Su Yitong negotiated with Yu Xunge for a large supply of potions after rejecting Zhao Shuying’s far higher prices. Yu Xunge sold the Su Family 2,000 potions for 600 pounds of gold and connected with Zhao Shuying, leaving the two sides on friendly terms despite their competing prices.

• Yu Xunge offered Su Yitong 500 Minor Healing Potions, 500 Minor Mana Potions, and fifty Minor Bandages for 150g of gold per potion, in exchange for help with her younger brother’s situation with the Lin Family.

Yu Xunge delivered two thousand Minor Healing Potions to the Su Family and discovered that Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong carried a contagious curse that reduced healing and prevented automatic HP recovery. Yu Xunhuan had already hidden the curse information and, worried about it, sought help from Yu Qingshan before Su Yitong brought in someone to inspect his talent.

• Yu Xunge sold two thousand potions to the Su Family for six hundred jin of gold and inspected Yu Xunhuan's talent.

• Su Yitong returned with a friend to inspect Yu Xunhuan's God-Bestowed Talent.

Su Yitong learned the truth about Yu Xunhuan’s God-Bestowed Talents and reassured him that the Su Family would support him as he trained. Meanwhile, Yu Xunge secured her cat nest with Tattoo Ink and considered what to do with the A-rank Demon Eye.

• Su Yitong confirmed that Yu Xunhuan’s four God-Bestowed Talents were unusable, apologized for doubting him, and promised to help him train and join dungeons.
• Yu Xunhuan agreed to serve as the Su Family’s logistics support, while Su Yitong planned to build his strength so he could earn dungeon drops himself.
• Yu Xunge bought Tattoo Ink from Zhao Shuying and used it to turn her cat nest into a tattoo sticker bound to her body.
• Yu Xunge tested the tattoo’s ability to summon and retrieve the cat nest, then hid the nest in the cat villa among cushions and pads.
• Yu Xunge left the A-rank Demon Eye unused because wearing it would require replacing an eye, and she noticed it was already two in the morning.

• Yu Xunge told Zhao Shuying she could not exchange for more gold coins because she had already depleted the goblins in twenty-seven main cities.
• The Special Affairs Bureau questioned whether Yu Xunge was withholding gold, but Zhao Shuying failed to persuade her to sell any.

• Yu Xunge kept the food she and her cats liked and sent the rest of her Cooking supplies to Zhao Shuying.

Yu Xunge monitored the Su family’s gold exchange and prepared to ambush Su Baige, but discovered that his group had grown to nearly a hundred people. She waited in disguise in the restaurant garage as Su Baige’s convoy dispersed among the cars, leaving her to identify two of his trusted confidants.

• Yu Xunge sent Zhao Shuying 1,258 attribute-boosting dishes and received three Dragon-shaped coins in return.

• Su Baige’s group arrived with nearly a hundred people, and Yu Xunge recognized two of his trusted confidants among those heading for adjacent cars.

Yu Xunge ambushed Su Baige’s men and stole two Game Inventories containing ten thousand catties of gold, then evaded tracking and removed the tracking potion from the gold. She returned to her safe house after destroying the tracking devices and disposing of the evidence.

• Yu Xunge shot and killed two of Su Baige’s trusted aides, stole their Game Inventories, and escaped while scattering coins to delay their pursuers.

• Yu Xunge brewed a potion with Hechipa’s crucible, washed the gold bricks, destroyed the tracking devices, and dumped the fragments in spider territory.
• Yu Xunge smeared herself with a pungent potion and returned to the safe house.

Yu Xunhuan learned that his curse was AIZ and feared the Su Family would discover it, while Yu Xunge visited him and the others at home and quietly observed his behavior. She gave everyone Minor Healing Potions, leaving Yu Xunhuan grateful on the surface but inwardly calm.

• Yu Xunhuan learned from Yu Qingshan’s test results that he had AIZ and suspected he had contracted it at the illegal clinic where he had surgery.
• After another ten thousand jin of gold went missing, Su Langfeng ordered an investigation into an inside man, and the Su Family cleared Yu Xunhuan after checking his movements.
• Yu Xunge sent the little spider through the pool pipes to dispose of it, then welcomed Yu Qingshan, Yi Qiuguo, and Yu Xunhuan to dinner.
• When Yi Qiuguo refused Yu Xunhuan’s red wine, Yu Xunge noticed his alarming reaction and gave Yi Qiuguo juice instead.
• Yu Xunge gave the three visitors Minor Healing Potions and added two extra bottles for Yu Xunhuan, who thanked her while hiding his true feelings.

