Chapter 371
Yu Xunge thought to herself, the vision of the last life when she was drunk was really quite poor.
She confirmed once more and asked, “Is there any other use for the World’s Tomb besides charging you?”
Without B8017913, she would definitely not have discovered this use in the short term.
B8017913 replied, “No, but you can keep some on hand. As the Nightmare Stage begins, the tickets required to enter the Divine Game will increase each time.”
She silently purchased the “My World” item.
A pink piggy bank floated before her eyes.
The piggy bank was small, even a bit smaller than a basketball, and the coin slot on its back was pitifully tiny.
Yu Xunge took out a soda bottle-shaped World’s Tomb and brought it close to the coin slot, which immediately expanded to the size of the bottle’s base.
The World’s Tomb dropped into the piggy bank with a delightful clink.
Her honor points didn’t change, and then a global announcement rang out.
[Zai Jiu Announcement: Thanks to the generous donation from the top player Yu Xunge, who ranks first in the level leaderboard, wealth leaderboard, pet leaderboard, and honor leaderboard, Zai Jiu shines among the stars of the world.]
Yu Xunge’s expression was strange.
Tu Lan felt the same way and asked, “Why does this announcement sound so much like it’s thanking the beautiful rich lady Yu Xunge for sending a rocket?”
B8017913 also heard it: “Exactly.”
Yu Xunge said, “But why can’t I see the evolution level of Zai Jiu?”
B8017913 replied, “It’s too little to cause any change. You’ll need at least 100 for any noticeable difference. The moment Zai Jiu truly begins to change, you’ll receive its reward.”
Yu Xunge: “…”
No wonder it was just a fleeting moment of brilliance.
Although her last game was at level 5, she had contracted B8017913, so her next game would at least be level 7, and she was not far from the Nightmare.
At this moment, Yu Xunge had only 47 World’s Tombs left that could be used for tickets. To be safe, she planned to invest 27 more and then stop, keeping 20 for herself, ensuring she wouldn’t panic no matter what happened.
She tossed in the larger ones that took up space.
For the next few minutes, the global announcements flooded the screen…
[Zai Jiu Announcement: Thanks to the donation from the star of Zai Jiu, Xunge, Zai Jiu is no longer ordinary.]
…
[Zai Jiu Announcement: Thanks to the gift from the top player Yu Xunge, Zai Jiu shines brilliantly.]
…
[Zai Jiu Announcement: Thanks to the gift from the strongest player Yu Xunge, Zai Jiu grows alongside her!]
Tu Lan said, “This is so nauseating.”
Yu Xunge flicked her hair: “Nonsense! Kids these days have such sweet mouths!”
Zhao Shuying had been sending private messages for a long time without receiving a reply from Yu Xunge, knowing that she was lost in the world announcements.
The world chat channel was lively at first, but by the end, everyone had become numb.
Yu Xunge single-handedly lowered the rarity of Zai Jiu’s global announcements…
Zai Jiu was just too flattering…
Finally, after it ended, Yu Xunge ignored the private messages. She asked Tu Lan to go out and buy some ingredients; she needed to prepare another batch of dishes with enhancement effects for daily use and to give to Hecqipa.
Tu Lan took the task and coins and headed out.
Yu Xunge went to her study, planning to clear the dungeon and then start researching “Last Night’s Stars.”
B8017913 floated behind her: “What about me? What should I do?”
Yu Xunge paused. Having a new member in the house was a bit unusual for her. She asked B8017913, “Do you want to work or have fun?”
B8017913 replied, “What are you going to do now?”
Yu Xunge said, “Research alchemy.”
B8017913 offered, “I can help you analyze.”
Yu Xunge decisively refused: “No need, this is my hobby.”
She knew that if she relied on B8017913, whether for researching “Last Night’s Stars” or other potion formulas, progress would be rapid.
But she also understood that if she depended on B8017913 for analysis, her path in alchemy would become increasingly difficult.
All her pride and arrogance seemed to be invested in this path of alchemy.
Knowing that precious ores could enhance inspiration and increase breakthrough chances, she had no intention of saving any for herself.
She genuinely enjoyed alchemy and relished the process; she didn’t think she would ever hit a wall.
**Chapter 483: Did You Offend Song Gui Again Recently?**
B8017913 asked, “So… what does Tu Lan usually do?”
Yu Xunge led it to the living room and turned on the game console: “Can you play? Does it consume power?”
