Chen Lun interpreted the predictions of the cards based on the feedback from [Divination].
"Divination is not a 100% prediction of fate. It only gives a glimpse of the future. You don't have to believe it."
Chen Lun put down the poker and said softly.
Lambeau and Huggins looked at each other, both happy and worried.
The words of Mr. Jack just now made it very clear that their future is very happy. As for the separation after thirty-three years... that may be a sign of death.
Because only death can separate them.
What they are worried about is that their pet dog Frieda will die in the seventh week of autumn next year... which means that her life will be less than ten months.
"Mr. Jack, please Frieda...can you help her? I can give you more reward."
Huggins was a little nervous. He pulled the springer spaniel who was addicted to Mr. Jack's feet back into his arms, raised his head and said.
Hearing the word "reward", Chen Lun inexplicably felt a little happier.
He attributed this sudden pleasure to his willingness to help others.
'Changing a dog's fate...? '
Chen Lun thought to himself.
According to [divination], he probably had a glimpse of the future of this springer. It did not die naturally, but because of an accident, which led to its violent death.
At this moment, an intuition faintly told him that if he could change the fate of this dog, there might be some unexpected benefits.
"Frieda...well, her death was related to construction, decoration and tiles. At that time, we can try to prevent her from entering such scenes and stay away from similar things, which may change her ending."
Chen Lun's eyes were filled with mist. He looked at the eye-catching bright red square on the table and spoke slowly.
After hearing what he said, Lambeau and Huggins were both stunned.
They immediately remembered the topic they had discussed together last night - they planned to wait until next summer to sell Huggins' apartment, then renovate Lambeau's apartment together and live here for a while.
Could it be that... if she really does this, Frieda will die in an accident while renovating her house?
Lambeau and Huggins let out a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Jack, thank you very much for your advice...we understand."
Mr. Rambo said in a deep voice, and he looked at Huggins next to him.
"When we renovate, we must keep an eye on Frieda. Maybe we can take her to another property and settle her down."
"Oh Lambo, why don't we just sell the two apartments here and let's move to other places."
Huggins stroked his dog's fur.
Lambo was stunned, and finally nodded with a smile.
"Good idea, let's settle it then."
Chen Lun picked up the teacup, drank the last sip of the fruit tea inside, and paused with his fingers.
[By spying on and influencing the fate of Huggins' dog "Frieda", you made full use of the extraordinary power of [Animal Tamer] and [Soothsayer], gained a deeper understanding of fate, and gained 1,000 experience points. value, 2 skill points and 1 attribute point! 】
Chen Lun put down the tea cup, feeling a little surprised.
'Is this the reward you get by tapping into your extraordinary power...? '
He had also triggered this kind of panel reward in his previous life, but only a handful of times. The sparse similar posts on the forum also indicate that this situation is an extremely rare example among the player community.
So he once concluded that it would be very difficult for players to improve through this method. Players are accustomed to the huge rewards brought by completing tasks, and few can satisfy this kind of slow upgrade of "self-cultivation".
Not only does it take a lot of time and energy, but you also need to deeply study your own faction, current sequence, and mysterious connections to gain some insights and gain substantial accumulation before you can trigger this reward.
The conditions are too harsh.
This seems to be a "unique way" for game NPCs to grow and has nothing to do with their players.
'It is too difficult for local residents of this world to advance in the mysterious field. They rely on the accumulation of mysteries - knowledge, combat and perception, as well as the indispensable corresponding sequence of mysterious substances.
Each item is an extremely valuable asset. '
Chen Lun thought to himself, feeling a little emotional.
'Looking at players, their experience points include most of the mysterious accumulation, which is much more convenient... As long as they complete specific conditions and meet the prerequisite knowledge, they can be promoted. '
But maybe that's why the NPC extraordinary people in this world have gone through a lot of hardships and come through step by step, and are far stronger than ordinary players.
Among them, extraordinary beings who can become mid-sequence, or even advance to high-sequence, can also be regarded as "protagonists" to a certain extent. Whether it is strength, intelligence, strategy or luck, they are all first-class.
As the sequence progresses, the difficulty gradually increases.
Especially the transition between each level, low sequence enters the middle sequence, and the middle sequence enters the high sequence...
At low-sequence level, you only need to possess mysterious knowledge, and if you accumulate it enough, you can complete the promotion.
But once you want to break through to the middle sequence and complete the extraordinary transformation, in addition to the prerequisites of knowledge and accumulation, you also need the corresponding mysterious substances and specific rituals.
This kind of ritual, when placed among the player community, is similar to some kind of "job transfer mission."
'The experience value has just reached 10W, and there is a surplus of 24 skill points, but there are no skills to add points now, so I will save... 7 attribute points and use them all. '
Chen Lun thought to himself and evenly distributed the attribute points between endurance and intelligence, both reaching 36 points.
