Chapter 9

Chu Cheng didn’t know that the protagonist team had added a new member while he was resting. But he didn’t care much, there was no choice to violate this natural law. He might as well care about whether his hairstyle was ruined after waking up from a sleep.

Although he only took a nap for more than half an hour, Chu Cheng inexplicably felt like he had been sleeping for a long time. His body creaked when he moved, and those who didn’t know would think he was a bunch of old bones.

He stood up and twisted his shoulders, and his long hair fluttered with the swaying of his body. Chu Cheng rarely showed a childish expression, and pouted his lips.

"There is no regular live broadcast for 24 hours. Even idols are not as dedicated as me."

After secretly complaining, Chu Cheng changed into the Takalpine Flower leather suit again, and his facial change speed was a master. Chu Cheng, who had been stuck in the box for a long time, planned to go out for some fresh air and to meet Carl and his friends.

But apparently, some people didn't want him to do that. As soon as Chu Cheng opened the door, he bumped into a man head-on. He almost fell into his arms, but he managed to stabilize himself with his strong core.

The man was wearing a large magic robe that covered most of his face, leaving only his chin. He held a cloudy crystal ball in his hand, and his outfit was very consistent with the stereotype of a "magician".

Chu Cheng certainly didn't think it was a coincidence that he bumped into him in such a dress, so he simply stopped and crossed his arms to listen to what he could come up with. The man looked calm and composed, holding the crystal ball and mumbling something, almost hitting Chu

Cheng several times. Chu Cheng used a finger to push the crystal ball away from his face. The man was not angry, but laughed a few times, took the crystal ball back, and put it to his ear, as if listening. After a long time

, until Chu Cheng was about to finish a game of Go with the system, the man spoke the first sentence

, "I saw... above the clouds, falling, in the storm, reborn. I saw, an incredible variable... good luck to you..."

From the first word, Chu Cheng's smile froze on his face. No one told him that this guy was the real deal! Falling from the clouds, he died in a plane crash in his previous life. Reborn in the storm, he welcomed a new life in the blizzard of Ataco.

Chu Cheng looked at the somewhat crazy man with complicated eyes, pursed his lips, quickly adjusted his mood, and put on a smile,

"... fortune teller?"

The man shook his head, stretched out his index finger in front of his mouth, and put the crystal ball in his arms.

"I just saw some words, and I don't have any special abilities. Fate... is a wonderful thing."

Listening to the man's sigh like an ode, with an inexplicable fanaticism in his tone, Chu Cheng couldn't help touching the goose bumps on his arm

. "Fate... . . . . Chu

Cheng couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the mark on his chest. He could feel it was slightly hot through the bandage. The heat was transmitted to his fingers, and Chu Cheng subconsciously retracted his fingers. But he didn't know how pitiful he looked at this moment, with circles of bandages, just like a little canary that ran out of someone's pen

. At least that's what Carl and others saw. Seeing the fortune teller standing in front of Chu Cheng, Carl subconsciously thought that this person was greedy for Chu Cheng's beauty and came to provoke him. He was about to stride past, but he never thought that the fortune teller slipped away faster than them.

Carl, who was about to take a step forward, stopped. He was suddenly a little dazed, and annoyed himself for always wanting to rush in front of Chu Cheng, even though Chu Cheng could kill two of him with one hand.

Chu Cheng was still thinking about this fortune teller who suddenly appeared, but the system reminded him of the existence of Carl and others.

"Carl, Lima, is this your new friend?"

After a short rest, Chu Cheng's voice was not as clear as before, but a little lazy, hoarse, and sticky.

"Like acting coquettishly,"

Carl inexplicably popped up this idea in his mind, and then he shook his head in fear, trying to get rid of this idea, causing the people around him to look at Carl with strange eyes. Tatarina, on the other hand, praised Chu Cheng very frankly, so frankly that Chu Cheng even felt a little embarrassed.

"My name is Tatarina, you can call me Tata."

"You must be Lance! Your voice is so nice, are you a mermaid?"

"Your hair is so beautiful, is it natural?"

"Why are you wearing a bandage? I heard that you are very beautiful."

