Chapter 2

Liu Yuan didn't respond, clearly stunned by the unknown courage Chen Yang had shown.

Chen Yang shook his head with a bitter smile. He was a man of self-awareness; he just wanted to try out the effect of the ordinary fate charm. Chasing the school beauty goddess was something he had never even considered; he just didn't want to pick a random test subject.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the dorm, Chen Yang took out the ordinary fate charm, wrote Li Yanran's name on it, and as he thought about it, the charm turned into a beam of green light and disappeared before his eyes.

This left Chen Yang both confused and impressed.

"I wonder what the effect will be..."

Muttering to himself, Chen Yang shifted his gaze to the chat group, finding it quite interesting to watch the various deities chat. Many well-known deities were lively and vivid in this WeChat group. After watching for a while, Chen Yang got a general idea of the situation in the group.

The active members were mostly low-level officials from the Heavenly Court, such as the Third Prince Nezha, the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess, Lü Dongbin of the Eight Immortals, the God of Strength, and the Thousand-Mile Eyes and Wind-Ear. They probably had less to do, so they spent more time chatting and rarely sent red envelopes due to their low salaries.

The middle-level officials, like Erlang Shen, the Matchmaker, the God of Wealth, Taibai Jinxing, and the Fairy Chang'e, had higher salaries, so they were the ones who usually sent red envelopes.

There were also the high-level officials, like the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West, but they hadn't shown up in a long time, clearly being the eternal lurkers.

After waiting for almost an hour, Chen Yang didn't get any red envelopes but was getting hungry. He changed his clothes and went to the cafeteria, picking up a few dishes and eating while keeping an eye on his phone to avoid missing any red envelopes.

Buzz!

Suddenly, his phone vibrated.

Another red envelope!

Chen Yang quickly copied and pasted the message, but his speed was still too slow, and he didn't manage to grab it.

"Looks like getting one last time was just luck..."

Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh bitterly. The speed of the single dogs from the Heavenly Court was far beyond what a mere mortal like him could match.

Third Prince Nezha: "Sorry, I got it by accident."

Lü Dongbin: "Envious..."

Lightning Goddess: "Erlang Shen, that's not very nice. There are only ten spots in the red envelope, how can you divide it?"

Thunder God: "My wife is right. You're a high-ranking, rich, and handsome god, don't be stingy, send more!"

God of Strength: "Brother Erlang, please, I'm already struggling this month..."

Erlang Shen: "Alright, I'll send another one."

Buzz!

Erlang Shen sent another ordinary red envelope. Chen Yang, who was already eager, quickly tapped the screen. Instantly, a message popped up: "Congratulations, you have received a bag of special dog food. It has been stored in the treasure box and can be extracted and used."

Huh!?

Dog food!?

Chen Yang opened the treasure box with a strange expression and read the description.

[Special Dog Food]

Description: A divine delicacy that any canine animal will love. Long-term feeding will have special effects.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Chen Yang extracted the special dog food. A brown paper bag appeared in his hand. Opening it, he saw it was full of small bone-shaped treats, emitting a magical aroma.

"Hmm... Since it's from Erlang Shen, this might be the special food for his dog, Xuantian. As a divine dog, it must be of high quality. When I have the chance, I'll try it on a Husky; maybe I can train one like Xuantian."

Laughing, Chen Yang was about to put the dog food away when he suddenly heard a bark. Looking down, he saw a small white Husky standing by his feet, wagging its tail and looking up at him with hopeful eyes, staring at the dog food in his hand.

"Wow, where did you come from, little guy?"

Chen Yang laughed bitterly, not knowing whose pet it was. Seeing the puppy's eager eyes, he couldn't bear to shoo it away. He took out a small bone and threw it to the Husky, which immediately caught it with its mouth and lay down to enjoy it.

Seeing that his meal was almost finished, Chen Yang picked up his tray and left, but the little Husky followed him, barking and wagging its tail.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Chen Yang's mouth twitched. The charm of the special dog food was really too strong. He threw another small bone, and as soon as the Husky lay down, he quickly left the cafeteria.

