Chu Qianli faced the closed bedroom door. She stood quietly outside the door for a long time before slowly wandering back into the room.
After washing up, Chu Qianli checked the time on her phone and suddenly remembered that she had been stargazing all night. Now she could do her daily fortune telling. She sat at the desk and shuffled the cards quickly, still the same questions that hadn't changed in years.
If a person wants to change his fate, he needs the right time, just like the fork in the road when He Shichen left home. If Chu Qianli wants to change his fate, he must wait until his own opportunity comes. It is useless to worry before that.
The answer given by the combination of cards on the table has not changed.
Chu Qianli sat cross-legged on the chair, complaining helplessly: "You really can't operate unless you are exhausted. You have to wait until there is not much time left."
Chu Qianli reached out to unlock her phone and found that the divination plate was still on, along with He Shichen's astrolabe.
She casually switched to her own horoscope and began to ponder over it in conjunction with the celestial chart.
How many years are left? Two years? Three years?
She didn't live past the age of twenty in her previous life, so maybe she could live a little longer in this one, since she had been following her grandfather around to have her fortune told for the previous seventeen years.
Chu Qianli is extremely gifted in astrology. Generally speaking, people with strong energy in the eighth and twelve houses tend to be good at metaphysics, spiritualism and other things.
However, any ability has another side, just like the five disadvantages and three deficiencies in numerology, an overly strong eighth house may manifest itself in a bad way, such as a short life.
Chu Qianli didn't know the ending of the female supporting role in the original book, but she knew that she had never lived a long life. Once is new, twice is familiar. She had a short life in her previous life, and now she is used to it.
This is not giving up on yourself. Don't worry about the good cards you haven't touched before. The key is to think about how to play the existing cards well.
She gained a lot through her astrological ability, but it was also this ability that wanted to kill her. This was her life test.
She must continue to use this ability and delve into more advanced content until the energy released by astrology exceeds her natural talent, otherwise she will not be able to escape the fateful point.
The eighth house is the house of transformation, which is related to karma. It is either the karma brought by metaphysics or the karma brought by life and death. It always has to be manifested in some form.
Although she failed to overcome the tribulation in her previous life, she still firmly believed that fate could be changed. She no longer needed to compete with her peers, her only opponent was fate itself.
Compared to the brilliance of stars, human life span is like a fleeting firework. Even the existence of human groups is so short, but we still want to dance wildly before burning out. As long as she is not extinguished, she will continue to dance.
If she is lucky enough to win, her life will be perfect.
If she unfortunately loses, there is no regret, she can afford to lose.
Other people's life span is no more than a hundred years, her life span is just shorter than others, which doesn't mean that she lived a bad life.
The He family is a family with few descendants, as can be seen from the fact that He Yuanyang has never married. Chu Qianli is now uncertain about her future, so she wants to keep He Shichen as insurance.
Grandpa can understand these things, but parents may not understand. She has an open mind, but she still has to consider her family.
The sun rises and the moon sets, and everything goes on in a cycle.
The morning light gently poured into the house. Chu Qianli put on her school uniform and carried her schoolbag. She smoothed her long hair in front of the mirror and began to greet the new day with joy.
"Good morning, little short-lived ghost."
In the classroom, Chu Qianli lay listlessly on the table, too sleepy to open her eyes, and felt dizzy. She was full of energy when she just got up, but she started to languish when she came to the classroom. It was probably the aftereffect of staying up late.
Tan Muxing asked curiously, "You seem particularly sleepy today?"
"I went outside to stargaze last night." Chu Qianli rubbed his eyes dizzily and couldn't help but want to close his eyes for a while.
"Stargazing? Is it nice?"
"Look! Air!"
“…”
Qiu Qingkong came over and showed the screen of her mobile phone proudly, showing off the video data to the two of them: "Dangdang! Check out the latest number of views of our video!"
Chu Qianli squinted her eyes sleepily: "Take a look for me."
Tan Muxing reported honestly: "How many times has the number of hits increased?"
Chu Qianli: “I have read it.”
"..." Qiu Qingkong pulled Chu Qianli in dissatisfaction when he saw this, "Teacher, please take a look! Just take a look!"
Chu Qianli forced herself to cheer up. She stared at the video data for a while, then lay down again and said perfunctorily: "Yeah, I've seen it. You're great."
Qiu Qingkong: “?” This is really a foolish thing to learn?
Seeing that Qiu Qingkong was about to pull his deskmate in again, Tan Muxing quickly stepped in to act as a peacemaker and asked, "Why did the number of clicks suddenly increase?"
