Background / History

Before meeting Gu Mian, the fortune teller cleared a Profession Dungeon to obtain the Fortune Teller Profession. She later used an Attribute Reset Ticket to shift all of her Attribute points into mental power, believing stronger mental power would strengthen her divinations. The decision gave her sharp senses and endurance, but greatly weakened her ability to protect herself physically. 311

Because her abilities could provide useful information, prior teammates were generally willing to protect her; she estimates that her divinations helped clear roughly half of her earlier Dungeons. She nevertheless sought a permanent teammate, recognizing that her Profession is most effective when supported by a coordinated group. 311

Appearance

The fortune teller typically presents herself in witch-like fortune-telling attire, especially when working in Dungeons. 414 418

• Wears a black hood or robe, often leaving half of her face obscured in shadow. 414
• Carries a dark-blue pendulum for divination. 414 418
• Later uses fortune sticks, a wooden lot bucket, and the heavy green Omen Slate as alternative divination tools. 617 866 908

Personality

The fortune teller is cautious, anxious around ghosts, and keenly aware of her limited self-defense. When a ghost repeatedly knocked outside her room, she stayed silent and refused to open the door until Gu Mian's presence drove it away. 311

Despite this fearfulness, she is proactive when information is at stake. She secretly investigated Dong'er's room after her divination suggested there were no living people among Dong'er's potential choices, discovering the real Dong'er's corpse beneath the bed. 312 313 She also continues to use divination after failures, exhaustion, and the destruction of her tools. 304 418 874

She prefers cooperation to ruthless self-preservation. After Bright Moon used a Special Item to leave her in a ghost's path, the fortune teller still refused to abandon Bright Moon during their later escape. 426 427 Her near-collapse from repeatedly using Greedy Mad Dog later motivates her to begin regular physical training. 655 668

Abilities & Skills

Fortune Teller Profession

The Fortune Teller Profession allows her to obtain information through divination, particularly about past events, hidden identities, and the location of targets. Her earliest crystal-ball readings were limited to once per day, could not reveal specific events reliably, and could not be used on her own fate. 304

• Her divinations consume mental power; greater mental power improves their effectiveness. 311
• She can generally confirm whether an event happened rather than predict detailed future outcomes. 414 418
• Her results can fail without producing a false answer. 418
• A successful reading revealed that a serial-killer Dungeon's timeline continued moving forward rather than resetting between player groups. 418
• She can locate objects and destinations, including the Food Factory office, the Clown Mask, Ren Leshan's approximate position, and the City of Inverted Sky. 550 568 745 908
• Divining Gu Mian is unusually hazardous and unreliable; her first crystal ball exploded during a reading for him, while later attempts cracked the Omen Slate. 304 866 874

Pendulum Divination

Her dark-blue pendulum is a Special Item obtained from a Dungeon and has her lowest divination failure rate. 418

• Clockwise rotation means “yes”; counterclockwise rotation means “no.” 418
• No movement indicates a failed divination. 418
• Using the pendulum, she confirmed that the Ziyang City serial killer was a ghost, that it had murdered players, and that the official count of eight victims concealed a ninth death. 418

Greedy Mad Dog

Greedy Mad Dog is her Profession skill for locating needed items. It manifests as a huge black dog that searches relentlessly for the designated target. 568 655

• Used to search for the Clown Mask amid a garbage-sorting Dungeon. 568
• The dog has extreme speed and stamina, but all stamina it expends is transferred to the fortune teller. 568
• Overuse leaves her exhausted enough to struggle to stand or speak. 569 655
• She can hand the manifested dog to 007, allowing 007 to use her Taming ability on it to search for Gu Mian. 655

Omen Slate

The Omen Slate is a green Special Item usable only by Fortune Teller Profession holders. It was grown from a Mysterious Seed given to the fortune teller by 007. 866

• Answers questions through written words or images rather than speech. 866
• Simple questions receive clearer answers; difficult questions may be ambiguous or unanswered. 866
• It gives only one answer to each individual question. 866
• It successfully indicated that the evil god of Paradise World would appear in “the next dungeon.” 873
• The slate becomes unstable when used on questions concerning Gu Mian, developing cracks during attempts to divine him. 866 874

Equipment / Divination Tools

• Dark-blue pendulum — Her most reliable conventional divination tool; gives yes/no answers through rotation. 418
• Crystal ball — A baby-head-sized divination tool used during her first reading for Gu Mian; it exploded before the reading could conclude. 304
• Ouija board — A lower-energy but dangerous spirit-summoning alternative used during the serial-murder investigation. 418
• Omen Slate — Heavy green slate that produces written or visual answers to her questions. 866 874
• Fortune sticks and lot buckets — Safer tools she adopted after the crystal-ball incident; used to judge general fortune rather than complex outcomes. 617 908
• Lucky charms — She can craft charms, including one made from a Dungeon Admission Ticket stub that helped pull Gu Mian into a Dungeon. 650
• Penguin Brand Urgent Syrup — A valuable emergency item supplied by Gu Mian; she used it to halt a pursuing ghost for thirty seconds after Bright Moon sabotaged her escape. 426

