Chapter 19: You Yu and You Xue—Familiar Faces from a Past Life!
Page 1/3
You Yu.
Jiang Yi met this guy back in his previous life when they were both struggling desperately in the Suicide Squad, fighting tooth and nail until finally becoming official members of the club.
By the time Jiang Yi became an official member, You Yu was already one of the top members.
That guy was very adept at socializing and enjoyed quite a good reputation among the official members.
When Jiang Yi first became an official member, he inexplicably felt a fondness for You Yu.
For a while, they even called each other brothers, convinced he had made a good friend.
However, during one mission at an altar ruin on the boundary battlefield, Jiang Yi discovered a profession roulette!
Unlike ordinary roulettes dropped by monsters, which were single-use and became useless after one spin, this profession roulette was different.
It didn’t become useless after one use but could be used by multiple people!
Moreover, it had ten options, all of which were professions!
Although the options varied in quality, such an item was invaluable in the early days of the apocalypse!
If Jiang Yi had been able to bring that profession roulette back to the club, he would have earned a huge amount of points!
He might even have elevated his status within the club!
But after Jiang Yi fought desperately to defeat the guardian beast beside the profession roulette, You Yu suddenly appeared and snatched it away!
Jiang Yi would never forget that moment when You Yu stole the roulette and gave him a casual smile, saying grandly:
“Jiang Yi, today I’ll give you a free lesson—”
“In this post-apocalyptic game world, there are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies.”
“There is only eternal self-interest!”
“If it weren’t for this precious profession roulette, we could have been good friends.”
“But unfortunately, now you have chosen your path to death.”
After uttering those words, You Yu didn’t hesitate to attack Jiang Yi!
At that time, Jiang Yi was far weaker than You Yu and had just finished battling the guardian beast.
By all rights, he should have died at You Yu’s hands.
But fortunately, You Yu’s lengthy monologue before attacking gave Jiang Yi enough time to prepare and escape using a teleportation stone!
Later, when Jiang Yi returned to the club, You Yu had already used the profession roulette to advance and become a core member!
Jiang Yi tried to expose You Yu’s treachery.
But no one believed him!
At the time, Jiang Yi thought it was because You Yu was so good at socializing that no one wanted to believe his accusations.
Later he gradually realized—
In this post-apocalyptic game world, the truth never really mattered.
No one cared what kind of person You Yu truly was.
What mattered was that You Yu was stronger than him!
Just like the elixir recipe owned by Chang Jiao’e—whether she stole it or obtained it herself, no one cared.
As the saying goes, might makes right.
Truth was never that important.
Strength was almost equivalent to having a voice!
In his previous life, Jiang Yi’s lack of strength and You Yu’s targeting made it impossible for him to remain in the club.

So, to avoid You Yu’s schemes and traps, Jiang Yi found a chance to leave the club.
He then went through a period of silence.
By the time he heard the name “You Yu” again, the Happy Sky Club had long ceased to exist.
At that time, You Yu had become the leader of the Professional Alliance at the Qingchuan Base!
His power, status, and strength were beyond anything Jiang Yi could reach!
But You Yu’s end was no better.
He died earlier than Jiang Yi—and quite miserably.
Lost in thoughts of past grudges, Jiang Yi suddenly heard Zhang Peng gasp nearby:
“Hiss... a fairy!”
Not only Zhang Peng but also Gao Chang and Luo Shan stared blankly.
Even the middle-aged Li Shoude had a somewhat dazed look in his eyes.
Jiang Yi wasn’t surprised. He glanced over calmly and saw beside You Yu a slender, fair-skinned young woman.
She was delicate and graceful, her entire aura pure and clean, resembling a fragile, youthful beauty.
Even from a distance, it was clear she had exquisite, charming features—elfin, pure, and lively.
She was the kind of woman most men would be unable to look away from.
Come to think of it, part of the reason Jiang Yi once considered You Yu a brother and felt kindly toward him was this You Xue.
At the time, Jiang Yi thought it was simply the universal appreciation of beauty that made him like You Xue.
Later, when he learned of You Yu’s death on the forum, he discovered—
The sister You Yu always kept by his side, You Xue, was not really his sister.
