Chapter 83
Su Yitong sighed, "In the future, when you need to buy something, just go to your sister. It’s fine to pay a little more; it’s better for your sister to earn this money than some outsider. She’s a good person, really. Sure, she can be a bit stingy with her words, but when it comes to getting things done, she won’t shortchange you."
Yu Xunhuan nodded, "That’s true. She’s just like that, but she’s actually really nice."
After a brief discussion about the honest Yu Xinge, they decided to have Lin Chengze and Su Wu contact Zhao Shuying, hoping to use their quota to buy a bit more. In the end, Zhao Shuying sold to Lin Chengze but not to Su Wu.
Her response was a bit harsh: "Not everyone can buy these skill crystals from the Special Affairs Bureau. Yu Xinge can because we have a partnership, but while the Su and Lin families aren’t currently collaborating with us, I’ll still give you some face. Not just me, anyone from the Bureau would do the same for you. But for others? Sorry, they don’t have the purchasing qualifications."
What a straightforward, fiery, and refreshingly honest compliment!
Su Yitong couldn’t even muster any anger.
Neither could Lin Chengze; instead, he felt quite flattered.
Meanwhile, Su Wu silently lit a cigarette: fine.

**Chapter 107: Must Be Her/Him Who Brought the Bad Luck**
Lin Chengze managed to buy five skill crystals, of which Yu Xunhuan took three and Su Yitong kept two.
As for whether Lin Chengze wanted them? Not important.
But for Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong, who had successfully stolen some attribute points, those few crystals were far from satisfying.
They had lost 5 to 7 attribute points, and if they hadn’t discovered that skill stones could be used to steal attribute points, they would have been going crazy right now. Not to mention, they had already lost attribute points a few months ago.
Yu Xunhuan suspected everyone who had been close to him during that time, but there was no pattern to it…
The only common factor was that every time something went missing, Su Yitong was by his side.
In fact, Su Yitong had her own doubts about Yu Xunhuan. The first time she realized she had lost attribute points and items, she hadn’t been with him, but it was the day after visiting the Yu family. Just like this time, by the time she recalled it, the items were already gone…
After that, every time they lost attribute points, the time and place were unclear—sometimes they were home all day, sometimes they were in dungeons—but there was always one person present: Yu Xunhuan.
However, this suspicion only flickered through their minds. After all, they were both in the same boat, each having lost attribute points and equipment.
They both just felt that they had brought bad luck to each other.
After that day, Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong became more cautious while running dungeons. They quickly found a solution: they called in 15 people from the Su family to fill the dungeon slots, even switching to a different dungeon.
This was clearly an extremely effective method. A small dungeon could accommodate 20 people, and with all the slots filled, Yu Xinge couldn’t get in!
De Laine had completely lost the chance to clear her name…
But the more they did this, the more frequently Yu Xinge showed up. She couldn’t enter the dungeon to steal, but she could steal from outside!
She aimed to heighten the anxiety of the group, making them more sensitive and suspicious.
During the waiting time, she didn’t idle; she watched alchemy videos in her mind, reinforcing the knowledge that Hufflepuff had taught her. Once the group emerged, she would start using her skills.
After three days of lurking, she managed to steal 2 attribute points from both Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong, and noticing their increasingly distressed expressions, Yu Xinge finally decided to stop.
In just those few days, she had stolen 9 intelligence points from Yu Xunhuan and 7 from Su Yitong.
Adding to the attribute points she had previously taken from them, it meant that despite being level 3, Yu Xunhuan’s attributes were comparable to those of a level 1 player.
Yu Xinge’s intelligence had completely surpassed her agility. Well, blame it on the fact that both the male and female leads were magic users.