Relationships

• Gu Mian — Frequent teammate and source of both protection and divination disasters. Her first attempt to read his fortune destroyed her crystal ball; he later saved her from Dong'er and supplied rare items when she acted as bait. 304 314 426
• Chu Changge — Investigative ally who relies on her divinations to uncover hidden Dungeon history and locate objectives. 418 561 572
• 007 — Close ally and fellow future target of the Seventh World. The two try to avoid entering the same Dungeon after learning of their apparent future deaths, but later cooperate with Greedy Mad Dog to find Gu Mian. 644 645 655
• Xiao Qiao — Teammate in investigations and escape efforts; Xiao Qiao supports the fortune teller when the stamina cost of Greedy Mad Dog nearly incapacitates her. 572 655
• Fatty — Companion who repeatedly asks for her help locating Gu Mian and joins Gu Mian in seeking her divinations. 560 866
• Bright Moon — Hostile fellow player who used Unfair Referee to immobilize the fortune teller in front of a pursuing ghost. Their later cooperation remains tense. 426 427 429
• Anzhi Tinglan / “Dong'er” — Enemy who impersonated Dong'er, murdered the real chosen guest, and attempted to kill the fortune teller after her investigation exposed the deception. 313 314 898

Story Role / Major Arcs

Sweet Lovers Dating Show

The fortune teller meets Gu Mian while newly established as a Profession player and offers him a reading, only for her crystal ball to explode. 304 Her divination of Dong'er's potential choices finds no living people, prompting her to search Dong'er's room and uncover the corpse hidden beneath the bed. 312 313

Dong'er—later identified as Anzhi Tinglan—attacks her to conceal the impersonation. The fortune teller is injured and cornered until Gu Mian emerges from beneath the bed, frightening Anzhi Tinglan and her accomplices into retreat. 314

Serial Murder Investigation

In the serial-murder Dungeon, she joins Gu Mian, Chu Changge, Fatty, Xiao Qiao, and others in investigating the ghost's history rather than merely waiting out the survival objective. 414 418 Her pendulum confirms the ghost's murders and exposes the ongoing, non-resetting timeline of the instance. 418

When the group uses her Ouija method, the summoned entity writes that the Ziyang City case had nine victims, contradicting public records that listed only eight. 418

Later, she serves as bait in a plan to lure the ghost to Gu Mian. Bright Moon betrays her during the chase, but she survives by using Gu Mian's emergency syrup and reaches the mall. 426 429

Food Factory and the Clown Mask Search

Trapped in The Wonderful Adventure of the Food Factory, she searches for keys and escape routes while avoiding the processing line. 550 Gu Mian unexpectedly enters the Dungeon, opens the lower-floor doors, and asks her to locate the factory office. 550

She later uses Greedy Mad Dog to search a garbage-sorting Dungeon for the Clown Mask, enduring severe stamina drain as the dog races through the area. 568 569

Seventh World and Future Death

A radio broadcast reveals apparent final words from both 007 and the fortune teller in the Seventh World. Distressed by the possibility that her death is predetermined, she repeatedly attempts to divine her own future and resolves to avoid entering the same Dungeon as 007. 644

When the group later enters the collapsing world, she expends her stamina until she nearly collapses while fleeing with Gu Mian, Chu Changge, and Xiao Qiao. Gu Mian ultimately saves her from the pursuing ghosts. 659

Paradise World and Later Divinations

She agrees to pose as an unemployed Food Processing Plant NPC when Gu Mian's group contacts the Carnival Docks Recruitment Office. Chu Changge provides written prompts while she makes the call. 720

Using the Omen Slate, she successfully identifies the evil god's likely location as the next Dungeon. 873 She later guides Gu Mian, Ghost Valley, and Xiao Qiao to the City of Inverted Sky after drawing a fortune stick for “unexpected joy,” only to spot a face in one of the openings beneath the floating city. 908

Trivia

• Profession players have distinctive green nickname colors; the fortune teller's nickname shares this color with Gu Mian's Doctor Profession nickname. 417
• Her first divination for Gu Mian left her so wary of explosive tools that she began favoring less destructive methods such as pendulums, card readings, and fortune lots. 617
• After Greedy Mad Dog nearly exhausts her to death, she begins frequent running and strength training with dumbbells. 668
