Chapter 105 Face Reading Test
“This—” Yu Xiaoluo thought for a moment, then lifted her mask and patted his back. “Hehe, Brother Shuoyu, mission accomplished.”
At this moment, the system voice sounded: "[Completed 1 good deed, accumulated good deed value 21, merit value +10, accumulated merit value 87.]"
Yu Xiaoluo screamed at the system, "[I risked my life to save ten people and only got one good point, and this kiss gives me a good point too???]"
Yes, Master, you can kiss me a few more times.
"If I kissed him five hundred times, wouldn't that mean I've completed the mission?"
No, Master. Kissing for the sake of kissing won't earn you any good points; in fact, it will deduct points.
Yu Xiaolu roared, "Is there even a difference?"
Of course there's a difference; a heartfelt "dear" counts.
Yu Xiaoluo was a little confused. "You mean, I meant it just now—wait, wait, wait, you mean I kissed you because I really liked you?"
Yes, Master.
[Holy crap, am I, a man over a thousand years old, really interested in this brat? Are you kidding me?]
【Master, I'm a very serious person and I never joke around. I can help you measure your liking level—hmm, it's 68, which means you like it quite a bit.】
Thankfully, none of them were completely devoted to her, and Yu Xiaolu breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
After all, it's not a loss to exchange affection for good luck points. If I kiss you a few more times while my affection points are still there, my good luck points will skyrocket! Thinking of this, Yu Xiaolu couldn't help but chuckle.
"What's wrong, little girl? Are you so happy?"
"good."
Bao Shuoyu smiled too. It was as if a ray of light was warming his very being. The world was no longer cold and desolate, no longer filled with loneliness and helplessness. This must be love.
It turns out that the feeling of being liked by someone you like is really great.
However, he was still a little worried. After the demonic energy in his body was activated yesterday, he felt that if he was emotionally unstable, he would not be able to control himself.
——————
The two parked their car and walked into the store.
I almost went blind when I looked at the line. It was so long that I couldn't see the end of it. Only Little Frog and Bao Manman were struggling to maintain order. "Hey, you guys take a number and line up. Take a number and line up. If your number is far back, you can go do your own thing first and come back later. Our master will be here soon."
At this moment, a commotion arose in the crowd. "It's Miss Yu!"
Yu Xiaoluo stared blankly at the diverse and varied people dressed in all sorts of ways—young and old, monks, Taoists, some carrying fortune-telling banners, others carrying loads of goods. "You—what are you doing?"
“Miss Yu, aren’t you looking to hire fortune tellers? We’re all here to apply.”
Yu Xiaoluo never expected that so many people would come to apply for the job today after the advertisement was released last night. She wondered how long the interviews would last. She looked at the endless queue behind her with mixed feelings.
It seems even this job isn't easy to make now, with so many people unemployed.
If those people were doing well, they wouldn't be working here.
But we still have to fight this tough battle.
She cleared her throat. "Hello everyone, please don't leave now. Thank you all for valuing our Yu Family Metaphysics Academy so much. Our Yu Family Metaphysics Academy only recruits people with real talent and skills. Because there are many people, we will conduct interviews in groups. Please line up in groups of ten and be divided into groups in order. After that, we will conduct basic tests."
Led by Bao Shuoyu, everyone quickly lined up in groups of ten and stood at the door, which looked much neater.
Bao Manman pointed to several boxes of things at the shop entrance and said something to Yu Xiaoluo. Yu Xiaoluo nodded. Bao Manman was really thoughtful. Yu Liang was not bad either; he must have greeted Bao Manman first.
"Drawing talismans is one of the basic skills of our Taoist school. Due to limited space, the first two groups will go into the shop to draw protective talismans. Those who can draw talismans with spiritual light can stay, and those who cannot can go back for now. Thank you for coming so early in the morning. There is milk and bread in the box over there. You can each take a loaf of bread and a glass of water back with you."
Everyone was very impressed with Yu Xiaoluo's arrangements; what a thoughtful girl.
So the first two groups went into the shop to draw talismans. Of the twenty people, five stayed, while the other fifteen, looking somewhat dejected, took their bread and milk and went home. No one complained; after all, their skills weren't great, and they were at least given food—other companies wouldn't even offer a cup of water when they applied for jobs.
Shen Yujie and Bao Manman arrived early this morning, along with four demons. However, they were afraid of being accused of using child labor, so they could only use them secretly.
After the talisman drawing was finished, about 50 people remained. Most of them had already been eliminated, so they were divided into five groups, which made things look much neater.
Then, Yu Xiaoluo called Bao Manman over, because she was the only normal person there.
"Now, this young lady is standing right here. You can tell her fortune. Those who can tell her fortune accurately can stay, and those who can't can leave. Well, we won't tell her future, as that would involve her privacy. We'll tell her past, whether she experienced any major events and at what age."
An elderly man with a white beard asked, "Master Yu, could you provide the young lady's birth date and time?"
"This also involves other people's privacy, so I won't provide it. You can calculate it by looking at their faces."
This stumped another group of people, because most Taoist masters rely on the Eight Characters of Birth for fortune telling. For Taoist masters with limited Taoist skills, the accuracy rate of judging by facial features alone is not high.
So, in this round, only ten remained.
In the final round, Yu Xiaoluo decided to conduct a character test, as she would not tolerate those with ulterior motives or malicious intentions.
To avoid being disturbed by unrelated people, Yu Xiaoluo asked Bao Shuoyu to disperse the onlookers. "Everyone, please cooperate. We've cleared the area now. Those who cooperate can come back for bread tomorrow."
Once everyone had left and no one was peering in, Yu Xiaoluo finally felt relieved. Of course, it didn't matter if those watching from a great distance or the residents were looking out of their windows.
Just then, a little girl, covered in dirt, dressed in tattered clothes, her face streaked with tears and snot, walked towards them, crying, "Mommy—Mommy—"
Everyone looked over there, but Yu Xiaoluo and the others didn't move an inch, because that was Xiaozhuzhu. Today's character test depended on her.
Yu Xiaoluo said loudly, "Now, everyone line up. No one can leave the line without my permission, otherwise, you will be eliminated. There are still ten servings of bread and ten servings of milk left. Don't worry, everyone will have some, no matter whether you stay or not."