Qiu Qingkong said proudly: "Because I have excellent publicity ability!"
Tan Muxing: "But I remember that the click rate was not high at the beginning?"
Qiu Qingkong: "The stock price rose too slowly in the past two days. I was tired of refreshing it. I just asked you for funds and bought a promotion directly."
She took away most of Chu Qianli's income, and some of it was left in Tan Muxing's hands for publicity and related production, such as printing of bills.
Qiu Qingkong loves making videos, but the number of followers on her new account is as slow as a snail. She got angry and used the old domestic entertainment marketing tactics and spent money to promote her videos.
Chu Qianli raised his eyes and said, "This is not called publicity ability, this is called money ability, money of money."
"Of course it's the ability to promote. I've seen famous fortune tellers on a certain website do this. They also manage their Weibo and public accounts. If they go a little further, they'll open a store to sell things." Qiu Qingkong argued, "We have enough professional qualities. We don't sell goods or promote them. What's the point of buying some promotions?"
Qiu Qingkong often refreshes the video of a certain website. She thinks that the three of them are not doing it for money. Chu Qianli said that he loves money, but the actual charges are not high. Last time, he did not ask Zhou Qi for much money.
Qiu Qingkong was just interested in it, and he liked mysticism before he met Chu Qianli. Tan Muxing was even more ruthless, he didn't believe in it, and was just a sidekick.
"Many people say that our videos are so accurate, as accurate as private robbing!" Qiu Qingkong said excitedly, "We just bought some promotional materials at the beginning, but as we have more viewers, we won't need these anymore."
Qiu Qingkong works with passion, and now that there are more and more audiences, he is particularly interested in creation.
Not only did she urge Chu Qianli to record the next video, she also pushed the private apprehended person who had recently come to her door away, and hoped that Tan Muxing could come up with a new promotional picture.
Chu Qianli has never lacked work to occupy leeches since coming to the city, mainly because Qiu Qingkong has strong publicity ability.
Chu Qianli would charge a fee and get feedback at most after taking the divination, but Qiu Qingkong was different. She made friends through the divination videos and got to know all kinds of people who shared the same interests in the occult.
Qiu Qingkong likes to spread information and make friends, which is the way her horoscope expresses energy. Although Chu Qianli already knew this, she still felt emotional after experiencing it in practice.
Chu Qianli: "No wonder many companies like to hire celebrity chasers."
Tan Muxing: "What?"
"Generating electricity for love is more risky than generating electricity for money."
“…”
The theme of the new video by UP host Magic Card Girl Team is "How is your fortune in the past month?" In addition, Chu Qianli has gained a certain degree of fame by occupying other people's property online, so the number of barrages on the new video has increased a lot, and there are also discussions in the comment section.
[Get good luck! ! ]
[This issue and the previous issue are both very accurate. I suggest you make the positive characteristics in the next issue~]
[The apprentice said last time that he would not do it for the time being, as if the teacher felt that the people who have been doing it for a long time are not taking the right amount of time.]
[Are there two people managing this account?]
[Three, I remember there was one who took a video.]
[If you want to know your true love, you can privately ask for it, but you have to be an adult to read the horoscope. The teacher's price is very reasonable! You can also get a discount with a student card! ]
[u1s1, the price is low and accurate. I have consulted many people for fortune-telling. This UP is really capable. But if you always consult her for fortune-telling, you will be hurt. They will say you are addicted or superstitious. It makes me cry.]
[Teacher is the eternal god! His words are also interesting!]
[…Last time I praised Tarot for her eternal God, she replied that she was a Marxist? ? ]
[Fortune-telling also includes Marxist education, the money is definitely well spent. I don’t care if it’s accurate or not, I just want to listen to some Marxist philosophy.]
Chu Qianli usually charges a proportional fee based on the economic situation of the buyer, just like the rich students in school can easily pay huge sums of money, but the farmers in the village cannot earn this much money no matter how much crops they grow.
This does not mean that the latter do not respect Chu Qianli's labor results, but that this is all they can offer.
Chu Qianli and Grandpa occasionally collect eggs or food in the village. They can't just collect nothing, but they can't just collect money either.
She charges according to her mood, and the same is true for fortune telling. Occasionally, when she encounters people who ask about everything, she has to teach them not to be superstitious, and gradually she is known as a fortune teller with a bad temper. Her fortune telling is really accurate, and she doesn't charge random fees, so people who ask about fortune telling can tolerate being scolded. In the end, it makes sense.
