Drawing God-Bestowed Talent

On the way here, she had even considered whether to take him down after Yu Xunhuan downloaded the game, so that when he learned the game's significance a year later, he would be heartbroken.

But she quickly extinguished that thought; she didn't dare to take the risk.

What if she was two minutes late and he managed to draw a talent?

Then she would be the one heartbroken.

Yu Xunge prepared to stay in Yu Xunhuan's room tonight.

2:22

After the time jumped to this number, Yu Xunge immediately searched for "Dread Rift: Warcraft" in the app store. Seeing the red moon on the app, she only felt a sense of peace. This life would definitely be different.

Yu Xunge was racing against time. She didn't know how many people were playing this game tonight, nor how long those who had soared to success by participating in the internal test in her previous life had been playing. She only knew that every minute now was precious.

The opening animation was skipped, and she went directly to the character creation interface.

She didn't know if it was due to the game's power, but after entering the character customization screen, the default character already looked about 80% like Yu Xunge. She planned to cause trouble in the game, so this wouldn't do. She clicked on random facial features and stopped when she got one that didn't resemble her too much. For the name, she casually entered "Gē Wū Ēn".

The game world was set in a Western fantasy background, with different races and factions. However, no matter how opposed these races and factions were, they had formed an alliance when invading Earth.

Humans naturally couldn't transform into other races, but Yu Xunge still carefully selected her character's race because each race had talents. She wanted to see if she could steal a race's talent through her game character after choosing a race.

She had killed various life forms of different races. Many had given her a headache, but the one she least wanted to encounter was the Undead.

The Undead were one of the few races with two racial talents.

[Undead Will]: Already dead, the more desperate you are, the stronger your willpower becomes. When your HP is below 5%, all attributes are doubled. When your HP is below 1%, your current attributes are doubled again.

[Consume]: Eating flesh and blood can restore your injuries.

The former was almost a god-tier skill for turning the tide. If someone reduced her HP to below 5% but above 1%, she would double her stats. Then, if they reduced it further to below 1%, her already doubled stats would be doubled again.

So, when encountering an Undead, if you couldn't quickly burst them down after reducing their HP to below 6%, the worst-case scenario would be facing an enemy with quadrupled attributes.

As for [Consume], it allowed her to have a way to restore HP by eating meat after all healing skills and potions were on cooldown.

In her previous life, she had fallen into a weakened state countless times, which was akin to silently waiting for death.

If she could regain HP by eating flesh and blood, how difficult would it be to kill her?

After choosing the Undead as her race, the character's complexion became noticeably paler and thinner.

As a world with a mature combat system invaded Earth, heaven naturally gave Earth a chance to survive.

On the day the game invaded, all humans had a chance to draw a God-Bestowed Talent. This was also something all alien races possessed from birth. Now, it was merely for balance, and it was the key for Earthlings to rise rapidly and resist the invasion.

Now, Yu Xunge also had one after creating her character.

The moment the character was created, the screen transformed into a starry sky. Although it was only a starry sky the size of a phone screen, Yu Xunge felt as if she were standing under the vast cosmos, a tiny being facing billions of stars.

She tapped casually.

The stars rained down on her like meteors, and the screen emitted a shattering sound effect.

[Impersonate] (A-rank)

You can impersonate anyone. When you successfully convince ten thousand people to recognize you as that person, kill them, absorb everything about them, and they will become your character slot. You can switch to their life at any time. No item or skill can see through this. You can voluntarily cancel the substitution status, but after canceling three times, that character's slot disappears.

[Skill 1] Life is a piece of cake: You can store up to three substitute characters.

[Skill 2] I am the Film Empress: You can imitate skills you have seen, but their power will only be 20% of the original.

This was her God-Bestowed Talent from her previous life.

In her previous life, it was this skill that led the Su, Han, and Liang families to jointly pursue her. It was also because of this skill that she was able to evade capture for so long under the joint pursuit of the three major powers.