More precisely, she wasn’t human!
She was a succubus!
You Yu’s good reputation and Jiang Yi’s fondness for him were closely tied to that succubus!
Even You Yu’s rise to leader of the Qingchuan Base Professional Alliance was likely aided by her!
However, as the saying goes, the very thing that made him rise also led to his downfall.
You Yu’s death was due to You Xue’s succubus identity being exposed.
It was said to be connected to some messy private scandals among powerful figures.
But the forum rumors at the time spread in countless versions.
As just a bystander, Jiang Yi naturally could not know the inside story or the interests involved.
At the time, he only felt—
In this world, those who smile brightly don’t always laugh last.
If he lived long enough, perhaps even without doing anything, he would eventually see news of his old enemies dying one by one.
Since then, Jiang Yi had become increasingly cautious.
His desire for revenge was no longer so urgent.
Now, seeing You Yu and You Xue again, Jiang Yi’s mindset was much calmer.
If given the chance, he might personally seek revenge on You Yu in this life.
But if not, it didn’t matter.
His current philosophy was simple—
The world is vast, and survival is paramount!
His life was precious beyond comparison! Nothing else mattered!
Jiang Yi thought this to himself.
Ahead, Liao Yuanfeng also recovered from the stunning beauty of You Xue.
Because of her, he had taken a more favorable attitude toward You Yu, but still formally said:
“Words are no proof. Show us your data panel.”

You Yu looked refined and easy to talk to.
He nodded directly and called out:
“Data panel.”
Immediately, a bluish light screen appeared before him—
【Name: You Yu】
【Level: 2】
【Lifespan: 323 years 281 days】
【Talent: None】
【Profession: None】
【Skill: Speed (D rank)】
【Status: Moon Goddess’s Blessing】
【Strength: 11】
【Constitution: 10】
【Agility: 13】
【Spirit: 10】
【Combat Power: 282】
This data stunned Liao Yuanfeng!
He almost couldn’t help but exclaim:
“Level 2! Combat power is about to break 300! And your lifespan—over three hundred years!”
His voice was not loud, but Luo Shan’s nearby team heard it clearly!
Gao Chang, Luo Shan, and others all widened their eyes in shock!
Especially Zhang Peng, who had just mocked You Yu as another “long-life leech” seeking refuge, looked as if he had seen a ghost!
Liao Yuanfeng quickly composed himself, becoming much more serious.
He flipped out a device resembling a cellphone.
Luo Shan looked over and quietly asked Gao Chang:
“Is that the exclusive fate panel for official players?”
Gao Chang nodded:
“Brother Liao is probably sending a message to the club’s top brass!”
“This new guy joining might directly become an official club member! On equal footing with Brother Liao!”
Zhang Peng watched from a distance and commented:
“No wonder the woman next to him looks like a fairy. In this world, you need some real strength to keep such a beautiful woman!”
Li Shoude also nodded:
“But if that guy doesn’t join any faction and just stays a lone strong player, he probably wouldn’t keep such a beautiful woman. Joining the Happy Sky Club is a wise choice.”
Zhang Peng added bitterly:
“Ah, same humans, same apocalypse, why is the gap so huge? That guy must be incredibly lucky!”
Luo Shan also felt envious:
“Of course! In this world, anyone with a bit of strength has to be lucky!”
As the group exchanged words, a vehicle from the club approached and personally took You Yu and You Xue to the club’s main base.
After this brief event, Liao Yuanfeng’s team continued their mission away from the club.
Liao Yuanfeng led the way, with two other vehicles following behind.
Luo Shan had just joined the Suicide Squad and was inexperienced.
While driving behind Liao Yuanfeng, he wondered aloud:
“Weren’t we supposed to be searching for someone? I thought searching meant looking all over the world, but now it seems like Brother Liao already knows where they are?”
Talkative Zhang Peng cut in before Gao Chang could answer:
“Official players carry all kinds of items!”
“Zhou Yiming, who got lost through the teleportation stone, must have a tracking compass on him!”
“And Brother Liao probably already has the coordinates from that tracking compass!”
