Chapter 96
**Chapter 135: Yes, She Admits She’s Biased**
Yu Xunhuan lay in the Yu family’s bedroom, toying with a white feather. This feather was a cursed object he had obtained before signing a contract with Su Yitong. As long as he stained it red with a person’s blood, he could siphon off their fortune.
Having used his Food God skill for so long, he had long grasped its patterns. If luck could make things go smoothly and increase the drop rates of items, then fortune could bring everything you desired right to your doorstep.
The difference between the two was like fate presenting you with three options: A, B, and C. Luck would nudge you toward the most beneficial choice, while high fortune would expand fate’s offerings, potentially revealing hidden options D, E, and beyond.
More crucially, the person whose fortune was drained would become unlucky.
He was indeed hesitating.
Without a doubt, the person he hated most was the one who stole his attributes and talents, but coming in a close second was Su Yitong…
Whether it was treating him like a dog, humiliating him in various ways, or always picking the best things for herself first—each incident piled up in Yu Xunhuan’s heart.
Though he felt a twinge of jealousy toward Yu Xunge for doing so much better than him, his hatred for Su Yitong ultimately overshadowed that jealousy.
He grasped the feather tightly.
In the end, he decided to use it on Su Yitong…
As for Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo?
Yu Xunhuan simply called the Su family and revoked the qualifications of the two to join the leveling team.
He didn’t bother to hide his actions; he was certain that Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo wouldn’t dare come looking for him.
If they wanted to level up, they could go find Yu Xunge.
That very night, Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo received the news that they had been kicked out of the leveling team. Of course, the notification wasn’t so bluntly hurtful, but the meaning was clear.
The two exchanged glances, and just as Yu Xunhuan had predicted, neither had the courage to confront him about it.
Yi Qiuguo had also realized that their reactions at noon hadn’t escaped Yu Xunhuan’s notice…
The matter of Yu Xunhuan’s illness had become an open secret in the family; perhaps only Yu Xunge remained unaware.
The next day, Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo acted as if nothing had happened, cheerfully preparing breakfast for Yu Xunhuan, who smiled and thanked his parents.
But once they sent Yu Xunhuan out the door, the smiles on Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo’s faces vanished in unison.
They had lost their usual patience and indulgence toward Yu Xunhuan, feeling instead that he was inconsiderate of his parents. It was one thing to come home with such a dirty illness, but to get angry over trivial matters and cancel the Su family’s benefits…
He was even less considerate than Yu Xunge.
This emotional rift was like cracks on the surface of ice; while it wouldn’t break apart immediately, the cracks had formed, making reconciliation impossible.
…
The Yu family had its fractures, and the Su family had theirs as well.
The conflicts among the Su family had shown signs long ago.
Su Yitong’s talent was a treasure to any faction, and thus the Su family granted her privileges just below that of the family head. Naturally, Su Yitong didn’t hold back.
However, she noticed that every time she acquired gold coins or jewels, if she used the Hope’s Hymn a little later the next day, either the family steward or Su Jinxuan and Su Baibo would come to remind her.
This attitude gradually turned the matter into a transactional one.
Since it was a transaction, one would naturally weigh the gains and losses. Su Yitong had long believed that what she received didn’t match her skills.
Moreover, all she had was the right to choose equipment and spend gold coins; she had no authority over team leadership or equipment distribution…
She could spend money freely, change her gear daily, and attend every important meeting of the Su family, but she would never have the final say.
She was merely another version of Yu Xunhuan.
Su Langfeng thought she didn’t understand, or perhaps he believed that a girl like her would be satisfied with the so-called “favor”?
No, whenever she opened her eyes and saw what Su Baibo received, she understood what true favor meant.
In short, the fractures in the Su family were no less than those in the Yu family…
Now, Su Yitong had started to slack off while singing the Hope’s Hymn. After all, this skill didn’t alert other players when used, and she had become quite adept at it. Even without using the skill, no one could notice.
No attribute growth? That was just bad luck for them; it had nothing to do with her, Su Yitong!
The probability of triggering the benefits for increasing attribute points was low, and with the misfortunes that occasionally befell those who teamed up with Su Fu and Su Baibo in dungeons, many had begun to consider leaving the Su family.
Meanwhile, Su Yitong had started to sift through the Su family’s resources, preparing to nurture a team of her own when the time was right.
