"You feel that you're always just missing that last bit of luck, so your mindset started to change. You started trying to make up for that lack of luck through crooked means and ways to change your fate, right?"
Upon hearing this, Gray Fruit's eyes welled up with tears.
"Why? I'm always just a little short. I have so many opportunities around me, and I work so hard, but God just won't give me a chance to succeed. This is not fair to me!"
As Gray Fruit spoke, his eyes turned red, and he exuded resentment.
Bai Xi: "So you sought help from masters to change your luck, but they were all unwilling to help you, right?"
The gray fruit paused for a moment, then nodded.
He said angrily, "I can give them money, lots of money, why won't they help me change it?"
Bai Xi paused for a moment, then said, "You have a lot of karmic debts on your body."
Gray Fruit paused, a sudden panic gripping him. "...I didn't."
Bai Xi, “Because you are frustrated and unsuccessful, you have accumulated a lot of resentment in your heart. When you see the success of others, especially the success of the people around you, your heart gradually becomes twisted and you develop a jealous mentality.”
Gray Fruit denied it, saying, "I didn't."
Bai Xi, "That friend who didn't do as well as you in school, that friend who didn't achieve as much as you after graduation, that friend who has been inferior to you in everything since childhood."
“After you failed time and time again, he succeeded, and you saw that he was doing better than you, so you started to feel unbalanced.”
After hearing this, Gray Fruit revealed its true colors and roared angrily.
"So what? What makes him think he's doing better than me?"
“From a young age, I was the genius praised by all the neighbors. I was good at studying, won countless awards in school, and entered the best company after graduation. Why was he able to surpass me and do better than me in the end!”
Bai Xi, "So you deliberately framed and slandered him, spreading rumors about him all over the internet, saying that he was a gambler and womanizer, making it impossible for him to stay at the company, forcing him to resign, causing his family to break up, and ultimately ending in divorce?"
With her pretense of modesty ripped away, Gray Fruit murmured, "...I didn't want it to be like this either, but he insisted on showing off in front of me, and I couldn't control myself, I just couldn't control myself."
"How can someone who was always inferior to me since childhood have such a successful career and a happy family? It's not fair!"
Bai Xi said, “Everyone’s luck is the result of good deeds accumulated over several lifetimes. However, in your past life, in order to gain greater benefits and become a superior person, you borrowed luck to get what you wanted. This is equivalent to using up your future luck in advance, which is why you are always a little short no matter what you do in this life.”
Gray Fruit, "Impossible!"
Bai Xi: "Okay, I'll give you a chance to start over."
Gray Fruit was stunned, not yet reacting. "What?"
The viewers quickly understood the host's intention.
Wow, is the streamer finally going to show us something different?
[I finally received the talisman paper; I can finally look at it.]
Before Gray Fruit could even comprehend what was happening, he found himself in a different space, his surroundings changed.
The streets were filled with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares.
Gray Fruit noticed that the people in front of him were all wearing different clothes.
It resembles a long gown from the Republican era.
Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the clothes I was wearing had also changed.
He was dressed in Western-style clothing from the Republican era, which indicated his status as a wealthy man.
He was puzzled.
But everything before my eyes felt so real.
At that moment, a fortune-telling stall appeared in front of him.
"Boss, do you want to change your luck?"
A middle-aged man in a gray robe sat at the stall, his eyes revealing a shrewdness.
The gray fruit stopped in its tracks.
He couldn't help but ask, "Can this really be achieved simply by changing one's luck?"
The fortune teller nodded. "I know what the boss is thinking. You want to be a superior person, with everyone groveling at your feet."
After hearing this, Gray Fruit's mind was filled with endless fantasies.
I asked again, "Can you really help me change my luck?"
"Of course. Boss, think about all those people who bullied you and hurt you. Don't you want to trample them all under your feet?"
As if bewitched by the other party, excitement flashed in the gray fruit's eyes.
He immediately agreed, "Okay."
He thought of his repeated business failures, the disappointed looks his parents gave him in the end, and the strange looks from his neighbors.
He needs an opportunity, a chance to succeed.
What fortune tellers mean by "changing one's luck" is actually helping someone borrow luck, borrowing their own future fortune.
After the master helped him change his luck, Gray Fruit saw his brilliant half of life leading to the pinnacle of success.
He is the top leader here, in charge of thousands of people, surrounded by beautiful women, living in a mansion, and owning businesses throughout the city.
Just as he was feeling smug and sighing to the heavens...
Suddenly, the bugle call of war sounded.
The Japanese army stormed in and destroyed the entire city.
He watched as his business empire crumbled, his associates fled or were killed, and the gold and silver treasures in his mansion were looted by the Japanese army.
He stared wide-eyed and shouted, "No!"
A raging fire broke out in the mansion, and he sat in the living room, becoming one with the flames.
Then, the scene around the gray fruit immediately changed again.
He looked around and realized he was back in his original rented room, where the live streamer was sitting in front of him.
He was startled.
I'm awake now.
"I...I just now?"
Bai Xi said calmly, "You see, even though I told you the outcome in advance, you still chose the original path without hesitation."
He opened his eyes wide.
Comment: [So that's what the streamer meant.]
[This is a scene from the show where the host is reliving a past life where he made a choice; he's still choosing to change his fate.]
Even in this life, he still longs to find someone to change his fate.
Upon seeing this comment, Gray Fruit roared, "So what? I don't even remember my next life, why should I care about it?"
Bai Xi said, "You said the same thing in your previous life."
The gray fruit immediately fell silent.
Comment: [So he used his luck to enjoy life to the fullest by borrowing time from others?]
[It should be half a lifetime, because later their house was completely looted by the Japanese army, right?]
He deserved it. Although he became rich and powerful, he also abused his power and bullied others. In his past life, he had many lives on his hands.
[He was such a jerk in his past life, he really ruined his life.]
If given the choice again, he would still choose the old path.
He's still thinking about changing his luck.
If he had done more good deeds in this life to make up for his bad luck, things would have been much better. But instead, he keeps squandering his own good fortune.