Many fortune tellers were calling themselves the "Cardcaptor Squad" in the barrage and comment sections. They were basically people who were interested in this and had consulted many fortune tellers privately. Naturally, they could make comparisons and judgments, and they praised Chu Qianli's fortune-telling ability.
There are a limited number of well-known UP hosts on a certain site, and more and more viewers are praising the "Cardcaptor Squad". Chu Qianli and others have certainly also touched other people's cakes.
At school, Qiu Qingkong has been happily watching the number of fans on a certain website increase recently. Suddenly, she received a video from a like-minded person, which turned out to be an update from another UP owner. She clicked on it in surprise, and became furious after watching it.
After a while, Qiu Qingkong went to Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing to share her anger. She was so angry that she opened the video and played it publicly: "As expected, celebrities are prone to gossip. Even unknown celebrities want to make trouble for you. Look at this!"
On the phone screen, the female fortune teller was chatting while shuffling the cards. Her tone was gentle, but there was something fishy about it: "This industry is really a mixed bag. Many people dare to record videos without any skills. We used to record and edit by ourselves. Now some teams are blatantly buying promotions. Fortunately, several people are running it together. Don't be too greedy. Everyone should keep their eyes open..."
"Some people do charge low fees, but you can never get good products at a low price. This consumes a lot of mental energy. Each fortune teller can only interpret a limited number of cards per day. Do you think someone would waste their time to help you at a low price? There is something wrong with fortune telling for so many people in one day. Otherwise, it is team marketing!"
Many people in the bullet screen area echoed the words of the female fortune teller.
[The nearest place to show you the way is mksnxfd. Anyone who wants to pay the IQ tax can go there. Anyone who knows a little bit will know.]
[I have been a long-time fan of Yahun. Some of the new UPs are really bad and rely entirely on sales promotion.]
[Who knows if it’s a human or a dog on the other end of the network. I think there must be a team behind the production line. Maybe they are all beginners practicing.]
Tan Muxing poked his head out curiously: "Whose video is this?"
Qiu Qingkong said coldly: "A certain 18th-tier fortune teller."
Tan Muxing saw the other party's data and asked suspiciously, "But she has more fans than us?"
Qiu Qingkong said angrily: "That's also 18th-tier!"
Chu Qianli was confused: "Is there anything wrong with what she said?"
She didn't agree with it completely, but it seemed to make some sense.
Qiu Qingkong was very angry: "Teacher, she is hinting at us! This person loves to do this. There was a fortune teller who was as famous as her before, but she tore him apart and made him stop posting videos. She was lying to him at the beginning and charged him a high fee!"
"We charge low prices now, and she said cheap products are not good products. I dare say that she said all the sweet words!"
Qiu Qingkong has been following a fortune teller on a certain website. The female fortune teller in the video is called Yahun, and her UP account on the website is called "Yahun Tarot".
Qiu Qingkong had admired a fortune teller before. She even consulted her fortune teller and found her fortune teller very accurate. The only drawback was that her price was not affordable.
Later, Yahun publicly released a video containing the young lady’s charges, which incited many viewers to go to the young lady’s video to fight, and directly forced the young lady to withdraw from the circle.
Qiu Qingkong felt deeply sorry. She thought that the young lady played right into Yahun's hands. Not long after this incident, Yahun's fees increased slightly, and to date, the increase has exceeded that of the young lady at that time.
Chu Qianli's calculations were more accurate than the young lady's, so his charges were lower. Yahun changed his words again, saying that cheap goods are not good.
Qiu Qingkong was instantly furious. Her teacher was a man of high moral character and not short of money, so how could such a charlatan be so arrogant and demanding? ?
"Ah, I know you are angry, but the main reason is that I have encountered too many such things..." Chu Qianli pretended to hide her tears, "Wuwuwuwu, many colleagues used to scold me for being pretentious, and I don't even know where I am, Bai Lian?"
It has been a long time since Chu Qianli was bullied by her peers. To be honest, her peers are more hostile to her than materialists.
Tan Muxing asked blankly: "Does this really consume mental energy?"
Yahun said that ordinary fortune tellers could not interpret many fortunes in a day, but Tan Muxing often saw Chu Qianli fortune telling all day long.
Chu Qianli sobbed aggrievedly: "Wuwuwu, how would I know? Maybe ordinary people will consume their mental energy. A genius like me cannot empathize with them. It must be my fault..."
"Ordinary people get tired after counting two or three times a day, but what can I do if I don't get tired? Of course, the charges will be lower. It's my fault..."
Tan Muxing: "..."
