Yu Xunge used Disguise Skill that very night to head to the villa district. She did not return to her own villa. There were too many strange skills, and from the moment she set out, she had no intention of leaving any trace leading back to her lair.
Before her disguise expired, she hid in the woods of the villa district and slept against a tree until two in the morning. When she woke up and saw that it was only the twenty-seventh, she was dazed for a while. It felt as though a very, very long time had passed, yet not even a week had gone by.
She downed a cup of iced coffee, put on a mask, wrapped all her hair in a swim cap to ensure that not a single strand would fall out, and finally put on gloves. Only then did she drink an Invisibility Potion and run toward the Liang Family ten kilometers away, treating it as a chance to squeeze in some exercise.
She had tried drinking an Invisibility Potion while sitting in a car to see if it could turn the vehicle invisible as well. But perhaps the potion's energy was limited; it could not spread out and envelop large objects. She had even tried electric scooters and bicycles, all without success. Skateboards worked, but what was the difference between that and hanging a bell around herself?
After running ten kilometers, she even hid in bushes midway to wait for the potion's cooldown to end. She had nothing to begrudge using. She had learned alchemy and made potions precisely so she could drink them.
When playing games, she had always been reluctant to use good items. The better the item, the less willing she was to touch it, and she could leave it sitting in her inventory until she quit the game. But in reality, so long as it could lower the risk of being discovered, she would use every resource at her disposal.
The Liang Family's villa could practically be called an estate. Compared to them, her fifty-million villa was nothing but a scrap on the edge of this villa district, like a security booth outside an ordinary residential complex.
Outside the several-meter-tall iron gates were all kinds of surveillance cameras and sensor devices. After drinking a Minor Phasing Potion that could phase her body for fifteen seconds, Yu Xunge walked straight through the gates and entered Liang Family Manor.
She ran for another ten minutes before reaching the Liang Family's main building.
Yu Xunge was genuinely impressed.
They were this rich, yet they had chased her for so long over an A-rank talent?
She first went to the two smaller buildings next door to look for her Fate Gear. The driver and housekeepers lived permanently with the Liang Family, since the owners could need them at any time and they had to come the moment they were called. Still, their living conditions were truly excellent.
She hid in a storage room and waited for the Invisibility Potion's cooldown to pass. After drinking another bottle, she continued her operation.
By lavishly using Phasing Potions to move in and out, Yu Xunge quickly found her Fate Gear in a bedroom on the second floor of the side building. Standing beside the bed, she looked at the young man lying there and used I want this, this, and this.
When it showed that the skill had activated successfully but the theft had failed, she did not waste time trying to steal his items or attributes again. Without hesitation, she pulled a knife from her inventory and slit the young man's throat. His eyes flew open as he stared in terror at two bloodstained white fingers that had appeared out of nowhere, but he could not make a sound. A Minor Healing Potion appeared in his hand, and Yu Xunge used the tip of her knife to flick it into her own hand.
Very soon, the person on the bed lay still, eyes wide open.
She searched the corpse and found a four-slot bag. It was an ordinary, worn little cloth pouch, the same style as nearly every two-slot and four-slot bag. Inside were only two pitiful potions and a coin pouch containing two silver coins.
Yu Xunge used Death Mimicry on the corpse: designate a target who died by your hand and mimic their God-Bestowed Talent. You may designate one and only one target at a time. Once you switch targets, the previously mimicked God-Bestowed Talent disappears.
Soon, she could feel that she had gained an additional God Bestowed Skill: Fate Gear (B-rank).
While waiting for the cooldown, she used the Soros Mask to alter her Character Panel information, changing her God-Bestowed Talent to Fate Gear (B-rank).
Once that was done, she took off the gloves that had become visible from the bloodstains. After washing the bloody smell from her hands with alcohol hand sanitizer, she put on a fresh pair of gloves, drank another Invisibility Potion, and headed for the main building.
Using the same method, she found Liang Yuchuan's room. She lay flat on the floor and crawled beneath the little princess's bed, moving with a practiced ease that was almost heartbreaking.
It was only four in the morning. Young people from wealthy families were still young people. She refused to believe Liang Yuchuan could wake up before seven, which meant she could probably steal for three hours.
She first used So Happy Now from Fate Gear 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.
Fate Gear was disgusting to this extent!!
No wonder it had tormented her for so long as a God-Bestowed Talent.
After the luck was changed to 1, Yu Xunge stole two items, one coin pouch, and three attribute points in just one hour.
Soros Set: Glasses (2/3) (A-rank): After equipping, can inspect a target's Character Panel data. Specific information on God-Bestowed Talents cannot be inspected. For every additional piece of the Soros Set collected, the amount of information that can be inspected increases. Currently able to inspect the names and quantities of the target's equipment.
They were the gold-rimmed glasses Liang Yuchuan often wore in her previous life. They were actually an inspection item.
Although she had followed the male and female leads' team and benefited from them a few times in her previous life, she had been excluded from their circle. Her role had probably been that of the male lead's awful poor relative. How could she have been qualified to know anything about the male and female leads?
Yu Xunge carefully placed them in her inventory. This was a treasure. The glasses bore no obvious markings and looked entirely ordinary.
Moreover, after obtaining the glasses along with the mask, the mask's concealment effect had also been enhanced.
Soros Set: Mask (2/3) (A-rank): After use, can disguise your Character Panel information. The item takes effect as long as it is placed in your inventory after use. If the mask is dropped, the disguise becomes invalid. (Currently cannot be successfully inspected by items below S-rank. Note: for every additional Soros Set item collected, concealment level +1.)
She even suspected that the last Soros item was on the male lead's third girlfriend.
Was this really a set? It was the symbol of the female leads' status!
Endless Coffee (C-rank): Contains an endless supply of coffee, 500 ml per cup. Drinking it restores a total of 500 Mana. Can be refilled once every 24 hours.
This was practically an infinite mana potion!
The only reason it was rated C-rank was probably because its cooldown was too long.
But its cooldown did not overlap with the cooldown of mana potions. In terms of practicality, it was extremely valuable. Whenever her mana potions were on cooldown, she could drink coffee to replenish her Mana.
There was not much money in the coin pouch, only three gold coins.
But it was better than nothing.
As for the three attribute points, they were all agility.
Because of her skill that allowed her to merge with water in her previous life, Liang Yuchuan had taken the assassin route. On rainy days, she was like a god of slaughter, killing someone with every step. No one could tell which raindrop she would emerge from. People called her the God of Assassins.
She held enormous influence within Yu Xunhuan's team.
There was something wrong with Liang Yuchuan's head too. She had actually believed Yu Xunhuan's words, believing Yu Xunge had a twisted love for her younger brother. She had even tried to replace Yu Xunge or Su Yitong with her own talent, all just to be with Yu Xunhuan.
She had actually believed that bullshit!!
Liang Yuchuan had issued the wanted order for her. Not only had she demanded Yu Xunge alive, she had separately placed bounties on all four of her limbs. It was practically an open declaration that as long as someone cut off Yu Xunge's limbs while keeping her alive, they could sell Yu Xunge for several payouts!
Suppressing her hatred, Yu Xunge kept stealing until seven o'clock.
Only after obtaining another 3 points of agility and 2 points of strength did she stop.
Her agility had now reached a staggering 18, while her strength was also up to 7.
All told, she had stolen 8 attribute points from Liang Yuchuan, nearly as much as the gains from leveling up twice.
