Sometimes, people need a little bit of good luck!

When luck is against you, things will go downhill!

The communicator transmitted voices, Zuo Quan, who was listening in, gained a better understanding of Zhang Xuezhou, whom he had only met briefly once.

The quickest way to understand someone is undoubtedly to eavesdrop on them from behind, rather than to observe them in person.

Zuo Quan was pleased with the conversations made through the communication device; this was a young man who valued profit.

Of course, everyone values their own interests, but saying it out loud is a difficult thing.

For example, 99% of men are attracted to beautiful women. If you ask some men who usually consider themselves gentlemen to admit this, they will definitely be stubborn and refuse to agree. But as long as you tempt them with beauty, these men will flock to you and fall into the trap of beauty.

As a junior, Zhang Xuezhou found it difficult to mention to Zuo Quan, a senior committee member, that he needed benefits in order to get work done. However, by subtly verifying the information, Zuo Quan could clearly understand Zhang Xuezhou's intentions.

He even prepared a small gift in advance, so that this young man who had narrowly escaped death could truly experience what it means to have good luck.

"The transmission of signals is ultimately too subtle. Even if he is grateful, he doesn't know where to direct his gratitude. Only by giving him small gifts from time to time can he feel the good fortune I bring!"

Zuo Quan was holding a box.

The box was filled with various gems.

He reached out and grabbed a handful of gems, which immediately emitted a faint, colorful glow.

These gems are treasures crafted by Zuo Quan, and each gem can bring effects that vary in duration and strength of luck.

It's difficult to make someone feel incredibly lucky. Some people even believe they've never been lucky in their lives, and only occasional lottery wins make them feel like they've struck gold.

But good fortune is a very common thing in life; it's just that most people take it for granted.

In fact, compared to humans thousands of years ago, modern humans are lucky to be alive every day.

Without the right environment, many lucky things are no longer considered lucky, and only stronger stimuli make people feel lucky in life.

The small gift Zuo Quan gave to Zhang Xuezhou was a lucky necklace.

"Um?"

He smugly touched his many treasures, but a sudden chill ran through him, as if something had vanished.

"You've struck it lucky so quickly?"

The communicator was still beside Zuo Quan, and the time Zuo Teng spent delivering the gift on his behalf was only a minute.

In other words, in the short time it took Zhang Xuezhou to hold the necklace, the gift from Zuo Quan had already taken effect.

The speed at which this effect took effect caught Zuo Quan off guard.

"What happened?"

He couldn't immediately figure out what lucky thing had happened to Zhang Xuezhou.

It's not surprising that Zhang Xuezhou was lucky to accept his treasure; what's surprising is how quickly the other party's luck turned out.

Just Zuo Quan cast his spell before, he was completely caught off guard, and then Zhang Xuezhou had a stroke of good luck. Now, Zhang Xuezhou had another stroke of good luck. Zuo Quan was speechless at the efficiency with which he used his luck.

"Is this considered a completely unenjoyable experience, or is the experience too overwhelming?"

Rao Zuo Quan had made various guesses, but he found it difficult to make a judgment.

What happened?

When Zhang Xuezhou arrived at the appointed time, he politely asked Zuo Teng to leave. Only then did Zuo Quan pick up his communicator and ask a question.

"Weren't you listening the whole time?" Zuo Teng asked.

"What happened to Zhang Xuezhou?" Zuo Quan emphasized, "After you gave him the necklace, what happened to him? Did something happen to him while he was adjusting the X432 device, and you helped him out?"

"He didn't encounter anything," Zuo Teng replied after thinking for a moment. "He's a tech guy, very familiar with medical equipment, and there were no malfunctions when he used it!"

"Were the electrical wires in his house exposed, and then you tidied them up?"

"No, this device is newly installed. The indoor wiring has been adjusted, and the workmanship is perfect; there's not a single sloppy spot!"

"Hasn't he changed at all?"

