In the classroom, Chu Qianli sat by the window flipping through a book happily, while Tan Muxing lowered her head and sewed something seriously.

Because the astrology apprentice was not on campus to solicit customers recently, the two of them had a rare chance to enjoy their lunch break, and the stall was not as popular as when it first opened.

People have a limit to their sense of novelty. When people first meet, they want to come back frequently, but once the problems are solved, they will stop coming back. This is a normal cycle.

"Teacher, someone sent me a message! The video has attracted business!" Qiu Qingkong checked the background message and immediately came to report excitedly. She glanced at the two people who were so quiet, "What are you doing?"

Tan Muxing held the bag in his hand, and he answered honestly, "She wants to sew stars on the bag that holds the tarot cards."

Qiu Qingkong looked curious: "Could it be possible to improve the accuracy by sewing stars on it?"

"Yes." Chu Qianli said confidently, "I feel better when I see the embroidered stars, so the accuracy rate has improved."

Qiu Qingkong: “?”

Chu Qianli tilted his head and whispered, "I didn't expect him to make the gloves so quickly..."

Chu Qianli originally thought that Tan Muxing would take a long time to make, but unexpectedly he handed in the finished product very quickly. She thought it was necessary to assign new homework to her deskmate. It was impossible to take a break. No matter how quickly the work was completed, there would be new work.

Qiu Qingkong found Chu Qianli reading a book and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What are you reading? A book on astrology?"

Chu Qianli seemed to have no affinity with studying. It was very unusual for her to be willing to flip through the book on her own initiative, so naturally Qiu Qingkong mistook it for an astrology book.

Chu Qianli held up the book, showed the cover, and praised: "No, this is a masterpiece from the past."

Qiu Qingkong took a closer look and found that the book was Das Kapital.

Tan Muxing said weakly, "Why do I feel that this book is revealing the truth about capitalism, but you learned from it how capitalists exploit others?"

The more Tan Muxing thought about it, the more he felt something was not right. After he finished making the gloves, he was assigned to sew bags. If he thought about it carefully, there seemed to be no end to the matter.

"Aha." Chu Qianli pretended not to hear, she immediately changed the subject and looked at Qiu Qingkong, "What did you want to say just now?"

Qiu Qingkong: "Someone sent me a message saying that the video was so accurate and even mysterious!"

Qiu Qingkong vividly talked about how Zhou Qi watched the video and got four pieces of good news. The astrology apprentice's initial submission was recognized, and he couldn't wait to share it with his companions.

Chu Qianli was stunned after hearing this, and said in surprise: "It must be fake."

Qiu Qingkong: "How come?"

Chu Qianli was skeptical and said solemnly, "You should tell her that I am a serious astrologer, not just a astrologer. I have always been the only one who fools others. She is a big liar!"

Chu Qianli didn't quite believe Zhou Qian's story. She was predicting fortunes, not changing them on the spot.

The accuracy of the public's account grabbing is not as high as that of private account grabbing, so this incident sounds full of loopholes and unbelievable.

Tan Muxing: "...Are serious astrologers and big liars equal?"

Qiu Qingkong hesitated and said, "How can it be fake? She even wants to take advantage of the teacher privately."

Chu Qianli hesitated and tested: "Is she an adult?"

Qiu Qingkong: "They said they were looking for a job, so they must be adults."

"This is someone I met online. Who knows if what he said is true or not?" Chu Qianli threw the astrology dice casually. She swiped the dice and was surprised to see the result. "Oh, he is not a liar."

Qiu Qingkong saw her using the dice to verify the result and asked curiously, "Didn't we also share the spoils with our classmates before? We were all minors."

"That's different. We share horoscopes face to face and we may bump into each other later. People online just chat for a few words and then disperse. Who knows if she will contact you again." Chu Qianli explained, "Some astrologers refuse to read the horoscopes of minors online, mainly because they are afraid of not being able to take responsibility."