B8017913 replied, “I can play, and it doesn’t consume much power, about 1% for 8 hours.”
Yu Xunge glanced at B8017913’s battery level. After returning from Dragon Island and dealing with so many things, it had only consumed 2% of its power. It seemed that moving around freely outside didn’t drain much energy.
In “Diamond Miner,” the energy consumption was so high, perhaps due to the need to frequently check player information.
Yu Xunge selected the game Tu Lan had been playing recently, created a new account for B8017913, and placed the game controller in front of it: “Here, this is what Tu Lan usually plays.”
B8017913 sent out two strands of electric current, connecting to the controller, and the next second, the game screen began to move.
Yu Xunge set B8017913 up and prepared to leave.
But then B8017913’s voice came from behind: “I thought you would let me go into sleep mode to save power.”
Yu Xunge sighed. She realized this mechanical being was even more childlike than Tu Lan. It seemed to have countless questions, and whenever her choices contradicted its calculated possibilities, it would ask.
She replied, “You said you use 1% of power for 8 hours, so I let you play. If it were 8% for 1 hour, I would have knocked you out by now.”
B8017913 said, “Oh, I don’t believe you. You’re just saying that out of anger.”
As she spoke, the sounds of game characters interacting with NPCs began to echo from the TV screen.
Yu Xunge: …
It felt like another player was about to join the household.
…
Yu Xunge didn’t plan to miss the Divine Game on May 15.
After Tu Lan returned home, she prepared enough dishes, took a short nap, and got up early on the 3rd to head to Zelan.
When she went downstairs, she found that Tu Lan and B8017913 had been gaming all night.
She glanced at the screen. Oh? A co-op dungeon game, no wonder Tu Lan seemed so calm.
Even if Tu Lan was good at gaming, she couldn’t possibly win against a mechanical being like B8017913, right?
Tu Lan exclaimed, “Hurry, hurry! Sis! It’s coming!!!”
B8017913 replied calmly, “No rush.”
Yu Xunge: ???
Did she just call her “sis”?
Weren’t they just arguing yesterday?
And…
Yu Xunge asked, “B8017913, are you a girl?”
B8017913 replied, “I don’t have a gender; that kind of classification is meaningless to us.”
Yu Xunge was just curious; she didn’t really care what B8017913 was, as long as it was useful. She said, “Then you two tidy up; we’re going to Zelan. B8017913, remember to disguise your information; otherwise, I won’t be able to take you with me.”
B8017913 responded, “Okay, Master.”
Yu Xunge put away the still motionless egg-shaped hat and donned the B8017913 disguised as a cube earring on her right ear. She and Tu Lan skillfully crawled into the bedroom and hid under the bed.
B8017913 asked, “Why do we have to do this? Aren’t you the strongest in Zai Jiu?”
Yu Xunge and Tu Lan froze.
Tu Lan, lacking confidence but loud, said, “This is our hobby!”
Yu Xunge, speaking softly but with a firm and calm tone, explained, “Drawing in other places isn’t very safe. What if a guest accidentally steps on it? Under the bed is better; there’s no chance of getting it wrong.”
B8017913 wisely fell silent.
Its calculations told it that staying quiet at this moment was the best choice.
After skillfully reaching the depths of Zelan, Yu Xunge disguised herself as a Wind Scythe and headed straight for the Dark City.
She gifted 85 precious ores to Hecqipa, who had helped her quite a bit; she couldn’t keep giving him rice as a token of gratitude.
After hearing about the uses of these precious ores, Hecqipa, much like Yu Xunge had been at the time, didn’t show much reaction. Her attention and interest were more focused on what kind of sparks these materials could create.
Hecqipa fiddled with the precious ores and casually asked, “Did you offend Song Gui again recently?”
Yu Xunge: ??????
When did that happen?! How come she didn’t know!
Yu Xunge exclaimed in shock, “I’m not really sure about that. Does Song Gui know?”
Does she know we have a grudge?!
Hecqipa watched Yu Xunge’s changing expressions with amusement before explaining with a smile, “Just teasing you. She’s looking for you and found me here. Well, to be precise, she’s looking for your dragon.”
Yu Xunge breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression darkened.
Strictly speaking, she felt neutral towards Song Gui. Even though Tu Lan had said a lot about her wrongdoings towards Li Zhou, she wouldn’t jump to conclusions and assume that Song Gui was the bad one.
