What Baby Wants, Baby Gets

She slipped smoothly into the Su Family Manor. Relying on an intangibility potion and memories from her past life, she found the entrance to the treasure vault in the study of the manor's main building, then made her way down. All along the way, the corridors were filled with sophisticated technological devices.

She had even prepared herself to charge straight in and grab what she could if the thermal sensors detected her.

But thankfully, magic had no solution. Only magic could defeat magic.

She felt as though she had descended several meters and passed through three doors. Just as she reached the final door, alarms suddenly began blaring around her.

She looked down at the floor tiles and clicked her tongue, instantly guessing that there were probably pressure sensors underneath.

Without further hesitation, she drank another intangibility potion, passed through the ancient and exquisite doors, and entered the treasure vault.

The vault was no smaller than the manor aboveground. It was divided into different sections for books, jewelry, antiques, and gold.

Yu Xunge ran straight ahead and was soon nearly blinded by the glittering gold. Inside one small glass room, gold bricks had been stacked neatly in rows. Each brick was slightly smaller than a phone, but half a finger thick. Having handled so much gold lately, she estimated at a glance that each brick weighed around ten jin.

Who the hell said wealthy families didn't have much liquid capital?!

Right, they didn't have much liquid capital. They had all stored it as gold!

She quickly ran inside and began stuffing gold bricks into her inventory.

Luckily, she had bought a new bag. Of her seventy-two inventory slots, forty-four were currently empty.

In other words, if she filled them all, she could carry 44 x 99, for a total of 4,356 gold bricks.

If she slowed down and placed the gold bricks into storage boxes before putting them away, she could carry even more, but she did not have enough time.

Soon, sounds came from outside—the door opening, guns being cocked, and more. They drew closer and closer. Yu Xunge was practically sprawled over the pile of gold bricks as she stuffed them into her inventory.

Just as a large group outside rushed in, Yu Xunge immediately stopped. Even though twenty slots remained empty, she decisively gave up, left the room containing the gold, drank an intangibility potion, and sprinted outside.

Yu Xunge was greedy, but she understood restraint and trade-offs even better.

Sure enough, just as she reached the main door, the row of armed bodyguards opened fire on the gold storage room under the Su Family head's orders. It did not matter even if they damaged the gold and decorations inside.

A faint current flowed across the ground outside the door. Yu Xunge abruptly stopped, pulled out ten packs of explosives she had made from her bag, lit several of them, and tossed them all into the corridor ahead. She then hid behind the door. Five seconds later, several loud explosions rang out in succession. When she looked again, the ground was blackened, and nothing remained.

She continued charging outside.

Although each intangibility potion only lasted fifteen seconds, its cooldown was short—only thirty seconds. Fortunately, compared with bodyguards, the Su Family clearly trusted technology more. The group that had rushed into the basement earlier was probably the Su Family's trusted inner circle, and not many more people entered afterward.

Yu Xunge did not flee the manor. Instead, she went to Su Yitong's room.

The moment she entered, she saw Su Baige, Su Jinxuan, and Su Yitong sitting in the bedroom playing the game.

Despite the huge commotion downstairs, none of them reacted. They either trusted the Su Family head's abilities or could not bear to leave the life-changing game.

Yu Xunge did not hesitate. She raised her hand and fired three Knockout spells.

Bang—Bang—Bang!

All three collapsed one after another.

At the same time they fell, Yu Xunge wanted to check their phones, only to find that the screens had gone black as well.

It seemed the game was connected to people's minds. That made sense. Otherwise, how could the skills she learned in the game synchronize with reality?

Then, two inventory bags appeared in front of Su Yitong.

Ha, an unexpected bonus. Yu Xunge immediately stepped forward and tucked both bags against herself. Although she only had two inventory slots at her waist, just like equipment, it was not as though she could not carry more. Only two could take effect, though. It was like how someone could wear more than ten vests if they wanted, but since the upper body only had one equipment slot, only one could be activated.

