She had never asked the Yu family where Yu Xunhuan lived; she had tracked that information down herself with her little sparrows. Before Yu Xunhuan entered the hotel, a little sparrow had burrowed into the hood of his hoodie and followed him all the way to his room, where it was currently hidden in a potted plant.
Worried that the scent of decay from the little sparrow would spread, Yu Xunge replaced it with a new one every day for the past few days.
After drinking the Phasing Potion, Yu Xunge successfully entered Yu Xunhuan's hotel room.
Even though she was multitasking, she wouldn't feel at ease until she personally saw that Yu Xunhuan hadn't logged into the game.
In the hotel room, Yu Xunhuan lay on the bed, frowning, occasionally shifting his position. It was impossible to tell if he was asleep or not.
In the corner of the room lay a mobile phone. Judging by the dent in the wallpaper, it had likely been thrown against the wall.
Yu Xunge walked over and took a look. She couldn't tell the brand, but it was probably a gift from Su Yitong. It was some kind of high-end phone, and surprisingly, the screen wasn't even cracked.
She figured that once Yu Xunhuan married into the Su family, she wouldn't just be able to use a high-end phone but would also enjoy special dedicated line service, and would no longer receive spam messages.
She stared at Yu Xunhuan. When he rolled over again, turning his back to her, Yu Xunge nudged the phone with her toe, put it into her backpack, and then used the Phasing Potion to go to the adjacent room, which she had a guy from Hong Kong City book in advance using his identity information.
Yu Xunge took out her phone. She was still invisible, so she wasn't worried about any high-tech features on this phone recording her appearance. She flipped the phone over and examined it, discovering a shallow dent on the top left corner. She guessed this corner had hit the wall. She aligned this dent with the wall and then slammed it down with force.
With a crack, half of the screen shattered. The screen automatically lit up, displaying the date, but half of it was now a mottled mess of green and purple.
Yu Xunge put the phone back into her backpack and returned to Yu Xunhuan's room. Yu Xunhuan was still facing away from the door. Yu Xunge walked to where the phone had fallen earlier and placed the now-broken phone back in its original spot, exactly as it was.
Then, she quietly left.
She had imagined dozens, even hundreds, of scenarios before coming here, but she hadn't expected the simplest one. She had even considered what would happen if Yu Xunhuan didn't have an emotional breakdown from those messages but instead became more excited the more he read, practicing his skills until he suddenly decided to play a game at 6 AM.
She had even prepared for the worst-case scenario of knocking Yu Xunhuan unconscious.
At precisely 6 AM, Yu Xunge returned to Yu Xunhuan's room. The broken phone was still on the floor. Yu Xunhuan had his head covered, and it was unclear if he was asleep. Yu Xunge tossed a [Fate Gear] to the person on the bed, reducing his luck to 1, before returning to the adjacent room to prepare for the second internal test.
At 6:06 AM, she found [Dread Rift: Warcraft] right on time and clicked to download it immediately.
Upon entering the character selection screen, she saw the familiar Undead. However, next to the ID [Gē Wū Ēn], there was an additional piece of information: "Wanted."
Yu Xunge felt the hidden pockets inside her clothes; the two backpacks were gone, but the Undead character on the screen had two familiar backpacks hanging from its waist.
She tried using the God of Thieves' [Armor Up!] disguise skill, attempting to transform herself into a short Goblin.
Soon, the real-life Yu Xunge changed. Her body shrank, her skin turned green, and her ears grew larger. Simultaneously, the Undead on the screen changed in sync.
Yu Xunge immediately entered the game. No matter where she appeared after entering the game, she only had one hour of disguise time. Within that hour, she needed to figure out her situation.
The screen lit up, and the little Goblin stood in a graveyard. Adjusting the game's perspective, she saw the Undead city not far away. She immediately controlled her game character and ran towards the Undead city, speeding past any low-level monsters she encountered.
