Chapter 10

Monday mornings always exude a lazy atmosphere; weekends are truly heinous, and Monday is even more detestable!

As Fang Shi walked into the bank, he felt that everyone around him had a deep look of impatience on their faces. Cashing a check was quite troublesome, filling out a pile of forms, photocopying his ID, and needing authorization. It took a lot of effort just to get 100,000 yuan, which, in today's Pengcheng, doesn't even count as wealth.

Fang Shi chose a bank card he never used. If he had to say why, it was because he always had a feeling that this money didn't belong to him, and subconsciously, he didn't want to touch it.

"Haha..."

"Boss, what's wrong? What are you laughing about?"

Liu Dafu raised his phone and turned the text message notification on the screen toward a bald man sitting across the desk, smiling as he said:

"That kid cashed the check. It seems he's a smart one, but if he's in this line of work, he can't be a fool. He should at least know the basic rules of the game."

"Oh, that kid! Looking at his attitude, he doesn't have the guts to challenge you, Boss."

"Don't underestimate these guys, especially this one. Who knows what other strange abilities he might have."

"Boss, didn't you test him? If he had other skills, how could he be so obedient! Besides, his background is very clean; he doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives."

"He probably doesn't, but it's better to be cautious. Important matters must not be revealed to him."

"Understood!"

"Baldy, keep an eye on the goods tonight. Don't let anything go wrong."

"Don't worry, Boss. But, Boss, do you really believe this guy has real skills?"

"The possibility is high. At least in front of me, he accurately predicted two major events."

"Maybe it was just a coincidence."

"Of course, that's a possibility, but he might also have real skills. I, your Boss, have never lacked the courage to take a gamble. Moreover, we've thoroughly investigated his background. If he had no skills, he would have been scared into confessing long ago. Today, he cashed the check, which clearly shows he's confident in his abilities."

"But... his background doesn't show where he got these skills from."

"Who knows? The world is vast, and there are many talented people. Perhaps, as he said, he is self-taught. That's why his experience in the underworld is so naive, and he easily exposed his roots, allowing me to control him."

The bald man moved his lips but didn't continue. This was ultimately the Boss's decision, and he should know when to stop. Besides, as the Boss said, even if he was deceived, there wouldn't be much loss. If there's someone who can make the Boss feel more comfortable and confident, it's not a bad thing.

"I understand. I'll go do the work."

"Alright, tell Glasses to be generous with the entertainment. I can't contact him directly. Tell him the Boss remembers him."

"Got it, I'm off."

"Alright, bring Qiangzi in, too."

....................

Fang Shi's days had been quite relaxed lately. Liu Dafu's daily activities weren't frequent. He usually met clients and friends or stayed at the company. Sometimes at night, he would invite Fang Shi to some clubs. Fang Shi had experienced the opulent and decadent life, but he never dared to sleep with those women, fearing he might contract HIV.

"Xiao Fang, you're really timid. The women here are all checked and have work permits. They're very safe!"

Lying on the massage bed, Liu Dafu's voice was somewhat muffled. Fang Shi turned his head and saw the women, almost naked. They seemed to ignore Liu Dafu's words, and the young woman massaging him even smiled.

Fang Shi sighed. He wasn't judging these women for their lack of shame. Everyone was just working for money. In a way, he wasn't much different from them. He was genuinely afraid of HIV because he couldn't die or get sick. If he did, what would happen to his brother and his elderly mother?

"Boss, everyone has their own principles. I don't need to do that to live."

"Haha... Little Sister, give him the full treatment. See if he can hold out. I heard there was an ancient man named Liu Xiaohui. Is there a Xiao Fang today? Haha..."

"Sure!" The woman behind Fang Shi responded in a coquettish voice, then two soft mounds pressed against his bare back, causing his lower body to become engorged.

"Uh..."

"Haha..."

....................

The club's lounge had both private rooms and large rooms, catering to different preferences. Some liked quiet, while others enjoyed interacting with strangers.

Liu Dafu didn't like interacting with strangers, or rather, his profession made him wary of everyone. So he rested in a private room.

"Fake prude, you still let someone give you a handjob in the end."

