[Mirror]

The Divination God app had already been taken down from the store.

No matter how he searched, it was nowhere to be found, as if it had simply vanished.

Lu Yibai began to ponder whether he should go and buy the fortune-telling uncle's second-hand phone...

After all, apps that were already downloaded wouldn't delete themselves.

However, unless it was the kind that didn't need a network, it would likely be blocked and unusable.

Never mind, he would talk to the uncle next time he ran into him.

His biological clock was the exact opposite of the fortune-telling uncle's.

Besides, the fortune-telling uncle didn't come every day either.

Crow City's urban management officers were considered relatively amicable, and in truth, quite a few urban management officers were amicable.

Yet during a crackdown, they still had to properly execute their duties.

Lately, if Lu Yibai woke up early, he would head over to the overpass in the afternoon to take a look. The first few times he hadn't run into the fortune-telling uncle, but when he bumped into him once again, the man was already selling hand-grabbed pancakes.

Spending the time it took to smoke a cigarette chatting, Lu Yibai learned that this Divination God app indeed couldn't be used anymore.

Because of this, the uncle decided to change professions. Anyway, when he worked as a charlatan he really hadn't made any money; he wasn't good at conning people, nor did he know how to dupe them, and fortune-telling relied entirely on the app. The fact that he managed to last this long in the trade was probably due to love...

Buying three hand-grabbed pancakes, Lu Yibai returned to the bar.

By the time he got back to the bar, Lin Xiaoqi and Ye Yiyi were already awake, so he handed the hand-grabbed pancakes to them.

As for this Divination God, Lu Yibai temporarily had no clues either; perhaps it really was just a coincidence.

After all, reality was far more bizarre than novels, and reality didn't need logic.

Anyway, the app had been taken down, and for now there was nowhere for him to research it.

After finishing her hand-grabbed pancake, Ye Yiyi obediently sat down in front of Boss Lu.

It was time once again for the once-a-day whimpering session.

Lu Yibai picked up Lion Umbrella, directly prodding it against Ye Yiyi's lower abdomen.

Yang energy entered her body, "Whimper, whimper, whimper..."

A deeply satisfied smile bloomed across Ye Yiyi's face.

Boss Lu felt that fate treated him quite well.

Although as the boss he had to support these two young lasses, both of these chicks seemed very easy to satisfy.

Lin Xiaoqi was fine as long as there was good food, and Ye Yiyi was fine as long as she got poked by Lion Umbrella every day.

Well-fed, Ye Yiyi swung her waist, happily going off to the first floor to clean up the bar.

Another day full of vigor!

"Boss, has that ghost inside Lion Umbrella appeared recently?" Lin Xiaoqi asked.

Lu Yibai shook his head.

That ghost seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep ever since its sudden appearance last time.

It was also possible it was still lying low.

The reason why it came to beguile Lu Yibai remained unknown.

Yet it probably shouldn't be ready to give up just because of a single failure.

Still, it was obvious that sealed as it was, it now appeared very weak. At night, although the power of demons and ghosts would be somewhat stronger, it didn't seem to be all that powerful.

At least when Lu Yibai was awake, it couldn't even manage to invade his conscious space.

So many days had passed, and Boss Lu's biggest gain was that he had successfully mastered the first form of Basic Umbrella Technique—the poke.

His poking was exceptionally accurate now.

Even if the target was a nostril, he could steadily poke right into it.

Lin Xiaoqi was somewhat surprised by Lu Yibai's progress.

Because in her view, Boss Lu's talent was actually quite ordinary, but his saving grace was that he was truly very patient and worked hard enough.

He genuinely hadn't slacked off for a single day.

Consequently, he could already start learning the second form—the sweep.

The practice process remained dry and tedious, but Lu Yibai had always been very able to endure loneliness.

Same as always, five hundred times with the right hand, five hundred times with the left hand.

He felt that his arm strength was growing day by day.

Aside from that, the cultivation of Menstrual Pain hadn't experienced the slightest delay either.

The sensation of pain was now twice what it had been before.

Yet Lu Yibai had evolved from enduring the pain to getting used to the pain.

Anyway, it hurt for a while every day; after hurting and hurting, it seemed to just be no big deal.

Originally, the speck of light within his body was roughly the length and width of two fingers, but now it had grown quite a bit, reaching about three fingers.

If he kept practicing like this, he was afraid he might cultivate a glowing palm...

Both possessed the most trash-tier aptitudes, yet several ancestral masters had paid with their lives, so being able to cultivate peacefully now already felt lucky enough to Lu Yibai.

Mere pain; if it could be endured, he would endure it.

Enduring the pain in secret by himself was far better than getting beaten by enemies in the future and howling in agony.

Boss Lu considered himself a respectable man and still cared about his face.

Running a minor circulation, Lu Yibai recovered from his meditative state.

He could clearly sense that the speck of light inside his body had grown a bit more.

Menstrual Pain seemed to have no bottlenecks; as long as he kept accumulating, he could slowly break through.

It was brainless, but super awesome.

He picked up Lion Umbrella from beside him and waved it a few times, making a rushing wind.

His body was still covered in sweat, so he went into the bathroom to shower as usual.

Once finished, he prepared to go to sleep.

Before bed, Lu Yibai needed to put Lion Umbrella back in the umbrella stand.

He had to maintain a certain distance from it, otherwise the ghost suppressed inside would disturb his sweet dreams again.

You aren't even a pretty female ghost, what can you do with me by entering my dream?

Going downstairs, looking at the clean and tidy bar on the first floor, Boss Lu gave Ye Yiyi a thumbs-up from the bottom of his heart.

This little maid was truly both obedient and capable.

Look at this glass, how clean it was; Lu Yibai could clearly see the silhouette of a person reflected on the glass.

Mhm, and quite handsome at that.

Holding the black umbrella, he faced the glass and made a "Yeah~" sign.

It looked just like throwing scissors during a game of rock-paper-scissors.

However, the human figure reflected in the glass...

Threw rock!

Boss Lu half-squinted his deadpan eyes, clearly seeing that the reflected figure had indeed thrown rock.

He lowered his head to glance at Lion Umbrella in his hand.

In the middle of the night, did it really have to be so mischievous?

Having experienced the baptism of countless ghost movies, Boss Lu's heart truly didn't experience a single ripple.

And so, he quietly stood in front of the glass and spoke up, "Rock, paper, scissors!"

Then, he swiftly threw out "Paper."

The reflected figure seemed momentarily caught off guard, but very instinctively followed along by throwing "Paper" as well.

Lu Yibai didn't give it time to react, continuing briskly: "Rock, paper, scissors!"

"Rock!"

"Scissors!"

"Rock!"

Just like that, he played ten rounds of rock-paper-scissors against the glass.

The figure in the glass slowly became somewhat more ethereal. After all, the ghost was suppressed, and the energy it could overdraw was limited.

Having been inexplicably led through a rhythm by Lu Yibai, it consumed over half of the energy it had managed to accumulate with such difficulty over this period.

It just wanted to say something at the very last moment when it heard Lu Yibai murmuring.

Whoa! This eccentric freak is finally willing to take the initiative to talk to me!

Let's hear what he's saying.

It mobilized its remaining energy, listening closely to Lu Yibai's words.

As he walked away, Lu Yibai chanted:

"Prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, equality, justice..."

The twenty-four-character core socialist values.

Clack, Lion Umbrella was put back into the umbrella stand by Boss Lu.
