure out how to make the jewelry with the blueprints.
What a bountiful harvest: 15 attribute points, two skills, three blueprints, and counting the money from selling the four pieces of gear, she had a total of 30 gold coins.
She imagined the bewildered expressions on Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong’s faces when they discovered their attributes had mysteriously decreased again, along with their lost gear, blueprints, and skills.
But none of this mattered to Yu Xunge. Even if Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong thought about it for a hundred years, they would never suspect her.
However, she figured they might connect it to the divine talent.
The next day, Yu Xunge returned, using the same recipe and the same flavors. She started by adjusting Yu Xunhuan’s luck, then kept a close watch on him, ultimately gaining 3 points of intelligence and a sewing blueprint.
At noon, when the four of them sat down to rest and eat, Su Yitong asked why Su Wu’s health was so low today. At this question, all four froze. How had they not noticed such an obvious issue until now?
Then they all checked their data panels and simultaneously let out sharp cries. Even the usually reserved and composed Su Wu couldn’t help but scream. How could their attribute points have decreased so much?!
Their expressions twisted, and they instinctively stood up to check their pockets.
No way, it’s really gone?!
Where are my attribute points?!
They couldn’t help it; this was some kind of bizarre story!
At the same time, they remembered they had also obtained quite a few pieces of gear and blueprints yesterday, right?!
Looking again, lo and behold, they were gone too.
