Mechanics
Fate Value is displayed on Lu Chen’s system panel and can be spent to modify his traits. The system awards Fate Value and Luck Value for changes in fate according to the extent of the change and its causality 1.
- Acquisition: Lu Chen can receive Fate Value by changing his own fate or influencing other people’s fates, whether by helping, teaching, injuring, or killing them 1 3 13 14 39.
- Settlement: A reward can initially be marked as pending, then paid in stages as consequences occur. The four men who ate poisonous mushrooms generated multiple interim rewards as their conditions changed 6 7 9.
- Practice and cost: Skill traits can improve through practice without spending Fate Value. Existing progress can also reduce the cost of an upgrade: Chopping’s rise to greater mastery cost Lu Chen 47 points rather than 50 3 10.
- Physical effects: Adding points can grant technical experience and transform the body. Lu Chen’s Throwing upgrade strengthened his muscles and helped his minor injuries heal 4.
- Debt: Unlocking the Hunyuan Body exhausted Lu Chen’s reserves and left him owing both Fate Value and Luck Value 34.

Relationship to Luck Value
Luck Value is a separate resource that can allow a trait to exceed its original upper limit or fuse traits into a new one 16.
- After reaching perfected Organ Refining, Lu Chen could not break the Ox-Cleaving Saber Technique’s limit with nine Luck Value; the system required at least ten 24.
- Having enough Fate Value does not guarantee an upgrade. Lu Chen held 3,803 Fate Value in Chapter 49 but lacked the Luck Value needed to advance his saber technique 49.
- Lu Chen received Luck Value from both killings and rescuing victims, but remained uncertain about its precise rules of acquisition 14 31 49.
