Chapter 236 [Speaking on the toilet] (D)
Naturally, Tu Lan had to be brought along for the meal, but before settling the profits, Yu Xunge had to do one more thing.
As their relationship grew closer, Tu Lan stopped hiding things from Yu Xunge, big or small. On the way back from City B, Tu Lan, bored, told Yu Xunge all her skills.
One of the skills was particularly interesting. It was a skill that Tu Lan learned after becoming addicted to the internet on Earth. When Yu Xunge heard about it, he thought, "That wicked... no, that's right, my mind started working like crazy."
【Speak on the Big Slot】(D): After use, you can create a virtual character. It is a real existence and has the most basic information of a player, but it cannot be upgraded, has no thoughts, and every move it makes needs to be controlled by you. Duration: 24h.
Tulan usually uses this skill to create virtual characters to take the blame for her.
For example, she would team up with this virtual character to play games. She would often want to let loose while playing, but she knew rationally that this was unwise and would easily attract criticism. At this point, Tulan would make the virtual character speak.
"Hey Tulan, are you going to unleash your ultimate move or not? Charge!"
"Does the mage even know how to play? Are you still using tactics? This isn't a game where you can win just by unleashing your ultimate!"
"Laughing Mouse, you don't know that you can unleash a powerful attack when the energy bar is full, do you?"
"You, Tu Lan? You're not trying to ride on the coattails of that cute, charming, beautiful, and powerful ice dragon on the pet ranking list, are you?"
At this point, Tulan will say in his real body in a childish voice, "You're talking nonsense!", and then unleash his ultimate skill...
At this point, all the teammates would criticize the virtual character, not Tu Lan.
Even if someone uses their divine talent to find out the real information of a virtual character—which has become a gray industry after game intrusion, where you can find out who your trashy teammates are for just 1 silver coin—they won't find out about Tu Lan.
Tu Lan, a dragon who now has an idol image to maintain, has remained pure and innocent from beginning to end; no one knows just how incompetent she really is.
Yu Xunge had witnessed this skill many times, but she always thought that the phantom was a skill similar to her ability to create shadows, something she created to accompany her in the game, so she never asked about it. Who knew there would be such a big surprise.
Yu Xunge hadn't been collecting her skill crystal rewards because she was worried about the wealth rankings. She couldn't very well just grab a handful of gold coins from her bag in front of everyone, could she? And it certainly wouldn't be a small amount.
If she takes the money and the amount at the top of the wealth list fluctuates in the same way, there is a risk of being discovered—it's useless to put it with Tulan, since Tulan belongs to her. Even if she puts her money with Tulan, the money still belongs to her, and the amount on the wealth list will not change.
Her original plan was to transfer all her money to a safe place before settling her profits in one lump sum, and then transfer it back after a while. However, this was not a safe option, as many people would be eyeing the top spot on the wealth list.
She was certain that there were suspicions within the Special Affairs Bureau that she was actually at the top of the wealth list...
But with the Tulan skill, she doesn't need to go through all that trouble anymore.
This is a perfect opportunity to "clear her name." As long as she and the top-ranked anonymous person appear on the wealth list at the same time, even if the Special Affairs Bureau hears Kirby's story when they go to the goblins to exchange for gold coins, they won't associate it with her.
When Yu Xunge left home, he had Tu Lan create a phantom image, renamed it Anonymous, and put 81,600 gold coins into a box and handed it to that Anonymous.
The wealth ranking remained unchanged, and Yu Xunge, who only had 88 gold coins left, canceled his anonymity setting on the wealth ranking.
According to Tulan, she can always sense the status and location of this virtual character.
Yu Xunge had the alt account take the gold coins and hide in the bedroom safe, then scattered a circle of spider silk around it before taking Tu Lan out.
While stuck in traffic, Tulan heard that she had met the Moon Queen of the Moon Fox Clan on her way to Zelan, and regretted that she hadn't gone with her.
Yu Xunge asked curiously, "Are you very interested in the Moon Emperor?"
Tu Lan: "That's right, the Moon Emperor! Oh, you don't know, although in Ze Lan everyone usually talks about the 12 Holy Clans, and the top experts of these 12 Holy Clans are all equally strong, we generally divide these 12 Holy Clans into three classes. The Moon Fox Clan, Oak Owl Clan, and Undead Clan have higher status and power than the other 9 clans. They are the upper-class Holy Clans."
This was the first time Yu Xunge had ever heard of such a thing. She had no idea that there was such a classification system. She had been to all 36 main cities, and they were all about the same size and level of prosperity. At most, one could say that each city had its own style.
Just like the three main cities of the orcs and tauren, although they have tribal culture and admire nature and wildness, their tents are very luxurious, especially the tent where the city lord lives, which looks like a palace from a distance.
Yu Xunge asked curiously, "Then which of the remaining races are considered middle-class and which are considered bottom-class?"
Tu Lan hesitated for a long time before saying, "It's hard to say. Wind Scythe might be a bit stronger? But Elder Long said that the ranking has been changing all along. Moon Fox Oak Owl Undead has always been recognized as the leader, and its position is hard to shake. But I don't know why. He said he can only tell me when I have the ability to protect myself."
After sitting down at the restaurant, Yu Xunge told Zhao Shuying about the information Tu Lan had given her, only to find that the Special Affairs Bureau was also learning about this for the first time.
Like Yu Xunge, Zhao Shuying did not ignore this casual conversation as unimportant information, but chose to report it immediately.
After the food was served, the two began to eat and talk.
Yu Xunge first asked, "Do you know why blank crystals are controlled so strictly?"
Zhao Shuying said, "I don't know either. I only know that the regulation was issued from City B. I'm still asking my friends in City B, but the people I asked said it's hard to say."
Not knowing what concerns the people in City B had that prevented them from making it public, Yu Xunge didn't blurt out what Lu Qieyun had told her. She only wanted to test whether Zhao Shuying was deliberately concealing something. She changed the subject:
"It's not even October yet, but I'm telling you about the method of exchanging gold for gold coins two months in advance. The condition is that I end the cooperation on skill crystals early and will no longer sell the skill crystals for 'I'm so happy again' to you. I don't even want to pay for September's anymore. The blank crystals I owe can be deducted directly from my earnings. By the way, I want to settle the earnings from skill crystals today."
