Chapter 233
Yuxun Ge was a one-person team, but she still had to memorize various codes prepared by the Special Affairs Bureau. When the time came, if she needed to collaborate or seek help, she could recognize others through these codes.
Zhao Shuying asked everyone present to write down their skill requirements. Before the operation, the Special Affairs Bureau would prepare three B-level skills for each person.
What a generous offer... Although she often had access to A and S-level skills, B-level skills were already extremely precious for the current stage of Blue Star.
Even an organization of the caliber of Dinghai would find it challenging to produce so many B-level skills at once. With seven small teams, excluding her, if each of the other six teams had only nine members, they would need to provide 153 B-level skill books for this operation alone.
Yuxun Ge didn’t hold back; everyone was indeed risking their lives for this mission. Although the primary goal was survival, who could say for sure if they would make it?
Even Yuxun Ge couldn’t be certain she would come out alive. A group of novices in their teens going to steal from the territory of the Xiangxiao—sure, the top area of the tower was accessible only to those who had climbed it, but after stealing, they would have to exit the protective shield. Would they survive even ten seconds?...
After pondering for a moment, Yuxun Ge wrote down three categories: escape skills (preferably ones that could break most binding or imprisonment skills), shield skills, and attack skills that measured damage as a percentage of health.
Once Zhao Shuying finished her own wish list, she stood up to collect everyone’s lists. When she reached Yuxun Ge’s, she sent it back, saying, “Change the first and last ones; there aren’t any B-level skills that strong!”
Yuxun Ge: “…” If they don’t exist, they don’t exist. Why say it so loudly?
She thought for a moment, crossed out the first wish in parentheses, and replaced the third with “ranged attack skills (the quieter and more concealed, the better).”
Zhao Shuying put away Yuxun Ge’s wish list, wearing a look of exasperation that she still had to keep smiling through, and said, “May you live a long life!”
Yuxun Ge accepted the blessing, replying cheerfully, “You too.”
Zhao Shuying: “…”
Bending down, Zhao Shuying spoke to Tu Lan in an exceptionally gentle voice, “Feel free to express any needs you have~~~”
Yuxun Ge couldn’t help but shiver, and Zhao Shuying pressed down on her shoulder, saying, “Be careful; don’t shake Tu Lan off!”
Tu Lan pulled down her small sunglasses, looking cool as she said, “Yeah, watch it.” Then she looked up at Zhao Shuying and sweetly added, “Sister Shuying~~ I want an S-level skill.”
Zhao Shuying laughed, patting Tu Lan on the head, and said to Yuxun Ge, “This kid is really funny.”
With that, she straightened up and walked away.
Tu Lan: “…”
Yuxun Ge felt relieved; it was the first time she found Zhao Shuying’s words so endearing!
Though Zhao Shuying could be infuriating, her efficiency was truly impressive. That night, Yuxun Ge received three skills she had sent over.
【Short Break】: Temporarily removes B-level and below binding skills, granting the user 3 seconds of freedom. After 3 seconds, the previously escaped binding skills take effect again, and the binding time is extended by 5 seconds.
【Blood Shield】: Consumes 30% of health to create a shield that lasts for 12 hours, capable of absorbing damage equal to 10% of your health; casting time is 3 minutes, and the shield cannot stack, with no cooldown.
【My Silence is Deafening】: Using this skill inflicts a mental shock on the target, with a 10% chance to render them deaf for 5 seconds; casting time is 0.5 seconds, consuming 200 mana, with a cooldown of 3 minutes.
Yuxun Ge immediately learned all three skills and sent back a polite message to Zhao Shuying, saying, “I’ll shed the last drop of blood for Dinghai!”
She received Zhao Shuying’s comment, “These skills you chose don’t look like they’ll make you bleed.”
Yuxun Ge had no strength to argue and sent Zhao Shuying 10g of Moon Sand, saying it was for the Special Affairs Bureau to study. She had previously given 10g to Heqipa, so she felt she couldn’t just give the Special Affairs Bureau 5g; otherwise, she would feel guilty…
But she chose the paid pickup option, so charging 300 gold for 10g of Moon Sand didn’t seem unreasonable!
Tu Lan went out to play mahjong with her friends, and Yuxun Ge glanced at the sky, planning to go find Yuxun Huan.
Next month, they would head to the tower, and if she really stayed inside for 300 years, she worried that her hatred would fade away…
She could reconcile with the Liang family for profit, primarily because the benefits Liang Pozhou offered were substantial;
Secondly, she had already repaid the harm Liang Yuchuan caused her tenfold; at least in her past life, she had been injured but had never been crippled;
Thirdly, because of Liang Yuchuan—his strength and character were annoying as an enemy, but if he were her subordinate, he would be an SSR card! She could definitely keep him as a trump card.