In less than 5 minutes, she was standing at the city gate. Her original Undead character's portrait was hanging at the city gate. Fortunately, when she created the character, she found it uncomfortable because the Undead character looked about 80% similar to herself, so she randomly clicked the character creation button every time.
Although the God of Thieves' disguise skill had a short duration, it couldn't be seen through by any items or skills. Yu Xunge easily entered the city and headed straight for the Goblin district. In the Goblin shop, she found the Goblin shopkeeper and asked if he bought gold.
Goblin: "Time is money. If you have gold, why don't you make it into coins yourself? Didn't your mentor teach you that?"
Yu Xunge's breathing quickened slightly. She typed in the chat box: "May I ask if you could impart some skills to me, sir? I am willing to pay a reward for your valuable time."
The other party directly sent a trade window, showing that he wanted 100 gold.
Such a precious opportunity, Yu Xunge didn't dare to haggle. She directly took out the 100 gold the Undead City Lord had given her earlier and handed it over.
[Goblin Robert L imparts the skill "Gold Casting" (Beginner) to you.]
She clicked to view the skill details.
[Gold Casting] (A-rank) (Goblin Exclusive): Infuse gold with magic to create a unique gold coin (Proficiency: 0/)
Trait 1: For every gold coin cast, 20g of gold will be automatically extracted and sent via void teleportation to the Goblin Merchant Guild as tax.
Trait 2: Money can buy anything, but to maintain market stability, each Goblin can only produce a maximum of 3 gold coins for personal use per day.
Yu Xunge immediately took out a 500g gold bar from her backpack. Upon clicking it, it showed (4/4) crafting. After clicking to craft all of them, a golden light emanated from her character's hands, and the progress bar completed in one second. Soon, her backpack contained 3 gold coins, and the previous 500g gold bar was reduced to only 140g.
Her proficiency also increased by 3 points.
This meant Yu Xunge could now craft gold coins herself? And after refining ten thousand gold coins, as long as she obtained the blueprint or found a Goblin willing to teach her the skill, she could learn Intermediate Gold Casting.
Although she could only craft 3 coins a day, this number was already terrifying. Even though she could easily steal over ten gold coins since arriving here, and even extort 100 gold from the Undead City Lord, in the real world, back when she used to run dungeons, even by the end of the second year, the dungeons were still very high level. She would risk her life all day, and her pure monetary income was less than 1 gold coin.
Yu Xunge didn't delay any further. She suppressed her chaotic thoughts and took out several large storage chests from her backpack, asking the Goblin if he would buy them. After circling the large storage chests a few times, the Goblin evaluated the electronics and various toys as junk, offering at most 2 silver coins per box. However, for the two large storage chests of white and red wine, he offered a price of 12 gold coins.
Yu Xunge sold all 55 boxes of wine, earning 330 gold. She also sold the junk, receiving less than 1 gold.
Then she took out ten pounds of gold and asked how many gold coins she could exchange for it.
She currently only had a few gold coins obtained from Su Yitong, which was far from enough to learn skills.
The Goblin offered a ratio of 200g of gold for 1 gold coin.
After 5 minutes of haggling, Yu Xunge only managed to get the ratio down to 180g for 1 gold. She knew there was still room for the price to drop, but her disguise time was only half an hour left. She decisively took out all the gold she had on her—the 3216 pounds of gold exchanged from Hong Kong City, plus the gold from the Yu family—totaling 3240 pounds of gold, and exchanged it with the Goblin for 6000 gold.
This was almost the entire gold reserve of a small to medium-sized guild in her previous life.
Then, Yu Xunge went straight to the adjacent Goblin Engineering Master and upgraded her Engineering to Advanced, clicking to learn all the newly appeared hundred-plus recipes. Afterward, she went straight to the Alchemy shop and did the same, upgrading Alchemy to Advanced, learning all hundred-plus new recipes!
She was timid when choosing classes in school, but in games, she was aggressive and her thirst for knowledge was boundless!!
