Bottomless Coffee Cup

**Chapter 11: Obtaining the Wheel of Fate**

That night, Rita used her disguise skill to head toward the villa district. She didn't return to her own villa—there were too many strange and unpredictable skills, and from the start, she hadn't planned on leaving any trace that could lead back to her hideout.

She hid in the woods surrounding the villas before her disguise wore off, leaning against a tree to sleep until 2 AM. When she woke and saw that it was only the 27th, she was momentarily stunned. It felt like so much time had passed, yet it hadn't even been a week.

After downing a cup of iced coffee, Rita donned a mask and covered her hair entirely with a swim cap, ensuring that not a single strand would be left behind. She then put on gloves, drank an invisibility potion, and began a 10-kilometer run to the White family estate. She figured she might as well get some exercise while she was at it.

She had tried using an invisibility potion while inside a car to see if the vehicle would turn invisible too, but the potion's energy was limited—it couldn't extend to large objects. She had even tried a bicycle and an electric scooter, but those didn't work either. Only a skateboard remained invisible, but using that was as good as ringing a bell.

After running 10 kilometers and hiding in the bushes while waiting for the potion's cooldown to end, Rita didn't hesitate to drink another potion. She brewed her own potions for a reason: to use them.

In the game, she had always been reluctant to use her good items, hoarding them in her inventory until she eventually quit the game. But in reality, she would use every resource at her disposal if it meant reducing her risk of being discovered.

The White family's villa could be called a mansion—a sprawling estate that dwarfed Rita's own 50-million-yuan "small villa," which now seemed like a speck of dust in comparison, akin to a security booth at the entrance of a typical residential complex.

The towering iron gates were equipped with various monitoring and sensing devices, but after drinking a basic phasing potion that allowed her to become intangible for 15 seconds, Rita passed through the gate and into the White family's estate.

She ran for another 10 minutes before reaching the White family's main house.

Rita was truly impressed. 

With this level of wealth, was it really necessary to hunt her down for an A-Class talent?

She first went to the nearby secondary buildings to locate the **[Wheel of Fate]**. The White family's driver and housekeepers all lived on the estate, ready to serve the family at any moment. But their living conditions were nothing short of luxurious.

Rita hid in a utility room, waiting for the cooldown on her invisibility potion to end. Once she was ready, she took another dose and continued her mission.

Using a liberal amount of phasing potions to slip in and out of rooms, Rita quickly located the driver's bedroom on the second floor of one of the smaller buildings. Standing beside the bed, she used **[I Want This, This, and This]**.

The attempt succeeded, but the theft failed. Without wasting time, Rita drew a knife from her inventory and slashed the driver's throat. The young man's eyes shot open in terror as he stared at the bloodstained fingers that had appeared out of thin air. But no sound escaped him. He clutched a basic healing potion in his hand, which Rita quickly pried from his grasp with the tip of her knife.

Within moments, the man's eyes went blank, and he stopped breathing.

Rita rifled through the body, finding a 4-slot bag—a small, worn cloth bag that looked utterly unremarkable. Inside were just two pitiful potions and a pouch containing two silver coins.

Rita then used **[Death Mimicry]** on the corpse, selecting the deceased target to mimic their divine talent. At any given time, she could only have one talent mimicked; switching targets would erase the previous mimicry.

Soon, she felt a new divine talent manifest within her: **[Wheel of Fate]** (B-Class).

While waiting for her cooldowns to reset, she used the **[Chávez Mask]** to modify her character panel, changing her divine talent to **[Wheel of Fate]** (B-Class).

After completing this, Rita removed the bloodstained gloves that had become visible and cleaned her hands with alcohol sanitizer before donning a fresh pair of gloves. Then, she drank another invisibility potion and headed toward the main house.

Using the same methods, she found Sanchez's room. Crawling under the young woman's bed, Rita's practiced movements reflected the pain of experience.

It was only 4 AM—Rita didn't believe for a second that a pampered young woman like Sanchez would wake up before 7 AM. That meant she had about three hours to work.

First, she used **[Another Happy Day]** from **[Wheel of Fate]** to lower Sanchez's luck to 1, and then she began her cycle of **[I Want This, This, and This]**—healing with potions and eating meat to restore health—before repeating the process.

**[Wheel of Fate]** was as nasty as she remembered!

No wonder it had tormented her for so long.

With Sanchez's luck reduced to 1, it only took Rita an hour to steal two items, a coin pouch, and three attribute points.

**[Chávez Set: Glasses (2/3)] (A-Class):** When worn, these glasses allow the user to inspect a target's character panel (divine talent specifics cannot be viewed). With each additional piece of the Chávez set, the amount of information available increases. Currently, you can view the names and quantities of the target's equipped items.

These were the same gold-rimmed glasses Sanchez frequently wore in her past life, and it turned out they were a detection item.

Although Rita had once shared the occasional spoils from the protagonist's adventures, she had always been treated as an outsider—like the poor relative of a wealthy family. She never had the privilege of knowing the protagonists' information.

Rita carefully stored the glasses in her inventory, knowing they were a treasure. The glasses were a common enough design, with no identifying marks.

And with both the glasses and the mask, the mask's concealment ability was further enhanced.

**[Chávez Set: Mask (2/3)] (A-Class):** When used, this mask disguises your character panel information. The item must be kept in your inventory for the effect to remain active. If the mask is lost, the disguise fails. (Currently cannot be detected by items below S-Class. Note: Each additional piece of the Chávez set increases concealment level by 1.)

Rita even suspected that the final piece of the Chávez set was in the hands of the male lead's third girlfriend.

Was this really a set? Or was it a status symbol for the female leads?

**[Bottomless Coffee Cup] (C-Class):** A cup filled with endless coffee. Each cup holds 500ml and restores a total of 500 mana points. It can be refilled once every 24 hours.

This was practically an infinite mana potion!

It was only rated C-Class probably because of the long cooldown.

But the cooldown didn't overlap with that of mana potions, making it incredibly valuable. When her mana potions were on cooldown, she could rely on the coffee to restore her mana.

The coin pouch didn't hold much—only three gold coins.

But it was better than nothing.

As for the three attribute points, they all went to **[Agility]**.

In her previous life, Sanchez had chosen the assassin's path due to her ability to merge with water. On rainy days, she was like the god of death, taking lives with every step, no one able to predict which raindrop she would emerge from. She was known as the God of Assassins.

Her voice carried significant weight within Rick's team.

Sanchez wasn't quite right in the head. She had actually believed Rick's words, thinking Rita harbored a twisted love for her brother. She had even tried to use her talent to replace Rita or Zoey just to be with Rick.

How could she have believed such nonsense?!

Sanchez had issued the bounty on Rita, not only demanding her capture alive but offering separate rewards for each of her limbs—practically suggesting that as long as Rita's limbs were severed and she was kept alive, she could be sold off piecemeal!

Rita forced down her hatred and continued stealing until 7 AM.

She managed to snag another 3 points of Agility and 2 points of Strength before finally stopping.

Her Agility was now a staggering 18, and her Strength had increased to 7.

In total, she had gained 8 attribute points from Sanchez alone—almost as much as if she had leveled up twice.
