Immortality

[Immortality] (SS-rank)

You, Death Incarnate

[Skill 1] Just You Wait, I'm Going Home: When you die, your corpse will randomly appear in an underground coffin and revive after 7 natural days. This skill can only be used once every 365 natural days.

[Skill 2] Only the Dead Obey: You can control beings that die by your hand. The duration of control and the number of beings controlled are determined by your mana.

[Skill 3] Death Mimicry: Designate a target that died by your hand and mimic its God-Bestowed Talent. You can only designate one target at a time. Switching targets will cause the previously mimicked God-Bestowed Talent to disappear.

[Skill 4] I'm Not Crazy, I'm Gloomy: When using any dark-sided skills or items, the skill effects gain a 50% bonus.

[Skill 5] Return of the Dead: When you are on the battlefield, using this skill can revive all fallen allies of your race, allowing them to fight for you again. The cooldown is 90 natural days.

This talent was practically born for the battlefield.

Especially Skill 5, it was no wonder that Undead could become a city lord, and no wonder this God-Bestowed Talent was rated SS-rank.

What a shame, both Skill 4 and Skill 5 were in a deep gray state, clearly not successfully stolen.

But she was already satisfied, especially with Skill 1. As long as she was alive, she had opportunities. Even with a cooldown of a full year, this skill was the most satisfying one among all her skills.

Her life was truly too resilient now.

Yu Xunge's mind flashed with the names of one enemy after another.

The potions, weapons, and gold in her backpack were all still there. She had even managed to exploit a bug to obtain the Undead racial talent. If she still managed to lose with such a start, she could only say she deserved it.

A knock on the door from the next room was followed by exclamations.

After quickly taking a shower, Yu Xunge left her room. Feigning ignorance of Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo's shocked and flustered expressions, she clutched her forehead and said, "I landed a new endorsement yesterday, and I was so happy I came back to have a drink with my brother. I'm off to get busy. You two can make him some hangover soup."

Without waiting for their reply, she left.

Before leaving, she casually tried to "steal" from the two of them. She found that she couldn't use her skills and recalled the line in the skill description: "Cannot attack beings whose life level is lower than your own. The God of Thieves never bullies the weak." She guessed it was because they weren't players, and their life level was lower than hers, so she couldn't steal? Then what about players with a lower level than her in the future? Would she still be unable to steal?

After figuring this out and exiting the door, she realized her phone was gone.

So, she put on a mask, took her ID, and went to get a replacement SIM card. Fortunately, although she was in the entertainment industry, she was only a minor celebrity. Being recognized on the street would only result in a few photos, not a mob.

Shortly after getting a new phone and inserting the new SIM card, Liu Zhengliu's call came.

Pretending not to hear the anger in the other person's voice, she directly requested three days of leave.

Liu Zhengliu was rendered speechless by her audacity: "Are you tired of working in this industry?!"

Yu Xunge sighed, "Give me three days. I'm really a bit tired. Can we have a drink together in three days?"

The last sentence shut Liu Zhengliu up. Thinking that she should be able to give Manager Liu an explanation in three days, she suppressed her anger and said, "Then get some good rest. Don't keep anything bottled up if something's wrong."

Yu Xunge gave a few hums and hung up, then drove out of the city.

She was discovered by a scout and brought into the entertainment industry during her sophomore year. Now 26, she was only moderately famous, but the industry paid quickly. She didn't have any particularly extravagant hobbies. Even after giving her parents and brother over seventy million yuan in installments, she still had over eighty million in her account.

She wouldn't lack money even if she stopped working. These funds would rapidly depreciate after the game invasion. As time went on, more and more monsters descended upon the world, and more and more dungeons appeared. Players began trading items and weapons and armor using in-game currency. In just half a year, real-world currency was replaced by gold, silver, and copper coins.

She knew that Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo were eyeing that eighty million. In her previous life, on this very day, she had almost been sent to a bald boss's bed by Liu Zhengliu, yet she still endured the disgust to help Yu Xunhuan look at a villa. Later, the villa she bought for Yu Xunhuan had a dungeon entrance appear in its basement...

If real estate was a symbol of wealth now, then after the game invasion, owning a dungeon entrance unknown to others would be like possessing a treasure mountain.

Dungeons were essentially spacetime gates sent by the alien vanguard. Owning a dungeon entrance that only you knew about was equivalent to having access to all the resources dropped by the aliens within that dungeon. What else could that be but a treasure mountain?

Yu Xunge's only goal today was to buy the villa she had given to Yu Xunhuan in her previous life and register it under her own name.

She even skipped the viewing process and finalized the house purchase before dinner.

Without even eating dinner, she went straight to the flower and bird market to buy a Hwamei bird. Then, carrying the bird, she went to a nearby restaurant to pack some dishes and returned to the small villa that Yu Xunge had bought for herself with her own earnings.

As she entered, she deleted the fingerprints and facial recognition data of Yu Qingshan, Yi Qiuguo, and Yu Xunhuan that were stored at the main entrance.

After sitting down, she opened the takeout food containers while twisting the neck of the Hwamei bird.

Then, she activated the skill [Only the Dead Obey]. Almost instantly, she felt a connection established between herself and the dead Hwamei bird. With a thought, the Hwamei bird, with its head lolling to the side, flew up, its head also righting itself in a strange manner, as if an invisible hand had propped it up.

And by closing her eyes and concentrating, she could "see" everything through the Hwamei bird's eyes: a spacious living room, and a woman sitting cross-legged in front of the sofa.

She watched the time and directed the Hwamei bird to fly in circles around the room.

After eating, she tidied up the room. She hadn't lived in this villa yet because she wanted to live with her so-called family, so she always returned to that house during holidays.

She then took the Hwamei bird and drove out to buy clothes and toiletries. During this time, she kept controlling the Hwamei bird to fly above her car. Before going to sleep that night, she also gave the Hwamei bird a command: keep flying, do not stop.

The next morning at 7 AM, she checked her mana. She had 20 points left.

Controlling a Hwamei bird's corpse to fly continuously for 12 hours only required 80 mana. So, what about controlling an adult human?

That day, Yu Xunge brushed off Yi Qiuguo's remark about how she already had a house but her brother still needed one. She organized her inventory. She bought three identical large storage boxes, divided the firearms, ammunition, and explosives into them, and stacked them in a game grid.

If she needed them, she could take out the storage boxes and search through them at any time.

She kept one loaded firearm in another grid.

She didn't plan to store the healing potions and mana potions this way. Items that required instant access, where even an extra second could mean losing her life, had to be kept outside. Filling one grid with them made her feel secure.

She ordered a medicinal herb cabinet from a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy. After paying extra, it was delivered the same day. She labeled each herb drawer with its name and put the herbs inside. She also placed the excess healing and mana potions in the bottom row of cabinets.

Thus, out of her 30 game inventory slots, she had only used 5: Minor Healing Potion x99, Minor Mana Potion x99, Minor Invisibility Potion x3, Junk Hunting Rifle x1, Storage Box x3.
