Chapter 369
B8017913 corrected, “I prefer to use the term ‘simulate’ rather than ‘disguise.’ I can simulate the appropriate emotions based on different scenarios, but you’re different. When I’m with you, your emotions often surface faster than I can simulate.”
Tu Lan commented, “I get it; you were just really angry.”
B8017913 replied, “You don’t understand. I’m not that easy to anger, but… actually, I don’t really understand either.”
Yu Xunge didn’t bother with whether they understood or not; she began examining the skill stones in her hand.
First, there was the SS-level skill, a fire-based area attack skill.
【Li Huo】: Summon a torrent of hellfire to obliterate your enemies. This flame can be controlled and reshaped by you, with damage influenced by your intelligence and critical hit damage; it consumes 1% of mana per second; no cooldown.
The description of this skill was even shorter than her S-level skills, but fewer words meant greater significance. She truly didn’t have a pure attack skill at the SS level.
As for the remaining S-level skills, they were quite good: two healing skills, 【Hui Chun Shu】 and 【Ri Hui】, along with a wind-based attack skill, 【Lie Feng】.
The more healing skills, the better. Yu Xunge welcomed them all, and 【Lie Feng】 was also useful as an area attack skill.
All three skills had their uses; at the very least, they could help reduce the cost of resurrection in the next divine game when she died.
She learned all the remaining A-level and B-level skills, enriching her skill library.
Among them was a skill she particularly wanted, one that allowed her to create magical food—【Qiu Dao Yu】.
After using it, she could extract magical energy from the air to create a filling mackerel.
She immediately made one for Tu Lan to try.
After finishing, Tu Lan savored it for a few seconds and commented, “It’s okay, just average. Not bad, but not great either. Maybe I’ve gotten spoiled from eating your cooking too much.”
Yu Xunge replied, “Oh, that’s good to hear.”
Tu Lan raised an eyebrow, “Why don’t you try it yourself?”
“I’m afraid it’ll taste bad.”
“And I’m not?”
“…”
“Don’t be too complacent.”
【Chapter 480: The Leader of Zai Jiu × The Wealthiest of Zai Jiu √】
After dealing with the treasure mines and skill stones, Yu Xunge brought out the main event: the Snow Country Agreement.
She patted B8017913 on the shoulder, “How do I use this? Do I just light it near the Golden Tree? If I get the Golden Tree’s withered leaves, can I upgrade it into something better?”
B8017913 replied, “Yes, but my suggestion is that if you want to use it most efficiently, it’s best to apply it to the buds of the Golden Tree. This one Snow Country Agreement can make ten buds bloom.”
“At the very least, it should be used on the leaves of the Golden Tree… otherwise, it would be too wasteful.”
Yu Xunge had only obtained withered leaves so far. “What’s the level of withered leaves compared to buds? Is it that withered leaves are just below the buds?”
B8017913 explained, “Withered leaves—withered branches—tree leaves—buds—flower buds—fruits. The highest reward is the tree species itself, and investing a lot of resources gives you a chance to cultivate a Golden Tree yourself. So far, only three players have achieved this.”
Buds… there were still two stages in between.
Her ranking when she obtained the withered leaves was already quite high; it was almost a matter of luck and timing.
Now she needed to leap two levels to obtain buds.
B8017913 added, “Also, each Snow Country Agreement can only be preserved for 255 days. After 255 days, the snow fragrance will completely dissipate within a star sea day.”
Tu Lan panicked, “Why is there a time limit!”
“Because the Snow Country Agreement was created by the Moon Goddess to commemorate a dear friend, and it can only exist for 255 days,” B8017913 explained.
But that wasn’t the worst news. B8017913 scanned the cup of Snow Country Agreement in Yu Xunge’s hand, “This cup you have only has 157 days left.”
This time, Yu Xunge’s expression truly changed.
She thought 255 days was ample time, but 157 days…
The world battlefield opens on the 1st and 15th of every month. Even if she participated every time, 157 days would only allow her to play the divine game ten times.
This meant… if she wanted to maximize the value of this Snow Country Agreement, she needed to obtain rewards that spanned two levels within those ten divine games.
Yu Xunge stored the Snow Country Agreement in the magician’s wisdom tooth, thanked B8017913, and then let everyone take a break.
She needed to think carefully about her next plan.
After resting for a night on Dragon Island, Yu Xunge returned home.
She still had 78 treasure mines without skill stones. She had confirmed with B8017913 that their greatest value lay in the skill stones inside, but the creators of each world always found various uses for them.
Yu Xunge planned to sell 50 of the treasure mines to Ding Hai, while giving the remaining 85 to Hufflepuff.
