Chapter 463
She clutched her only two chances for modification, reading and rereading the skill descriptions for **Gou Dao Zui Hou** (苟到最后) and **Wo Yao Kai Shi Ren Zhen Liao (Bei Dong)** (我要开始认真了（被动）) from start to finish.
**Gou Dao Zui Hou**?
— "Your life value will drop to the equivalent of your level."
She could swap "life" for "agility," but since she had been locked in a small dark room and turned into an immovable object, agility hardly mattered.
However, in a critical moment, this skill might not allow her to withstand a few more attacks.
In the match-3 battlefield, when her life value fell below 30%, using **Gou Dao Zui Hou** would turn her into an item, forcibly altering her life value to a full 100%.
Even if her life value dropped to a single digit after deactivating this skill, whether she used the **You Ben Shi Da Si Wo A** (有本事打死我啊) skill, which could extend her life value limit to -500%, in combination with it, or activated **Shen Mi Li Liang** (神秘力量) right after, both were excellent choices.
Though in many critical moments, there might not even be a chance to use the combination of **Gou Dao Zui Hou** and **Shen Mi Li Liang**, it was still a method to consider during safer times.
Swapping "level" for "agility"?
If her remaining life value was greater than her current agility of 2252 before using the skill, could it still turn her life value ratio to 100%?
Most likely, yes. This change could essentially alter the level number.
If her remaining life value was less than 2252, would using this skill indirectly heal her?
The more Yu Xun Ge thought about it, the brighter her eyes became.
It was worth a try!!
Yu Xun Ge quickly used two six-sided dice, changing the phrase "Your life value will drop to the equivalent of your level" to "Your life value will drop to the equivalent of your agility."
Her current life value was 85385, and she immediately used **Gou Dao Zui Hou**.
Her life value dropped to 2252, and the ratio was 100%!
The most important advantage remained intact; this modification was a win!
After deactivating the skill, her life value still stood at 2252.
Having cleared so many dungeons, her bag was full of equipment. She took out a knife and made a few cuts on her arm, reducing her life value to 987, leaving her with just 0.05%, the health bar barely a thread.
She used **Gou Dao Zui Hou** again.
Her life value returned to 2252, the health bar restored to a full line, and the ratio back to 100%!
Yu Xun Ge was overjoyed; not only had she preserved the skill's most crucial advantage, but now she could also heal!
That phrase "Your life value will drop to..." felt like it forcibly transformed her existing life bar into a new one!
The only downside might be that she could no longer rely on **Gou Dao Zui Hou** to activate **Shen Mi Li Liang** in the future.
But that was something she could accept.
Or perhaps this method hadn’t completely vanished.
Every night before bed, Yu Xun Ge entertained herself by reviewing her skills, examining each skill description so she could use them at critical moments.
**Lin Shi Xi Dian** (临时洗点) (A-Class): Allows you to freely allocate four main attribute values within 3 minutes, with a cooldown of 30 minutes.
This was an A-Class skill she had obtained years ago in the tower.
As soon as she got **Ding Qi Chu Ku** (定期储蓄), she activated this skill, drawing the magic pattern on the inner side of her right wrist. Since yesterday afternoon, she had accumulated over 70,000 mana points, so she had plenty to use.
She used **Lin Shi Xi Dian** to allocate 8500 agility points to intelligence, then used **Gou Dao Zui Hou** again.
Sure enough! Her life value changed to 452!
Deactivating **Gou Dao Zui Hou**, her life value remained at 452, allowing her to use **Shen Mi Li Liang**!
She could even use **Lin Shi Xi Dian** to allocate 19% of her physique, agility, and intelligence to agility, but her current stats weren’t high enough; even if she redistributed, it would only add a few hundred points. It would be better to just eat a dish instead of wasting time on that.
Yu Xun Ge couldn’t help but laugh out loud, her emotions finally spilling over.
**Chapter 501: Power and Honor**
**Gou Dao Zui Hou**: Can disguise itself as any item you have seen before. At that time, all player information will transform into modifiable item information, undetectable by any skill or means below SSS level. You will be like a true inanimate object, and your life value will drop to the equivalent of your agility; duration is unlimited, cooldown is none, and each use of the skill will consume 50% of your mana.
This was her modified version of **Gou Dao Zui Hou**!
Next time, she would modify the mana cost for each use of this skill if she had another chance.
With a grin, Yu Xun Ge said to B8017913, "See? I’ve gotten stronger again!"
