Chapter 246 It's Going to Rain
Dai Qiulin rarely carried out a mission with a girl, so he continued to chatter and look for new topics.
"Hey, do you believe in metaphysics? I follow an account called @CallMyDad, it's awesome."
Zheng Mengmeng really tilted her head to listen, and she also followed @CallMyDad.
Lu Zhenen and Yun Mo led the way, with Chen Ping beside him, about ten steps away from Dai Qiulin. The team was artificially split into two.
"What kind of metaphysics is that? It's all a lie," Chen Ping replied after hearing this.
"I'm not lying. I've forwarded the Wenchang Talisman and I passed all the exams!" Dai Qiulin was unconvinced.
He then called up the WB accounts of dozens of masters he followed, and listed the things that the masters were good at as if they were his treasures.
Chen Ping wanted to make trouble, but only by knowing both himself and his enemy could he divide the other side. When he saw that Zheng Mengmeng did not respond, he started chatting with Dai Qiulin, "This is all superstition."
"It's not superstition, it's based on facts."
"What factual basis is there? It's all nonsense. It's called psychological suggestion. Do you know the Cole effect? It's a kind of self-hypnosis," Chen Ping argued confidently.
"The truth is always hard to accept, but I have seen a fact: when a person shouted "lights on", the roadside lights turned on," Dai Qiulin said anxiously, his voice getting louder.
"It was just getting dark, or the lights were voice-controlled," Chen Ping continued to follow with a sarcastic tone.
"Damn..." Dai Qiulin rolled up his sleeves, feeling that this person was simply challenging his life pursuits, and he had to teach him a lesson today.
"I've also seen one where a man was walking on the road, and he looked up and said, 'Rain,' and it started to rain..." Dai Qiulin continued to give examples.
"Nonsense! He must have checked the weather forecast. If you dare, let me see it for myself. Seeing is believing..."
Dai Qiulin's face flushed and his neck thickened. He stopped and pointed at him, his lips trembling, not knowing what to say.
He was so angry! This person was simply here to sabotage us!
Chen Ping's eyes slanted to the side, showing no remorse for his actions.
At this moment, the two people in front stopped.
Yun Mo and Lu Zhenen looked up at the same time, "It's going to rain!"
As they said this, lightning and thunder flashed in the sky, and raindrops as big as beans fell with a crackling sound.
Dai Qiulin: ...
Chen Ping: ...
Zheng Mengmeng: ...
It’s not scary if it rains in the jungle, but they are close to the river, and if it rains heavily, the water level will easily rise, which will not be beautiful.
The five people pulled out their rain gear, wrapped themselves tightly, and quickly rushed to a place where they could shelter from the rain.
Under a huge broad-leaved tree, Chen Ping's little eyes twinkled, looking at this and that.
The rain was still dripping down. Chen Ping finally couldn't help but stare at Lu Zhenen and ask, "How did you know it was going to rain?"
"I'll watch," Lu Zhenen said.
"What are you looking at?" Chen Ping asked.
Lu Zhenen looked up and pointed at a corner of the sky that was visible between the branches and leaves. "Just now there were cumulus clouds, fish-scale sky, and even though it wasn't raining, the wind was strong."
Chen Ping crossed his arms over his chest, finally feeling somewhat relieved. Unwillingly, he turned to Yun Mo and asked, "You noticed that too?"
Yun Mo was bending down to tuck in her trouser legs again, and said slowly, "I can count!"
"What's that?" Chen Ping asked.
Yun Mo spread out his palm, with three coins facing up. "Qian below Kan above, the Water Heaven hexagram needs water. Yin Wood moves to form a three-way fire combination. Wu Sun clashes with the changing hexagram, the first line is Zi Water. The parents are prosperous and strong, so it will rain."
Chen Ping gritted his teeth. Her determined expression and tone, the language spoken in a language that sounded like something from an unknown planet, and the rain and fog that were already a fait accompli in front of him, almost shook his faith.
