Chapter 360
She couldn't be bothered to find a bandage to cover it up anymore. Let it be; even if Zhao Shuying saw it, it didn't matter.
Then there was that antenna she had snatched from Y125 using the skill called **[Fanxin]**, along with that stolen item.
The former turned out to be a perfect oddity. At this moment, it resembled not so much an antenna as a metallic strip inserted into a purple crystal donut.
**[The Reclusive Teletubby]** (Perfect Oddity):
Worn on your head, you will temporarily lose contact with the world, isolating yourself from it.
You will become invisible, inaudible, untouchable, and untraceable. No one will care or remember you; only the divine can sense your existence. There is no cooldown time, but using it will consume 2000 mana points per second as energy, which can also be replaced with health points. (Because of you, a member of the Mechanical Race will become bald, and you will face its fierce revenge.)
Yu Xunge: ...Um, sorry.
But she really liked this thing!!
It was practically a powerful invisibility skill, with the only downside being its massive consumption.
At 1000 mana points per second, with her current intelligence of 235 points, she only had 15805 mana points without any gear.
In other words, without using any mana recovery skills, her invisibility would last less than 8 seconds...
What could you do in 8 seconds?
But one shouldn't be too greedy. Just the fact that "only the divine can sense your existence" made this item incredibly precious, even if it only allowed for 3 seconds of invisibility.
She took out that icy-cold item.
A glass cup the size of a soda can, filled to the brim with snow, with a dry twig sticking out from the center.
The shape looked suspiciously like... an aromatic candle?
**[Chapter 458: The Snowy Town Pact & The Drunkard]**
**[The Snowy Town Pact]** (???): Crafted by the Moon Goddess, when ignited near the Golden Tree, its snow fragrance nourishes the Golden Tree, causing it to bloom and bear fruit.
Bloom and bear fruit?
After the Golden Tree sheds its leaves, it might still have flowers and fruits.
Yu Xunge tucked it away. She didn't have any rewards related to the Golden Tree at the moment, and even if she did, she would have to wait until she contracted B8017913 to ask it how to use them.
Her third find—**[Drunkard: Skill Memory Feather]**.
This was the item she had been looking forward to the most, aside from the antenna and the Snowy Town Pact.
She summoned Tulan to guard her while she sorted through her treasures and gems.
She also casually dumped out the 47 World Tombs she had scavenged from the battlefield into a temporary pocket inside her clothes, along with the items she had purchased from the Mai Mang Great World, asking Tulan to help her organize and categorize them.
Once she ensured the environment was safe, Yu Xunge held the feather in her hand, and her mind was filled with scenes of Fengtang using this skill.
She saw Fengtang soaring high in the sky, and behind her orange-red wings, a massive shadow of wings suddenly appeared, identical to Yu Xunge's own orange-red light wings.
The shadow of the wings blotted out the sun. With a gentle flap of her wings, the shadow moved in sync.
Golden mist spread out with the wind from the wings, instantly enveloping everything, as if it could turn an entire city into a foggy realm.
Yu Xunge heard Fengtang's voice in her mind.
"This is the wine mist. All beings inhaling the wine mist will fall into a state of confusion, perceiving distorted information, with love, hate, anger, and joy all mixed up, skills becoming chaotic, and their sense of direction thrown off.
"What you see, hear, think, and feel will all be wrong, like being in a drunken stupor. The wine mist does not dissipate, and the **[Confusion]** does not cease!
"Players with lower combat power than yours will definitely be **[Confused]**, while those with higher combat power will be affected less, the greater the difference, the weaker the effect.
"For example, in the world battlefield, your current limit can affect players up to level 10, but when you reach my level, you might only be able to affect those of the same tier.
"This skill consumes not only mana but also the essence of the wine.
"To use **[Drunkard]**, you must first drink to accumulate the essence of the wine. I remember you don't like strong liquor; you can soak your wings in wine. The light wings are not much different from the feathered wings."
Then came lengthy explanations of practice methods and skill principles, interspersed with Fengtang's own insights on lightning attributes.
Yu Xunge listened, entranced.
When Fengtang got serious, she was an excellent teacher. She didn't waste words and was precise in her terminology.
Some necromancer instructors taught like chefs writing recipes, using vague terms like "a little," "some," "just enough," "about," and "you know, the feel of it." If it weren't for her incredible talent, it would have been a real headache to learn.
Fengtang was different. She would say, "You might feel a bit lost at this stage, but that's okay. You can try this or that to gauge whether you're learning it wrong."
She would also point out what to pay attention to at each stage.
