"That’s all three divinations for today. Good night, everyone."
Shen Zhiyao ended the stream right after speaking and went to check her earnings in the back end.
She had perford three divinations today. The client for the first one, "Gan Enxin," had been so shocked that they fainted, so there was no divination fee.
The second divination was one Shen Zhiyao did for free for Granny Xunzi, at no charge.
For the third one, she had been prepared to waive the divination fee, but the other party still sent a tip.
Adding in the small gifts received in the stream, plus the 20 Carnivals from "No More Simping" and the 1,314 Carnivals from Reckless Young Master Jin...
She had received over 3,967,000 yuan worth of gifts tonight. Even after the platform took its half in commission, her inco was 1,988,000 yuan.
But just thinking about Reckless Young Master Jin gave Shen Zhiyao a headache.
The mont the thought crossed her mind, she received a private ssage from Reckless Young Master Jin:
[You there?]
[I know you’re there. Why aren’t you saying anything?]
[It says you’ve read all my ssages. Why aren’t you talking?]
[Strear, pay attention to ! How can you ignore your top supporter?]
[Say sothing! Grandmaster!]
Seeing the ssages, Shen Zhiyao knew that by accepting those 1,314 Carnivals, a bond had been ford.
[Divination by Xiao Shen: What is it? Just say it.]
[Reckless Young Master Jin: Holy shit, you’re blunt! You’re supposed to chat with a little first.]
[Divination by Xiao Shen: What is it? Just get to the point!]
[Reckless Young Master Jin: Well... I want to ask you to do a face reading for . I spent all night trying to get a connection and failed... You probably haven’t gone back to Beijing City yet, right... Are you free tomorrow? Can you read my face in person?]
[Reckless Young Master Jin: Na your price for the divination fee.]
[Divination by Xiao Shen: Tomorrow at 8 a.m., 7th-floor buffet restaurant at the Seven Days Hotel. I can give you half an hour for an in-person eting.]
[Reckless Young Master Jin: Huh? I’ll still be at the hospital at 8 a.m. You know my foot is injured. I probably can’t get discharged that early.]
[Divination by Xiao Shen: I won’t wait.]
Reckless Young Master Jin wanted to argue with Shen Zhiyao, but the system notified him that she had already logged off.
Reckless Young Master Jin: "Fuck!!!"
At eight in the morning, Shen Zhiyao was already seated in the hotel’s buffet restaurant, enjoying a delicious breakfast.
Every dish in the restaurant was exquisite and delicious, but she still preferred barbecue. It was more down-to-earth and better suited her palate.
A little over ten minutes later, Reckless Young Master Jin arrived in a wheelchair.
With his ostentatious green hair, combined with the wheelchair, he was particularly eye-catching in the crowd.
His eyes swept across the restaurant and quickly found Shen Zhiyao, who was eating a steak with chopsticks.
Reckless Young Master Jin leaned in and reminded her, "You’re supposed to use a knife and fork for steak."
Shen Zhiyao asked, "Why?"
"Using a knife and fork is clean, hygienic, and elegant," said Reckless Young Master Jin.
"Oh."
Shen Zhiyao paid him no mind, continuing to pick up pieces of steak with her chopsticks and chew them slowly.
If it were anyone else, eating steak with chopsticks would look strange, but on Shen Zhiyao, it seed perfectly natural.
Her elegance and grace seed to emanate from her very bones. Even eating steak with chopsticks, she appeared clean and deft.
Reckless Young Master Jin stared at her, almost forgetting the purpose of his visit.
Shen Zhiyao put down her chopsticks and said, "You’re already ten minutes late. If you have sothing to say, say it quickly. Otherwise, the offer’s off."
Reckless Young Master Jin hurriedly explained, "To see you, I didn’t even have ti to finish my discharge paperwork this morning. My foot is still killing . Every step feels like I’m walking on the tip of a knife."
Shen Zhiyao took a sip of tea. "Go on. What do you want to divine?"
