Chapter 18: Devilish Art: Command of Fate (Seeking Follow-up Reads!!!)

After PE class ended and another Dao Heart lesson was finished, the day's studies were finally over.

Su Yuan, after retrieving the large bag of leftover food he had stored at the cafeteria, didn't even bother to eat. He left the School with Chen Nuoyi.

"Su Yuan, are we really not going to eat before we leave?"

Standing at the school gate, Chen Nuoyi gazed in the direction of the cafeteria, looking quite reluctant to part.

"Impossible."

Su Yuan stated decisively:

"I've already calculated it. After most students finish eating, the cafeteria will offer a special discount, but we'll have to wait about an hour."

"And this one hour during mealtime is enough for us to earn over three hundred yuan. The cost-effectiveness is far greater than saving a little at the cafeteria!"

"I see."

Chen Nuoyi suddenly understood and then nodded in agreement.

Su Yuan added, "Just bear with it for now. After our work is done, we'll go eat somewhere with even bigger discounts."

Chen Nuoyi was shocked. "Is there anywhere cheaper than the school cafeteria?"

Su Yuan: "Naturally. If you want to live a good life by working, you need to learn to save money in addition to earning it. I'll teach you how to save money later."

As he spoke, Su Yuan, pulling Chen Nuoyi, whose expression had already taken on a look of awe, first found a garbage station to throw away trash, then headed straight for a nearby takeout station. He got the young lady a set of delivery attire and a helmet, and guided her through getting a monthly pass for a Shared Flying Sword.

Under Su Yuan's guidance, this former Young Lady officially embarked on the irreversible path of delivering takeout.

"Su Yuan, I've already navigated to the delivery location, why can't I find the customer's house?"

"Let me see. The customer's residence is to the south. North is up, south is down, west is left, east is right. The customer is on the eighteenth underground floor. Fly down."

"Su Yuan, there are so many security guards at the entrance. They don't seem to let deliverymen in. How about I leave the takeout at the takeout locker by the entrance?"

"The bold eat, the timid starve. Charge in with me! If you can't get through, it's your responsibility. If you do get through, the customer bears everything."

"Su Yuan, I've been caught by the security guards!"

"Sing with me, 'We are all trying our best to live...' "

The peak takeout delivery hours from six to nine o'clock passed in a flash. Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi turned off auto-accepting orders and officially finished work.

Looking at the increased number in their account balance, Chen Nuoyi's pretty face was full of surprise.

"We earned this much in just two hours. Delivering takeout is really a good job."

Su Yuan, standing beside her, felt a little guilty. Delivering takeout couldn't exactly be called a good job, could it? Was he perhaps tricking a Righteous Path Prodigy?

Just then, a "ding-dong" sound echoed in Su Yuan's mind.

[In one day, you've caused a pure and flawless Righteous Path Saintess to fall into a state of neglecting her proper duties and associating with the Devilish Dao. In terms of leading others astray, you are an absolute genius!]

[Saint Fall Degree of Righteous Path Saintess +5%]

[Task: Fallen Saintess (Completed)]

[Task Reward: Devilish Art: Command of Fate (Issued)]

[Devilish Art: Command of Fate: Upon activation, you will learn the fate of the designated target for the day (the higher the cultivation of the designated target, the more spiritual energy consumed).]

[Note: This Devilish Art cannot be used on oneself.]

The next second, a massive influx of knowledge flooded Su Yuan's mind, allowing him to instantly master this evil and dangerous Devilish Art.

According to the Devilish Art, all living beings in the world have their fates, but fate is not immutable. It changes daily.

However, this change also follows certain patterns. Factors such as a person's identity, status, personal strength, and environment will limit the daily fate within a certain range.

Take a rich second-generation heir as an example. Because his family is wealthy, his daily refreshed fate generally won't include terms like "destitute" or "short of cash."

If he were a student, his daily fate would usually be related to his studies or events that might occur at school, such as "academic success," "praise from teachers," "friendly classmates," or "the cafeteria auntie's ladle doesn't shake."

And this daily refreshed fate will certainly be realized within the day.

However, if someone can see through a person's fate and forcibly interfere with it, then that person's fate will also change.

"To see another person's fate within a day, and then use the information displayed by their fate to predict the future and set traps to kill enemies... this is indeed a practical Devilish Art."

Su Yuan muttered to himself.

He turned his head and looked at Chen Nuoyi beside him, then activated the Devilish Art: Command of Fate.

The next second, Su Yuan felt about 30% of the spiritual energy in his body being drained. Above Chen Nuoyi's head, a large line of text appeared.

[Met with misfortune due to association (Verified)]

"Tsk!"

Su Yuan was furious!

What did "met with misfortune due to association" mean, and that it had already been verified? Wasn't this referring to him?!

It was one thing for the System to slander him, but now even a Devilish Art produced by the System was slandering him?

Then this Devilish Art was useless to him!

"Su Yuan, where are we going next? To eat?"

At this moment, Chen Nuoyi turned her head, her bright eyes shining under the streetlights, clear and flawless.

A girl like this should have been a high and mighty pearl, but because of the ill-fitting takeout uniform and the heavy takeout helmet, she also had a bit more of a girl-next-door feel.

Su Yuan was momentarily lost in thought.

Fortunately, the Ancient Corpse Refining Method immediately stepped in, refining Chen Nuoyi into a walking corpse in Su Yuan's mind, dispelling these distracting thoughts.

Damn it, your corpse refining method actually became a superior mind method that calms people down, huh!

Su Yuan unhappily suppressed the Ancient Corpse Refining Method and then said:

"Not yet. Next, I'm taking you to be a security guard. Uncle Wang, the security guard at our residential community, is skilled in the Fork Technique. You can learn it too."

"Oh, okay."

Chen Nuoyi nodded, her expression slightly disappointed.

It was clear she really wanted to eat.

After changing out of their takeout uniforms, the two arrived at Feiyun Community, and Su Yuan introduced Chen Nuoyi to Security Guard Uncle Wang.

At first, Old Wang harbored doubts about whether a delicate young lady like Chen Nuoyi could handle the job of a security guard. However, when Chen Nuoyi achieved minor success in the Eighteen Divine Fork Styles within fifteen minutes and was still rapidly improving, he was astonished.

"Little Su, where did you find this girl? She also has the Innate Security Saint Body. Among everyone I've met, her talent is second only to yours!"

Old Wang pulled Su Yuan aside and exclaimed, pointing at Chen Nuoyi, who was skillfully wielding an Anti-riot Fork nearby.

Su Yuan curled his lips and said:

"Uncle Wang, she doesn't have the Innate Security Saint Body. She's just genuinely talented and learns everything quickly. She's also a strong contender for the top spot in next year's college entrance exam."

Security Guard Uncle Wang suddenly understood, then said with a serious expression:

"Then you need to seize the opportunity. Girls like her, with great prospects, good talent, and who are down-to-earth and hardworking, are rare."

Su Yuan said expressionlessly:

"I just want to study right now."

Security Guard Uncle Wang: "Are you serious?"

Su Yuan: "Yes, serious."

Su Yuan truly had no intentions towards Chen Nuoyi at the moment.

He was currently just a 550-point low-tier being, making a living by working odd jobs, a good-for-nothing punk.

If he were to harbor any intentions towards Chen Nuoyi, he couldn't imagine what her Dragon King father would do to him.

For now, he still needed to rely on his System bro to develop stealthily.

As for after he's developed... hehe, I don't eat beef.
