Chapter 288
As Yu Xunge was crouching down to stuff a psychedelic cactus under the sofa, she paused, suddenly realizing she couldn’t answer the question. All her important items were already in her backpack...
But she replied with confidence, “Isn’t it just being cautious about someone sneaking into our home to set traps? I’m just taking the initiative! Besides, you’ve got all those toys and your precious comic books that need protecting!”
Tu Lan had no retort; she knew those definitely needed safeguarding!
At 11:30 PM on the 14th, Yu Xunge changed into a snug tank top and long pants, layering a hoodie and a trench coat over them—not to look cool, but to have more fabric on her in case it came in handy later, like for masks, bandages, or lighting a fire.
She considered hiding a dagger or wrapping some gauze around her wrist, but after the game invasion, unless it was useless junk or ordinary clothing, even the most mundane but potentially lethal kitchen knife would be game-ified, turning into a gray-quality item.
She didn’t plan to stay on Lanxing; she wanted to head to Zelan early. She was curious whether the timing for entering the battlefield was based on the world her body was in or the world represented by her own race.
However, when she opened the shoe cabinet, she found a note inside—“[Do not choose the resurrection skill].”
It was in her handwriting, and next to it was a little anecdote from elementary school that only she would know, proving that this note came from her future self.
She had indeed considered selecting the skill “You wait, I’ll go home for a bit” from the “Immortal” talent, since several skills from “One-Person Party” wouldn’t change much.
“I’m just too eager to improve,” she thought. But looking at Wu Ren Feng Tang, it was clear that those entering the world battlefield were all big shots. Even Wu Ren got seriously injured coming out of the battlefield.
The gap in attributes between her and those big shots was like a chasm; even if she stole for a month using “I’m just too eager to improve,” she might not catch up. It would be better to use “Reverse Moment” to find a Scorpion Stele instead.
Not to mention that every time she acted, it would cost her health points. If all her skills were sealed inside, and without healing potions, she could end up killing herself just by stealing a few times...
The effect of “Out in the World, Identity is Self-Given” was minimal; without potions, she would reveal her true form every two hours.
In a situation where the power gap was so vast, survival was the most important thing. What she looked like or what identity she had was the least of her concerns, especially since she had Tu Lan with her. If she needed Tu Lan’s help, her identity would be hard to conceal.
As for “One-Person Party”… how long could she really hold back the strong?
She tore up the note, put on the lightest and most mobile sneakers, and headed to Zelan.
Yu Xunge hid with Tu Lan near the underwater volcano, pulling out the “World Tomb Forest · Oak Owl · 678” to piece together the World Tomb Forest Key★.
After selecting it, a small box popped up in front of her, displaying the words “Ticket” (0/1).
Yu Xunge placed the prepared “Nine Stripes” inside.
The box closed, and an ethereal voice echoed in her mind.
—“Welcome, player Yu Xunge from Zai Jiu Xing, to your first activation of entry into the world battlefield.”
—“Human battlefield language activated, confirmed as player Yu Xunge’s native language—Chinese.”
—“World battlefield game qualification activated. You will participate in the 35,155th Divine Game.”
—“If you do not participate in the Divine Game for over 50 days, you will permanently lose your game qualification.”
Yu Xunge was momentarily stunned by the name Zai Jiu Xing, while Tu Lan nervously grasped her shoulder, “What if I can’t get in?”
Yu Xunge reassured her in her heart: “You won’t. Elder Xue Dui didn’t ask if I had collected any specific world tombs; instead, he clearly stated that you should go train in the tower, which means we’re considered one entity. If you’re worried, just step into the pet space first.”
Without replying, Tu Lan dashed into the pet space.
Rather than worrying about whether Tu Lan could enter, Yu Xunge was more concerned about whether her skills would still work...
After waiting a bit longer, when the underwater world clock struck 11 PM, and the Lanxing time turned to midnight on the 15th.
Suddenly, everything went dark, and her body plummeted into the void.
—“Detected two world tombs. You will gain the qualification to leave the room and enter the main battlefield two minutes early.”
—“Detected world tombs: 30,000, 50,000, 70,000. You can unlock three items.”
