Online Game: Lord Of The Wheel Of Destiny

After leaving the supply station, Jiang Kai still couldn't quite believe it.

In just ten days, he had earned 1.8 million Union Coins—a staggering fortune for someone of his humble origins.

With this money, his elder brother could now proceed with the hospital admission process and start preparations for the necessary surgeries.

"Ten days to earn more than half the required amount. If I go hunting for a few more days, my brother's medical expenses will be completely covered." Thinking of this, Jiang Kai couldn't resist the urge to go hunting again.

At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling softly nearby.

"Hey, young man. Over here!"

Following the voice, Jiang Kai spotted a familiar figure.

It was that fortune-teller, Hu Yan.

Before he set out, Hu Yan had given him a fortune reading, suggesting that the King's Valley was the best choice.

He had to admit—the guy was spot-on.

Jiang Kai had obtained the Arsonist Gloves in the King's Valley, which enabled him to solo the king's valley and earn a fortune.

Seeing that Jiang Kai didn't approach him, Hu Yan hurriedly trotted over, beaming as he said, "You must be Jiang Kai. I knew it. You've got an extraordinary aura. My people-reading skills are pretty accurate, huh?"

"How do you know my name? Don't tell me you divined it," Jiang Kai frowned.

"Heh, heh, I'm not that good yet. The incident where you took down the Black Tortoise Falcon squad alone in the safety belt has spread far and wide. How could I not know?"

At the mention of that, Jiang Kai's brows furrowed even more, and he said irritably, "You told me the King's Valley was my best choice. Out of four areas, I picked one, and then my enemies showed up immediately. Care to explain?"

"Oh, they wouldn't have found you without me pointing the way," Hu Yan replied, grinning smugly.

Jiang Kai stared at him in shock. 'This guy is actually admitting—right to my face—that he had guided the Falcon squad?'

Noticing Jiang Kai's change in expression, Hu Yan seemed to realize something and quickly explained, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not one of them. Look, here's what happened: when I saw the Falcon squad arrive at the safety belt, I could tell right away they were searching for something."

"Falcon is a well-known team, so I thought, why not raise my profile a bit? I gave them a fortune reading, saying what they were looking for was in the King's Valley. I didn't know what they were looking for was you."

Jiang Kai looked at Hu Yan's earnest attempt to explain, feeling a little dizzy from his words.

"Jiang Kai, think about it: I said the King's Valley was your best choice, and your luck there was great. Even though you ran into the Falcons, didn't it turn out fine? Doesn't that prove my reading was accurate?"

As Hu Yan explained, Jiang Kai found that, oddly enough, it kind of made sense.

And on another note, if Hu Yan truly didn't know the Falcons were after him but still managed to deduce where they should search, it proved the guy had some skill.

Seeing Hu Yan's sincere expression, Jiang Kai temporarily let down his guard and asked, "So, why are you looking for me this time?"

"Heh, heh, well, I heard you don't have a team. How about you take me along in the future?" Hu Yan rubbed his hands together, looking a bit shifty.

"You can't fight, you can't heal, and you… look sketchy. I'll pass."

"I admit the first two points, but as for the third, I must object. Clothes make the man, and this look fits a fortune-teller perfectly. If I changed my hairstyle and dressed up, I'd be more handsome than you."

"Then I'll definitely pass," Jiang Kai replied mercilessly.

Hu Yan found himself stuck, but being Hu Yan, he quickly grabbed Jiang Kai's arm, pleading, "Okay, okay, you're the handsome one. But listen, I might not be good at fighting or healing, but I am good at fortune-telling. I'll do it for free from now on."

Jiang Kai squinted at him, scrutinizing his motives. "Why are you so desperate to team up with me? Aren't you a second-tier professional?"

A second-tier profession meant Hu Yan had already surpassed level 20.

"Because no one wants me..." Hu Yan's usual cheeky tone suddenly turned somber, his voice choking slightly. "I've been in Destiny Calling for nine years. Non-combat professions have it rough here. Most teams won't take us. We Feng Shui Society members barely scrape by in the early stages by forming our own leveling teams and relying on gear. But now that I'm second-tier, progressing further is nearly impossible."

"Jiang Kai, I know you're not ordinary. I saw it the first time we met. I promise to work hard in the team. I won't ask for much experience, and I don't need loot either."

"I just want to see it—the advanced path for a Feng Shui Master. What is it? Destiny Calling promises that every profession has its ultimate path. So, what is the ultimate profession for a Feng Shui Master?"

Initially, Jiang Kai had no intention of teaming up with Hu Yan, but his words made Jiang Kai pause.

[You will have the opportunity to explore your ultimate profession...] Those were the system's first words upon entering Destiny Calling.

Martial Artists, Soldiers, Executioners, Barefoot Doctors—they currently dominated combat teams. Yet other professions were being abandoned as the beasts in new regions grew stronger.

But could there really be no ultimate path for a Feng Shui Master?

No ultimate path for Drunkards, Beggars, or Gamblers?

Despite Hu Yan's sketchy demeanor, Jiang Kai couldn't deny that he deeply respected his dedication to his profession. Hu Yan was willing to endure others' disdain, all for the sake of improving his abilities.

After a long silence, Hu Yan released Jiang Kai's arm, sighed, and lowered his head.

"I understand... We really don't contribute much in battle and might even become a burden..."

Taking a deep breath, Hu Yan raised his head again, forcing his usual grin back onto his face.

"By the way, you shouldn't go adventuring for a while."

"Why?" Jiang Kai asked, puzzled.

"Something dangerous is approaching." Hu Yan said mysteriously. "Whether or not you take me along, consider this one on the house." With that, Hu Yan turned to leave.

Just as Hu Yan had walked a few steps, a voice suddenly called out from behind him.

"Hey!"

Hu Yan turned, surprised to see Jiang Kai.

"If you team up with me, aren't you afraid of being dragged down?" Jiang Kai asked.

Hu Yan hesitated briefly before smiling faintly. "I've already been abandoned. What's there to fear?"

"Do you really know how to divine, or are you just winging it?"

"Ahem, well... At least 60% of it is real."

Jiang Kai nearly spat blood. That meant the guy was bluffing 40% of the time.

"Fortune-telling is about observing heaven, earth, and people, interpreting signs based on one's understanding. But... Even with talent, this planet is full of mysteries. Who can truly claim to see through the heavens or guarantee their interpretations are correct?" Hu Yan said with a self-deprecating smile. "I still believe a Feng Shui Master's ultimate profession would be incredible. But even I'm starting to doubt it."

After a moment's thought, Jiang Kai said, "I'll trust you this time. If it comes true, I'll find you next time I log in."
