Chapter 248 0/10000g (Moon Sand)

Speaking of which, the books she read about Hufflepuff were either her own autobiographies or recommendations written by her die-hard fans... I really don't know what Hufflepuff's real reputation is like in Zeeland.

For some reason, Yu Xunge felt a chill in his heart.

Looking at Rukia's "I want this treasure, I want it" attitude, she's practically a carbon copy of Hufflepuff...

Rukia wouldn't give it to her, so she could only get closer to observe. She discovered that the closer she got to Nagatsuki, the colder the watch on her chest became.

Yu Xunge calmly leaned over to look for a while, then sat back down calmly: "Why did you come to see me?"

Was it merely because Rukia suspected she was the petty thief who escaped unscathed from the Moonlake City Library? But that was a guess Rukia made after they had finished delivering the notes and started chatting.

And in the very beginning, it was Rukia who took the initiative to walk towards her, who was sitting in the corner.

Lucia chuckled and said, "I've already explained the reason. My potion tells me that you've been in close contact with moonlight."

Before Yu Xunge could ask further, she crossed her hands and rested her chin on them, looking up at the silver moon above the City of Polar Night: "Whether you recently came into contact with Moon Sand by chance or with those children of destiny, it means you are very close to what I want. Even if you can't get Moon Sand from Peach Crisp Moon Emperor's watchful eye in the end, you have a great chance of getting it through other means."

Child of destiny? Yu Xunge repeated the word involuntarily.

Lucia said softly, "Yes, many Holy Races mistakenly believe that the moon loves all living beings, but that's not true. It favors those beings that can change the world's order, and it will actively approach them to feel the power of destiny from them."

Yu Xunge: ?

What does this mean? She's the legendary chosen one?!

She touched the water droplets on the inside of the iced juice glass to wet her hands, then combed the cow hair on her ears and forehead in front of the glass window. Finally, she adjusted the nose ring she had customized on Blue Star. Yu Xunge, Yu Xunge, you should pay more attention to your image when you go out in the future.

Unexpectedly, Rukia continued, "However, fate can be good or bad, just like the legendary epics told by those bards. 99% of legendary figures have tragic fates... But if one's life is always smooth sailing, how can one be worthy of the word 'legend'?"

Yu Xunge's expression grew increasingly solemn as he listened.

Rukia sighed, seemingly lost in thought, and then looked away from the moon. She then noticed the Minotaur opposite her looking sorrowful and grave: "What...is wrong?"

Yu Xunge let out a long sigh. What else could she do? She had to take the place!

Even in the end, Rukia still didn't know why the minotaur's steps were so heavy as he left.

Surely you're not worried that she'll be the chosen one, right?

Hahahaha, how is this any different from someone who just started learning alchemy and was worried that if they lost their alchemy skills, Zelan would be plunged into darkness? Hahahaha?

Hmm... Could this minotaur be Hufflepuff, that brat?

...

After leaving the tavern, Yu Xunge didn't rush back. Instead, she went to a corner, took out the [Raging Moon] and looked at it, wondering if her sudden coldness earlier was due to some change.

Surprisingly, there really was one; a new description appeared at the very bottom of the three skills.

[A+ to S grade upgrade requirements: 0/10000g (Moon Sand)]

Yu Xunge put away her lantern and pocket watch, and looked at the distant clock tower whose spire seemed to touch the silver moon. Below the spire was the clock. When she came, she marveled that the hour, minute, and second hands looked like the Milky Way. Who would have thought that the three Milky Ways contained the moon sand.

This is awkward...

Criminals commit crimes when they have a strong motive. Well, now she not only has a motive, she has two!

Double hiss!

Based on the practicality of the skills [Planet] and [Time Walk], she couldn't possibly resist upgrading the irritable moon.

After Yu Xunge went into hiding again, she released Tu Lan. She still had half an hour left to disguise herself, enough time for her to go back and tell Hechpa before returning to Blue Star.

When she returned to Hufflepuff's Alchemy Shop and told Hufflepuff about it, to her surprise, Hufflepuff immediately grabbed her hand, looked at the bull's head with deep affection, and said excitedly, "I won't ask you to return those 10 bottles of Melting Time. When you do, bring some back for me too!"

Yu Xunge: Do you think I'm going downstairs to buy milk tea?!

Yu Xunge said helplessly, "It depends. If there are many, I will definitely let you study them."

Since we're going to make a move anyway, a little more won't make a difference.

After saying goodbye to Hedgehog, Yu Xunge went to the auction house again, but there were no S-level skills that appealed to her. Finally, she went to the herbal shop to replenish a batch of herbs she needed and then hurriedly returned to Blue Star to continue her seclusion.

With Rukia's guidance and her recent study and understanding of [Melting Time], she is confident that she can create a basic, or rather, a "failed" version of [Melting Time] in the next few days.

Yu Xunge only realized it was October 7th when she discovered she hadn't received any food from Shen Yushi for several days.

While having lunch with Tu Lan, she opened her panel and calculated that she had gained 19 more attribute points just by eating the food Shen Yushi sent her. Although it wasn't a 100% guarantee of triggering the attribute point increase effect, the 63% probability was still incredibly high. She wondered if other players had such a high chance of triggering the effect when eating Shen Yushi's food.

She had previously allocated 8 attribute points to Agility while fighting Black Jade. With the remaining 11 attribute points, plus the 6 attribute points she gained from leveling up from 8 to 9, she now had 17 attribute points to allocate, so she simply added them all to Agility.

She doesn't believe in the barrel theory; in her view, what she needs to do is maximize her strengths, and most importantly, her agility has finally broken 100.

Strength: 54

[Physical Constitution]: 53

[Intelligence]: 60+5 (from Fogstone)

Agility: 106

She turned off the panel and looked at the obedient little dragon eating its food. During the days she had been in seclusion researching, Tu Lan had been very well-behaved, not making a fuss. It would even take the initiative to clean up the dragon droppings for her so that they wouldn't get dirty by the cats in the backyard. Tu Lan was also the one restocking the vending machines upstairs.

Sometimes when Yu Xunge was busy and forgot to eat, Tu Lan would make her instant noodles. Worried that she wouldn't have enough to eat, she would add a side of flatbread and carefully place the full bowl of noodles in front of her with a sweet smile on her face. Yu Xunge couldn't help but think of a voice in her mind saying, "Mommy~ wash your feet!"

Thinking of all this, Yu Xunge felt a surge of tenderness for Hart and took out two hundred gold coins, placing them in front of Tu Lan: "Your allowance will be doubled this month!"

She is increasingly satisfied with Tulan now. She may be a little mischievous at times, but she never throws a tantrum or holds anyone back when it matters.
