Chapter 185: Chapter 121: Daughter of Destiny
The Dawn Potion Shop hasn’t changed; it still has a punk-style decor, and the neon sign emits a faint light, which clashes a bit with the surrounding unified future technology.
Sabo won’t privately change his things; the Finance Officer has a lot of power, overseeing building updates, rchants, and finances.
It’s the early morning, and there are no custors in the shop. The two girls primarily work during the day, and at night they’re either sleeping or reading; everyone in this world is very diligent.
Those who have experienced hardship will cherish sweetness even more when they taste it.
As Baiyi stepped through the door, he imdiately saw Aileen sitting behind the counter, holding a controller and enthusiastically pressing sothing.
Tap, tap, tap...
He knocked on the door fra.
Aileen instinctively looked up, then rembered sothing and quickly hid what she was holding behind her back, grinning, "Hehe, boss, you’re back."
"Play fewer gas. If Luoning’s tier catches up with you, I’ll dock your pay." Baiyi said, disappointed.
Being a Life Sacrifice practitioner, that’s such a high-end profession, practically the pinnacle of the healer community, and she’s actually playing gas!
Aileen’s expression froze, and her eyes darted around before she quietly replied, "Got it..."
Click, click, click...
"Boss, you’re back!"
Hurried footsteps sounded, and Luoning ca running out of the room, sweetly calling.
Baiyi looked left and right, falling silent. Oh, is Luoning at the Bronze Middle Tier? And her level seems quite high.
A thirteen-year-old Bronze Middle Tier Divination Master. If this news got out, the legislators in the Capital City would probably rush over overnight to take her away, right?
Baiyi carefully observed Luoning. After her diet improved, she had beco noticeably plumper, her little face carrying a bit of baby fat, looking rather cute.
"Luoning is doing well; her salary will increase to eight hundred." He said while giving Aileen a disdainful look, "You too, but from now on, your clinic has to be open for sixteen hours before closing."
Aileen was first surprised, then her head drooped again, "Oh, got it."
She turned around to pick up the ga console she bought for three gold coins and quietly put it back in her pocket.
"Boss, this is the salary card you asked
to keep."
Listening to Baiyi’s reprimand, Luoning shrank her neck timidly. She extended her hands and handed a Dawn Badge to Baiyi.
"Cultivate well." Baiyi reached out to take it, patted Luoning on the head, and walked towards the laboratory, "Call
if anything cos up."
"Um... boss." Luoning suddenly spoke, looking at Baiyi with so confusion in her eyes.
Baiyi stopped, turned around, and asked gently, "What is it?"
"Wait a minute." Luoning dashed back to the room, returning shortly with a book. She quickly flipped through it and looked at Baiyi, a bit torn.
"Boss, your destiny is a bit missing." Luoning said worriedly, "Are you being targeted by soone?"
Baiyi paused, recalling the Divine Showcase, which consus a portion of destiny before use.
Back then, he couldn’t have allowed anyone else to write the requests on his behalf. The strong in the Nightmare World are very shrewd; exposing any flaws might an losing the Divine Showcase. Unexpectedly, Luoning spotted it at once.
"No, it’s an item that consus destiny." Baiyi asked in a relaxed tone, "Is it serious?"
Luoning glanced at the book, then at Baiyi, pondering as she said, "I’m not sure; I can only see that you’ll have bad luck. Your destiny is different from others..."
Luoning flipped through the book again, and after finishing the dozens of pages, she puzzledly said, "I can’t find any Power of Destiny similar to yours."
Baiyi was curious, "What does it look like?"
Aileen was also full of curiosity, looked around, took out a milk bottle, drinking while listening, as if it was quite interesting.
Luoning scrutinized it, not quite sure, "It’s like a bully, very fierce, I don’t know how to describe it, it’s not recorded."
Baiyi: ...
A bully? What kind of description is that? But he breathed a sigh of relief; if it was just bad luck, it didn’t matter: "Do you know when the bad luck will end?"
Luoning thought for a bit, then approached Baiyi, pulling him to her workstation, placing his hand on the Crystal Ball, while putting her hand on the back of his.
She closed her eyes and began to chant softly. As the star map flickered, images appeared in Luoning’s view. When a pair of scarlet eyes appeared before her, her hand shook, and she let go of Baiyi’s hands.
"Huh?" Luoning said very confusedly, "Boss, your Power of Destiny seems not to be lost. Soone might trouble you tonight, and after this trouble, it will return. A force is pulling on your destiny, I don’t know what it is because it won’t let
see. Moreover, boss, it seems like you’re going to get a promotion, which can greatly increase your destiny power, yet it still won’t let
see, and it scolds ."
Luoning muttered, looking at Baiyi with very odd eyes. She’s looked at many people in the city, and she can easily see their destinies, but Baiyi’s just gets more confusing the more she looks.
In her perspective, Baiyi’s destiny was like a bully; if she tried to get close, it’d warn her, and if she ignored the warnings and continued to approach, a red-eyed figure would appear wanting to hit her, causing her to quickly flee.
Baiyi: ...
Destiny is such a mysterious thing, he’s not quite sure either, but when the Golden Divination Master in the Capital City arrives, he can inquire, after all, Luoning’s potential is very high.
