Chapter 367 Renovating the Villa
After returning home, Yu Xunge went into seclusion again to refine the [Springtime Never Fades], [Gold Medal Assassin], and [Melting Time], while also using the power of lightning to ignite his orange-red wings.
She didn't have any free time until the morning of December 31st, when she planned to prepare New Year's Eve dinner for herself, Tulan, and the cats in the backyard.
The phone kept ringing with messages from the morning onwards.
Yu Qingshan, Yi Qiuguo, and Yu Xunhuan all had it. The first two asked her and Yu Xunhuan to go to City B for a reunion, and Yu Xunhuan directly took a close-up photo of Hei Fei and sent it to the group chat.
Yu Xunge then invited the two of them back to S City, but the two of them, whether they had infiltrated some organization again or were shamelessly going to find Shen Yushi again, simply said they wouldn't go back and would talk about it next year.
Yu Xunge finally had some peace and quiet. She began to decorate her villa. She had used up all 60 skill crystals. Although she had only ignited nearly 600 light feathers, it was enough for her to slightly modify and control some skills.
Inside the shielded water curtain, she used a lightning net to enclose the area of the villa except for the rooftop and backyard.
Once someone touches these lightning nets, they will quickly retract and imprison the intruder, inflicting paralysis and rendering them instantly immobile. Combined with the shielding water curtain, this causes double damage. If the intruder is lucky, they might be able to wait for her to return.
Aside from being slightly more expensive when it's created, it consumes 1 point of mana every minute it exists. Yu Xunge buried several mana gems beneath the lightning net, which store enough mana to sustain the lightning net for at least 3 natural days.
The backyard was within the protective area of the shielded water curtain, but Yu Xunge had Tu Lan erect an ice wall between the lightning net and the backyard to prevent the backyard cats from accidentally touching the lightning net.
She also placed a few mana gems in the wooden house in the backyard, so that when she wasn't around, the cat in the backyard could help bury them to replenish the energy of the lightning network.
But the lightning net was only a superficial defense; the real traps were inside the villa. She had set up various owl fruits, which would catch even ordinary owls if they entered. The strongest defense was still her second home—under the bed in her bedroom.
It was a trap at every turn, and Tulan was trapped several times before he finally remembered it.
After replying to those messages around noon, she started collecting money again.
First came an email from Liang Pozhou, containing his recent work report and over three thousand gold coins, which was the agreed-upon 20% of the Liang family's profits.
Just to be on the safe side, Yu Xunge took out more than three thousand gold coins from his pocket and threw them on the table while receiving Liang Pozhou's email.
She had initially thought she wouldn't need to remain anonymous, but now she realizes she'll have to stay anonymous in the future, otherwise it'll be difficult to collect these illicit funds...
She was genuinely shocked for a few seconds when she received the more than three thousand gold coins. Could it be that profitable? She had only started cooperating with the Liang family in early November, so these three thousand gold coins must represent 20% of the Liang family's earnings since the contract took effect.
What does this mean? The Liang family earned more than 15,000 gold coins in less than two months?
If the Liang family had always been this good at making money, even if they had to support a large number of people, they wouldn't have failed to make it onto the wealth list!
[Yu Xunge]: Who in your family is so good at making money? Are you or that Lady Yun Sheng?
[Liang Pozhou]: Of course it's my wife. I'm just a fisherman, and my wife is in charge of selling the fish. Her talent is that she's blessed with wealth. Haha, I told you, you won't lose out by making a contract with this old servant!
[Liang Pozhou]: If it weren't for the recent chaos at home, with the Minotaur hunting down members of the Liang family and having a bounty on their heads, keeping us busy dealing with them, we could have earned even more.
[Yu Xun Ge]: Hmm... It's nothing, the alien race is too wicked...
[Liang Pozhou]: Did my Yuchuan family cause you any trouble?
Yu Xunge stared at the more than three thousand gold coins in her hand and forcibly swallowed the accusation that welled up in her mouth.
[Yu Xun Ge]: No, she's quite lively.
[Liang Pozhou]: That's good, that's good! If she does anything wrong, just teach her a lesson.
[Liang Pozhou]: Lan Cheng is dead. He has completely disappeared from the game and is confirmed not to have been resurrected. Do you need me to send you his head?
[Liang Pozhou]: As for the Han family's businesses, the Han family has already run into trouble. We've already acquired their businesses in S City. Just let us know what you need.
[Liang Pozhou]: The information about Yi Chang was found by our Liang Sha. It was the pet of Commander Ding Haijun. The Commander had no children, and her husband was very sensible; he passed away early, unlike her husband, who she had to take care of herself... Ah, sorry, that's not the part... The Commander raised Yi Chang like a child, protecting it extremely well. We couldn't get any photos of it.
[Yu Xunge]: Very good. From now on, keep a close eye on Lin Chengze. Once he returns to S City and contacts Yu Xunhuan, notify me immediately.
He had handled all the matters that Yu Xunge had entrusted to Liang Pozhou. He had just finished talking with Liang Pozhou when he received a share of the profits from Dinghai, which was more than enough this time. The production of this potion had increased, and this share was more than four thousand gold.
In total, Yu Xunge got eight thousand gold coins in one go. She went to the backyard and found Tu Lan, who was sitting among the cats. She handed her all the money: "I'll return half to you first. The other eight thousand gold coins will have to wait for a while."
Tu Lan didn't refuse. She could feel that Yu Xunge genuinely wanted to repay the money, without a trace of hypocrisy or reluctance.
Although she wanted to tell Yu Xunge that she didn't need to be so calculating with her, Li Zhou happened to be there when she was talking to the Holy Grail about it. He grabbed Longya's phone and scolded her, telling her to just enjoy it!
Yu Xunge moved all the kitchen utensils and large pots to the backyard, arranged all kinds of high-quality ingredients and seasonings, closed the lightning net exit in the backyard and the door leading from the villa to the backyard, rolled up his sleeves—[Mischievous Kitchen]!
The twenty-odd cats were watching Tulan make toys, but once the kitchen was opened, they seemed to unleash their true nature and started causing a ruckus.
It would either run around on the makeshift stove or jump over the pot, and sometimes it would even paw at the steaming food in the pot with its paws. It was practically defecating on the chef's neck.
Yu Xunge's forehead veins throbbed with worry, fearing that cat hair would fall in and that the cat would be burned by the fire. He had to reach out to block it from time to time or take out one hand to pick up the cat and put it on the ground. In the end, even Tu Lan couldn't help but come over to "help" by handing over food and chasing the cat away.
The meal was a chaotic and sweaty affair, but the final result was a huge batch of eighteen dishes, with the highest score being 97 and the lowest score being 95.
She packed each dish into a clean food box and small plate, sent it to Shen Yushi, and gave most of the rest to Tu Lan, asking her to find a way to send it to the Holy Grail and the others.
Tulan wanted to play dumb, but after Yu Xunge handed her the food box, he set off for Undercity to deliver food to Hufflepuff and Little Machi.
This left Tu Lan with no chance to play dumb. She could only take out the large conch shell that Bei Sui had given her when she returned to Dragon Island last time and send back the food and the new toys invented after the game invasion on Blue Star.
