Chapter 31 Taking a Gamble
As August drew to a close, Yu Xunge had watched the beginner and intermediate alchemy videos for the seventh time. On this day, she realized that she hadn't done anything; she had only watched alchemy videos for a few hours, yet her alchemy experience had increased. Although it only increased by 1 point every few hours, it had increased nonetheless.
Yu Xunge began to refine the basic magic potion again.
Then she realized that things were indeed different. Unlike before, when she meticulously followed the videos to concoct potions, she was now much freer when she was making potions. Yes, she was free. Sometimes she could even deviate from the steps in those videos.
Although the potion she made was no different from the original version, she had a feeling that at this moment she had truly stepped into the door of alchemy.
In the early morning, Yu Xunge transformed into a goblin, crafted three gold coins, and then went to sleep. She hadn't been going to Su Yitong and Liang Yuchuan's house to steal gold lately; she wondered if it was because her attribute values were getting lower and lower—she hadn't gotten anything even after a month of trying. She couldn't possibly spend every night under someone's bed, drinking medicine and stealing; she didn't need the medicine, and it was too wasteful. Basic healing potions were very valuable in the early game.
Yu Xunge simply stopped her wool-gathering spree, got a good night's sleep, and restored her energy so she could continue studying efficiently the next day.
But Yu Xunge's good mood came to an abrupt end at the beginning of September.
Because Yu Xunhuan moved to the same villa area, only 2 kilometers away from her villa.
Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo even invited her to have a housewarming dinner at the new villa. Goodness, this security booth is much bigger than hers!
The house was completely bare, without any appliances, and the meals were ordered from a restaurant and delivered.
Yu Xunge looked delighted for her younger brother. Before Yi Qiuguo and Yu Qingshan could speak, she said, "I'll take care of the home appliances!"
Is it just a little incentive?
She wouldn't be willing to give Yu Xunhuan anything in the game, not even Su Jinxuan's plain cloth belt, but millions? By next year, that price wouldn't even buy a single blue outfit. She'd get double back from Yu Xunhuan sooner or later.
She observed Yu Xunhuan's condition and found nothing unusual. She wasn't sure if Yu Xunhuan had contracted HIV; she had researched it and knew that the disease could have an asymptomatic period of several years, but she was still worried.
I'm worried, I'm worried that even three tubes of dirty blood wouldn't be enough for Yu Xunhuan to contract this disease.
But she was also relieved. It was better that Yu Xunhuan didn't know about this disease. If he had found out, how could she have let him pass it on to Su Yitong?
The premarital checkup was done before the engagement, but she injected Yu Xunhuan with the virus after the engagement.
Yu Xunge didn't deliberately avoid the dishes that Yu Xunhuan had picked up. Saliva isn't contagious, so although she would avoid them if she could, she would never let herself be exposed in such a small matter when she couldn't avoid sharing a dish with Yu Xunhuan.
After Yu Xunhuan discovers that he has contracted this disease, he will definitely be just like Su Yitong after discovering that she has lost her Soros mask and attributes, and will frantically doubt everything.
In less than a week, Yu Xunge hired a professional team to come to Yu Xunhuan's villa to take measurements and select home appliances.
She stopped showing herself, worried that the two silver coins were working together to get her to buy the best and most expensive ones.
So, the best and most expensive villa will be yours?!
Yu Xunge replaced the best furniture and appliances in his villa with the best ones. He then moved the usable appliances and furniture to his small apartment, and sold off the rest that couldn't fit.
She's spent most of her RMB, leaving her with a little over a million, enough for her to use until the game officially launches its invasion.
She still has 800 million in her Hong Kong account.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Yu Qingshan was so rich! Yet he managed to fool her completely with just five million!
After realizing that he would never be able to max out his Advanced Alchemy experience before the third closed beta test, Yu Xunge decided to stop pushing himself so hard.
She plans to spend the HK$800 million as much as possible in the near future. She doesn't need to worry about food, clothing, housing, or transportation. She also doesn't need to think about houses with dungeon entrances for the time being, as two entrances are already the limit of what she can protect.
The dungeons can refresh at any time, but the rules faced by the alien races inside vary depending on their size. In smaller, low-level dungeons, low-level alien races can leave the dungeon and arrive on Earth as long as they survive for more than 24 hours. In more complex dungeons, the survival time requirement for alien races is longer, ranging from 3 days, 7 days, 30 days, or even several years before they can enter reality. The more powerful the alien race, the stricter the requirements for entering Earth.
Many dungeon entrances were only exposed because they went undiscovered for a long time, allowing alien races to enter Earth.
Gold? She saw that there were still 1,473 gold bricks left, weighing over 10,000 jin. She could only wait until the next closed beta test to look for the goblins in Bloodmoon City, or at worst, she could only wait for the goblin merchant.
It turns out that having too much money can also bring troubles.
The profits from stockpiling various medicines or special raw materials are not great, and she does not intend to profit from the national crisis. After all, this is a war for the entire planet. She cannot be selfless, but she also cannot do something as unethical as dragging the country down.
Since we can't hoard goods and sell them at a higher price, there's no point in making this little bit of money. We might as well go to a few more cities and sell gold bricks to goblins.
After much deliberation, Yu Xunge decided to make another trip to Hong Kong. She wanted to buy weapons—ancient and well-maintained bows and crossbows, or the best firearms available on the market. If the game were to invade and cause any mutations, she would make a profit.
HK$800 million is less than 3,000 jin of gold. Even at an exchange rate of 180g to one gold coin, 3,000 jin of gold is only a little over 8,000 gold coins, enough to buy famous bows and guns, at least dozens of them.
In his past life, there was a legendary weapon that came from a weapon collector. After the game invaded, a knife that he would polish every day mutated into a top-tier weapon with three attributes. The equipment requirements were rare; only the attributes were required. Once the attributes met the requirements, the weapon could be equipped without any level requirements.
He refused to sell even when a guild offered him 3,000 gold, which is already an astronomical price for a level 20 legendary weapon.
The Su family had also wanted to buy it, but were refused. However, not long after, Yu Xunge saw the knife in Su Baige's hands.
After telling the Yu family the plausible reason that he was going to Hong Kong to find players, Yu Xunge flew to Hong Kong that very night, found a broker, and asked him to keep an eye out for famous swords, bows, crossbows, and top-tier firearms.
She even used the Soros pocket watch to examine the other party and confirmed that the broker was an ordinary broker, not the kind with divine talent.
If 800 million were used to buy raw materials such as herbs, cloth, and fur, it would pile up to the point that she would have to buy a special warehouse to store them. However, it could be exchanged for weapons and top-of-the-line firearms with historical or storied value that are linked to antiques.
Spending 800 million yuan is like spending 8,000 yuan.
She bought three famous bows and five crossbows, spending a total of HK$100 million.
After news spread that a major customer who collects bows and crossbows had come to the port city, Yu Xunge stayed for another week and gradually collected another 15 bows and 21 crossbows.
In the end, a total of HK$500 million was spent to buy 21 bows and 27 crossbows.
Perhaps due to her exceptional luck, she also managed to purchase two meteorite pistols, which were the weapons she had been most looking forward to. Although she had never heard of pistols that mutated into top-tier weapons in her previous life, she couldn't possibly know everything, and smart people always keep good things to themselves.
Furthermore, many weapons have level requirements after mutation, and leveling up in this game is slow, so you might not be able to use the mutated weapon immediately, and it's also possible that it won't be discovered by others.
