A Little Interest

After restoring her blood to full, Yu Xunge used her Disguise Skill to make herself look like Su Yitong. She didn't expect such a low-level trap to work, but it was better than using her own face.

She put on a baseball cap to cover her swim cap and took out a large axe before drinking a Minor Invisibility Potion.

She carefully crawled out from under the bed and walked to its side.

She had intended to chop off Liang Yuchuan's head, but stopped when she saw a black metal collar around Liang Yuchuan's neck. Liang Yuchuan had worn this collar in her previous life. A neck slot could only hold one piece of equipment, and with Liang Yuchuan's abilities, it was impossible for her not to have acquired a necklace-type item. This left only one explanation: the collar was equipment, and likely of a high grade. How had she not managed to steal it!

Even if it wasn't the collar, with her Strength of 7, she wasn't confident she could sever the metal collar, which looked to be of excellent quality, and Liang Yuchuan's neck with a single axe blow.

Without further hesitation, Yu Xunge aimed for Liang Yuchuan's right arm. She leaped high, putting all her strength into a full swing.

God of Assassins, was it?!

The axe instantly severed Liang Yuchuan's right forearm, all in less than a second.

Blood splattered onto Yu Xunge's face, revealing her eyes, disguised as Su Yitong's. They met Liang Yuchuan's terrified, resentful gaze.

In an instant, Liang Yuchuan used her skill to merge with the blood on the bed. Only a forearm remained.

This was why Yu Xunge had abandoned the idea of killing Liang Yuchuan outright after realizing she couldn't guarantee decapitation. She was too difficult to kill. Whether she dissolved into water or was in water, she could slowly regenerate health. It was practically a BUG!

Does fear cause disorientation? No, for those with combat talent, fear and pain only spur them to escape faster.

Not only that, but Liang Yuchuan's room had several cups of water, and even a few bowls under the bed. Even if Yu Xunge had stabbed Liang Yuchuan in the heart or knocked her out first, she would have had a few seconds to escape.

It could only be said that once a God-Bestowed Talent reached S-rank, there were no weak ones.

But leaving an arm, her right forearm at that, meant she wasn't at a loss.

After character data conversion, no matter how severe the injury, it could be healed by restoring health. However, missing body parts couldn't be created out of thin air. If an arm or leg was lost, unless the missing parts were recovered and reattached, one would remain disabled.

Now that Liang Yuchuan had lost a forearm, this was just the interest.

Yu Xunge put the severed limb into her game inventory. Before anyone outside could break in, she put on Soros's Eye. The Minor Invisibility Potion was still on cooldown, so she exploited a BUG to drink an Intermediate Invisibility Potion. The two potions naturally had separate cooldown timers. The parts of her body that had become visible due to the blood splatter were now hidden again.

After downing a Phasing Potion, she gracefully passed through the wall and left the room.

Through Soros's Eye, she saw the information of everyone coming and going in the villa.

There were no players. Even Liang Yuchuan's brothers were not players yet.

She estimated they would enter the game at the earliest during the second closed beta, with Liang Yuchuan's help.

Yu Xunge ran out of the manor before the invisibility potion wore off.

With an Agility of 18, she was now faster than the fastest sprinter. She ran nonstop. Before the invisibility potion even ran out, she had already fled the villa complex. She didn't return to her own villa but ran all the way to the nearest lake. Maintaining Su Yitong's appearance, she washed the bloodstains off in the lake, took off her clothes, and burned them to ashes by the lakeside. Then, she shoveled the dirt from the ground into the lake as well.

Becoming invisible again, she ran towards the city.

She had been stained with Liang Yuchuan's blood, and she wasn't sure if Liang Yuchuan could sense anything through it. God-Bestowed Talents were too overpowered; some things weren't just on the skill panel.

Take herself, for example. In her previous life, her initial Agility was 5. But after obtaining the God of Thieves talent in this life, her initial Agility was 11. Not only that, but even without using skills now, when brushing past someone, she could guarantee stealing their phone without being detected. Her hands had also become extremely nimble and soft. These were all changes brought about by skills.

And as her thieving attempts increased, her use of the skills became more fluid.

Since the Water God could control water, she didn't dare gamble on whether Liang Yuchuan could sense her own blood.

Yu Xunge didn't go home all day. After her disguise disappeared, she wandered around wearing a hat, mask, and Soros's Eye, acting like a vagrant again. Wherever there were crowds, she would blend in. When her disguise cooldown was over, she changed clothes and disguised herself as a man, then went to a cheap hotel that didn't require ID to take a bath.

Finally, she even took a black car to the neighboring city.

Midway, she received a call from her new agent, who wanted to discuss her upcoming work arrangements. Yu Xunge simply said she was traveling and asked him to wait three days.

She wasn't sure if she was playing mind games with herself, but she didn't dare to risk it. She would rather be stupid than return to her lair after doing something bad. This was her experience and intuition from years of fleeing.

More importantly, her Luck was maxed out now. Sometimes, intuition was just luck guiding her.

As it turned out, Yu Xunge's gamble paid off.

After Yu Xunge left, Liang Yuchuan switched forms, drank a Minor Healing Potion, and was sent to the hospital by helicopter. This kind of injury was beyond the capabilities of a family doctor.

On the plane, she had been constantly sensing her blood. She could feel the presence of her blood leaving the manor and lingering by the lake. However, her sensory range was too small. After her forearm was bandaged and the bleeding stopped, she boarded the helicopter and began tracking the scent of her blood.

Just as Yu Xunge was leaving S City, the Liang family had already tracked them to the city.

Helicopters flew conspicuously over the city. The Liang family's influence meant they didn't need to apply for flight paths.

But the scent was too chaotic. Liang Yuchuan had only obtained her talent less than a week ago, and tracking it to the city was already her limit.

She tightly gripped her wound, so hard that the bleeding couldn't be stopped, unable to suppress the pain in her heart. Her right arm was only half there!

She was crippled!!

Liang Yuchuan's eyes reddened with hatred.

She remembered those eyes. She would find her, she definitely would!

Yu Xunge wasn't idle in H City either. If her body hadn't been data-converted, she truly feared she would have died of exhaustion.

She had come to H City for a very famous item.

After the game invasion, some things on Earth had a chance to mutate. She had even heard that a starch factory's machinery had mutated into an S-rank item, capable of mass-producing starch sausages that increased Strength by 2 for five minutes after consumption.

Yu Xunge didn't think about such things. Although she was selfish and didn't inform everyone about the game invasion in advance, she wouldn't touch items that were clearly more useful in the hands of the official authorities for the battlefield.

What she wanted was a cat bed from a pet hospital. This cat bed had been there since the pet hospital opened. Stray cats that passed by the hospital could rest in this cat bed, and the veterinarians would clean it regularly. This cat bed, with its background, had triggered a mutation chance after the game invasion, becoming an S-rank item.
