Chapter 195
After the contract was signed, Zhao Shuying reminded, "In the coming period, we hope you can dedicate as much energy as possible to leveling up. Regardless of whether you have equipment or not, we will do our best to provide you with gear that suits your level. Our people in Zelan are still gathering information about the tower. Once the artist finishes painting the clock face and our intelligence collection is complete, we will begin our operation. If all goes well, we will conduct a trial run by the end of December. This is a long-term task, and we will keep trying until we succeed."
"I understand. I'll do my best."
"Do you have any dungeon resources? If not, we can provide some for you."
"I have some."
After discussing the important matters, Yu Xunge casually inquired about Su Yitong.
During this time, Yu Xunge had been keeping an eye on the pet leaderboard. Su Yitong would definitely not let the loss of Heifei slide easily. As long as the Special Affairs Bureau wanted to continue using Su Yitong, the Hope Song would have to give her an explanation. So, she checked the leaderboard every day.
During lunch, she noticed a new entry: Su Yitong had a pet named Lǜjiǔ (Green Wine).
Yu Xunge was curious about what made this koala, named Lǜjiǔ, so special that it caught Su Yitong's eye after missing out on Heifei. However, Su Yitong's professionalism was commendable; even though they had a good relationship, she didn't go into detail, only mentioning that the koala was quite cute.
Yu Xunge decided not to press further. After all, it was more urgent and frustrating for Yu Xunhuan at this moment, and she didn't plan to take any action against Su Yitong before the latter had finished using the Hope Song for the Special Affairs Bureau.
The Special Affairs Bureau would definitely keep a close watch on Su Yitong's safety during this time. If she acted rashly, it could lead to a confrontation with them... there was no need to rush.
After leaving the Special Affairs Bureau, Yu Xunge took Tulan directly to the apartment dungeon. Tulan was clutching several figurines, reluctant to put them away, though Yu Xunge had no idea what she had traded for them. But Tulan was smart; she knew when to be sensible and didn't want to control her like a micromanager.
Today, the focus of their visit to the apartment dungeon wasn't leveling up but rather stealing attributes. In the past, Yu Xunge had suppressed her attributes to maintain a sense of urgency, forcing herself to stay alert and think things through.
But now, facing the Oaken Owl royalty and having offended the Mist Blade Moon Emperor, she could no longer afford to hold back. What she needed was a sense of crisis, not a feeling of being on the brink of disaster.
She planned to stack all four main attributes to over a hundred before heading to Zelan, and she also wanted to practice her escape skills, "Fox Shadow" and "Mist Arrival"...
Lately, she felt like she was either stirring up trouble or being pushed into it. Was she destined to be chased down?
It seemed that the task of gathering 100 survival skills needed to be prioritized!
On the way, Tulan asked, "When are we going to play mahjong again?"
Yu Xunge immediately corrected her, "What do you mean by playing mahjong? We call that studying mysterious domino props. I'm teaching you about the essence of Huaxia culture."
Tulan replied, "Huh? Isn't your essence just 'what the heck'?"
Yu Xunge's voice dropped a bit, "…We have many forms of essence."
Tulan nodded seriously, "So when are we going to study those mysterious domino props? Practice Huaxia essence?"
Yu Xunge was still clear-headed. Although she felt a bit tempted, now wasn't the time for mahjong. She helped Tulan download a mahjong game: "Here, you can start with an online course."
Once Tulan was engrossed in the game, she had Xiaolong sit at the dungeon entrance to "study" the essence while keeping an eye on things, and she went in alone to level up.
She intended to reach over a hundred in all four main attributes before heading to Zelan to gather information. She couldn't fully rely on the Special Affairs Bureau for intelligence; after all, as Hufflepuff had mentioned, the disguises of Blue Star people were riddled with flaws for high-level otherworlders, so she would be skeptical of the information they provided.
Well, even if the information from the Special Affairs Bureau was true, she would still investigate on her own!
Zhao Shuying's words had ignited her fighting spirit. Even for the sake of "Furious Moon," she needed to get her hands on as much Moon Sand as possible.
While Yu Xunge was busy capturing isolated otherworlders in corners, eating dishes, and stealing attribute points, Yu Xunhuan had privately messaged her several times, either asking for this or that or complaining.
In the past, she complained about being bullied by Su Yitong; now, it was about being bullied by Heifei.
What could Yu Xunge say? She couldn't comfort Yu Xunhuan by saying at least the one bullying you now wouldn't accuse you of being a wife-killer, so she just listened quietly. She didn't give her any good stuff, but she did provide healing potions and plenty of toxic chicken soup.
— "Take my advice, go apologize to Su Yitong. You could leverage her and the Su family to suppress Heifei." It would be best if she could bring Heifei into the Su family.
