Chapter 234
No matter what kind of mood Yu Xunhuan was in, late at night, an owl swooped down on him at the villa and knocked him out with a brick. When he came to, he found himself in a dungeon, and the other party had even gifted him a gold coin. He stared blankly at the coin, squeezing it in his hand...
Then, his jaw was dislocated, and he was force-fed a bottle of sleeping potion, along with a good amount of seawater.
After he passed out, Yu Xunge began to use her skill, "I Want to Improve So Much."
It took her eight tries before she felt she had successfully stolen something.
She opened her character panel.
Luck: 10 (【1】- Recovering: 21:35:17)
It worked!!!
In contrast, Yu Xunhuan's luck had dropped to 0.
This method was indeed feasible!
At that moment, Yu Xunge felt a sense of happiness akin to an old lady finally using the plastic garbage bags she had hoarded for decades at a crucial moment! Look, look! She had said that some trash, if kept, would eventually come in handy!
Even if that one point of luck disappeared after the freezing time ended due to her luck being maxed out, she wouldn’t be at a loss; as long as it meant Yu Xunhuan wouldn’t be so lucky anymore, that was enough!
Yu Xunge opened "Renovate," ready to spend a bit more luck, but to her surprise, she noticed that the equipment on Yu Xunhuan was also glowing. What did that mean? Could her skill actually dismantle the gear he was wearing?
She tried to take apart the necklace around Yu Xunhuan's neck, and it worked!
She went ahead and dismantled all the equipment on him, but unfortunately, nothing special came out of it. Once the time passed, she drank "Melt Time" to refresh all her skill cooldowns and changed Yu Xunhuan's luck to 2—she was worried that with his high luck, she wouldn’t be able to steal anything.
She announced the rules again—feed him the antidote—shake him awake—hand over the gold coin—drug him again—oh brother, I want to improve so much!
Yu Xunge stayed underwater until 9 AM the next day—mainly because "Renovate" took half an hour to use, and she had used it eight times, spending a total of four hours just on that...
While using "Renovate," she casually checked all her blank skill crystals, and there were no issues.
She used "Melt Time" without holding back, and during that time, she transformed into a goblin to grind out her daily three gold coins.
In the end, she managed to steal Yu Xunhuan's luck from 10 down to 1, not because she didn’t want to bring it to 0, but because the minimum luck was 1...
At that moment, her luck panel displayed:
Luck: 10 (【1】- Recovering: 11:27:35) (【1】- Recovering: 150:47:19) (【1】- Recovering: 151:38:35)…
Behind the maxed-out 10, there were nine luck points currently recovering.
Yu Xunge was satisfied. She pried open Yu Xunhuan's hand and took back all the gold coins she had given him earlier, then gave him a good beating, breaking bones, and fed him a mid-level healing potion.
What a nuisance! The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!
During this time, she even tried to chop off his hand, but unexpectedly, a swarm of little snakes surged out from the severed stump, quickly forming a new arm, though Yu Xunhuan's maximum health dropped by 5%.
This only fueled Yu Xunge's enthusiasm!
Five minutes later, there was a pile of stinky arms at her feet, and Yu Xunhuan, who had once had a health pool of two thousand, was now down to just two hundred.
When Heifei received this fragile little doll, the entire dragon was stunned for a few seconds. The usually arrogant and cunning face showed a rare hint of confusion: "Is this still my pet?!"
Yu Xunge: "..." What a stupid question. Can't you feel the bond of the pet contract?
Heifei poked Yu Xunhuan with the tip of his tail, sending him rolling a few times on the spot. He really looked like a peculiar creature, with a round belly.
To her surprise, with that poke, Yu Xunhuan began to vomit on the ground. He had drunk so much sleeping potion, awakening potion, and seawater that he was overwhelmed.
Heifei growled, "Look, you broke it! Pay up!!"
Why does it seem like someone is always trying to swindle her out of money lately? Is this dragon addicted to money? That would be a disaster!
Yu Xunge held her breath, "No!"
With that, she shot up into the sky and flew away.
Heifei, furious, chased after her, casting several skills. The people of Dinghai surrounded him, coaxing him gently to calm down.
They had already discovered that Heifei wasn’t that hard to please. It was precisely because he was clever that he knew who could be bullied without repercussions. He had a bad temper, but he took all his frustrations out on Yu Xunhuan and never laid a hand on the people of Dinghai.
His daily hobbies included sleeping and watching movies and anime featuring divine dragons. It was no exaggeration to say that he could drool all over the place, and Yu Xunhuan had to wipe his mouth with a towel.
Heifei's obsession was to transform into a dragon. He had emphasized more than once that as long as Blue Star could help him evolve into a divine dragon, he would protect Blue Star for five hundred years—recently, he had even raised the offer to six hundred years.