Qiangzi took a satisfied sip of ice beer and glanced at Fang Shi disdainfully.

Fang Shi awkwardly turned his head and silently drank his hot tea. Liu Dafu lay on the large sofa, squinting at Fang Shi with a slight smile, seemingly deep in thought.

"Xiao Fang, why has my luck been so ordinary these past few days?"

"Boss, ordinary is normal. There's a saying, 'fortune and misfortune are intertwined.' If your luck is very good, it might be followed by a period of bad luck. So, there's no need to expect great luck all the time."

"That's not how it works. I'm paying you to help me avoid misfortune and seek good fortune. If you can detect changes in my luck, we can take appropriate actions to gain advantages!"

"That's... " Fang Shi bit his lip and shook his head. "Boss, as the saying goes, 'you can't have your cake and eat it too.' It's impossible to have all the advantages. We can only strive for better luck. If you're too greedy..."

"Enough, you're lecturing the Boss! I'm paying you to help me avoid misfortune and seek good fortune. As the saying goes, 'if you receive money, you must help eliminate disasters.' If you can't do that, you know the consequences!"

Fang Shi sighed. Since discovering his ability, he had become increasingly respectful of the unpredictable cause and effect. He spent a lot of time studying books on cause and effect, but the information was limited. The more he learned, the more he respected it. Others couldn't see it, but Fang Shi could see the manifestations of cause and effect.

However, not long ago, Fang Shi himself didn't believe in these principles. Now, trying to convince others was beyond his confidence and ability. Moreover, he had no obligation to Liu Dafu. If Liu Dafu wanted to find his own death, Fang Shi had no reason to stop him.

"Qiangzi is right. If you receive money, you must help eliminate disasters. I will do my best."

"That's good, that's good, haha..." Liu Dafu smiled contentedly. "Is there a way to greatly improve someone's luck?"

Fang Shi was taken aback, then his mind started to work. Although Liu Dafu's motivation was greed, from Fang Shi's perspective, a fortune-teller shouldn't just see the premonitions of cause and effect. Throughout history, fortune-tellers were known for their ability to change cause and effect.

Avoiding misfortune and seeking good fortune shouldn't just be about dodging disasters with good eyesight. Enhancing luck has always been a golden招牌 (signboard) for fortune-tellers. Why had he been so focused on studying the cause and effect of luck values and neglected to find ways to enhance luck?

"There should be ways, but they are rare and hard to come by. As for feng shui, that's not my specialty, but I can determine if those methods are effective. If the Boss has any leads, we can give it a try."

Fang Shi wanted to use Liu Dafu's money and connections to test these methods, since he couldn't do it himself.

Hearing Fang Shi's response, Liu Dafu was slightly disappointed, but his eyes lit up when he heard that Fang Shi could confirm the effectiveness of the methods.

To be honest, finding a fortune-teller in Pengcheng is not difficult; there are plenty of them. You can often see them on the streets, and there are more temples and Taoist observatories in Pengcheng and the surrounding areas than you can count on both hands. However, the effectiveness of these places doesn't depend on their number but on whether they have real skills. In such a mixed environment, finding methods and items to enhance one's luck is not easy.

People like Liu Dafu, who often take shortcuts, tend to believe in these things. He had once sought out experts, but unfortunately, none of them provided immediate benefits. So he had gradually lost interest.

Now, with Fang Shi confidently saying he could determine the effectiveness of methods to enhance luck, Liu Dafu's interest was rekindled.

"Oh? Since Xiao Fang has this ability, let's give it a try. Tomorrow, we'll go to Cai Fu Street. There's a familiar antique shop there. We'll see what Xiao Fang can do."

"I'll do my best, though I'm not very familiar with these things."

"Kid, are you really capable or just bluffing? If you spend money on useless things, be prepared for the consequences."

Fang Shi frowned. "Who can guarantee such things? Besides, my method is to indirectly judge the effectiveness by observing the actual changes in the Boss's luck. What if the Boss's luck improves on its own? I can't guarantee that. If you're not sure, let's not go."

Liu Dafu chuckled. "Ignore this fool. I'm not that unreasonable. If things that can change a person's luck were everywhere, that would be unbelievable. I believe in you, haha..."
