[New Product: Lucky Pendant]
[Lucky Pendant: Slightly increases the Luck Value of the wearer, design based on imagination]
[Note: Except for the player’s will within the range specified in the appendix, this game is unaffected by any other influences, including mall items, temporary event rewards, special skills, etc.]
"Unaffected by anything," that’s standard, but...
Being affected is no big deal! I’m not a kid anymore!
Since it’s useless, Dubian Che couldn’t be bothered to exchange it, and he silently repeated in his mind "God Kiyono bless me!" as he hurried to check the skills.
[Skills: Entry-level—Mahjong (100), Master—Magic Performances (1000), Expert—Massage (10,000), Grandmaster—Women’s Dress Design (100,000)]
It seems clear now, except for [temporary events], don’t expect the system to provide skills he would definitely be willing to spend points on.
But [temporary events]... The reason they are voluntary is probably that the system thinks the players can’t really complete them.
Now thinking back to the system prompts:
[Arrange your time reasonably, focus on self-protection; beware of being scammed, make friends sincerely].
Every sentence has a deep meaning.
This is definitely not a Love System!
Dubian Che made up his mind, to be more self-disciplined in the future, relying on himself no matter what happens is always right.
After finishing the shrine visit, the two walked towards Mayi Asuka and Ichiki Aoi waiting for them.
"Kiyono, what wish did you make?"
"Abolish physical exercise."
"I see," Dubian Che nodded, "such a thing can indeed only be entrusted to the gods. Guess what I wished for?"
"Pray for the gods to forgive your sixteen years of lies."
"Typical you, got it right on the first guess!" Dubian Che generously praised.
Kiyono Lin stopped walking, arms crossed, giving him a cold look.
"Kiyono, your bag is really nice."
"Where did you buy it? I want to get one too."
"Mayi and Ichiki are waiting for us; it’s not good to be sulky now, right?"
After saying this, the two could finally move ahead, stepping out of the crowd.
The four regrouped, and Ichiki Aoi suggested going to draw fortunes.
Determined to rely on himself, apart from God Kiyono, Dubian Che was disinterested in other gods or monsters, merely following them to watch them draw fortunes.
The fortune drawing area was also crowded with tourists, Kunii Shuichi was there too.
"Did you touch any stones?" Dubian Che asked him.
"No." Kunii Shuichi was full of anger, "Those guys give misleading hints! And they say they are my friends, dropping the ball at critical moments!"
"..." Dubian Che patted his shoulder, unable to say anything.
"But it’s okay, if I can draw a good fortune, everything is still fine! I killed a Silver Fire Dragon before getting on the Shinkansen!"
Dubian Che couldn’t see any connection between these events.
Kunii Shuichi quickly put aside the matter, regrouping with new energy.
"Are you drawing a fortune, Dubian?"
Relying on the gods is nothing but foolishness —Dubian Che, who just got conned out of 500 yen, stands by this statement.
Of course, except for God Kiyono.
She is alive, at her most beautiful age, where misunderstanding is impossible; just ask her directly. Most importantly, as a beauty with unmatched legs, just standing there, Dubian Che could gaze at her all day long.
No temple’s god has such power.
Conclusion: Wasting a hundred yen to draw a fortune, only an idiot would do it.
"Ah, it’s ’Mojikou’!" Ichiki Aoi looked at the fortune cabinet, seemingly hesitant whether to draw again.
"It’s okay!" Kunii Shuichi comforted, "Look, mine is ’bad luck’!"
Okay, we all get your intention to comfort, but please take care of yourself.
Make sure you live well into your second year of high school.
Suddenly, Dubian Che found drawing fortunes quite an interesting matter.
After thanking Kunii Shuichi, Ichiki Aoi turned to ask Mayi Asuka, "Mayi, what fortune did you draw?"
Mayi Asuka handed her the paper directly.
"Wow, ’great good luck’!" Ichiki Aoi exclaimed happily.
"Really? That’s amazing! What does it say?" Kunii Shuichi was very supportive.
"Let me see," Ichiki Aoi read awkwardly from the paper, "’Flowers bloom on the sunny balcony, a cart of treasures drives into the house; displaying scholarship and virtue in the emperor’s hall, triumphantly riding a horse to the accompaniment of thunder’—does anyone understand?"
Dubian Che looked towards Kiyono Lin, and everyone followed his gaze to her.
Kiyono Lin, hand on chin, recollected:
"The flowers bloom on the balcony, treasure-filled carts enter the house. Display scholarly knowledge and virtues, be valued by superiors, boldly state your wishes. Proudly mount a horse, and in the end, gain an enviable position."
"This is exactly about Mayi getting a recommendation from Tokyo University!" Ichiki Aoi excitedly said.
"It’s so accurate! It’s really a famous shrine!" Kunii Shuichi applauded.
If possible, for those who drew Mojikou and bad luck, it’s better not to mention how accurate fortunes are.
Ichiki Aoi happily returned the fortune to Mayi Asuka: "Mayi, make sure to keep this safe!"
Love indeed blinds people; Ichiki Aoi completely forgot about her own ’Mojikou’.
"...What about marriage?" Mayi Asuka asked flatly, holding the fortune.
Ichiki Aoi suddenly grew nervous.
She had subtly revealed her feelings while making a wish earlier; had Mayi started to consider it?
Ichiki Aoi signaled Kiyono Lin with her eyes, hoping she would pick something nice to say.
"’Displaying scholarship in the emperor’s hall, riding triumphantly to the sound of thunder’—from this line, regarding marriage... your partner is someone extraordinary, but as long as you show your best side and voice your thoughts boldly, everything will go smoothly," Kiyono Lin said.
