Chapter 30 Retirement
Yu Xunge was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes—she was holding back yawns because she was really sleepy: "Let's go home. I found someone who seems to be a player, but we haven't met. You might even know that person."
On the way, she told him what she had "found out": "It's not good to ask about these things openly, and everyone is keeping it a secret. We didn't actually meet the person we met this time. We were all on guard against each other. Later, I changed my approach and asked if anything strange had happened. Then I found out something."
"Do you know a game streamer named Yixue Zhidong? Has his gaming skill suddenly become really good lately?"
Yu Xunhuan's eyes lit up: "Yes, we are good friends and have known each other for a long time. Not long ago, we talked about him in our game group, saying that it was as if he had suddenly become enlightened."
Yu Xunge: "Well, later when that player talked to me, he also mentioned Ye Dong, saying that he suspected Ye Dong had some kind of voice-related skill. I watched his live stream replay, and every time he shouted something like 'Stand up, hold on, I believe in you,' his team would suddenly become very strong."
Yu Xunhuan: What the heck?
Yu Xunge explained, "I told you about divinely bestowed talents, right? Divinely bestowed talents are incredibly diverse. I can control a person's luck value for a short time, so other players might also be able to influence others with their voices."
On the way home, Yu Xunge left Ye Dong's matter to Yu Xunhuan and then ignored it. Yu Xunhuan is still an ordinary person now, but this time, the ordinary person in front of Ye Dong has changed from himself to Yu Xunhuan. It remains to be seen whether he can turn Ye Dong from a friend into a good brother.
Yu Xunge didn't let Yu Xunhuan see her off back to the small villa. She didn't like outsiders trespassing on her territory. She planned to sell the villa after a while and buy a small apartment where a dungeon entrance would appear.
Whether you trade resources with the official team or keep them for farming, it's a good option.
After having a meal at the Yu family's house, she declined Yu Xunhuan's offer to take her back to the villa and went home on her own.
Then I began to study in seclusion.
I can only say that I wasn't a top student before because I didn't choose the right major.
For the next period of time, Yu Xunge carefully and almost devoutly read through all the beginner and intermediate alchemy recipes. Each recipe was accompanied by a video of alchemy, and she tried her best to remember every move of the necromancer mentor.
After she finished watching all 400 recipes, including beginner and intermediate ones, she started watching them a second time from the beginning. She noticed that the female undead mentor in the video would occasionally say a word or two explaining something.
Yu Xunge: Teacher, you've aided the enemy!
Perhaps in the eyes of true scholars, there is no difference between Earthlings and races other than the undead. Just as goblins do not care about war and glory, but only about money and business, once their professional skills reach the legendary level, all they care about is the inheritance of their skills.
She didn't dwell on it, but cherished everything.
Occasionally, when I'm stuck in a dead end, I'll cook a meal for the cats outside. Meow Meow Inn truly lives up to its name; cats come and go, but none of them stay for long. A cat will stay for no more than three days. This villa area isn't without stray cats that reside there, but they only come occasionally for a meal and don't stay.
Although Yu Xunge likes cats, she has no intention of keeping one. She is too busy and has to go out to do things from time to time. Where would she find the time to keep a pet that needs to be taken care of all the time?
This kind of relationship is quite good. She only needs to cook more meat dishes with less salt and seasonings when she practices her cooking skills every day and put them outside. She can pet and cuddle different cats, but she doesn't have to take responsibility.
Open-ended cat ownership relationship.
The food prepared for the cat, although made with the most common meats in the real world, has a beneficial effect after consumption. Some of it increases strength for a short time, while others increases movement speed. However, it tastes very good, and both the cat and Yu Xunge like it.
Although the skills learned from the other world are taught little by little by playing videos in your mind, it is still quite different from watching videos and doing them yourself. After all, the former is directly projected into a person's mind, saving a reaction time and constantly reinforcing the memory.
In just six months, Yu Xunge went from someone who was not good at cooking to a master chef who was proficient in hundreds of recipes.
Once you understand one thing, you understand everything. Now, even if she doesn't follow the recipe, the dishes she stir-fries by herself taste pretty good, they just don't have any special benefits.
She hadn't eaten takeout in a long time because her own cooking was much better than what she bought outside. Moreover, some of the dishes had the effect of making her "more focused no matter what she was doing." Even though the effect only lasted for a few minutes, she found that her learning efficiency was higher during those few minutes. She could easily discover details in alchemy videos that she had previously overlooked.
Yu Xunge simply spent half a day baking more than a thousand cookies that could increase concentration, and learned while eating them.
In August, Yu Xunge took some time to return to the company to formally terminate her contract and then issued a statement announcing her retirement from the entertainment industry.
It's better for her to stay away from the public eye right now. What she told Yu Xunhuan before about Ye Dong being found to be abnormal wasn't entirely untrue. You see, people in Yu Xunhuan's game group are also discussing Ye Dong's changes, aren't they?
To the average person, this change might be nothing more than gossip, but for gamers, it's something they can quickly relate to in the game.
She suspected that Ye Dong's sudden move to S City to find Yu Xunhuan in her past life was probably because he had been discovered and wanted to find a friend he trusted to team up with.
The news of Yu Xunge's retirement from the entertainment industry caused a stir online for a few days. People dug up the fact that someone from her agency had died not long ago, and that her manager had also been involved, leading to speculation that she might have suffered some kind of harm.
Yu Xunge answered all the questions she could. It was one thing that she didn't care about these empty titles, but that didn't mean she was willing to bear a bad reputation for no reason and have people speculate about her doing something lewd.
"I'm fine, I haven't been hurt, I just feel tired and want to rest for a while and live the life I truly want."
"I didn't become rich overnight, nor did I marry into a wealthy family. I just calculated my savings, and it's enough for me to live on."
"Yes, the person selling the bag in the picture is me. I don't really like these things. I only sold them because of the requirements of my profession as a celebrity. Now that I've retired from the entertainment industry, I can naturally sell these things that I don't need anymore."
"If I were truly so short of money that I couldn't make a living, I wouldn't have left the entertainment industry. Thank you for your concern."
"The company is great, let's part ways amicably."
"I don't have a rich second-generation boyfriend, I don't plan to date or get married, I have no interest in spending other people's money, and my money is only enough for me to spend."
Yu Xunge spoke with self-righteousness, as if she wasn't the one who had recently robbed the Su family of their gold.
