That night, Yu Xun'ge used her disguise skill to head to the villa district. She didn't return to her own villa; with so many bizarre skills, she had no intention of taking any traces back to her lair from the moment she set out.

Before her disguise failed, she hid in the woods within the villa district and slept by a tree until two in the morning. When she woke up and saw the date was only the 27th, she was momentarily stunned. She had felt like a very, very long time had passed, yet less than a week had gone by.

After chugging a cup of iced coffee, Yu Xun'ge put on a mask, then used a swim cap to completely cover all her hair, ensuring not a single strand would fall out. Finally, she put on gloves, drank an invisibility potion, and set off for the Liang family's residence, 10 kilometers away. She figured it was a good way to get some exercise in whenever she had a chance.

She had tried sitting in a small car while drinking an invisibility potion to see if it could make the vehicle invisible too. However, perhaps the invisibility potion's energy was limited and couldn't extend to cover large objects. She had even tried electric scooters and bicycles, all to no avail. Skateboards worked, but what was the difference between a skateboard and a bell?

After running the 10 kilometers, she had hidden in the bushes midway to wait for the potion's cooldown to end. She wasn't stingy with using her skills; she learned alchemy precisely so she could make and use her own potions.

When playing games, she was reluctant to use anything good, the better the item, the less she wanted to touch it. She could hoard items in her inventory until she quit the game. But in reality, as long as it could reduce the risk of her being discovered, she would use every resource she had.

The Liang family's villa could practically be called a manor. Compared to the Liang family, her own fifty-million-dollar small villa was merely a corner piece of this villa district, like a security guard booth at the entrance of an ordinary residential complex.

Beyond the imposing, several-meter-high iron gate, there were various surveillance and sensing devices. After drinking a low-level Etherealization Potion that made the body ethereal for 15 seconds, Yu Xun'ge passed directly through the iron gate and entered the Liang family's manor.

She ran for another 10 minutes before reaching the main building of the Liang family's residence.

Yu Xun'ge was truly impressed.

To be this extravagant, was it really necessary to hunt me for so long for my mere A-rank talent?

She first went to the two smaller buildings next door to find her [Gears of Fate]. The driver and the nanny were permanent residents at the Liang family's home; after all, the masters might have needs at any time and could summon them with a call. But their living conditions were genuinely good.

She first hid in a storage room to wait for the invisibility potion's cooldown to pass. After replenishing a bottle, she continued her actions.

By using Etherealization Potions without regard for cost to enter and exit, Yu Xun'ge quickly found her [Gears of Fate] in a second-floor bedroom of the annex building. She stood by the bed, looking at the young man on it, and used [I want this, this, and this].

After it displayed as successfully used but theft failed, she didn't waste time continuing to use skills to steal items or stats. Instead, she unhesitatingly took out her knife from her backpack and cut the young man's throat. His eyes widened in shock, looking at the two blood-stained white fingers that had appeared out of nowhere, but he couldn't make a sound. A bottle of low-level healing potion appeared in his hand. Yu Xun'ge used the tip of her knife to flick the potion into her own hand.

Soon, the person on the bed's eyes widened, and he fell silent.

She patted the corpse and found a small 4-slot bag. It was a very ordinary, worn-out little cloth bag; almost all 2-slot and 4-slot bags were this style. Inside, there were only two meager potions and a money pouch containing 2 silver coins.

Yu Xun'ge used the skill [Death Imitation Show] on the corpse: Designate a target who died by your hand and imitate their God-given talent. At any one time, you can only designate one target. When switching targets, the previously imitated God-given talent disappears.

Soon, she could feel she had gained a new God-given skill: [Gears of Fate] (B-rank).

While waiting for the cooldown, she used the Soros Mask to modify her character panel information, replacing her God-given talent with [Gears of Fate] (B-rank).

After finishing, she took off the gloves that had become visible due to the bloodstains, washed the smell of blood from her hands with alcohol hand sanitizer, changed into a new pair of gloves, and then drank another invisibility potion before heading to the main building.

Using the same method, she found Liang Yuchuan's room. She crawled on the ground and slipped under the little princess's bed, her movements so practiced they were heartbreaking.

It was only 4 AM. Young people from wealthy families were still young people. She didn't believe Liang Yuchuan would wake up before 7 AM. She figured she had about 3 hours.

She first used [You're Happy Again] from [Gears of Fate] on Liang Yuchuan, changing her luck to 1. Only then did she begin the cycle of [I want this, this, and this] – eating meat, drinking potions to restore health – [I want this, this, and this].

Gears of Fate is truly disgusting!!

As expected of a God-given talent that tormented me for so long.

After changing her luck to 1, in just one hour, Yu Xun'ge stole two items, a money pouch, and 3 stat points.

[Soros Set · Glasses (2/3)] (A-rank): When worn, allows the user to inspect target character data panels (specific information on God-given talents cannot be inspected). For every additional piece of the Soros Set collected, the inspectable information increases. Currently, it can inspect target item names and quantities.

These were the gold-rimmed glasses Liang Yuchuan often wore in her previous life; they turned out to be an inspection item.

Although she had benefited a few times from following the main characters' team in her previous life, she had been excluded. Her positioning was roughly that of the male lead's extremely poor relative; she had no right to know the male and female leads' information.

Yu Xun'ge cherished it dearly and placed it in her backpack. This was a treasure. The glasses had no discernible markings and were a very ordinary style.

Moreover, with the glasses added to the mask, the mask's concealment function was also enhanced.

[Soros Set · Mask (2/3)] (A-rank): When used, it can disguise the user's character panel information. After use, the item can be placed in the inventory to take effect. If the mask is dropped, the disguise will fail. (Currently, it cannot be successfully inspected by items below S-rank. Note: For every additional piece of the Soros Set collected, the concealment level increases by 1.)

She even suspected the last Soros item was on the male lead's third girlfriend.

Is this a set? This is a symbol of the heroines' identities!

[Never-Ending Coffee] (C-rank): Contains an endless supply of coffee. 500ml per cup. Drinking it restores a total of 500 mana points. Refills are possible once every 24 hours.

This was practically an infinite mana potion!

It was likely only rated C-rank because its cooldown was too long.

But this cooldown didn't overlap with the mana potion's cooldown. In terms of practicality, it was extremely precious. When her mana potion was on cooldown, she could drink coffee to replenish her mana.

The money pouch didn't contain much, only 3 gold coins.

But it was better than nothing.

As for the three stat points, they were all [Agility].

In her previous life, Liang Yuchuan's water-melding skill allowed her to pursue an assassin route. On rainy days, she was like a god of slaughter, one person per step, and no one could figure out which drop of rain she would appear from. She was known as the God of Assassins.

She held significant influence within Yu Xun'ge's team.

Liang Yuchuan's mind was also not right. She actually believed Yu Xun'huan's words, thinking she had a twisted love for her younger sibling and even tried to replace her or Su Yitong with her own talent just to be with Yu Xun'huan.

She actually believed such nonsense!!

Her wanted poster was issued by Liang Yuchuan. Not only did she demand the capture of a living person, but she also offered bounties for her limbs separately, practically making it clear that as long as Yu Xun'ge's limbs were severed and she was still alive, she could be sold for multiple times the price!

Yu Xun'ge endured her hatred and continued stealing until 7 AM.

After obtaining another 3 Agility and 2 Strength points, she stopped.

Now her Agility had reached 18, and her Strength was 7.

In total, she had stolen 8 stat points from Liang Yuchuan, which was almost equivalent to the rewards for leveling up twice.
