She focused and sensed several distinctive buildings, estimating that the farthest she could move was 10 km.
Her Intelligence was currently exactly 10. All magic-type skills were affected by Intelligence, so the distance she could travel would probably increase once her Intelligence rose. But that was fine—she could just cast the spell a few more times, couldn't she?
She opened her eyes and raised a hand—Phantom Shift!
Yu Xunge appeared in Yu Xunhuan's hotel room. He was still in the same position, head buried in his suitcase. To be safe, Yu Xunge used her Steal skill on him anyway.
—Skill cannot be used!
Yu Xunge was relieved and used Phantom Shift again to leave.
She still needed to do one more despicable thing. Otherwise, all the time she had spent anxiously thinking about that bastard would have been for nothing.
Maintaining her phantom form, she appeared outside the AIZ Disease Control Center. While waiting for people to arrive at work, she checked her character panel.
When she saw that [Thief God's Theft, which could also mean a thief's theft] was still usable, she was completely reassured. It was just a shame she couldn't use the skill to keep stealing in the game, dying, then stealing again.
Below the [God-Given Talent] Immortality, another God-Given Talent had appeared.
[God-Given Talent] Sharpshooter (A) You were born to shoot. Every ranged weapon is like an extension of your arm. The moment you pick one up, you can slay gods. A true Sharpshooter needs no initiative—she needs to do nothing at all to be strong. [Skill 1] You're Too Weak (Passive): During battle, you can keenly detect an enemy's weaknesses. [Skill 2] Guaranteed Critical Hit--! (Passive): Seven is a magical number. Any shooting action related to 7 is guaranteed to critically strike. [Skill 3] I'm Getting Serious (Passive): As long as you aim at an enemy for more than three seconds, the attack is guaranteed to hit. Even if it is blocked away, it will strive to fulfill its mission, stopping only once the weapon you fired has been destroyed. [Skill 4] I'm Terrifyingly Strong Now: After activating this state, every arrow, bolt, or bullet you fire will randomly carry magical energy of either ice, fire, or lightning. Consumes 10 Mana per second. After each activation and deactivation, it enters a cooldown period. Cooldown: 5 minutes.
Yu Xunge sucked in a sharp breath. She really did not need to do anything to be strong. Four skills, and three of them were passive.
Not a single one was useless. Skill 1 would help her fight better, and its practicality was unaffected by whether she used a bow or not.
Skill 2 meant that the 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th... arrow she fired—any multiple of seven—would definitely crit. That was basically one guaranteed critical hit every seven attacks...
There was nothing more to say about Skill 3. It was a homing missile.
Skill 4 was an explosive ultimate.
Yu Xunge did not have any particular career plan yet, but this talent was simply too powerful. Not training it would be a disservice to the talent! Considering that firearms made too much noise, she immediately decided to get herself a bow or crossbow to practice with first!
Yu Xunge planned out her skills and equipment in her mind, familiarized herself with the several skills she had newly acquired, and observed the passersby through her glasses item, trying to see whether she could spot any closed beta players.
She stood at the entrance until after three in the afternoon before obtaining a small amount of an incurable infectious virus. It could not kill someone, but once the game descended, it would definitely affect the target's stats and condition.
Before leaving, she poured a bottle of Basic Healing Potion into the man's mouth.
It could only restore some of his health. Treating diseases was not something a health potion could handle.
After the game invaded in her previous life, once people with serious illnesses had their bodies converted into data, their diseases directly affected their stats as well. Those with physical disabilities simply had lower health. Those with severe illnesses would continuously lose health, with the rate determined by the severity of the disease, as though someone had cast a damage-over-time spell on them.
Wanting to live was easy, too. They could keep drinking healing potions, or receive a top-tier healing spell capable of curing terminal illnesses.
She was looking forward to Yu Xunhuan's condition once he became game-ified.
When she Phantom Shifted back to Yu Xunhuan's room, he was already gone. Yu Xunge was not disappointed. She returned to her villa, placed the cat toy in the Meow Meow Inn, then took a proper shower and went to sleep.
She slept straight through until two in the morning before Phantom Shifting to Yu Xunhuan's room.
Very good. So before the game's closed beta, the male lead actually went to bed early and woke up early.
She first hit Yu Xunhuan with [Wheel of Fortune], changing his Luck to 1. But she discovered that even after reducing his Luck to 1, Yu Xunhuan seemed to sense something and always managed to evade her hand a moment ahead of time.
After more than a dozen stabs without landing a single hit, Yu Xunhuan scratched his ear, then his head. Later, he even scratched his butt and his toes.
He scratched every part of his body that could possibly be scratched.
Yu Xunge was numb: ...
You brat, are you pretending to sleep?!
Seeing Yu Xunhuan's eyelids twitch, Yu Xunge directly hit him with Knockout.
Yu Xunhuan's head lolled to the side. At last, he was quiet!!
She casually tried stealing from him again. It was still Skill cannot be used. Yu Xunhuan still was not a player.
Only then did she return to her villa, her thoughts clear and her heart content. After destroying the syringe, she began considering how to deal with the severed limbs in her inventory.
Originally, she had planned to toss them into the game last night for monsters to eat, but once she entered the game, she had not had a moment to spare.
And neither dumping them at a crematorium nor at a pig farm was appropriate. No matter how awful she was, she did not want to drag ordinary people into it.
In the end, she decided to find somewhere to burn them.
Strike while the iron was hot. She was still within the disguise duration, so she could not waste it.
With a Phantom Shift, Yu Xunge arrived at the seaside she had once visited while filming. There were not many people by the sea at this hour, and even people having outdoor sex would not be doing it at this time. She took out Su and Liang's little pieces, then took out ten packets of explosives and buried them together. After lighting the explosives, she Phantom Shifted a hundred meters away.
Once the sound of the explosion subsided, Yu Xunge returned to the scene and piled up the fragments and bones she could find before blowing them up again.
Finally, carrying an iron bucket, she used a shovel to scoop up every bit of ash and blackened debris she could find from that patch of ground, then dumped it all into the sea.
That felt good.
Killing them outright had felt good for one minute.
Revenge every day, satisfaction every day.
She stood by the sea, toying with the earring, her mood incomparably pleasant. This thing was a token that could trigger a chain quest. After completing the quest, she could learn a top-tier healing spell that could cure all illnesses and disabilities and restore 70% of one's health in a single cast. She had even searched for that top-tier healing spell at the auction house, but had failed to find it.
Having ground some of her enemies to ashes, Yu Xunge went home to sleep. Only after lying in bed and closing her eyes did she remember: Damn it, why didn't I use Magic Missile?!
She had forgotten that she was a mage!
