Chapter 256 [Divinely Gifted Talent] Best Supporting Actor (Grade B)
Yu Xunge spent most of the day in the library, occasionally taking out a cup of "Time Can Always Be Squeezed Out" to shorten the cooling time of "Jia Lai". Although it was not as convenient as "Melting Time", the situation was not critical at the moment, so she could save "Melting Time" by using quantity.
When she heard Tu Lan's voice in her mind asking if she was coming back for dinner, she was surprised to realize that it was already 11 p.m. on Blue Star.
Yu Xunge put away the book and walked out, but the further she walked, the emptier she felt inside!
She's been so well-behaved all day! She's pretending right now, and before coming here she said, "I really don't have time to shower." She feels empty inside if she doesn't stir things up.
After telling Tu Lan in her heart that she wouldn't be going back today, Yu Xunge turned around and walked to the library's information desk. She took out a mahjong set that she had customized on Blue Star and handed it to the elderly Oak Owl standing behind the information desk: "Good night, hello. I found this while I was reading."
The old owl smiled and took the mahjong tiles, placing them into a transparent box beside him. Inside were various odds and ends: fallen owl feathers, fallen bear biscuits, and all sorts of lost items.
After handing over the mahjong tiles, Yu Xunge turned and left, seemingly just a simple owl who had found lost items and turned them in. But as she left the library and walked onto the street, she squeezed into a crowd of owls, seized the opportunity to transform into a small bird, and quickly spread her wings to fly back to the roof of the library, looking into the library through the window.
Owls and various alien races kept passing by the information desk. She waited patiently. Turning into an animal was equivalent to interrupting her disguise skill. She had to wait for the cooldown time to end before she could disguise herself again. She had drunk a lot of potions in the library before. Now she still had 3 hours left for her cooldown time. She planned to wait for those 3 hours to pass before doing anything else.
While staring at the library, Yu Xunge kept recalling and organizing the various intelligence and information he had collected that day.
When the disguise skill's cooldown ended, Yu Xunge still didn't find anyone showing any unusual expression towards the mahjong tiles. Without lingering, she spread her wings and took off, turning into an alley. When she came out, she was once again the little oak owl named Cookie, with the scarred little bear biscuit hanging from her waist.
She used the teleportation array in Midnight City to reach the southeast gate of Midday City. Once outside the city gate, she teleported directly to the sky island where she had encountered the Fogblade. She found the general store, where the owner was still the same oak owl who had tried to buy mahjong from the orc for 5 gold coins. His name was Vanilla.
When Yu Xunge first saw this boss, he noticed his talent – [Best Supporting Actor] (Level B).
[Divinely Gifted Talent] Best Supporting Actor (Grade B)
【Skill 1】Sworn to Follow: Select a powerful person and regard them as the goal you want to follow. Never betray them until the end of their life. From then on, every time you collect the item that they desire most, you will randomly copy a skill from that powerful person. The more precious the item you collect for them, the more advanced and perfect the skill you copy will be.
[Skill 2] Fate's Plaything (Passive): When you lose or miss an extremely valuable item, you will become incredibly lucky for the next 30 days. The god of fate will favor you and help you obtain an item even more valuable than the treasure you missed. (Note: Use this luck with caution; overuse may make you increasingly unlucky.)
With this talent alone, Vanilla would be willing to do everything in her power to collect dominoes for the big shots, and those powerful figures would entrust him with the task with peace of mind—of course, what his fate would be after the task was accomplished is another matter.
If she remembers correctly, she snatched the 40,000 [card] that Vanilla was about to get here on September 20th.
It's now the early morning of October 18th on Blue Star, 28 days have passed. She couldn't help but think of this guy named Vanilla while she was in the library.
She had reason to suspect that the owl had probably overused its luck, and that's why fate had brought it upon her... otherwise, why would she keep thinking about this strange owl for no apparent reason?
Considering the purpose of her trip, Yu Xunge took out the tortoise-shaped jade stone before entering the shop and threw a gold coin on it. When she dug out the mahjong tiles at the bottom of the sea, she realized that wealth is not just about gold coins; all valuable items are "wealth".
The moment Yu Xunge stepped into the store, she immediately used the "Happy Again" buff on Xiangcao, changing its luck to 1. She walked to the counter, took out the mahjong set she had customized on Blue Star, and asked timidly, "How much do you want for this?"
The shopkeeper, Oak Owl, remained expressionless, but his eyes suddenly sharpened. He reached out impatiently to take the domino, but Oak Owl dodged it first. This dodge actually made Oak Owl more alert.
Vanilla hesitated for a few seconds, then withdrew her hand from mid-air: "...Never mind." After a pause, she added, "Come back in 3 days, and I'll buy it at a higher price."
Vanilla's reaction not only did not disappoint Yu Xunge, but also delighted her. The more cautious he was, the more it meant that he had probably already obtained the treasure. He was only pushing away the dominoes that were being offered to him because he was worried about the backlash of fate.
Moreover, judging from Xiangcao's pained expression and his words, Yu Xunge could tell that the shop owner in front of him, like himself, clearly knew the value of these dominoes, but without touching them, he was unable to distinguish between real and fake.
Take Yu Xunge for example. The four dominoes she has in her hand, each with its own origin, have no information or text descriptions. But this ordinariness is precisely their greatest special feature.
In contrast, the mahjong set she customized on Blue Star displays a gray text line that reads "[Miscellaneous] Mahjong" when held in her hand. Furthermore, mahjong sets of the same material can be stacked in her inventory, while the dominoes from Zelan cannot be stacked. These are the differences.
The easiest way to tell the difference is that a real domino cannot be broken even with an A-level skill.
However, for her, all of these identification methods could only be discovered after she handled and played with the object.
Unlike the previous [40,000] card, which not only instantly attracted the Fog Blade, but also caused the latter's brows to relax as soon as she took out her backpack, this card showed that the Fog Blade could instantly determine the authenticity of the card without even touching it.
Yu Xunge gripped the mahjong tiles tightly, her expression no longer showing the timidity and clumsiness of before. Her face was calm and composed as she said in a low voice, "I won't sell. I want to trade. What does your master want you to collect for her? The Bamboo or the Characters tiles?"
Vanilla suddenly looked up, staring blankly at the little oak owl in front of her for a long time before suddenly asking, "Where did you buy those bear-shaped biscuits you're carrying?"
