Chapter 91
From the end of February to the end of May, Yu Xunge had accumulated 19 jin of durian flesh. Nowadays, anything related to luck was selling for a pretty penny, so she listed her durian flesh at 19 silver per jin. Considering that self-service vending machines were also selling this item, she decided to drop the anonymity.
It wasn't her style to leave no trace; hiding everything would only raise suspicions about her.
As it turned out, there were plenty of silver coins in the world, and this item that could ruin someone's luck was quickly snatched up—without even a bidding war, it was all bought at a fixed price.
The durian flesh in the vending machine on the top floor was probably not going to have trouble selling either, producing a jin of flesh every day, which meant 19 silver daily.
Even the smallest fly is still meat, and Yu Xunge didn’t mind the small amount.
After dealing with the durian flesh, Yu Xunge began sorting through the various props and oddities she had collected from the cat den during this time.
There were items that could produce poison, promote plant growth, change the color of equipment, and even store sunlight. In total, there were 12 items, averaging one new find each week, though most were rather useless. She set aside the poison-making item and organized the rest into categories.
However, so far, she hadn’t found anything that could directly enhance her strength, not even an oddity similar to the "Mi Zi Jia" (米字架, a special item in the game).
But Yu Xunge wasn’t disappointed; after all, she had only had the cat den for three months.
Most likely, the people who were grinding on the rooftop noticed Yu Xunge stocking the vending machine with new items late at night. The machine she refilled at 1 AM was empty in less than half an hour. After refilling it again, it was empty once more by the time she finished her late-night snack, so she decided to restock every half hour.
Once she learned that the Liang family had found that dungeon, Yu Xunge didn’t meddle further.
Now, all she had to do was wait for the Tauren Shaman to summon the little prince's soul, and the Liang family would be in for a chase.
Unfortunately, her relationship with Yu Xunhuan and the Liang family was a bit strained. If she could drag Yu Xunhuan into this mess, the plan would be perfect.
After wrapping up this matter, Yu Xunge felt wonderful for the next week.
She began to tackle the level 10 dungeon. Now, Yu Xunge was fully equipped with level 3 blue gear, her four main attributes averaging over 25, comparable to a level 17 player. With three S-rank and one A-rank divine talents, if she couldn’t solo a level 10 dungeon, she might as well give up.
The experience bonus from fighting higher-level monsters, combined with the fact that she didn’t have to share experience while soloing, meant that even after clearing just a third of a dungeon, she gained 10% experience. Halfway through, after three days of inactivity, Yu Xunge climbed back into the top 40 on the leaderboard from over 70.
Then she decided to take a break, but even when she occasionally paused to practice cooking and alchemy, her progress was still impressive—14% experience gained in under three hours. Zhao Shuying caught a whiff and came over.
“Selling?”
Just two simple words, no unnecessary small talk, straight to the point. Yu Xunge appreciated this style of communication.
“Not for now,” she replied.
“If you do decide to sell, remember to contact me first. I promise I’ll give you a good price!”
“Sure.”
Yu Xunhuan also came over, drawn by the smell.
“Sis~ Sis~ Sis~~ Where’s the money-making spot?! Can you take me along?”
“You can solo a level 4 dungeon with some heavy weapons and engineering products. You can do it. Sure, teaming up gives bonuses, but the experience split doesn’t compare to soloing.”
Yu Xunhuan relayed this answer to Su Yitong and the others nearby.
Su Yitong frowned. “Soloing?”
Of course, the Su family knew that soloing yielded more experience, but it was less efficient and costlier. Five people could take down ten monsters in five minutes, while one person would take at least half an hour, consuming several times the healing potions and food… Su Yitong could afford that expense, but the risk of injury or even death was much higher when soloing.
After Yu Xunhuan reported back, he continued chatting with Yu Xunge, who sent him the information he wanted without him even having to ask.
“[Advanced Landmine] [Wolf Poison Explosive], and a rocket launcher are essential.”
“You can see the materials in the details. Once you have them ready, I can help you make them anytime. With these, you can solo.”
Comparing the materials list, Yu Xunhuan headed to the auction house to search one by one. In the end, he calculated that just the materials for one advanced landmine would cost 5 gold, and the wolf poison explosive was even more expensive, totaling 8 gold for a set.
“Sis, you’re richer than the Su family!”
Yu Xunge could practically smell the sourness through the game screen.
