Chapter 380: 362 Divine Calculator of the World【2 Updates】
“This is a place for betting,” Di Wu Yue scratched her head, “it’s about divining something with someone else, and then seeing who’s right and who’s wrong. The one who’s right gets to win a lot of treasures. I defraud people of their money here.”
To say she defrauded people was a bit of a stretch, but her calculations were always genuine. Who could blame her when there were so many swindlers around, practically handing her their money every day?
Ying Zijin nodded, “Let’s go inside and have a look.”
Inside, there were over a dozen cubicles. Near the entrance was a large screen, displaying various images.
There were jade stones, compasses, and many antiques.
“These are the treasures I was talking about,” Di Wu Yue explained. “Some are fake, but most are real.”
Ying Zijin’s gaze paused briefly.
She stepped forward and ran her finger over the screen, finally stopping at a Pixiu jade stone.
“Eh, miss, are you interested in this?” Di Wu Yue leaned over. “Then you’ll have to compete with this Mr. Zhu.”
“What about him?”
“An old swindler. But he does know a bit about divination,” Di Wu Yue shrugged. “Perhaps it’s because of his age, he’s better at conning money than I am.”
In the Feng Shui business, customers tended to trust older practitioners.
True talents like Di Wu Yue had fewer people seeking them out.
“Hmm, I’ll take this,” Ying Zijin said nonchalantly. “Let’s go in.”
Di Wu Yue followed her to a room on the right.
Immediately, they caught the attention of people inside.
“Master Zhu, someone’s here!”
Master Zhu, who was sitting at a table, looked up upon hearing the voice.
Seeing that they were two very young girls, he was disdainful, his nostrils upturned: “Newcomers? Take a seat then.”
True to the saying, the young are fearless; they dared to challenge him to a bet.
Ying Zijin sat down opposite Master Zhu, “What are we divining?”
“Oh, you’re quite bold?” Master Zhu stroked his beard. “Matters of the heavens are the hardest to divine, so of course, we will predict the weather. Let’s predict when the first rain will come.”
“If you win, you can take the Pixiu jade stone. But if you lose, the price won’t be small.”
Ying Zijin’s eyelashes lowered slightly, her voice calm, “Then let’s divinate.”
“Fine, straightforward. You won’t cry until you see the coffin,” Master Zhu stroked his beard and squinted. “We each have five minutes.”
Di Wu Yue rolled her eyes.
Predicting the weather is considered divination?
With current technology, by assessing the thickness of clouds, wind speed, and other factors, one can predict the weather for the next few days.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a thing as a weather forecast.
But weather forecasts are sometimes inaccurate.
Ying Zijin didn’t use Zhou Yi or Plum Blossom Easy Number. She used Tarot Cards and observed the Astrology Chart.
She picked cards as casually as ever, not using any particular spread.
Those around who had a smattering of knowledge about Tarot Cards shook their heads repeatedly.
“Nowadays, young ladies are all interested in things like Tarot Cards and astrology. It’s fine for them to mess around in private, but to use such things to challenge Master Zhu…”
“Isn’t that the truth…”
“Today’s weather will remain clear until tomorrow,” Master Zhu spoke at this point, appearing unfathomably wise. “The day after tomorrow morning there will be rain. Remember to bring umbrellas, everyone. After a while, due to the low temperatures, it will turn into hail.”
Di Wu Yue yawned out of boredom.
What kind of divination was this? It was nothing more than repeating the weather forecast.
