Chapter 907: Chapter 870: "Omen Tablet, Omen Tablet, Who Is the Most Beautiful Person in This World?
It seems that the disappearance of Paradise World hasn’t affected Xu Xingcheng; he’s still happily bouncing around in various instances.
Hopefully, the next time I enter an instance and encounter Xu Xingcheng, he could explain what role the Paradise World, which turned into a seed, serves. Of course, before he explains to me, I will have to hit him twice to settle the score from Paradise World.
If it weren’t for having gone through so many reincarnations in Paradise World, leaving him mentally and physically exhausted, Gu Mian would have liked to dive into the instance and hit the Evil God twice right now.
After the divination result, the Fortune-teller obviously sighed in relief, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
But looking at Gu Mian’s stance, it seemed like this was just the beginning, and there were more things that needed her divination.
The Fortune-teller hesitantly asked: "Do you want me to divine anything else?"
Gu Mian nodded.
Actually, he wanted the Fortune-teller to divine the matter of that giant tree, but firstly, the tree was too abstract, even Gu Mian didn’t know how to accurately describe it, rendering the retelling to the Fortune-teller even more inaccurate; secondly, he felt that asking the Fortune-teller to divine such a thing was too difficult for her, she might even suddenly die from exhaustion before divining the result.
So, he decided to have the Fortune-teller divine something a bit simpler.
"Can you help me divine where I come from, what will my future be like, what glorious accomplishments I will achieve..."
Before Gu Mian could finish speaking, the Fortune-teller’s hands began trembling fiercely.
She recalled the exploding Crystal Ball, remembered the Omen Tablet that shattered when divining Gu Mian’s whereabouts yesterday. Don’t say divining, she felt like if she continued listening, she might die.
The Fortune-teller’s vision was already starting to fade, feeling like she might faint at any moment.
"Haha, just kidding." Seeing the Fortune-teller’s expression about to faint, Gu Mian timely halted the topic.
Upon hearing this, the light returned to the Fortune-teller’s eyes, she weakly replied: "Other than that, is there anything else you need me to divine?"
Setting aside divination, Gu Mian also wanted to ask about 007.
"I heard that 007 asked you to divine the location of Renle Mountain?" Gu Mian inquired.
The Fortune-teller nodded her head and touched the slab in her hand: "I used this Omen Tablet to divine for her, the result was... a dog."
"What kind of dog?" Gu Mian asked.
"Just... very ordinary," the Fortune-teller gestured with her hands, "like the dogs we usually see outside, neither pretty nor ugly."
Could it be the dog 007 once raised?
Gu Mian thought to himself, but what does Renle Mountain have to do with that dog? Why would the Fortune-teller divine Renle Mountain’s movements and come up with the dog 007 once raised?
The Fortune-teller continued: "When she saw the dog appear on the slab, her expression seemed a bit dazed, she probably knew the dog. Since that divination, she hasn’t come to ask me for help again. I think she probably learned the location of Renle Mountain."
So these days, is 007 busy outside looking for Renle Mountain? That might not be right; if 007 had the specific location of Renle Mountain, she should be heading straight for it—if Renle Mountain was hidden nearby.
But if Renle Mountain’s location isn’t nearby, and lies far away, even knowing the destination doesn’t help.
"Has she been returning to the apartment these past few days?" Gu Mian asked.
The Fortune-teller pondered for a moment and spoke: "I don’t go out much, so I don’t see her often. Do you think she left the apartment to rush towards Renle Mountain? I don’t think so, she would probably give us a heads-up if she were leaving. After all, 007 lives right next door, I’ll keep an eye out for her, and when she returns, I’ll tell you."
Gu Mian nodded.
It’s not that he thought 007 had left them to look for Renle Mountain. Last time, they used Xiao Qiao’s Big Data Search to look for Renle Mountain and his companions, but Big Data Search couldn’t find them.
There are two possibilities here: the first possibility is that Renle Mountain and Old Liu of Victory Hardware Store are already very far away, at least eight hundred miles away from them; the second possibility is that the two have special items on them that can block Big Data Search.
Gu Mian thinks the first possibility is larger; Renle Mountain has probably already moved far away from them.
If 007 wants to find Renle Mountain, she’d have to travel a long distance.
Gu Mian knows she has a secret transportation tool to use for traveling, a children’s sway cart, it’s fast but costly.
According to others, 007 hasn’t been staying in the apartment these days; Gu Mian suspects she’s out preparing travel funds.
She has probably been earning money in instances continuously these past few days.
"If you’re eager to meet her, I could use the slab to ask where she is currently." The Fortune-teller proposed.
"No, let’s wait until she returns." Gu Mian shook his head, then looked at the slab in the Fortune-teller’s hands, "Can I try it myself?"
He still wanted to ask about the giant tree but found it difficult to describe to the Fortune-teller. Gu Mian was also afraid that directly asking would make the Fortune-teller suddenly die, so he wanted to try it himself.
However, Chu Changge mentioned that the Omen Tablet can only be used by someone whose profession is Fortune-teller.
"Theoretically, the slab can only be used by those whose profession is Fortune-teller, but if it’s you, perhaps there’s an exception? Give it a try." The Fortune-teller thought for a moment, handed the slab to Gu Mian, and added, "Don’t ask anything about yourself."
Gu Mian nodded and took it.
He looked down at the Green Stone Plate in his hands; there was a barely visible crack in the middle, probably left from the last time it was used for divining his whereabouts. The Green Stone Plate was heavy and ancient-looking, with a bit of heft when held. Luckily, the Fortune-teller has been doing physical training every day since coming out of the instance at the landfill; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to hold this nearly ten-pound Green Stone Plate for daily research.
