Yu Xunge even took the time to visit the Yu family villa, placing the latex mattress she bought for Yi Qiuguo in the living room. She then declined Yi Qiuguo's invitation to stay for dinner and headed straight for the gold shop.
Before, when Yu Xunhuan wasn't a Player, she could naturally eat at the Yu family's place. But now that Yu Xunhuan had... well... a fifth of the God of Cooking Talent, she didn't want to eat a single grain of rice from the Yu family.
From that day on, if anyone came to Yu Xunge asking to use the [Fate Gear], she would only accept gold. A million yuan, converted to gold at the current price, would be about three catties and eight taels. She directly rounded it down and asked for four catties of gold.
Su Yitong: "..." This was the first time she'd heard of such rounding. Moreover, she felt a little nauseous just hearing the word "gold" now.
However, rich people weren't lacking in this small amount of money.
After modifying luck, many people were initially a bit worried. Was this like borrowing future luck in advance? They were lucky now, but would they be unlucky later? In fact, many people were observing, but as time passed, they realized there was no impact. Even if luck improved, it only meant that within a certain range, their wishes would come true; it wouldn't allow them to achieve their goals without any effort.
The effect was probably like the wind turning from a headwind to a tailwind when a person is striving to reach the heavens.
For example, the short-haired youth who won the lottery. The first time he scratched off a million yuan that day, he immediately bought ten more tickets and never won again.
Yu Xunge's God Bestowed Skill wasn't just not selling; more people were coming to buy it. People didn't need it every day. It was simply for when they encountered major events, wanting a sense of peace and smoothness, and to experience the feeling of everything going smoothly as if divinely aided. Wasn't this much more useful than a money tree or feng shui ornaments?!
During this time, Yu Xunhuan, Yu Qingshan, and Yi Qiuguo tried to use connections to get her to give them a [So Happy Now] as well, so they could experience the happiness of Luck 10.
Yu Xunge readily agreed to these small matters.
There were only 24 hours in a day, and this skill had a cooldown of 6 hours after each use. Most of those influential people—except for those who needed to give birth in the middle of the night—wanted luck in the daytime. Even though people liked to discuss business over meals, they needed her blessing at the latest before dinner.
She usually only took two orders a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. This way, she could earn gold without affecting her classes. Clients would pick her up and drop her off. After using the Fate Gear, she could directly have the driver take her to her class.
The eerie hours late at night could be left for the Yu family.
Yu Xunhuan couldn't rush over at night. As a brother who doted on his sister, he couldn't bring himself to make the audacious request for his sister to come over at night to use a skill for him before going back.
But Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo, who lived in the same villa district, could!
For the first half of December, these two tirelessly walked to Yu Xunge's villa every day, asking her to use the skill on one of them.
With a wave of her hand, Yu Xunge didn't worry that just a few hours would allow them to defy fate.
Yi Qiuguo even said that Yu Xunge was no longer close to them, not even recording their fingerprints at the villa.
Yu Xunge replied that she had retired from the entertainment industry and could now date. She might bring boys home in the future, and she was afraid it would be inconvenient.
Yi Qiuguo chuckled, with a look of understanding, and stopped asking. The next second, she nudged Yu Qingshan with her elbow: "Should we go back and stay at the Zijing Road residence for a while? You always say you're afraid the children will disturb you, right?"
Yu Xunge: Is this an excuse I'm allowed to hear?
Yu Xunge frowned and escorted them to the outside of the villa courtyard, pretending not to see Yu Qingshan's pained expression.
The young master wouldn't do, and the old master wouldn't either.
Tsk.
Through day after day of training, Yu Xunge not only learned how to exert force more efficiently but also corrected many bad habits in close-quarters combat with the help of her coach.
Her Strength attribute was now 10. Previously, even with all her might, she could only exert 60-70% of her strength. But now that she had learned force-exertion techniques, she could at least exert 90% of her strength.
Although her primary focus was long-range combat, close-quarters combat skills were also very important. She couldn't be useless once someone got close. She had also learned many moves, such as horizontal elbow, jumping elbow, covering elbow, heart-piercing elbow, elbow strike, elbow flip, and butterfly elbow...
Yu Xunge felt that she was now terrifyingly strong!
She had learned the knowledge, and the rest required long-term practice. So, she found another teacher and began learning how to use daggers.
Similarly, she had learned all the knowledge related to bows and arrows; the rest depended on day-to-day practice and comprehension. Yu Xunge then started learning crossbow and firearm shooting techniques. The incident in Thailand had brought her floating heart back down to earth.
She had already stockpiled many weapons. Instead of gambling on those ethereal, less than one-in-ten-thousand odds of mutations, it was better to study diligently.
That's what she said, but everyone has an element of gambling.
Every day after class and dinner, Yu Xunge would take a detour to the antique street. She would buy anything broken, bringing a pile of junk home. Once, when she let Yi Qiuguo into the house to help her tidy up, Yi Qiuguo saw the pile of junk that even Yu Xunge was too lazy to put into her Game Inventory and said that when she got old, she would definitely be tricked into buying health supplements.
The male protagonist was a bust, the third female lead was toxic, she gambled.
Everyone had a bright future.
But there was one person who seemed close to shattering.
One day, Yu Xunge received a call from Yu Xunhuan, asking if she had time that evening to modify the luck value for a friend of his. He would pay, five catties of gold per session.
What could be wrong with that? It was a risk-free business, and she was getting paid by Yu Xunhuan, so of course, she agreed.
However, she took precautions. Worried that Yu Xunhuan might invite her to dinner, she spoke first: "Let's keep things separate. It's impossible to use this skill for your friend without charging, but I'll treat you tonight, and we'll open a good bottle of wine."
A restaurant where the average cost was over 10,000 yuan, plus a bottle of wine worth over 200,000 yuan, added up to only one catty of gold.
Yu Xunge smoothed her hair in the rearview mirror and nodded at her reflection: You're really generous!!
Then, she turned the steering wheel and drove to the Yu family villa, picking up Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo as well. Although she didn't know who Yu Xunhuan's friend was, she could guess with her toes that it was probably one of his brothers. She didn't want to have dinner with them alone.
This foolish brother was like he was bringing a girlfriend to meet his parents. Every time he made friends, he liked to bring that friend home for dinner and then point to her and Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo, saying: "I brought you to meet my family."
In reality, Yu Xunhuan brought at least two different brothers home for dinner each semester, and they were all rich and handsome.
Yu Xunge always thought he either had a problem with his brain or was bragging.
Later, she realized that this was called wisdom!
Because those brothers and friends were all moved to tears and gave Yu Xunhuan a lot of help.
Yu Xunge found it hard to describe Yu Xunhuan. His many benefactors might not be solely due to luck.
