Crazy Shopping Spree

[Animagus] (A+ Rank): Can transform into any animal you have petted within the last 7 natural days. Cannot be seen through by skills or items below A-rank. The skill is interrupted upon taking any damage. You cannot use skills other than God-Bestowed Talents while transformed. There is no cooldown, and each use consumes 50 mana.

The restrictions are a bit much, but it's very practical. And that last condition, [Cannot use skills other than God-Bestowed Talents], is simply wonderful. This skill was made for her!

3000 gold, I'll buy it!

[Shadow Control] (A+ Rank) 2500 gold! Allows you to control shadows to move freely. Shadows can use all of the user's skills, but all their stats are only 20% of the user's. This is a perfect skill for ambushing people! Buy!

[Fountain of Light] (A+ Rank): Upon use, creates a wellspring that lasts for 3 minutes. The gushing spring water has healing properties, restoring 1 HP per ml of water. The skill cooldown is 30 minutes, and each use consumes 1% mana.

This is a life-saving item. Not only can it save herself, but with this skill, as long as she participates in group fights, she won't be easily abandoned. Even the male and female leads wouldn't easily attack her. 3000 gold, buy.

[Ice Flower Seal] (C Rank): Creates a snowflake that flies towards the target. Upon contact, it will freeze the target for 3 seconds. The freezing effect is affected by the caster's Intelligence. (Chanting time: 2 seconds, Cooldown: 30 seconds, Each use consumes 50 mana)

An ice-element control skill. Although it can be countered by fire-element spells, there's nothing that can be done about it. Most skills have checks and balances. And it's only 103 gold, buy.

[Magic Missile] (C Rank): Guides magic missiles to fly towards the target. No chanting time, no cooldown. Consumes 10 mana per second.

An instant-cast spell that doesn't require chanting. 97 gold, buy!

[God of Cookery's Bib] (B Rank): When you wear this item and eat, all the buff effects from the food are doubled.

An item that can be used forever. 700 gold, buy!

[Percy's Cat Toy] (F Rank): Has no special effects, but cats go crazy for it and it will attract cats.

It's perfect to use with my Meow Meow Hostel, and it's not expensive, only 17 gold, buy.

[Compass] (E Rank): It can help you detect unclaimed treasures within 1 kilometer and guide you to find them.

One kilometer, the distance is a bit short. 80 gold, I'll take it.

[Magician's Denture] (B Rank): Contains 1 cubic meter of space and requires the removal of one of your teeth sockets. It can hide anything you don't want others to know. (Equipment or items placed inside cannot be detected by any skills or items, but they also cannot be used.)

A must-have for the wealthy! Yu Xunge considers herself to have too many good items, so 999 gold is acceptable.

[Alchemy Set] (E Rank): Increases your alchemy success rate and has a 1% chance to upgrade your potions by one level.

[Alchemy Notes]: When reading, there's a chance to comprehend alchemy recipes you haven't learned yet. (Recipe level can be at most 1 level higher than your alchemy level.) (Effective only once every 30 natural days)

[Engineering Notes]: When reading, there's a chance to comprehend engineering recipes you haven't learned yet. (Recipe level can be at most 1 level higher than your engineering level.) (Effective only once every 30 natural days)

The Alchemy Set isn't expensive, only 50 gold. The two notes combined are 2000 gold.

But 2000 gold isn't a high price. Her alchemy and engineering are both advanced now. Reading these notes gives her a chance to comprehend master-level alchemy recipes. This is practically a portable treasure vault. Even if she can only comprehend one per month, it's worth it!

She also found the [Cooking Notes]. This one was much cheaper, only 350 gold.

She bought them all.

Money only has meaning when converted into resources; otherwise, it's just waste paper.

From the 20,000 gold she got from the goblins, plus the 3,116 gold she hadn't used since coming in the morning, she had a total of gold. After buying all these, only 220 gold remained.

Most skills obtained from dungeons after the game invasion were C-rank. Since she could buy them, she naturally bought those she couldn't obtain herself. Therefore, she only bought two C-rank spells, one for control and one for offense. That's enough.

She focused on the top-tier skills and useful items that she had never encountered before she died in her previous life.

Time really flies when shopping.

After collecting her parcels and learning all the skills, Yu Xunge left the auction house, still wanting more.

12:42

There were 18 minutes left until the closed beta ended.

She ran to the herbalist's shop and filled all thirty-plus backpack slots with herbs before leaving.

12:47

Yu Xunge stood not far from the Undead Palace, looking at it. Ever since she last stole the Undead City Lord's God-Bestowed Talent, the guards outside the palace had increased by several hundredfold. These undead soldiers were practically holding hands to surround the palace.

But it didn't matter. Yu Xunge maintained her goblin skin and walked to the Undead City's teleportation array. Using her last 5 gold coins, she chose to teleport and arrived at one of the elven main cities – Blood Moon City.

12:57

Yu Xunge stood before the elven main city and told the elven guard captain, who had a magnificent bow on his back, that her anchor point was having issues and she needed to see the City Lord. The moment she said that, the captain drew his bow and aimed it at her.

At that moment, Yu Xunge's mind went almost completely blank. The instant the name of that small figure turned red, she didn't hesitate and immediately used [The Thief God's Steal, or the Steal of a Bandit].

[By the name of the Thief God, you attempt to steal the God-Bestowed Talent of Blood Moon City's Guard Captain, Elphara.]

[Steal Successful]

[You have died.]

The screen went black.

It quickly lit up again. Now, the screen only showed a goblin in ghost form standing in the graveyard.

There were two options in the upper right corner: either go find her corpse for a weak resurrection, or wait for automatic revival. The revival countdown was 47:57:36.

Yu Xunge held her phone still, waiting quietly until the time reached 13:06.

Her phone turned into black smoke, leaving only two parcels on the ground.

She looked at her hands. Good, she hadn't turned into a ghost. Even though she knew she wouldn't die in the closed beta, she was still startled for a moment when she saw her character turn into a ghost.

After reassuring herself, the first thing Yu Xunge did was modify her status panel, hiding the newly acquired God-Bestowed Talent. Then, she tucked the parcels into the inner pockets of her clothes and drank an Invisibility Potion. The skills she had learned surfaced in her mind, the incantations, hand gestures, and techniques for circulating her magic were as if etched into her brain.

She could sense a small area centered on herself, but most of this area was covered by a thin mist. Only a part of it was extremely clear to her, and this clear part was crooked and distorted, like the route displayed on a running app.

As long as she wished, she could immediately use magic to move to these locations within this area. Clearly, these were places she had visited before.