This special dog food was meant to train a Xuantian-like dog, and Chen Yang didn't want to give it all to this unknown Husky.

Taking advantage of the Husky's distraction with the food, Chen Yang returned to the dorm.

His roommate, Zhang Rui, was already back and about to turn on his computer to play a game. Seeing Chen Yang, he asked with a strange look, "Liu Yuan said you want to chase Li Yanran?"

"How could that be?" Chen Yang laughed bitterly.

Zhang Rui narrowed his eyes. "Did Lao Mao's words get to you, making you a bit delusional?"

"He's just talking nonsense!" Chen Yang pouted, sitting down and putting the dog food aside. "It's just a misunderstanding."

Just as he was speaking, the door opened, and Mao Shi and Liu Yuan returned from class. They looked at Chen Yang with strange expressions as soon as they closed the door.

Mao Shi chuckled. "Aren't you going to chase Li Yanran? Can you do it just by sitting in the dorm?"

"Joking, have you seen what kind of person Brother Yang is? So handsome, he doesn't need to chase anyone. Maybe Li Yanran will come to him soon."

Anyone could see that Chen Yang and Li Yanran were from two different worlds. One was a goddess adored by all, and the other was a typical poor guy. It was almost impossible for them to have any connection.

This wasn't a fairy tale; in reality, a toad wanting to eat a swan was simply impossible.

Chen Yang pouted, ignoring everyone's ridicule. He didn't bother to explain because, to them, explaining was just an excuse.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Just as everyone was about to tease Chen Yang further, a bark came from outside the door. Chen Yang was taken aback, and before he could react, Mao Shi opened the door. The little Husky he had seen earlier ran in happily, sat by Chen Yang's feet, looked up at him, wagged its tail, and stuck out its tongue, looking very cute.

"Huh, when did you get a puppy?"

Everyone was stunned. Liu Yuan reached out to pet the Husky, but it immediately dodged and ran under Chen Yang's chair. He said, "Wow, it's quite shy."

"This isn't mine..." Chen Yang laughed bitterly. "I met it in the cafeteria. I don't know who it belongs to, but it kept following me. I thought I had lost it, but it found me again."

"Is it that smart? It found you on its own?" Mao Shi squatted down, trying to pick up the Husky, but it suddenly turned aggressive and bit him.

Mao Shi quickly pulled his hand back, stepping back in shock. "Damn, so fierce?"

Zhang Rui glanced at the Husky and said, puzzled, "It's a female. Look, it has a small pink ball on its neck."

"I don't know. I'll post on the school forum and ask who it belongs to."

Chen Yang shrugged, took out another small bone from the special dog food bag, and placed it next to the Husky. The Husky immediately got excited and came out from under the chair to eat it.

"Huh!? When did you buy dog food?" Mao Shi asked, puzzled.

"Someone gave me a bag during a promotion." Chen Yang was prepared for this. "It's probably because of the dog food."

Liu Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Maybe it's the opposite attraction. This little female Husky has a crush on you, the single dog..."

Chen Yang's face turned black. "Brother, you're kidding!"

Everyone burst into laughter, finding it amusing. They started to play with the Husky, but it clearly recognized Chen Yang and would snarl at anyone else.

Seeing this, Chen Yang felt that the special dog food was working well, and he became more determined to train a fake Xuantian.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Just as everyone was playing with the Husky, there was another knock on the door. Mao Shi, who was closest to the door, opened it.

When the door opened, a beautiful figure stood in the doorway.

"Li Yanran!?"

Mao Shi asked instinctively. With her unforgettable beauty and curvaceous figure, who else could it be in the school?

Before everyone could react, Li Yanran, looking anxious, saw the Husky and immediately felt relieved. She walked into the dorm and picked up the Husky, saying with a sigh of relief, "Tiantian, I finally found you!"

Chen Yang rolled his eyes secretly. He could guess that the ordinary fate charm had taken effect...

What a cliché plot!