Yu Xunge helped Yu Xunhuan search for a cure for his curse, gave Hechipa a sample of contagious cursed blood, and reached Level 1, entering the rankings. After receiving messages from buyers and people from the entertainment industry, she remembered Liu Zhengliu and decided she could kill her now.

• Yu Xunhuan found a Minor Vitality Potion formula that might remove his Unknown Curse, and Yu Xunge agreed to help him find its ingredients.
• Yu Xunhuan gave Yu Xunge, Yu Qingshan, and Yi Qiuguo handmade rings as gifts.
• Yu Xunge collected cursed blood from a sleeping patient, restored his HP with a Minor Healing Potion, and left him Green Gear as thanks.
• Yu Xunge gave Hechipa the blood sample and information about its contagious curse, then returned to Blue Star and reached Level 1.
• Yu Xunge entered the level rankings without hiding her name and declined Su Yitong's request to buy more Minor Healing Potions.
• Yu Xunge listed an F-Grade Mars Art book for 199 gold, received messages from strangers and entertainment-industry acquaintances, and remembered Liu Zhengliu as someone she could now kill.

Yu Xunge poisoned Liu Zhengliu to death, then visited Yu Xunhuan’s studio and found Ye Dong and Lin Chengze badly injured. Recognizing Lin Chengze as the future victim of Yu Xunhuan’s talent-stealing ritual, she chose to investigate the method rather than kill him for now.

• Yu Xunge poisoned Liu Zhengliu repeatedly, watched her die, and discarded her corpse among level 8 monsters in a coastal dungeon.
• Yu Xunge visited Yu Xunhuan’s studio and inspected Ye Dong’s damaged contract item, the Otaku’s God.
• Yu Xunge found Lin Chengze blind and examined his S-rank Breath of Winter talent.
• Yu Xunge recognized Lin Chengze as the person she had seen in the Scrying Stone during Yu Xunhuan’s talent-stealing ritual.
• Yu Xunge decided to leave Lin Chengze alive and investigate how Yu Xunhuan stole God-Bestowed Talents, while considering that she could kill them later.

Yu Xunge sold her Mars Art Skill Book, continued studying alchemy and training, and settled her Skill Crystal profits with Zhao Shuying. At dinner, Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo tried to draw her into working with the Special Affairs Bureau and reveal how she had climbed the rankings, but she kept her information to herself.

• Yu Xunge relisted the Mars Art Skill Book for 19 gold and sold it after shopping for alcohol and cigarettes.
• Yu Xunge continued her alchemy lessons with Hechipa and trained until she could evade thirty trolls without being hit.
• Yu Xunge agreed to receive contribution points for her Skill Crystals, then discovered the Special Affairs Bureau had bought them all internally.
• Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo visited Yu Xunge for dinner and tried to persuade her to work with the Special Affairs Bureau and share her resources.
• Yu Xunge answered Yu Qingshan's questions about her ranking with truthful but vague explanations, and he chose not to press her.

Yu Xunge’s family discussed instance entry fees, while Yu Qingshan and Yu Xunhuan plotted how to keep her useful to them. At the Su residence, Yu Xunhuan realized Su Yitong suspected his disease and wanted a child to bind them together, and he pretended to welcome her plan.

• Yu Xunge told Yi Qiuguo that entering an instance cost three Minor Healing Potions or three silver coins, and Yi Qiuguo abandoned the idea of going.
• After seeing Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo out, Yu Xunge considered killing them and using their deaths to harm Yu Xunhuan or divide him from Su Yitong.
• Yu Qingshan told Yu Xunhuan to keep treating Yu Xunge well, but Yu Xunhuan defended his sister and said she would help them if they truly needed it.
• Yu Xunhuan grew alarmed as Su Yitong showed signs that she suspected his disease, including watching him sleep and inspecting his body.
• Su Yitong hugged Yu Xunhuan and said she wanted a child; he recognized that she meant to bind him to her, then warmly agreed while cursing her inwardly.

Yu Xunge asked Hechipa how to protect her God-Bestowed Talent from being stolen, and Hechipa taught her three alchemical ways to counter the threat. The chapter ended with Yu Xunge buying Hechipa’s potions and gemstone after learning she could not make the master-level formulas herself.

