Chapter 235 [Eight of Bamboo]
Mist Blade directly tossed Yu Xunge a gem, a notebook, and 11 bottles of perfume.
Yu Xunge carefully put away the gemstones and perfume, then flipped through Wu Ren's notebook for a quick check. She found that the first half of the notebook explained how to process herbs, how to extract their essence, and how to remove the unwanted parts from the essence. The last three pages explained how to condense these herbal essences into gemstones.
This is not just a simple recipe; it also contains a lot of knowledge. Yu Xunge suppressed her joy, put away her notes, and looked at Wu Ren, signaling her to continue.
Regarding A-rank skills, Mistblade only gave her one choice: "【Mist Arrival】, the ultimate skill of the Misttail Clan. After learning it, you can transform into a thick fog. The range of the fog is determined by your intelligence value. The fog is everywhere and very difficult to capture."
"All tracking skills will automatically lose direction when facing fog. Most single-target skills that attack fog will have reduced damage because hitting the fog is equivalent to only hitting a small part of your skin."
"This skill also has its drawbacks. Any area-of-effect skill will more or less counter this skill. Of course, all skills are the same. As long as the user is strong enough, there is no such thing as a counter. As long as your defense is strong enough, you can withstand those area-of-effect damages. This skill has no weaknesses."
Yu Xunge agreed to the skill without hesitation. Just like Fog Blade said, as long as you are powerful enough, there is no such thing as being restrained. Moreover, the advantages of this skill are too outstanding! She was very satisfied.
After Mistblade took out the skill book, Yu Xunge almost snatched it from her, and then handed the [40,000] to Mistblade Moon Emperor without hesitation.
For some reason, the Emperor didn't immediately turn the mahjong tiles over after receiving them. Instead, he tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and used his thumb to feel the characters on them. After he finished, he looked annoyed and unhappy.
Yu Xunge didn't waste any time observing. After saying "Happy transaction," she turned and ran towards the city of Polar Day. The thick fog hadn't dissipated, which greatly reduced her speed.
She should save the Escape Gem if possible; she'd never seen one at the auction house, and money couldn't buy it anyway. With the Fire Spirit Ring in hand, even if the Mist Blade really attacked her, she could withstand it before using the gem.
Mistblade Moon Emperor glanced at her retreating figure but didn't chase after her. The forces behind her were too complex, and she didn't know how many hidden hands she had. It was very likely that the dragons and minotaurs were just a smokescreen, because she smelled the scent of the undead on her...
Given the goblin's cunning and clever nature, since she chose to make a deal with her, she wouldn't reveal their transaction, much less dare to smear her. She took so much from her, how could she possibly explain it?
After running out of the dense fog, Yu Xunge hung the pocket watch back around her neck and teleported occasionally. While running, she also learned the [Fog Arrival] skill. She was only relieved when she saw the skill book given by Fog Blade turn into gray smoke.
After turning several corners and getting out of Mist Blade's sight, she used Illusion Spell and Phantom Teleportation to reach the teleportation array in the city.
Yu Xunge first took out everything she had obtained from Wu Ren—mahjong tiles, notes, two gems, and the ten bottles of perfume—and hugged them to her chest.
Then I sprayed myself all over with "I really don't have time to shower," even the soles of my shoes—using up "Springtime Is Not Too Late"—and put all of these things, along with the perfume that was only half left, away.
Once the gold coins were given, the person returned to As City and began to teleport towards the underwater volcano after leaving the city.
Once she was in the deep sea, she finally had the time to think about her new mahjong set – the Eight of Bamboo.
Two neat rows of acorns, four in each row, reminded her of the first mahjong tile she had stolen from Mistblade Moon Emperor, which was also a tile of the bamboo suit…
She took out the "Six of Bamboo" and the "Eight of Bamboo" and tapped them together. Why were all the bamboo tiles at Mist Blade Moon Emperor's place...?
