Training

Yu Xunge figured she shouldn't push them too far, so in the end, she finally surfaced.

[Yu Xunge]: Just tell me whether that bed is good or not?!

[Yu Xunhuan]: It's alright.

[Yu Xunge]: Right?! Good things and good news aren't that easy to come by.

Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo both asked what bed she meant.

Yu Xunge sent the bed's details to the group chat and said it was a wedding gift from her.

[Happy Qiuguo]: Are there any more? Mom wants one too, and your dad needs one.

[Depressed Qingshan]: ???

[Yu Xunge]: Do you think they're cabbages? They're ridiculously expensive, alright?! Dozens of gold coins! Just look at how much one gold coin costs outside right now, and you'll know how much this bed is worth.

Yu Qingshan had gathered plenty of information recently. Silver coins were already selling for ten thousand apiece, while gold coins had been driven to absurd prices.

[Depressed Qingshan]: I heard it takes a million to exchange for one gold coin, but I haven't heard of anyone actually making that trade.

[Happy Qiuguo]: A bed worth tens of millions?! Good lord! You could buy a house with that! You're stingy when you should be generous, but when you shouldn't be spending, you're this lavish!

[Yu Xunhuan]: @Yu Xunge Thank you, Sis~ If you find anything similar, help me buy it first. I'll transfer the money to you later.

[Yu Xunge]: @Happy Qiuguo Isn't this way more important than a house to a rich lady? Those who get it, get it.

Yi Qiuguo stopped talking. Even if she had kept talking, Yu Xunge had nowhere to get her another identical bed.

If only she had stockpiled a few more of those beds back then!

Once the auction house function opened after the game invasion, wouldn't reselling these beds make her a fortune?

After putting away her phone, Yu Xunge sat in a daze for a while. For a few seconds, she actually felt happy. Sometimes, she even wondered whether her previous life had been a dream.

If she hadn't endured the agony of being nailed to the ground and bled dry while waiting for Yu Xunhuan, if that book hadn't appeared in her mind as she lay dying, then even after being reborn, she would still have believed them.

What an ordinary, happy family. Her mother was impatient but easily satisfied, sometimes so innocent it was almost endearing. Her father was mild-mannered and good-tempered, treating his son and daughter equally. They gave all their savings to their daughter, and after she began earning money, their daughter repaid the family, giving money to her parents and her younger brother. Then her brother saved up his share and bought her a villa.

After the world changed drastically, her younger brother would often bring her, his older sister, along with the wealthy family's team to clear dungeons and kill monsters... Even when his wife's family hunted her down, he had risked himself to warn her.

In her previous life, she had been deceived by that false sense of happiness, which was why she had kept wronging herself...

Yu Xunge stared at the chat interface and only came back to herself after a long while. Then she suddenly realized that she had actually chatted calmly with that bunch of trash for so long. Sure enough, revenge made people gentle. When she had just been reborn, no matter how much she had told herself to endure, she simply couldn't manage a genuinely pleasant attitude.

After putting her phone into her game backpack, Yu Xunge went back outside to practice shooting.

She now wore a sports bra and a fitted tank top on her upper body, with long pants below. In her pocket was a shabby little four-slot bag containing two tubes of basic healing potion, a roll of emergency bandages that continuously restored health after use, and her phone.

Two thirty-six-slot bags, the potion bag, and all her other items were stored inside Magician's Dentures.

The most important item, the bound Soros Pocket Watch, hung openly around her neck, tucked beneath her fitted clothes and held in place.

Being bound and impossible to lose or steal meant that anyone touching the pocket watch could only feel empty air—unless they were its owner.

From the outside, people would only think she wore a silver necklace. Even if someone accidentally touched her chest, they wouldn't feel anything there.

Just as she was about to begin, she suddenly paused. The coach looked at her curiously, and Yu Xunge smiled, saying she had thought of something.

For an instant just now, she had sensed someone trying to divine information about her. Soros Pocket Watch had blocked them, but through the mist in her mind, she seemed to cross a galaxy spanning time and space and see the person attempting to divine her—a young man with a buzz cut.

After class, Yu Xunge went to a nearby restaurant to eat.

Whether it was because her Charm had reached its maximum or because she had experienced so much, her bearing was now even more captivating than before.

The unfathomable mystery of Thief God, the chill of Undead Immortality, the flamboyance and sharpness of the Sharpshooter, the warmth and approachability of Food God, along with her own restraint and madness.

Those different auras blended together, paired with her already exquisite, outstanding, gentle, and intelligent face. Now, whenever Yu Xunge showed her face outside, passersby would unconsciously follow her with their eyes.

In truth, she had felt this long ago. Even at Su Yitong's wedding banquet, though she had deliberately kept a low profile, people had occasionally stolen glances at her. But everyone there had either wealth or status, and believed themselves a cut above her, so they couldn't bring themselves to approach her at a wedding. Yet after the wedding, Yu Xunge had "disappeared." She was either attending class or going home to cook. She ignored unknown calls and friend requests from strangers.

Sometimes, even while eating, she could sense people secretly taking pictures of her.

It was simply unavoidable in this era.

And because she had left the entertainment industry and no longer had rivals, whenever news about her appeared online, people were offering genuine comments as ordinary passersby this time. Most were compliments, so she would occasionally become mildly popular again. But Yu Xunge neither responded nor hyped herself up. Her life consisted of practicing combat, practicing shooting, and eating. Slowly, the buzz died down again.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhengliu came knocking, wanting to work with her again and return to the entertainment industry together.

Yu Xunge had nearly forgotten about that bitch. She first investigated and confirmed that Liu Zhengliu was not a player, then unhesitatingly threw her out. While she was at it, she gave her a [Wheel of Fortune] and changed her Luck to 1.

The investigation into Liu Hongsheng's case was still focused on people who had conflicts with him. Even after the matter of the game came to light and Liu Zhengliu was completely cleared of suspicion, no one had turned their attention to Yu Xunge. First, Liu Hongsheng had not yet made a move against Yu Xunge at the time, so the two had no conflict. Second, Liu Zhengliu was still alive and well. Although she had been used as a pawn, everyone assumed she was merely a random scapegoat the killer had pulled in.

But if Liu Zhengliu died too, then that might be another matter.

Yu Xunge did not hire a teacher to teach her cooking. She had never been particularly fond of cooking before, and it was already unusual enough that she occasionally cooked because of the game's cooking skill. If she deliberately trained hard at it too, she feared it would provoke Yu Xunhuan's sensitive nerves. She had no intention of hiding carefully for so long only to expose herself over this.

Besides, the cooking videos included with the cooking skill were extraordinarily detailed. Many of the methods differed from real-world cooking techniques, so there was no need to find a teacher at all.

Recently, more and more cats had come to the villa's backyard to sleep and eat. Fortunately, it was autumn and winter now, so the cats were not too lively, and Yu Xunge's villa was in a relatively secluded location. No one had noticed.
