Chapter 21: Revenge Daily, Satisfaction Daily

She focused her senses on several distinctive buildings, estimating her maximum teleportation range to be 10 kilometers.

Her current Intelligence stat was exactly 10, which affected all her magical skills. She assumed this range would increase as her Intelligence grew, but it didn't matter; couldn't she just cast her spells more frequently?

She opened her eyes and raised a hand—Apparition!

Yu Xun’ge appeared in Yu Xunhuan’s hotel room. The latter was still slumped with his head buried in his suitcase. To be safe, Yu Xun’ge cast her Steal skill on him.

—Skill failed!

Yu Xun’ge felt relieved and used Apparition again to leave.

She had to do one more wicked deed; otherwise, she wouldn't be doing justice to her own lingering anxieties about this piece of trash.

Maintaining her Disillusionment state, she appeared outside the Ai-Z Disease Control Center, waiting for the staff to arrive while checking her character panel.

Seeing that her "Thief of the God of Thieves, or Thief of the Bandit" skill remained usable, she was completely at ease. It was just a pity she couldn't use this skill in the game to repeatedly steal, die, and steal again.

Below her "God-Given Talent: Immortal," a new God-Given Talent had appeared:

【God-Given Talent】 Sharpshooter (A)
You were born for marksmanship. Every projectile weapon is an extension of your arm. The moment you pick one up, you can slay gods. A true sharpshooter doesn't need to be active; she is powerful even without doing a thing.

【Skill 1】 You Are Too Weak (Passive): During combat, you can keenly detect an enemy's weaknesses.

【Skill 2】 Guaranteed Critical —! (Passive): 7 is a magical number. Any shooting action related to the number 7 is a guaranteed critical hit.

【Skill 3】 I’m Getting Serious (Passive): As long as you aim at an enemy for more than 3 seconds, that shot is guaranteed to hit. Even if it is parried, it will strive to complete its mission until the weapon you fired is destroyed.

【Skill 4】 I Am Terrifyingly Strong Now: Upon activating this state, every arrow, bolt, or bullet you fire will randomly be imbued with Ice, Fire, or Lightning elemental magical energy. It consumes 10 Mana per second. Each activation and deactivation triggers a 5-minute cooldown.

Yu Xun’ge gasped. It really was "powerful without doing a thing." Four skills, three of which were passive.

None of them were useless. Skill 1 would help her fight better, and its utility remained regardless of whether she used a bow or gun.

Skill 2 meant that every 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th... any multiple of 7th shot would be a guaranteed critical hit. That was essentially a guaranteed crit every seven attacks.

Skill 3 went without saying—it was a homing missile.

Skill 4 was a burst-damage ultimate.

Yu Xun’ge didn't have a career plan yet, but this talent was so powerful that it would be a shame not to train it! Considering the noise of firearms was too loud, she immediately decided to find a bow or a crossbow to practice with.

***

Yu Xun’ge planned her skills and equipment in her mind while familiarizing herself with her new abilities. She also used her Soros glasses to observe passersby, hoping to spot new players.

She stood at the entrance until past 3:00 PM before seeing someone walk into the control center. She immediately followed. After confirming the person was a patient there to pick up medication, she swiped a syringe from a nurse and trailed the patient as he left.

Once he returned home, Yu Xun’ge hit him with a Stupefy spell and drew a syringe of blood from his body.

Thinking it wasn't safe enough—what if the male lead was just lucky enough for one syringe to not take effect?—she took out an empty Minor Healing Potion, pushed the tainted blood into it, and drew two more syringes.

Before leaving, she poured a bottle of Minor Healing Potion into the patient's mouth.

She could only replenish his health; curing diseases wasn't the job of a health potion.

In her previous life, after the game invasion, when people with serious illnesses had their bodies digitized, their illnesses directly affected their stats. Those with physical disabilities had lower health, and those with serious illnesses would constantly lose HP, with the rate of loss determined by the severity of the disease, as if they were under a continuous damage-over-time spell.

If they wanted to live, it was easy: keep drinking healing potions or be cured by a top-tier healing spell capable of treating terminal illnesses.

She looked forward to seeing Yu Xunhuan’s state after he was "gamified."

When she used Apparition to return to Yu Xunhuan’s room, he was already gone. Yu Xun’ge wasn't disappointed. She returned to her villa, placed the cat toys into the Meow Hostel, took a nice bath, and went to sleep.

She slept straight until 2:00 AM.

She got up, used her Disguise skill, cast Disillusionment, and, carrying the syringe, used Apparition to arrive back at Yu Xunhuan’s room.

Very well, it seemed that when the game beta wasn't active, the male lead actually went to bed early and woke up early.

She first cast "Wheel of Fate" on Yu Xunhuan to set his Luck to 1, then stepped forward to insert the needle into his vein. But every time she aimed the needle at his vein, Yu Xunhuan would feel itchy here or there.

She tried over a dozen times without success. Yu Xunhuan kept scratching his ears, his hair, his backside, and his toes.

He scratched every part of his body that he could reach.

Yu Xun’ge was numb: ...

Are you kidding me? Are you faking sleep?!

Seeing Yu Xunhuan’s eyelids flicker, Yu Xun’ge directly hit him with a Stupefy spell.

Yu Xunhuan’s head slumped to the side; finally, he was quiet!

This time, Yu Xun’ge steadily inserted the needle into the back of his hand and slowly injected the tainted blood into his body.

She gave him three injections in a row.

***

Ah, that felt good! Her thoughts were clear again!

Yu Xun’ge tried to use Steal on him, but the skill still failed.

Her brother was still an ordinary human.

That felt even better.

Don't be too "Ai," brother!

Yu Xun’ge returned to her villa satisfied. After destroying the syringe, she began to think about how to dispose of the severed arm and ear in her inventory.

She had originally intended to toss them to monsters in the game last night, but she hadn't had a moment of peace since entering.

Tossing them into a funeral home or a pig farm wasn't appropriate; no matter how wicked she was, she didn't want to involve innocent people.

Finally, she decided to find a place to burn them.

Strike while the iron is hot; she was still under the effects of her Disguise, so she shouldn't waste it.

Yu Xun’ge used Apparition to reach a beach she had visited during a film shoot. There was no one around at this hour. She took out the severed arm and the ear (after removing the earring) and laid them on the ground. She then pulled out ten packs of explosives, buried them, lit the fuse, and used Apparition to get a hundred meters away.

After the explosion subsided, Yu Xun’ge returned to the scene, piled up the scattered bits of flesh and bone she could find, and blew them up a second time.

Finally, carrying an iron bucket and a shovel, she scraped all the ash and charred chunks she could find into the bucket and dumped the lot into the ocean.

Satisfied.

Killing him outright would only be fun for a minute.

Taking revenge every day is fun every day.

She toyed with the earring as she stood by the sea, her mood exceptionally bright. This item was a key to a chain quest. Once completed, one could learn a top-tier healing spell that could cure any illness or disability and restore 70% of one's HP in a single cast. She had looked for that top-tier healing spell in the auction house before, but never found it.

Having ground part of her enemy into dust, Yu Xun’ge went home to sleep. She had already closed her eyes in bed when it hit her: Damn it, why didn't I just use Magic Missile?!

She had forgotten she was a mage!
