Chapter 591 A Skewer of Grilled Meat & Long Time No See, Little Brother
One task after another awaited Yu Xunge's attention; he hadn't stopped working since returning from the old blacksmith's place.
She first used up 6 points of luck to make two skewers using the [One Skewered Barbecue] skill.
One of the dishes used ingredients from Restaurant No. 1, and Tu Lan was called back to spray some ice and fire before the grilling was completed.
The other string of dishes used the finest ingredients available at the winery.
In the end, I got two skewers of "Mysterious Skewers" with the exact same name, and the item descriptions only indicated their rating.
The former is a two-star delicacy, and the latter is 91 points; neither explains what effects it will have after consumption.
Yu Xunge ate a skewer made from ingredients from Restaurant No. 1 and received a notification that her movement speed increased by 0.5%.
The second skill cost is reduced by 0.05%.
The results vary greatly, but even with just ordinary grilled skewers, the results aren't actually that bad.
Although it was far inferior to the rare fruits she had eaten on Dragon Island.
The key point is that this is a buff that can be repeatedly obtained, and Yu Xunge only consumes some luck points that do not actually affect her own.
Her current luck is 10 (+9), and she can make 3 skewers with random buffs every 7 days!
Over time, even the most ordinary grilled skewers could bring her huge profits.
Yu Xunge used the ingredients from Restaurant No. 1 to make another skewer of grilled food. After eating it this time, the skill cooldown time was reduced by 0.3%.
Including the fruits she ate on Dragon Island, her skill cooldown time has been reduced by 8.3%.
She didn't even have the idea of reserving 3 points for renovation. If she really wanted to renovate, why couldn't she use some of her original luck?
With the skill "A Skewers of Grilled Meat", she didn't want to let the extra luck points go to waste.
After finishing making the skewers, Yu Xunge did nothing else but used the Illusion Spell to become invisible and went to the Su Family Manor.
Tomorrow she will obtain the Black Jade, and she must get her hands on the [Reversal Moment] completely.
She had not forgotten the contract between Hei Fei and Yu Xunhuan.
She used to worry about the visions she had seen through divination, fearing that her actions would cause the situation to spiral out of control.
But now... as she grows stronger, her mindset has also changed.
She wants what she desires immediately.
Even if this makes the situation uncontrollable, she has the ability to handle it.
Since the scene predicted by the divination is bound to happen, nothing she does will affect it, right?
The invisible Yu Xunge flew around the Su family manor for a while, but did not see Hei Fei. She quickly found the people she wanted to see: Yu Xunhuan, Yu Qingshan, and Yi Qiuguo.
It's been so long, my brother, my dad, and my mom.
The three of them were doing the same thing: they were sitting on the lawn of the manor, sunbathing.
The table was covered with fruit and snacks, and although the clothes he wore weren't official gear, they were neat and presentable.
Yes, although Dinghai realized his attitude towards his family and locked them up here, he would not mistreat them.
After all, they are related to Yu Xunge by blood. Yu Xunge can deal with them, but Dinghai cannot go too far, lest Yu Xunge regrets it in the future and directs his anger at Dinghai.
Clothes and food are not expensive, just a few gold coins. This way, you can avoid offending either side and leave room for maneuver whether you advance or retreat. This is Dinghai.
Moreover, there is black jade here, and they can naturally enjoy the food of black jade as well.
However, the three of them presented three completely different states.
Yi Qiuguo was quite content, still chuckling to herself while holding her phone, just like any ordinary middle-aged person enjoying her retirement life, only missing the chance to get a dog or a cat.
Yu Qingshan was slightly less impressive. His brows were furrowed with frustration and sorrow. He had a bottle of wine beside him and an unlit cigarette between his fingers as he stared blankly into the distance.
Like Lao Deng, who lost all his family fortune in the stock market in his middle age, he couldn't believe reality. Every day he tried to recall which link went wrong. He felt that life was meaningless and he wanted to die but didn't dare to.
As for Yu Xunhuan...
Yu Xunge almost mistook Yu Qingshan and Yu Xunhuan at first glance.
He wasn't much younger than me, but his hair was already half white. He lay there in the sun, his pale snake scales shimmering, his whole body exuding an aura of death, as if he had already stopped breathing.
For an ambitious person, there is no more terrible punishment than this.
All the players are getting stronger. In the chat channels and game forums, they discuss equipment, talk about skills, brag about how many alien races they killed that day, and share their dungeon-running experiences and tactics...
Those C-level gifted individuals who were once beneath his notice are now ahead of him.
The announcement about the wine delivery repeatedly mentioned that name that was extremely similar to his.
For a time, he disliked the similarity, but as time went on, the similarity between the names diminished.
In the past, when people heard Yu Xunge, they might have thought of Yu Xunhuan, who once appeared in the top 100 of the ranking list. But when that name became Zaijiu Xunge, no one talked about the name Yu Xunhuan anymore.
He started with an SS-level divine talent, but now he can only stay here and rot here.
There are no dungeons, no equipment, and no space for him to realize his ambitions and aspirations.
He forgot which day it was—he was forgetting dates more and more frequently—he overheard the player who brought Black Jade back saying he envied the family of three for having no worries about food or drink and being free from danger.
He asked them, "How about we switch?"
The player fell silent, staring at him with a mixture of shock and anger, as if he had uttered a particularly wicked remark.
He has become an ordinary person who can't see a future.
Even if he levels up, he will lose 5 attribute points.
The exact number, neither too much nor too little, wouldn't make him completely despair and give up, but it certainly severed his hope for improvement.
When he suggested going out with Black Jade to level up, all the players' reaction was: What are you even doing?
What's the point of leveling up if you're just wasting experience points?
Hei Fei pulled him back into the house: "I'm busy with important matters! Don't cause trouble."
Yes, even Black Jade has something important to do. He's currently working for Dinghai, earning gold coins and magic potions, and getting stronger and better every day.
And every day he opens his eyes, he watches himself get worse and worse.
The curse left him without food or warmth, and even the last vestige of meaning in his life was taken away from him.
The question he thinks about most every day is why he's not dead yet.
The second most pondered question was whether the person who cursed him was Yu Xunge or Su Yitong.
The third question is... why does Yu Xunge hate himself so much?
