Chapter 366
Li Zhou noticed Yu Xunge's distress and explained, "I told you, every player has different limitations, just like their potential and talents vary."
"When Songgui reached level 10 in combat power, she triggered a special limitation. Fengtang, it’s said, encountered hers even earlier, at level 8."
Tu Lan could no longer contain her curiosity and interjected, "If Fengtang is stronger than Songgui, why did Songgui end up with a better position in the Four Seasons City?"
Not only was her potential greater, but her ranking on the ladder was also higher than Fengtang's.
Fengtang was ranked over 3190, while Lijiu Haoqing was at over 4200, and as for Taomian, she was even further down.
Li Zhou's tone suddenly grew complex. "Because Fengtang exchanged a large amount of resources and this concession for a rose certificate from Songgui."
"What’s that?"
"Each rose certificate from Songgui can grant a wish. It’s a rare existence; even Songgui has only managed to create seven so far. Once a wish is made with a rose certificate, the threads of fate begin to shift, aligning all factors towards the most favorable outcome for that wish."
"Fengtang's wish... is to resurrect her daughter?"
"Of course, every being knows what her wish is."
"But didn’t Fengtang lose two daughters? If she can resurrect both, does that count as one wish or two?"
"Who knows? Songgui warned Fengtang not to try to take shortcuts, but Fengtang didn’t listen."
"So what was her wish back then?"
"She wished for her daughters to return to her, for the family to be reunited."
**Chapter 475: Discord Among Children Often Reflects Parental Failings**
—"She wished for her daughters to return to her, for the family to be reunited."
This wish, it seemed, had clearly been fulfilled.
But was it really so?
Once, Yu Xunge thought that Su Yitong's desire to replace Fengmu was a pipe dream, but after learning about Fengtang's wish and Songgui's warning, she began to think that perhaps the answer was not so certain.
Yu Xunge thought of herself.
Her and Su Yitong's appearances had "revived" Fengran and Fengmu.
But what about the last life?
Dinghai had somehow resolved the issue with the tower, yet neither she nor Su Yitong had entered it.
The beings who successfully ascended the tower were already rare, and to have the ones revived be Fengmu and Fengran was a probability so low it seemed hopeless.
Had the threads of fate that Fengtang manipulated with the rose certificate also altered her life’s trajectory?
Yu Xunge watched Tu Lan, who was rolling around, asking Li Zhou if there were any more fun things to do.
She couldn’t help but wonder if the likes of Shengbei Xue and the Great Dragon were also part of the shifting threads of fate.
If Liang Pozhou's life script had two endings, perhaps Fengtang and Tu Lan did as well.
As one being after another tugged at the threads of fate, the story veered towards another conclusion...
They chatted for a long time, until the clock struck midnight, marking the end of the 24-hour Diamond Miner game, and their conversation finally came to a close.
Li Zhou sighed, "What a lively scene... Songgui is still the same, never speaking in the battlefield chat channel."
Yu Xunge quietly added another piece of diamond ore to the B8017913 in her pocket. "I’ve never seen her do that either."
Li Zhou's tone was tinged with nostalgia and sadness. "I wonder if she’s had any bad luck in this game..."
Yu Xunge didn’t want to engage, but seeing the forbidden and weak points above Li Zhou's head all pointing to Dragon Island softened her heart.
She casually reassured, "Her losing you is already the unluckiest thing."
Li Zhou suddenly stopped, looking down at Yu Xunge, while Tu Lan perched above her head, also staring at Yu Xunge.
Yu Xunge felt a bit nervous under their gaze. "W-What’s wrong?"
Tu Lan said with a hint of amusement, "So you sweet-talk other dragons like this too..."
Li Zhou echoed in a similarly mournful tone, "Songgui used to speak in this same way."
Tu Lan & Li Zhou: "Heartbreaker!"
Yu Xunge: "..."
Alright, so you two have teamed up again...
The trio bantered as they made their way to the Dragon Nest.
In the deep night at the Dragon Nest, Yu Xunge placed B8017913 beside her pillow. She had already fed it two pieces of diamond ore, and its energy had restored to 10%.
She didn’t plan to give it more; she wanted to wait for B8017913 to wake up on its own and figure out how to recharge itself.
Tu Lan flicked B8017913 with her tail. "Are we going to have to keep finding it charging stuff? I mean, I’m not trying to be mean, I just feel for you. You look so tired, every step is such a struggle, and now you have to take care of it..."
Yu Xunge nudged B8017913, but it didn’t respond, so she said, "It better be able to turn on and charge itself; we don’t keep freeloaders at home."
Tu Lan relaxed. "Exactly."
Just as B8017913 was about to power on and speak, it said, "..."
B8017913: "I really can’t charge myself."
Tu Lan exclaimed, "Wow, you’re not pretending to be dead anymore?"
B8017913: "…I’m not pretending to be dead."
Tu Lan: "Heh, I hope so. My phone turns on at 1% battery, and you’re at 10%. Are you some kind of high-tech marvel? And you still can’t charge yourself... Are you a divine creation?"
B8017913: "Are you jealous? Because I joined you guys."
Tu Lan: "I’m not."
B8017913: "You are."
"I’m not!"
"Ugh... I joined this family just to help Zai Jiu Xun Ge. I have no ulterior motives. Zai Jiu Xun Ge, don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you; I can step back."
Tu Lan: "A master! Little Yu, you’re a master!"
Yu Xunge: "………………"
Discord among children often reflects parental failings.
Yu Xunge wearily rubbed her temples, trying to change the subject. "B80, how do you charge yourself? Is it like in the battlefield, where other mechanical beings use lightning skills on you?"
B8017913: "Well, that’s not a lightning skill; it’s a unique skill of our mechanical race that other beings can’t use.
"If you want to charge me, most products in the Divine Game can do it, but the best value is still the World’s Tomb. Just one World’s Tomb can fully charge me to 100%. After use, it will automatically disappear and return to its original world."
Tu Lan, who had been walking alongside Yu Xunge, gasped, "You’re so extravagant! Do you know how rare that is?"
B8017913 emitted a sound and projected a screen filled with hundreds of skills, the lowest being S rank, and the highest even showing "Divine Level," with three divine-level skills. It calmly stated, "This is my skill library."
Tu Lan fell silent.
But Yu Xunge wasn’t so easily fooled. She pulled Tu Lan into her embrace and said, "Eighty percent of these are gray and unusable."
B8017913: "That’s because your combat power isn’t enough. Even if I authorize you to use them, your attributes won’t allow it.
"The remaining skills are available for you to use at any time, but each use will cost me at least 5% of my energy. If you give me a command to use them, the energy cost will be halved."
Yu Xunge carefully browsed through the over eighty usable skills and asked, somewhat surprised, "Why aren’t there any time or stealing skills?"
B8017913 explained, "Those two skills are very rare. In fact, I’m surprised you can possess both such rare skills at the same time."
Yu Xunge: "Rare?"
She had two: "Furious Moon" and "Thieving Dragon," both different types of time skills.
As for the stealing skill, it wasn’t too uncommon; she had seen "Empty Hands" in Zai Jiu.
B8017913 added, "What I mean is, truly valuable time and stealing skills above S rank are one in a million. Among ten thousand players, there might be one. Even though all beings in the World Battlefield are elites from various worlds, time is not something to be trifled with, so time skills are extremely scarce."
"Can you mechanical beings see all players' skills?"
At this point, Yu Xunge felt uneasy; B8017913 knew she had time and stealing skills.
She had thought that skills that weren’t unlocked couldn’t be detected...
But B8017913 seemed to have figured out she had time skills after just a few encounters.