Dinghai was also interested. It could be said that as long as Tulan wasn’t Yu Xunge’s, Dinghai was tempted to take action!
Even though Zhao Shuying had repeatedly stressed that the dragon clan was neutral and warned against provoking greater trouble just for Heifei's protection, wasn’t Blue Star’s current trouble already significant? How many dungeons had been unlocked in the deep sea...?
At worst, they could let Heifei transform into a dragon first, and later Dinghai could do everything possible to help Tulan evolve back, right?
But the problem lay with Yu Xunge. This ancestor didn’t know what she was doing, and her honor points were increasing by thousands. Although she claimed she hadn’t figured out the situation yet—Dinghai believed her, as the game invasion had only been less than a year, and there were too many unsolved mysteries—but just based on the fact that these were game-certified honor points, everyone knew that what she was doing was undoubtedly beneficial to Huaxia, and even to the entire Blue Star.
So even the most radical faction within Dinghai didn’t suggest taking action against Tulan for Heifei.
However, there were discussions about whether to use this situation to fish for information. They wanted Heifei to help locate the underwater dungeon’s light curtain, and once Heifei's honor points reached a certain amount, Dinghai would find a way to get some dragon blood for him from Zelan.
If they couldn’t get it, they would just drag it out...
Heifei was still unaware that Dinghai had already started pondering how to make him work for free. He pushed Yu Xunhuan, sighing in annoyance. What a waste of a pet! Thankfully, he hadn’t died; if he had, Heifei figured he would have followed him.
He was too fragile. Heifei wrapped his tail around Yu Xunhuan, upgrading his lowly snake servant to a third-tier snake servant.
In as short as six months or as long as a year, Yu Xunhuan's legs would transform into a snake tail, and in two more years, he would become a black snake.
Hmm, not bad! Just thinking about it made him feel better... He really didn’t know why he hadn’t thought of this before; it was such an easy thing to do.
Yu Xunge went home for a quick nap, then headed straight to the City of Eternal Day to attend class with Lucia, while also checking if Tulan's "expert account" had sold.
Tulan? Tulan had already transformed from an ice dragon into a mud dragon, and Yu Xunge couldn’t even be bothered to call her by name.
After class, Yu Xunge couldn’t help but take out the "Melt Time" she had crafted to show Lucia.
Lucia took it with delight, examined it, and then gave her a powerful hug: "You’re a genius! When I taught you in the City of Eternal Night, I thought it would take you until next year to succeed."
That was a bit exaggerated!
Yu Xunge couldn’t suppress the smile on her face. She said, "Hufflepuff said that melting time is actually quite simple."
"If she can learn it, then it must be easy," Lucia said, squatting down to meet the little owl's eyes, handing Yu Xunge a high-level potion recipe. Her tone was sincere as she said, "Class reward. Although I’ve only taught you a few lessons and can’t really call myself your teacher, I’m proud of you."
Yu Xunge left Lucia's house in a daze, clutching the potion, and headed straight to the City of Shadows. When she presented the potion to Hufflepuff, he inspected the finished product and responded with a restrained nod: "Not bad. I shall call you Little Hufflepuff."
Yu Xunge: …………
**Chapter 304: Luck: 10 (+1)**
Little Maqi: "Hahahahahahahahahaha!"
Hufflepuff frowned: "Is that funny?"
Little Maqi replied in surprise: "Not funny? I’m just happy for Little Hufflepuff."
Hufflepuff’s expression softened: "Hmm, good child."
Yu Xunge: "………" Little Maqi, you little sycophant! I used to think you were a good kid.
But she had other matters to attend to today, so she held back! She took out a few boxes of rice produced by the "Rice Cross" and handed them to Little Maqi to take to the kitchen, then asked Hufflepuff: "Teacher, do you know about equipment binding stones?"
Hufflepuff pointed to some materials that needed processing nearby, and Yu Xunge immediately went over to help. Hufflepuff slowly said, "Yes, but don’t use too many."
Is the burden of the soul really related to equipment binding stones? No wonder such an important item only costs 100 gold. Yu Xunge asked, "Is it because you can’t add too much burden to the soul?"
"Yes," Hufflepuff explained. "The soul is the source of power. If you add too many things to it, you won’t notice it at first, but it will greatly affect development in the later stages. Moreover, there are places that only consciousness can enter; the body cannot go in. The items bound to your soul will follow you in, which seems convenient, but correspondingly, they will also weigh down your reaction speed. Don’t underestimate the weight of that little bit hanging on your soul. It’s best not to exceed five items bound to your soul."
Yu Xunge gasped, "What happens if you exceed that?"
