**Divine Gift**: Bai Xiao Shu (B-level)
**Skill 1**: Is it real or fake?!: After using this skill, you can discern the truth of any information, whether it’s text or images, stories or prophecies. (This skill may fail when the information involves S-level or higher tiers.) Each use consumes 20% of your magic points, with a cooldown of one natural day.
**Skill 2**: I swear to heaven: After using this skill, you can designate a piece of false information, and for the next seven days, everyone will believe it to be true. Each use consumes 100% of your magic points, with a cooldown of fifteen natural days.
As Yu Xunge walked with Baozi toward a corner of the restaurant, she read through Baozi's information. When she saw the line about racial talents, she realized that Baozi had also participated in the internal test and was a member of the undead. She wondered if they had crossed paths in the city back then.
At this point, she still had the leisure to chat with Baozi, exchanging pleasantries like, “The weather is really nice today,” and “I found this place through a friend,” as if they were just two casual acquaintances.
The experience of fleeing together in her past life had subconsciously made Yu Xunge regard Baozi as a familiar face. She even knew a bit about Baozi's talent skills, which had helped her before, so she hadn’t bothered to investigate Baozi’s abilities during their previous transactions.
However, when she saw **Skill 1**, Yu Xunge felt a twinge of worry. This was far more powerful than what she had known in her previous life!
What if someone wrote, “The wealth leaderboard’s top spot is Yu Xunge”? Could Baozi use this skill to discern her identity? Would her pocket watch be able to block such a skill?
By the time she finished reading the information on **Skill 2**, she realized her worries had been premature, for there was something even more terrifying ahead.
Just as she finished reading **Skill 2**, a layer of mist appeared over the skill description, which then slowly dissipated. Under the scrutiny of an S-level item, the true information was revealed.
**Skill 2**: We’re not familiar, but that’s okay: After using this skill on a target, you can hear their innermost thoughts. The range of this skill is as far as you can hear, and you can also guide the target’s thoughts. Each use consumes 1% of your magic points per minute.
Ah—!!!
Yu Xunge’s mind and soul screamed in unison!!!!!!
Even more terrifying was that at the moment she read this information, Baozi’s blue health bar was down to 80%, and she was slowly turning her head, a look of horror on her face as she gazed at Yu Xunge.
Baozi: Oh heavens, this old lady’s thoughts are so stuttered and fragmented, but I finally managed to hear it clearly, only to realize the more I listen, the more familiar it sounds! It’s like she’s reciting her divine gift skill!
Both of them pointed at each other simultaneously and spoke at the same time.
Yu Xunge: “No way, you!!!”
Baozi: “No way, you!!!”
They exchanged silent glances, and in that moment, time seemed to freeze…
It was hard to say who should be more frightened.
It felt like a thief had come to scout a house, peering through the crack in the door, only to lock eyes with the homeowner, creating a mix of terror and awkwardness.
Everyone wanted to scream for help.
In the next second, the old lady moved!!
The frail-looking octogenarian, who had seemed like a gust of wind could blow her away, suddenly straightened her back, her right hand gripping Baozi’s neck, lifting her off the ground and forcing her head back. With her left hand, she swiftly pulled out a bottle of intermediate Forgetting Potion from her pocket, popped the cork with one hand, and shoved the potion into Baozi’s mouth.
The entire sequence of actions flowed seamlessly, taking less than two seconds to down the potion.
The restaurant fell into an eerie silence, everyone gaping at the scene, while a nearby customer, holding a plate, instinctively stepped back, shielding their spicy wings combo.
Shock! Why did the octogenarian suddenly act this way?!
Once she confirmed the potion was down, Yu Xunge tucked the bottle away and turned to run, her white hair flying in the wind, her old legs leaving a blur behind her. In the blink of an eye, the old lady had vanished.
Baozi was still bent over in the middle of the restaurant, coughing.
A few seconds later, she straightened up, looking around in confusion, and noticed everyone staring at her: “What’s going on?”
The customer with the plate remained silent for a long moment, trying to summarize: “An old lady was walking with you, and then… you two suddenly locked eyes? Then you both said, ‘No way, you?’ and she jumped up… and made you drink a bottle of potion?”
Baozi: ?
After Yu Xunge dashed out of the restaurant, she activated her invisibility skill. She began to reflect on whether she had thought anything inappropriate when she last saw Baozi, asking her to sell information to the Liang family.
Most likely not; at most, she had thought something like, “This way, I won’t be traced back to.” After all, who would think about their own name while pondering?
