Immortal

Immortal (SS-rank)

You, That Is Death

**Skill 1: You Wait Here, I'm Going Home**: When you died, your corpse would randomly appear in an underground coffin. You would revive after 7 natural days. This could activate once every 365 natural days.

**Skill 2: Only the Dead Obey**: You could control living beings that died by your hand. The duration of control and number of creatures controlled depended on Mana.

**Skill 3: Death Mimicry**: Designate a target that died by your hand and mimic their God-Bestowed Talent. Only one target could be designated at a time. Once you switched targets, the previously mimicked God-Bestowed Talent would disappear.

**Skill 4: I'm Not a Lunatic, I'm Just Dark-Minded**: When using all dark-side skills or items, skill effects were increased by 50%.

**Skill 5: Return of the Dead**: When on a battlefield, you could use this skill to revive all deceased members of your race and have them continue fighting for you. Cooldown: 90 natural days.

This was practically a talent born for the battlefield.

Especially Skill 5. No wonder that undead creature could become the lord of a city. No wonder this God-Bestowed Talent had been rated SS-rank.

Unfortunately, Skills 4 and 5 were both grayed out. Clearly, she had failed to steal them.

But she was already satisfied. Skill 1 in particular—only the living had a chance. Even with a cooldown as long as a year, it was still the skill that pleased her most out of all of them.

Her life was becoming far too hard to kill.

One enemy's name after another flashed through Yu Xunge's mind.

The potions, weapons, and gold coins in her inventory were all still there. She had even exploited a bug to obtain the undead race's talent. If she could still lose with a start like this, then she would have no one to blame but herself.

Knocking came from the room next door, followed immediately by startled cries.

After quickly taking a shower, Yu Xunge left her room. As if she had not seen the shocked, flustered expressions on Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo's faces, she held her forehead and said, "I landed a new endorsement deal yesterday. I was so happy that I came home and had a drink with my brother. I have to get busy now. Make him some hangover soup."

She left without waiting for either of them to reply.

Before leaving, she casually tried to steal from them both. When she found that she could not use the skill, she recalled the line in the description: "Cannot act against living beings whose life level is below your own. The Thief God never bullies the weak." Was it because they were not players, and their life levels were below hers, so she could not steal from them? Then what about players lower level than her in the future? Would she be unable to steal from them too?

Only after thinking it over and stepping outside did she realize that her phone was gone.

So she put on a mask and used her ID to get a replacement SIM card. Fortunately, although she was in the entertainment industry, she was only a minor third-tier celebrity. Even if people recognized her on the street, they would merely take a few photos rather than gather around her.

Not long after she bought a new phone and inserted the replacement SIM card, Liu Zhengliu called.

Pretending not to hear the anger in the other woman's voice, she directly asked for three days off.

Liu Zhengliu was so taken aback by her righteous tone that she stumbled over her words. "You don't want to keep working in this industry anymore?!"

Yu Xunge sighed. "Give me three days. I'm really a little tired. How about we have a drink together in three days?"

Her final sentence stopped Liu Zhengliu cold. Thinking that she should be able to give President Liu an explanation in three days, she suppressed her anger and said, "Then get some proper rest. Don't bottle things up if something happens."

Yu Xunge gave a few vague hums before hanging up and driving out of the city.

She had been discovered by a talent scout and brought into the entertainment industry during her sophomore year of college. She was twenty-six now. Though only modestly popular, this industry made money quickly, and she had no particularly extravagant hobbies. Even after giving her parents and younger brother more than seventy million yuan over the years, she still had more than eighty million in her account.

She would not lack spending money even if she stopped working. But after the Game Invasion, that money would rapidly depreciate. As time passed, more and more monsters descended into the world, and more and more dungeons appeared. Players used in-game currency to trade items, weapons, and armor. In only half a year, real-world currency would be replaced by gold, silver, and copper coins.

She knew that the eighty million was what Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo had their eyes on. In her previous life, it was on this very day that, despite nearly being sent to a bald CEO's bed by Liu Zhengliu, she had still suppressed her disgust and gone to look at villas for Yu Xunhuan. Later, a Dungeon Entrance had spawned in the basement of the villa she bought for Yu Xunhuan...

If real estate was a symbol of wealth now, then after the Game Invasion, possessing a Dungeon Entrance unknown to outsiders was like owning a mountain of treasure.

Dungeons were spacetime gates for the advance forces sent by other races. Having a Dungeon Entrance known only to yourself basically meant possessing all the resources dropped by the other races inside that dungeon. If that was not a mountain of treasure, then what was?

Yu Xunge had only one task today: buy the villa she had given Yu Xunhuan in her previous life and put it under her own name.

She even skipped the viewing process. Before dinner, Yu Xunge had settled the house.

Without even eating, she rushed to the flower-and-bird market and bought a Blinkered Flowerfinch. Then, carrying the bird and several packed dishes from a nearby restaurant, she returned to the small villa Yu Xunge had bought for herself with her own earnings.

As she entered, she deleted Yu Qingshan, Yi Qiuguo, Yu Xunhuan, and the others' fingerprints and facial recognition data from the front door.

After sitting down, she opened the takeout containers with one hand and snapped the Blinkered Flowerfinch's neck with the other.

Then she activated Only the Dead Obey. Almost instantly, she felt a connection form between herself and the dead Blinkered Flowerfinch. With a thought, the bird, whose head hung crookedly to one side, flew into the air. Its head also straightened in an eerie manner, as though an invisible hand had helped set it right.

When she closed her eyes and focused, she could "see" everything through the Blinkered Flowerfinch's eyes: the enormous living room, and a woman sitting cross-legged in front of the sofa.

She watched the time and directed the Blinkered Flowerfinch to fly circles around the room.

After eating, she briefly tidied the house. She had never lived in this villa before. Because she had wanted to live with her so-called family, she always returned to that home during holidays.

Then she took the Blinkered Flowerfinch out with her to buy clothes and toiletries. Throughout the trip, she controlled it to fly overhead above her car. Before going to sleep that night, she gave it another command: keep flying, and do not stop.

At seven the next morning, she checked her Mana. She still had 20 points left.

Controlling a Blinkered Flowerfinch's corpse to fly continuously for twelve hours only required 80 Mana. What if she controlled an adult instead?

That day, Yu Xunge brushed off Yi Qiuguo's remarks about how she already had a house while her younger brother still lacked one. She sorted through her supplies, bought three large storage boxes of the same model, divided the firearms, ammunition, and explosives among them, and stacked them in one game slot.

Whenever she needed something, she could take out the storage boxes and search through them.

She kept one loaded firearm in another slot.

She did not plan to store the Healing Potions and Mana Potions that way. Things that needed to be taken out at a moment's notice, where even one extra second could cost her life, had to be kept outside. Only when a slot was filled did she feel reassured.

She ordered a Chinese medicine cabinet from a pharmacy. After paying extra, it was delivered that same day. She labeled the outside of each drawer with the herb's name, filled them with herbs, then put the extra Healing Potions and Mana Potions in the bottom row of drawers.

This way, only 5 of her 30 Game Inventory slots were currently in use: Minor Healing Potion x99, Minor Mana Potion x99, Minor Invisibility Potion x3, Junk Hunting Rifle x1, Storage Box x3.
