Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Demon Technique·Finger Fate

After the physical education class and another Dao Heart class, the day's lessons were finally over.

Su Yuan picked up the big bag of leftover meals from the dining hall and, without bothering to eat, left school with Chen Nuoyi.

"Su Yuan, should we really leave without eating first?"

Standing at the school gate, Chen Nuoyi looked towards the dining hall direction with some reluctance.

"No way."

Su Yuan said firmly:

"I've calculated it, we have to wait about an hour for most students to finish eating before the dining hall offers special discounts."

"And during that hour, we can earn over three hundred bucks, which is far more cost-effective than trying to snag a small discount at the dining hall!"

"I see."

Chen Nuoyi suddenly understood and nodded in agreement.

Su Yuan added, "Let's hold on for now. Once we finish working, we'll go somewhere with even better discounts to eat."

Chen Nuoyi was shocked: "Is there anywhere cheaper than the school dining hall?"

Su Yuan: "Of course. If you want to live a good life by working, you need to learn how to save money in addition to making money. I'll teach you how to save money later."

With that, Su Yuan led the awestruck Chen Nuoyi to a nearby trash bin to dispose of garbage, then hurried to the nearby delivery station, got a delivery uniform and helmet for the girl, and guided her to purchase a monthly card for shared flying swords.

Under Su Yuan's guidance, the former pampered young lady officially embarked on the inescapable path of food delivery.

"Su Yuan, I've navigated to the drop-off location, but why can't I find the customer's home?"

"Let me see. The customer's address is north on top, south below, west to the left, east to the right, the customer is on the 18th basement floor; fly downwards."

"Su Yuan, there are many security guards at the entrance and they don't seem to be letting delivery people in. How about leaving the food in the delivery cabinet outside?"

"Fortune favors the bold; charge forward with me! If we can't get through, it's your responsibility, but if we pass, it's on the customer."

"Su Yuan, I've been caught by security!"

"Sing with me, we're all living with force..."

From six to nine, the peak food delivery hours flew by, and Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi turned off auto-order acceptance, officially clocking out.

Seeing the increasing figures in their account balance, Chen Nuoyi's pretty face was full of surprise.

"Earning so much in just two hours; food deliveries really are a good job."

Su Yuan felt a bit guilty; food delivery can hardly be considered a good job, right? Did I scam a righteous prodigy into going astray?

At this moment, a "ding" sounded in Su Yuan's mind.

[In one day, you led a flawless Righteous Saintess astray to the point of neglecting her duties and mingling with the Demon Dao. In terms of leading people to fall, you are an undeniable genius!]

[Righteous Saintess Saint Fall Level +5%]

[Mission: Fallen Saintess (Completed)]

[Mission Reward: Demon Technique·Finger Fate (Granted)]

[Demon Technique·Finger Fate: Upon activation, you learn the designated target's fate for the day (the higher the target's cultivation, the more spiritual power consumed).]

[Note: This demon technique cannot be used on oneself.]

In the next second, a flood of knowledge surged into Su Yuan's mind, allowing him to thoroughly master this wicked and dangerous demon technique in the blink of an eye.

According to demon techniques, all beings in heaven and earth have their fate numbers, but fate numbers are not fixed and change daily.

However, these changes have certain rules and will be influenced by factors like one's identity, status, personal strength, environment, etc., setting a range for daily fate numbers.

Take a rich second generation as an example; due to their family's wealth, their daily fate number won't include terms like "destitute" or "penniless."

If he is a student, his daily fate numbers generally relate to study or potential school events, like "educational success," "praised by teachers," "friendly classmates," "dining hall aunt's steady hands."

These freshly generated daily fate numbers will be verified on that day.

However, if someone can see through another's fate numbers and forcibly interfere, their fate numbers will change.

"Seeing others' daily fate numbers, using the displayed information for foresight, setting traps to ensnare enemies... This truly is a practical demon technique."

Su Yuan murmured to himself.

He turned his head and looked at Chen Nuoyi beside him, activated the Demon Technique·Finger Fate.

The next second, Su Yuan felt about thirty percent of his spiritual power drained, while big letters appeared above Chen Nuoyi's head.

[Bad Judge of Character (Validated)]

"Tsk!"

Su Yuan was furious!

What do you mean by bad judge of character, and it's already validated? Isn't this referring to me?!

Never mind the system slandering me, but now even the system's demon technique is slandering me?

Is this demon technique worthless then?

"Su Yuan, where are we going next? Are we going to eat?"

At this time, Chen Nuoyi turned her head, her bright eyes shining under the streetlights, clear and flawless.

A girl like this should be a high, unattainable gem, yet because of her ill-fitting delivery uniform and cumbersome helmet, she exudes a girl-next-door charm.

Su Yuan was slightly dazed.

Fortunately, the Ancient Corpse Refining immediately stood out, refining Chen Nuoyi into a walking corpse in Su Yuan's mind, clearing away such distractions.

It seems that a corpse refining technique truly serves as a superior heart method to calm one's mind!

Unhappily, Su Yuan pushed the Ancient Corpse Refining aside and said:

"Not yet, next I'll take you to work as security. The security Uncle Wang at our district is skilled in the fork techniques; you can learn a thing or two."

"Oh, okay."

Chen Nuoyi nodded, looking slightly disappointed.

It's clear she really wanted to chow down.

After changing out of the delivery uniform, the two arrived at Feiyun District, where Su Yuan introduced Chen Nuoyi to Security Uncle Wang.

Initially, Old Wang had doubts about whether a delicate young lady like Chen Nuoyi could handle security work, but when Chen Nuoyi achieved minor success in the Divine Fork Eighteen Techniques in fifteen minutes and rapidly improved further, he was astounded beyond belief.

"Xiaosu, where did you find this girl? She has the Innate Security Sacred Body too, among those I've seen, her talent is only below yours!"

Old Wang pulled Su Yuan aside, pointing at Chen Nuoyi confidently handling the explosion-proof fork, full of amazement.

Su Yuan shrugged and said:

"Uncle Wang, she's not the Innate Security Sacred Body; she's simply gifted, learns everything quickly, and is a strong contender for the top scorer in next year's college entrance exam."

Enlightened, Security Uncle Wang earnestly said:

"Then you better seize this opportunity; girls with a great future, high talent, and willing to work hard are rare."

Su Yuan expressionlessly replied:

"I just want to study right now."

Security Uncle Wang: "Are you serious?"

Su Yuan: "Yes, seriously."

Su Yuan really wasn't considering anything about Chen Nuoyi right now.

Currently, he's just a lowly 550-point student, who relies on part-time work for a living, a neglectful Huang Mao.

If he dared to make any plans for Chen Nuoyi, he couldn't imagine what her Dragon King father would do to him.

For now, he has to develop stealthily under the system's guidance.

As for growing up later...haha, I don't eat beef.
