Yu Xunge figured she couldn't push them too far, so she finally spoke up.
Yu Xunge: Just tell me whether that bed is comfortable or not?!
Yu Xunhuan: It's okay.
Yu Xunge: See?! Good things and good news aren't that easy to find.
Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo both asked what bed they were talking about.
Yu Xunge posted the bed's information in the group chat and said it was a wedding gift from her.
Happy Autumn Fruit: Are there any more? Mom wants one too, and your dad needs one.
Depressed Green Mountain: ???
Yu Xunge: Do you think they're cabbages? They're crazy expensive, okay?! Dozens of gold coins! Just look at how much one gold coin can be exchanged for outside right now, and you'll know what this bed is worth.
Yu Qingshan had gathered quite a bit of information lately. Silver coins were already selling for ten thousand each, while gold coins had been driven up to absurd prices.
Depressed Green Mountain: I heard it takes a million to exchange for one gold coin, but I haven't heard of anyone actually making that exchange.
Happy Autumn Fruit: A bed worth tens of millions?! Good heavens! That could buy a house! You're stingy when you should be generous, but when you shouldn't be throwing money around, you're so willing to spend!
Yu Xunhuan: @Yu Xunge Thanks, Sis~ If you find anything similar, buy it for me first. I'll transfer you the money later.
Yu Xunge: @Happy Autumn Fruit Isn't this far more important than a house for a rich lady? Those who get it, get it.
Yi Qiuguo fell silent. Even if she said anything, Yu Xunge had nowhere to get her another bed of the same kind.
If only she had stockpiled a few more of those beds back then!
Once the Game Invasion began and the Auction House function opened, wouldn't she make a fortune reselling those beds?
After putting down her phone, Yu Xunge sat in a daze for a while. For a few seconds, she actually felt happiness. Sometimes, she even wondered whether her previous life had been a dream.
If she hadn't endured the agony of being nailed to the ground and bled dry as she waited for Yu Xunhuan in her previous life, if that book hadn't appeared in her mind as she lay dying, then even if she had been reborn, she would have believed them.
What an ordinary, happy family. Her mother was impatient but easily satisfied, sometimes so innocent that it was almost adorable. Her father was gentle and good-natured, treating his son and daughter equally. They gave all their savings to their daughter, and after she began earning money, she gave back to the family—money for her parents, money for her younger brother. Then her younger brother saved up his share and bought her a villa.
After the world changed drastically, her younger brother would even bring her, his older sister, along to join wealthy families' teams and clear dungeons... Even when his wife's family hunted her down, he risked himself to secretly warn her.
In her previous life, she had been fooled by that false sense of happiness, which was why she had kept wronging herself...
Yu Xunge stared at the chat window for a long time before coming back to herself. Then she suddenly realized that she had actually chatted so calmly with that bunch of things for so long. Sure enough, revenge made people gentler. Right after being reborn, no matter how much she told herself to endure, she couldn't genuinely improve her attitude.
After putting her phone into her Game Inventory, Yu Xunge went back outside to continue practicing her shooting.
She was currently wearing a sports bra and a fitted tank top on top, with long pants below. In her pocket was a shabby little four-slot bag containing two tubes of Minor Healing Potion, a roll of First Aid Bandage that continuously restored health after use, and her phone.
Her two thirty-six-slot bags, Potion Bag, and other items were all stored inside Magician's Denture.
As for the most important bound Soros Pocket Watch, she openly wore it around her neck, tucked beneath her tight clothing to keep it secure.
Once bound, it could neither be lost nor stolen. That meant anyone who touched the pocket watch could only feel empty air, except for its owner.
From the outside, others merely assumed she was wearing a silver necklace. Even if someone accidentally touched her chest, they would not feel anything there.
Just as she was about to move, she suddenly paused. Her coach looked at her curiously, and Yu Xunge smiled, saying that she had just thought of something.
For a moment just now, she had sensed someone trying to divine information about her. However, the Soros Pocket Watch had blocked it. Through the mist in her mind, it felt as though she had crossed a galaxy of time and space and seen the person attempting to divine her—a young man with a buzz cut.
After class, Yu Xunge went to a nearby restaurant to eat.
Whether it was because her Charm had reached its maximum or because she had experienced too much, her aura was far more captivating than before.
The inscrutability of the Thief God, the coldness of Undead Immortality, the flamboyance and sharp edge of a Sharpshooter, the warmth and approachability of the God of Food, along with her own restraint and madness.
All those different qualities blended together, paired with her already exquisite, outstanding face and her gentle, intelligent appearance. These days, as long as Yu Xunge showed her face outside, passersby would unconsciously follow her with their eyes.
In truth, she had noticed this feeling long ago. Even at Su Yitong's wedding banquet, despite deliberately keeping a low profile, people would occasionally sneak glances at her. However, everyone present that day was either rich or influential and considered themselves above her in status, so they could not bring themselves to approach her at a wedding. After the wedding, though, Yu Xunge had "disappeared." She was either in class or at home cooking. She never answered unfamiliar calls and ignored friend requests from strangers.
Sometimes, she could even sense people secretly taking photos of her while she ate.
That was simply unavoidable in this era.
Moreover, since she had left the entertainment industry and no longer had any rivals, whenever news about her appeared online, people gave genuine passerby opinions this time. Most of them were positive, so she would occasionally become mildly popular again. But Yu Xunge neither responded nor hyped herself up. Her life consisted of practicing combat, practicing shooting, and eating. Slowly, the buzz faded away again.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhengliu came looking for her instead, wanting to work with her again and return to the entertainment industry together.
Yu Xunge had nearly forgotten about that bitch. She first investigated and confirmed that Liu Zhengliu was not a player, then immediately kicked her out. While she was at it, she gave her a Fate Gear and changed her Luck Value to 1.
Liu Hongsheng's case was still being investigated, with the authorities looking into people who had conflicts with him. Even after the matter of the game came to light and Liu Zhengliu was completely cleared of suspicion, no one turned their attention toward Yu Xunge. First, Liu Hongsheng had not yet made a move against Yu Xunge at the time, so the two had no conflict. Second, Liu Zhengliu was still alive and well. Although she had been used as a weapon, everyone assumed the murderer had simply dragged her in as a random scapegoat.
But if Liu Zhengliu died too, that might be another matter.
Yu Xunge did not hire a teacher to teach her cooking. She had never loved cooking that much before, and it was already unusual enough that she cooked for herself from time to time because of the game's cooking skill. If she deliberately studied it hard as well, she feared it would agitate Yu Xunhuan's sensitive nerves. She also did not want to spend so long cautiously hiding, only to expose herself over this issue.
Besides, the cooking videos that came with the cooking skill were extremely detailed, and many of their methods differed from real-world cooking techniques. There was absolutely no need to find a teacher.
Recently, more and more cats had been coming to the backyard of her villa to mooch meals and shelter. Fortunately, it was autumn and winter now, so the cats were not particularly restless. Her villa was also in a relatively secluded location, and no one had noticed.
