Chapter 159 Shocking! Why is this octogenarian woman acting like this!
Her heart tightened immediately. Just as Hufflepuff could tell from magical fluctuations whether someone was a human in disguise, this golden, glittering light of wealth was also a flaw, one that even disguise skills couldn't hide.
The anonymity on the wealth list only refers to the anonymity of her spouse; it does not mean that her wealth is also being hidden in the real world.
Moreover, the person at the top of the wealth ranking has far more gold coins than others, and it's hard to find another person at the same level... If we ever meet her in person, wouldn't we be exposed in no time?
Is this a divinely bestowed talent or a skill from a prop? Is there a limit to its power?
Without hesitation, Yu Xunge turned off the energy-saving mode of the Soros pocket watch and began to investigate Baozi's detailed information. He had been in a hurry to deal with Baozi before and hadn't had a proper look at him yet.
[Character] Bao Paijiu (Level 3, 2.783%)
[Race] Human (?)
[Racial Trait] Undead Will | Feeding
[Health Points]: 100/100
[Mana Points]: 150/150
[Strength]: 8
[Physical Constitution]: 10
Intelligence: 11
Agility: 17
[Lucky]: 7
[Charm]: 7
[Divine Gift] Know-It-All (Rank B)
【Skill 1】Really?!: All information, whether text or image, story or prophecy, can be verified by using this skill (this skill may fail if the information involves S-level or higher). Each use consumes 20% of mana and has a cooldown of 1 natural day.
[Skill 2] I swear to God: After using this skill, you can specify a false message. For the next 7 days, everyone will believe that the false message is true. Each use consumes 100% of mana. The cooldown time is 15 natural days.
As Yu Xunge walked with Baozi towards the corner of the restaurant, she read Baozi's information. When she saw the line about racial talents, she knew that Baozi had also participated in the closed beta test, and that he was an undead. She wondered if they had met in the city at that time.
Even after seeing this, she still had the leisure to exchange pleasantries with Baozi, saying things like, "The weather is really nice today," and "I found this place through a friend's introduction."
Having escaped together in her past life, Yu Xunge subconsciously regarded Baozi as an acquaintance. She even knew a little about Baozi's talent skills, and the latter had even used her talent skills to help her. As a result, she didn't bother to investigate Baozi's talent when she made a deal with her before.
Upon seeing [Skill 1], Yu Xunge was already a little worried. This was much more powerful than what she knew in her previous life!
If someone were to write, "Yu Xunge is at the top of the wealth list," could Baozi use her ability to verify the information to find out her identity? Could her pocket watch block such a skill?
After she finished reading the information about [Skill 2], she realized that she had worried for too long, because something even more terrifying was yet to come.
As soon as she finished reading [Skill 2], a layer of mist appeared on the skill description. Then the mist slowly dissipated, revealing the true information below under the scrutiny of the S-rank item.
【Skill 2】We're not familiar, but it doesn't matter: After using this skill on a target, you can hear their thoughts. The casting range of this skill is as far as you can hear. You can also guide the target's thoughts when using this skill. It consumes 1% of your mana per minute.
ah--! ! !
Yu Xunge's mind and soul screamed simultaneously!
Even more terrifying, at the same moment she saw this message, Bao Pai Jiu's blue bar percentage was only 97%, and at this moment it was slowly turning its head to look at her with a look of horror.
Baozi: Heavens! This old lady's heartfelt words were so halting and fragmented that it was one thing, but she finally managed to understand them, and then she realized that the more she listened, the more familiar they sounded! It was like she was reciting her own divinely bestowed talent skill!
The two of them simultaneously pointed at each other and then spoke at the same time.
Yu Xunge: "No way!!!"
Baozi: "Seriously?!"
The two gazed at each other silently; for that moment, time seemed to stand still...
It's hard to say for sure who should be more afraid at this moment.
There's a kind of thief who comes to scout a place, peeks through the crack in the door, and ends up meeting the homeowner's eyes—a terrifying and embarrassing experience.
Everyone wanted to scream for help.
The next second, the old lady moved!
The octogenarian woman, who had been walking unsteadily as if a gust of wind could blow her over, instantly tightened her core and straightened her back. She grabbed Baozi by the back of the neck with her right hand, forcing her head to tilt back. With her left hand, she quickly pulled a bottle of intermediate-level amnesia potion from her pocket, pried open the stopper with one hand, and then stuffed the potion directly into Baozi's mouth.
The whole process was smooth and fluid; in less than two seconds, a bottle of medicine was downed.
An eerie silence fell over the entire restaurant. Everyone stared at the scene with their mouths agape. A customer carrying a tray walked by and silently stepped back, protecting his spicy chicken wing set meal.
Shocking! Why did this octogenarian woman suddenly become like this?!
After confirming that the medicine had been administered, Yu Xunge put away the bottle and turned to run. Her gray hair danced in the wind, and her old legs, clad in cloth shoes, left a blur as she ran. In the blink of an eye, the old woman was gone.
Baozi was still hunched over and coughing right in the middle of the restaurant.
A few seconds later, she straightened up, looked up blankly, and found everyone staring at her: "What's wrong?"
The customer carrying the tray remained silent for a long time before trying to summarize: "There was an old lady walking with you, and then... you two suddenly started making eye contact? And then you both said at the same time, 'No way?' Finally, she jumped up... and fed you a bottle of medicine?"
Baopaijiu:?
After running out of the restaurant, Yu Xunge disappeared. She began to recall whether she had thought anything she shouldn't have when she last met Baozi and was asked to sell information to the Liang family.
Most likely not. At most, it's just a thought like, "This way they won't trace it back to me," since nobody thinks about their own name while doing so.
I was careless! I really need to develop the habit of probing the divine talents of everyone I meet from now on!
She had warned herself last time that she should always be able to detect the players’ talents, but with so many people she saw every day, she sometimes really did overlook them.
Yu Xunge secretly kept this lesson in mind.
She'd deal with selling information another day. She needed to find a way to hide her true feelings and a way to prevent others from knowing how much wealth she had. The latter, in particular, was a flaw she had never considered before.
Why does the "Concealment" ability of the Soros pocket watch only block divination...?
Good heavens, how many of her innermost thoughts were overheard by Bao Paijiu in her past life?!
Shameless! This skill is absolutely shameless!
She'll have it sooner or later!
After returning home, Yu Xunge removed her disguise skill and successfully dug the money box out of Tu Lan's arms. This dragon and Hufflepuff have the same problem: she is attracted to good looks. According to her, the reason she was willing to go with Yu Xunge in the first place was not only because Yu Xunge was strong, but also because she was good-looking.
When the money box was dug up, Tu Lan was still whining and complaining, wanting to keep it safe for her for a few more days.
Tulan rolled around on the bed: "Other people's owners entrust their things to their pets for safekeeping~"
Yu Xunge wasn't going to indulge her: "Acting cute won't work. We have an equal contract. You're not a pet."
Tulan rolled over and lay on its side, propping its chin up with its wingtip, and said plaintively, "You've changed. You used to say you needed me to protect you, and that I was your only friend. You even hugged me and lifted me up high, calling me a Chihuahua. Now, I just want to play with the coins and you yell at me. In the few seconds you took that box of coins, were you thinking about whether you hadn't lost a single copper coin, or whether your Tulan baby was lonely at home today?"
Yu Xunge: "…………"