This skill was only A-rank, but if used well, its effect was comparable to S-rank. For the powerful and wealthy, it had immense utility. Replacing a family head or even a city administrator meant unspoken advantages.

However, with the chance to start over this life, she naturally wanted something better.

Yu Xunge directly deleted her character and created a new one.

This was not a risk. The shut-in who had wreaked havoc in her previous life had said in an interview that when he participated in the internal test back then, he was unhappy with his talent and deleted his character to re-roll for a good talent, which left him with very little game time in the end.

Compared to game time, a talent that determined one's fate was naturally more important.

Yu Xunge continuously created characters and drew talents, deleting them if she was not satisfied.

During this process, several talents that made her heart flutter appeared.

[Broker] (A-rank)

After introducing transactions between buyers and sellers, you can collect a 5% commission from both parties.

[Skill 1] Free is the most expensive: If both parties trade items, there is a 5% chance to copy the item's skills and turn them into your character's skills.

[Skill 2] Let's be friends: If both trading parties attempt to bypass you for the transaction, after using this skill, the trade item of the lower value will automatically appear in your hand.

[Sublimate] (A-rank)

After use, it sublimes an item, upgrading its level. It can be used once every 30 natural days.

[Sleight of Hand] (A-rank)

You can steal anything, be it items, attributes, or even talents. However, you only have one chance to steal from each person, regardless of success or failure. The secret to not getting caught is to reject greed.

[Skill 1] This item looks familiar: After use, there is a 10% chance to steal one item from the opponent; after use, there is a 5% chance to steal 1 attribute point from the opponent (attribute is random).

[Skill 2] Defy Fate, Once Acquired, I Am the God of Thieves as Long as I Live: After use, there is a 0.05% chance to steal the target's talent.

Yu Xunge spent the longest time on Sleight of Hand...

It was so tempting.

Her hesitation wasn't due to a moral code; after the game invaded, she killed people almost daily. With that out of the way, what was theft?

This skill was truly enticing. Despite the low probability, she knew of many items that could increase skill success rates.

After weighing the pros and cons, Yu Xunge still gave up. This skill was too dangerous; it could easily provoke hostility from other players.

Moreover, this God-Bestowed Talent couldn't truly change her life.

After deleting her character and recreating it over ten more times, upon lighting up a point of light in the starry sky once again, she saw the moon rush towards her for the first time!

Accompanying it was a voice that directly echoed in her mind: Greedy, self-controlled, skilled at disguise, you are qualified to walk the earth as the God of Thieves' proxy.

[God of Thieves] (S-Class)

You can steal all things in the world: items, stats, talents, even life. Only a petty thief refuses greed; the God of Thieves loves stealing as much as they love their own life. If someone possesses something you absolutely must have, you have no reason to stop. You can use skills on the same person repeatedly, but from the second use onwards, each theft will deduct 20% of your health.

[Skill 1] I Want This, This, and This: Upon use, there is a 20% chance to steal one item or a point of money from the target, and a 10% chance to steal 1 point of the target's highest stat. (Cannot target beings with a lower life tier than yourself; the God of Thieves never bullies the weak.)

[Skill 2] The God of Thieves' Steal Can Also Be a Bandit's Steal: Sorry, I stole your entire house. I apologize. Gambling on the name of the God of Thieves, steal the target's God-Bestowed Talent. This skill can only be used once in a lifetime by the God of Thieves. (If the stolen God-Bestowed Talent is higher than S-Class, there is a chance of failure.)

[Skill 3] Armor, Come! : Summon your disguise. Upon use, you can briefly alter your appearance, build, and scent. It cannot be seen through by any item or skill. Disguise duration is 1 hour, with a cooldown of 6 hours.

[Skill 4] Oh, Where Did Mine Go? (Passive): After a successful theft, the victim will briefly forget they ever owned such an item and will only remember losing something a day later.

At this moment, Yu Xunge chose this talent without hesitation.

5 minutes ago: Being a thief isn't good, right?

5 minutes later: I want it!!!
