Chapter 65 Unhappy
Yu Xunge watched as the three siblings smiled and tried to change the subject while raising their glasses to toast her. She sighed inwardly. Before coming, she had thought that by bringing up the official channels, she could maintain a semblance of peace with them, but she couldn't help herself. She had overestimated herself.
However, she felt a sense of satisfaction seeing the three Su siblings clearly extremely unhappy but having to suppress it.
What's even more satisfying is... Yu Xunge glanced at Yu Xunhuan, who was sitting next to her pouring wine for Su Yitong. In her past life, Su Yitong would take her anger out on her whenever she was unhappy. For a while, she even suspected that she was Su Yitong's son-in-law.
But considering the God of Cookery's innate skills, she suspected that Su Yitong's emotions had been transferred onto her by Yu Xunhuan. So, with Su Yitong so unhappy today, Yu Xunhuan was probably in for a treat.
The situation is such that everyone has broken off relations, but they've only made a small opening before covering it up again.
It has a few cracks, but it's not beyond repair.
Everyone started chatting and laughing again.
Although this kind of banquet wouldn't involve Yu Xunhuan, who was practically the host, cooking, Yu Xunge still didn't dare to eat much. She only ate a couple of bites throughout the meal. After exchanging a few polite words, Yu Xunge left. Before she left, Su Yitong, perhaps to make up for the unpleasantness at the dinner table, not only sent someone to take her home but also delivered a whole carload of things.
Although she didn't suffer any loss today, Yu Xunge was still unhappy, and if she was unhappy, she would cause trouble for the Su family.
However, this really requires finding someone to cooperate with.
She planned to make a fortune from the Su family using green-grade equipment that would soon be obsolete in the early stages, thus depleting some of the Su family's gold reserves. Although she believed the Su family likely had connections on Zelan Star, they might not have as much start-up capital as she did to acquire the equipment…
She rushed back to reality for this very reason. No matter how well the Su family inquired, only a select few knew that she had exchanged 200g for 1 gold coin. As long as she acted early, she was confident that she could exchange less than 1 gold coin of excellent-grade green equipment for 1 jin of gold from the Su family.
Moreover, these belts were all carefully selected by her.
After the game officially invaded on February 22nd this year, a machine in a factory near S City that made belts mutated. The belts it produced were all excellent-grade green equipment with +2 strength and +1 agility, which were extremely useful for players of level 0 to 2. The machine was directly requisitioned by the official in the form of profit sharing, and a large number of green belts were produced to supply domestic players to get through the most difficult period in the early stages. In less than half a month, the price of waist equipment was directly driven down.
Even if production can't keep up with demand for a while, knowing that there is a fixed output, everyone will naturally prioritize buying equipment for other parts, especially players in S City, who are in a prime location and have the least shortage of belts.
During those months, the highest price for a green item of the same level was 1 gold, but a green item for the belt slot was only 40 silver.
Because the official belt is only 15 silver.
Yu Xunge bought 1,000 belts; her goal was to obtain at least 1,000 jin of gold from the Su family.
She couldn't help but sigh, "It's still faster to just grab it directly."
However, she doesn't plan to go to the Su family's underground treasure room anytime soon. She can think of countless ways to deal with these invisible players, and the Su family will only have more. Maybe that treasure room is now filled with electric fences, and you'll be paralyzed as soon as you land.
She knew that she could earn more by selling these items to the Su family a day or two after the game officially invaded the market. However, the Su family would definitely know about the mutation of items in the real world much faster than ordinary people. Who knew if they would also find out that the machines in the belt factory had mutated? Selling a thousand pieces of equipment would take at least a few days from initial contact to negotiation to the transaction. If it was even a little slow, the belt would be stuck in her hands, and she would lose the opportunity to set a trap for Yu Xunhuan.
She wasn't worried about aiding the enemy. By mid-March, most players who were obsessed with grinding dungeons had one belt, so everyone was essentially on the same starting line. This wouldn't give the Su family too much of a lead, but she could use this to give the Su family a push and get them to exchange for some gold. As long as the Su family dared to exchange, she would dare to snatch it away halfway.
