Chapter 172
Packing wasn’t a big deal; her gaming backpack had a change of clothes and toiletries.
Once everything was ready, Yu Xunge asked Tu Lan, “Are we going to B City?”
Tu Lan replied, “What’s the point of going there?”
Yu Xunge said, “To take revenge.”
Tu Lan’s grip on the controller slipped as she exclaimed, “What on earth did you do before I came along? How did you end up with so many enemies?”
Yu Xunge sighed, “That’s just how exceptional people are.”
Tu Lan felt a bit nauseous. “Sometimes when I talk to you, I end up feeling all choked up, like I want to throw up but can’t, or I want to swallow but can’t. What do you guys on Lanxing call that feeling?”
Yu Xunge replied, “That’s called admiration.”
Tu Lan: ...
Despite her reservations, Tu Lan followed Yu Xunge into the car because Yu Xunge mentioned they would swing by to see Shen Yushi—this was her official reason for going to B City.
She stuffed the bag containing Wuxi under the passenger seat, then adjusted Tu Lan to sit comfortably in the front, using her feet to keep Wuxi in place and cover him with a layer of frost mist.
With a fox and a dragon in tow, Yu Xunge drove away from the villa.
As soon as they hit the highway, she received a call from Zhao Shuying.
“Hello? Xiao Zhao, what’s up?”
There was a brief silence on the other end before Zhao Shuying responded, “Lao Ge, where are you headed? Is S City not comfortable for you? We can change plans.”
Yu Xunge winced at the nickname. “...Sister... can you just call me Xiao Yu?”
Zhao Shuying replied, “Sure, Xiao Yu. Why are you leaving S City? Of course, we have no intention of restricting your freedom. You’re free to go wherever you want. But you’re a talent from S City, and we have a certain possessiveness over exceptional talents. You understand, right?”
Tu Lan pointed at the phone on speaker and said, “I admire her.”
Yu Xunge: ...
Zhao Shuying: ?
Yu Xunge explained, “She said she admires you.”
Zhao Shuying replied, “That sounds like a backhanded compliment.”
Yu Xunge teased, “See? You’re too sensitive.”
Zhao Shuying sighed, “...Fine, I give in. Let’s talk nicely.”
Yu Xunge clarified, “I’m just going to B City to see my parents and my grandma.”
She didn’t hide the fact that she already knew about Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo being in B City. There was no need to explain; she was already quite capable, so having some information channels was only natural, right?
Zhao Shuying said, “Got it. Safe travels. I’ve already registered your license plate, so you won’t have to pay any tolls on the highway.”
Yu Xunge replied, “...That’s an impressive perk.”
Zhao Shuying said, “It’s what we should do.”
Yu Xunge hung up, feeling speechless.
She drove north with Tu Lan, stopping every few hours to give Wuxi another dose of sleeping potion.
They set off later than planned, and soon it was dark. Yu Xunge didn’t stop to rest in any city, driving at the maximum speed limit. To pass the time, she sent a few caring messages to Yu Xunhuan.
By 4 AM, they were just over a hundred kilometers from B City.
After receiving Zhao Shuying’s call, Yu Xunge had little hope of keeping her whereabouts under wraps.
But since she was already on the road, she was prepared.
She exited the highway and parked near a field, turning off the engine.
She instructed Tu Lan to use frost mist to surround the car. As she began to read the magic book on moon foxes, she realized that sometimes, as long as she didn’t limit herself to specific skills, many magical powers could be utilized effectively and flexibly, becoming skills in their own right.
For instance, Tu Lan could manipulate frost mist. While she didn’t have a skill to set up a concealment or protective barrier, surrounding them with frost mist could achieve the same goal, right?
Yu Xunge changed her clothes, bent down, and fed Wuxi a tube of basic invisibility potion, pulling him out of the bag.
Next, she took out the irritable moon charm and hung it at her waist, marking Tu Lan as a star. She drank the invisibility potion herself—though the illusion spell had its drawbacks and could be seen through, using it under the frost mist would keep her hidden—and then dragged Wuxi a bit further away.
With the disguise and illusion spell combo fully charged, she took off into the sky.
After leaving enough ice magic energy behind, Tu Lan followed her into the air, keeping a safe distance.
Tu Lan asked, “Why don’t you just let me carry you while flying?”
Yu Xunge replied, “I want to test the limits of my skill.”
With that, she accelerated, quickly matching the speed of the revival train below.
At that moment, her magic power began to drop at a rate of 50 per second.