Now, she could wear Su Yitong's inventory bags, though she could not sense their contents.

She had originally planned to hide here for a while, but with Su Yitong's bags in hand, Yu Xunge did not dare gamble. She had never imagined inventory bags could drop this way. Even with the Thief God talent, she could only steal one piece of equipment or item from someone's inventory—she could even steal a backpack stored in their inventory, but she could not steal the inventory bag a person currently had equipped.

She could knock someone out and forcibly strip off their equipment, but to obtain an inventory bag worn on someone's body, she could only kill them. Otherwise, all she would touch was empty air.

Yu Xunge pulled an axe from her bag, weighed it in her hand, and walked over to the three of them.

Liang Yuchuan had given her an arm as interest. What would these three give her?

An ear, then. Since Yu Xunhuan believed whatever they said, taking one of their ears was not excessive, was it?

Yu Xunge took out the butcher's knife she had bought and crouched beside Su Yitong. Just as she brushed aside her hair, she saw the blue diamond earring on her right ear.

Ha. Yu Xunge's eyes lit up. She swiftly grabbed that ear and cut it off.

The intense pain broke the effect of Knockout. Su Yitong woke from the pain, clutching her ear and screaming repeatedly.

But when she looked around, she could not see anyone.

Yu Xunge, who had already downed an invisibility potion and an intangibility potion, had fled with the ear and blue diamond earring. Along the way, she removed her bloodstained gloves and placed them, along with the ear and earring, into her bag.

Then she sprinted all the way to the nearby Han Family Manor and slipped into a maid's room in the secondary building. No one was inside. Of course—at 11:35, it was the busiest time for maids.

Not daring to assume the maid's room had no surveillance cameras, Yu Xunge expertly crawled under the bed and lay down.

This place still made her feel safe.

It was even a sunroom. Much more comfortable.

12:12

Lying beneath the bed, Yu Xunge opened the game right on time. After disguising herself as a goblin, she ran off to find her goblin teacher.

Twenty-two slots were stacked full of gold bricks, and one more slot contained fifteen bricks. That made 2,193 gold bricks in total, or 21,930 jin.

After finding her goblin teacher and proposing to exchange all of it for gold coins, the goblin fell silent for several seconds.

The goblin's words popped up in the dialogue box: I don't have that many gold coins, my friend.

Yu Xunge was genuinely furious. She had worked herself to death and risked her life to make money, only for him to tell her he could not even come up with 60,000 gold coins?!

Gewuen: "You don't even have 60,000 gold?!"

Goblin: "...Do you?"

Yu Xunge: Are you being sarcastic?!

Gewuen: "Then how much do you have, my friend?"

Goblin: "20,000."

Gewuen: "Don't you have any friends?"

The goblin fell silent again.

Say something, husband!!!

After a long while, the goblin said, "I'm not exchanging anymore."

Gewuen: "I am your most loyal friend!!!"

Goblin: "How disgusting."

Gewuen: "Then let's exchange 20,000 gold first."

Goblin: "Fine, my disgusting friend."

Yu Xunge endured it.

She went to find the goblin engineer and proposed exchanging for gold coins, but he ignored her.

Gewuen: "Teacher?"

The goblin focused intently on hammering away at a copper pipe.

Gewuen moved her little character closer. "Teacher?"

When she called him teacher for the third time in the dialogue box—

A reply finally appeared.

The tiny goblin on the screen flew into a rage. "No money!!! I have no money!!! Ask, ask, ask—can't you see I'm ignoring you? All my money went into research! If you really see me as your teacher, then pay more tuition! If you don't have any, get lost and go find that guy Bill!"

Yu Xunge: "..." Sorry to disturb you.

Ten minutes after entering the game, Yu Xunge arrived at the auction house with 20,000 gold, grumbling and swearing the entire way.

The first thing she did was spend 10,000 gold to bid on the dual SSS-grade Phantom Shift.

Then she began shopping like crazy.
