Chapter One Hundred Nineteen

If they had not happened to run into this today, Zhou Jingchen might never have noticed how terribly unlucky Yu Qian’s account was.
And if he had not noticed, her account might have remained cursed indefinitely, forcing her to spend far more than everyone else just to build it up properly.
As Zhou Jingchen had suspected, someone had tampered with Yu Qian’s account.
He first had Jia Le restore the account’s luck to normal, then told him to investigate who had interfered with it.
After hanging up, Zhou Jingchen sat there in a daze for several minutes. In truth, once they found the culprit, there was no need to ask. He could already guess that the reason behind it had something to do with him. After all, without him, no one at the company would have paid attention to Yu Qian, much less conceived of such an idea or acted on it.
When he came back to himself, he thought it over and felt fortunate that they had discovered it early enough. There was still time to prevent anything like this from happening again. If they had waited until later, when more unpleasant incidents had damaged the development of their relationship, it would truly have been too late for tears.
[Party] Deep in the Clouds: “Sweetheart, I’m back.”
[Party] Shallow in the Clouds: “What took you so long? You said ten minutes, but it’s already been half an hour.”
[Party] Deep in the Clouds: “Well... I went to the bathroom...”
He could not tell her the truth about this. Otherwise, he would be finished.
[Party] Shallow in the Clouds: “...All right, then! Can we roll for Ice now?”
Knowing that it would take some time to restore her luck, and that her account was still just as cursed as ever, Zhou Jingchen did not want to sabotage his future wife’s account.

[Party] Deep in the Clouds: “Give them to me. I’ll roll them for you. Leave the refining to me as well.”
[Party] Shallow in the Clouds: “Okay! If you don’t have enough Ice, let me know. I’ll go buy some.”
Yu Qian traded him the equipment and the Dharma Purple Ice, then carefully explained the attributes she wanted.
“For the armor, I want fixed Unpierceable or fixed Unrepairable. For the bracers, either fixed Double Block and Triple Block, or fixed Double Great and Triple Great will do. The gloves and belt should have fixed Unrepairable. The shoes and hat need Spell Dodge. The necklace can have either fixed Heartguard or fixed Qi Boost. Finally, the bracelet and ring need percentage resistance.”
[Party] Deep in the Clouds: “What kind of resistance?”
[Party] Shallow in the Clouds: “Mixed resistance would be best. Stun resistance is fine too.”
After making everything clear, Yu Qian began thinking about what else she could do.
She suddenly remembered that she had never performed the Buddha-worship ritual even once. Thinking of how troublesome it was, she felt a headache coming on. But if she wanted more health, the ritual was indispensable. With no other choice, she mounted up and headed toward Dunhuang.
The ritual could be performed three hundred times a day and had four stages, each with a maximum level of fifty. Once all four stages were fully completed, it granted five thousand health.
The first time she did it, the entire three hundred attempts yielded only a little over a hundred health. Yu Qian felt a headache coming on again. It was simply too time-consuming and too expensive.
Yet she could not abandon it. Zhou Jingchen had told her that the Kitchen God in the Homestead would eventually be released again, and the Kitchen God’s level was closely tied to the Buddha-worship level.
[Sister Xiu] “I had someone collect a six-transformation Ba Snake with 2.1 growth for you. Its Constitution aptitude is over 1,600, and its other aptitudes are over 1,300 as well. For battle pets, I found two: a six-transformation Ba Snake with 1.995 growth to serve as a health pet, and a six-transformation Soul-Summoning Cat with 1.8 growth to serve as an attack pet.”
[Shallow in the Clouds] “What are their personalities?”

[Sister Xiu] “The attached pet is Cautious. That doesn’t really matter, does it? The health pet is Loyal, and the attack pet is Clever.”
[Shallow in the Clouds] “Okay, that works. Join my party and trade them to me. I’ll go buy the embryos.”
Knowing how cursed her luck was, Yu Qian had no intention of unlocking the skill slots herself. She chose to buy pets that were already prepared instead.
She recalled how she had developed pet skills in her previous life. Since battle pets could not be used to purchase embryos, she had been forced to unlock the slots herself. An attached pet required one four-slot, one five-slot, and one six-slot embryo.
First, she used items to unlock the three slots that could be opened with certainty, then installed the skills she wanted. After that, she extracted the three skills from A Helping Hand. Next, she placed one desired skill onto the four-slot embryo and locked it, then added the three skills from A Helping Hand. She unlocked the slot and extracted the result once more. The five-slot and six-slot embryos were handled in the same way.
Once that was done, a six-slot attached pet was complete. All she had to do was extract it, install it onto the spirit beast she had prepared, and finally add the five-slot professional attachment.
That was how an eleven-slot, fully unlocked attached pet was made.
As for the battle skills, along with the aptitude and intimacy of the three pets, she would leave those to Zhou Jingchen.
The more capable someone was, the more work they had to do.