• Yu Xunge left Blue Star through a hidden dungeon in a Liang Family office building, hoping the Su Family followers would discover it.
• Hechipa reported that she had developed several poisons from Yu Xunge’s blood but lacked enough data to find a cure for the Unknown Curse.
• Yu Xunge paid Hechipa to explain the demon-linked array that could strip an S-rank God-Bestowed Talent.
• Hechipa described three defenses: making a deal with a demon, using the Redemption Mantra potion, or sacrificing part of the talent to create a Heart of Undying.
• Hechipa taught Yu Xunge the Dark Transaction knowledge and the two master-level formulas, then offered the potion for 499 gold and the gemstone for 1,999 gold.
• Yu Xunge decided to buy the ready-made alchemical creations after giving up on brewing them herself.

Yu Xunge bought the Heart of Undying and the Redemption Mantra from Hechipa, then considered how to hide the instance barrier at her villa. After dismissing an expensive Magic House, she searched the cats’ villa and finally felt something near the mutated cat bed.

• Yu Xunge paid Hechipa 2,500 gold for the Redemption Mantra and Heart of Undying, and received a curio as a gift.
• Yu Xunge drank the Redemption Mantra and gained the Aegis of Ita, which protected her with Holy Light.
• Yu Xunge decided the Heart of Undying was the best way to curse Lin Chengze and accepted that he might benefit from becoming undying.
• Yu Xunge learned a legendary Magic House cost at least 50,000 gold, then considered making a miniature version as a hidden cat hostel.
• Yu Xunge stopped clearing instances and searched around the cats’ bed, where she finally felt something.

Yu Xunge discovered the Su Family had taken control of the instance in the Liang Family's office building, then prepared to give Lin Chengze the Heart of Undying during another midnight operation. Lin Chengze accepted the heart's offer of Undying as his life slowly drained away.

• Yu Xunge found an amber scorpion curio and decided to brew alcohol with it while continuing to invest in the cat bed.
• Su Yitong learned the Su Family had found the low-level instance in the Liang Family's office building and ordered her people to take it over.
• Yu Xunge discovered she could no longer enter the instance, acted as though she had only just found it, and left an Undead little spider to watch the site.
• Yu Xunge crafted a food bowl for the backyard cats and considered precautions for Lin Chengze's heart surgery.
• Yu Xunge abducted Lin Chengze, cut open his chest, and offered him the Heart of Undying as compensation for taking his eyes and Demon Eye.
• Lin Chengze accepted the Heart of Undying, sacrificing some of his God-Bestowed Talent in exchange for the Undying trait.

Yu Xunge learned that Lin Chengze’s Heart of Undying had become a curse that kept his HP above 1 while weakening his winter skills. She left S City to pursue Yu Xunhuan’s opportunity and headed toward JL, while Liang Yuchuan’s request for skill crystals ended without a reply.

• Yu Xunge discovered that Lin Chengze’s Undying curse prevented his HP from falling below 1 and had weakened his Breath of Winter abilities.
• Yu Xunge decided to leave S City for JL and sent her family a message; Yu Xunhuan sent her gold and food in response to her request for money.
• Yu Xunge drove out of S City and passed the Liang Family’s convoy.
• Liang Yuchuan asked Yu Xunge to sell him skill crystals, but Yu Xunge said her contract required her to sell them to the Special Affairs Bureau.
• Liang Yuchuan stopped replying after Yu Xunge explained that she could not break her contract or sell the crystals elsewhere.

Yu Xunge saw the Special Affairs Bureau announce that it would handle and protect owners of special skills, convincing Su Yitong that Yu Xunge had told the truth. Yu Xunhuan’s luck continued to benefit him, but his worsening curse remained unresolved; he asked Yu Xunge to obtain a Mechanical Eyeball for Lin Chengze.

• Yu Xunge read the Special Affairs Bureau’s announcement listing her So Happy Now among skills it would handle and protect, and she approved of the Bureau’s response.
• Liang Yuchuan complained to Su Yitong about not bringing Yu Xunge into the Su Family sooner, and the announcement finally convinced Su Yitong that Yu Xunge had told the truth.
• Su Yitong shifted jewelry resources to Yu Xunhuan because his Jewelry Processing consistently produced maximum attributes, while some Su Family members blamed his bad belt deal and questioned his luck.
• Yu Xunhuan’s good fortune helped him profit from cooking and Jewelry Processing, but a Minor Vitality Potion failed to restore his last point of health, leaving him worried that his curse would worsen.
• Lin Chengze told Yu Xunhuan that an Intermediate Engineering Mechanical Eyeball could restore his sight, and Yu Xunhuan called Yu Xunge to ask her to obtain its materials.
• Yu Xunge agreed to ask the Special Affairs Bureau for the materials, while Yu Xunhuan admitted that he felt uneasy about how the Su Family had handled the Lin Family matter.

