Meteorite Desert Eagle

A genuine meteorite pistol had been made by an American firearms manufacturer using a meteorite estimated to be 4.5 billion years old. There were only two in the world, each priced as high as four million US dollars. Many wealthy people wanted one but could not get it, because both had been donated directly to an American museum after they were made.

But where there was demand, someone would make it.

Meteorites were rare, but not nonexistent.

Through a broker's connections, Yu Xunge bought a meteorite pistol from a wealthy businessman who had spent a fortune having it custom-made years ago. One gun alone cost sixty million, non-negotiable. Back when he had been obsessed with firearms, simply acquiring the meteorite had taken enormous effort. Meteorites were far more expensive than gold!

What was more, he had needed to hire a professional craftsman to make it. He had not wanted a model, but a real, usable gun identical to the original meteorite pistol. Not to mention that it had been custom-made—he had customized the meteorite pistol into his favorite Desert Eagle, chambered for the .50 AE round, whose ballistic performance and stopping power were the most breathtaking.

The only drawback was the small magazine capacity: just seven rounds per magazine.

The wealthy man had been reluctant to sell, looking as though he might change his mind at any moment. He himself could not understand why he had suddenly wanted to sell it.

He required Yu Xunge to buy both guns together, because they were a pair.

A cherished possession was priceless. Even though the price was far above its intrinsic value, Yu Xunge paid without hesitation.

The Meteorite Desert Eagle was grayish silver throughout. The unique texture of meteorite paired with the rugged form of the Desert Eagle, and Yu Xunge fell in love with it at first sight. More importantly, she had the recipe for its ammunition in her Engineering Recipes.

After returning to the hotel with the case, she immediately stored it in Magician's Denture. Although the man had emphasized that the meteorite's radiation was extremely weak, all Yu Xunge could think of was that wealthy businessman's bald head.

She had learned Engineering. Even if she likely could not grind it to Advanced before the third closed beta, repairing firearms was no problem for her.

Yu Xunge had spent 620 million on bows, crossbows, and guns alone.

Through someone's introduction, she spent nearly another two million to commission ten thousand arrows of various types, fifty thousand Crossbow Bolts of various types, and seven thousand rounds compatible with the Desert Eagle.

They would not take any larger order.

With the last hundred million or so, she bought some swords, shields, and other weapons.

Aside from the Meteorite Desert Eagles, the rest totaled sixty weapons. She had ordered sixty matching weapon cases and stacked them inside her backpack.

As long as even a few of those sixty weapons mutated, she would not lose out!

Even purple weapons might not necessarily sell for the sky-high price of three thousand gold, because such things had grades. A level 10 legendary weapon and a level 20 legendary weapon could differ in price by several times. But these things were scarce commodities. Even if you could afford the price, people might not be willing to sell.

Although Yu Xunge spent most of September in Hong Kong City, her Alchemy had not fallen behind. She handed the trivial matters over to the broker and only needed to review the information he compiled for her, then inspect the weapons. If she liked them, she paid and completed the paperwork.

Whenever she received a weapon, she drove out alone for a spin. By the time she returned, the weapon was gone. The broker was tactful and never meddled in matters that did not concern him.

She treated stockpiling weapons as an activity to relax her mind, and her Alchemy experience actually increased faster, from five points a day to seven.

But she still could not make it in time for the third closed beta.

Speaking of the closed beta, the third one would be on October 10, while Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan would hold their wedding on October 18. Yu Xunge could only sigh in admiration. As expected of the male and female leads: they got engaged a few days before the second closed beta and married after the third closed beta ended.

The game was the witness to you two's happiness, was it?

Yu Xunge made up her mind to ensure that Yu Xunhuan missed the third closed beta as well.

On October 1, Yu Xunge rushed back to S City.

The first thing she did was give Meow Meow Hostel an extra meal. Since she had been away these past days and could not cook, she had placed automatic feeders beside the cat beds. Though the food was not as delicious as what she made herself, the feeders were filled with premium cat food.

After putting the meat broth she had made for the cats on the ground, she sat on the back courtyard steps and watched a calico cat and a tabby cat fight over food.

Although none of the cats had brought her anything after all this time, she had gradually come to regard entertaining them as a way to relieve stress. Whenever she was thinking something over, she often liked to watch unfamiliar cats as she thought.

Yu Xunhuan had now moved into the villa district, where strangers could not come and go freely. Su Yitong had encrypted Yu Xunhuan's phone, so the method from the second closed beta no longer worked.

Few people knew that Yu Xunhuan had moved. Even when his good friend Ye Dong came to S City, Yu Xunhuan merely lent Ye Dong the small apartment he used exclusively for work. He did not bring Ye Dong back to the Yu Family like he had in her previous life, so he could not easily shift the blame onto someone else.

After considering it over and over, Yu Xunge decided to first establish an alibi for herself during those days. In any case, she could use Phantom Shift. A Minor Mana Potion could restore 60 Mana, while Endless Coffee could restore 500 Mana.

With her Mana, which had risen to 200 as her Intelligence increased, as a foundation, she could go anywhere as long as she could endure it.

Of course, that was only in theory. She was not yet sure whether her body and mind could withstand it.

On the evening of the 4th, she went to the Yu Family villa. It was supposedly Yu Xunhuan's villa, but Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo had moved in as well.

She said that she wanted to visit Jiang City soon. They had grown used to her running all over the world lately, but that was not why Yu Xunge had come. In a serious tone, she said, "I found out the dates of the first and second closed betas. The first was February 2, and the second was June 6. A few other players and I suspect that, if there is a third closed beta, its date will probably be equally special. We have not heard of any closed beta on September 9, but after that come October 10, November 11, and so on. Closed beta could happen at any of these special dates, so on those days, you must keep your phone with you twenty-four hours a day. Understand?"

Yu Xunhuan was touched. For the first time, he felt the faintest trace of sibling affection for Yu Xunge. It was not just Yu Xunhuan—Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo felt the same. Their daughter might be stingy, but when it came to important matters, she was truly generous!

Yu Xunhuan nodded solemnly. "I understand." Holding Yu Xunge's hand, he said sincerely, "Thank you!"

Su Yitong had told him nothing. He did not believe a force as powerful as the Su Family could not gather such information... yet Yu Xunge had specifically come to warn him as soon as she learned of it.

Yu Xunge patted Yu Xunhuan's hand. "Only if our entire family becomes players will you have more confidence in the Su Family! Remember, don't harbor even the slightest luck. It's only one day a month, so don't slack off. And don't get all mushy with me! I'm leaving."

Yu Xunhuan escorted Yu Xunge all the way back to her villa before leaving.
