Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 864 - 43: The God Beyond God_2

The deeper the emotions, the higher the credit limit, and the more things one can owe, but the more one owes, the more one must learn to repay.

If a person only knows how to take without giving, their credit will quickly zero out, then they're buried in debt, and no one will want to be close to them.

Such credit can be converted into money.

Li Xiaoyu has bought many people. There was also an interesting topic online once—between a girlfriend and fifty million, how would you choose.

Many replies were: Surely no one really thinks they are more attractive than fifty million?

Although most people have neither a girlfriend nor fifty million.

As if seeing through Li Xiaoyu's heart, the fortune-teller said:

"You see, although the units are different, we can collectively call it the demand points, the numerical value between each person represents how much it can be converted into demand points. Interestingly, this formula doesn't apply to you."

Li Xiaoyu disliked the feeling of being analyzed, unless the person doing it was Tang Xian.

She said:

"Off-topic."

"Yes, when I meet interesting people, my thoughts also become somewhat uncontrollable, I'm still getting used to this feeling."

The fortune-teller paused, then said:

"As for your question, what will happen in Baichuan City in twenty days, I can't answer you."

"Why?"

Despite feeling uncomfortably transparent, Li Xiaoyu had to admit that she was starting to believe this fortune-teller really had some skills.

"Because overly specific details, when revealed, become very uninteresting."

"I don't quite understand," Li Xiaoyu frowned.

"In the historical progress of humanity, I've concluded many things, the most interesting about fortune-telling is the sense of ambiguity. If you demand something too transparent, it loses its charm; it just points out a direction. In the business of fortune-telling, actually, it's taboo to ask some very specific questions. It's not that I cannot calculate them, but being too specific only incites panic."

Fortune-telling indeed involves deception, utilizing the Barnum effect, letting people fit themselves into a vague concept.

Yet, Li Xiaoyu felt this fortune-teller was somewhat different.

"Is your fortune-telling based on calculations?"

"Observing people and situation plays a part in the calculation too."

"So you rely on math rather than mysticism?"

"You could say that."

"That's a very interesting skill, I want to learn it."

Li Xiaoyu was serious in her statement.

"But you cannot learn it, your man might be able to."

"Can you calculate one more thing for me?"

"I calculate only once for each person, but you're a special case, let's make an exception."

"Thank you."

Li Xiaoyu smiled politely and said:

"Since you mentioned my man, I want to know if his efforts will be smooth?"

The fortune-teller's smile was meaningfully deep:

"Your man is a very interesting person, he and that lady's loved one are the same in their outcomes, they can be called heroes, but their processes and motives are different. As for what he is doing, even more interesting."

"With the efforts of countless people, it's quite an accomplishment for one man to obtain all the highest honors. He will successfully get what he wants."

Li Xiaoyu did not show a relieved expression; after all, such a thing is just for fun, even if this fortune-teller is truly amazing.

But the next statement from the fortune-teller was again perplexing:

"The world is vast, in the exploration process, he might discover some very interesting things, maybe he will be confused by those things, even I, do not know what kind of choice he will ultimately make."

"So I can't ask too specifically about this matter?"

"Exactly, but he will soon uncover some things that could overturn his perceptions."

Li Xiaoyu noted these words and didn't inquire further.

When leaving, she said:

"This shop was originally not allowed to open, but after today, I will approve the license."

"So this shop is actually allowed to open, it's just that you and I saw the sequence differently," the fortune-teller smiled and said.

Li Xiaoyu was slightly startled, realizing it really was so.

If this person could really calculate the future, predict everything today, then three days ago, the license was essentially approved.

But this logic depends on possessing strong computational power, could such a thing really be done?

In the end, Li Xiaoyu left with Dongran, Qiaoshanshan.

The mystical fortune-teller continued her regular business.

For her, these actions might somewhat be trivial pursuits.

But originally, she who lacked impulsivity, now had impulses.

And originally, she who lacked curiosity, now felt curious as well.

Satisfying one's own desires is an instinct as a biological being, the higher the being, the more they seek spiritual satisfaction.

Thus, she came to Baichuan City, using a god's perspective to closely examine the dust.

Today, the fortune-teller encountered a very interesting person.

She suddenly realized, maybe that algorithm was wrong.

About the emotions between people.

But she wasn't the only one who noticed this error.

...

...

In the mining area, Giant's Island.

The most terrifying moment for a chess piece isn't the moment it's ejected from the game, but when as a piece, it suddenly sees the chessboard.

Tang Xian finally arrived at the level above the clouds.

This layer was much more extensive than the previous one. The tower, just like the Pyramid, actually has irregularly distributed levels of areas.