No! Hold on! He is a staunch interstellar materialist!
Especially since he is also shouldering the century-long mission of causing trouble!
Lu Zhenen looked at Yun Mo a few more times, "Calculated? What's the algorithm?"
"Counting on my fingers, do you want to ask?" Yun Mo touched the handle of the pot behind him, thinking that maybe he could open the business from a different angle.
Lu Zhenen was determined. He let out a breath and shook his head.
Ask about the future? Ask about destiny? Can you win easily after asking? If not, why bother asking? The road is right under your feet.
Seeing that Lu Zhenen didn't say anything, Chen Ping took over the topic and asked, "How about you calculate it for me?"
"You want to ask?" Yun Mo said.
"No?" Chen Ping felt a little scared when he saw her, thinking that maybe he had done something stupid.
"Okay, eight hundred star coins for one question," Yun Mo quickly brought up the payment page, "I've said it before, we're destined to be together, and I'm just the one with the destiny."
Chen Ping: ...Wu Jin paid him 800 star coins for the activity expenses.
On one side, there was a torrential downpour and boredom, and on the other side, Dai Qiulin was eager to cut in line. In a fit of rage, Chen Ping transferred 800 to Yun Mo.
"Then calculate it for me."
"Just say it casually?" Yun Mo asked.
Chen Ping was almost stunned. "Then just tell me what you want to say."
"Oh, you are an undercover agent, and you are here to cause trouble today."
After Yunmo finished speaking, she calmly put down her sleeves and covered the payment page. The goods had been received and the transaction was completed.
Chen Ping: ...My balls hurt!
As expected, one must firmly uphold the belief in materialism and not waver! Because of this wavering, someone cheated him out of 800 star coins!
Zheng Mengmeng was almost laughing so hard in the back that she kept hitting Dai Qiulin.
"Ahem," Chen Ping felt a little embarrassed. He looked around, not knowing what to say.
Yun Mo raised her right hand and placed it on his shoulder. "You know the Federation's policy towards prisoners: leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist. Young man, listen to me carefully. If we don't succeed, I guarantee you'll fail first."
Yun Mo's words were not harsh at all, but Chen Ping broke out in a sweat. It turned out that he was the stupidest one, as others had already set up a trap.
"I understand." Chen Ping nodded helplessly. What other choice did he have? Even though he was messing around, he still cared about his grades.
"Let's go", the rain has stopped, it's time to continue.
The four of them were talking and laughing, so Chen Ping had no choice but to follow them dejectedly.
It seemed like we had walked a long way and there was a sentry post ahead. The instructors had done quite a lot of preparation for this jungle assessment.
How to go becomes a new problem.
“There are two paths now.
First, take a detour. You probably won’t encounter many students along the way, but you might encounter wild animals or something.
Second, walk in a straight line. However, this way, the probability of encountering students is more than 80%, and the advantage is that it saves time and effort.
Lu Zhenen spoke more today and quickly analyzed the situation.
"What do you mean?" Yun Mo had an idea, but after all, they were a team, and she couldn't let the people who followed her lose the ability to think for themselves.
"Go in a straight line," Dai Qiulin thought for a moment and suggested while scratching his head.
"Why?" Zheng Mengmeng looked at him. She was really not cut out for this.
"It's because of the information," Lu Zhenen raised his eyes. He always felt very casual when he was with these people, as if he could say anything.
"Ah?" Zheng Mengmeng waited for him to explain.
Chen Ping also thought of this, but he didn't say anything. It was probably because even if he did say something, it wouldn't have much impact.
"We only have one codebreaker, and we haven't found any clues so far. The instructor said he would stop our mission, but so far there has been no resistance.
That is, we haven't yet touched the boundary enough for them to appear.
The instructor emphasized twice that we cannot cooperate, and we should take his words the other way around. Not cooperating does not mean we won’t meet.”
"There are no new clues along the way. I infer that the clues are most likely among other students."
"That's right," Yun Mo agreed.
