Yu Xunge didn't dislike the perfectionism brought by the God of Cooking Talent; this talent truly shone when one cooked with utmost seriousness.

However, she wasn't in a rush. Ever since the first closed beta, she had been in a state of extreme anxiety, daring not to relax for a moment, as if a ferocious beast were chasing her. Now that the greatest threat was dealt with, she could afford to slow down a bit. At least... she should get at least six hours of sleep every day!

Lying in bed, the humidifier by the bedside sprayed a fine mist of the advanced Revealing Potion.

Yu Xunge looked at her current stats:

[Strength]: 8+2

[Constitution]: 11+2

[Intelligence]: 14+1

[Agility]: 21

Most people who were healthy and had exercise habits started with stats around 7. Of course, intelligence was influenced by IQ, and fit men could even start with strength and constitution values of 10. Runners or parkour enthusiasts also had agility values far exceeding 7.

But even by those highest standards, Yu Xunge's current stats were comparable to a level 6 player. Yet, she was actually level 0, with only the experience from the dozen or so small quests she did during the first closed beta and the quest with Hechipa, and the experience gained from those was minimal.

The Game Invasion was scheduled for February next year.

Yu Xunge didn't plan to give the higher-ups any hints. Although her plan was already complete and whether she acted as a good person or not wouldn't affect it, there was no need. During the third closed beta, hundreds of thousands of people logged into the game. While most people who received fortuitous encounters would want to lie low, some would always be different.

Some people, after gaining abilities, would want to show off; others would want to accomplish things they couldn't before.

It couldn't be hidden, it simply couldn't be hidden.

These people would be exposed very quickly. In her past life, strange news often occurred at the end of 2078. Even a month or two before the Game Invasion, rumors had already begun to spread.

Moreover, Yu Xunge felt that the official channels had likely already received the information they needed. Among the hundreds of thousands of people, some were likely official personnel. Otherwise, they wouldn't have reacted so quickly in her past life.

She had hoarded what she needed to hoard, grabbed what she needed to grab, and spent what she needed to spend. Yu Xunge planned to systematically learn combat and shooting next. The rest of her time would be dedicated to her major and cooking.

Whether it was close-quarters combat or long-range shooting, she wasn't bad at either. Her close-combat practical skills were honed through countless life-or-death struggles during her final year on the run.

They were all killing techniques. Each move wasn't about style, but about targeting vital points: elbow strikes to the throat, gouging eyes, punching the kidneys, stabbing the heart with an elbow, and so on. It wasn't that she disliked these skills or found them unattractive; she wanted to learn more!

Otherwise, no matter how high her stats were, if she couldn't use them, she wouldn't be able to truly unleash her strength.

Martial arts that could form their own distinct schools must have their advantages. She wanted to learn systematically.

As for long-range shooting, in her past life, shooting involved magic – casting arcane missiles, ice shards, fireballs, and magic orbs. She relied entirely on instinct. Perhaps she truly had a talent for it, and with the [Impersonate] talent allowing her to store three other people's talents, combined with various skills, she managed to evade capture for an entire year.

But now that she had the God-Bestowed Talent of [Sharpshooter], it would be a disservice to not practice shooting well, and a disservice to herself with her high Agility of 21.

Yu Xunge had enough money for classes. She studied combat in the morning, focusing on how to exert force more effectively, which parts of the body could be used as weapons, and how to break free when restrained. In the afternoon, she practiced shooting, learning how to control range, calculate wind direction, and so on.

Unlike her haphazard methods in her past life, Yu Xunge felt she made new progress every day.

Her physical stats were no longer just numbers; she was more agile, more perceptive, and could exert greater strength.

Her shooting coach was amazed by her talent. On her first day, her posture with the bow was far from standard; it was obvious she had learned from online tutorials. In less than a week, she could hit a bullseye consistently at a 30-meter range. If he hadn't known her true age was 26, he would have recommended her for the national team.

It was just a bit strange; after shooting a few arrows, she would always miss one. He wondered if it was because girls lacked the necessary strength.

Yu Xunge wasn't lacking in strength; she didn't want to expose that her seventh strike was guaranteed to be a critical hit. So, every time she reached the seventh arrow, she would deliberately pull the bowstring only a little, letting the arrow fly out weakly.

Yu Xunge knew herself. She could aim if given time, but her hit rate for rapid firing was only 60%. Her hit rate for moving targets was even lower, let alone when she was shooting while running.

But she wasn't discouraged; everything was just beginning.

While Yu Xunge was busy with her training, Yu Qingshan finally recovered and managed to seal away those fragments. He was also optimistic. His son hadn't been defeated despite losing half of his reproductive organ, and his daughter was still helping him find a cure. So, perhaps there was a skill to repair items?! One had to believe in miracles!

From that day on, Yu Qingshan also began to inquire about players everywhere.

Yi Qiuguo, on the other hand, became the happiest person in the family besides Yu Xunge. Her son had married into a wealthy family, and her entire family had encountered fortuitous events. She couldn't think of any reason not to be happy. As for what her grandchildren's surnames would be, she didn't really care. They wouldn't be surnamed Yi anyway, so what difference did it make? She felt she was being perfectly clear-headed.

She was like those wise, insightful women described online.

The only regret was that her daughter wouldn't give her money anymore.

Yu Xunge was speechless. Her son had married into a wealthy family, yet he still came to her, an unemployed person, asking for money!

[Happy Qiuguo]: @Yu Xunge Daughter, Mom has her eye on a new handbag [shy]

Yu Xunge long-pressed the message, clicked "Quote," and then tagged Yu Xunhuan.

[Yu Xunge]: @Yu Xunhuan Brother, Sister has her eye on a new gun [shy]

Click on the live-in son-in-law and have him fork over some gold.

Yu Xunhuan: "..."

Yu Xunhuan was indeed not short of money. That's why the Su family was considered wealthy. Ever since he "married" into the Su family and became a part of it, he received 5 million yuan transferred directly to his account every month as pocket money. His food and lodging were at home, and clothes would be purchased or custom-made for him by a dedicated person. This 5 million was purely for spending.

Living off his wife was truly wonderful!

Moreover, his wedding night had gone smoothly. The bed Yu Xunge had given him was indeed something special. After turning off the lights, they fought until dawn, and he even forgot that he only had half of what he used to have. Su Yitong was also satisfied. Although she couldn't shake the feeling that it wasn't as long as before, she had been satisfied enough that she didn't think too deeply about it.

Thinking of this, Yu Xunhuan generously transferred 500,000 yuan to each of the two women in his family.

Then, he asked them to help him inquire more about God-Bestowed Talents, especially if anyone had obtained a God-Bestowed Talent but couldn't use it.

Both readily agreed. In the group chat, they responded with enthusiastic "Yes, yes, yes, boss, don't worry, I'll handle it."

Their service attitude was as good as Haidilao.

Yu Qingshan also chimed in, transferring money to the two women and asking them to inquire if there were any skills or items for repairing things.

The two women responded with a flood of "Okay, okay, thank you boss, don't worry, it's on us!"

Then, the two women turned around and completely forgot about it.

A week later, Yu Xunhuan and Yu Qingshan asked in the group if there was any news. When they asked, no one responded. The mother and daughter both played dead.

Yu Xunge pointed at herself in the group chat and cursed, "Yu Xunge, oh Yu Xunge, if you say you're not their biological daughter, who is!"
