Act Until Your Heart Breaks

Yu Xunge had a major performance to put on in a few days.

But before that, she went to the hospital to have a tooth pulled. Once the space was cleared, she fitted in Magician's Denture.

The denture took root firmly the moment it touched the socket, before the anesthetic had even worn off.

The second matter was figuring out how to deal with the secret room in the Yu Family study. She hadn't expected Yu Qingshan to be this useless—after so long, he still hadn't noticed!!

Under these circumstances, if she said she was a second-round Beta Tester, even pigs would know who had moved the treasures out.

On June 8, Yu Xunge had no choice but to make another trip to Hong Kong City. Based on the photos of the jewelry and antiques she had sold before, she had someone urgently produce a batch of fakes that looked eighty percent alike, along with three hundred jin of fake gold bars. Using the Game Inventory and Phantom Shift, she moved it all back into Yu Qingshan's study.

There was nothing at home that needed money anytime soon, anyway. When she had escaped back in her previous life, the old couple had still been relocating those treasures.

Although Yu Xunhuan had constantly asked her for money in her previous life, that was because he had become a Beta Tester and needed vast amounts of cash. But in this life, he was just an ordinary 9cm warrior. What did he need money for?!

By the time she finished dealing with everything, it was already the 10th.

That day, Yu Xunge not only summoned Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo to the hotel where Yu Xunhuan was staying, she had even wanted to call Su Yitong over as well. But Su Yitong had lost an ear and wasn't in the mood to deal with her.

Fine. It didn't matter if the female protagonist didn't come. It was fine if she couldn't gain the female protagonist's trust value. Creating a rift between the male and female protagonists was good too.

Yu Xunhuan sat beside the bed with his eyes lowered, wearing an obedient expression that said, "Although I'm in a bad mood, I'll cooperate with whatever my sister wants to do."

Once everyone was seated, Yu Xunge made sure the hotel room door was tightly shut, then returned to them and lowered her voice mysteriously. "I found a possible way to cure my brother."

With that one sentence, the two people who appeared gentle on the surface but were already impatient inside, along with the one person impatient inside and out, all widened their eyes and looked at her.

Yu Xunge said that she had been bored while waiting for someone a few mornings ago, so she downloaded a game to play. But after only two hours, the game vanished, and her phone vanished along with it. Most importantly, she had brought things and skills from the game out with her! She even searched for the game in front of them, but found nothing.

Not only Yu Qingshan and Yu Xunhuan—even Yi Qiuguo slowed her breathing. Her temper wasn't great, and she was always impulsive, but she knew Yu Xunge's personality. Yu Xunge would never joke about something important.

Yu Xunge lowered her voice even further, then took a tattered little gray pouch from her pocket—the four-slot pouch she had obtained from Fate Gear's previous owner.

Then, right in front of them, she pulled three lunchboxes far larger than the gray pouch itself out of it. After that, she took out a glass vial the size of her little finger, filled with liquid like a red gemstone, and handed it to Yu Xunhuan. "This is a Healing Potion from the game. Hurry, drink it and see if it can cure you!"

Yu Xunhuan accepted the vial with trembling hands. His gaze at Yu Xunge was filled with extremely complicated emotions: disbelief, being moved, gratitude, and jealousy.

Yu Xunge urged, "Hurry up and try it!"

Yi Qiuguo was even more anxious than she was, constantly urging Yu Xunhuan on. Yu Qingshan's fists were clenched tight, and he looked like he wanted nothing more than to rush over and pour the potion down Yu Xunhuan's throat.

Yu Xunhuan tilted his head back and drank the potion, then... then nothing happened. His expression darkened as he stared at his pants.

Still a 9cm big boy.

What sinful deeds. She had never seen a male protagonist in a power-fantasy novel whose thing was single-digit.

9cm—round that up, and what was the difference from 0?!

At that moment, Yu Xunhuan was grateful that he was an actor. She forced a smile and consoled him, "Even if this doesn't work, now we know about something this miraculous. I caught this opportunity, and you might catch one next time too!"

Without waiting for anyone to speak, she continued, "I originally wanted to call Yitong over today because I wanted her to investigate too. This game is so miraculous—I can't be the only one. The Su Family is powerful, so the information they get will definitely be more than what ordinary people like us can find."

After calming himself down, Yu Xunhuan asked, "What skills did you get?"

"It's not really a skill. It's a talent I drew. It can make someone lucky or unlucky by changing a person's Luck Value. It can only be used once a day." As she spoke, she smiled. "Want to try it? I can raise your luck to 10. That's the maximum."

She had already decided that, from now on, she would disguise her God-Bestowed Talent as Fate Gear. This talent was too useful. Being able to alter someone else's luck was one thing, but she could also choose whether to hide it from the target. It was practically the ultimate skill for doing bad things—hide it when making people unlucky, show it when doing good deeds. Perfect.

Yu Xunhuan's emotions were complicated for a moment. This talent sounded very useful, but it wasn't some outrageously powerful skill that would forever create an insurmountable gap between people. Still, he regretted that it wasn't Healing Type... Yet all those emotions passed in an instant. The jealousy faded, leaving only gratitude—genuine gratitude.

Yu Xunge was actually willing to tell them such a huge secret.

Even though Yu Xunge always held something back and refused to give them all the money she earned, at that moment, those grievances began to fade.

He thought, Fine. I won't have Su Yitong suppress her anymore. I'll find some other way to increase Su Yitong's sense of crisis.

Yu Qingshan's feelings were equally complicated. Why hadn't this kind of lucky encounter happened to his son? But then his heart warmed too. He knew the son he had raised. If Yu Xunhuan had encountered something like this, he might have let him have a sip of the soup, but he certainly wouldn't have told him everything without holding anything back!

Yi Qiuguo was the same. On one hand, she regretted that it hadn't happened to her son, while on the other, her heart burned with emotion. She muttered to herself that Yu Xunge really was a foolish girl, telling her family everything.

Yu Xunge opened the packets of food and had everyone eat together while they talked. Then she smiled awkwardly and put the pouch away, making it clear that this would not be shared.

Unlike the discomfort they had felt in the past, Yu Xunge had often given the family money before. But to Yu Qingshan and Yu Xunhuan, who knew the family's true assets, that little money proved nothing. Yu Xunge's reservations only made them think she was an ungrateful wretch. They always felt that she was holding back from her family and guarding against them.

But now that Yu Xunge had shared such an extraordinary encounter with them, even though she showed a slight degree of reservation, Yu Qingshan and Yu Xunhuan didn't think she hadn't done enough. They could only sigh helplessly to themselves that their daughter/sister was still so stingy.

Yu Xunge didn't have Mind Reading and couldn't figure out what those two old-and-young scumbags were thinking, but she followed her plan and remained vigilant at all times.

In her previous life, Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo had both become players only after the game officially invaded. Their talents had been ordinary, but she had made up her mind: if either of them ever won the talent lottery, she would eliminate them immediately.