Outside the dungeon on the top floor of the villa, the self-service vending machines were doing quite well. The prices were similar to those at the auction house, but the highlight was the variety of niche products. Not only were there rare alchemical potions, but also engineering gadgets like mini-guidance devices, pathfinding robots, listening bees, flashbangs, and automatic stoves—interesting and unique items.
Members of the Special Affairs Bureau who frequently visited this dungeon knew that the owner was skilled in both alchemy and engineering, and could even cook.
There were four vending machines on the rooftop: one for potions, one for engineering gadgets, one for dishes, and one for information.
They were restocked every noon, with random varieties. Even if people didn’t buy anything, it was a good opportunity to broaden their horizons. In fact, every potion and engineering creation had its uses, and they were usually sold out by the end of the day. While other dungeons had casual queues, everyone scrambled to be among the first to get into this level 3 troll undead dungeon.
Regardless of gender, everyone who came to this place to grind would first take a stroll around before diving into the dungeon.
Of course, there was also a very special vending machine on the top floor, where the items were not cheap. It contained information about various dungeons and some exotic races. This notebook was clearly a product of divine talent; once purchased, it couldn’t be copied, and only the buyer could see its contents. It was obviously the work of the Special Affairs Bureau.
If someone wanted to organize the information and post it on a forum for others to see for free, that was possible, but with prices ranging from 50 silver coins to over ten gold, it would be quite generous to do so. However, if they intended to sell it, the Bureau would pursue accountability.
Yu Xinge had once bought information related to the professional skills of Ze Lanxing.
It not only listed the locations of various professional skill instructors in the main cities of Ze Lanxing but also encouraged players to learn a professional skill whenever they had the funds, briefly introducing the pros and cons of various professions.
It also listed nearly a hundred master-level professionals from Huaxia on Blue Star, some of whom had already partnered with the Bureau. Players interested in learning could contact the Bureau for further discussion.
Yu Xinge glanced at it and skipped over it. She had already spent a lot of time specializing in alchemy and still needed to practice cooking. She didn’t plan to learn more; even engineering was just a hobby for her, after all, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
She checked the time; it was almost noon. She filled the three vending machines on the rooftop without imposing any specific type of items—just whatever she had on hand.
50 bottles of potions, 30 engineering gadgets, and 50 dishes made during her cooking practice.
These three vending machines brought her about 30 gold in income each week. Adding the 3 gold coins she made daily after transforming into a goblin, she was averaging 7 gold coins a day now.
She never dared to dream of such a beautiful life in her past life.
Although she could easily earn tens of thousands of gold through exchanging coins and selling elixirs, she didn’t underestimate this small money. After all, slow and steady wins the race.
Moreover, the payments received by the vending machines would temporarily stay there, not reflecting in her real-time wealth, so she didn’t have to worry about being noticed by the keen-eyed.
After restocking, Yu Xinge went downstairs to cook, avoiding the members of the Special Affairs Bureau who were coming to grind later.
Such a good place, how could Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo let it go? Although they had been scared out of their wits during the last dungeon run, the self-service vending machines had definitely caught their eye.
She didn’t hide it; there was no need to. It was up to her whether she wanted to share her things or not.
More importantly, this news would surely reach the Su family and Yu Xunhuan’s ears. There was no need to keep it a secret.
Recently, Yi Qiuguo had been very attentive, even offering to help her clean and scoop the yard. Yu Xinge had turned her down, saying she needed quiet to practice her professional skills.
She wasn’t even sure if Yi Qiuguo knew that the dishes Yu Xunhuan made would siphon off her luck.
Maybe she didn’t know, or perhaps Yu Xunhuan had told her not to let Yu Xinge feel too pressured, claiming those dishes were her own so that Yu Xinge could eat them with peace of mind. Or maybe she had said those dishes were hers so that Yu Xinge would bring her good things. Given Yi Qiuguo’s personality, she might have agreed.
Sometimes she seemed foolish, but deep down, she had her own scale, knowing what was best for herself.
Was she really biased against women? Not necessarily.
Because while she didn’t have much sincerity for herself, she didn’t necessarily have true feelings for Yu Xunhuan either. Perhaps she was just going along with Yu Qingshan to deceive.
But none of that mattered anymore. Yu Xinge had died once and was no longer interested in seeking answers. All she knew was that when she looked at Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo, all she felt was hatred and pain.
Rather than getting her hands dirty, she wanted these two to experience the pain of having their luck drained by Yu Xunhuan. She was eager to see what they would do to Yu Xunhuan once they discovered the truth.
But before that, she might as well kick these two balls over to Yu Xunhuan. Let them enjoy their little romance.

**Chapter 108: From Living Off Others to Enjoying It**
During another meal at home, Yu Xinge informed Lao Deng and Ben Bi about Yu Xunhuan’s leveling speed, urging them to keep an eye on her: "The Su family must have many retired folks like you and Dad who are afraid to fight monsters themselves. They might even have a dedicated team to help these people level up. After all, it’s the Su family. How can a solo player like me compete?"
