Chu Qianli's astrology business officially opened at school with the help of Tan Muxing and Qiu Qingkong.

Qiu Qingkong certainly wouldn't blindly push advertisements everywhere. She is very good at promotional strategies. She said that masters all take a mysterious route and need others to cheer them on and then make a grand appearance.

Chu Qianli asked doubtfully, "Lifting the sedan chair?"

Qiu Qingkong excitedly said: "Yes, I am an apprentice of astrology. I first help people around me with simple fortune-telling. Of course, I don't know how to tell fortunes now. In fact, I asked my teacher to tell fortunes in private. After others believe that astrology is useful, I can't tell more difficult questions. I have to ask my teacher to help me, but she wants to charge a little money..."

Chu Qianli came to realize that ordinary people have low acceptance of metaphysics. Qiu Qingkong's small favor and then charging a fee is a long-term strategy to catch a big fish, which is not likely to be disliked by others.

If Qiu Qingkong posts fortune-telling advertisements everywhere, people will only resist Chu Qianli. In fact, it is not a sale, but what is obtained through asking is the best. If Chu Qianli takes the route of a hidden astrologer, unnecessary explanations and troubles can be reduced.

Qiu Qingkong exclaimed: "Forcing it forward will lead to divine punishment. The key is marketing, and the personality is very important!"

Chu Qianli admired him and couldn't help but exclaimed: "You are so smart."

Tan Muxing looked strange: "Why do I always feel like I'm in the entertainment industry?"

As an apprentice of astrology, Qiu Qingkong had more divination props than Chu Qianli. Not only did she spread a dark purple velvet cloth on the table, she also placed crystals and other items in a very professional manner. If the school had not prohibited it, she would have probably lit up some incense.

In her spare time recently, she has been looking for work with various tools.

Tan Muxing looked at the various tools for root-digging and humbly asked, "Does root-digging require so many things?"

Chu Qianli: "No, to use the words of our village teacher, poor students have more stationery."

Even though Qiu Qingkong doesn't know astrology yet, he does have a lot of props.

Tan Muxing: "I thought it was standard."

Chu Qianli sighed: "That's why so many people are being cheated out of their IQ by expensive Tarot cards."

Qiu Qingkong exposed the truth unhappily: "Teacher, the unopened Tarot deck on your desk is also new!"

Qiu Qingkong has been paying attention to tarot cards, and Chu Qianming bought the latest models the next day.

Chu Qianli grumbled aggrievedly: "I didn't say that my IQ wouldn't be harvested."

Tan Muxing: “?”

Qiu Qingkong wandered in the corridor for a long time, and finally got her first business. After she rolled the astrology dice for the other party and claimed that she needed time to interpret it, she sneaked back to class and said excitedly: "Good, there is a fish on the hook!"

Tan Muxing was not interested in astrology. He was involved in this matter entirely because of his deskmate. At this time, he made a normal statement and said, "That sounds like cheating."

Chu Qianli looked at him and praised him: "You are right in a sense. Some people think that metaphysics and deception belong to the same house!"

Tan Muxing: "...and can Zhangen leave midway?"

After Qiu Qing threw the astrology dice without getting any result, she rushed back to class, feeling that something was wrong.

Chu Qianli said softly, "Of course we wouldn't normally occupy the vines, but aren't we cheating?"

Tan Muxing: "..."

Chu Qianli kindly reminded: "If you encounter a snatcher like her in the future, you can be confident that she is a scammer."

The fortune teller usually interprets the dice or tarot cards on the spot, otherwise there is a high probability that the fortune teller is half-hearted or a liar.

Qiu Qingkong is a negative example, as he even ran back to ask for help halfway through.

Qiu Qingkong didn't care about the two people's teasing. She showed the astrology dice in her hand to Chu Qianli and described it vividly: "Teacher, her phone is missing. This is the result of the roll. How should I interpret it?"

Chu Qianli scanned the contents of the astrology dice and found that it was Pluto, Cancer, and the 3rd house.

Chu Qianli asked: "How did you ask Xingxing questions before you voted?"

Qiu Qingkong looked confused: "Ask the stars?"

Chu Qianli patiently explained: "Astrology is about communicating with the stars. It can be said to be the art of language. The way you ask questions is very important. The stars will never lie to you, but you may not be able to communicate smoothly and may end up talking at cross purposes."

"You said someone lost their phone. The question could be 'Where is the phone now?' or 'Is the phone lost?' The focus of the answer would be different." Chu Qianli continued, "For example, people often ask 'Does he love me?' This is a question that is difficult for Xingxing to answer. Everyone has a subjective understanding of love or not."

"If the question is changed to 'What does he think of me?', the stars can paint a more objective picture of the situation. This is the importance of the way of asking questions."

After Qiu Qingkong absorbed the new knowledge, she thought for a moment, "Then our question should be 'Is the phone lost?'"

Chu Qianli asked patiently, "What was your first reaction after seeing the dice?"

Qiu Qingkong immediately took out a book and began to frantically read the basic knowledge. She whispered tentatively, "Then I guess I can't find it back. Pluto has a very fierce meaning..."

Tan Muxing looked at the astrology dictionary, his brows twitched slightly, and he said weakly: "Are you just going to learn and apply it right away?" Isn't it that urgent to cram before the exam?

