Chapter 269: I’m a Man Who Has Watched Eighteen Romance Drama Series!
Qing Ming City.
In the shop.
Staring at Wu Hongfei who was dangling from the wall, Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.
Well...
Should he silence him?
However, upon pondering his options, he rembered that Old Wu ca to help him. How could he bring himself to silence him? Furthermore, he wanted to find out how Old Wu discovered Brother Cat...
Cough.
“Co here. Be careful.”
Lu Ming and Xiaobai went to pull Wu Hongfei off the wall.
Crash!
A large stone fell from the wall.
Dust and soil flew in the air.
“Are you alright?” Lu Ming asked concernedly.
Wu Hongfei was no longer a Swordsman. Could his body endure that?
“It’s okay. My fitness level won’t go away. It’s still the sa.”
Wu Hongfei shook his head dazedly and then rembered sothing. He suddenly said to Lu Ming, “Don’t move. Stand there! Let try sothing!”
With that...
He aid at Lu Ming and cast an ability!
“Evil spirits, erge!”
Wu Hongfei’s deep voice could be heard.
Shush!
A beam of purple lights perforated Lu Ming. However, they were ineffective.
“Huh?”
Wu Hongfei furrowed his brows. “Why doesn’t it work?”
That was strange.
Clearly, he saw sothing!
Lu Ming was expressionless.
Wasn’t it too impolite for him to strike at his face the mont they t?!
Wait a minute.
He rembered that Old Wu was a Cleric. Shouldn’t you be lifting curses or sothing?
“This is strange.”
Wu Hongfei had a sudden realization. “Perhaps this strange cat has already reached a certain level...”
Bam!
A black shadow flashed.
Wu Hongfei was blasted out again.
Lu Ming was silent.
Looking at the damaged walls in the shop, Xiaobai’s heart sowhat ached... They needed to spend money on a renovation again...
After a long ti...
The duo pulled Wu Hongfei off the wall.
...
“That thing just now...”
Wu Hongfei was shocked and terrified.
“Shut up!
Lu Ming quickly covered his mouth. “Don’t say anymore. Calm down and listen to , okay? That’s a cat spirit, not a card monster. It’s my... card spirit!”
Lu Ming emphasized.
“Yes,” Xiaobai repeated seriously.
She rembered that, a long ti ago, her master told her before that his card spirit was a cat.
Wu Hongfei was dumbfounded.
Card spirit?
Cat?
Crap! Such things exist?!
Wait a minute!
He held onto his round disc and his eyes shone again. He glanced at Lu Ming. This ti, he saw a stretch of void. The strange cat actually disappeared!
“You can’t see it anymore?”
Lu Ming smiled and looked at him.
“Yes.”
Wu Hongfei was filled with doubts.
“It has probably returned to the card after you scared it.”
Lu Ming smiled but said nothing.
What a joke.
Would it still be Brother Cat if you could discover it?!
Initially, it was not on its guard. After all, Wu Hongfei was a salted fish and nobody expected him to have the ability to see Brother Cat... Afterward, Brother Cat started to beco wary and there was nothing that Wu Hongfei could do anymore.
“Alright.”
Wu Hongfei was convinced.
Card spirit...
It was no wonder it punched him.
He took a dignified spirit body for a cat monster, wasn’t he asking for a beating?
“Why didn’t you use sothing to lift curses?” Lu Ming asked.
“I can’t use them.”
Wu Hongfei felt very wronged. “My abilities are a little strange... Last ti, soone who was cursed ca to look for . I refused to help him. He held a dagger to my neck and forced to cast healing abilities on him... After I did that, he died. He didn’t even have a chance to kick his leg. He just died on the spot.”
Lu Ming was shocked.
Can that happen?
Is this the legendary ‘Artosis Curse’?!
“I don’t know why either.”
Wu Hongfei was very troubled. “I also ca here to ask you sothing. Can you contact Senior Qiu and ask her what she ant when she said that I’m suited to be a Cleric?”
Lu Ming was silent.
Senior Qiu?
A pair of huge boobs flashed across his mind...
Oh.
The words of Senior Qiu... Perhaps she was just making a passing comnt.
“I’ll try my best to find out.”
Lu Ming said in a deep voice, “However, she’s a seven-star... She may not bother about us.”
“Understood.”
Wu Hongfei’s expression was grave.
Although his life had been quite good recently, he was very worried about his future. After all, most Clerics had healing abilities. What would happen to him?!
However...
He would talk about it later.
Since Lu Ming was helping him contact Senior Qiu, of course, he had to give his best.
“If it’s not the cat... spirit...”
Wu Hongfei paused for a mont. “What do you want to find out?”
“Did anything scan this place?”
Lu Ming looked solemn.
“I’ll see.”
Wu Hongfei took things out from his bag. It was a compass that was worn out and a sensor that seed broken. Afterward, he began to recite.