"After I delivered the necklace, he asked me to come out. Then, through the crack, I saw him put the necklace aside and go straight into the X432 device!"

"That can't be... Wait, what is he doing using the X432 device?"

"He said he was sick and needed to take care of himself while he was sick. You heard it yourself, he also said he was mentally ill!"

All the conversation was displayed on the communicator, and Zuo Teng even had to remind Zuo Quan.

Compared to Zuo Quan, he simply had an extra pair of eyes that could see Zhang Xuezhou.

Of course, Zuo Teng didn't notice any change in Zhang Xuezhou.

Everything was as usual, without the slightest abnormality.

"After you return to Western Capital City, I will teach you a method that will grant you a special ability!"

"What special ability?"

"This will show you clearly who is easy to mess with, who is not, and who is at the height of their power and needs your favor!"

Do you mean Zhang Xuezhou is currently at the peak of his career?

Zuo Quan thought for several seconds and decided that he should still give Zuo Teng some skills.

He didn't witness it firsthand, and relying solely on hearing sounds was insufficient to accurately assess the situation.

For example, Zhang Xuezhou twice made quick use of his luck, which happened without Zuo Quan being prepared at all, making it difficult for him to know what kind of good fortune Zhang Xuezhou had.

Zuo Quan didn't know, nor did Zuo Teng, the witness, and Zuo Quan guessed that Zhang Xuezhou knew even less.

The ability he was to grant Zuo Teng was the ability to see when such luck appeared and when it disappeared, thus enabling him to determine the nature of the matter and judge what kind of incredible luck the other party had.

Of course, this ability can also determine whether someone is having good luck or bad luck, thus allowing one to get as close to them as possible or avoid them.

"He won the championship in Wanping Province, so naturally he's at the peak of his career!"

Zuo Quan didn't explain further, simply indicating to Zuo Teng to stop talking nonsense and just follow his lead.

"This is really interesting. Even after her defeat, Zhang Qiaoen still stubbornly challenges the Western Capital City Committee!"

Zuo Teng was locked out of the room and unable to talk to Zhang Xuezhou, so he couldn't come up with any tricks. Zuo Quan then cut off the communicator.

He picked up the monitor and looked at the information constantly scrolling through the committee's internal screen.

Nearly ten days have passed since the Pei Jingmu incident, and measures related to handling the aftermath of the Pei family's death in Qing'an are being implemented one after another.

The events surrounding his later years, which were made public, presented a different picture within the committee.

This is Pei Jing, another challenger following Zhang Qiaoen in challenging the rules. He was also beaten by the committee members from a clear-headed state to a state of mental incapacity.

When Zhang Qiaoen rebelled, the Western Capital City Committee was fully responsible for dealing with the situation. However, during Pei Jing's rebellion, committee members from many provinces personally participated in the suppression, which had a particularly great impact on many committee members from other provinces and cities.

Seeing Pei Min and the others being slaughtered like dogs, and the culprit Pei Jing dying a thorough death, a lot of information kept circulating among the higher-ups, and it didn't stop even now.

Every time Zuo Quan opens his communicator, he sees dozens or even hundreds of unread messages with small red dots waiting to be clicked, and he can't help but click on them, even if he doesn't read the content, just to clear the red dot of the unread message.

He glanced at it briefly, then turned off the communicator with great satisfaction.

But as soon as he put the communicator down, an unfamiliar number started calling.

"Hello?"

Zuo Quan looked at it for a few seconds before connecting the communicator.

"What's wrong with you?"

The communicator crackled with a question, which sent a jolt through Zuo Quan's heart.

"Did you dial the wrong number? Who is this?" Zuo Quan asked cautiously.

"My name is Ron, you should know who I am!"

The response from the communicator was also a low, guttural one.

Zuo Quan took a deep breath, feeling that he had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, and that he was no longer developing alone, but had finally welcomed his most important helper.
