Meteorite Desert Eagle

The genuine Meteorite Pistol was made by an American firearms manufacturer using a meteorite estimated to be 4.5 billion years old. There were only two in the world, each priced at as much as four million US dollars. Many wealthy people could not buy one even if they wanted to, because both had been donated directly to an American museum after they were made.

But where there was demand, someone would make it.

Meteorites might be rare, but they were not nonexistent.

Through a broker, Yu Xunge bought a Meteorite Pistol from a wealthy businessman who had spent a fortune having it custom-made years ago. One alone cost sixty million, with no bargaining allowed. Back then, he had been obsessed with firearms, and obtaining the meteorite alone had taken enormous effort. Meteorites were far more expensive than gold!

Not only that, he had needed to hire a professional craftsman to customize it, because he did not want a model. He wanted a real, usable gun identical to the original Meteorite Pistol. On top of that, it was customized—the Meteorite Pistol had been made into his favorite Desert Eagle, chambered for the .50 AE cartridge, with the most awe-inspiring ballistic performance and stopping power.

The only downside was the small magazine capacity. One magazine held only seven rounds.

The wealthy man had been a little reluctant to sell, looking as though he might change his mind at any moment. He could not even understand why he had suddenly wanted to sell it.

He required Yu Xunge to buy both guns together, because they were a pair.

A cherished possession was priceless. Even though the price was far above the guns' actual value, Yu Xunge paid without hesitation.

The Meteorite Desert Eagle was gray-silver all over. The meteorite's unique texture paired with the Desert Eagle's rugged shape, and Yu Xunge fell in love with it at first sight. More importantly, she had a crafting recipe for this ammunition in Engineering.

After returning to the hotel with the case, she immediately stored them in Magician's Dentures. Though the man had emphasized that the meteorite's radiation was very weak, all Yu Xunge could think of was the wealthy businessman's bald head.

She had learned Engineering. Even if she probably could not max it out before the third closed beta, she could still maintain firearms without any problem.

She had spent 620 million on bows, crossbows, and guns alone.

After being introduced to someone, she spent nearly another two million to commission ten thousand arrows of various types, fifty thousand bolts of various types, and seven thousand rounds compatible with the Desert Eagle.

They refused to make any more.

With the last hundred million or so, she bought some swords, shields, and other bladed weapons.

Aside from the Meteorite Desert Eagle, the rest added up to sixty weapons. She had sixty identical weapon cases custom-made and stacked them in her backpack.

As long as a few of those sixty weapons mutated, she would not lose out!

Even purple weapons might not sell for the sky-high price of three thousand gold, after all. Such things had tiers. A level-ten legendary weapon and a level-twenty legendary weapon could differ in price by several times. But these items were scarce commodities. Even if you could afford the price, people might not be willing to sell.

Although Yu Xunge spent most of September in Harbor City, she had not neglected Alchemy. She handed the trivial matters to the broker and only needed to review the information he summarized and brought to her, then inspect the weapons. If she liked them, she paid and completed the paperwork.

Every time she acquired a weapon, she drove around by herself for a while. By the time she returned, the weapon would be gone. The broker knew his place and never meddled in matters that did not concern him.

She treated stockpiling weapons as a way to relax her mind, and her Alchemy experience actually rose faster, from five points a day to seven.

But it was still not enough to catch up before the third closed beta.

Speaking of the closed beta, the third one would be on October 10, while Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan would hold their wedding on October 18. Yu Xunge could only marvel at them. As expected of the male and female leads—they got engaged a few days before the second closed beta, then married after the third closed beta ended.

So the game was the witness to your happiness, huh?

Yu Xunge resolved to make sure Yu Xunhuan missed the third closed beta as well.

On October 1, Yu Xunge hurried back to S City.

The first thing she did was give Meow Meow Inn an extra meal. While she had been away these past days, she could not cook, so she had placed automatic feeders beside the cat beds. The food was not as tasty as what she made herself, but it was still premium cat food.

After putting the meat broth she had made for the cats on the ground, she sat on the back courtyard steps and watched a calico and a tabby fight over the food.

Though she had not seen the cats bring her anything after all this time, she had gradually come to regard entertaining them as a way to relieve stress. Whenever she needed to think, she often liked to do so while watching unfamiliar cats.

Now that Yu Xunhuan had moved into a villa complex, outsiders could not come and go freely. Su Yitong had encrypted Yu Xunhuan's phone, so the method from the second closed beta no longer worked.

Few people knew that Yu Xunhuan had moved. Even when his good friend Ye Dong came to S City, Yu Xunhuan had only lent him the small apartment he used specifically for work. He had not brought Ye Dong back to the Yu Family like he had in her previous life, so he could not easily shift the blame onto someone else.

After considering it from every angle, Yu Xunge decided to first establish an alibi for herself during those days. She could use Phantom Shift anyway. A basic mana potion restored sixty mana, while [Coffee That Never Runs Out] restored five hundred mana.

With her mana pool, which had risen to two hundred as her Intelligence increased, as a foundation, she could go anywhere as long as she could endure it.

Of course, that was only in theory. She was not sure whether her body and mind could withstand it.

On the night of the 4th, she went to the Yu Family villa. It was supposedly Yu Xunhuan's villa, but Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo had both moved in as well.

She said that she wanted to visit Border City soon. They were already used to her running all over the world lately, but that was not why Yu Xunge had come. In a serious tone, she said, "I found out when the first closed beta was—it was February 2. The second closed beta was on June 6. Several other players and I suspect that if there is a third closed beta, its date should be similarly special. There was no sign of a closed beta on September 9, but after that, October 10, November 11, and so on—there could be a closed beta at any time on those special dates. On those days, you must keep your phone with you twenty-four hours a day, understand?"

Yu Xunhuan was deeply moved. For the first time, he felt the faintest trace of sibling affection for Yu Xunge. It was not just Yu Xunhuan—Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo felt the same way. Their daughter might be stingy, but when it came to major matters, she was truly generous!

Yu Xunhuan nodded solemnly. "I understand." Holding Yu Xunge's hand, he said sincerely, "Thank you!"

Su Yitong had not told him anything. He did not believe the Su Family, with such enormous influence, could not gather this information... yet Yu Xunge had specifically come to warn him as soon as she learned of it.

Yu Xunge patted Yu Xunhuan's hand. "If everyone in our family becomes a player, you'll have more confidence in the Su Family! Remember, do not harbor even the slightest wishful thinking. There's only one such day each month. Don't slack off, and don't get all mushy with me! I'm leaving."

Yu Xunhuan escorted Yu Xunge all the way back to her villa before leaving.
