Yu Xunge meditated with her back against the bedroom door until 3 AM. Only then did she hear movement outside. She immediately connected to the Blinkered Flowerfinch's vision.

After a moment, she saw Yu Qingshan's figure appear at the study door. He first rotated the middle section of one of the desk legs, then stood on a chair and fumbled around the top of the bookshelf. Finally, he took out all the books on the third shelf and tinkered in a corner of that same shelf.

With that, the bookshelf opened to both sides, revealing an entrance just large enough for one person to pass through.

A while later, Yu Qingshan emerged carrying a vase.

He reversed the process, and the bookshelf closed. He carefully placed each book back in its original position.

As soon as Yu Qingshan returned to his room, Yu Xunge got up. There were no other surveillance cameras in the Yu family's residence, but she wasn't sure about the treasure room. To be safe, she changed her clothes and put on gloves. Using her Disguise Skill, she transformed into Yu Xunhuan's appearance before lightly stepping into the study.

As long as she knew the location and the sequence of the mechanism, she could eventually figure it out. Soon, the closet opened.

Yu Xunge walked in quickly, leaving the Blinkered Flowerfinch at the entrance to keep watch and alert her if there was any movement.

After walking two meters, she reached another room. This must be the secret room converted from the adjacent storage room. This room had no door; it seemed to have been deliberately sealed, leaving only the passage to the study. The room was about the same size as the study and was filled with wooden crates.

She had seen these wooden crates in her previous life. By then, she was already a wanted criminal, having been on the run for half a year, living rough. Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo were busy moving the treasures they had accumulated over half their lives to the living room, preparing to move them to the new villa Yu Xunhuan had bought for them the next day. Their faces were filled only with joy and pride.

Yu Xunge took out the identical cardboard boxes she had prepared earlier, packed the contents of the wooden crates into them, then pressed down on the boxes and, with a thought, stacked them into her Spatial Pack, leaving only empty wooden crates scattered on the floor.

After finishing everything, she closed the secret room, returned to her own room with satisfaction, changed clothes, removed her disguise, and lay down with a smile.

Finally, she could get a good night's sleep.

On the 26th, Yu Xunge got up early to go for a run to exercise.

She absolutely had to be present today when Su Yitong visited.

Since Su Yitong was also an internal beta player and the legitimate wife of the live-in son-in-law protagonist, she couldn't possibly be weak.

Although she couldn't understand why a young lady from a wealthy family would download a game with no promotion in the middle of the night...

She could only guess that Yu Xunhuan was playing at the time, and Su Yitong downloaded the game to play with her boyfriend? Or perhaps, as the female lead, she naturally possessed good fortune?

During this time, the company called to inform her that the role she had been acting in for less than three days had been given to someone else. Yu Xunge didn't care. She had more important things to do than the entertainment industry.

At 11 AM, Yu Xunhuan brought Su Yitong to their home.

Yu Xunge had already hidden her resentment. She could even smile when she saw Su Yitong, and she admired herself for it.

But there was nothing more. She couldn't say anything flattering. Even though her younger brother had always said he had a difficult time at the Su family's place in her previous life, she couldn't bring herself to please the Su family for her brother's sake. She wasn't the live-in son-in-law!

In her previous life, when Su Yitong visited, she was still upset about Liu Hongsheng's matter. In Su Yitong's eyes, who knew what she would have thought? It was probably because of her distracted state that day that Yu Xunhuan was able to easily convince Su Yitong that she was a sister with an abnormal affection for her brother.

Today, Yu Xunge maintained a smiling, congratulatory demeanor throughout. She even tried to steal from Su Yitong during a toast.

Good. Although she didn't succeed in stealing, the skill had indeed been used. She could clearly sense when a skill was unusable or had failed.

It seemed Su Yitong was already a player.

Yu Xunge stole three more times, reducing her own health to just 40% before stopping. She succeeded once.

When the theft was successful, Yu Xunge took advantage of lowering her head to eat to check what she had stolen.

1 Luck!!

Su Yitong was a healer in her previous life. She had thought that the attributes she would most likely steal today would be intelligence. But she never expected that Su Yitong's highest attribute would be Luck, which couldn't be allocated, and that Luck could also be stolen?!

