As for why Yu Xunge knew this so clearly, it was because that outfit had changed hands several times before ending up in her possession two years later in an extremely dramatic fashion.
When she had first gone on the run and been hunted down for the first time, she killed one of her pursuers. While searching his gear, she found this outfit and also discovered the name she had once left behind inside the back collar.
It had been her first time filming. Even though the outfit had nothing particularly special about it and could at most be called good quality—after all, the female lead had to wear it for months—even though she had not been some huge star, she had still been full of hopes for the future and embroidered her name onto the back collar of the black garment with black thread...
Originally, she had not planned to look for that outfit in this life. After all, she had not been canceled but had left the entertainment industry with dignity. That fan could not have been so heartbroken as to stop being a fan and sell the outfit, right? Leaving the industry outright had already been cold enough. Surely she would not go snatching an opportunity from one of her own fans.
But unexpectedly, on one of the rare occasions when she was browsing her phone, the algorithm just happened to recommend that person's video selling the outfit. There were only a few pictures. The first showed her eating in a restaurant after training, while the later ones showed the outfit. The fan said she had recently run out of living expenses and wanted to sell the role she had bought at auction for twenty thousand yuan. It had been Yu Xunge's costume when she played XX.
Yu Xunge immediately sent her a private message from her main account, saying that although she had left the industry, she missed the old days terribly, blah blah blah. After playing the emotional card, she played the money card: she was willing to pay fifty thousand for the costume.
Whether out of guilt or embarrassment that the celebrity herself had caught her no longer being a fan, the fan actually changed her mind and said she would not sell it.
Yu Xunge added another money card. "One hundred thousand."
"I'm sorry, sis. I only wanted to sell it because I'm desperately short of money. It's not because I don't like you anymore."
"One hundred and fifty thousand, babe. I really miss it."
Whether it was the power of money or that "babe," the other party accepted the offer.
Early that morning, Yu Xunge personally drove over and brought the outfit home!
After washing and disinfecting it, she hung it in her walk-in closet. It was an all-black, modified hanfu that was not overly elaborate: a black outer robe with a wide belt. The actor could wear their own clothes underneath, then simply throw on the robe and tie the belt to transform and start filming.
Little Blue Outfit, wow!
Little Blue Outfit that had followed her through an entire year on the run, wow!
After all that circling around, it was still you.
She had considered finding a skilled tailor to embroider some subtle patterns onto it. Maybe when it transformed, it might be a rank higher? But after thinking it over, she gave up. Better to play it safe. What if that tiny alteration prevented the outfit from transforming at all?
Ever since Yu Xunge started making money again, earning a million per job, her family had grown jealous again.
Happy Autumn Fruit asked her to give him some spending money, and Depressed Green Mountain asked her for some too.
Yu Xunge tagged Yu Xunhuan.
Yu Xunge: @Yu Xunhuan All my money comes from your wife. Can't your God Bestowed Skill make money?
That one sentence nearly depressed Yu Xunhuan all over again.
His God-Bestowed Talent... forget it. Better not mention it.
Yu Xunge: I still have important uses for my money. I'm planning to buy some weapons. @Happy Autumn Fruit @Depressed Green Mountain Want any?
Happy Autumn Fruit: That bed... really can't be bought?
Depressed Green Mountain: What exactly do you mean?
Happy Autumn Fruit: I was just asking.
Depressed Green Mountain: @Yu Xunge Are there any game weapons?
Yu Xunge: No. I've never even seen any. Who would sell something like that? @Yu Xunhuan Have you seen any at the Su Family?
Yu Xunhuan: I have, but they're not for me.
The topic instantly veered toward the game.
A few days later, Yu Xunhuan said in the group chat that Su Yitong was away on a business trip and that he was going back to his parents' home for a few days.
Yu Xunhuan: @Yu Xunge Come to my place for dinner tonight.
Heh heh, Little Silver Coin was here again, huh?! Was this really just dinner?
Yu Xunge immediately exited the chat app and booked a flight to Thailand!
Not long after Yu Xunhuan sent that message, Yu Xunge sent her location at the airport.
Yu Xunge: [Location Information]
Yu Xunge: You said it too late. I've already planned to go to Thailand and see if there are any interesting things there. We'll talk when I get back. I'll bring you all gifts~
Then she turned off her phone.
Yu Xunhuan stood in the kitchen with a grim expression. He did not want this either, but he truly could not think of any way to break the deadlock.
After the third closed beta, Su Yitong had asked him whether he had become a player. How could he say he was not? The difference between being a player and not being one was enormous. He feared Su Yitong would look down on him even more. And after he said he had indeed participated in the game's closed beta, Su Yitong's next question was what God-Bestowed Talent he had drawn.
In truth, ever since everyone learned that each person had a God-Bestowed Talent, people generally did not ask what another person's talent was unless they needed it for cooperation or employment, or unless the other party voluntarily disclosed it.
This was a rule that even people with the lowest emotional intelligence automatically understood and followed.
Even when Yu Xunge had voluntarily told Yu Xunhuan and the others about her God-Bestowed Talent, Yu Xunhuan had been too embarrassed to ask whether her talent had any other abilities besides changing other people's Luck Value.
Asking once could be intimacy, but asking further made it feel like prying into someone else's privacy and trump cards.
But Su Yitong had no such concerns. She would not ask her friends about their God-Bestowed Talents, but Yu Xunhuan was her husband, her possession. Of course she had the right to know.
Just as the Su Family asked each of its employees about their God-Bestowed Talents after they participated in the closed beta—naturally and with complete confidence.
Yu Xunhuan naturally understood what that implied.
He would bet that even if Su Yitong looked down on the Yu Family as in-laws, she would not ask Yu Xunge about her God-Bestowed Talent. But she could ask him directly because, in Su Yitong's eyes, she had the right to control everything about him.
At the time, Yu Xunhuan showed not the slightest displeasure. Instead, he gave a bitter smile and said he had drawn a very good talent, but it had been sealed.
Then, under Su Yitong's questioning, Yu Xunhuan said he had drawn an SS-rank God-Bestowed Talent. However, after leaving the game, several of its skills had turned gray. He glossed over the details and mentioned a few skills that could no longer be used. Su Yitong did not say whether she believed him, but her expression clearly grew more serious.
Even under the pressure of possibly displeasing Su Yitong, Yu Xunhuan did not reveal the effect of the one talent skill he could still use. Instead, he quickly changed the subject and mentioned the professional skills he had learned, saying that he would make jewelry, accessories, and potions for Su Yitong in the future. Finally, he brought up Yu Xunge's talent skills.
So if not for him, how would Yu Xunge have had the chance to make so much money?!
What a pity. She had run away so fast...
