The True Terror of a Child of Fortune!
"Experience what it feels like to be a child of fortune?"
Looking at the proper screen before him, which had turned from pink to gold, Tianyu's eyes widened in disbelief. His mouth hung open wide enough to fit a big banana.
"Good, good, good! Since there's a new feature, let me give it a proper try!" Tianyu smiled faintly. The next moment, an idea occurred to him, and he closed his eyes in thought.
In the original story, Tang San escaped danger time and again. Whenever he survived a great calamity, good fortune was sure to follow, and he could even gain an occasional insight during battle.
I finally get to experience that kind of protagonist treatment...
All these years, I haven't had a single storage-type Soul Tool. Every time I take the Heaven-Breaking Stone and all my odds and ends out of my backpack, it's quite a hassle.
If I had a storage-type Soul Tool like Tang San's Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges...
At that thought, Tianyu stirred his mind. Unfortunately, though he waited expectantly for a long time, the golden screen before him didn't so much as light up, and he didn't even lose any Fortune Points.
Time passed...
Nearly half an incense stick later, Tianyu was almost asleep.
"Wait, where's my Soul Tool? Don't tell me this new mode doesn't work?"
[Current Fortune Points: 469!]
"My Fortune Points still haven't gone down. Am I using it the wrong way? Then I'll try thinking of something else..."
Tianyu sighed inwardly, a little disappointed. Little did he know, the bullet needed to fly a little longer!
Meanwhile, in the girls' dormitory, Xiao Wu had just returned from her master's side when she saw that Ning Rongrong was still awake too. For a moment, the two stared at each other.
"Xiao Wu, where did you go? How did you suddenly disappear?"
Ning Rongrong was somewhat puzzled. In the moonlight, her well-behaved face looked exceptionally fresh and clear, though a closer look suggested she was feeling guilty as a thief.
Out of Xiao Wu's sight, Ning Rongrong was hiding a letter she had just finished writing behind her back, and her expression was a little unnatural.
"Oh, I'm fine~" Xiao Wu smiled awkwardly, a faint blush lingering on her face the entire time.
Then Xiao Wu, tired after a long day, returned to her own bed, pulled the covers over herself, and pretended to sleep.
Under the covers, however, a glint of wisdom shone in Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes, and she made a secret vow.
For her master's command, she would definitely ask Third Brother for those two things. At the thought, Xiao Wu's ears grew even redder and burned hot~
"Hehe~ When the time comes, Xiao Wu wants a reward from Master too!"
"How strange..." Ning Rongrong glanced at Xiao Wu and muttered, somewhat speechless. Then the corners of her lips lifted slightly as her imagination began to wander.
Hehe... If I can recruit that man called Tianyu for Dad and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone will definitely praise me too!
Especially for the secret of that thousand-year second ring, hehe~ At the thought, Ning Rongrong couldn't help grinning foolishly. On closer inspection, she really did look a bit like a Little Demoness.
But before she had smiled for three seconds, her delicate brows began to knit.
I never expected him not to appreciate this young lady's beauty at all. In that case, I'll tempt him with something else!
Looking at the letter in her hand, its ink not yet dry, Ning Rongrong was full of confidence. In it,
besides describing the situation in detail, she instructed her father, Ning Fengzhi, to send some money or extremely precious treasures, such as...
Treasures like Soul Tools!
Especially storage-type Soul Tools. Ning Rongrong didn't know why, but as if guided by ghosts and gods, she had written down storage-type Soul Tools, because she kept feeling that someone would like one.
And in fact, she was right!
Elsewhere, Tianyu was still scratching his head in confusion when his Fortune Points suddenly dropped by 51!
"Huh? My Fortune Points actually went down. What's going on?"
"I've been charged before my Soul Tool even arrived?!"
Tianyu was utterly bewildered. Little did he know that the Soul Tool accounted for only thirty percent of those fifty-one Fortune Points.
The remaining seventy percent was, in fact, Fortune's passive consumption. Whenever anyone entertained improper thoughts about Tianyu, or even thoughts unfavorable to him, they would immediately abandon them.
In other words, this was the truly terrifying ability of a child of fortune!
In the not-too-distant future...
When Ning Fengzhi received the letter from his daughter Ning Rongrong, Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo were both at his side.
"Is this true? Rong'er actually found a genius with a thousand-year second ring at Shrek Academy?" Bone Douluo's pupils contracted sharply as he spoke in disbelief.
Beside him, Sword Douluo also shook his head slightly. As Titled Douluo, both men knew all too well how difficult it was to absorb a Soul Ring beyond one's level.
Much less a thousand-year second ring!
"There should be no mistake. Rongrong wouldn't play a prank about something this important." Ning Fengzhi had great faith in his daughter. He sighed before speaking.
"That's wonderful! In that case, I'll go capture the lad right away. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can't miss out on the secret of absorbing Soul Rings beyond one's level." Bone Douluo was visibly excited.
The next moment, however, Ning Fengzhi immediately stopped him. Not only did he grant Ning Rongrong's request and personally select a top-grade Soul Tool from the sect treasury,
he also gave Ning Rongrong specific instructions to befriend someone. If the other party was aloof, she was to go up to him herself and befriend him!
A glint of wisdom flickered in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. Whatever else might be said, he had great confidence in Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong: "?"
Why do I get the feeling my own father is even thinking of selling me off~
Back in the present, just as Tianyu stood there bewildered, the golden screen suddenly shone with dazzling light, accompanied by a ding.
Ding-
[Your fortuitous opportunity is being packed and is expected to arrive in three days!]
"I see! The fortuitous opportunities exchanged for Fortune Points aren't obtained out of thin air. They're delivered in reality through reasonable means and in a reasonable form!"
Understanding dawned on Tianyu. Without his noticing, sage mode had already worn off, and his body began to heat up again.
Meanwhile, in a tavern in Suotuo City.
Dai Mubai, wanting to cry but having no tears, was drinking to drown his sorrows. Beside him, Ma Hongjun was the only person he could pour his troubles out to.
"Boss Dai, why put yourself through so much pain? She's just one woman. Who even knows how many you've played with?" Ma Hongjun remarked, speechless.
"What do you know? Zhu Zhuqing is my fiancée, my woman, and also my hope for revenge!"
Dai Mubai ground his teeth in anger. As he spoke, little pearls fell from his eyes, and snot streamed from his nose.
After an unknown length of time, Dai Mubai drained a bottle of wine in one gulp. A glimmer of hope seemed to appear in his eyes as he looked at Ma Hongjun with a sincere and expectant expression and asked,
"Fatty, do you think Zhu Zhuqing might keep herself chaste?"
Ma Hongjun: "..."
Tianyu: "Stop making Sister Qing laugh!"
Zhu Zhuqing: "Oh ho ho~"
