Inside the office, An Ge looked at the portly old man sitting on the sofa, somewhat speechless. "Old Kang, what brings you to sit here today?"
That's right, the mysterious old man who is unknown to everyone has a name: Kang Yuan.
An Ge originally thought he was just an ordinary NPC, until one day someone offended him and was blacklisted by him in the arena. Only then did An Ge realize that this NPC also had his own thoughts, and even had more control over the arena than he did.
Since learning that Kang Yuan was a person with genuine feelings, An Ge had entrusted him with the management of the arena. Unless there were unavoidable circumstances, she would not easily interfere. This was the first time Kang Yuan had taken the initiative to approach her.
Kang Yuan took a sip of tea in a good mood. "It must be so tiring to guard the arena every day. I can only get such delicious tea outside."
An Ge rolled her eyes. Although she hadn't met Kang Yuan much, she was familiar with his style.
"I'm glad Grandpa Kang likes it. You can take this tin of tea home and drink it."
"I couldn't possibly accept that." She said this, but quickly put the tea leaves into her own space.
Perhaps it was because he had taken the tea leaves, but Kang Yuan's mood improved a bit. "Today I met a remarkable person. That kid's luck is truly one in a million."
An Ge opened her eyes wide with curiosity, "Could it be that some kind of divine weapon was drawn in the arena?" It was a pity that An Ge could not draw prizes in the arena, otherwise, with her current luck, she might be able to draw something good as well.
"Hehe, not only are they not divine weapons, but they've also drawn trash six times in a row. With such a low probability, wouldn't you say it's a once-in-a-century event?"
An Ge's lips twitched. "Drawing trash six times in a row from the arena prize pool is harder than drawing a divine weapon, isn't it?"
As far as she knew, while not everything in the arena was useful, she had never heard of anyone drawing trash.
"Who's so unlucky?" This is much more unlucky than when she drew the trash lottery ticket.
"I heard he's the leader of the Guiyi Sect, named Zhou, or what, oh right, Zhou Tianyi. I think his strength is nothing special, his luck is nothing special, and his character is even worse. He actually dared to take his anger out on me and even tried to attack me."
An Ge never expected that this once-in-a-century unlucky guy would actually be Zhou Tianyi.
“However, I don’t intend to blacklist him. I want to see who wins the duel between him and the Pavilion Master of Tianyin Pavilion.” Kang Yuan looked like he was looking forward to a good show.
"What challenge?"
Kang Yuan then recounted the story of their duel.
Good heavens, Zhou Tianyi has only been at the inn for one day and he has already caused such a sensation!
"Old Kang doesn't just want to see the result, does he?"
"Ahem, of course, there's also a little selfish motive involved. I'd like to see just how bad someone's luck really is?"
An Ge was speechless. If Zhou Tianyi knew that he was able to enter the arena because of this, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
"But I remember Mu Qing just advanced to the next level. Zhou Tianyi is, after all, the head of a sect. Wouldn't it be unfair to challenge her?"
"That's hard to say." Kang Yuan smiled mysteriously. "I think Zhou Tianyi is narrow-minded and arrogant, and he won't amount to anything. On the other hand, Mu Yatou, although she is not very talented, is hardworking."
"I'd like to activate the opinion mode then; perhaps it will inspire those in the martial arts world. It's been so long, and no one has yet advanced to Grandmaster; it's truly disappointing."
An Ge has been in this world for so long, but she hasn't even had a proper look at the battles between the locals yet.
"Since the arena is now in your responsibility, you can make the decisions yourself."
Kang Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Although the shopkeeper said that he would decide on matters concerning the arena, An Ge was the actual owner of the arena, and he still needed to be notified when necessary.
"By the way, I came to see you this time not only because of the arena. I found that Zhou Tianyi's luck is too special. Even if his luck is bad, it shouldn't be like this."
Seeing Kang Yuan's solemn expression, An Ge also became more vigilant. "You mean his luck has been altered? But I haven't heard of Zhou Tianyi having any bad luck before?"
In An Ge's opinion, Zhou Tianyi was not only not unlucky, but even somewhat lucky.
According to Hua Yue, if Zhou Tianyi hadn't been lucky enough to find a good wife, he might have disappeared from the martial arts world long ago.
Kang Yuan shook his head. "I just thought it was strange, so I told you. Of course, it's also possible that he's just unlucky."
After saying that, Kang Yuan, with his big belly, slowly left. "I'm going back to the arena now. Thank you for the tea, shopkeeper. Come visit the arena sometime when you have time."
An Ge stroked Xiao Qi's fur and asked, "Do you think there are beings in this world that steal other people's luck?"
Xiao Qi was almost asleep from An Ge's touch, but her mind cleared for a moment when she heard An Ge's question. "If it were a chosen one, maybe they would have such an ability. But if there really were such a chosen one, they wouldn't be unknown on the rankings."
"They can't just call it a 'smuggling system' outright, can they?"
Xiao Qi choked, "Master is right. Perhaps some deities have tools for stealing luck."
An Ge thought that the increased luck value meant that fortune could change, so the possibility of such an item existing was still very high.
“Master, don’t worry too much. With Xiao Qi here, if the other party tries to steal your luck, Xiao Qi will definitely find out. Besides, Master’s luck isn’t that great, so others probably won’t even look at you.”
"Ha, things are different now. I've transitioned from non-European to European, okay?"
Little Seven wisely shut its mouth; it probably wouldn't want to undermine its owner's confidence.
"Seriously, if Zhou Tianyi really did have his luck stolen, then he should be very unlucky in general. It can't just be reflected in the arena lottery, right?"
Xiao Qi proposed a hypothesis: "If he managed to conceal the theft from the Heavenly Dao, he might be affected to some extent, but the impact wouldn't be too significant."
An Ge thought about it more and more and felt that Xiao Qi's hypothesis made some sense. "If that's the case, things become complicated. The only one who can keep it from the Heavenly Dao of this place is the Chosen One. Could it be that I'm not the only Chosen One in this plane?"
The Chosen Ones do not belong to any particular small world and are not protected by the Heavenly Dao. Precisely because of this, once they clash with the chosen ones of their respective planes, the Chosen Ones, as outsiders, will naturally be punished by the Heavenly Dao.
At the same time, the chosen ones are not controlled by the Heavenly Dao of their respective planes, and can steal the fortune of others and deceive the heavens.
An Ge rubbed her forehead, looking exasperated. "It's all just our speculation. Let's just let Zhou Tianyi be until he does anything to harm the inn."
An Ge couldn't feel any sympathy for Zhou Tianyi's plight. That was for the best, at least Zhou Tianyi wouldn't get anything out of her.
