Chapter 290: Chapter 280: Did You Die Today?_2

Su Youyi also didn’t understand why her senior brother was wasting time on this abnormal person, but if her senior brother was doing so, there surely was a reason for it.

"I’ll give you half a day’s time. Wait for me at the north city gate with your fishing results before we leave tonight." Liang Yi smiled warmly, giving Taibai Ge a pat on the shoulder, appearing extremely amiable.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player on triggering the adventure quest [Guidance from Liang Yi]"

[Quest Hint: You unexpectedly encountered Liang Yi and Su Youyi from the Complete Heaven Sect, as well as a young master from the Demon Clan visiting Taibai City. Because of Liang Yi’s handsome appearance and kind heart, which make him approachable, he decided to respond to your request and give you some pointers after seeing your fishing skills.]

[Quest Requirement: Catch something within six hours that is interesting enough to pique Liang Yi’s interest]

[Quest Reward: Experience 5000, Daoist Skill [Celestial Fishing Technique], Liang Yi’s Favorability +100, Demon Clan Young Master’s Favorability +100]

Taibai Ge was momentarily stunned, and his body subconsciously tensed up, even his standing posture became much more proper.

He didn’t believe it himself when he said it, but he actually found talking with Liang Yi to be comfortable, it felt warm, reminiscent of a teacher who deeply influenced him in his childhood.

Even he himself hadn’t noticed that despite his previous indifference to Liang Yi, he now genuinely wished he could continue chatting with him.

"No problem, I will give it my all!" Taibai Ge declared earnestly, looking up and thumping his chest, not even noticing that Liang Yi had already waved goodbye.

"Eh? He already left?" Taibai Ge, looking at the empty street corner, finally realized Liang Yi was gone. "Speaking of which, did I just trigger a quest?"

Upon opening the quest panel, Taibai Ge saw that it was experience a hundredfold his previous quests’, his eyes widened in shock. When he saw the two characters for Daoist Skill following the experience value, his whole body shook with excitement.

Adventure quests are this awesome? The difficulty is moderate, but the rewards are the highest he’s ever seen!

Liang Yi, forever dad! I’m sticking with you from now on!

"Damn, I forgot to take a screenshot!" Suddenly, Taibai Ge thought of this and berated himself for forgetting to take a screenshot. Never mind, he would have another chance to meet when handing in the quest.

"Humph, humph, humph, I must go show this off to my wife!" Taibai Ge hummed a merry tune, striding joyfully, and proceeded to open a chat window with a friend listed as Zhang Yuge.

On the other side, Liang Yi, still with his junior sister who was sweeping through the street food, leisurely headed toward the Little Bamboo House with Uncle Orange.

"Senior brother, ahem...hot, hot, hot." Su Youyi was about to ask about that abnormal person just now but got scalded by the roasted fish she just picked up.

"Really now, how could you be so careless." Liang Yi sighed and handed her the drink he was holding, making a gesture.

"What’s the point of eating if you still have to channel your Spiritual Power when eating." Su Youyi pouted and retorted, taking the clear water from her senior brother and downed it in one gulp.

Uncle Orange had no such concerns, a whole grilled fish went into his mouth, and out came a complete fish skeleton, assuredly without a hint of fish taste.

"Senior brother, why did you offer to give guidance to that abnormal person? Haven’t you always cautioned me to refuse when I should?" Su Youyi wiped her mouth, continuing the interrupted question to her senior brother.

"I’m quite familiar with their behaviors and habits, so dealing with them is somewhat easier for me. You guys are unfamiliar with abnormal people, so you should be more cautious when interacting with them." Liang Yi said, smiling and touching his nose, casually explaining to his junior sister.

Su Youyi tilted her head and thought about it; it seemed true, her senior brother was indeed very familiar with those abnormal people.

"Forget about it, dealings with abnormal people are minor issues. What we need to do now is head to the Little Bamboo House first to buy some recent information... Hm?"

Liang Yi was speaking when his peripheral vision suddenly caught a crowd of players gathered around something up ahead.

