Chapter 218: Old Zhu's Divination

Chu Ge was quite astonished, “Zijun, how did you simulate this draconic aura?”

“Draconic aura? What draconic aura?” The blue dragon spoke like a human, “I’m just showing you the dragon that exists in your heart, just like when others thought of me as their own father when I wrote it. Oh, the dragon in your heart has a draconic aura…? What’s an aura like? Like this?”

The blue dragon gave a playful roar.

The group of people in the Black Room burst into laughter.

Chu Ge: “…”

This is crazy. Does this mean that the effect isn’t as good for others, but it’s particularly effective for Qiu Wuji and him?

No… it’s even more extreme for others. Regular people might be scared to death on the spot, and even powerful ability users would likely run away immediately. Who could handle the appearance of a dragon in front of them?

And as long as the words aren’t erased, it seems to be permanent and doesn’t even consume much mana… there’s a lot of potential for research…

Wan Zijun said, “By the way, I’m currently studying English and Japanese.”

“English I can understand, but why Japanese? Are you planning to go to Tokyo?”

“Since I have to learn a few foreign languages, why not learn Japanese?” Wan Zijun argued confidently, “I won’t need subtitles for watching movies anymore! Even this needs explaining, Brother Chu, you’ve changed…”

Chu Ge was speechless, “Hey, since your current ability to simulate the actual strength of characters like Cabalash Brothers and the dragon is still limited, have you found anything that works on others? I remember you could write things like ‘You like me,’ right?”

“I’ve been trying that kind of thing all along, but the effect isn’t good. I feel like what I’m doing is somewhat different from hypnosis, illusion, or mental suggestion? I can’t explain it… For now, making the person see how I want them to see me seems to be the most effective.”

Chu Ge nodded slightly, then shook his head helplessly, “You’re clearly not taking the combat route. There’s no point in me advising you on this.”

“It’s meaningful. If I can confirm that it’s effective on you, then I have a basis.” Wan Zijun turned his head with a grin, wrote “You like me” on his face again, and ran over to Zhu Mengmeng, “Mengmeng…”

“Get lost!” Zhu Mengmeng kicked out, and Wan Zijun painfully collapsed to the floor.

This move has never worked on other ability users, it’s quite unfortunate…

But actually, he has only used it on two people: Qiu Wuji, the crossing tribulation expert’s soul; and Zhu Mengmeng, with the potential to sever karma.

Chu Ge crossed his arms and felt that Wan Zijun’s lack of exploration into its effects on others might be related to him feeling discouraged and lacking confidence…

“By the way, Sister Mengmeng, how’s your training going?” Chu Ge asked Zhu Mengmeng.

Zhu Mengmeng shook her head, “I’ve only been training for a few days, how much progress could I have made? Besides, I’m not joining you guys on your missions. Dad is the one going.”

Chu Ge looked at Old Zhu. Old Zhu was playing chess with himself, as if sensing Chu Ge’s gaze, he said directly, “I’m going under the guise of an entertainment investment… We’re going together, taking a different route from the sightseeing group.”

“If you play chess so badly, you shouldn’t play… You’re both bad and addicted to it.”

“Do you really think I’m bad? I can’t beat Qi Chengtai and your spouse, but ordinary people can’t beat me either, okay?” Old Zhu retorted, “My chess and cards are divination tools, not toys… By the way, do you want me to calculate your fate?”

Chu Ge became interested, “Sure, go ahead and tell me!”

Old Zhu glanced at him, “Tell you what?”

“My fate with Qiuqiu, what else is there to tell?”

“As expected, your mind is full of love.” Old Zhu took out a stack of tarot cards, “Close your eyes and focus, draw one card.”

“Just this? Why does it feel so unreliable? What’s the difference between this and the street swindlers?” Chu Ge complained, “Besides, why would the cards you draw be tarot cards…”

“I didn’t draw these cards, it’s just that I thought these would suit you…” Old Zhu opened his hand to reveal all his cards without expression, “None of my cards have faces, they only appear based on your question after you draw them.”

Chu Ge was momentarily stunned; this seemed interesting.

It’s no wonder Old Zhu said this would suit him… If they were truly using finger calculations, Chu Ge doubted anyone could calculate his and Qiu Wuji’ level… but this card-drawing method doesn’t require Old Zhu to have high abilities; it depends on himself.

Chu Ge closed his eyes and, in his mind’s sea, vividly conjured up Qiu Wuji’ every expression, as if it were real.

In the driving school in the distance, Qiu Wuji, who was taking turns around the bends, suddenly displayed a sweet smile. The driving instructor in the passenger seat looked at her, puzzled, “You’re driving, why are you suddenly smiling so oddly?”