But at the same time, her health points started to decrease by 1 per second.
It seemed her physical strength wasn’t enough.
When she accelerated again, her health began to drop at a rate of 10 per second.
She even received a negative effect: [Drone].
There was an explanation below.
[Drone]: If you keep flying, you’ll be done for.
But this speed was sufficient.
Though they were still over a hundred kilometers from B City, they were less than seventy kilometers from the Han family estate.
During the flight, Yu Xunge fed Wuxi another bottle of intermediate invisibility potion.
Just before the intermediate potion wore off and her magic power ran out, she reached the area above the Han family estate.
The several villas at the Han estate didn’t have a [Shielding Water Curtain], but there were faint electric arcs surrounding the area.
Yu Xunge poured a few bottles of heavily scented potion, used for practicing fox shadow techniques, over Wuxi to wash away any lingering traces of her scent.
At this point, there was still an hour left before the sleeping potion wore off, but that was fine; the potion would start to lose its effect after taking significant damage. Yu Xunge glanced at Wuxi’s health, which had already automatically recovered to 30%.
Without hesitation, she aimed at Wuxi’s face and cast several magic missiles, disfiguring him completely to ensure that even if there were cameras in S City capturing his face, he wouldn’t be recognized. She then reduced his health to about 5% and fed him 50ml of daughter red before forcefully throwing him into the central building of the Han estate.
High-altitude projectile! The moon fox crashed through the roof of that building.
Soon, the Han family was in an uproar.
Yu Xunge didn’t leave; she needed to see Wuxi die at the Han estate to feel at ease.
She had considered the possibility that Wuxi might get drunk and not go on a rampage like she did, but that wouldn’t be so bad; at least it would ensure he died at the hands of the Han family.
After all, her main goal in giving Wuxi the daughter red was to keep him in a confused state of mind, preventing him from quickly realizing it was a trap. The secondary goal was to let him wreak havoc at the Han estate.
**Chapter 235: The Law of the Jungle**
When Wuxi landed and regained consciousness, he was momentarily dazed. As the Han family members rushed in, they instinctively began to attack upon realizing he was an outsider. Wuxi, under attack, retaliated indiscriminately against all the “foreigners” he could see. His mind was a chaotic mess, and his first instinct was to kill these blue star outsiders and escape to a safe place.
But this was the Han family’s territory.
Exploration-type items are rare and precious for ordinary players, but for major powers, they are essential. Once they have money, every faction will at least prepare one or two exploration-type items.
Before long, the Han family had gathered information on Wuxi.
A level 12 outsider! An elite mini-boss!
Most importantly, his remaining health was less than 3%!!
In the Han family, aside from key figures and main forces at level 8, most players were only level 5 to 7. If Wuxi’s health had exceeded 20%, or even 15% or 10%, they wouldn’t dare to gamble.
They would definitely retreat at the first opportunity and call the Special Affairs Bureau.
But now, with the opponent’s health bar nearly empty, victory was almost within reach. No one wanted to back down, and no one would.
A level 12 elite mini-boss, if he dropped equipment, would definitely yield good loot.
Han Wanli stood at the back of the team, sending someone to call Han Qianshan and Han Qianhai, the family’s luckiest children. Naturally, the final blow would be theirs.
Whenever the Han family raided dungeons, as long as Han Qianshan and Han Qianhai were present, they would always deliver the final blow. The Han family had quickly risen after the game invasion thanks to the luck of these two siblings. While they couldn’t compare to the Yu family’s century-old prestige, they were still a force to be reckoned with in B City.
Well... not that many people were listening.
After Wuxi’s attributes were multiplied by five, and with the level suppression in place, he could take down anyone. However, his current state wasn’t good; he was fighting purely on instinct, and he clearly wasn’t a seasoned warrior. His mind was foggy, and sometimes he would be dazed after being hit.
After over thirty players from the Han family fell, they managed to control Wuxi with crowd control skills and quickly drained his health!
In the final moments, as Wuxi’s movements grew sluggish, Han Qianshan and Han Qianhai finally stepped out from the back and took the lead.
The Han family had been critical of the siblings’ recent reluctance to engage, but Han Wanli’s rewards had become increasingly generous, and the siblings’ luck was indeed useful, so everyone tolerated it.
Before long, Wuxi collapsed, but his health still hovered at 0.13%.
Han Qianshan and Han Qianhai didn’t let their guard down. Seeing that the outsider’s health hadn’t been fully depleted, they moved in to continue attacking until his health reached zero.
