Let There Be More Love in the World

The cooldown ended.

Yu Xunge immediately logged into her game.

Only 54 minutes remained until the end of the third closed beta.

After logging in, Yu Xunge first disguised herself as a goblin, then returned to the city. After learning all the Silvermoon City specialty dishes at a restaurant there, she teleported to Blood Moon City, where she had been before. She then found a wealthy goblin and, after much persuasion, traded for 10,000 gold. Glancing at the time, she realized she still had enough, so she spent a bit more time trading with several other poor goblins, gradually acquiring another 800 gold.

With this, she had gold obtained from two Elf main cities, plus the 378 gold accumulated from making 3 gold daily from June 7th to October 10th. After deducting costs for teleportation and learning recipes, she still had gold left. She also still had 1084 gold bricks from the Su family.

After paying to learn the specialty recipes from the Blood Moon City restaurant, she returned to the Undead City where she had originally learned Alchemy. She walked into the Alchemy Shop and saw the figure busy behind crucibles and test tubes. She approached and typed "Teacher" into the input box.

The Undead Female Mentor's movements didn't stop, but she suddenly issued Yu Xunge a quest: [Alchemy Master Hechipa wants you to make ten basic potions and ten intermediate potions].

She hadn't specified if ten of the same kind were needed, but Yu Xunge understood she was testing her.

But in this game, everything was just a progress bar... she couldn't tell from that.

After a moment of thought, she submitted twenty different types of potions she had recently made, feeling they were her best work: "Teacher, these are my recent achievements."

On the screen, the Undead Female Mentor stopped shaking the test tube and took Yu Xunge's potions.

A few minutes later, the quest showed as completed.

The quest reward was a book: [Hechipa's Alchemy Notes].

[Hechipa's Alchemy Notes] (A-rank): Hechipa's Alchemy Notes, recording her insights and experiences from advancing from a senior alchemist to a master alchemist. You cannot learn recipes from it, but perhaps you can gain something more precious. (Their alchemy innovations are all for glory, but me? I'm different. I just want to earn more money to buy wine, so my potions are the most special. Potions with my name on them always sell the best. After all this time, they still don't understand that working for passion has no future! — Hechipa)

After silently reading the item description, Yu Xunge took out two thousand gold and handed it to Hechipa: "I might not be able to come back again."

Before she could click send, the two thousand gold had already been taken by Hechipa.

Yu Xunge: "………………"

The next second, Hechipa tossed her a dark green cloth bag.

[Hechipa's Potion Bag (0/8)] (S-rank): There are always so many orders for Hechipa. A small item Hechipa uses to store ordered potions. Maximum stack size is 999.

The biggest surprise wasn't its 999 stack size for similar items, but that it was an item-type, not taking up bag space!

Immediately after, a pop-up appeared: [Bind?]

Yu Xunge was ecstatic and immediately clicked yes!

This time she learned her lesson. She first typed, "Teacher, this is just for you to buy wine. You don't need to give me anything else. I really like Alchemy." After sending it, she generously took out another thousand gold for Hechipa.

Seeing that Hechipa really didn't give her anything else, Yu Xunge smiled and turned to leave. She still had to rush to the auction house.

In a few days, it would be Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan's wedding. Family was different from guests. At an engagement, one could give a monetary gift, but for a wedding, it was best to give a present.

Moreover, Su Yitong had given her twenty million in one go last time, so she couldn't appear stingy.

She didn't feel any sense of injustice about it either. Thinking about how she had scammed so many attribute points from Su Yitong, as well as an A-rank item and an ear, yet Su Yitong didn't even know who her enemy was and even gave her money. Then, considering Yu Xunhuan's God-Bestowed Talent was basically 80% crippled, any sense of injustice she might have felt vanished.

Giving gifts in reality was difficult to "impress" Su Yitong, but she was unwilling to give away truly valuable in-game items.

But she thought of a good item.

[Joyful Witch's Bed] (C-rank): Increases intimacy between couples, allowing lovers sleeping in this bed to enjoy extreme pleasure. No one is allowed to say no.

What a great item, completely useless, but it's a C-rank item!

And it was super cheap, only 20 gold.

Bought!

Let there be more love in the world!!!

[Binding Stone] (A-rank): After use, it can bind an equipment/item to your soul. It cannot be lost, cannot be stolen by anyone, not even the God of Thieves himself. When your soul dissipates, it will turn to ash and return to the embrace of the void.

Yu Xunge: Targeting me, are you?!

But others needed it, and she needed it too!

100 gold each, Yu Xunge directly bought 50!

She spent 5000 gold without batting an eye.

Then Yu Xunge started buying cooking recipes. Whatever was in the auction house that she hadn't learned, she bought it all.

Worried about buying duplicates, she learned each one as she bought it.

These were all preparations for her God of Cooking Talent. Even if low-level recipes had little effect, learning many of them would help her create her own recipes in the future.

After finishing with the God of Gluttony, it was time for the Sharpshooter Talent.

[Explosive Arrow] (B-rank): Fires explosive arrows that detonate upon impact, dealing damage to the target and enemies within a 2-meter radius. Each use consumes 100 Mana, with no cooldown.

[Push Shot] (C-rank): The weapon you fire can generate an energy wave that pushes enemies back. Each use consumes 30 Mana, with a 3-minute cooldown.

[Soul Resistance (Passive)] (S-rank): Permanently provides a defense at the soul level, capable of immunizing against Mind Control Skills and reducing damage from mental attacks by 30%.

One area of effect, one knockback, and one immunity to mind control.

Originally, after buying the area of effect and knockback skills, Yu Xunge wanted to buy an attack method, but unexpectedly saw Soul Resistance.

Even though its price was as high as 12,000 gold, even more expensive than Phantom Shift, Yu Xunge bought it without hesitation.

She wanted high-end skills.

Explosive Arrow for 450 gold, Push Shot for 130 gold, plus the 3000 gold given to Mentor Hechipa earlier, the 5000 gold for the Binding Stone, the 20 gold for the bed, and the 485 gold spent on purchasing and learning recipes.

She now only had 23 gold left.

Yu Xunge was extremely satisfied!!!

This was how money should be spent. Yu Xunge passed by the Herb Shop, bought herbs needed for the advanced Revealing Potion with her remaining 23 gold, and then left Undead City.

After that, she logged off, and incidentally, dispelled the shadow in the treasure room.

It was only 17:03 at this time.