If it weren't for the summary she added at the end of the class:
"These are just the basic uses of this skill. Even if it appears on the skill panel, the upper limit is probably only S. If you want to learn more, to the point where the wine mist can cover the sky and envelop a small world, come find me in the Midnight City."
Fengtang was simply perfect...
When Yu Xunge opened her eyes, the feather was still in her hand, though its luster had dimmed a bit. She could feel that if she listened to the class two more times, this feather would disappear.
Of course, the content of the lessons would be repetitive.
Fengtang was more considerate than she had imagined; this skill was genuinely meant for her.
Otherwise, if she had given her a one-time-use skill feather, Yu Xunge wouldn't have had any way to make it work.
Fengtang had no idea she had the Thieving Dragon, which could watch as many times as she wanted.
Yu Xunge stored the feather away and looked at the table, which was now cluttered with various World Tombs. Many of the same types had been gathered together by Tulan, but there weren't many of the same type.
This was the first time she had seen such a variety of World Tombs.
There were triangular metal ones, wooden carvings, soda cans, duck-billed caps, and so on.
She counted; there were as many as twenty-one types, but unfortunately, not a single key had been formed.
Yu Xunge's backpack didn't have enough slots, so she had to put them all into the Magician's Wisdom Tooth.
As for the gems, there were a total of 107 gems. Yu Xunge and Tulan couldn't identify them all, so they set them aside for now, planning to deal with them after contracting B8017913.
Tulan asked, "Are you really going to contract that B8017913?"
Yu Xunge had already mentioned this when she had turned into a gem in the well to escape pursuit.
Although it was a master-servant contract, completely under her control, she still needed to let Tulan know about the potential new family member.
Even if Tulan disagreed, Yu Xunge wouldn't compromise for her, as the assistance from B8017913 was too significant to give up.
Yu Xunge replied, "Yes, but before that, I want to visit Longdao and ask Senior Lizhou how much she knows about the Mechanical Race."
Tulan said, "Sure, then... can I return the dragon blood from Lizhou that I got from the Thorn of Hatred?"
Yu Xunge replied, "That's your own relationship with the dragons. Once the dragon blood is in your hands, you can decide what to do with it."
Those dragons weren't stingy. Every time she went to Longdao, the elders treated her well, whether it was the fruits they offered her on her first visit or the skill **[Absolute Clarity]** that Fengqi had given her. Although she owed them a favor, she couldn't deny their kindness.
Those great dragons weren't stingy, and naturally, Yu Xunge wouldn't be either.
Just then, a private message pinged; it was Zhao Shuying, saying she was outside.
"Wait for me to sell these items to Dinghai, and then we'll head to Longdao."
With that, Yu Xunge used her shadow movement to step outside, releasing the lightning net to welcome her in.
When Zhao Shuying saw Yu Xunge's right eye, she didn't pry further. She had already noticed that Yu Xunge's right eye was problematic, having been wrapped in bandages several times.
She just hadn't expected that Yu Xunge would be so unreserved now.
Once inside, she began checking the goods Yu Xunge had brought back. She asked, "Can I ask how you got back?"
Yu Xunge replied, "I just participated in a mahjong tournament to return."
Zhao Shuying: "..." She understood, but it felt quite frustrating.
Yu Xunge kindly reminded her, "I don't know if you can use skills to return after you get there. Maybe you can, maybe you can't. Just be careful."
"We understand," Zhao Shuying thanked her. "We've done a lot of divination, and it's all been very ominous, so we haven't sent anyone over for now."
**[Chapter 435: Those Moments & The Leader]**
Dinghai had all sorts of tricks up its sleeve, so Yu Xunge didn't worry about it and didn't say more.
After confirming the goods were correct, Zhao Shuying placed the gold coins on the table.
Actually, it wasn't much—just a mix of a dozen or so items, plus the final umbrella, totaling only 50,000 gold coins.
Although they had joked that Dinghai's liquidity had all flowed to Yu Xunge, everyone knew it was just a joke.
Given the uncertainty of whether items from another world could be used in Zai Jiu, Dinghai couldn't possibly invest too much money into it.
They certainly wouldn't issue Yu Xunge a blank check, letting her buy whatever she wanted, with Dinghai covering it all later.
If the divination results hadn't been good, they wouldn't have even bought this 50,000 gold coin worth of goods.
Yu Xunge directly accepted the gold coins, and her wealth ranking shot back to the top. She glanced at it; it was still in anonymous status, so she simply removed it.
After confirming the amount was correct, she took some out and tossed it to Tulan as pocket money, as she had contributed to the initial funds for buying items.
