Chapter 180
“Ka Bi, you’re the most sincere and brave goblin I’ve ever met!”
The goblins cheered as they surrounded Yu Xunge, who instantly felt the thrill of reaping rewards. It hadn’t been long since her last visit, and now these goblins were thriving again! She decided to make the rounds of the 35 main cities once more.
While her disguise skill was on cooldown, she simply drank a potion called **Melt Time**, which reset her skill cooldowns.
With the goblins being so proactive, Yu Xunge didn’t even need to introduce her business; the goblins who had already exchanged gold were eager to help her spread the word.
In less than five hours, she had completed her rounds in all 35 main cities.
When she left home that morning, she had 54,802 gold coins; now, she had 79,215 gold!
The wealthy Ka Bi stood at the entrance of Eternal Day City, feeling a strange emptiness. How was she supposed to spend all this money? It seemed impossible to spend it all!
Glancing at her disguise timer, she saw there were still 27 minutes left.
She didn’t want to waste any time; after all, this was precious time earned from a potion, and she was just 800 gold away from breaking the 80,000 mark. She had to make it happen!
Returning to Yasi City would only take a few minutes, so she calculated that she could still spend at least 20 minutes in Zelan.
Yu Xunge decided to search for goblins on a nearby island close to Eternal Day City. Once the Special Affairs Bureau made their entrance, it would be much harder to exchange gold on such a large scale.
Eternal Day City, Eternal Night City, and Four Seasons City were all floating islands, surrounded by thousands of other floating islands. Travel between them was possible via flying mounts cultivated by the Oak Owl tribe, but the fare was always 1 silver coin.
Yu Xunge couldn’t transform into another animal to get there; if she interrupted her disguise skill with another ability, it would go on cooldown.
In the past, that would have been a hassle, but now, with her planetary skills, she had nothing to worry about.
She took out her **Furious Moon Lantern**, glanced at her outfit, and stuffed the lantern into her wide sleeves. She wrapped a pocket watch necklace around her neck—she felt like she was accumulating more and more around her neck; she’d end up with neck problems at this rate.
After setting her star, she began flying toward the nearby floating island, the second largest after Eternal Day Island.
Once on the island, she stowed the lantern and ran toward a building that clearly had a goblin aesthetic.
Fifteen minutes later, Yu Xunge walked out of the engineering shop, thoroughly satisfied.
81,588 gold—what a lucky number!
As she passed a general store, she casually glanced inside and spotted a shabby orc trying to sell something to the Oak Owl shopkeeper. That something was a bone tile, and Yu Xunge could clearly see the skeletal writing on it: **40,000**!
Yu Xunge rushed over just as the transaction reached a critical moment.
And there it was, the inscription on the tile—**40,000**!
She didn’t know how to play mahjong, but she was good at poker. No matter how mahjong was played, it wouldn’t alternate between odd and even, right?
If she could just form a sequence, maybe she could figure out what made this tile special.
Yu Xunge decided she would take some time to learn how to play this game once she got back.
The orc said, “Can you give me a bit more? I need to buy some potions. I can’t tell where this came from, but getting it wasn’t easy!”
The Oak Owl shopkeeper, who had a pair of wings behind him, placed the bone tile on the table and said calmly, “I can’t tell where this came from. It’s 5 gold, and that’s my final offer.”
Seeing the orc struggle, about to hand over the tile, Yu Xunge didn’t bother to continue reading the shopkeeper’s divine talent. She raised her hand and shouted, “I’ll give you 50 gold!!!”
Fifty gold—she shouted it with the force of 5 billion!
The Oak Owl shopkeeper glanced at Yu Xunge, his expression unchanged, but she sensed a hint of hostility. She quickly pulled out a hundred gold coins, stuffed them into a pouch in front of the orc, and said, “One hundred gold. This item is precious, but I can only offer this much. If I give you more, you’ll be in trouble.”
Then she pulled out a level 13 chainmail and a pair of level 13 heavy boots, which she had obtained during a dungeon cleanup with the Tulan Guild’s Special Affairs Bureau. They were just right for the orc. “Here are two pieces of equipment; I hope they can protect you.”
Next, she took out twenty high-grade healing potions, five high-grade antidotes, and five high-grade invisibility potions. “And these potions; I hope they can help you.”
Sincerity is an SSS-level divine talent!
Spending money is the first divine skill of an SSS-level divine talent!