"Honestly, I used to hate things like fortune-telling and face reading because I’ve been a victim of it since I was a child. It all started when I was three years old..."
Reckless Young Master Jin’s father was a self-made man. By the ti he was born, his father had already, through his own efforts, beco a man who could make all of Beijing City tremble.
As the eldest son, he should have been valued by the family and set to inherit the business.
But not long after he was born, a master ca to their ho and proclaid that he was cursed, a heavenly cursed lone star who was born to be the bane of his father.
His father believed it without a second thought. From then on, his father grew distant, leaving him in the care of a nanny.
In twenty-four years, he only saw his father three tis, and each ti, all his father would say was, "Do you have enough money to spend?"
He never once asked about his studies or if anyone at school was bullying him.
He enjoyed the infinite wealth his family provided, but his inner world was barren.
Now, he had graduated from college.
If it were any other rich kid, he would have already been given a position in the family business to prepare for taking over.
But Reckless Young Master Jin was treated as if he’d been forgotten by the family, with no arrangents made for him whatsoever.
To get his father’s attention, he did everything as a youth—street racing, dyeing his hair, getting into fights.
But no matter how much trouble he caused, his father didn’t care. He wouldn’t even show a hint of concern.
It was always his mother who ca to see him.
But his mother was also very busy. She only ca back to see him occasionally, and usually, she would just ask, "Is the money enough?"
At this point, Reckless Young Master Jin hung his head, a hint of sadness in his voice. "A lot of people don’t understand why I want to be an online influencer. The truth is, I just want to prove to my dad that I have so ability, that I can carve out my own path without relying on him!"
The line was so impassioned it almost made Shen Zhiyao laugh. "You don’t rely on your dad, but you use his money to flaunt your wealth, and then you beco an influencer on your own family’s streaming platform to rake in cash?"
Reckless Young Master Jin: "..."
Now that Shen Zhiyao put it that way, Reckless Young Master Jin couldn’t find a single thing wrong with her logic!
Shen Zhiyao said, "Get to the point. I’m busy today and don’t have ti to listen to your life story."
Reckless Young Master Jin was a bit indignant. "The deceased Susu was enough to move you to pity, enough that you were willing to set out even without a divination fee! What about ? My life has been so miserable for the past twenty-plus years, and you can’t even feel a little sympathy for ?"
Shen Zhiyao said, "I have no sympathy for people who are so poor that all they have is money."
Hearing that, he suddenly felt comforted by Shen Zhiyao’s words.
Reckless Young Master Jin’s mood instantly brightened. "You’re right. I still have a lot of money. A fortune that most families couldn’t earn in several generations! My dad might not care about , but my mom does. My mom is really good to . No matter how busy she is with work, she’ll co stay with for a few days every month. She gives whatever I want."
Shen Zhiyao sighed helplessly. "The point. What do you want to divine?"
Reckless Young Master Jin said, "I just feel like I’ve been especially unlucky this year. A flowerpot fell on when I went out. I trip over obstacles when I walk. I even went to a car-et, and my car completely broke down. I’ve had countless injuries, big and small, this year. I never used to believe in fate, but after eting you, I do."
After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves to show the various scars on his arms, as well as large, dark bruises. Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought Reckless Young Master Jin had suffered so kind of inhuman abuse!
"This one is from a car accident. When I went to that car-et, that girl ran right into and knocked to the ground."
"And this one is from when I was blow-drying my hair. The cord broke and I got an electric shock."
"This one is the most infuriating. I was walking down the street, and a stray dog, which wasn’t bothering anyone else, suddenly rushed over and bit twice as I passed."
"Grandmaster, please, take a look for . When is this streak of bad luck going to end? I really don’t want to get hurt by another accident."
Shen Zhiyao shook her head and said with regret, "This is only the beginning. Your bad luck will continue, and it will only get worse. It’s relentless and won’t stop until you’re dead."
Reckless Young Master Jin never expected that as unlucky as he already was, this was only the beginning.