Images of all the items she currently possessed flashed in her mind, and she quickly chose “Furious Moon,” “Soros’ Time,” and “Magician’s Wisdom Tooth.”
As she made her selections, a lantern and a pocket watch appeared before her. Thankfully, the game was somewhat intelligent and didn’t pull out her tooth; she immediately stashed the lantern inside the wisdom tooth. As for the pocket watch… she put that in too, since the game was a bit dim-witted and had removed the chain from her watch.
—“Detected your entry into the world battlefield credential as a one-star key—World Tomb Forest · Oak Owl · 678. You and your pet may choose one divine talent skill to unlock.”
Only one divine talent skill could be unlocked, so naturally, she prioritized unlocking hers over Tu Lan’s.
Since she couldn’t choose a resurrection skill, then...
—“I can just steal it directly!”
Not only because her future self warned her against taking a resurrection skill, but also because Wu Ren’s earlier words contained a lot of information. For instance, why did she say she didn’t have the guts to go in three times? She was only at a low level, and Wu Ren wouldn’t fail to see how weak she was, yet he didn’t worry about her dying after just one entry...
Rather than taking other skills that wouldn’t change the outcome, it was better to take this one.
If she really encountered a coveted SSS-level divine talent, at least it wouldn’t be a wasted trip...
**Chapter 374: Divine Game: Little Painter 1**
Once she selected the divine talent she wanted to unlock, she felt her descent speed increase. Her equipment was forcibly removed and locked away in her game backpack, all disguise skills vanished, and she returned to her original form.
Before long, a light appeared beneath her feet, and in an instant, the darkness around her faded. She saw a small room materializing below her and immediately flapped her wings, landing gently.
The opening above closed, trapping her inside the room.
Her Lanxing clothing, devoid of any protective effects, remained unchanged, and her orange-red wings were still there. She looked around and found herself in a square room.
Her height barely reached a quarter of the room’s walls, which were about 7 meters high. The walls on all sides were transparent, allowing her to see outside.
To her left was a room similar to hers, also square, where a creature with a shark-shaped head and a tail that nearly wrapped around the entire room stood upright.
Noticing Yu Xunge looking at it, it bared its teeth and said something, but the room was soundproof, so she couldn’t hear.
Yu Xunge then glanced to the right, where a giant at least 5 meters tall was squatting in a small room, filling it to the brim. When she looked at him, he waved at her with a pitiful expression.
Yu Xunge didn’t move. First, she tore off the hem of her trench coat to cover her face, then crouched down to pull out her shoelaces, using them as a chain to hang the pocket watch around her neck. She needed to modify her personal information and divine talent information.
However, when she opened the game panel, she found the information had been simplified to the extreme.
**Zai Jiu · Human Race** Yu Xunge
**Health Points | Mana Points**: 100% | 100%
**Essence**: 12,535
**Pet**: Tu Lan
**Combat Power Rating**: Tier 2
**Divine Talent**: One-Person Party
**Skill**: I Can Just Steal It Directly: Bet on the name of the neighboring Thief God to steal the target’s divine talent. This skill can only be used once in a lifetime. (If the stolen divine talent level is SSS, there’s a chance of failure.)
There was no other information. She immediately changed “I Can Just Steal It Directly” to “I’m Happy Again.”
The panel information changed, and she had initially thought of using Reverse Moment to directly swap attributes upon entering, but it seemed that wouldn’t work.
As for the combat power rating? That rating was probably just a number like player levels and wouldn’t truly change her strength. Swapping it might not only be meaningless but could also attract danger.
Yu Xunge kicked off her shoes, tossing them aside, and stood barefoot. With her current physical strength, those ordinary clothes offered no protection whatsoever, and she had wings, allowing her to fly without touching the ground.
After sorting out her panel information, she finally felt ready to walk to the window of the room and gaze at the outside world. She saw that, apart from the walls on either side, there were square rooms stacked neatly in front of her, below her, and above her, densely packed with all sorts of creatures.
Most of the creatures were quietly waiting, while a few, like her, were staring in shock at the new world they had just stepped into.
There were too many rooms to see the end, and she couldn’t tell where these little houses were located—was it a desert? The starry sky? Another world or planet? Or a sandbox created by the gods?