"Why?"

“People are growing up. Knowing advanced information before you are ready is not good, and it may even produce bad psychological implications. The horoscope is not fixed game data. It is more like flowing water. It can have trends, but it will not stop.”

Chu Qianli gave an example: "It's like using Baidu to check for a doctor. If you don't understand, you just search blindly, or if you encounter an unskilled fortune teller, you will be scared out of your wits after listening to him."

In numerology, belief and disbelief are one thing, and belief and superstition are another.

Humans are strong yet fragile creatures. They are strong enough that the human group can always find a way to survive in times of crisis, but they are fragile enough that an individual will go astray if misled.

Chu Qianli didn't dare to tell fortunes for Zhou Qi because what the other party said was too weird. She thought it was inappropriate to guide her in this state. People should have the ability to distinguish before telling fortunes. It is very dangerous to be completely confused and rely on fortune tellers.

Tan Muxing was startled: "Bad psychological suggestion?"

"Yes, some fortune tellers leave it to the parents to tell the fortunes of their children, mainly because the children don't understand what they say." Chu Qianli warned with a smile, "Also, it is very dangerous to hand over your horoscope information casually. If you really meet someone who is capable and wants to harm you, it is easy for them to control you."

"This is what it means to be manipulated by others, so it is important to find a reliable fortune teller."

Qiu Qingkong was stunned: "Is it that exaggerated? But it's okay for me to tell you the astrolabe, right?"

Chu Qianli smiled and said, "How do you know that you are not controlled by me?"

Qiu Qingkong: “???”

Tan Muxing lowered his head and continued to sew the bag for the astrologer. He muttered softly, "No, I think I feel it..."

He always felt that after sewing the bags, there would be other things to do, perhaps more difficult needs, which had been completely controlled.

In the dormitory, Zhou Qi received a reply from the UP host "Magic Card Girl Squad". The fortune teller agreed to help her with private fortune-telling, but asked her to prove that she was a sane adult first.

Zhou Qi: “?” What kind of outrageous request is this?

The Cardcaptor Girls team tactfully stated that they thought Zhou Qiang's case was too coincidental. It could be that the video had low clicks but not too mixed energy, or it could be that Zhou Qiang's birth chart had the right degree, and she happened to be the group most affected by this wave of astronomical phenomena. It could also be that Zhou Qiang had submitted too many resumes in the early stages, and as soon as her luck came, she had a lot of news.

Not long after, the Cardcaptor Squad sent another message: [To be honest with you, although my astrology is very accurate, I am a Marxist believer.]

Zhou Qi: “…”

Zhou Qi understood after reading it.

Others suspected that the fortune teller was a liar, but she was suspected by the fortune teller of having a problem with her brain, and was taught not to get carried away and engage in feudal superstition.

Zhou Qi was both angry and amused, but she couldn't get angry with the fortune teller because what he said was right!

[I can prove that I am an adult, but how can I prove that I am conscious? Should I go to the hospital to get a certificate?]

[I am Qin Shi Huang, I am not dead. I have 30,000 tons of gold and 3 million Qin soldiers in Xi'an. As long as you transfer 20,000 yuan to xxxxxxxx to send me home, I will let you lead the three armies!]

[…Are you crazy? How come you have 27,000 tons more gold than the online scammers?]

Zhou Qi was stunned. The internet joke was about 3,000 tons of gold, but the other party actually said 30,000 tons, which was exactly zero for inflation.

[Congratulations, you have proven yourself to be sane. Even if you dream, you should dream a huge one.]

[……]

Zhou Qi was indeed very excited at first, but after being manipulated by the owner, she gradually calmed down and was able to look at the problem rationally. She erased the important information on her student page, sent it to the other party to prove that she was an adult, and then described the incident.

Master Zhan suggested communicating with Zhou Qi via voice, as it would be more convenient to exchange some information.