— "No way! How could I help her? Yes, I did go listen to her Hope Song, but I’m definitely still on your side."
— "As long as you want to teach Heifei a lesson, just call me anytime. I can use Tulan's power to help you take down Heifei's other dragon horn!"
— "Living off a woman isn't shameful." If Su Yitong was willing to let you live off her, that was truly your blessing.
— "Rounding it off, you could say you saved her! What right does she have to hate you?"
— "Sigh, it's better to be with the original partner. Look at how my parents have bickered for so many years, but they’re actually quite happy."
— "Check the pet leaderboard; she has a new pet now. Any anger should have subsided by now. This is the perfect time for you to seek peace."
— "I don't know what Lǜjiǔ's talent is; I can't find out."
— "I know this isn't right, but have you considered pushing this responsibility onto Lin Chengze and Lancheng? I know you're kind-hearted and can't bear to... but isn't it better than bearing the wrath and revenge of Heifei and the Su family alone?"
Yu Xunge kept chatting, adding fuel to the fire.
In fact, she didn't even need to add fuel; Lancheng was already wanted by the Su family. Not only that, but the Lin family was also after him, claiming he had stolen their belongings. He was living the life Yu Xunge had experienced in her past life, and he was even worse off, as there were many fans out for revenge against him.
Lin Chengze was probably a bit better off; he was only wanted by the Su family. A few days ago, she saw a post on the game forum indicating that Lin Chengze could no longer handle the pressure from Lancheng's pursuers and had already parted ways with him.
Yu Xunge added more fuel to the fire by anonymously posting on the game forum, offering 1000 gold for Lancheng's life, using a trading mode. Players could claim the gold by submitting Lancheng's head.
She even revealed Lancheng's divine talent, letting players who wanted to earn that money weigh their options first; if they were too weak, they shouldn't bother.
**Chapter 253: All Four Main Attributes Over a Hundred!**
A week later, Yu Xunge sat cross-legged on the ground, facing a comatose otherworlder. This was an elite squad leader clad in heavy armor. Yu Xunge stuffed some digestive tablets into her mouth while continuing to eat dishes to restore health, all the while using skills on the squad leader.
Just as she was about to throw up, finally! She got the last constitution point.
Now, without counting various equipment bonuses, her base attributes had all surpassed a hundred, and her health and mana had both exceeded 5000!
**Health:** 5850/5850
**Mana:** 8550/8550
**Strength:** 100
**Constitution:** 100
**Intelligence:** 100
**Agility:** 105
After reaching level 10, she allocated all five unassigned attribute points to agility, bringing it up to 112, and finally called it a day!
Considering the average starting attribute value of 7 points for a level 0 Blue Star beginner, her base attributes were now comparable to those of a level 75 Blue Star player.
The only area where she fell short compared to a level 75 player was that she couldn't equip level 75 gear; her strongest equipment was only "Meteor" and "Ember," with attribute levels around 20.
Stepping out of the dungeon, Yu Xunge skillfully picked up Tulan, who was still engrossed in her mahjong game, and placed her on her shoulder.
These past few days, she had either been teaching the Special Affairs Bureau or grinding for attribute points in the dungeon. She planned to head to Zelan tonight to gather information about the City of Eternal Night and the Peach Crisp, while also clearing out the equipment she had stolen over the past few days; otherwise, her backpack would be overflowing.
During this time, Zhao Shuying had also sent her plenty of information about the Oaken Owl tribe's customs, the legends of the clock, and the data on the Oaken Owls guarding the clock. Whether true or not, she committed everything to memory.
Fully armed, Yu Xunge walked to the delivery locker outside the apartment and retrieved her custom-made 200-piece mahjong set.
So far, she had only seen the bamboo and character tiles; the ones she had ordered were only these two suits. Although she didn't plan to let more people know about the existence of mahjong, keeping it for self-defense was still a good idea. If she encountered Mist Blade again, she could scatter these tiles in a critical moment, buying herself a few seconds to use her escape skills.
Who knows, she might even use these fakes to fish for those who knew how to play mahjong.
She discovered that there were many entertainment activities among the people of Zelan. Their civilization was rich, and their entertainment options were not fewer than those of Blue Star, even including poker. Yet, there was no mahjong. She wondered if powerful beings like Mist Blade were concerned about the difficulty of collecting them, which is why they prevented mahjong from becoming popular in Zelan.
According to Mist Blade, she sensed otherworldly dominoes through the ones on her body, but when Yu Xunge had dug up the "Three Tens" underwater, she couldn't sense anything at all. There must have been some prerequisite conditions that Mist Blade hadn't told her... but collecting more couldn't hurt.
