Chapter 287 If it were you, at what step would you set the trap?
Meanwhile, the penniless Yu Xunge had already begun researching his new skill, "Reversal Moment."
She let Tulan attack her.
Immediately afterwards, she felt that she could change her and Tulan's various attributes at any time, even divinely bestowed talents and skills, as well as their health and mana.
However, you can only choose one term.
For example, if she changes the name of her divinely bestowed talent, the skill itself will not change.
However, she can choose to swap her own God-given talent [Skill 1] with Tulan's God-given talent [Skill 1].
If Black Jade's initial form was merely a "lucky slug," then his current divinely bestowed talent must have been acquired through countless calculations and schemes.
Furthermore, she discovered that this "Moment of Reversal" has a hidden condition, which is hidden in the name itself: the skill user must be in a vulnerable position when using the skill, otherwise the "Reversal" cannot be achieved.
For example, after being attacked by Tu Lan, she can use this skill on Tu Lan at any time. However, after she drinks Daughter's Red Wine and her attributes surge to far surpass Tu Lan's, this skill cannot be used on Tu Lan unless her health drops to a dangerous level and she is in a weak position, in which case [Reversal Moment] can be used.
Recalling the situation when Hei Fei was besieged by a hundred-man group, it was the same. At the moment he signed the contract with Yu Xunhuan, Hei Fei was in a disadvantageous position overall, which is why he was able to switch his name with Yu Xunhuan's.
Regardless, it was another problem solved. Yu Xunge rarely cooked for the cats in the backyard herself; she hadn't cooked in a long time.
Tulan went to the backyard to call the cats to gather, and she even let the cats go to the sensor tap to wash their own dishes.
Yu Xunge stirred the meat soup with a ladle. The sounds of the baby dragon and the cat playing in the backyard made the room even quieter. Hearing Tu Lan's laughter, she took out two bear-shaped biscuits to recharge. She reviewed every moment since meeting Liang Pozhou in her mind, thinking about what to do next.
Although Liang Pozhou was telling the truth, what he knew might not be the whole truth.
What exactly is inside the giant whale? If the trap is inside the whale, since Miyas was able to plan ahead, why didn't he set the trap directly in the ship's cabin? Was it because the presence of the dragon scales would affect his plan, or was the whale, a corpse, also part of the plan?
Liang Pozhou's role is certainly not that simple. For example, why is it necessary to use dragon scales?
Yu Xunge took out the box of Miyasi and opened the auction house to try to list it.
The auction house displayed the following information: [A giant whale containing a large number of treasures and artifacts].
Not only that, she also found a message popping up from the auction house that the item was abnormal and could only be kept in the auction house for a maximum of 8 days and 17 hours after the 48-hour listing period ended.
Will it disappear in 8 days or something?
Yu Xunge frowned as she tried to hang Liang Pozhou, who was in a box, on the auction house.
There's not much information about the timing this time, but they're still selling it?!
Yu Xunge carefully put away the two boxes of Lao Deng. She did want to find a dungeon related to Miya Si, but as a fellow thief god, Miya Si would never be high-profile. Finding the true story of Miya Si among hundreds of thousands of dungeons was as difficult as climbing to heaven.
Several steps seem to be fine, but upon closer inspection, each one could be a trap.
Tu Lan sensed Yu Xunge's emotions, put down the cat, and flew in: "What's wrong?"
Yu Xunge murmured, "It's going too smoothly. Don't you think everything is going too smoothly?"
Tulan exclaimed in surprise, "Was this really that easy? It took a lot of effort just to find the Siren's writing on the fishing boat, not to mention finding the Mind Catcher, and then you noticed Liang Pozhou and Miyas's traps time and time again, obtained the dragon scales, and captured Miyas's remains."
It certainly sounds like it went through a lot of twists and turns.
There are clashes, there are "rewards," and because she sees through tricks time and time again, her heart will be filled with a sense of accomplishment without her even realizing it.
However, these are the things that are most effective at numbing the mind.
It's like a game designed for her, where every step brings something new.
Just as she once suspected that Liang Pozhou's lack of flaws was the biggest flaw, she now also suspects Miyas.
A siren royal, a siren royal who successfully stole dragon scales from the dragon race, his schemes unfold like a script, full of ups and downs, tensions and relaxations. The interconnected clues and doubts, the cunning old man who can turn back time and read minds, the entanglement between the Liang family and her...
Countless threads converge and intertwine, each step potentially concealing a trap, captivating her entire being.
But what kind of trap is one that the enemy can easily spot?
"Should I use [Mind Catcher] again to play Truth or Dare?"
Tulan's voice seemed to come from a very far place.
Think about it, Yu Xunge, think about it carefully. Think about yourself. If it were you, what would you do? At what step would you set the trap?
For those of you who have attracted the [Thief God] talent, would you gamble on such an elusive kind of luck in something so important?
Would you dare to hand over the most crucial link to someone else?
No, she won't. She will definitely hide the trap herself in the most easily overlooked place.
It's hidden in the safest, most harmless, and even most unsuspecting part!
Hide before the prey realizes it is the prey!
Hidden at the very beginning of everything!!
Yu Xunge, with her arms outstretched and supporting herself on the edge of the table, slowly opened her eyes.
—Good Will Hunting!!
When all information is unclear, that is when her guard is at its weakest!
The most "wonderful" thing is that there were no tests or obstacles in the process of obtaining the Mind Catcher.
For Yu Xunge, who was unaware of Miyas's purpose and identity at the time, it was just an "ordinary person's" tomb. It could be connected to the sea monster, which is why there were strange objects there, but theoretically it shouldn't have too many Zelan elements.
If it weren't for Black Jade's arrival on Blue Star, and her search for a solution, she, who had only been a player for less than two years, would inevitably have relied on the seemingly omnipotent [Mind Catcher]. Who would doubt a strange object without its own mind and thoughts?
Even her "first step" was made possible by Good Will Hunting!
Yu Xunge placed the prepared meat soup in the backyard, and then, with Tu Lan, they once again went to Liang Pozhou's grave invisibly.
This time, she began her search from the outer perimeter of the cemetery, taking nearly five hours. Finally, she discovered a clue inside the relief sculpture behind Liang Pozhou's tombstone! When she broke the relief sculpture, several metal magic runes fell out.
Metal slammed onto the floor tiles, and the boot landed on Yu Xunge's heart, just as expected.
She didn't know much about runes, as runes were mostly knowledge used by professions like enchanting and sewing. After leaving the cemetery with the runes, she drew them all and posted them anonymously on the game forum, asking everyone what they were.
Before she even got home, Yu Xunge had already received the answer.