Yu Xunge continued her lessons and cooking practice while arranging Mechanical Eyeballs for Yu Xunhuan, who discovered Su Yitong and Lin Chengze had S-rank talents. Lin Chengze regained his sight, learned his talent was S-rank with Immortality, and received the Lin Family’s support, while they sent Yu Xunge a sports car as thanks.

• Yu Xunge attended Hechipa’s lessons, practiced cooking, and kept up with dungeon runs as Healing Potion prices fell.
• Yu Xunge used Yu Xunhuan’s eighty gold coins to buy materials and make two Mechanical Eyeballs for Lin Chengze.
• Yu Xunhuan inspected Su Yitong’s talent and discovered her S-rank Holy Light skills, then saw that Lin Chengze also had an S-rank talent and the Immortality curse.
• Lin Chengze installed the Mechanical Eyeballs, regained his sight, and revealed his S-rank talent to Ye Dong and the studio.
• The Lin Family celebrated Lin Chengze’s return, supplied him with resources to catch up, and sent Yu Xunge a sports car in thanks.

Yu Xunge negotiated with Zhao Shuying to lease her Level 3 instance in exchange for skill crystals, then arranged to expose the Su Family’s use of an office-building instance through an information broker. After returning to S City, she prepared her villa and sorted the items she had acquired in JL, including red ginseng for making a special food.

• Yu Xunge reached Level 1, 90% by repeatedly clearing monster camps in JL and told Zhao Shuying to use an Area of Effect skill and other preparations to solo instances.
• Yu Xunge and Zhao Shuying agreed that the Special Affairs Bureau could use Yu Xunge’s Level 3 instance outside her daily five-hour window in exchange for seven skill crystals chosen by Yu Xunge.
• Yu Xunge paid an information broker 50 silver coins to spread word about the instance in the Liang Family’s office building, intending to keep the Liang and Su Families from tracing the discovery to her.
• Yu Xunge returned to S City on the 18th, flattened the rooftop safe room, and carved a Teleportation Array to Zelan Star beneath her bedroom bed.
• Yu Xunge reviewed her gains from JL and focused on Changbai Mountain Red Ginseng, which could be cooked with Minor Healing Potion into ginseng liquid.

Yu Xunge bought a massive supply of red ginseng to make and sell ginseng extract before Yu Xunhuan could corner the market. She negotiated a private instance arrangement with Zhao Shuying and Wu Qingbai, then received a skill that could protect her home while realizing the Su and Liang Families might use similar defenses.

• Yu Xunge calculated the profits from ginseng extract and bought seventy thousand catties of ordinary red ginseng and fifteen catties of premium red ginseng.
• Yu Xunge planned to spend the next half month making ginseng extract and sell it after players had money again.
• Zhao Shuying and Wu Qingbai visited Yu Xunge to sign a contract and discuss a direct passage into her level-three instance.
• Yu Xunge agreed to provide paid food and free seating for visitors, while forbidding them from going downstairs or investigating her privacy.
• Zhao Shuying gave Yu Xunge a Shielding Water Curtain skill crystal, and Yu Xunge worried that the Su and Liang Families might use similar protections.

Yu Xunge rented out a dungeon, set up a vending machine, and began producing ginseng solution to sell. Meanwhile, the Liang Family confronted the Su Family over a dungeon, and Yu Xunge secretly watched as the dispute began.

• Yu Xunge used a skill crystal to create a rain curtain around her villa, then chose discount and inventory-expansion skills as her first month's dungeon-rental payment.
• Yu Xunge built a vending machine and rest area, bought Minor Healing Potions, and began bottling ginseng solution for sale.
• Zhao Shuying asked to place her own vending machine at the dungeon, and Yu Xunge offered to sell her one for forty-nine gold coins and ninety-nine silver coins.
• Baozi sold the Liang Family verified information about a dungeon in their office building, and Liang Jing sent people to investigate the Su Family's use of it.
• The Liang Family blocked the Su Family from entering the dungeon, and Yu Xunge secretly reached the rooftop to observe the dispute.
• Su Yitong arrived to negotiate, acknowledged the Su Family's involvement, and refused to pay the Liang Family two hundred gold coins in compensation.