Perhaps at first, Yu Xunge used the skill, consuming her health, with the intention of merely annoying her enemy. But now, she was determined. Even if she had to drink potions, she would keep stealing from Su Yitong until she couldn't steal any more Luck!

This was extremely rare. No, it could even be said that this might be her only chance to steal Luck.

Luck was already the highest value on the attribute panel, making it rare. In the future, when everyone started leveling up and gaining attribute points, each level would grant five attribute points. If they casually added points to their strongest attributes, this situation would basically become impossible.

But the more it was like this, the more she couldn't be impatient. She couldn't match the Su family's influence right now. Although, due to the God of Thieves' passive effect, even if she stole Su Yitong's belongings now, Su Yitong wouldn't realize they were missing until a day later.

But the Su family's influence was too great. In the future, she would not only steal from Su Yitong but also from Yu Xunhuan and his group of brothers. The day before the loss of items, Yu Xunge would have been present for an extended period, occasionally sneaking away for a short while (to drink healing potions). This would easily arouse suspicion.

And such matters naturally had to be considered from the very first theft. Yu Xunge never believed in luck.

So, for the next hour, Yu Xunge acted as a mascot, offering blessings from time to time. Soon, after the meal, as they sat down for a more in-depth conversation, Yu Xunge controlled the Blinkered Flowerfinch to make her spare phone call her own phone. Then, pretending she had to go out to work, she left.

She took the elevator down and, under the surveillance cameras, conspicuously drove away from the residential complex.

Half an hour later, Yu Xunge, having replenished her health by eating jerky, used her Disguise Skill to transform into a middle-aged strong man and returned to the complex, taking the stairs back to the floor where the Yu family resided.

Through the Blinkered Flowerfinch she had left at the Yu residence, she saw that no one was on the first floor. The group was in the study discussing matters, and she didn't know where they found so many secrets.

Through the Blinkered Flowerfinch, she could vaguely hear words like "Yu family," "Su family," and "marriage into the family."

There were no surveillance cameras in the hallway, but every anti-theft door now had its own built-in camera.

Yu Xunge took out a Minor Invisibility Potion from her backpack and drank it. This potion could only make a person invisible for 5 minutes, with a cooldown of 7 minutes. She had to pay close attention to the time when using it.

After drinking the potion, not only did her body become invisible, but the items she carried also became invisible due to the potion. She walked over and, using her invisible key, opened the Yu family's main door.

The door opened a crack as if blown by the wind and then slowly closed.

Yu Xunge timed it perfectly and walked to the study. The door wasn't even closed.

Yu Qingshan was sitting behind the desk, while Yi Qiuguo and the others were sitting on several sofas, all with relaxed smiles on their faces.

Yu Xunge moved gently to Su Yitong's side. The moment Yu Xunhuan raised his hand to put his arm around her shoulder, she began to steal relentlessly!

After stealing four times in a row, her face turned pale, and her health dropped to 20%. She took a Minor Healing Potion, bringing her health back to 80%, and continued!

Another three consecutive thefts!

Success! Yu Xunge glanced at it, her heart filled with joy. Luck again!

Is this what they call the more you steal, the luckier you get?!

Yu Xunge silently counted down the time. She still had two minutes before the invisibility wore off. She gently exited the room and walked to Yu Xunhuan's bedroom. Pulling aside the sheet hanging by the bed, she hid under his bed.

At this moment, the Luck value in her personal panel had already reached 10, with two words added after it—Max Value.

Not long after Yu Xunge lay down, the invisibility potion wore off. While gnawing on jerky to quickly replenish her health, she quietly waited for the Minor Healing Potion's cooldown to end. With the effect of the jerky, her health could recover 5 points per minute.

Five minutes later, when the potion's cooldown ended, her health had recovered to 45%.

Yu Xunge didn't rush to drink the potion. Instead, she continued eating the jerky from her pack. She could only steal wantonly when her level was low. In the future, when her level was high and her health reached thousands, each additional theft from the same target would be deducted based on a percentage. A Minor Healing Potion only restored 60 points. At that time, if she wanted to quickly recover health, she would have to use intermediate, advanced, or even super potions. The cost of stealing one more time would become extremely expensive.

Just as her health recovered to 96%, the room door was opened, and voices followed.

It was Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan.
