After memorizing the materials for the Advanced Invisibility Potion, Yu Xunge went straight to the herb shop next door and bought six slots of herbs. It wasn't that she didn't want to buy more, but the controls in the game were rigid. She couldn't save backpack space by stuffing different items into a storage box and stacking them. She still needed to leave a few slots for browsing the auction house.

Yu Xunge was almost racing against time.

Her disguise time had only 23 minutes left.

She hurried to the auction house. Passing by a restaurant, she went in and leveled up her Cooking skill to intermediate, learning over a hundred new recipes.

At this point, she had 4286 gold left.

Standing in front of the auction house, she typed in the keyword—Soros.

Nothing.

Yu Xunge didn't even have time to complain and immediately changed the word to—Bag.

Then she spent 800 gold to buy two 36-slot bags. These were already the largest bags she could find.

The moment she paid, a notification popped up in her in-game mail: she had new bags. She clicked to claim them, and two 36-slot bags appeared in her inventory. As she transferred the items from her original game bags into these new ones, she continued shopping rapidly.

The God of Thieves' talent meant she could choose any career path—strength-based, agility-based, or magic-based. But she didn't have time to pick now, so naturally, she could only buy a few skills she was familiar with.

However, she soon saw a skill that captured her full attention—[Phantom Shift]!

[Phantom Shift] (SS-rank): Upon use, you can arrive at any place you have been before. The shifting distance is affected by the caster's Intelligence. (No cooldown, casting time 0.1 seconds, consumes 1% mana per use.)

Gold! And there was only one skill book like this in the entire auction house...

This skill book, this skill book was exactly what Yu Xunge's heart desired.

No cooldown and an extremely short casting time.

This meant that this skill was basically equivalent to being un-interruptible, and as long as she had mana, she could use this skill an unlimited number of times.

The obsession with "no one in the world can catch me" was almost etched into Yu Xunge's very bones.

She almost immediately abandoned all her previous hoarding plans. She had to! Get this skill!

In her previous life, she had never even heard of this skill. Yu Xunhuan and his group had everything they wanted, and they still had to obediently take transportation to enter dungeons.

However, Yu Xunge's disguise time was only 16 minutes left.

Yu Xunge spent 200 gold to buy a blue-quality necklace. This necklace had only one effect: reducing cooldown time by 15%.

This effect could be applied to all items, potions, and equipment.

In her previous life, 200 gold could buy at least a level 10 top-tier blue-quality item with three attributes. Yu Xunge felt like she was getting carried away.

Then she searched for the skill [Phantom Body Curse].

[Phantom Body Curse] (C-rank): Upon use, you can hide your tracks, and you will be invisible to the naked eye. (No cooldown, consumes 10 mana per minute after use.)

Invisible to the naked eye meant she could still be detected by skills or items, but it was enough for now!

Invisibility potions were useful, but their cooldown times were too long. Relying on a combination of Minor and Intermediate Invisibility Potions was no longer sufficient.

[Phantom Body Curse] was only C-rank because it was a very niche skill. Any skill above level 10 would have its own means of detection.

However, it had a wonderful use in the current real world. She acquired this skill book for only 120 gold.

Finally, she spent another 50 gold to buy a [Sleepy Fall] (C-rank), which could make someone fall into a short slumber, and a Sleeping Potion that could make someone sleep for 6 hours.

After buying these four items, Yu Xunge immediately ran out of the city.

Almost right before her disguise expired, she left Gloom City and returned to the graveyard where she had logged in.

Yu Xunge claimed the items from her mail into her inventory, learned the skill books, equipped the necklace, and then exited the game.

This time, her phone did not turn into black smoke, but as she exited, two bags appeared on the ground, one black and one white – her new 36-slot bags. A cool necklace slowly materialized around her neck, and the usage methods for two spells appeared in her mind.

Yu Xunge used Phantom Body Curse on herself. She felt a chill all over her body, as if a layer of icy water had slid over her, and then she could no longer see her own body.

Time was precious. After drinking a Phasing Potion, she returned to Yu Xunhuan's room.

Yu Xunhuan was actually awake and squatting on the ground, constantly trying to turn on his phone, which he had smashed.

Seeing his frustrated expression, Yu Xunge felt a pang of fear. Was this the male lead? Even with his phone half-broken and constantly displaying suggestive content, he still had the impulse to play with it?!

As she thought this, she noticed Yu Xunhuan walking towards the suitcase and starting to rummage through it.

Yu Xunge's sharp eyes spotted the tablet and laptop inside his suitcase.

Holy crap! I was careless! There's a tablet too!

Fine, fine, you want to play it this way, huh?

Without hesitation, Yu Xunge cast [Sleepy Fall] directly at Yu Xunhuan. This skill was originally prepared for Yu Xunhuan. She would be leaving the hotel for a long time now and couldn't keep an eye on him.

After Yu Xunhuan collapsed to the ground, Yu Xunge walked over and poured the Sleeping Potion into his mouth. After ensuring he swallowed it all, she left the hotel. The Phantom Body Curse consumed 10 mana per minute. She continuously chewed on dried meat, so with the consumption and regeneration, she was only using 5 mana per minute.

It would take 20 minutes to use up all her mana, but at a time like this, drinking a Minor Mana Potion would restore 60 points.

Combined with the invisibility potion, she could remain invisible for a long time without needing to find a place to hide during the potion's cooldown.

Yu Xunge ran directly towards the Su family's manor.

Where could large amounts of gold be found? Besides banks, there was the Su family's treasury!

All secrets that could not be known to others and properties that needed protection were kept there.

Yu Xunge knew this because the evil formation that could strip others of their God-Bestowed Talent was located in that treasure room.

The current time is 7:13.

After equipping the necklace that reduced cooldowns, the cooldown for Armor Up! was shortened to five hours and six minutes. She would be able to use the Disguise Skill to enter the game again at 12:12.

The second internal test ended at 13:06.

She only had 4 hours.

At 12:12, regardless of whether she could get gold from the Su family, she would find a safe place to enter the game and use the Disguise Skill again to enter the city. Although she was willing to change her original plan for the sake of Phantom Shift, she wouldn't push her luck.

She had originally planned to stock up on goods and then go to the wilderness to fight monsters and level up. Now, she was simply swapping the time she would have spent in the wilderness for time spent grinding the Su family instance.

It was impossible for her to run to the Su family. Their manor was a two-hour drive from the city center. Last time, she had almost died just running from the Liang family to the city.

She called the "Gun King" who had shot at Yu Xunhuan seven times but missed his vital parts. She asked him to find someone who could drive fast and was willing to earn some extra cash to deliver a double-door refrigerator, which was placed in an alley next to the XX Hotel, to a suburban villa area. She offered fifty thousand yuan if they reached the destination within an hour and a half, with an additional ten thousand for every minute they were early.

Even though the Gun King earned fifty kilograms of gold for each job, he still knew many brothers who were principled and principled, willing to break the law but not shed blood. After Yu Xunge repeatedly assured him that there were no dismembered bodies in the refrigerator, he immediately agreed to take the job.

Ten minutes later, a black pickup truck stopped at the entrance of the alley. Two people got out and looked around the alley entrance before quickly finding the refrigerator mentioned by the employer. After the two of them loaded the refrigerator into the truck, they started speeding off.

At 8:45, the refrigerator was placed in the woods outside the villa area.

Yu Xunge, who had hitched a ride with the refrigerator, put it back into her bag. Following the usual routine, she put on a swim cap to ensure not a single strand of hair would fall out, donned a mask and gloves, and then cast the Phantom Body Curse again before heading towards the Su family.