"Hmm? Is there something exciting happening, meow?" Uncle Orange jumped directly from Liang Yi’s shoulder onto his head, standing up to look ahead. Uncle Orange loved a lively scene the most.

"Are they doing the daily divination?" Liang Yi was not unfamiliar with this situation; he had been to Taibai City in his previous life and naturally knew what made this city special.

"Daily divination? What’s that?" Su Youyi looked at the surrounding Abnormal People seemingly very enthusiastic about it, but the Complete Heaven Sect Disciple in the center of the crowd seemed quite happy.

"It’s just about predicting a person’s luck for the day, whether it will be very fortunate or disastrous. There’s nothing mysterious about it, but it’s also considered a form of psychological comfort." Liang Yi waved his hand dismissively, as players always liked this sort of thing.

The daily divination is also jokingly called by players as "daily hang-up".

Disciples of the Complete Heaven Sect, regardless of whether they practiced the Art of Divination, all needed to have some knowledge in it, at least to the extent that they couldn’t be easily predicted by others. Otherwise, if a disciple from the foremost divination sect was easily read like an open book, it would be an embarrassment for the Complete Heaven Sect.

That’s right, they were targeting the Senluo Wanxiang Sect.

And what the Complete Heaven Sect has always upheld is the principle that "practice leads to true knowledge". There’s no progress to be made in just empty predictions every day. Only by venturing out regularly to divine for others can one accumulate Experience and improve one’s proficiency in the Art of Divination.

Therefore, as one of the great cities of the present world, Taibai City below the mountain is a must-go place for the Complete Heaven Sect Disciples to practice on a daily basis. You could easily see one or two disciples practicing Daoist Skills and fortune-telling along the streets or alleys, hardly distinguishable from those wandering charlatans.

And the fees are extremely low, rounding off to almost free. Even if you have no money, as long as the Complete Heaven Sect Disciple isn’t busy, they can tell your fortune for free, too.

For players, divination almost symbolizes the luck for the day. Whether venturing out to fight monsters or exploring Secret Realms, one definitely hopes for continually better luck.

Just by having a "very fortunate" bamboo token in their backpack, they feel courageous enough to brave even the most dangerous challenges, and sometimes players exploring Secret Realms will even recruit another player whose fortune for the day is "very fortunate".

As for those who are "disastrous"... Please go solo. Honestly, we’re afraid that the only thing gained from a Secret Realm might be clear skies and white clouds.

Although there’s no evidence to suggest that these things increase probabilities, players still enjoy doing it regardless – whether you calculate or not, it doesn’t make much of a difference.

If it turns out lucky, they think they’re blessed by Heavenly Destiny and are children of fortune, so they frolic about. How could they not fail?

But this time, why is this stall so popular? Could it be that a Complete Heaven Sect Disciple is bending the rules and altering the predicted fortunes secretly?

Because there are too many disciples practising divination who descend the mountain, and although there are many Cultivators in Taibai City who do believe in destiny, they are not so interested in the fortune-telling of those Outer Disciples from the Complete Heaven Sect.

This results in only the ordinary citizens of Taibai City seeking divination from these disciples, and they usually come just a few times every week or fortnight.

However, the arrival of the Abnormal People has directly changed this situation.

Once a player accidentally discovered this function of divination, almost every other player got to know about it.

While other cities did have a few diviners, none could compare to the authenticity of those from the Complete Heaven Sect. However, players outside of Taibai City still lack the ability to move long distances, so they can only look on with envy at players in Taibai City who have the option of divining.

When nobody has something, no one envies anyone else, but when someone has something that you don’t, that’s when the emotions start. And once the emotions arise, they can gradually deviate from the true nature of things and head in another direction.

It’s not difficult to divine for players, but their fortunes are far more peculiar than those of ordinary people, so the Complete Heaven Sect disciples are very enthusiastic about divining for the Abnormal People.

But the competition in Taibai City is just too fierce; some disciples came up with the bad idea of only giving out very fortunate outcomes, which was later exposed and got them blacklisted by all players.

Liang Yi speculated whether the stall that was now surrounded by players was one of those Complete Heaven Sect disciples attracting players with such a lousy idea.