She had been careless, careless! From now on, she really needed to develop the habit of checking everyone’s divine gifts upon meeting them!
Last time, she had reminded herself to always check players’ talents, but with so many people she encountered daily, she sometimes truly overlooked it.
Yu Xunge silently etched this lesson into her heart.
She would deal with the information-selling matter another day; for now, she needed to find a way to hide her thoughts and also a method to prevent others from sensing how much wealth she had. Especially the latter—it was a flaw she had never considered.
Why could the Soros pocket watch’s **Concealment** only block divination…?
Oh heavens, how many of her thoughts had Baozi overheard in her past life!!!
Shameless! This skill was truly too shameless!
She would have it sooner or later!
When Yu Xunge returned home, she deactivated her disguise skill and successfully dug the money box out from Tu Lan’s grasp—this dragon had the same flaw as He Qipa; she was a beauty lover. According to her own words, the reason she had been willing to follow Yu Xunge was not only because of Yu Xunge’s strength but also because she was pretty.
When the money box was taken away, Tu Lan whined, wanting to keep it a few more days for her.
Tu Lan rolled around on the bed: “Other people’s masters let their pets keep their things~”
Yu Xunge wouldn’t indulge her: “Cuteness won’t work here; we have an equal contract. You’re not a pet.”
Tu Lan turned over, lying on her side, propping her chin with her wing tip, and lamented: “You’ve changed. You used to say you needed me to protect you, that I was your only friend, and you even held me up high saying I was a Chihuahua. Now, I just want to play with some gold coins, and you’re scolding me. In those few seconds when you took that box of gold coins, were you thinking about your money, or whether your Tu Lan baby was lonely at home today?”
Yu Xunge: “…………”
**Chapter 150: Oh right, Mom has a fertile constitution**
Tu Lan: “I get it, silence is also an answer.”
Yu Xunge silently picked up the tablet from her bedside, unlocked it—opened the video app—checked the viewing history…
Hmm? Just animations, nothing wrong.
She glanced around Tu Lan’s vicinity but didn’t see her phone: “What have you been playing lately?”
Tu Lan turned over, presenting her back to Yu Xunge.
Yu Xunge recalled that she had previously let Tu Lan use her phone to get photos from Yi Qiuguo: “Didn’t my mom teach you some nonsense?”
Tu Lan simply lay down and fell asleep.
Yu Xunge resolved to ask Yi Qiuguo directly another day…
Just as she was about to head downstairs for a late-night snack, she suddenly paused. With so many skills, Tu Lan might have a way to help!
So she immediately turned back, sat on the edge of the bed, patted the dragon’s rear, and gently asked, “Our Tu Lan baby is so good at hiding treasures; do you have a way to make it so others can’t see how much money big sister has~?”
Tu Lan: “... Don’t do that, dragons can get scared too.”
A few hours earlier.
Yu Xunge: Defeated by a dragon, no need to flatter.
A few hours later.
Yu Xunge: “Hello, my baby!”
Yu Xunge cradled the little dragon in her arms, pulling out some jerky to feed her: “Sister has a problem; can you help me?”
Tu Lan gnawed on the jerky, mumbling, “What’s the problem?”
Yu Xunge explained how she encountered someone who could sense her wealth and fortune.
Who would have thought that being rich could also be a flaw?
Tu Lan: “That’s easy; I’ll add a layer of protection to your money pouch, just like I hide my divine gift. Others won’t be able to see it.”
Upon hearing that it could be resolved, Yu Xunge immediately took out her money pouch and handed it to Tu Lan. Tu Lan promptly blew a puff of white mist onto the pouch, and a few seconds later, she burped: “Done.”
Yu Xunge happily tucked the money pouch away. Since the dragon said it was good, it was good; she wouldn’t be foolish enough to question it.
Yu Xunge then asked, “Do you know about mind-reading? Do you have any way to prevent others from reading your thoughts?”
Tu Lan shook her head: “No, I’m not very familiar with those creepy skills.”
Yu Xunge held Tu Lan’s dragon claw and corrected her seriously: “It’s called the mysterious side. Repeat after me: mysterious side.”
Tu Lan’s eyes lit up: “Do you have a similar skill?”
Yu Xunge pinched the dragon’s mouth: “Shh, don’t talk. I don’t want to hear it.”
Yu Xunge wasn’t disappointed that Tu Lan couldn’t solve the mind-reading issue; solving one problem was already a win.
