Chapter 47 Someone Came to the Door
Although everyone has tacitly refrained from touching her, and even Su Yitong hasn't considered announcing that she belongs to the Su family, it's because this skill isn't very useful at the moment. It's like a metaphysical master going around bringing wealth to people; people value it but don't really take it seriously, like a trinket.
But things changed after the game was compromised.
If a faction consistently obtains items worth 30% more than other factions after each dungeon run, even if it's only 10% more, over time they can leave their opponents far behind.
Currently, players aren't earning enough money, so her price isn't high. But as players become more skilled and earn more money, the price of her skill will inevitably increase.
She either has to not use it, or she has to strike a balance and let those powerful forces balance each other out and reach a tacit agreement that no one should touch her.
Since she needed to maintain a balance, she couldn't be too greedy. If she dared to demand a share of the final profits from the other team's investment, she wouldn't survive more than three days. But if it was too cheap, she wouldn't be willing to accept it. She admitted that no matter how restrained and cautious she was, she was essentially a greedy person.
However, this problem is easy to solve; it just depends on whether her talent has been spread...
Just then, she received a call from security guards, saying that two people were looking for her, and that they claimed to be the people she had played games with on October 10th.
The security guard's tone was very strange; he probably didn't expect that someone living in a big villa would engage in the kind of online gaming and real-life dating thing.
Yu Xunge understood; it was a player.
She wasn't afraid. Since the other party had come to visit formally in broad daylight, whatever their purpose, at least they were showing goodwill. She had someone bring them in.
The visitors were a man and a woman, dressed casually, but judging from their posture and demeanor, they were probably from the team. She led them into the house and sat them down, served them two glasses of water, and then got straight to the point and asked them what they wanted to do.
The woman with the ponytail said, "Hello, my name is Zhao Shuying, and we are government employees."
Upon hearing that the person who arrived was an official, Yu Xunge thought to himself, "Finally, the wait is over!"
She already had the answer to her problem! How to find a balance? Just find something stronger to restrain it, right?
Yu Xunge nodded: "What a coincidence, me too."
Zhao Shuying was amused by Yu Xunge's lame joke and laughed for no apparent reason, but her expression relaxed a bit. She had been worried that the other party was the type who would become arrogant after getting a lucky encounter, but now it seemed that at least on the surface he didn't have much hostility towards the authorities: "You definitely understand what I mean."
Yu Xunge seized control of the conversation: "You need my divinely bestowed talent and want to cooperate with me?"
The word "cooperation" made the man with the buzz cut feel a chill. What they wanted was not cooperation, but to recruit people. Cooperation meant equality, profit sharing, and payment for every use. But he also knew that moral blackmail was the dumbest approach. Moreover, the idea that this game might be the beginning of an alien invasion was just speculation, and there was no concrete evidence to support it.
Wu Qingbai couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, then asked, "Miss Yu, haven't you thought about serving your country?"
Yu Xunge: "I paid my taxes."
Wu Qingbai: "".
Zhao Shuying chuckled again, cleared her throat to calm herself down. She and Wu Qingbai had talked to at least 800,000 players recently, and Yu Xunge was neither the best nor the worst in terms of attitude, but she was definitely the calmest.
Upon hearing their identities, he showed no excitement or resistance, no sense of superiority, but also no fear or trepidation; he was a resolute person.
Zhao Shuying immediately abandoned all the rhetoric she had prepared and asked directly, "Miss Yu, how would you like to cooperate?"
Yu Xunge said, "I can use the Gear of Fate four times a day to modify a person's luck value. I am willing to sell you three of those spots. I don't care how you use them, or who you cooperate with or talk to. However, I can't stay here every day. I think you can also track my whereabouts. After I retired from the entertainment industry, I like to travel except for attending classes and training."
Instead of offering a solution, Zhao Shuying asked, "What about the price?"
Yu Xunge set an exorbitant price: "3 gold per time." And she would raise the price even more as players leveled up and earned more.
Wu Qingbo: "This is considered high income, and you have to pay 45% tax, I mean, every time."
Yu Xunge: "..."
Zhao Shuying: "..."
Yu Xunge picked up his coffee cup: "It's getting late. Get out of here now! Get far, far away!"
Zhao Shuying grabbed the water glass in front of Wu Qingbai and shoved it into his hand: Shut up!
Zhao Shuying started to bargain: "This price is too expensive. Although there are many of us, you've played this game before and you know how hard it is to earn money in it."
Yu Xunge: "God-given talents are all kinds of strange and wonderful. It's not necessarily true that some people are good at making money." She wasn't just saying it casually. Although she had never seen them, there are gods of food, gods of thieves, and gods of water. Why can't there be gods of wealth?
Zhao Shuying remained calm. Even though Yu Xunge had guessed correctly, she didn't reveal any flaws. There were a total of 520,000 players in the official game, and naturally some of them had divine talents related to making money. But those were just A-level talents, not money-printing machines!
The price of 3 gold coins per run is too expensive. Besides, they do have players with a lucky 10 score, although there are only two...
Next, Zhao Shuying and Wu Qingbai took turns persuading Yu Xunge to lower the price, with one being firm and the other gentle. Every now and then, Wu Qingbai would deliberately do something silly to ease the atmosphere, showing that they were old partners and veteran actors.
Yu Xunge hadn't cared about this at first, but the other party's determined attitude finally piqued her curiosity: "Could you tell me why you need my talent so much? Scientific research? International affairs?"
Zhao Shuying and Wu Qingbai shook their heads, their attitude clear: they could not say.
Yu Xunge couldn't even read any information from their faces.
Even though she occasionally went to raid dungeons with behemoths like the Su and Liang families in her past life, she didn't know much more than the average person. She only knew about many things from the news, such as the closed beta test time and number of participants, and ordinary items that had undergone mutations... She had no way of knowing the real inside story.
So what exactly is it that makes this group of people need her divinely bestowed talent so much?
Scientific research may require a bit of luck, but what is reliable is a brilliant mind and a long research process; it does not require long-term collaboration.
International events? Hmm, even more outrageous.
Therefore, it can only be related to games.
Crafting equipment? ...Dungeons?
She even went a step further, wondering if someone had a way to enter the game.
Yes, who said there were only three closed beta tests? And who said you couldn't enter the game after the closed beta ended?
In her past life, the official power always crushed the major families or conglomerates. Could it really be just because of righteousness and numbers? She didn't believe it! Not to mention others, just look at Su Baige and Liang Yuchuan's uncle, he probably dreams of becoming a king.
Yu Xunge's heart was beating faster and faster, and her eyes were getting brighter and brighter. She sat up straight and stared at the two people opposite her.
Wu Qingbai & Zhao Shuying: "..."
Don't do this, I'm scared.