Zhou Qian did not refuse. She added the other party's business number and heard the voice in the video after the call was connected.

"Are you hesitating now which one to choose?"

Zhou Qi said quickly, "Yes, mainly because of the interview schedule conflict. I might choose one to go for the interview. If I don't pass in the end, I won't have any other chances..."

"I understand. You tell me about the four jobs and we'll use the Tarot card deck to pick the best one."

Zhou Qi heard the shuffling sound coming from the other end and asked curiously, "Is it about choosing the subsequent results of each job?"

Zhou Qian often watches fortune-telling videos and has some knowledge of Tarot card layouts. She chooses a card layout that first describes the current situation and then extends four forked lines to tell the person asking the question the consequences and future developments of each choice.

"Yes, you can tell me some numbers at random, and after I finish drawing the cards, I will give you the cards and the array for you to interpret."

Zhou Qi did as she was told and soon received the photo. It was indeed four rows of cards with a Status Card at the bottom. The Tarot cards were arranged like tree trunks and branches.

"The Status Quo card is the inverted Queen of Swords. You want to improve yourself but you are very anxious. You always doubt your ability and are trapped by the bad situation in the past. This card reminds you to think carefully and be rational again in order to achieve success."

Zhou Qi was stunned: "Yes, I didn't get any interview information recently. I was in a very bad state. I was almost depressed..."

The fortune teller replied perfunctorily: "Yeah, it does sound very anxious to use my video as a means of worshipping Buddha."

Zhou Qi: "...No, we have just verified that I am sane!"

Zhou Qi always felt that the picker was serious but a little silly. He didn't look like a mysterious master.

"For my first job, I have the Tower upright and the Ace of Pentacles reversed. The combination of these two cards means that you will not have much money. You can go for an interview if you have time, and then ask about the future salary. I estimate that the result will not be good."

Zhou Qi: "Ah, I seem to have heard that a senior said that this company doesn't treat employees well..."

"The fourth job is the Four of Pentacles and the Three of Wands in reverse. You may have a stable income, but there is not much prospect for future development. You may regret your past decisions."

Zhou Qian: "My roommate introduced me to this. She told me that it's OK for making some money, but there's not much room for improvement."

"Okay, let's focus on the remaining two jobs. The second job is Devil and the Ten of Pentacles, and the third job is Justice and the Six of Wands. If we only look at career luck, both have their merits."

The fortune teller smiled and said, "Everyone is afraid of the Devil card, but it's okay when it appears at work, mainly because it clearly points to worldly desires, which is money."

"If you have this job, you will have enough money, but the interview and work pressure will be very high. You will always feel that you can't do well. But in the end, you will succeed and have material wealth, but you will also feel spiritually empty."

Zhou Qi said awkwardly: "The second one was an interview with a big factory, and my resume was indeed a little lacking."

Zhou Qi only told the type of job as a fortune teller, but did not mention the specific company name. Logically, the other party would not have guessed that it was a large factory. She was unsure about this interview, mainly because large factories have too many requirements, but the salary is also really high.

"Then you have to prepare as hard as you can. I guess the interview won't be easy." The fortune teller continued, "The third job has a Justice card, which means your previous efforts have been treated fairly. It is also paired with a Six of Wands. This job doesn't pay as much as the second one, but you will have some success and joy. You feel that you have been promoted through hard work, and you feel confident and satisfied."

"Because I like the third company." Zhou Qian asked quickly, "Then which one should I choose? The second or the third one?"

The fortune teller said leisurely, "It depends on you. I can't help you choose."

"well?"

"If you like money, choose the second one; if you like a sense of achievement, choose the third one. The key is your own thinking."

The fortune teller added, "I can also give you a comprehensive interpretation of this set of cards. This set of cards tells you that all the good results are the result of your previous efforts. It has nothing to do with the fortune-telling video. You are not as bad as you think."

Zhou Qi covered her mouth on the spot: "My goodness, my defense is broken, I'm going to cry out loud..."