“Is this what a Cleric does?”
Lu Ming was deeply skeptical.
“I learned it from the books.”
Wu Hongfei coughed.
“What book?”
“A novel.”
“I have no choice. All of my abilities... can’t be used. I was counting on the healing abilities of a Cleric to be able to earn quick bucks like Card Creators. But it turned out like this... I can only pick up so miscellaneous skills to earn money. Fortunately, this has been in demand in Qing Ming City recently. Haha.”
Shush!
Shush!
The compass rotated.
The sensor buzzed.
Monts later.
Wu Hongfei could already tell sothing. “Deduction ability... It’s not a big deal. Earlier on, soone wanted to deduce your location...”
“You can even tell this?”
Lu Ming was surprised.
“I’m serious about making money.”
Wu Hongfei was filled with pride.
“Thank you.”
Lu Ming expressed his thanks.
Deduction...
This kind of thing was very delusional.
Based on Lu Ming’s understanding, if he were to liken the world of deductions to the Internet, a deduction was akin to a ‘search’. People would search ‘Where is Lu Ming staying?’ on the web and they could find out his ho address. There was no way to find out who the searchers were.
He did not rember offending anyone recently?!
Energy Warriors Association?
No.
He rely participated in the Illusory Realm...
Those cultivators?
Well...
That was possible.
If their family mbers were to discover that their children had re-cultivated, they might investigate him. However, his address was never a secret...
All of Qing Ming City knew about Lu Ming’s shop.
After all, he was a businessman!
They just had to do a search or investigate. Was there a need to make deductions?
Perhaps...
There was sothing that he did not know!
“You better be more careful,” Wu Hongfei reminded.
According to his understanding, usually after deducing an address, the next step was to chase the person and kill them...
“Understood.”
Lu Ming thanked him. “Let know if there’s anything I can do. I’ll help you if I can.”
Cough, cough.
Glancing at Xiaobai, Wu Hongfei suddenly pulled Lu Ming to a corner and asked him in a hushed tone, “Pardon for asking... This young lady and you...”
Shush!
There was a cold flash in Lu Ming’s eyes.
“Believe it or not, I’ll kill you if you dare to hit on her!”
Lu Ming sneered coldly.
Wu Hongfei was speechless.
Damn!
Do you have to be such a hypocritical brother?!
You’ve just said that you’ll help and, in the next mont, you want to kill ?!
Besides...
He did not intend to harm her!
“I don’t want much.” Wu Hongfei quietly lounged towards him. “I just wanted to ask. Since you’re with Miss Xiaobai, Xiaoqing... Cough cough.. Can you give her contact number?”
Lu Ming was taken aback.
Crap! It turned out that he had been waiting for this!
“Wait a minute.
“Don’t you have Xiaoqing’s contact number?”
Lu Ming was surprised.
He rembered that Miss Xiaoqing happily added their contacts one by one.
“Initially, I did.”
Wu Hongfei sighed. “After I forwarded her the article ‘The Impact of Parental Genes on the Enhancent of the Next Generation’, it disappeared.”
Lu Ming was silent.
He patted Wu Hongfei’s shoulders and expressed his condolence.
“Here, take this.”
He gave Miss Xiaoqing’s contact information to Wu Hongfei.
This was not a secret anyway. Given Miss Xiaoqing’s character, she most probably had nurous friends. It was not a problem to include one more – Wu Hongfei.
However, Lu Ming suddenly thought of sothing.
“Wait a minute. Xiaoqing’s contact...”
Just as he wanted to stop Wu Hongfei...
“You can’t go back on your word!”
Wu Hongfei’s eyes widened. “I shed a few drops of blood today to help you find out about the deduction, won’t you feel bad if you let go ho empty-handed?!”
“No, I...” Lu Ming explained.
“Just tell whether the contact number is correct?” Wu Hongfei asked.
“Yes, but...”
Lu Ming was helpless.
“That’s right. Don’t go back on your word. Ha!”
Wu Hongfei slipped away imdiately.
Tsk tsk.
He had seen Lu Ming and Gao Xiaoqing behaving ambiguously! He had finally fooled Lu Ming into giving him Gao Xiaoqing’s number after much difficulty. How could he give up?!
He had to leave as soon as possible!
Snort!
For the sake of wooing girls, he was a man who had watched eighteen romance drama series!
Between two good friends, if one of them said that he wanted to woo her, the other could only give his blessings silently...
If Lu Ming were to really say ‘But I like Gao Xiaoqing’... After thinking about it, he might really feel apologetic about wooing her. Therefore, he had to leave as soon as possible!
I can’t let you say that!
The next ti they were to et, perhaps he and Xiaoqing would already have a child. Hahaha!
Affairs of the heart...
Whoever restrained himself was a fool!
Haha!
Miss Xiaoqing, I’m coming.
