Making Extra Money with [Wheel of Fortune]

The weather was nice today. Yu Xunge rarely skipped going out to handle serious business. Instead, she hired a cleaning lady to come over and give the house a thorough cleaning. While she was at it, she personally washed the Ten-Thousand-Cat Slayer cat bed. During that time, she not only checked whether the cleaning lady was a player, but also hid her own shadow inside the woman's shadow to keep watch.

After all, she had too many secrets now. If the woman had been sent by someone else and planted a surveillance camera or something in her home, she would be exposed.

Yu Xunge felt that the paranoia she had developed while fleeing for her life would never be cured in this lifetime. She instinctively suspected everyone who approached her. But she loved that paranoia to death. Her only regret was not buying a cleaning skill. Then she would not have needed to invite a stranger into her home.

Although she did not know what this cat bed would ultimately bring her, it had been capable of developing a pet hospital into a small faction in her previous life, and it was even an S-rank item. Yu Xunge had already made up her mind: once the game invaded and this cat bed mutated, she would immediately bind it with a Binding Stone.

It was only 100 gold.

As she aired out the cat bed, seven or eight cats lay sprawled in the backyard, basking in the sun.

She used to be busy every day. Even when she sat dazed in the backyard, she was usually sorting through her thoughts. She had never had the mind to observe these cats, only a vague impression that cats constantly came and went through the backyard, with none of them staying for long.

But today, she realized she seemed to have seen two of these cats before... either in August, or when she had still been living in the thirty-million villa. In any case, she had definitely seen them.

One was a fat tabby with four snow-white paws, while the other was a fat black-and-white cow cat.

She silently memorized the appearances of the two cats.

The cleaning lady spent the entire day tidying the house. Yu Xunge did not want too many people entering her home, so she had hired only one person, but she paid generously. She gave her ten thousand to clean and organize the entire villa. It was a big job, and many cleaning ladies had competed for it. One day of work here was better than half a month at someone else's home.

Yu Xunge checked the place over and found it truly spotless. She paid without hesitation and saw the cleaning lady out.

However, she declined the woman's request to add her on WeChat and said nothing about hiring her again next time. She would definitely find someone else to clean the house next time. Using the same person every time made it too easy for someone to bribe them.

The experiences of her previous life were her most precious asset.

She had barely seen the cleaning lady off when she received a message from Su Yitong on VX.

The young mistress's time was precious, so she got straight to the point without even exchanging pleasantries. She asked whether Yu Xunge was willing to make money using her God-given skill. Every time she used her God-given talent to do something for the Su Family, they would pay her one million.

Yu Xunge was not surprised that Su Yitong had sought her out. Back when she had voluntarily offered to use this skill on Su Yitong's wedding day, she had intended to make money from it.

There was no reason not to earn this money. The economy would not collapse for another half a year or so, but she was unwilling to make enemies for the Su Family, nor was she willing to become a thorn in other people's eyes.

[Yu Xunge]: I only accept jobs that raise someone's luck to the maximum of 10. I won't accept jobs that lower luck to 1.

She did not even mention the intermediate values from 2 to 9. The greatest use of this skill was to harm people or help people, wasn't it? Who cared about those middling numbers?

Su Yitong understood what she meant as well. Trying to buy a shield for one million was far too cheap. She readily gave her a time and said she would send someone to pick her up that day.

Yu Xunge was not worried that Su Yitong was making an empty promise. The Su Family was reliable in this regard. The more they considered someone one of their own, the more readily they paid. Even if they planned to suppress someone in private afterward, that was another matter. But business was business. As long as someone worked for the Su Family, the Su Family would definitely provide compensation. They would not be so petty that people started thinking that, after becoming one of the Su Family's own, they could not earn anything at all.

Yu Xunge deliberately cleared half a day for the appointment. At the agreed time, a Su Family car stopped outside Yu Xunge's villa complex. After getting in, Yu Xunge discovered that Su Yitong was there as well. While chatting, she tactfully gave her advance warning. "I can modify luck values, but luck is not fate. There are many things that luck alone cannot change."

Su Yitong nodded. "Don't worry."

She herself had gone from Luck 10 to Luck 8, so she naturally understood the subtle difference. Her life had not changed drastically because of it. Everything still went smoothly, and she still got what she wanted. Yet it was no longer as effortless as before. If quantified, when she wanted 1 in the past, she would end up with 1.5 or even 2. Now, if she wanted 1, she would only get 1...

She wanted to tell herself it was all psychological, but once luck had been quantified, some things could no longer be lied away.

Their destination was a private room in a restaurant. After pushing open the door and entering, Yu Xunge's expression remained calm, as though she did not know or care who the people in the room were. Even though, in her previous life, this woman had taken countless opportunities during their sparring sessions to stomp on Yu Xunge's face beneath her feet and humiliate her.

Su Yitong pointed at a buzz-cut young man seated beside Liang Yuchuan and told Yu Xunge to use [Wheel of Fortune] on him.

Yu Xunge asked nothing and cared about nothing. She extended five fingers toward the young man and closed her eyes. A few seconds later, she said, "Done."

The buzz-cut young man looked at the Luck value on his status panel, now changed to 10, and gave Liang Yuchuan a slight nod.

Yu Xunge also smiled and nodded at the group before preparing to leave. Su Yitong did not try to keep her. She stood at the private room door and had someone send Yu Xunge home.

The transfer notification arrived the moment she got into the car.

And while in the car, Yu Xunge once again sensed someone divining information about her. It was still that buzz-cut young man.

She sneered inwardly. So House Liang and the Su Family had joined forces?

House Liang and the Su Family had indeed joined forces. Not long after Su Yitong's wedding, House Liang and the Su Family held a secret discussion.

The Su Family was shocked that someone had infiltrated House Liang and chopped off half of Liang Yuchuan's arm. House Liang was even more shocked, because not only had the youngest daughter of the Su Family's third branch had an ear chopped off, a large number of gold bricks had also been stolen from the Su Family treasury.

This was awkward.

When the Liang family members arrived, no matter how rational they were, they still harbored a trace of displaced resentment deep down. Perhaps the Su Family had offended someone, and that person wanted to use House Liang's hand to retaliate against the Su Family. That was why they had infiltrated House Liang and chopped off Liang Yuchuan's hand. But then—well, would you look at that—the Su Family had not fared any better.

The Su Family members were feeling rather conflicted as well. Although Su Yitong had been injured, she had only lost one ear. Her hearing had been affected, but it was nowhere near as serious as losing half an arm. If she covered it up, no one would even notice that she was missing an ear. As for the gold bricks, it had hurt badly, but the Su Family had deep pockets. They would not be crippled by losing this little bit of stock.

Family scandals should not be aired in public, but although House Liang had come under the guise of discussion, if the Su Family failed to offer an explanation, then based solely on Liang Yuchuan's claim that she had seen Su Yitong as the culprit, House Liang could use it to make trouble for the Su Family.

The two families looked at each other in silence.