Yu Xunge immediately used his phantom teleportation to the airport, found a plane to Hong Kong, transformed into a kitten, hid inside, took a nap, and after landing, he phantom teleported to the place he had been when he bought weapons. Then, he used his disguise skill to disguise himself as a 2-meter-tall strong man and found a Hong Kong player who was involved in organized crime. He asked him to help him sell equipment, and in return, he would give him three green equipment pieces.
The other party immediately agreed.
Yu Xunge then gave him Yu Xunhuan's contact information: "This is the buyer I found. He's rich and a player. His wife's family can afford 1,000 pieces of green gear. I'll pay one pound of gold for each piece, and anything over that is yours."
"Okay, leave it to me."
...
Yu Xunhuan didn't feel well after having dinner with Yu Xunge that day.
When Su Yitong gets angry, she doesn't yell or scream hysterically, nor does she deliberately pick a fight or yell at you. She considers herself a well-mannered and superior person, and she hurts you silently.
Yu Xunge made her unhappy, so she made both Yu Xunge and Yu Xunhuan unhappy.
As a result, Yu Xunhuan discovered in recent days that a lot of his information had been exposed.
Even after Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong got married, he didn't give up his career as a live streamer. It wasn't because he was career-driven, but because it was one of the few places where he could be in a position of power.
In the small live-streaming room, people would analyze the luxurious decorations in his background, praise his looks and his gaming skills, and even the water glass he picked up casually would be discussed and its price analyzed. No one knew about his physical disability, nor did anyone openly or secretly despise the disability that was a gift from God.
However, the wind direction has become strange these days.
He used his nickname when he was a game streamer and never revealed his real name. Even when Yu Xunge was a celebrity, he never tried to ride on her popularity. After all, the fact that Yu Xunge gave them money couldn't stand scrutiny, and he didn't want Yu Xunge to be called a "brother-supporting demon." It wouldn't be good if such criticism woke people up.
But now his real name has been revealed. Not only that, but information about him and Yu Xunge being siblings and him "marrying" into a wealthy family as a live-in son-in-law has also been exposed. However, no one knows which wealthy family it is.
This made him an overnight sensation.
But this kind of fire was not what he wanted.
Although times have changed and everyone is saying that being a kept man is lucrative, those who can't actually do it will only laugh at the wretchedness of those who are actually being kept men.
But in reality, these words meant nothing to Yu Xunhuan. He knew what he was after and had already prepared himself mentally before becoming a live-in son-in-law. What bothered him was the Su family's attitude.
She had inexplicably become much nicer to him before, but recently she has become cold again. Sometimes he felt like he was Su Yitong's pet for amusement, and his status was even lower than that of the Border Collie that Su Yitong kept—which was indeed the case.
Yu Xunhuan ignored the chat comments in the live stream, finished playing the game for the day, and ended the stream with a smile.
Just as I was about to close the software, I saw a private message in the background.
【4289359285】: Do you buy green gear from games? Do you know which game?
It was such a coincidence that he received thousands, if not tens of thousands, of private messages every day, but he just happened to see this one today.
Yu Xunhuan didn't find this strange at all. He was just that lucky. Moreover, ever since he started cooking and delivering meals to the brothers in the studio from time to time, he became even more successful. He secretly took a lot of things from the Su family to build his own power, but the Su family didn't find out.
According to his pre-marital plan, he intended to cooperate well with Su Yitong, using his good luck to help her develop her career and gain the trust of the Su family. However, Su Yitong never thought of telling him about this after entering the game, which changed his mind. He planned to first use the Su family's power to strengthen himself and gradually improve his status before cooperating with Su Yitong...
Recently, however, he has been struggling in the Su family and has no say in anything. Even today at the dinner table, he couldn't join in the conversation when they discussed games with his sister. If it weren't for Yu Xunge taking care of him and talking to him several times, he would have been like an outsider the whole time.
Yu Xunge stopped trying to close the software.
