"Hmm...that's true...then last night must have just been a normal earthquake..."
After breakfast, Shen He went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Zhu Zi diligently picked up a rag, and prepared to wipe all the tables in the shop. Xia Zhi sat alone in a chair, thinking about things.
In fact, the earthquake last night was accidentally caused by him while testing the power of the talismans and spell scrolls.
He hadn't expected the nine-elemental chain reaction to be so intense. Even though Mount Tianheng separated Dunyu Mausoleum from Liyue City, he could still feel the aftershocks of the explosion.
Fortunately, he activated Time Stop out of caution; otherwise, the [Resurrection Coin] would probably have already been used up.
However, this is also a good thing. The greater the power that they unleash when combined, the more powerful his trump card is.
Nothing much happened in the morning, and no friends came to visit, so the three of them played mahjong for a while.
Zhu Zi wasn't good at cards, but he was lucky and always managed to get good cards.
Shen He's luck is average, but his card skills are good, and he rarely loses.
As for Xia Zhi, he had a god-like perspective, and he could clearly see what cards the two girls had and what cards they were missing. He would occasionally feed a few cards to the girl who was losing more, controlling the water temperature.
Until noon.
Xia Zhi made a big stir-fried pork belly and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and also stewed a kelp and pork rib soup.
The dishes were very home-style, but they were so delicious that the two girls couldn't help but eat two more bowls of rice.
It was too hot outside in the afternoon, so I stayed in the shop to rest.
Xia Zhi took out a carving knife and jade material, and carved a jade buckle and a jade unicorn.
"Boss, is this safety amulet a gift for Qiqi?"
"Ah."
"This jade unicorn must be a gift for Miss Gan Yu, right?"
"Correct."
"Doesn't Miss Xiangling have it?"
"Yes, I do. I'm still thinking about what to carve."
"How about we carve a crispy rice crust?"
"Crispy rice crust..."
"Oh right, boss, you can't see it, so you don't know what crispy rice looks like..."
"I've seen red pandas before."
"Oh! Then let's carve a little panda, it's not too different from rice crackers."
Xia Zhi then carved another cute little panda, and then went to the kitchen to make mung bean paste. After it was done, he asked Shen He to freeze it.
Its light green color is pleasing to the eye, and its taste is smooth, sweet, and refreshing.
"Is it tasty?"
"good to eat!"
"Next time I'll make red bean ice for you guys. It's sweeter and has blood-nourishing properties, which is good for girls."
Blood replenishment? Zhu Zi thought of something, blushed and nodded: "Okay."
Shen He wasn't as shy as her, or perhaps he simply hadn't considered the embarrassing things Zhu Zi was thinking about at that moment, and nodded gently: "Mm."
After finishing their mung bean smoothie, the three of them played mahjong for a while, and it was past four in the afternoon.
The cooldown for "Stealing Skills" is over, so it can be used again.
Xia Zhi glanced at Shen He, who was drawing cards, and chose her.
"Use [Learn from Others] on the target?"
"Yes."
"Successfully used [Steal] skill and learned the skill [Lone Star] from the target."
"【Learn from Others】 is now on cooldown. It can be used again in 24 hours."
"【Lonely Star】: Passive, reduces the luck of those around you by 75%".
Xia Zhi looked at the skill descriptions on the system panel and fell silent.
No, how can Shen He possess such terrifying and bizarre abilities?
But after Shen He arrived, I didn't seem to feel that unlucky at all...
While playing cards, Xia Zhi opened his personal attribute interface to check.
He saw that the luck value displayed above had not been reduced by 75%.
This means that Shen He's [Lonely Star] is not currently active.
Could it be that this ability was sealed away by her master?
Xia Zhi silently observed the cards on the two girls' cards.
Sure enough, ever since he secretly learned the passive skill [Lonely Star], the two girls started getting worse and worse cards. Not to mention winning, they even had difficulty getting a ready hand.
Xia Zhi roughly realized how terrifying this ability was. Fortunately, the system could turn passive skills on and off at any time. After he turned off [Lonely Star], the two girls' luck immediately returned to normal, and the cards they drew became better again.
Zhu Zi and Shen He simply assumed it was just a matter of bad luck on one or two occasions and didn't notice anything unusual.
Xia Zhi pondered in his heart.
The negative effects of this passive skill are too powerful. He would never use it in daily life, otherwise Zhu Zi and Shen He would be in big trouble, and the guests who come to drink would definitely be affected as well.
However, if you activate it during battle, it might have a surprising effect by greatly reducing the luck of the surrounding enemies.
Xia Zhi glanced at Shen He, whose expression was aloof. He didn't know about Shen He's family background, and Shen He had never mentioned her parents. He only knew that she had been adopted by Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun when she was young, and that she and Chong Yun's family were distant relatives.
But looking at the negative effects of [Lonely Star], he could easily deduce that Shen He's family must have experienced some very bad things when she was young.
A person who brings misfortune to others...
Perhaps this is why she was adopted by the little crane.
Xia Zhi couldn't help but feel some sympathy for her.
Through these days of getting to know each other, he has basically figured out Shen He's character and knows that she is actually a kind girl with a cold exterior but a warm heart.
Girls like this deserve to be treated gently.
However, thinking about it from another angle, Xia Zhi felt a little curious.
If the seal on Shen He is broken, and the negative effects of his and her two [Lone Stars] take effect simultaneously, will Zhu Zi's luck be -150% (added together) or -93.75% (multiplied together)?
What happens when luck turns negative?
Is it impossible for me to succeed at anything? Is everything going to be incredibly unlucky?
The three of them played mahjong for a while longer, and around 5 o'clock, Gan Yu arrived.
"Mr. Xia, Junior Sister Shen He, Miss Zhu Zi..."
"Is Miss Gan Yu finally done with her work?"
"Well, I've almost finished dealing with the backlog of work from the Lunar Festival, so things should be a bit easier from now on. What are you guys doing?"
"Mahjong! Miss Gan Yu, come play with us! Four people are just right! It's a lot of fun! We'll teach you!"
"Oh?"
Gan Yu was intrigued and sat down at the table, quickly becoming familiar with the rules.
"I see, I basically understand now, let's begin."
"I think I won?"
"Oh no, I think I won again."
"Robbing the kong, I won."
"Hey, is this called a Heavenly Hand?"
……
Xia Zhi, Zhu Zi, and Shen He looked at Gan Yu's smiling face and fell silent.
Is this the terrifying fortune that the Qilin brings as an auspicious symbol of a prosperous era?
terrible.
Chapter 133 Such Divine Skills Exist in the World
Gan Yu's luck is truly outrageous.
Ever since she sat down at the table, she's been winning non-stop.
Even when Xia Zhi deliberately fed cards to Shen He, the player to her left, she couldn't break her rhythm.
This kind of card game where one person wins is actually not very interesting.
However, seeing the happy smile on Gan Yu's face, the three of them tacitly continued playing with her.