After hearing Yu Xun Ge recite the new skill description, B8017913 struggled to recall every word, only catching the word "Gou": "Yeah, it’s more Gou now."
Yu Xun Ge clicked her tongue, "You just don’t understand my combat aesthetics."
Combat aesthetics...
B8017913: "..." Really wanted those gods who believed in Yu Xun Ge to hear her nonsense.
After using up all her skill modifications, Yu Xun Ge planned to head back. She intended to open the Abyss Treasure Chest only after completing all her courses, treating it as a reward for herself.
She temporarily stashed the **Sewing** course in her bag, keeping it alongside the Rabbit Tooth courses.
Though she felt disappointed with this haul, she certainly wouldn’t miss this class.
A 7th-tier reward course could never be a waste of time.
Yu Xun Ge was not averse to expanding her knowledge; being well-versed was undoubtedly a good thing, but what she wanted most at this stage was precision, one step at a time.
Combat, Alchemy, Cooking—ranked in order of priority—these three were what she desired most right now.
As for attribute point allocation, that was truly unnecessary...
After asking Tu Lan and learning that he needed it, she directly mailed it to him.
After a brief two-hour nap at home, Yu Xun Ge regained her energy.
She still had six Rabbit Tooth courses: **Alchemy** X2, **Ranged (Crossbow)**, **Combat Positioning**, **Principles of Magic**, and **Aerial Combat**.
Yu Xun Ge sat in her study, donned her **Mian Long Dan Ke** (眠龙蛋壳) hat, and took out the Rabbit Tooth course labeled **Principles of Magic**.
This was the second **Principles of Magic** course she had handled. She planned to review the contents of the 37 books after finishing this class.
Though she didn’t think she could discover more skills—after all, the book levels were set, and deriving university-level knowledge from middle school textbooks was quite a stretch for her—understanding the principles of magic more deeply would certainly make her summaries simpler and more comprehensible.
At her current level, writing it out might still take time to teach others, which felt like a waste.
She knew that if she wrote it in a more complex manner and personally taught the current top-tier players, helping them learn the skills would undoubtedly earn her prestige and followers.
Even if in the past Yu Xun Ge might not have spent that time, the current Yu Xun Ge was even less inclined to do so.
The change in Ding Hai's attitude, along with Yu Zhao Hai's past wish for her to become the leader of the Zai Jiu faction, left a mark on her heart.
She sensed that Ding Hai was granting her an intangible gift—power!
A wonderful existence, truly addictive, a different kind of control from strength.
If she wanted Hei Fei, she would get Hei Fei; if she wanted land, she would get land. The materials for the workshop could be tailored to her needs, and she could use any dungeon she desired.
Though she hadn’t asked what Hei Fei was doing now, she wasn’t offline. With B8017913 helping her gather and summarize information, she certainly knew that Hei Fei had already submitted to Ding Hai.
Such a powerful ally would deliver whatever she needed right to her doorstep.
Hei Fei wouldn’t dare not come.
She didn’t need to consider anything; everything she wanted was within reach. If she said so, Ding Hai wouldn’t say otherwise.
As long as she wished, her transactions with Ding Hai could even be made without any cost, or she could demand a lion's share of Ding Hai's resources. Even if Ding Hai didn’t want to give, he would certainly choose to yield.
But she simply didn’t want to do that.
It had nothing to do with nobility; she had started from scratch every day in Ze Lan, playing games with the gods, so how could she talk about nobility?
She could accept Ding Hai's flattery and gifts; no one was more deserving of them than she was.
But a transaction was a transaction, and cooperation was cooperation. When she was weak, she yearned for fairness; now that the situation had reversed and she was in a high position, she hadn’t changed.
The taste of power was intoxicating, yet Yu Xun Ge wouldn’t let these matters derail her direction.
Not only did she not pause to consider whether to allocate some of her focus to managing the Zai Jiu faction, but she also became even more determined in her pursuit of strength.
The conveniences Ding Hai provided her had also been given to other players in her past life.
Ding Hai had made choices between her and other existences, just as he had in her previous life.
She might forget the names of her enemies, but she would never forget the experiences of fleeing in her past life.
The fiery wings behind her gently swayed, while outside the window, a skeletal dragon slowly flew by. The wind whistled through the bones, making the room feel even quieter.
Power knows no warmth, nor does it value loyalty; it blurs the lines of right and wrong, serving only the strong who can bring benefits to Zai Jiu, to Ding Hai, and to ordinary players.
Yu Xun Ge sent a message to Liang Po Zhou: **[Staring at the corpse of Yu Xun Huan]**