"But there are still two dice that have not been interpreted." Chu Qianli pointed at the remaining dice with a pen. "Although focusing on key points to interpret is one method, in many cases it is necessary to look at the overall situation and connect other fragments of information."

After Qiu Qingkong finished reading the explanations of Cancer and the Third House, she scratched her head in distress and said in frustration: "But I can't connect!"

Qiu Qingkong read through the texts about Pluto, Cancer, and the third house, but was unable to weave them together, just like knowing the words but not being able to form sentences.

Chu Qianli encouraged the anxious apprentice, "Ah, but since this is your first time, it's good to have some feeling. At least you can read Pluto."

Qiu Qingkong sought the correct answer: "So can the phone be found?"

Chu Qianli nodded: "It can be found. It should be in the car at home, in the northern gap or in a dark place, but the result is not good after finding it."

Qiu Qingkong lowered her head and flipped through the book. She scanned the content at a glance and quickly grasped the key words: "Oh, I think I have some feeling. Cancer means home, and the third house means transportation..."

Chu Qianli reminded: "…It is indeed okay to do this when you are just starting out, but it is easy to force things sometimes."

Qiu Qingkong looked curious: "Then why did you say the result was not good after it was retrieved? Is the phone broken?"

Chu Qianli thought for a moment, then tilted her head to explain, "Because I haven't seen that person, I can't be sure. It's possible that the quarrel was caused by the phone, and the other party was criticized by his family, perhaps by his mother or female relatives."

Qiu Qingkong was confused: "How did you figure this out?"

Qiu Qingkong found that there was a huge gap between her interpretation and Chu Qianli's. She could only explain the superficial meaning and had to work backwards based on the correct answer, but the other party could provide an explosive amount of information.

They were clearly looking at the same set of dice, but the fortune-telling results they gave were so different!

Chu Qianli comforted him, "This is advanced learning, but beginners should just say what they are sure of. It is better to say less and not make mistakes."

Qiu Qingkong's expression was numb: "That's it, I haven't confirmed anything yet, I think I should just shut up."

Tan Muxing: "...too real."

Although Qiu Qingkong's fortune-telling skills were terrible, she responded using Chu Qianli's interpretation and came excitedly to report the next day.

Qiu Qingkong recounted the WeChat message in high spirits: "She told me that she was scolded after returning home last night because her mother found her mobile phone in the car and said that if she lost anything again, she would be angry and fine her for living expenses..."

"She's absolutely right, it's so accurate!" Qiu Qingkong's eyes lit up, and he looked at Chu Qianli again, "I said the teacher could solve more difficult problems, and she has already made an appointment for a divination consultation, intending to learn more about it!"

Astrology is the most expensive business currently, and the other party obviously has questions that he is eager to know.

Chu Qianli applauded and said, "Not bad, you also got feedback for your first attempt at picking radishes. You can record it and practice it repeatedly."

Qiu Qingkong: "Feedback?"

Chu Qianli: "Yes, when the other party gives you real feedback, you will know where you missed something and can re-interpret the case. The accumulation of this knowledge is a fortune."

“Once you get enough feedback, you will develop your own personal style and understand the appropriate way of interpretation.”

Qiu Qingkong asked: "How much feedback have you received? Let me set a goal first."

Chu Qianli looked away guiltily: "Ah, this question is not easy to answer..."

"Why?"

"It's like asking 'how many grains of rice have you eaten'. I don't know how to answer that."

“…”

Tan Muxing had been listening quietly. He raised his hand cautiously and said, "I would like to ask you, what is your level of astrology?"

Tan Muxing was a complete layman, he only knew that Chu Qianli was accurate, but he couldn't make an accurate assessment. He witnessed Qiu Qingkong's recent learning progress and found that the gap between him and Chu Qianli was too big, so he naturally couldn't help but feel curious.

Qiu Qingkong said that Chu Qianli's video was more accurate than the one on the Internet, but Tan Muxing hadn't even watched the video.

Chu Qianli hesitated and said, "Well... this question is not easy to answer..."

"Why?"

"Because I want to be humble, but telling the truth is not very humble." Chu Qianli glanced at the astrology dice on the table, threw it casually, and suggested, "Let the stars answer the questions that are difficult to answer!"

The astrologer dice made a crisp sound when they collided.

Chu Qianli smiled and said, "Oh, Xingxing said that I am the best in the world. This is not self-praise. This is the answer given by Xingxing. I just translated its words..."

Tan Muxing looked at the dice rolling under the book page, then looked at his deskmate who was looking directly at him, and couldn't help but say, "...you answered without even looking at the dice, didn't you?"

The dice thrown by Chu Qianli rolled under the pages of the book. She didn't even move the book to look for the dice, but gave the answer neatly.

Where are the stars in this?

These are obviously her own words!

Chu Qianli hummed and moaned, trying to get away with it: "No, these are the words of the stars, but you can't understand them. I am very humble..."

Tan Muxing was silent for a moment. He was too embarrassed to confront her, so he said tactfully, "I heard a nursery rhyme when I was a kid, and I still remember the lyrics."

Chu Qianli's attention was immediately diverted, and she asked curiously, "What song is it? Is it good? What are the lyrics?"

Tan Muxing: "It's called "Lupinus" and the lyrics are 'The stars in the sky don't talk', which fits your guess just now."

The astrology dice rolled directly under the page of the book. The stars didn't want to answer her questions at all, and were speechless at her "humility".

Chu Qianli: “…”