To put it bluntly, if she truly believed the Liang family was worthless, she could design a mission that would eliminate them. This was a backup Liang Pozhou had actively left for her; otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed.
But Yuxun Huan? No one could offer a price high enough for her to let him go, not even if they promised to upgrade her SS-level talent to SSS-level.
While flying through the air, Yuxun Ge thought of Mi Yasi.
Rather than planning ahead for a divine talent, Yuxun Ge leaned towards the idea that he had suffered severe injuries or was trapped in an inescapable situation.
On the brink of death, he could only risk everything to survive. Perhaps going to Dragon Island was originally meant to evade pursuit, and then stealing the dragon scales to arrive in Blue Star early would not only allow him to escape but also plan for upgrading his divine talent.
Otherwise, there would be no need to put himself in a deadlock for a “possibility.”
At least for Yuxun Ge, unless necessary, she would never put herself in a passive position.
In this situation, he “saw” the outcome, meticulously prepared in advance, yet in the end, he still died at the moment of reversal he guarded against the most. Even his mental catcher played a crucial role.
Looking back now, her act of using a skill crystal to glimpse Yuxun Huan’s future seemed strange, yet she did it. Because she had seen the ending in advance, she had already formed a preset in her mind—Yuxun Huan would live until he stole Lin Chengze’s talent.
Yuxun Ge glanced at her personal panel’s luck value: 9 ([1] - recovering: 21:35:17)
She was the one who killed Mi Yasi on the ninth day, used 【Renovate】 that night, and her luck directly became 9, followed by a countdown of 158 hours.
Since she couldn’t truly kill Yuxun Huan before that, could her current state steal Yuxun Huan’s luck? 【I Want to Progress So Much】 no longer had restrictions against attacking the weak, and her current luck wasn’t maxed out…
If her guess was correct, then Yuxun Huan was truly fortunate.
As Yuxun Ge, transformed into Xiangxiao, paused outside the villa courtyard, she spotted Su Yitong driving away. Given how familiar she seemed with the guards, it didn’t look like it was her first visit. Was she also here to cause trouble for Yuxun Huan, just like Yuxun Ge?
Once Su Yitong’s car disappeared from view, Yuxun Ge dove into the villa courtyard, grabbed a brick she had picked up on the way, and smashed it down on Yuxun Huan’s head with all her might. The brick shattered into pieces, and as Yuxun Huan fell unconscious, his health dropped to just 37%.
Yuxun Ge picked up Yuxun Huan, tossed down 50 gold coins, and said to the bewildered Heifei, “I’m borrowing your pet for a bit; I’ll return him before dawn.”
Heifei glanced at the coins and covered them with the tip of his tail.
He used to think he wasn’t interested in money, but ever since he got over 80,000 gold coins, he realized money was quite interesting… Recently, he had been counting it several times a day; it turned out that “not loving money” was just a protective cover for being poor.
He nodded and said grandly, “Take him to play, but don’t kill him.”
Yuxun Ge had already escaped with Yuxun Huan. The people from Dinghai watched for a while but didn’t pursue them. Since Heifei had agreed, why would they chase? As long as Yuxun Huan didn’t die at the hands of the Special Affairs Bureau, it was fine. If he died outside, they would have the perfect opportunity to deal with Heifei.
Yuxun Ge led Yuxun Huan through twists and turns, suddenly regretting selling her apartment instance; she had nowhere to hide while doing bad things!
In the end, she took him to the seabed and found a seabed instance to dive into.
After killing an alien general to lock the instance, she finally began to check Yuxun Huan’s current data.
There wasn’t much change from last time; his charm and luck were still both 10, but his trust value in her had dropped a bit, now only 89. This was understandable, as she was at the top of the level leaderboard but hadn’t provided him with any substantial help.
First, she changed Yuxun Huan’s luck to 1, then poured a bottle of sleeping potion into his mouth. After confirming he had fallen asleep, Yuxun Ge used 【One-Person Party】!
Yuxun Ge announced, “Players with the status of lowest-tier snake servant and unknown curse level II are prohibited from accepting gold coins gifted by others; otherwise, when they encounter theft skills, their luck value will ignore any probability and become the first priority for theft.”
The rule was established, and a 4-minute countdown appeared above Yuxun Huan’s head.
That was enough time for her to test whether she could steal luck.
【Chapter 303: I Shall Call You Little Heqipa】
Yuxun Ge poured an antidote for the sleeping potion into Yuxun Huan’s mouth, roughly shaking him awake, and handed him a gold coin with a bewildered and terrified expression: “Here, this is for you.”
