I have been an exemplary student since childhood, respecting teachers and valuing morals.
How could I possibly harbor a rebellious mindset?
Your divination this ti is definitely off!”
Su Ran naturally wouldn’t admit it and imdiately denied it.
What a joke, in ancient tis this would be the cri of treason, a surefire death penalty!
“Hehe, whether it’s recklessly said or not, you understand better than anyone else.
Don’t worry, this old crone is just a fortune-teller, a little financial loss for averting disasters, that’s all.”
The old woman wasn’t surprised by Su Ran’s vehent reaction; on the contrary, it confird the truthfulness of her words.
She revealed a aningful smile and stretched out her withered palm to Su Ran, “If you want to continue with the divination, 600 immortal coins, thank you for your cooperation.”
“Damn, wasn’t it 500 immortal coins?
Just in this short while, it went up by 100 immortal coins?
Isn’t this bullying the custor?”
Su Ran was suddenly displeased.
These 600 immortal coins were exchanged with his life at stake; how could he easily let the system reclaim them?
“Can’t help it, I’ve divined it.
Your wealth luck just appeared, no more no fewer, exactly 600 immortal coins.
Young man, I’m not wrong, am I?”
Deal.
It was then that Su Ran realized he was dealing with a divine fortune-teller.
In front of her, he would have no secrets at all; if this continued, even his ancestors eighteen generations back would be dug up!
No way, this is not a place to stay for long!
“Anyway, I won’t do it anymore.
I’m not in good shape today, let’s talk so other day…”
Su Ran was sowhat reluctant to face this old crone.
This was just too spooky!
“You want to wait for another day?
Hehe, when the wars ignite, do you still think you can remain uninvolved?
If you miss today, even if you wanted to, there would be no more chances!”
“What?”
Struck by the old woman’s words like a bolt of lightning, Su Ran realized she had long divined that the war was inevitable.
Coupled with his own rebellious label, she had nearly predicted his future trajectory in this brief ti, truly inconceivable!
“Senior, here are 600 immortal coins, please be rciful with your words.”
Su Ran obediently handed over the immortal coins, respecting the old woman to the point of prostration, daring not to harbor any crooked thoughts anymore.
“Hehe, taking a person’s money to dispel their disasters.
Young man, you seem enlightened now.
Speak up, what do you wish to ask?”
After receiving the money, the old woman instantly changed her facial expression, her eyes and brows filled with laughter, her face wrinkled with smiles, “Speak freely; in this room, cause and effect are shielded.
No need to hold any reservations.”
“Senior, you’ve figured everything out already, no need for to repeat it, right?”
Su Ran forced a bitter smile.
Conversing with such a person felt utterly disadvantageous, even having to be extra cautious with words—a genuinely uncomfortable feeling!
“Hehehe, young man, you catch on quick.
Well then, I won’t make things difficult for you.
The truth is, you are the only variable in Fire God City, and only you can change the fate of Fire God City.
Rember, stay firm in your convictions, and do not waver!”
“Senior, are you saying…”
Moved by her words, Su Ran wondered if this ant he was ant to rebel all the way to the end?
For so reason, he recollected the abnormal behavior of those two guards, their strange reluctance to speak.
What exactly had the Fire God done to provoke such divine punishnt and resentnt, that even his own people showed an attitude of disdain?
“Better unsaid than said; once spoken, the magic is gone.”
The old woman gently shook her head, not explaining further in this regard, and pointed at the black and white mask on Su Ran’s face, “The fact that this fire-avoiding mask chose you is also your luck.
It’s the equipnt most detested by the Fire God, without a doubt.
Rember, you must not use this fire-avoiding mask until absolutely necessary!”
“Senior, how will I know when the critical mont is?
Could you tell a specific ti and place so I can be prepared?”
Su Ran followed up closely, eager to probe for any bit of information, which would be a significant aid for his subsequent plot!
“Do you really need to teach you?
When your life is at risk, then using the mask wouldn’t be too late!”
The old woman let out a cold laugh, “As for the Fire God Trial, I advise you not to hold too much hope.
In the end, you will find it all a futile effort, a wasted endeavor!”
“How so?”
Upon hearing these words, Su Ran was stunned, as her statent completely overturned his understanding of the trials.