The hexagonal iron barrel warrior is one step closer!
Bang bang...!
At this time, there was suddenly a faint knocking sound on the iron door outside the courtyard.
Mr. Rambo quickly stood up, walked to the fixed intercom hanging on the wall, and pressed the button.
rustle……
"Hello, is Mr. Huggins here? He is not at home. Someone asked me to come here to find him... I am Noah, and I am here to complete a portrait commission for Mr. Huggins."
Noah's voice came from the intercom, and Chen Lun smiled slightly.
"Oh yes, I'm Huggins. I'm so sorry...Mr. Noah, please come in quickly."
Huggins came to Lambeau and spoke apologetically.
Then, he and Rambo went out together and welcomed Noah in.
"Hey, Mr. Jack."
Noah bowed his head, got into the living room from the door, scratched his head and said hello to Chen Lun.
The hound Frieda barked several times at the "giant", but Huggins stopped her.
"I'm sure you'll be here at this time."
Chen Lun smiled.
"You really know your destiny very well..."
Noah put down the tool bag in his hand, patted the snowflakes on his shoulder, and smiled.
Lambeau and Huggins next to him agreed very much with this statement.
"It's just a simple judgment of how long it takes to get from next door to here."
Chen Lun shrugged.
Everyone smiled.
"Do you two know each other?"
Rambo spoke.
"Oh, yes, Mr. Lambo... We are members of a team. If you need entrustment in the future, you can continue to come to us."
Chen Lun took the opportunity to take out two business cards and handed them into their hands.
Mr. Rambo lifted it up and saw that it read "Circus Comprehensive Office", and the small letters indicated that it could undertake various commissions, such as painting, divination, pet training, security escort, etc.
"Since you are from the same firm, your level must be very high... We have already seen Mr. Jack's divination skills, which are really amazing!"
Huggins looked at the business card and complimented Noah.
He originally wanted to paint a portrait of himself, but now he suddenly changed his mind.
"Mr. Noah, I would like to change the commission. Of course, the commission fee will be increased accordingly."
Huggins said.
He took Rambo's arm, touched Frieda's head, and smiled at Noah:
"Please help us paint a family oil painting of the same frame, please."
"No problem, Mr. Huggins."
Noah skillfully unzipped the tool bag, took out the easel, arranged it, and covered it with canvas.
Huggins and Rambo sat in the front, close to each other, and Frieda the hound squatted obediently between them.
But its eyes would glance towards Chen Lun from time to time, being attracted uncontrollably.
"Mr. Noah, could you please make me a little...well, a little more beautiful when you are creating?"
Huggins was a little embarrassed and laughed a few times.
Noah was a little surprised, but nodded seriously.
"sure."
"Thanks."
Huggins breathed out and smiled brightly.
Chen Lun glanced at them and sighed secretly.
If Huggins can become a transcendent of the [Star Faction], it seems that many problems can be solved, but this is not realistic.
Putting aside the fact that there is a certain threshold for entering the mysterious realm, even if you really become a transcendent, it is not easy to be promoted to [Sequence 6 - Witch].
Moreover, the mysterious realm is full of dangers and strangeness... Sometimes, being an ordinary person may be the best choice.
Chen Lun did not stay there to disturb Noah's painting, but silently left the living room and came to the corridor.
He found many paintings hanging on the walls of the corridor.
'Lombaugh and Huggins are also well-established people in the inner city, and they generally like to collect this kind of art...'
Chen Lun thought to himself.
As I walked, I admired these valuable paintings through the lights from the ceiling.
suddenly.
Chen Lun stopped and was attracted by one of the paintings.
It was a long oil painting, and the content on it seemed to depict a silent dinner.
Seven men and women, whose faces could not be seen clearly, were dining around a dining table.
Chen Lun stared at the painting with an expression of surprise, and silently read the name of the corner of the painting in his heart -
"The Dinner Party of the Seven Gods"
Written by Clarenco.
Below the signature, there is also a seal marked with the word "Copy".
'Clarenco...'
This name was very familiar, and Chen Lun immediately remembered that when he met the Silver Dragon Witch, his Majesty had told him about his affairs, so he could learn more about the deeds of "Clarenzo".
Was this the person who drew it?
The seven men and women having a dinner party in the oil painting are obviously the seven righteous gods...
The "Fierce Father" sits in the center, flanked by the "Moonlight Granny" holding a bowl and taking soup, the "Brilliant Queen" holding her chin in thought, and the "Mrs. Rose" and "Clay Man" who are talking in a low voice on the left. On the right is the "Eternal Sleeper" who is sleeping in a chair and "Mr. Jingyao" who is drinking silently.
'Why is this kind of mystical oil painting in a mortal's home...? '
Chen Lun frowned.
'And it's too dangerous, this is a painting involving gods! '
