Han Family

Yu Xunge had no intention of killing Su Jinxuan. After all, Su Jinxuan had later died at the male lead's hands. He liked Liang Yuchuan, so of course he had to die, didn't he?

Not only that, before he died, he had caused the male lead plenty of trouble—framing him, exploiting him, mocking him, stealing his things, and so on. He was practically the gender-swapped sister-in-law from a female-oriented webnovel...

After stealing four points of attributes, Yu Xunge immediately started searching Su Jinxuan for equipment.

She actually found something: a basic cloth belt that gave +1 Constitution when worn. It was not that she looked down on such a tiny bonus; the belt was simply too filthy... It looked as though a butcher had worn it while slaughtering pigs for ten years, soaking it through with lard before letting it dry in the wind.

It was a cloth belt, yet when she pulled it out, it was stiff like a leather belt.

Forget it. She could not get cocky. She tossed the belt into her backpack. It could sell for at least a few dozen silver coins.

After leaving the Su Family, Yu Xunge hurried over to Liang Yuchuan's walk-in closet. The Liang Family had recently installed Revealing Potion spray devices as well, but like the Su Family's, they only used basic Revealing Potions.

After all, spraying potions across an entire estate every day consumed an astonishing amount. Where would they get so many intermediate potions?

Liang Yuchuan had been having a terrible time lately. She knew modern technology could not cure her hand, yet she refused to use a prosthetic. So she had been frantically searching for players, and had even ordered many trusted Liang Family subordinates to join the game.

At the same time, she suspected Liang Hui might have been involved. Otherwise, why had Liang Hui died on the very day her hand was severed? Because she had Soros's glasses, she naturally knew Liang Hui was also a player, though she had never exposed it.

Yet after sending people to investigate everyone Liang Hui had recently met, they found nothing.

With no progress being made, she discovered during the second closed beta that her game character was also missing a forearm. Liang Yuchuan's mental state had become terrifying lately. Aside from her family, almost no one dared approach her.

After stealing for over an hour, Liang Yuchuan finally yielded something too: +1 Constitution.

Yu Xunge immediately returned to her villa. After downing a huge cup of coffee, she made three large bowls of meat dishes and placed them in front of the cat bed. She patted the three cat heads inside, then left the villa and drove herself to the airport.

Although she could have used Phantom Shift directly to reach the airport, as long as she was not doing something bad, she would pretend she did not possess that skill. That way, anyone who wanted to investigate her movements would find something.

At the airport, she told Yu Qingshan and the others that she was heading to Beijing. She had found information on the forum about someone who was likely a player, so she was going to look into it.

Yu Qingshan and the others believed her completely.

While waiting to board, she closed her eyes and watched a video in her mind of the Undead Female Mentor brewing basic potions.

A cautious voice came from beside her. It belonged to a young girl, who asked whether she was Yu Xunge.

Yu Xunge paused. The faces of all kinds of enemies and companions from her previous life flashed through her mind, but none matched.

The prolonged silence made the girl uneasy. Thinking she had upset Yu Xunge, she apologized. "Sorry, I disturbed you. I'm sorry! I didn't mean to... I just couldn't help myself. It's been so long since I heard any news about you."

Ah... a fan?

It felt so distant... such pure, clumsy affection.

Yu Xunge pulled down her mask and chatted with the girl for a while. She even bought her a coffee. But having seen all sorts of bizarre God-Bestowed Talents, she refused to give an autograph.

Even after boarding the plane, Yu Xunge was still thinking about it.

Those troubles from the entertainment industry felt like they had happened centuries ago. Even Liu Zhengliu sending her to a dead man's bed seemed like child's play in retrospect.

Han Qianshan and Han Qianhai had nearly gotten her onto an alien's bed too.

Su Yitong was bad as well, but most of her methods involved using her power to suppress others. She did not resort to dirty tricks. She would have others steal Yu Xunge's resources, buy up every material on the market when she learned Yu Xunge urgently needed it, forcibly take away her high-level quest items, and so on.

Liang Yuchuan was vicious. When she hated someone, she preferred action over words, with no elaborate schemes involved. To her, directly harming someone's body was far more effective than psychological torture. Her life motto was: better to torture the body than the heart.

As for those siblings from the Han family, they were both sinister and venomous. On the surface, they acted affectionate and friendly, but their methods were utterly vile. They had even once tried to contract her as their slave...

Every single one of them was seriously sick in the head.

Yu Xunhuan was a live-in son-in-law for three different families, so was she the female lead of an abusive romance story for three different families?

She had never understood why those three women, instead of fighting each other when they had so much free time, chose to take out their anger on her.

And it was not just them. Even the male lead's male friends were the same.

She suspected Yu Xunhuan had done something behind the scenes... but she had no proof.

She could no longer remember the details of the book she had seen at death's door. But even if she did, its contents had been whitewashed.

The book was not important. Her feelings were what mattered. The Han siblings had to be properly "taken care of."

Standing in B City, Yu Xunge called Gun King and asked whether he knew how to get into B City's underground passageways.

Gun King said, "First, go to XX Bank, then head north for XX kilometers. There's a McKing there. Go inside and say you want the Crazy Wednesday set meal. If he says they don't have it, say you want a two-yuan ice cream cone. Tell him you don't want the cone, just put the ice cream in a cup. Then he'll take you there."

Yu Xunge said, "..."

Yu Xunge asked, "Why did the underground passage in S City only require finding the right bar's back door?"

Gun King said, "Ah, because the place you went into back then wasn't actually the underground market."

Yu Xunge clutched her pig brain in disbelief. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" She had even hired someone there to cut off a dick! And that was not the underground market?

Gun King said, "Well, it was a coincidence that you even ran into me then. I happened to go up for coffee. If you want to find S City's underground passage, you need to go to XX Coffee Shop and say you want a two-liter black coffee. When he says they don't have cups that big, tell him you brought your own beans. When he asks you to take them out, give him a one-gram gold bean. Then he'll take you in."

Yu Xunge was silent for a long time before sighing. "People in the capital really are honest."

Gun King said, "Yeah. I'll wait for your call."

Then he hung up.

Why was he making it sound vaguely flirty? Yu Xunge sneered. Who would call him?

A few minutes later, Yu Xunge was squatting by the curb, calling Gun King.

She wanted a drink to drown her sorrows.

Gun King asked, "What's wrong? Couldn't get in?"

Yu Xunge looked at the McKing across the street. "Yeah. He took me to a door, and then we just stared at each other. I was considerate, of course I was considerate! I immediately pulled out a stack of cash for him, but he refused it and even threw me out."

Gun King said, "They don't take cash either. They only take gold. You need two grams."

Yu Xunge said, "? Why didn't you say that earlier?"

Gun King said, "So you could experience the capital's honesty."

Yu Xunge said, "..."