He had thought that completing the trials would qualify him to leave.
Looking at it now, it’s not as simple as he thought!
A wasted endeavor…
Could it be that even the Fire Source Sphere would be reclaid by the system?
How could that be acceptable!
For Su Ran, the Fire Source Sphere’s importance was second only to the precious Illusion Demon Stele; he couldn’t afford any mishaps!
For this Fire Source Sphere, he’s willing to give up the Fire God Trial itself!
“When you’re in the ga, you’re bound by it.
All you need to do is break free from it.
How to do that, well, you’re on your own now.”
The old crone finished speaking and waved her hand at Su Ran, a clear gesture to show out the guest, “Young man, I’ve said all there is to say.
Whether you listen or not is up to you.
Our fate has ended, no need to co back again.”
“Co on, that’s 600 fairy coins, and that’s it?
Just a few words and we’re done?
This industry is way too profitable!”
Su Ran dared not say this out loud but couldn’t help complaining inside.
He still didn’t understand anything and now he was being shown the door?
“Senior, you haven’t told …”
“Get out!”
Before Su Ran could finish speaking, the old crone sprang to her feet and glared at him angrily, “You’re not welco here, get out!”
Wow, talk about a complete turnaround!
Don’t try to guess a woman’s heart; this old lady is proof of that…
Su Ran didn’t want to offend the old crone, so he reluctantly bid her farewell and left the place.
As for the task clue given by the NPC, he could only ponder over it carefully.
Listening to the old crone, the Fire God Trial wasn’t to be taken lightly.
He definitely didn’t want to end up empty-handed, so for now, better to find Uncle Yu’s repair solution first.
It was a side mission that could also earn Uncle Yu’s loyalty – why not?
An Uncle Yu in his own domain and the Uncle Yu in Fire God City, being two completely different characters, what kind of signal was that sending?
Su Ran racked his brain and couldn’t figure out the connection, so he just assud it was a coincidence of nas.
“Ding Ding Ding.”
Just as Su Ran was about to return to the marketplace, his phone rang at an inopportune ti.
In this special plot space, he couldn’t receive calls from friends in-ga, but calls from the outside world could still get through, a touch of user-focused design.
Finding a relatively safe spot, Su Ran logged off and checked his phone.
It was a call from Sister Wan’er.
“Sister Wan’er, what’s up?”
“Don’t you know what ti it is?
If there’s nothing urgent in the ga, log off now, it’s ti for dinner!”
Li Wan’er’s pleasant voice ca from the phone, “I’ve dished everything out, if it gets cold, I’m not responsible!”
“Understood!”
After hanging up, Su Ran faintly heard the clattering of pots and pans.
It seed that Wan’er was still busy in the kitchen, sacrificing her gaming ti for his als, a real hardship for her.
“ow~”
Seeing Su Ran put down his phone, Little Black pounced over, its intelligent big eyes looking him up and down, not forgetting to point its little paw at a small bottle of Nutrient Solution on the table, then burrowed into his embrace and hid.
“Little Black, thanks for the reminder.
I almost forgot.”
After downing the Nutrient Solution, Su Ran then stepped out of the bedroom and approached the dining table.
“Little Ran, you logged off so quickly?
Wait a bit, this dish will be ready in a mont!”
Li Wan’er’s voice ca from the kitchen, warming Su Ran’s heart and filling him with appreciation.
Just as Su Ran was about to go to the bathroom, a series of urgent doorbell rings ca from outside.
“Huh?”
A puzzled look appeared in Su Ran’s eyes; he couldn’t figure out who would co to visit.
Could it be that Wan’er had invited soone else over?
Or could it be…
Mom is back?
At this thought, Su Ran couldn’t help feeling excited.
Haphazardly throwing on a thick coat, he went out and opened the front door.
Standing before Su Ran wasn’t anyone else, but his deskmate, Lin Yuqing.
“Su Ran, surprised or what, did you expect this?”
Upon seeing Su Ran, Lin Yuqing greeted him with a sweet smile.
“Yu Jing, how co you’re back so early?”
Su Ran didn’t expect Yu Jing to return so quickly, he was truly surprised and quickly stepped aside, “Co in quickly, it’s cold outside!”
