Chapter 105
The Su family had sent most of their employees out to earn gold coins for the family, leaving only a few core staff members to maintain the basic operations of their enterprises.
After the gameification, many positions could be streamlined. For instance, transportation and logistics, which once required a dozen people and machinery, could now be handled by a single game backpack, with deliveries made directly through in-game mail. Similarly, for restaurant sanitation, hiring one employee with a divine talent related to cleaning was equivalent to employing seventy or eighty others...
For ordinary people, C, D, and E-level divine talents were the norm, and their focus remained on working hard and living well.
However, those with slightly better divine talents would do everything they could to avoid being left behind in this era.
The Su family not only continued to acquire dungeon screens but had also been recruiting since the game's official invasion.
These recruits could enter the Su family's dungeons to level up, as long as they surrendered eighty percent of what they earned, while bearing the risks of life and death themselves. This ratio seemed unfair, yet the Su family easily recruited over ten thousand people.
The Su family organized these individuals into shifts, ensuring that the dungeons were active 24 hours a day.
Currently, the Su family's daily gold coin income was around 35 gold, but their expenses were substantial.
They had to support the core team of the Su family—different from those employees who could raid dungeons for free yet remained unsatisfied.
They needed to invest in training professionals across various fields.
They had to allocate funds to maintain the basic operations of the Su family's industries, which were gradually declining in revenue.
At present, the amount of gold coins available in the Su family's treasury was just over 1300.
Su Yitong took it all.
With the gold coins she and Yu Xunhuan had, they could buy exactly two tickets.
As for why Su Yitong was willing to buy one for Yu Xunhuan as well? It was because, under the constraints of their contract, she had already subconsciously regarded Yu Xunhuan as her servant. Yu Xunhuan's divine talent was practically useless, and any equipment or skills they obtained during their dungeon raids were prioritized for Su Yitong.
In terms of offensive capabilities, Su Yitong no longer needed to bring along the two strongest fighters from the Su family to keep Yu Xunhuan in check; she could easily crush Yu Xunhuan on her own.
In this situation, having a pet was also an advantage for Su Yitong.
And as for the Su family's money? She could spend it however she liked. If she didn’t spend it, wouldn’t it just go to Su Jinxuan and Su Baibo?
While Yu Xunge was rummaging through the cat nest, she received 1595 gold coins from Yu Xunhuan.
Yu Xunge didn’t rush to claim it; instead, she first pulled out two small items from the cat nest.
【Wishing Pool's Turtle Jade】 (Rare Item): Smash a gold coin against the turtle shell, and for the next 10 hours, your fortune will double. Cooldown: 7 natural days. (Note: The gold coin disappears upon hitting the turtle shell.)
【A Bottle of 50-Year-Old Daughter's Red (1000ml)】 (95 points): A celestial brew that restores 2% health and 2% mana per second for five minutes. This effect requires at least 3ml to take effect. If more than 10ml is consumed, the player enters a tipsy state, reducing all attributes by 10%; if more than 50ml is consumed, the player enters a drunken frenzy, increasing all attributes by 500% for five minutes, after which they will forcibly fall asleep for 8 hours.
Both were excellent items.
Especially the latter; it was perfect for life-or-death situations. The only pity was that this Daughter's Red wasn’t brewed by her, so the effects couldn’t be tripled.
As for the Turtle Jade...
Yu Xunge took out a gold coin and smashed it against the turtle's back. A flash of golden light merged into the Turtle Jade and vanished.
Yu Xunge glanced at her attribute panel and noticed a golden money bag had appeared next to her luck stat.
Double fortune, huh?
Yu Xunge felt a surge of anticipation. She stored the Turtle Jade and Daughter's Red in her magician's false teeth and continued with her tasks.
First, she petted all the cats in the backyard, then began preparing a large quantity of dishes.
After an exhausting eight-hour battle, Tulan finally grew tired... Standing beside the large storage box Yu Xunge had prepared, he filled it to the brim with dragon dung before heading off to sleep.
After placing the prepared dishes in the fridge and backyard, Yu Xunge returned to her bedroom, drew the curtains, turned off the lights, disguised herself as a goblin, and crafted three gold coins for the day before heading back to Zelan Star.
She headed straight to the auction house, first dumping all the stolen equipment she had acquired from the Tulan dungeon onto the auction block, along with 500 pounds of dragon dung to test the waters.
Then she searched for beginner pet contract scrolls. Even in Zelan, these weren’t abundant—damn, how many did the Special Affairs Bureau buy?! Why were the prices skyrocketing?