...
Wu Hongfei left happily.
Stunned and speechless, Lu Ming watched the departing figure leave.
“Master, what did you want to say just now?”
Xiaobai had been looking on curiously when her master wanted to say sothing a few tis but was interrupted.
“Nothing.”
Lu Ming sighed. “I wanted to tell him that Miss Xiaoqing has been cultivating recently and her communication device is with her sister-complexed elder brother most of the ti.”
Xiaobai smiled to herself.
Why did she have the feeling that her master did it on purpose?
Hum.
Master was getting more and more naughty...
But then again, was Miss Xiaoqing the beautiful elder sister whom she saw the last ti?
Well...
She had such long legs.
“Xiaobai.”
Lu Ming rubbed her tiny head. “Don’t go to the market for the ti being. Since soone wants to deduce our location, there may be danger.”
“Okay,” Xiaobai replied obediently.
“Deduction...”
Lu Ming looked to a distance.
Who wanted to find their location?
Or perhaps...
They wanted to find sothing?
Suddenly...
Whoosh!
Xiao-Xiaojian’s body was glowing again.
“What’s the matter?”
Lu Ming was suddenly alard.
“The sa powers...”
Xiao-Xiaojian’s mind trembled too. “Although it’s much weaker than before, I can still sense the familiar power... Most likely they are still deducing!”
They did not know what it was initially. But after Wu Hongfei explained it to them, they already knew that this power was the so-called deduction ability.
Now, Xiao-Xiaojian could already analyze this ability accurately.
“Is it still the sa person?”
Lu Ming frowned.
“I don’t think so.”
Xiao-Xiaojian pondered for a mont. “The power is completely different.”
“Really?”
Lu Ming pondered deeply.
After a long ti...
Shush!
Another beam of light swept across the room.
Another beam of the deduction ability scanned them.
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
If it had not been following Lu Ming the whole ti, it really wanted to ask him ‘Did you steal soone’s chicken nest? The entire world is making deductions on you!’
“I don’t know.”
Lu Ming found it odd.
Deduction ability...
He did not notice this before.
If not for the fact that the last deduction ability was too strong and alerted Xiao-Xiaojian, they would not notice this force at all!
It was too negligible!
It was too wispy!
And now...
Once Xiao-Xiaojian began to detect it, it actually discovered the presence of such forces at all tis!
“Eh?”
It’s not just you.”
Xiao-Xiaojian suddenly flew outside the shop. Deductions also swept across the lower-level cultivators passing by in the streets. It was shocked to discover that it was over everyone!
The deduction ability was covering everyone!
“All of them have this...”
Lu Ming suddenly figured out sothing.
“Wait a minute.”
He imdiately downloaded a book on introduction to deduction studies and flipped the pages briefly. After gaining a better understanding of the deduction process, he was instantly enlightened.
It turned out that...
Their reality was the deduced world!
In the eyes of the Scouts, they were looking at another world!
In their eyes, every individual and item were closely related. All of them ford nodes that ford the deduced world. As a result, they could make deductions!
Regardless of the individual or item, it was just a piece of data in their world!
They could view a certain thing in all states and forms; from the top, from the back, from the side and even through the eyes of a passerby.
For example... Lu Ming!
If soone were to deduce Lu Ming’s location and activated the deduction of the world, they would be able to retrieve the nodes which were associated with Lu Ming. Even if soone had t Lu Ming only once, they could pull that out too!
Afterward, they would summarize and analyze, eventually retrieving all the information about Lu Ming.
Age, height, ability, looks...
Lu Ming in the eyes of passersby, Lu Ming in the eyes of students, Lu Ming in the eyes of his enemies...
Wait a minute.
When they collated all of this...
It would eventually form the real Lu Ming!
The more powerful they were, the closer the deduced Lu Ming was to reality!
This was a deduction!
Of course.
This thing was called ‘big data’ in Lu Ming’s previous world.
However...
The foundation of big data was information. Deduction in this world was based on mysterious and illusory powers. Once the entire deduced world was ford...
Well...
The deduction would beco very simple!
If they were to simplify the deduction process, tactics and techniques, and only look at the input and the outco, it would be much easier to comprehend.
This thing was basically a search engine!
Just as what Lu Ming had said earlier — They just needed to do a search!
Deduction activation: Where is Lu Ming?
Deduction outco: ...
Ground floor: I think I saw him at his shop earlier.
Second floor: Five minutes ago, I saw Lu Ming seemingly sending soone off at his doorstep.
Third floor: Haha, that’s right.
Fourth floor: Series of garbage characters...
Fifth floor: Hot, hot, hot...
Sixth floor: Lu Ming’s shop is in Qing Ming City.
...
Countless such ssages would confirm the authenticity of the information.
In the end...
It was concluded that Lu Ming was in his shop in Qing Ming City.
That was deduction!
