Chapter 303: When It Comes to Connections, I Still Have Some Resources
Chapter 303: When It Comes to Connections, I Still Have Some Resources
Qin Muye yawned as he got off the plane. He had seen quite a bit of the Netherworld's scenery on the way, including one instance where he had dived into the Yellow Springs and faced a female corpse.
This female corpse was very peculiar; she looked as if she were alive. If it weren't for her lack of reaction to Qin Muye, he might have thought she was a living person.
Then, with just a glance, Qin Muye made her disappear. It was just a corpse, dead for many years, and Qin Muye himself had lived for quite a while.
Even his eyes, even if just his own, were not something ordinary weaklings could look at directly. With the temporary skill enhancing his vision, it was as if he had the backing of "The Lord's Epoch."
Don't talk about seeing what shouldn't be seen; in Qin Muye's current state, others would have problems looking at him. He had already stared at some indescribable entities and was still alive and kicking, indicating that he was developing a corresponding inclination.
Moreover, he had become a weak, indescribable ancient god. When his bloodline ability evolved from being unobservable to indescribable, this situation arose.
"Where are we going next?" Qin Muye rubbed his hollow eyes. Fortunately, he was wearing sunglasses, or he might have scared people. After all, not everyone could handle being stared at by eyes without pupils.
"You should follow me, don't get lost. It will be troublesome if you do."
"Really, I don't know how you can trick people into giving you a fortune reading without eyes."
Ji Shan muttered as he led Qin Muye away from the airport. Thankfully, the people of Jingdu were quite considerate and helped him, the temporary blind man.
So they left the airport relatively smoothly, but finding a place to stay was more troublesome.
The Xuanching Academy had not yet opened, and Ji Shan needed to find a place for Qin Muye. He could stay in the dormitory, but Qin Muye couldn't.
So they had to rent a house, but it couldn't be too expensive. They could only find something decent enough.
Qin Muye also insisted on renting a less luxurious house. The temporary skill on him couldn't afford a better place, and he might end up destroying it, which would be a problem.
The journey went relatively smoothly, thanks to Ji Shan's status as a chosen one and Qin Muye's Five Flaws and Three Deficiencies working together. They found a not-so-great but cheap house.
After paying the deposit, cleaning, and moving in, it was already dark.
"Dad, let's go. Since we're in Jingdu, I'll treat you to a good meal," Ji Shan said, glancing at the sky. It was probably too late to buy groceries and cook, and the rental house didn't have kitchen utensils anyway. It was a good opportunity to indulge a bit.
Qin Muye scratched his chin. A dragon corpse had just passed by him, and its flowing dragon whiskers had brushed against his chin, making him feel a bit uneasy. Before leaving, it had glared at him, and Qin Muye had glared back, causing the dragon corpse to explode.
He couldn't understand why it was still not completely dead, looking as if it wanted to live another life.
"Let's go, what are you waiting for? It's my first time in a big city. In my prime, I was a handsome and charming scholar with a deep background and wide connections. Who would have thought I would end up reading fortunes under a bridge? Sigh~" Qin Muye sighed. He had to admit, modern society and big cities were indeed prosperous.
They were far better than the great cities of ancient times, where one had to worry about roads and public safety.
"Deep background? Wide connections? Then why are you in this state, Dad? Shouldn't you be flying high and far?" Ji Shan asked curiously.
He didn't know much about Qin Muye. His first impression was of a poor, blind man who tricked people to support his education. He had no idea what Qin Muye looked like before he went blind. From as far back as he could remember, Qin Muye had been like this, and he couldn't enjoy any good fortune or make money, making him extremely unlucky.
"Ah, my connections and background are not here. I'll introduce you to them when the time is right," Qin Muye said vaguely.
His connections and background were all in the Horror Universe and fairy tales. In this world, he only had a territory, which he didn't dare to claim openly. It was a territory developed by the Black Hand, and thinking about it made him feel miserable.