Thinking back to the disappointed and annoyed look on Mist Blade Moon Empress's face after she got [40,000]... Haha, could she be trying to make a bomb or a three-for-one combo?
Looking at the dominoes in her hand, Yu Xunge's smile froze; she didn't even have a pair...
Now there are four dominoes in Yu Xun's singing competition:
I obtained the [Six of Bamboo] and [Eight of Bamboo] from Mist Blade Moon Emperor;
Thirty thousand coins were unearthed from the seabed.
The cat brought back 50,000 from its den.
It looks like a lot, but when you put them all together, they're nothing... And if it weren't for the magician's dentures, each one would take up a whole backpack slot, and they couldn't be stacked.
And only now did she realize what the system notification she received when she received the [40,000] was.
Her honor points increased by 10,000!
However, there are several other records, one showing an increase of 10,000 points and the other showing a deduction of 10,000 points.
This change was likely caused by her obtaining the "Eight of Bamboo" and handing over the "Four Thousand," which is worth 10,000 honor points, making her even more curious about the function of these dominoes.
Although there were still more than forty minutes left in the disguise, Yu Xunge did not dare to stay in Zhelan any longer. She took the time to reply to Zhao Shuying with "I don't know what happened" and rushed back to Blue Star as soon as possible. After finishing rubbing the gold coins, she glanced at the time and found it was only afternoon.
Taking advantage of the time she had to eat dinner, she opened the chat interface and found her secretary, Xiao Zhao.
[Yu Xun Ge]: Little Zhao, wanna go out for dinner? I have a big business deal I'd like to discuss with you.
[Zhao Shuying]: Old songs, what kind of big business is that?
[Yu Xunge]: ...I advise you to take back that incredibly tacky nickname. This business of mine is crucial because it's about me being able to tell you months in advance how to exchange gold for gold coins in Zelan.
[Zhao Shuying]: Sis, which restaurant do you like? Little Zhao will make a reservation right now.
[Yu Xun Ge]: …………
[Zhao Shuying]: Little Zhao is here, Little Zhao will always be here, please speak.
[Yu Xun Ge]: I still prefer your rebellious side.
[Zhao Shuying]: That's impossible! No matter how powerful I am outside, when I come back here, I will always be your Little Zhao.
[Yu Xun Ge]: Okay...okay...I'm getting goosebumps. You book the restaurant, we can talk about it when we meet. I'm not picky.
【Zhao Shuying】：Little Zhao is at your service ∠(°ゝ°)！
Zhao Shuying turned off the chat screen and decided not to hold the meeting. This tiny meeting of the Special Affairs Bureau's top donkey was better off not being held at all!
Why are they wasting their time discussing why the top of the wealth ranking suddenly has so many more gold coins? This question is meaningless; can people donate them? As for Yu Xunge's honor points, she doesn't want to say more. Can we force her to answer?
She stood up abruptly, ignoring the shocked and admiring gazes of the 16 group members who seemed to be saying, "Have you finally gone mad?", and said to Li Changying, who was sitting at the head of the table, "Yu Xunge contacted me, saying she could tell us in advance how to exchange gold for gold coins. We need to discuss it in detail. I'm sorry, this meeting can only end here!"
Li Changying's furrowed brows immediately relaxed: "Okay, go ahead and get busy. Don't waste time here. Go on, go on."
Zhao Shuying smoothed her hair, nodded and smiled at the 16 group members in the conference room, and left gracefully.
【We are the best donkeys in the Special Affairs Bureau】(17 people)
"Old Li's face changes really fast..."
I'm getting angry!
"Is her divinely bestowed talent called 'Come on, try and kill me'?"
"No, it's called elegance that never goes out of style."
"She shouldn't be a ranged attacker; she should be a tank. That taunt skill was used perfectly!!"
"That Zhao guy is so infuriating..."
"Should we kick her out of the group?"
"She's the group admin...she's the one who invited us in the first place..."
"That's all."
