After buying information on the Han family, Yu Xunge went straight out to find a massage parlor and booked a three-hour package. She caught up on sleep while getting a massage. She did not plan to sleep tonight either.
She was in a hurry. The sooner she finished, the sooner she could return and continue her alchemy lessons.
It was already July 3. The third closed beta would begin on October 10, so she had to raise her alchemy proficiency as much as possible.
No wonder she was masseuse number 88. Such a good number would only be given to true experts. Yu Xunge slept through the entire three-hour massage, yet felt as though she had rested for a whole night. She glanced at the masseuse and thought that after the Game Invasion, this person's massage technique might even become a data-based skill.
Yu Xunge did not look for a hotel again. The massage parlor allowed overnight stays for a fee. After confirming that there were no surveillance cameras in the room, she booked the massage room and told the attendant not to wake her until eight the next morning.
After the attendant left, Yu Xunge carefully checked again to make sure there were no cameras. She locked the room, casually set her bag on the massage bed, went into the restroom, used the Phantom Body Curse, then Phantom Shifted to a SF Express station not far from the entrance to the black market.
It was not a good habit to keep having delivery runners send goods to the crime scene. She did not like letting others figure out her habits.
She directly obtained the courier transport schedule. At this time every day, a transport truck stopped at this station, unloaded the goods for it, and continued onward. The seventh station was closest to the Han family, only five kilometers away.
It was a little troublesome, but she had never been to the Han family before, so she could not use Phantom Shift. Without a clear image in her mind, she was afraid she might crash right into Han Qianshan.
By riding in an actual SF Express truck, Yu Xunge arrived outside the Han family... manor before nightfall.
These days, a wife who did not live in a manor was not qualified to take in a husband, was she?
Yu Xunge took a deep breath. Drawing on her extensive experience in home invasion and robbery, she quickly found Han Qianshan.
As for Han Qianhai, like her, he was the male and female leads' relative. But her treatment could not compare with Han Qianhai's. Han Qianshan and Han Qianhai truly loved each other like siblings. Even after Han Qianshan genuinely fell in love with Yu Xunhuan, she would never hurt Han Qianhai for Yu Xunhuan's sake.
Yu Xunge had been so envious in her previous life.
Today's mission was mainly Soros, not revenge. Yu Xunge used a potion to walk straight into Han Qianshan's room and skillfully crawled into...
Fuck, Han Qianshan's bed had a solid base. There was wood underneath...
Yu Xunge sat cross-legged at the foot of the bed. All she could say was that it was fortunate she had learned the Phantom Body Curse.
She lowered her eyes and did not look at Han Qianshan. People were strange sometimes; even in their sleep, they could keenly sense someone else's gaze.
As usual, she warmed up with Fate Gear first. After reducing Han Qianshan's Luck to 1, she added a Sleepy Fall for insurance, then started drinking Minor Healing Potions without regard for the cost as she used I Want This, This, and This on Han Qianshan.
Intelligence +1
Intelligence +1
Soros Hat +1
Stop!
She really had seen this hat in her previous life. So this was Soros's final set piece.
No, was this thing really standard issue for the female lead?!
She could not wait to inspect the Soros Hat.
Soros Set: Hat (3/3) (A-rank): Even fortune-tellers capable of crossing the river of fate—well, I mean, if their skills and items are A-rank or below—will be unable to learn your whereabouts. Must be worn to take effect.
When she took out the Soros Set: Glasses and Soros Set: Mask and placed them together with the hat.
The black top hat, gold-rimmed glasses, and silver mask gave off a faint glow, then slowly merged into a small, exquisite silver pocket watch.
Soros's Time (S-rank): You do not need to know who I am, where I am, or what I am doing. I'm in a Hurry.
Skill 1: Disguise: As long as you wish it, you can disguise everything about yourself. Takes effect immediately after disguising;
Skill 2: Inspect: As long as you wish it, you can inspect anything you want to know; inspecting detailed information consumes 10 Mana per second. Energy-saving mode can be activated to display only basic information on people/items, consuming 1 Mana per minute;
Skill 3: Concealment: You cannot be divined by any person or object. If someone attempts to divine your whereabouts, you will sense their presence. (Soros is the strongest. Even if an SS-rank comes, all they can see is a patch of fog. I said so—Soros.)
Set Skill I'm in a Hurry: After use, you will teleport to wherever your gaze reaches, up to a maximum distance of 5 meters. Cooldown: 10 seconds.
What a haul!!!
Yu Xunge steadied her breathing and immediately activated Inspect's energy-saving mode. Now, she discovered that the players in her field of vision looked just as they had in the game: a line of blue, faintly glowing text appeared above their heads, showing their name, level, HP, and Mana percentages.
For example, above Han Qianshan's head was: Han Qianshan Level 0 100%┃100%.
Yu Xunge suppressed the turmoil in her heart and used the skill on Han Qianshan several more times.
Constitution +1
Time to go!
Then she went to Han Qianhai's room downstairs.
Fate Gear was still on cooldown, so she could only give him the Sleepy Fall + Thief God combo.
She worked until dawn and only got two points of Constitution.
By the time she walked out of the Han family manor, her main stats were as follows:
HP: 150/150 Mana: 200/200 Strength: 8 Constitution: 8+3 Intelligence: 12+2 Agility: 21 Luck: 10 (maximum) Charm: 10 (maximum)
Her HP had finally started increasing as well. Constitution was a comprehensive attribute related to vitality, defense, magic resistance, Mental Resistance, HP recovery speed, and so on. Her initial Constitution had only been 6. When it increased before, her HP had not changed, but once her Constitution exceeded 10, every additional point of Constitution gave her 50 more HP. Every level-up also brought an increase... but the amount gained upon leveling up was not fixed. The higher a person's Constitution, the greater their Constitution bonus upon leveling up.
The same applied to Mana. Due to the increase in her Intelligence Value, her Mana had now reached as high as 300.
Yu Xunge hung the pocket watch around her neck and tucked it inside her underwear. If she could, she would have loved to sew a little password-locked pocket into her underwear and lock the pocket watch inside.
Although disguising information still took effect as long as it was placed in her bag, she had to wear it to avoid being divined. Besides, she also had to wear it to use its Item Skills. Soros's Set Skill was too useful. There was no way she would not use it.
Since she had ridden in vehicles all the way to the Han family, she had seen the map along the route. Even though the Han family was over thirty kilometers from the massage parlor, she could now use Phantom Shift. With 14 Intelligence, she could move 14 kilometers each time. After three Phantom Shifts, Yu Xunge returned to the massage parlor's restroom.
She showered, changed clothes, unlocked the door, and went to bed, avoiding sudden death from overwork.
When the attendant came in at eight to wake her, she simply booked another three hours. She got massaged until noon, then went out for a meal.
She had to think of a gift to leave Han Qianshan and Han Qianhai.
Otherwise, it would not do justice to the slave formation they had once carved into her back.
Yu Xunhuan had rushed over to save her back then, but now that her pig brain had upgraded, using version 2.0 of her pig brain to think about it made her realize something was off. Hey, why had he come neither early nor late, but only after the formation was complete and the incantation had been spoken?
She could not bear it. She absolutely could not bear to kill Han Qianshan with one slash.
She had to torment her before killing her, only then would her mind be at peace.
Otherwise, it would feel like walking into an all-you-can-eat buffet after starving for ten days, only to gorge herself on chicken and vegetable salad for the sake of her health.
If she killed an enemy with a single strike, she would spend the rest of her life occasionally sitting bolt upright in the middle of the night and slapping herself. No, you just killed her like that?!
