168: Picking up a chosen one for nothing
Chen Tianming's heart was filled with wild joy.
With this, can he change his or others' luck just by relying on Feng Shui?
“How long does it last?”
“At the initial stage of Level 1, it can last for ten seconds.”
Chen Tianming was speechless.
It seems that like other elements, the higher the level, the stronger the ability.
Currently, this ability can at most be used for pranks.
“The system has detected that the host's Devil's Value has reached enough for ten consecutive draws. Would you like to proceed with the lottery?”
After Chen Tianming confirmed, a colorful turntable appeared before his eyes.
Subsequently, the system's prompt sounded.
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining an Any Element Upgrade Card *1.”
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining an Essence Cultivation Pill *1.”
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Rejuvenation Pill *1.”
“Congratulations to the host for drawing a plain steamed bun *1.”
“……”
Listening to the system's series of prompts, Chen Tianming was also tallying the genuinely useful items he had obtained.
“Now, I have two Element Upgrade Cards.”
Last time, he hadn't decided where to use it when his thoughts were interrupted.
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Tianming did not use it immediately but saved it temporarily.
It's not easy to obtain one.
After all, the system's rewards are random each time.
Good things must be used where they are most effective.
A gentle breeze blew, and Chen Tianming took out his phone and dialed Gao Zhiman's number.
“I'll send you the location. Notify people to come over.”
Lu Duoxin had two prior criminal records at the police station.
Adding today's bomb incident.
The police could completely define his death as an accident.
With the matter resolved, Chen Tianming let out a long sigh of relief and turned to look at Wan Yue, who had come with him.
“I think we should head back too.”
Wan Yue nodded, “Okay.”
The two walked back along the way they came.
Suddenly, Wan Yue's expression changed.
She also stopped in her tracks.
“What's wrong?”
Chen Tianming immediately sensed that something was off with Wan Yue.
“I feel it, such a familiar aura…”
Wan Yue's voice was low.
Chen Tianming was surprised, “Could it be, you're experiencing this again…”
The last time Wan Yue had this feeling was when he brought back her divine spark fragment.
Wan Yue did not answer.
Instead, she slowly closed her eyes.
Perceiving the surrounding aura.
Chen Tianming was not in a hurry either.
He stayed by Wan Yue's side, waiting quietly.
Suddenly, Wan Yue opened her eyes.
“Over there.”
Chen Tianming didn't hesitate at all, “I'll go with you.”
The two walked down an unfamiliar small path.
This was a City Village near the outskirts.
Compared to the prosperity of the city, the streets here seemed somewhat dilapidated.
And because of the complex human relationships here, even the buildings had a somewhat disorganized feel.
Many households, in order to earn more money, chose to add additional floors to their already not-so-good-looking houses.
Walking here, it's hard to imagine that they are still in the magic capital.
“This place is really somewhat speechless.”
It was late now, but that didn't mean the streets were empty.
Everyone looked at Chen Tianming and Wan Yue with subtle expressions.
Perhaps they were attracted by Wan Yue's beautiful appearance.
Or perhaps Chen Tianming's branded attire caught their attention.
His entire outfit could buy a house here.
“This kind of place doesn't seem to have anything remarkable. Can we really find it?”
Chen Tianming was very skeptical about this.
Wan Yue didn't speak, but the expression on her face gradually grew serious.
“I can feel it, the aura is getting stronger.”
In this regard, Wan Yue had never made a mistake.
Chen Tianming said nothing else.
Soon, the two stopped in front of a house.
To be honest, Chen Tianming was truly unwilling to call the building in front of him a house.
The exterior building materials were inconsistent, clearly modified haphazardly to expand the area.
From the windows, it seemed that quite a few people lived in this house.
It was generally used to accommodate tenants who couldn't make it in the city or who were recently struggling financially.
“This is it.”
Wan Yue stood at the door, her eyes seeming to glow.
Chen Tianming didn't say a word.
He directly knocked on the door in front of him.
After an unknown amount of time, the room door opened.
A man's slightly lazy voice came through.
There was also a hint of reluctance in his tone.
“Who is it? So late?”
The man's face wasn't very pleasant.
Normally, he rented his rooms to young girls.
These tenants were usually very careful and wouldn't easily lose their keys, let alone knock at this hour.
As the door opened, the man's face was fully exposed to Chen Tianming.
Instantly, a golden light flashed before Chen Tianming.
Subsequently, the system's prompt sounded.
“Name: Du Yuhang”
“Identity: City Village Self-built House Landlord (Child of Destiny)”
“Strength: Mortal”
“Carries a Rental System”
“Rental System: Renting houses to beauties can influence their consciousness and earn system rewards.”
Chen Tianming had seen many system owners before.
Only this system made Chen Tianming's eyes light up.
Renting houses to beauties.
Wouldn't that be living with many beauties in disguise?
Not only could he feast his eyes, but he could also use this opportunity to obtain system rewards.
This was too great, wasn't it?
Looking at the building in front of him, although its appearance wasn't great, it had three floors.
If fully occupied, it could accommodate at least twenty beauties.
“Just killed one and ran into another.”
Chen Tianming muttered under his breath.
“Who are you looking for?”
Upon seeing a man outside the door, Du Yuhang's expression immediately turned cold.
He also became more cautious.
And Chen Tianming, seeing his current appearance, also felt a bit displeased.
With such a powerful system, he should logically be paired with a man of similar caliber.
Only then would it be considered a perfect match.
But look at Du Yuhang.
This person was probably less than 1.7 meters tall.
His weight was at least 200 pounds.
He looked utterly greasy.
He was also wearing a gray T-shirt, its collar stained black with sweat.
It made people feel a bit disgusted just looking at him.
Is this what a system owner looks like?
“I'm here with a friend of mine.”
Chen Tianming's tone was normal.
“There's no one you're looking for here this late at night. Hurry up and leave.”
Not a beauty, Du Yuhang's attitude cooled considerably.
After speaking, he was about to close the door.
Chen Tianming's face darkened.
He propped the door open with one hand.
Du Yuhang couldn't close the door even with both hands.
Seeing that he couldn't match Chen Tianming in strength, the man immediately became anxious.
“What do you want? Don't cause trouble here late at night. Do you believe I'll call the police?”
Chen Tianming sneered.
This guy really had no ability.
He even tried to threaten him with the police.
“Suit yourself, but today we insist on going in to check.”