The orc didn’t care about the 200 gold price set by the Oak Owl shopkeeper. He placed the **40,000** tile into Yu Xunge’s hand, his palm almost as large as a goblin’s head enveloping her small hand. He gruffly said, “The Beast God will bless you in your next life to be reborn in our tribe!”
Yu Xunge thought: No need for that!!!
You’ve been blessed by the Beast God and ended up like this; why would I want to go to your place?
After leaving a parting curse, the orc swiftly took the gold and equipment and left.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t tempted by the 200 gold; it was that the goblin’s words, “If you take more, you’ll be in trouble,” struck a chord with him.
More importantly, the goblin’s offer was comprehensive—money, equipment, potions—she had clearly put herself in his shoes, and he was genuinely moved!
Compared to the Oak Owl shopkeeper’s initial attitude, the orc chose the goblin without hesitation. He feared that if he took the Oak Owl’s 200 gold, he might be thrown off the floating island tonight.
The moment Yu Xunge acquired the tile, she heard the system notification. She didn’t have time to check; she tucked the tile away and used **I’m in a hurry** to teleport outside the shop, ready to make a quick escape.
There were only 7 minutes left on her disguise timer, and she would just make it back in time.
However, as soon as she landed, her view was filled with a luxurious robe.
A familiar scent filled her nostrils as she slowly looked up to see a face of exquisite beauty, framed by a white fox tail with a black tip against the sky.
And above her, a line of red text read: **Mist Blade Level 120 100%┃100%**.
Mist Blade!!!
In the next moment, she felt herself frozen, unable to channel her magic, all her skills disabled.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the Oak Owl shopkeeper, who had chased her to the door, suddenly slam it shut.
Mist Blade’s tail flicked, and she floated up, mist swirling around them, enveloping both her and Yu Xunge.
The **Malicious Detector** around her neck didn’t vibrate, but she didn’t think Mist Blade was someone easy to deal with. Yu Xunge quickly stored the pocket watch that was pressed against her body into her game backpack.
Mist Blade asked, “Do you know what that is?”
After she spoke, Yu Xunge found she could move her face again. The first thing she did was take out **Melt Time** from her false teeth and swallow it, then reactivated her disguise skill.
Mist Blade’s gaze turned noticeably colder.
Yu Xunge met Mist Blade’s eyes with calmness, feigning ignorance of the power’s danger, and said, “I don’t know, but my master asked me to collect it for him.”
Mist Blade didn’t doubt the goblin’s words; only those standing at the tip of the tail had the right to understand such things. She had a couple of trusted subordinates helping her collect, but she would never reveal the true value of the item to them.
But this was troublesome; this charming goblin was someone else’s minion… and she also carried a faint scent of dragons.
Mist Blade asked, “Are you connected to the dragon clan?”
Yu Xunge’s heart sank, realizing Mist Blade had caught the scent of Tulan.
When she first encountered Mist Blade, she had not only sprayed perfume given by Hufflepuff but had also mingled with thousands of moon foxes along the way. The complex scent from the library’s gathering of moon foxes might have concealed her identity.
This time, she hadn’t sprayed anything and had come directly from Zelan, but after spending so much time there, could she still be detected by Mist Blade?
Or was it because she had spent too long with Tulan, becoming infused with his scent?
This realization felt like a heavy stone pressing down on her; it was a mark more unique and deadly than her ID or appearance.
She maintained her composure and said, “I don’t know. All I know is that I can earn a lot of gold every month, and if I collect this item, I’ll receive a reward.”
Mist Blade replied, “Sell me what you just bought, and I’ll pay a high price. Whatever your master gives you, I’ll double it.”
Yu Xunge fell silent for a moment. Before she could think of how to respond, the central tail of Mist Blade suddenly flicked toward her, brushing against her face.
Yu Xunge thought, Oh no: “What’s this?! Why is the tail moving while we’re talking?!”
Mist Blade smiled slightly, “Even if you try to run now, it won’t matter. I will find you. Think carefully: sell it to me, and I’ll lift the curse on you.”
Yu Xunge replied without hesitation, “How can I be sure you’ll really lift it?”
Mist Blade said, “I never lie.”
Yu Xunge scoffed, “What’s that supposed to mean? I can lie without saying anything.”
Mist Blade: “…” You’re quite the debater; you must be good at tile games.
Thinking of the dragon clan, her tail flicked again, and she set up a barrier around them.