Oh, he didn't even need to think; he was already miserable. Ever since the Five Flaws and Three Deficiencies, this troublesome temporary skill had followed him for eighteen years, making him feel capable of surviving in the wild. However, he also noticed that his potential seemed to have improved.
If he didn't have the talent boost, he would just be at the level of an ordinary person. But now, even without this troublesome temporary skill, his potential could still match that of a genius.
In other words, although it's a temporary skill, as long as he adapts to it more deeply, he can still gain permanent benefits. For example, the mass extinction engine gave him a keen sense of history, which he still retains, though not as exaggerated as when he was at his peak.
Ji Shan didn't dwell on Qin Muye's vague words for long and changed the subject: "Don't set up your fortune-telling stall in Jingdu again, or you might get caught."
"In our small town, it's fine, but in a big city, if you cause trouble, who knows what kind of trouble might arise."
Big cities have their own rules, and he thought Qin Muye didn't need to keep doing this every day. First, it wasn't safe, and second, it wasn't necessary.
Just the reward from this one time would be enough to support them for several years.
Once he graduates and starts working, there won't be any problems.
"It's not that simple. I still need this to accumulate virtue. After eighteen years, I've only accumulated 3 points of virtue, and I still have a 7-point deficit," Qin Muye wasn't concerned about money; he mainly needed to accumulate virtue. If he wasn't allowed to do this, he would definitely cause some big trouble. Being idle would lead to problems.
Not for him, but for the entire human world.
Ji Shan was speechless at Qin Muye's words. This wasn't just a trick; how did it become virtue?
As a staunch materialist, Ji Shan thought Qin Muye should just be happy.
"You still need to be careful. We've changed our living place, and the environment is different now. Wait until you're familiar with the new place before accumulating virtue," Ji Shan didn't try to dissuade him too much. He thought that if it didn't work, Qin Muye wouldn't charge money, and it would just be a way for people to chat with him.
As long as he didn't profit from it, it wouldn't be considered fraud.
Qin Muye looked at Ji Shan suspiciously: "Weren't you just thinking about something impolite?"
Although he couldn't read minds, he could sense some things.
Ji Shan raised an eyebrow: "How could I? I was just thinking about what to eat."
He hadn't expected Qin Muye to be so perceptive, truly blind but not in the heart. But thinking about it, it made sense; how else would he trick people?
"Alright, then what do you want to eat?" Qin Muye went along with what the other person said.
"How about this Qingyunju? It looks pretty nice," Ji Shan pointed to a restaurant with ancient and elegant decor.
"Let's not. With this decor, if we go in, we'll end up washing dishes in the kitchen. It's fine for you, but I don't want to suffer along with you," Qin Muye glanced at the feng shui and used numerology to predict the outcome. He felt that if they went in, his Five Flaws and Three Deficiencies would come into play.
He had avoided so many plot twists with this ability and didn't want to fall here.
It's just fortune-telling; he wasn't bad at it. Even Ji Shan's Qi Practitioner abilities he could do, just without the corresponding Mythical-level profession. But he had all the necessary abilities.
Otherwise, how could he have created them? He couldn't create something he didn't know, and it would be absurd if he learned it after creating it.
"You can't even see, and you're talking about decor. It's just a roadside stall," Ji Shan said casually, thinking Qin Muye was just being frugal. After all, the name didn't sound like a small place.
He then led the reluctant Qin Muye into the Qingyunju. Surprisingly, the interior decor was quite nice. Qin Muye took a look and thought there were still many improvements to be made.
Don't be fooled by Qin Muye's rough appearance; his artistic sense came from the hedonistic Titan gods, and his taste was very refined, though he rarely used it.
'This can't be avoided. It's not just because of my troublesome temporary skill, is it?'
Qin Muye suspected that Ji Shan's Chosen One talent had also been triggered. Otherwise, he would have run away long ago.
But he quickly calmed down. It's just some troublesome plot twists. Ji Shan was a Chosen One with a protagonist's aura. Qin Muye didn't believe in this evil.
Besides, if it really came to it, he could cause a bit of trouble. He lacked virtue and blessings, not longevity. He wasn't short-lived!