“You could collect them yourself. Why buy? I didn’t run dungeons the other day because I was making potions to trade for materials.”
Yu Xunhuan realized this made sense; to get good items, one had to either spend time or money.
Su Yitong ordered, “Ask her if she can take us for a run.”
Yu Xunhuan hesitated, thinking, “Why should she take you guys along?”
But he still sent a message to Yu Xunge as Su Yitong requested.
“Sure, but my materials took time to collect. If I take you, you’re my brother, so that’s fine, but the others will need to share the material costs.”
Upon hearing Yu Xunhuan’s relay, Su Yitong frowned, but she didn’t say anything foolish like “Why do we have to pay?” That would be too embarrassing. This also related to how Yu Xunge kept her distance from the Su family; she didn’t operate under their banner or take advantage of them, and she rarely contacted them. Instead, the Su family often sought her out for cooperation…
Before Su Yitong could speak again, Yu Xunge replied.
“The cost for one run is around 50 gold. How many people are you bringing?”
Lan Cheng, who had been listening, couldn’t help but ask, “How does she have so many gold coins?”
Although Yu Xunhuan enjoyed competing with Yu Xunge and didn’t want to see her too far ahead, he had a different attitude in public. After all, she was his sister, and her strength was an asset for him as well.
“She does alchemy and engineering. There are several self-service vending machines at the entrance of her villa dungeon, bringing in over ten gold a day. Plus, her divine talent can modify luck, so the gear she gets from soloing isn’t less than what we get, and she keeps it all for herself. All of that can be sold for a lot of money.”
This was all information the Su family had gathered, and both Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan knew about it, so they didn’t doubt Yu Xunge’s ability to spend gold to run dungeons.
However, Su Yitong still wanted Yu Xunge to take them once; she wanted to see just how efficient her methods were.
Yu Xunge was happy to oblige; she had planned to team up with the Su family anyway. This would allow them to investigate her attributes again—of course, the disguised ones—to eliminate any suspicion. Plus, she intended to create the illusion that her attributes had been slightly stolen.
She had both the landmines and wolf poison explosives, and she was well-stocked on rocket launchers. As for the dungeon, the Su family would provide that!
Su Yitong had high authority; with her [Holy Light] divine talent, she ranked among the top three in the Su family. She was also the only young member qualified to enter the Su family’s treasure vault, giving her access to all dungeons under the Su family’s name at any time.
The group scheduled to enter the dungeon the next day. In less than ten minutes, Su Yitong secured a level 4 dungeon and sent the location to Yu Xunge, along with 50 gold.
The next day, Yu Xunge treated this group to a VIP dungeon experience. She approached taking Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong into the dungeon as if she were taking a boss to a show.
She had them wait at the entrance while she went in to set up the landmines and lure the monsters. The entire process relied on the landmines, wolf poison explosives, and rocket launchers to clear the monsters. The only strength she revealed was her exceptional dodging skills and high damage with her bow, which matched her highest agility attribute.
As expected, the moment they met, both Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong used their detection items on her simultaneously. Su Yitong used the A-rank item that belonged to Yu Xunhuan, while Yu Xunhuan used the single-sided glasses that Su Yitong had discarded. This toxic couple sometimes had an uncanny synergy.
They discovered that while Yu Xunge’s attributes were higher than those of an average level 4 player, they were still within a reasonable range. Although Su Yitong couldn’t recall the attributes she had seen before the game invasion, Yu Xunge’s highest agility was only 24 points.
It was an impressive number, but not outrageous. She probably had found a way to increase her attribute points from the Special Affairs Bureau.
During the dungeon run, Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong were constantly in private chat, analyzing Yu Xunge.
The final conclusion was… once again, they ruled out any suspicion of Yu Xunge.
**Chapter 185: The Full Act**
Ever since this couple’s attributes and equipment were stolen, they had been suspicious of everyone around them, even collecting all the hair in their home for testing to see if there were any unfamiliar strands that didn’t belong to the Su family.
Yu Xunge had naturally been suspected as well, and Yu Xunhuan was even more paranoid, always feeling that his talent had failed because someone had stolen it. After all, if attribute points could be stolen, why not divine talents?
But after all the investigations, whether from the hair collected from the Su family or various surveillance checks, Yu Xunge had no suspicion against her. The comparison of unfamiliar hair strands with Yu Xunhuan’s made it clear whether it belonged to Yu Xunge, and the surveillance provided solid evidence.
