Xu Huo still used Xu Zhi's name. After exchanging a few words with Ye Bingxin, he learned that she was from District 015, which seemed to have entered the game earlier than District 014.
"The order in which game districts are numbered isn't very strict," Ye Bingxin said. "But District 015 has been pretty lucky. It doesn't have many resources, and it hasn't had any Super Artifact incidents. It's not as unlucky as District 014."
"It has been pretty unlucky," Xu Huo agreed.
"Sometimes, whether a new district can get on its feet comes down to luck," Ye Bingxin said. "I actually believe in fate."
"Do you have an Ability related to that?" Xu Huo asked, seeming interested.

"No, no." Ye Bingxin laid out a row of cards she had made herself. "Just pick one."
Xu Huo chose one at random. The card showed the sun, moon, and stars, each with a clock hand pointing to a different time.
Ye Bingxin was surprised when she saw the card. "That's the first time anyone's drawn this one."
"What? Is it bad?" Xu Huo raised an eyebrow.
"Not exactly." Ye Bingxin pointed to the stars on the card. "This is one bad omen and two good ones. The stars are closest to you, which means you'll face a significant tribulation in the near future. But don't worry too much. The moon and sun that follow represent a turn for the better after things reach their worst. This tribulation might even bring you unexpected gains."
Xu Huo smiled faintly, but
