The Sweet Taste of Revenge

Yu Xunge put away all her equipment, then ate a chocolate puff she had cooked herself. It was a simple F-rank dish. She noticed that ever since she got the God of Gluttony talent, there was a score after the food's rating. She guessed it was a unique evaluation system belonging to the God of Gluttony.

[Chocolate Puff] (F-rank | 64 points): Restores a total of 30 HP within 5 seconds. If you spend 10 seconds savoring it, you will be fully nourished and gain 3 points of Constitution, lasting for 5 minutes.

A very simple, low-level dessert.

But under the God of Gluttony talent, the consumption effect was directly multiplied by three. After eating this puff, her Constitution increased by nine.

Constitution originally: 11 → 4.4.

Now that column showed [Constitution]: 20 → 8.

Although her HP didn't increase, she instantly felt less weak. She then drank a glass of milk that increased mental power.

It was a bit regrettable that it only tripled. It seemed that once the God of Gluttony's buff was triggered, the effect of the God of Cookery's Bib couldn't be triggered again. However, this item served as a good cover.

Two minutes later, Yu Xunge disappeared from the Yu family residence. After a few Phantom Shifts, she returned to her own villa. She didn't rush to contact Yu Xunhuan and the others.

After all, after the closed beta ended, everyone's mobile phones and SIM cards would turn to ashes and disappear, leading to a period of disconnection.

Yu Xunge locked her room door and slept soundly.

She slept until the cooldown for her Disguise Skill ended again. She disguised herself as an elderly person, then used Phantom Shift to get to the airport restroom. After finding the flight to Xinjiang, she went to the restroom for a moment.

After using Phantom Body Curse to become invisible, she entered the pet oxygen cabin of that plane. She walked to the very back and used Animagus to transform into a small kitten, finding a gap to hide. Finally able to rest, the first thing she did was bind the Soros Pocket Watch with a binding stone! Only then did she lie down with peace of mind.

The plane made a stopover midway.

It took off at 17:45 and arrived in Jiang City at 9 AM the next day.

After landing, she returned to her hotel, then exited through the hotel's main entrance to buy a replacement SIM card at a nearby business hall.

After buying a new phone and turning it on, the first thing she did was ask in the group chat if Yu Xunhuan had succeeded yesterday.

Yu Xunhuan had not logged in yet.

Only Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo were in the group chat.

After they exchanged a few words, Yu Xunge directly made a video call to them, asking if they had played yesterday.

Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo were beaming, nodding repeatedly. On the call, they kept expressing their concern for Yu Xunge, praising her thoughtfulness and for thinking of her parents.

Yu Xunge felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. How well had she treated them in her previous life? Did she receive a single kind word? No!

She admitted that she couldn't give her all to others, not even her own parents or siblings. But whenever she got something good, she always thought of them! She gave them everything she could!

Equipment that could be sold for money and resources was given to them because they said they needed it.

Pets that could increase combat power were given to them because they said they were afraid to go out and fight, fearing they would have no protection.

High-level mission items, which were unavailable on the market, were obtained with their help in knocking her out because Su Yitong wanted them.

They even advised her to marry her Uncle Liang Yuchuan, knowing full well that his God-Bestowed Talent was to absorb the attributes of his bed partners.

Yu Xunge wiped her reddened eyes and smiled at the people on the screen, saying, "Good, it's good that you're doing well."

Seeing their daughter moved by their sweet words, Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo hung up the phone with satisfaction.

As long as they were satisfied, Yu Xunge sniffled and smiled, then began to devour the lamb in front of her. She felt it was the most delicious meal she had eaten since her rebirth.

Where was Yu Xunhuan? After throwing a tantrum and smashing things last night, he had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

No matter how powerful the God of Thieves' passive ability was, it couldn't overcome the fact that its owner was constantly thinking about it.

Almost the moment the closed beta ended, Yu Xunhuan began to continuously try to summon his God-Bestowed Talent.

Then he summoned it.

Oh my god, only one of the five shining skills was left! The first four, the most important ones, were all grayed out!

What was the most painful thing? It was getting something and losing it immediately without even enjoying it!!

SS-rank!!!

Now there was nothing left!

Yu Xunhuan immediately lost control and smashed everything he could in the secret room.

Jewelry! — Smashed!

Antiques! — Broken!

Calligraphy and paintings! — Torn!

Gold bars! Thrown on the ground and stomped on!

He had never been so devastated in his life! He knew he was like a madman at that moment, but he didn't care. He only felt that he was not far from going insane.

Even if he had initially drawn an A-rank, or even just a B-rank, he wouldn't have fallen into such a frenzy…

After smashing the items in the treasure room, he still came out and smashed everything he could in the study and living room.

Finally, exhausted from smashing, Yu Xunhuan lay down in despair, then fell asleep in despair.

After taking Yu Xunge's call, Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo went searching for their son everywhere. They found him at the Yu family residence. Upon opening the door, they saw the scene: a mess everywhere, and their son sleeping on the floor.

Yi Qiuguo woke her son up and asked him what happened, but he wouldn't say anything.

And Yu Qingshan? He followed the trail of destruction upwards, reaching the study, and saw the antiques and paintings shattered all over the floor in their treasure room.

She passed out with a yelp.

Yu Xunge was changing hotels when Yi Qiuguo called. Before her weakened state ended, she wanted to stay in a hotel across from the police station.

Upon hearing that both the old and young elders of her family were hospitalized, Yu Xunge anxiously asked, "Is it serious?" Please don't be alright!

Yi Qiuguo replied, "Your dad just fainted. Do you still have that medicine you made?" Honestly, seeing the antique fragments on the floor made her want to faint too.

Do you think that's ginseng... Yu Xunge said, "Yes, I've learned how to make it. Ask Xunhuan if he still has any and have him use it first. Our family won't be short of this medicine from now on."

Since Yu Xunhuan had also learned Alchemy, her offering to help would earn her some favor.

Ever since she stole Yu Xunhuan's God-Bestowed Talent, the immense hatred in her heart had lessened by a little over half. She could now treat revenge as a game.

Of course, her real-life [God of Thieves' "Thief" can also be "Robber"] would always be reserved for Yu Xunhuan, preventing him from making a comeback, until his death!

After a few more words, Yu Xunge hung up the phone.

Then, she holed up in the hotel and didn't come out.

She even opened the curtains and windows, ensuring that the police officers across the street could hear her if she shouted.

She sat by the hotel window, reading the [Hechipa's Alchemy Notes]. She ordered takeout for all her meals, but in reality, she didn't eat it. She only ate the food from her own bag. Sometimes, she felt as if she had returned to her past life when she was on the run.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the 12th, when her severe weakness state completely ended and her life force, mana, and all other stats returned to normal, that Yu Xunge left the hotel. She no longer needed to drive back. She directly paid someone to drive her car back to S City, while she herself took a plane home.