Qiu Wuji smiled happily, “My boyfriend is thinking about me.”

The instructor shivered and turned her head, choosing not to speak. This student is both beautiful and intelligent, but is there something wrong with her mind?

Chu Ge silently chanted “fate” in his heart, reached out, and drew a card.

Sure enough, the blank card emitted a flash of light. Zhu Mengmeng leaned over to take a look and saw an image of a merchant standing on coastal rocks, gazing into the distance, holding a staff in one hand, with two other staves placed beside him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“How is it, how is it? What does this represent?” Chu Ge asked nervously.

“This is the Three of Wands,” Old Zhu smiled slightly, “In terms of emotions, it represents an ongoing passionate romance, where both parties have made plans for the future. They are moving forward with each other’s commitments, or both are growing significantly according to their promises, eagerly anticipating and embracing a moment in the future.”

This is so fitting for the current situation between me and Qiuqiu! Chu Ge was ecstatic, “Accurate! Very accurate! Old Zhu, you’ve got a talent!”

Zhu Mengmeng rolled her eyes at her dad, about to say something but held back.

Although this interpretation is for the Upright Three of Wands, that’s right… it still sounds like typical street swindler talk. It’s like saying something without really saying anything, and we’re all so familiar, how could we not know what he’s implying? It’s funny how Chu Ge is usually so sharp, but now he seems a bit foolish when it comes to Qiuqiu…

Indeed, being in love lowers IQ.

Old Zhu glanced at his daughter and shook his head slightly.

Zhu Mengmeng wisely kept silent.

At the right moment, a shout came from the corner, “Mr.Smite, go resurrect the damn idiot mage… Warrior, use Shield Wall, I’m activating Bloodlust, hurry up, all of you DPS, go all out! Good… 2%, 1%! Hold on! We did it!”

Chu Ge happily ran over, “Panda, my hands are itching, do you want me to help you play?”

Panda blushed with excitement, “Give Brother Chu a chance! Go for it!”

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Ge was already on his way.

Panda looked at the screen with three warrior-hunter-shaman characters, stunned for two seconds, then chased after him determinedly, “Shorty Ge, stop right there! What’s with your itchiness!?”

Chu Ge fled with his head down, “You’re a shaman yourself, you can do it…”

“I’ve graduated long ago, this is a gold run, we’re selling it for money! You’re losing your monthly ticket!”

While running, Chu Ge’s phone in his pocket suddenly beeped with notifications – someone had sent him a private message on his open QQ. He casually took out his phone to check, and sure enough, it was from Panda.

Clicking on the profile picture, a virtual fist came towards Chu Ge, and he braced himself for impact, but he noticed that the fist was holding a virtual keyboard. With a “smack,” it shattered against his face.

Chu Ge actually felt a slight sensation of pain, and he turned his head in astonishment. Panda was proudly holding a keyboard and laughing, “Now I can hit people with objects.”

Chu Ge was taken aback.

This is impressive; it’s reached the point where he can carry weapons. It’s truly invisible and deadly!

And this fat guy has gone from using computer cables to even using his phone… Chu Ge wondered if there needs to be a connection for it to work? Regardless of the limitations, it’s quite absurd.

These super abiltites are so strange, even more irrational than cultivating immortality.

While the two were playing around, on the other side, Zhu Mengmeng quietly asked her dad, “Dad, the Three of Wands is in reversed position, right? Did you interpret it incorrectly?”

“It’s reversed,” Old Zhu lowered his voice, “But even though the Three of Wands is a good card, being reversed doesn’t necessarily indicate something bad.”

“What does that mean? You should just say it.”

“It represents that their expectations or commitments between each other may be somewhat disjointed or contradictory, and they might encounter some setbacks… This doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a problem in their relationship, and the outcome will eventually be positive. I can’t figure out exactly what this contradiction refers to. If I make something up and it causes unnecessary suspicions between the young couple, that would be worse. Divination detests this…. Anyway, the result is positive, so it’s best not to speculate.”

“As long as the result is positive… Dad, your divination is really vague.”

Old Zhu grumbled, “It’s already much better… I definitely wouldn’t be so vague with others, these two are tricky…”

Zhu Mengmeng turned her head to look at Chu Ge playfully fighting with Panda, and she thought about the thick love thread between those two, thicker than a dragon-binding rope. She chuckled and said, “Why worry for them? That love thread is so thick that even a saw wouldn’t be able to cut it. I suspect they’re bound together for at least ten lifetimes.”
