Chapter 145 Watcher
He walked straight over and asked straight to the point.
The fortune teller was stunned for a moment, but was a little surprised when he saw it was Zhang Luochen. "This young man is a little kind-faced. Could it be that he has seen him before?"
"Nonsense, you've even told me a fortune."
"I have to count more than ten or twenty hexagrams every day, so how can I remember them all."
Zhang Luochen was a little angry, "Didn't you just count three fortunes every day?"
"Uh, that's it, hehehehehehehehehe."
Seeing the fortune teller's expression on his face, Zhang Luochen was a little anxious. He grabbed the man's collar and raised it with one hand, "Don't test my patience. Tell me, where is the real God's Operation? And did you write the text on the Three Immortal Stone Monument?"
The fortune teller was stunned when he heard the words "Three Immortal Stone Monument", but then he showed an expression of ecstasy.
"Three Immortal Stone Monument, are you asking me about the Three Immortal Stone Monument? Hahaha, I finally waited, I finally waited."
This made Zhang Luochen stunned.
"You put me down first, I said it's not okay?"
When Zhang Luochen let go, the fortune teller's robe with a look of rationality began to tell slowly.
"I am indeed not a God's Purposer, but I was entrusted by God's Purposer. This matter will start ten years ago. I was only in my early twenties and was still studying in academy. Because of my poor academic performance, I often went out to play when I was free, because my family was quite a bit of money, and occasionally I would go to brothels and gambling houses to play.
I am quite restrained and I don’t win or lose.
That day, I met a Taoist in a casino. The Taoist was in charge and invited me to bet with him, saying that I lost and paid normally, and I would give me ten times the money if I won. I couldn't help it for a while, so I started betting against him. But I didn't know that no one could win in a row, whether it was Paijiu dice, chess and card games, or stone scissors and cloth.
I was eager to make a profit, borrowed money, and finally lost my pants.
I could only jump to Lishui, but the Taoist told me that there was a wealth of honor to give to me.
At that time, I was completely desperate and could only listen to his explanation first.
The Taoist called himself a divine calculator, a god who came down to earth from heaven. Recently, he wanted to do a big thing and chose me to be his chess piece. If he did it well, he would not only exempt me from my debts, but also be willing to give me a lot of money, which would be enough for me to eat and drink for the rest of my life.
I had no choice but to agree to him at that time.
The Taoist did forgive me for my debt and gave me another treasure. It was a strong fist. Every morning, there would inevitably be a few more gold coins in the bowl, enough for me to spend it at will.
The matter he arranged for me was not difficult. He went to the street every day to tell fortunes to others, and did not ask any questions about the others. He only asked the person to shove the signature and did not need to decipher it. However, he had to stay until someone asked about the "Three Immortals Stone Monument".
The God's Purposer said that it would be only three years earlier and only five years later. He would definitely wait for those who had to wait. I need to wait for a hundred such people and hand them over the signs to them in turn. Even if the task is completed, I would not know that I would have been waiting for ten years until today.
As he said that, he burst into tears, as if his mission was finally over, and he seemed to be sighing that his youth had gone forever.
Zhang Luochen was speechless when he heard this. This guy was clearly a functional NPC arranged by the God Purchase. He was specially designed to prevent players from forgetting the arrangements made by the main task. Lizhou Prefecture is the most prosperous commercial city in the Southern Zhou Kingdom and is also a major transportation route. I guess the God Purchase calculated that if the player traveled to this world, there would be a high chance of coming to this city.
"So you are not a god's guild?"
The fortune teller shrugged, "Of course not. When I first started fortune telling, I felt a little embarrassed, so I remembered a stage name. The Taoist called himself a god's fortune teller. It sounded quite suitable for being a fortune teller, so I used it.
I didn’t expect that this would last for ten years, but since you are the first person, you finally have some hope, and the ninety-nine people behind me will come soon.”
Zhang Luochen thought that your goal of a hundred people is probably in a difficult situation. I don’t know how this magician calculated the time for three years and five years. It’s not that easy to get up to level 99. There are still a hundred people. It’s a lucky one.
But in this way, the God of Warcraft arranged this person to be a fortune teller, which should be in the same year as the Three Realms Legend game. After careful calculation, it was probably still after the public beta of the game. If the time of the two worlds is synchronized, that is, the God of Warcraft first ran to the earth to make this game, and then came back to arrange this person to be a fortune teller, preparing to welcome the arrival of the player army. But I don’t know why he thought that a large number of players would practice to level 99 to travel to this world in three or five years.
As for the leveling speed of the legend of the Three Realms, unless you stay awake for twenty-four hours, or have a plug-in for automatically leveling up and killing monsters, how can you get to level 99 in three or five years?
He patted the man on the shoulder with some sympathy, "What if you can't wait for those 100 people? If you don't want to do it, forget it. It seems that you are not young, don't waste your youth in vain."
The fortune teller smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You think I really like being a fortune teller so much. I have saved a lot of money over the years and I have long since wanted to do it. But the divine fortune teller cast a spell on me. If I don't do what he said, I will die in seven days. That god is a god, how dare I take risks with me?
Moreover, I have become a fortune teller for the past ten years and have become a little used to it. Anyway, I can be free and leisurely in this life. Besides, even if I don’t tell fortunes, what can I do? I have lived like this for ten years, and I can’t do anything else.
Young Master, you don’t have to worry about me. I think with you, the ninety-nine people behind should be soon.”
After saying that, he bowed to Zhang Luochen and turned around and left.
Zhang Luochen had no choice but to return to the inn, but found that there was no one here. After asking for information, he found out that Hong Zhouzi and Qin Zi'ang had moved out and bought a house in the east of the city, not far from the Lingyunguan construction site.
When he finally found there, he found that Hong Zhouzi was giving instructions to several officials. His face looked red and majestic. He was obviously very adaptable to the current life of dealing with wealthy officials all day long.
"Ah, young master, you are back. Now Lingxu Village has been deployed. Thousands of craftsmen and coolies have been hired and a lot of clay and tiles have been bought. There are accounts here. Do you want to review them?"
Zhang Luochen waved his hand, "No need, you can make your own decisions about such mundane things."
Hong Zhouzi saw that he was in a bad mood, but he saw something.
"Why is the young master so depressed? Could it be that something bad happened?"
Zhang Luochen sighed and told him about Yang Baichu.