The former could be exchanged for gold coins or other resources, and the latter wouldn’t be a loss either. Hufflepuff truly regarded her as a student, and when they developed valuable potions, they wouldn’t hesitate to share the knowledge with her.
Once she dealt with these trivial matters, she would go all out to collect from the World’s Grave.
She no longer looked down on the World’s Grave in Ding Hai’s hands. The more she had, the less risk there would be of her keys being dismantled when she died next time.
Zhao Shuying received the news and directly brought two players with special divine gifts to the restaurant private room Yu Xunge had reserved.
Once the two players entered the room, their eyes were glued to Tu Lan, but Yu Xunge could sense that both these players and Zhao Shuying were secretly searching for something.
They were probably looking for her second pet.
Zhao Shuying scanned the room and, not finding anything, was about to give up when she caught sight of a tiny glowing cube floating quietly next to Yu Xunge’s ear.
Though it was called a cube, each side was the same color, a transparent crystal radiating an icy blue glow, which matched Tu Lan quite well.
Zhao Shuying didn’t hold back; she knew that if Yu Xunge wanted to hide it, this pet wouldn’t be out in the open. She pointed at the cube and asked, “Is this your new pet?”
Yu Xunge raised her hand to scratch B8017913, moving it a bit away from her earlobe, feeling a bit ticklish, “Yeah.”
Zhao Shuying asked, “Are you selling it?”
Just as Yu Xunge was about to refuse, she suddenly thought, hey? This could be a business opportunity!
She placed 50 treasure mines on the table, “Take a look at this batch of goods while I think.”
As Zhao Shuying and the two players began inspecting the treasure mines, Yu Xunge asked B8017913 in her mind, “Can you convert other players’ accessory slots into pet spaces?”
B8017913 replied, “Sure, you can. The skill in your skill library called 【Ji Suo Chong Zu】 does just that.”
Yu Xunge pulled up that skill. She had already seen all the powerful skills, but how could she forget that this skill could…
【Ji Suo Chong Zu】 (S-level): Everything is a program. Using this skill can shatter equipment slots, accessory slots, and pet slots for conversion. Conversion ratio: 4 equipment slots = 2 accessory slots = 1 pet slot; each player can only convert once; no cooldown.
That’s great!
While the two professional players were busy checking, Yu Xunge said to Zhao Shuying, “It can be converted. Two equipment slots can be converted into one accessory slot, and two accessory slots can be converted into one pet slot.”
Zhao Shuying immediately took out her phone and started syncing this news in the work group.
From an enhancement perspective, pets were naturally better, but from a cost perspective, having multiple pets meant greater expenses, which would slow down personal leveling.
Good pets are hard to find, and even if you find one, you might not be able to afford to raise it.
Take Tu Lan, for example; Yu Xunge had never skimped on her food and entertainment. Just for daily expenses, it was over a thousand gold coins a month, not counting pocket money.
Not to mention that just the pet contract scrolls cost a fortune.
There was also the issue that pets are hard to replace, while accessories can be swapped out as needed and sold for a refund if they’re no longer useful.
But Yu Xunge didn’t think this business was unfeasible.
The second pet was meant for top players.
Top-tier accessories could be exchanged for rare items and tools, which wouldn’t be affected. Not having an accessory slot wasn’t a significant loss, and top players wouldn’t lack the resources to raise a second pet.
This business was not only feasible but also specifically targeted at paying players.
So when Zhao Shuying said, “555 gold coins for a conversion?”
Yu Xunge replied directly, “Make it three times that.”
Zhao Shuying exclaimed, “Do you even want to be the leader of Zai Jiu anymore?”
Yu Xunge shrugged, “Not really. I just want to be the wealthiest of Zai Jiu.”
Zhao Shuying retorted, “That’s so cliché.”
Yu Xunge shot back, “So, are you buying or not?”
Zhao Shuying replied, “I’ll buy! You’ve hit our sweet spot.”
Yu Xunge: …
So you dare to come in and offer me 555?!!!
【Chapter 481: Honor · 【My World】】
Yu Xunge said, “You know, I’ve heard Ding Hai has been tight on funds lately.”
The evidence was that Ding Hai’s accountants hadn’t made it into the top ten of the wealth rankings for a long time.
Zhao Shuying’s eyes lit up, and she suddenly grasped Yu Xunge’s hand, “Comrade! You! Could it be that you…”
Yu Xunge smiled and patted the back of Zhao Shuying’s hand affectionately, “A special mahjong piece. I’ll convert it for you five times and throw in three treasures…”
Before she could finish the word “mine,” one of the players exclaimed, “Holy crap! My skill just hinted that this thing has a chance to let a player’s professional level break from legendary to epic!”
