Chubby Chiu didn’t quite understand what Gu Zhiqi was saying, but it knew she must have her own plans, so it didn’t ask any further. Instead, it asked another question with great interest, "Has the destiny been retrieved yet?"
"Not so fast," Gu Zhiqi replied casually.
"Ah? Then when will the destiny be completely retrieved?" Chubby Chiu asked, confused.
"The shortest would be a week, and the longest could be two months."
Upon hearing this, Chubby Chiu softly "oh"ed and, thinking of the cloaked man Zhang Xiuli mentioned, asked another question, "Who could that cloaked man be? Why did he transfer the original host’s destiny to Zhang Xiuli and Gu Bo? Is he targeting the original host or you?"
Lots of big question marks were written all over Chubby Chiu’s tiny head.
Before Gu Zhiqi could answer and not even two seconds into the questioning, Chubby Chiu suddenly answered its own question, "It should be targeted at the original host, after all, if it was you whose destiny was being taken at the time, he probably wouldn’t have been able to take it."
Hearing this, Gu Zhiqi raised her eyebrows slightly and said lazily, "Perhaps."
Regardless of who he was targeting, he would appear again someday.
After leaving the beauty salon, Gu Zhiqi didn’t go back to the Moon Falling Bay Villa District. Instead, she planned to visit the nearest university.
The nearest university was Yan City University, but it was actually not that close to the beauty salon, requiring a twenty-minute taxi ride or about forty minutes by subway.
Having no other plans for the afternoon, Gu Zhiqi decided to take the subway.
"Zhizhi, what are you going to Yan City University for?" Chubby Chiu was very puzzled that Gu Zhiqi was determined to go to Yan City University even if it meant taking the subway.
"A food blogger said that the snacks around the university are delicious," Gu Zhiqi said while navigating to the nearest subway station on her phone and speaking to Chubby Chiu.
She hadn’t gone far when she reached a fork in the road. As Gu Zhiqi looked down at the navigation, contemplating which way to go, she suddenly got bumped into, and her phone fell, shattering the screen.
The person who had bumped into her wanted to run away after the collision, but Gu Zhiqi raised her hand and directly grabbed the other party’s arm.
The surprised person paused for a moment, then quickly looked back, "Hey? You..."
Upon seeing Gu Zhiqi’s appearance, the person froze, the words they were about to say got stuck in their throat, and they just stood there stupidly, a light fascination creeping into the depths of their eyes.
"You bumped into me," Gu Zhiqi said unhurriedly, looking at the person who was staring at her, dazed.
"Ah? Yes, I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional," the person who bumped into Gu Zhiqi came back to their senses after hearing her voice and immediately apologized.
After apologizing, they tried to leave, but Gu Zhiqi didn’t let them go.
"Pick it up." Gu Zhiqi lifted her empty hand, pointing at the phone on the ground.
"Ah? Oh, right, okay," the girl who bumped into Gu Zhiqi quickly complied, crouching down to pick up Gu Zhiqi’s phone and handing it back to her.
Gu Zhiqi took the phone and glanced at it, then looked sideways at the girl, "The screen protector is broken, compensate for it."
You must be hitting a jackpot.
"They’re over there, get’em!"
"Where do you think you’re running, stop right there!"
All of a sudden, a clamor arose nearby. Ye Lili, who suspected Gu Zhiqi was faking the accident, panicked when she heard it, "Err, something urgent has come up, see you around if fate allows."
Just as Ye Lili ran off, a voice echoed in Gu Zhiqi’s mind from Chubby Chiu, "Beep—upgrade mission 3 has been triggered. Please resolve Ye Lili’s crisis and heal Ye Lili’s hand injury."
"Friendly reminder, the girl who broke your phone’s screen protector is Ye Lili, just so you know~"