A series of questions were like cannonballs, wrapped in strong enthusiasm and frankness, which easily melted away the inexplicable stiffness between the few people. Hearing Tatarina praising Chu Cheng's beauty, Carl couldn't help but interrupt,

"Lance is really beautiful." Carl

smacked his lips, as if he felt that such compliments were too silly and not enough to describe one ten-thousandth of Chu Cheng's appearance. It was very strange. He clearly didn't agree with some of Chu Cheng's behaviors, but he could not hide the fact that he was attracted to Chu Cheng. Maybe this is the charm of the strong? Carl silently rejected the possibility that he was a face addict .

"He is the most beautiful... and handsome man I have ever seen."

Perhaps he thought that praising a man with the word "beautiful" might cause displeasure, so Carl quickly modified his wording and glanced at Chu Cheng with a guilty conscience.

As if afraid that Carl would get more and more confused, Lima sighed and said,

"Lance... he is indeed handsome, but because of this, he covers his face and has no other hidden diseases."

To be honest, hearing a group of people talking about their appearance in the corridor, although they were all positive words, it sounded awkward.

"Come in and talk. We're blocking the way in the corridor."

The three children immediately fell silent and followed Chu Cheng into the private room. Although the private room was not small, it was not very spacious after squeezing three grown men in it. However, no one dared to sit in the empty seat next to Chu Cheng. The three children were kneeling together, just like Chu Cheng's teacher scolding them.

"Why are you so nervous? I'm not going to eat people."

Chu Cheng found it a little funny. The system described him as a little chicken curled up in a ball.

"No, I just can't control my mouth when I see good-looking people. In order to avoid scaring you, I'd better say less."

Tatarina raised her arms and uttered some words that sounded like harassment with a serious face. But Chu Cheng found it interesting. He thought the girls in the protagonist team would be matched with a proud or weak type, but he didn't expect it to be a funny positioning.

"That man just now..."

Carl couldn't help but be curious and asked about what happened just now. Chu Cheng didn't hide it and told the three people everything.

"A fortune teller? I thought these things were all domesticated, not wild ones."

"... Could you please not make it sound like you have a chicken..."

"Ah, is that so? I'm sorry."

Tatalina and Lima answered in unison, leaving Carl alone with a confused look on his face.

"What is a fortune teller? Can he predict the future?"

At this moment, the difference between Carl, a child from Ataco, and children from other countries was revealed. There were some common sense things that Carl did not understand at all, and he had not even heard of them. Chu Cheng could not help but sigh softly.

"Almost. A fortune teller is nothing more than using some props to peek into the past and the future. But this is not certain, it's just a matter of probability, a possibility, not absolute."

Thanks to the system, Chu Cheng was able to read according to the encyclopedia. Tatarina added to what she said earlier

, "But most divination masters are raised by their families, and it's normal for them not to leave their homes. Wild... well, there are very few divination masters who work alone, and basically they will be caught as soon as they show up."

"So independent divination masters are either fake, or they are very strong, and others can't do anything to them,"

Lima concluded. Chu Cheng now understood why Lima and Tatarina were added to the team. It was just to make up for Carl, an illiterate man!

Whenever there is a problem, Karl can say "Woo woo woo, Doraemon, help me".

Especially the system thoughtfully photoshopped a picture for him, changing Doraemon's emoticon avatar to Lima's. The whole thing has a five-star index, which made Chu Cheng couldn't help but curl his lips.

But fortunately, the three people on the other side have completely fallen into the vicious circle of "Are you illiterate?!" and started to cram for Karl. But Tatarina and Lima's knowledge base is very different.

Lima knows the power distribution, political policies, etc. of various countries like the back of his hand, and can recite thousands of years of history by heart. Tatarina has a lot of experience with various alien races and monsters. Of course, Chu Cheng strongly suspects that this is all her offline Mortal Kombat experience.

But it must be said that in just a few hours of unwinding, the three people have unconsciously established a certain emotional connection and tacit understanding. This may be the mystery of the plot.

With the speed of the train and the fleeting scenery outside the window, the journey is about to reach the end. With it, the familiar prompt sound of the system