They used to sell for 498, but now they were up to 588! There were even two listed at 599...
Where was her fortune? Where was it?!
Yu Xunge pulled out the little turtle, gripping the Turtle Jade tightly: Refund!!!
【Chapter 135: Your Dog Smell is Bumping into Me】
Yu Xunge, still holding the turtle, scrolled down the listings, hoping to find something cheaper, when she spotted a beginner pet contract scroll priced at 58 gold coins.
Yu Xunge:!!!
Her hand moved faster than her brain, and she instinctively placed a bid to snag it!
Soon, she received an email and opened it to claim her attachment.
【Beginner Pet Contract Scroll】 X1.
Great, Yu Xunge felt completely at ease.
There was no chance of the auction house misplacing items or mixing in something else... The only possibility was that the previous buyer had miscalculated by one digit.
This Turtle Jade was something special!
Yu Xunge searched again and found that the other pet contract scrolls were priced normally. She didn’t feel disappointed and spent 588 to buy a second one.
The total cost for the two pet contract scrolls was only 545 gold, and selling them to Yu Xunhuan for 1595 gold meant that in under five minutes, Yu Xunge had made a profit of 949 gold.
After securing her items, Yu Xunge glanced at the auction house’s S-level skills. The few S-level skill books available didn’t suit her; they were all attack skills, which she didn’t need at the moment. What she required were special skills that could enhance her stealth or help her escape.
When it came to attack skills, Yu Xunge thought: Enough is enough; too much will spoil the broth.
As for life-saving escape skills, Yu Xunge mused: Why haven’t I collected 100 types yet?
...
The next morning, Yu Xunge took her little ice dragon out for a stroll. Tulan had eagerly suggested wanting to see Blue Star, and Yu Xunge naturally agreed.
At Tulan's request, she also brought along three of Tulan's favorite little cats. These three cats, used to the streets, were nothing like timid house cats; they loved to play everywhere.
So, Yu Xunge set out with one dragon and three cats, driving the sports car gifted to her by the Lin family.
While waiting at a red light, she felt someone in a nearby car taking pictures of her, but she pretended not to notice.
However, while shopping at the mall, Yu Xunge gave the dragon an invisibility potion before entering. Halfway through, she noticed that the mall was getting increasingly crowded, and many people were staring at her.
This was unavoidable; she didn’t want to reveal her disguise, so she had to feed the dragon invisibility potions every few minutes. During the cooldown, the dragon would become visible, causing most people to gasp and scream in surprise, pulling out their phones to take pictures.
The attention made Tulan feel uncomfortable. Although most gazes were filled with admiration, there were also emotions of fanaticism, jealousy, possessiveness, greed, and various other selfish desires. Tulan didn’t take these to heart, but it was noisy.
She preferred the way Yu Xunge looked at her, filled with pure affection, love, and gratitude—though she didn’t understand why, as a dragon, she would be the object of such affection, but it felt nice.
Sensing Tulan's emotions, Yu Xunge pushed the shopping cart with the three cats directly to the manager to get a list of goods. She checked off everything the dragon and cats wanted, buying them by the box.
Then she was invited to the VIP room. Once the staff packed the items, she could directly store her purchases in her game backpack.
Moreover, the manager explicitly stated that because Yu Xunge had brought the little dragon to their mall, which attracted a huge crowd, all the items she ordered would be free, and she was welcome to bring the dragon back anytime.
She checked her panel and found that the fortune buff was still active, but time was running out—only 2 minutes left.
Was this fortune buff really that effective?
Yu Xunge gladly accepted; she had bought quite a lot.
This outing was boring and troublesome for Yu Xunge, but it was a refreshing experience for Tulan.
In her previous life, Yu Xunhuan had also tried various means of entertainment to please Tulan, but Tulan had never given Yu Xunhuan a good face. It was unclear whether she sensed Yu Xunhuan's insincerity or simply didn’t accept the flattery of the weak.
Watching the little ice dragon flying in the air with a cup of milk tea, Yu Xunge couldn’t help but reach out to poke her chubby belly: “Is it good?”
Tulan took a sip of the pearls and chewed: “I still prefer meat.”
Yu Xunge smiled and nodded: “Then after we finish buying this, let’s go eat meat together.”
What she did wasn’t to curry favor with Tulan, but out of pure gratitude and affection.
She admired the dragon’s unwavering spirit and beauty from her past life and was grateful for the rescue she had received...
While waiting, she also received a message from Zhao Shuying.
