Chapter 6: The Fortune Gathering Talisman Deducts Fortune

Chapter 6: The Fortune Gathering Talisman Deducts Fortune

She, she, she had actually obtained a Fortune Gathering Talisman for real!!!

After being used, the Fortune Gathering Talisman could gather wealth luck.

According to the logic of web novels, maybe she could make a windfall fortune!

Lei Yating could not help slapping herself.

Only after feeling the genuine pain and seeing that the Fortune Gathering Talisman in her hand had not disappeared did she believe this was real!!!

“I can already live my life over again, getting a cheat from a Red Packet Group isn’t impossible either...”

Although she did not know what kind of immortal this Supreme Heavenly Official of Bestowed Blessings was, judging from such a long title, he sounded incredibly impressive.

A Heavenly Official of Bestowed Blessings.

Maybe he was a deity similar to a God of Wealth or God of Fortune?

She repeatedly examined the talisman paper in her hand, occasionally bringing it to the tip of her nose for a sniff.

Whether it was an illusion or not, after smelling the sandalwood scent on the talisman paper, she felt refreshed and invigorated, completely sweeping away her earlier exhaustion and listlessness.

Lei Yating became a little more convinced than before.

She decided not to leave the group yet and would first test the power of the Fortune Gathering Talisman.

If this cheat was real, by staying in this group she might be able to snatch even more good things, and then...

Only then could her life truly change!

Lei Yating took a deep breath and finally stood up.

Only then did she realize that both her legs had gone numb.

“My god, my legs are sore to death...”

She took a long time to recover before feeling better, stuffed her phone and the Fortune Gathering Talisman back into her pocket, and lowered her head as if nothing had happened.

“Yating, does your stomach hurt?”

Hearing someone call her name, Lei Yating abruptly raised her head.

After staring for a while, she remembered that this was her roommate.

She answered vaguely, “Mm... my stomach hurts a little...”

Her memories were somewhat distant, but Lei Yating vaguely recalled that this roommate’s name was Xiao Hong.

In her previous life, she had been sweet-talked by that scumbag into getting pregnant and dropping out of school, so her relationship with Xiao Hong had been rather distant.

She only knew that Xiao Hong later returned to her hometown, found a nursing job in a village town, and married a man with violent tendencies.

That man despised Xiao Hong for her experiences during college and would beat and verbally abuse her at the slightest provocation.

Before reaching thirty years old, she had already become as haggard as a fifty-year-old woman.

Thinking of this, Lei Yating could not help sighing and felt a little more sympathy and pity toward Xiao Hong.

But pity was pity.

If Xiao Hong had not smoked, drunk, fought, gotten tattoos, and mixed with street gangs, perhaps her husband would have treated her a little better, right?

In the end, it was because she did not respect herself and brought it upon herself.

Thinking this way, Lei Yating felt a little more contempt for her.

Pei Ye: “...”

She had not missed Lei Yating’s sympathy and contempt, but she felt even more speechless.

If Lei Yating were truly someone who had been reborn, she should be shocked that the Xiao Hong who was supposed to have died last night was still alive, not imagining all this unrelated nonsense.

This body called Xiao Hong had already gone cold in the hospital.

It was only Pei Ye’s arrival that had extended her life.

The details of this so-called rebirth were far too careless.

“Drink more hot water.”

Pei Ye offered a piece of advice worthy of a stereotypical straight man.

Lei Yating smiled weakly, but inwardly she was extremely irritated.

She desperately wanted to test whether the Fortune Gathering Talisman was real, but Pei Ye was keeping her occupied, making it awkward for her to drive her away.

After finally sending Pei Ye off, Lei Yating hurriedly left the dormitory and went to the nearest lottery outlet.

She did not know the true capabilities of the Fortune Gathering Talisman.

At the same time, in order to verify whether the cheat was real, she simply selected several lottery tickets from a game that drew winning numbers every ten minutes.

“Young lady, your luck is really good.”

A few minutes later, when the winning numbers were announced, Lei Yating’s fingers trembled.

She, who had always been cursed with terrible luck and could go through two hundred and fifty gacha pulls without obtaining a single limited SSR, had actually won!