…
At the end of July, everyone on the level leaderboard reached level 5, with the top player hitting 5 and 95%.
Yu Xunge’s rank fluctuated between 15 and 17, but her reputation on the forums was no less than those in the top ten.
People had long deduced from her experience growth time that she only spent 3 to 4 hours a day in dungeons. Moreover, from the percentage of experience gained, they inferred that she was soloing.
While others on the leaderboard experienced steady growth, typically gaining about 1% per hour, Yu Xunge’s experience surged dramatically in just a few hours—sometimes increasing by 3% in an hour, and at other times, by 5%.
She wasn’t the only one soloing, but she was the one with the highest experience growth while doing so.
The game forums and various online platforms were buzzing with discussions about her, analyzing how she soloed, admiring her strength, dissecting her talent, accusing her of monopolizing dungeons, and urging her to share her soloing techniques.
Yu Xunge was busier than ever; she had no time to browse forums or gossip. Every time she logged on, it was either to stir up trouble or to make money.
Busy, too busy—leveling up, attending classes, training, practicing her profession, restocking supplies on the rooftop—her days were packed. She didn’t even have time to seek out Liang Yuchuan.
She knew she was being unfair to him. Yes, she admitted she was biased, always taking care of Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan…
But that was only because going over there was so efficient! It was easy and yielded results!
She really wanted to ask those who could juggle several romantic partners how they managed their time. She genuinely wanted to learn; dealing with a few enemies was a bit overwhelming.
Meanwhile, those stirring up public opinion behind the scenes found themselves at a loss when they received no response… People simply didn’t care about such empty fame.
On August 3rd, after grinding in dungeons for three days straight, Yu Xunge officially reached level 7. As long as she increased her dungeon time, her experience would soar, marking her first entry into the top three of the leaderboard.
Since obtaining the Fire Spirit Ring, she gained 5 attribute points with each level up.
For the first time, she allocated her attribute points, totaling 38, and poured them all into agility.
Her current stats were:
**[Health]:** 585/585
**[Mana]:** 1850/1850
**[Strength]:** 25
**[Constitution]:** 20
**[Intelligence]:** 40
**[Agility]:** 25 + 38
These attribute points were comparable to those of a typical level 25 novice player, and her formidable strength gave Yu Xunge the confidence to toy with Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong.
**Chapter 124: Entering the Dungeon**
Having maxed out her attributes wasn’t enough; Yu Xunge made a trip to Zelan, spending nearly 500 gold coins on a basic pet contract scroll. After searching the auction house for a long time, she finally found a piece of equipment that required dual attributes and was around level 25.
A shoulder piece, priced at 1170 gold coins. She gritted her teeth and bought it. Equipment with dual attribute requirements was already more expensive than those with level requirements, and being of rare quality made this price a bit steep, but not outrageous.
This was why Yu Xunge wasn’t particularly keen on buying equipment for herself; she didn’t lack low-level gear for dungeon runs. If she wanted to wear equipment that matched her stats ahead of time, it meant shelling out for dual attribute gear, which was a significant expense.
Her savings were meant for the S-level skills that were constantly being updated in the auction house; spending it on equipment felt like a waste. If she encountered a skill book she wanted but didn’t have enough gold, it would break her heart.
However, for the sake of the young dragon, this money was worth spending, as she needed to stack her stats to wield those two Meteor Desert Eagles.
The level 22 rare equipment had attribute bonuses that were all double digits.
**[Horn of Mist]** (Rare)
**[Attribute Bonus]:** Agility +41 | Strength +19
**[Magical Attributes]:** +11% Critical Damage | +12% Fire Skill Damage
**[Wearing Requirements]:** Agility > 37 | Strength > 27
After equipping this item, Yu Xunge’s agility soared to 91, and her strength reached 47.
This meant she could equip those two Meteor Desert Eagles, **[Ember]** and **[Meteor]**, ahead of time.
Even though her other gear was all level 7 common items, her costume and shoulder piece had dual attribute requirements, combined with the bonuses from two legendary weapons, making her stats comparable to a mini-boss.
In her previous life, she hadn’t qualified to join that dragon-hunting team, but this was a hot topic, and the forums were flooded with news related to that dragon-hunting team.