Yu Xunge secretly provoked a fight between the Su and Liang Families, then used a dying Liang Family player and a Mini Guidance Device to shoot Su Yitong, destroying her remaining ear. Liang Yuchuan and Liang Jing realized the attack had left the families irreconcilable, with no plausible way to blame their mutual enemy.

• Yu Xunge exploited a gap in the teams’ detection skills, disguised her voice, and called Liang Yuchuan a cripple, prompting Liang Yuchuan to attack the Su Family and start a fight.
• Yu Xunge used a dying Liang Family gunman to shoot at Su Yitong, and the bullet curved after Su Yitong dodged, blasting off her remaining ear.
• Yu Xunge installed a Mini Guidance Device on the dead gunman’s weapon and escaped with Phantom Shift.
• Su Yitong declared she would remember the grudge, fired several shots into a corpse, and left while Liang Yuchuan’s team apologized.
• Liang Yuchuan found the guidance device on the gun, and Liang Jing concluded that they could not shift the blame for the incident onto their mutual enemy.

Yu Xunhuan helped Su Yitong find a temporary way to cope with her deafness, while the Su and Liang Families escalated their feud over the two Instance Barriers. Yu Xunge finished brewing the ginseng extract, and Yu Xunhuan realized Su Yitong’s worsening state had made his plan to manipulate her guilt unusable.

• Su Yitong despaired over being unable to restore her lost ear, so Yu Xunhuan contacted Yu Xunge about a Literacy Toy that could display spoken words as an Instance Barrier.
• Yu Xunge reached Zhao Shuying, who offered to make the toy in exchange for two Level 5 Instance Barriers, and Su Yitong agreed to the price.
• Yu Xunge outsourced bottling the ginseng extract to Machi and finished brewing all 350,000 bottles in less than half a month.
• The Su Family demanded twenty instances from the Liang Family as compensation, and Liang Jing rejected the demand, escalating the families’ conflict.
• Yu Xunhuan gained experience quickly by clearing instances with the Su Family and his studio, while Su Yitong grew quieter and clung to him more closely.
• Yu Xunhuan realized Su Yitong had become too twisted for his plan to exploit her guilt over falsely blaming him for her illness.

Yu Xunge arranged for Yu Xunhuan’s secret AIZ diagnosis to reach the Su and Liang Families, then watched as Su Yitong confronted him. Yu Xunhuan tried to bargain for his life by offering to help Su Yitong hide the curse and take revenge, while she arrived at his apartment with armed subordinates.

• Yu Xunge let Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo into a dungeon, then frightened them into fleeing with nearly empty health bars.
• Yu Xunge sold Baozi the information that Yu Xunhuan had AIZ, and Baozi passed it to the Liang Family and Su Yitong.
• Yu Xunge placed undead spiders around the Su and Liang estates and Yu Xunhuan’s apartment to observe what happened.
• Yu Xunhuan paid Baozi to learn that the Liang Family and Su Yitong knew about his AIZ, then messaged Su Yitong.
• Su Yitong arrived at Yu Xunhuan’s apartment with two powerful subordinates, and Yu Xunhuan offered to help her hide the curse and get revenge on the Liang Family.
• Su Yitong told Yu Xunhuan to open the door and promised she would not kill him.

Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong signed a contract to become temporary allies, then joined forces to smear the Su Family with a false HIV scandal. Meanwhile, Yu Xunge watched their troubles unfold and sold hundreds of thousands of bottles of ginseng liquid for a huge profit before the Special Affairs Bureau could drive down the price.

• Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong agreed to share information and resources under a contract, and Yu Xunhuan gave her the Chameleon Tea Pet to conceal her curse.
• Su Yitong paid Baozi to confess that she had deceived the Liang Family, and Baozi gave the Liang Family another story that implicated an unnamed employer.
• Su Yitong spread real and fabricated scandals about the Su Family, including false claims that its members had HIV, causing widespread panic before the rumors were dismissed as sabotage.
• Yu Xunge watched Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan's downfall through her little spider and continued buying ginseng to brew and sell healing liquid.
• Yu Xunge sold nearly all of her ginseng liquid between April 8 and April 19, earning a large amount of gold before the Special Affairs Bureau could lower the market price.