Zhou Qi recently suspected that she was a waste, otherwise she would not be so crazy as to look for someone to take her away. It was all because it was too dark recently.

She didn't know what went wrong. It's not like she didn't try hard, so why did her resume fall into the sea of ​​responses?

She watched the radish-sucking video because life was so bitter and she needed a little sweetness to keep going.

She was about to freeze to death and wanted to find the spark.

"Whether you're telling the truth or just saying nice things to encourage me..." Zhou Qi calmed down her fragile emotions and said softly, "...I understand."

Digger: "Of course it's true. I am a Marxist. Seeking truth from facts is the essence of Marxism."

Zhou Qi: "...There's no need to emphasize this. I already suspect that you're enforcing the law by taking the leeks. Could it be that you're specifically arresting people who practice feudal superstition?"

Zhou Qi felt that the fortune teller across from her was dead.

Others who engage in root fortune-telling are afraid that the person asking the question will not believe it, while others who engage in root fortune-telling are afraid that the person asking the question will believe it too much, and they can't wait to give a little Marxist education on the spot.

Zhou Qi probed: "Then can I ask, if I choose the third job, how long will it take for my income to surpass the second job?"

"Wait a moment, let me see...at least three years, it depends on your hard work."

"Oh, it's quite a long time." Zhou Qi smiled and said, "You all want to take some feedback, right? Then I can give you feedback in three years."

"Three years?" The fortune teller was silent for a rare moment, "...That's fine too."

Zhou Qi suddenly had an idea and suggested, "By the way, don't you fortune tellers sell amulets, luck-changing crystals, etc.? Do you have any business in this area?"

The fortune teller said helplessly: "I don't sell goods or perform rituals. You are so old and still doing this. I'll buy you a Balala Magic Wand."

Zhou Qi: “…” My goodness, I clearly want to support your business, but I’m being ridiculed again.

Zhou Qi had a good impression of the unknown fortune teller. She actually didn't believe in fortune-telling crystals and just wanted to increase his income. But in the end, she only paid the fortune-telling fee and was frantically reminded not to come for fortune-telling unless necessary.

"Do I look like someone who would be fooled by superstition?" Zhou Qi asked tangledly, "What I'm telling you is not a story but a true story!"

She did receive four messages for watching one video, but the other party insisted that it was just a coincidence.

The fortune teller: "Okay, no problem. I'll hang up now. I also need to get ready for my afternoon class."

Zhou Qi: “?”

Zhou Qi asked in confusion: "Are you still a college student?"

Zhou Qi felt that the fortune teller spoke in a very logical way. She also thought that the fortune teller was someone with some experience, as he was afraid that she might be misled. However, she did not expect that he was also a student.

The fortune teller: "No, he's a high school student."

Zhou Qi: “???”

Zhou Qi was so angry that she laughed: "You, a minor, are asking me, an adult, to prove that I am not a minor!?"

Obviously, the fortune teller is the one who is blocked by the anti-addiction system when playing "Honor of Kings"!

Chu Qianli hesitated and said, "Ah, the main thing is that you don't look like an adult when you are drunk..."

After listening to Zhou Qi's story, Chu Qianli felt that she was not very rational.

Zhou Qi was heartbroken.

She was actually being taught a lesson by a sister who was a robber, and she even wanted to buy her the Balala Magic Wand. If she thought about it carefully, it was so embarrassing that she could dig out a magic castle with her toes.

Zhou Qian was so embarrassed that she got angry: "Call me sister! I'm several years older than you, you should call me sister!"

She wasn't really angry, because the fortune teller had solved the problem, but it was a bit embarrassing to think about it.

Chu Qianli: “?”

Chu Qianli said obediently: "Goodbye, sister. Don't take advantage of others casually in the future. You can never guess which little sister is on the other end of the Internet."

After Chu Qianli finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Zhou Qi: “…………”