Although it was not the grand prize, she had bought several tickets with the same numbers.

Altogether, the winnings came to forty thousand yuan.

Lei Yating’s family was not poor.

Her parents were local residents of the city.

They owned a home and a car for daily transportation.

The family had no debts, and the couple earned more than three hundred thousand yuan a year.

However, it would be inaccurate to call them wealthy.

This was a first-tier city, and the cost of living was very high.

They could not support Lei Yating living extravagantly while attending school.

This unexpected forty thousand yuan was also the largest amount of money Lei Yating had ever possessed in her life.

Yes, including her previous life.

When she thought about how she had devoted herself wholeheartedly to that phoenix man, only for him to treat her that way, guarding against her as if she were a thief and constantly tricking money out of her for his mother.

After so many years of marriage, he had never allowed more than forty thousand yuan to remain in her hands.

Her heart turned cold.

She took out her phone and sent a message breaking up with the phoenix man.

Goodbye, scumbag!

Lei Yating wanted revenge.

However, there was nothing she could do to the scumbag and his mistress right now.

There would always be opportunities in the future.

As soon as she left, Pei Ye emerged from her hiding place, her brows slightly furrowed.

Although Pei Ye’s spiritual domain had collapsed and been greatly weakened because of illness, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse.

Investigating an ordinary person was still no problem.

“That Fortune Gathering Talisman is quite strange...”

When Lei Yating used the Fortune Gathering Talisman, Pei Ye’s spiritual domain had detected a subtle change in the aura around her.

“Tsk, girls these days are really bold, using any mysterious thing they come across.”

Opening the game interface, Pei Ye tapped on the System Records section on the left side.

A new entry had appeared there.

[12:33, Heroine Lei Yating used the Fortune Gathering Talisman, Fortune -23]

“The Fortune Gathering Talisman doesn’t gather fortune at all. Instead, it deducted 23 points of Fortune.”

There was indeed something suspicious about it.

However, Pei Ye had never been a particularly good person, nor did she go around looking for trouble to involve herself in.

As long as Lei Yating only harmed herself, Pei Ye could not be bothered to interfere.

She merely needed to follow Lei Yating and complete the main quests.

After all, if someone insisted on seeking death, nobody could stop them.

Pei Ye was just preparing to look for the red figure at the intersection.

Since she had nothing better to do anyway, a phone in her pocket suddenly began blasting music at the top of its lungs.

“Love even if it kills you!!!”

“If it’s not completely and utterly intense, it’s not satisfying...”

The old man passing by nearly jumped in fright.

“Why is your volume so loud? Have you no decency?”

Seeing that Pei Ye did not respond, the old man grumbled as he walked away.

The innocent Pei Ye reached into her pocket and discovered that it was the second-hand smartphone originally belonging to Xiao Hong that was ringing.

The caller ID read Big Sister Bai.

Pei Ye frowned.

She remembered that this woman was the street boss who had sold Xiao Hong out and acted as her pimp.

“Hello...”

The cheap smartphone’s speaker was incredibly loud, and Sister Bai was already filled with anger.

Even from one or two metres away from Pei Ye, the roar from the other end of the call could be heard clearly.

“Hello what hello? Have your wings grown hard now? I kindly introduced you to a rich second-generation boyfriend, and not only were you ungrateful, you even stood him up? What kind of thing are you, and what kind of status does he have? Are you trying to piss me off to death? If you hadn’t said you wanted to marry into a better life, would I have introduced such a high-quality resource to you? Xiao Hong, don’t reject kindness after it’s offered to you! Think about it. Who gave you the good life you’re living now? How can someone be as ungrateful and repay kindness with hostility as you?”

“So what do you want?”

If it had been the real Xiao Hong, this torrent of scolding from Sister Bai would have filled her with guilt and made her reflect on whether she had done something wrong.

But Pei Ye knew very clearly that the Sister Bai on the other end of the phone and yesterday’s rich second-generation man were the indirect and direct causes of Xiao Hong’s death.

She had no interest in meddling in other people’s affairs.

But if they happened to fall into her hands, none of them should expect to escape.
