Act Until Your Heart Breaks

Yu Xunge had a big act to put on in a few days.

But before that, she went to the hospital to have a tooth pulled. Once the space was cleared, she fitted in the Magician's Dentures.

The dentures took root firmly the moment they touched the socket, before the anesthetic had even worn off.

The second matter was finding a way to deal with the secret room in the Yu Family study. She hadn't expected Yu Qingshan to be so useless—he still hadn't noticed after all this time!!

If she claimed to be a second closed-beta player under these circumstances, even a pig would know who had moved the treasures out.

On June 8, Yu Xunge had no choice but to make another trip to Harbor City. Using photos of the jewelry and antiques she had previously sold, she urgently had someone make a batch of convincing fakes, along with three hundred pounds of fake gold bars. Then, with her game inventory and Phantom Shift, she moved everything back into Yu Qingshan's study.

In any case, the family had no immediate need for money. In her previous life, when she escaped back home, the old couple had still been moving those treasures around.

Although Yu Xunhuan had constantly asked her for money in her previous life, that was because he had become a closed-beta player and needed vast amounts of cash. But in this life, he was just an ordinary 9cm warrior. What did he need money for?!

By the time she made the round trip and finished handling everything, it was already the 10th.

That day, Yu Xunge not only called Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo to the hotel where Yu Xunhuan was staying, but she even wanted to call Su Yitong over as well. However, Su Yitong had lost an ear and wasn't in the mood to deal with her.

Fine. It didn't matter if the female lead didn't come. It was fine if she couldn't earn the female lead's trust points. Causing a rift between the male and female leads was good too.

Yu Xunhuan sat by the bed with his eyes lowered, wearing an obedient expression that said, "Although I'm upset, I'll cooperate with whatever Sister wants to do."

Once everyone was seated, Yu Xunge made sure the hotel room door was tightly shut. Then she returned to them and lowered her voice mysteriously. "I found a possible way to cure my little brother."

With that one sentence, the two people who appeared gentle but were already impatient inside, and the one person impatient both inside and out, all widened their eyes and looked at her.

Yu Xunge said that a few days ago, while she had been bored waiting for someone in the morning, she downloaded a game to play. But after only two hours, the game vanished, and her phone disappeared with it. Most importantly, the items and skills from the game had come out with her! She even searched for the game right in front of them, but there was nothing.

Not only Yu Qingshan and Yu Xunhuan—even Yi Qiuguo's breathing slowed. Her temper wasn't very good, and she was always impulsive, but she knew Yu Xunge's character. Yu Xunge wouldn't joke about something this serious.

Yu Xunge lowered her voice further, then pulled a battered little gray pouch from her pocket—a four-slot pouch obtained from the previous owner of [Wheel of Fortune].

Then, before their eyes, she took out three lunch boxes far larger than the gray pouch itself. After that, she pulled out a glass vial no bigger than her pinky finger, filled with a liquid like a red gemstone. She handed the medicine to Yu Xunhuan. "This is a healing potion from the game. Hurry, drink it and see if it can cure you!"

Yu Xunhuan accepted the vial with trembling hands. His gaze at Yu Xunge was filled with extremely complicated emotions: disbelief, gratitude, appreciation, and jealousy.

Yu Xunge urged, "Hurry up and try it!"

Yi Qiuguo was even more anxious than she was, constantly urging Yu Xunhuan on. Yu Qingshan had clenched his fists so tightly that he looked ready to rush over and pour the potion down Yu Xunhuan's throat himself.

Yu Xunhuan tipped his head back and drank the potion, but nothing happened. His face darkened as he stared at his pants.

What a sin. She had never seen the protagonist of a male-oriented power fantasy with a single-digit measurement.

What was the difference between rounding up and zero?!

At that moment, Yu Xunge was grateful that she was an actress. She forced a smile and consoled him. "Even if this one doesn't work, now we know that something this miraculous exists. I caught this opportunity, and you might catch one next time!"

Without waiting for anyone to speak, she added, "I originally wanted to invite Yitong here today too, because I wanted her to investigate as well. This game is so incredible—I can't be the only one who encountered it. The Su Family has influence, so they must have more information than ordinary people like us."

After calming down, Yu Xunhuan asked, "Then what skills did you get?"

"It isn't exactly a skill. It's a talent I drew. It can make someone lucky or unlucky by changing their luck value. It can only be used once a day." As she spoke, she smiled. "Want to try it? I can make your luck 10. That's the highest possible value."

She had already decided that, from now on, she would disguise her divine talent as [Wheel of Fortune]. This talent was far too useful. Changing someone else's luck was one thing, but she could also choose whether to hide it from the target. It was practically the ultimate skill for doing bad things—hide it when making people unlucky, show it when doing good deeds. Perfect.

Yu Xunhuan's emotions were complicated for a moment. The talent sounded useful, but it wasn't absurdly powerful enough to create an unbridgeable gap between people. Yet he still regretted that it wasn't a healing talent... However, those emotions flashed by in an instant. The jealousy faded, leaving behind only gratitude—genuine gratitude.

Yu Xunge was actually willing to tell them such a huge secret.

Even though Yu Xunge always held something back and refused to give them all the money she earned, at this moment, those grievances began to fade.

He thought, Fine. I won't have Su Yitong suppress her anymore. I'll find another way to make Su Yitong feel threatened.

Yu Qingshan's feelings were equally complicated. Why hadn't this kind of lucky encounter happened to his son? But then his heart warmed. He knew the son he had raised. If Yu Xunhuan had encountered such a stroke of fortune, he might have given him a sip of the soup, but he would never have revealed everything without holding back!

Yi Qiuguo was the same. On one hand, she regretted that it hadn't happened to her son, but on the other, her heart grew hot with emotion. She muttered to herself that Yu Xunge was such a silly girl, telling her family everything.

Yu Xunge opened the meal boxes and had everyone eat together while they talked. Then she smiled awkwardly and put the pouch away, making it clear that this part would not be shared.

Unlike the discomfort they had felt before, Yu Qingshan and Yu Xunhuan had known the family assets. In the past, Yu Xunge often gave the family money, but in their eyes, that little amount proved nothing. Yu Xunge's reservations only made them think she was an ungrateful wretch. They always believed she was holding something back from her family and guarding against them.

But now that Yu Xunge had shared such an extraordinary encounter with them, even if she showed a hint of reservation, Yu Qingshan and Yu Xunhuan no longer thought she hadn't done enough. They could only sigh helplessly to themselves. Their daughter/sister was still so stingy.

Yu Xunge couldn't read minds and had no idea what those two old and young scheming bastards were thinking, but she followed her plan and remained vigilant at all times.

In her previous life, Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo had both become players only after the game officially invaded. Their talents had been ordinary, but Yu Xunge had made up her mind: if either of them won the talent lottery, she would eliminate them immediately.
