Chapter 177 Norton University: SS-Rank Invitation Letter Arrives [1 Update]
The young man's pupils contracted sharply as he stared intently at the last line of numbers, forgetting that he was still adrift in the Atlantic Ocean.
His user level was S-level, so he knew perfectly well that the registration time did not refer to the NOK forum, but to the Hidden Alliance.
After all, the internet is less than a hundred years old.
Even if supernatural events were to occur, the year 1496 would absolutely not happen.
As everyone knows, entering the hidden section of the NOK forum means joining the Hidden Alliance.
Therefore, NOK stands for No one konws, which actually refers to the Hidden Alliance.
Hidden in the world, unknown to anyone.
Admittedly, the Internet only appeared in 1969, but the NOK Forum was just one of the platforms for the Hidden Alliance.
The Hidden Alliance existed long before the internet was invented.
Therefore, the earliest traces of the NOK forum can be traced back to the 15th century.
At that time, however, it was still called the Hidden Alliance.
As times progress, the Hidden Alliance has also started using the internet.
Therefore, there are some people whose registration dates are before 1969 because they were originally members of the Hidden Alliance.
But in 1496?
Five hundred years have passed, how could the account owner still be alive?!
"A diviner..." The young man looked at the poster's ID again and muttered to himself.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he lunged at his bed and pulled a box out from under the bed.
Inside was a notebook with yellowish-brown paper, clearly from a bygone era.
The young man's fingers trembled as he turned to one of the pages, his eyes widening once more.
He quickly browsed through the pages, only looking at the important parts.
In 1609, a fortune teller predicted that the Love dynasty would perish on July 25.
At the time, no one believed it and regarded the prophecy as a joke, simply because the Love Dynasty was the most powerful dynasty in O Continent at that time, and no one could shake it.
However, on July 25th, the emperor tragically stabbed himself to death while practicing swordsmanship.
The princess rebelled and attacked, killing the prince.
Overnight, the entire royal family of the Lov dynasty died.
Thus ended the Love dynasty.
In 1765, a fortune teller prophesied that Caesar Laurent, the head of the Laurent family, would die in an assassination attempt.
The Laurent family was on high alert and took strict precautions, but they still couldn't prevent the assassination from succeeding.
After Caesar Laurent's death, the Laurent family entered a period of great depression, eventually declining into nothingness.
In 1780, a fortune teller prophesied the death of the last sorceress in O Continent.
On October 31 of the same year, the final witch trial ended.
From then on, there were no more witches or sorcerers in O Continent, and fortune tellers completely disappeared; only tarot cards survived.
That's where the record ends.
This means that the fortune teller has not made any new prophecies since 1780.
Perhaps they have disappeared, or perhaps they have gone into seclusion.
So even now, no one knows the gender of the fortune teller, nor does anyone know his age.
The only certainty is that the diviner must have had a very long lifespan, otherwise the prophecies could not have spanned several centuries.
But nobody paid attention to that; they were only concerned with whether they could find the fortune teller.
If one could obtain a single divination from a diviner, their life would undergo a qualitative change.
The reason why young people are so determined to find the ruins of Atlantis is because their ancestors told them this.
The Laurent family originally consisted of only a few people.
Their rise to prominence was thanks to a diviner who led them to this lost ancient continent, bringing back unparalleled wealth—gold beyond measure.
The young man's emotions were beyond words; he put down his notebook and rushed back to the computer.
In less than a minute, the number of replies to this bounty post exceeded 10,000, making it a top trending post!
But the young man suddenly noticed that the registration time he had just seen had now turned into a string of asterisks, clearly indicating that it had been encrypted.
Even so, this ID is already enough to make people furious.
[Holy crap, someone pinch me! What did I just see? Number one on the bounty list???]
[In my lifetime, I actually saw a bounty post at the top of the bounty list on the forum?!]
[Master, I really want to know what you did, and why your bounty is so high?]
My maternal grandfather was a member of the Hidden Alliance, but he had never seen you post. May I ask how old you are this year?
It's been too long since the era when the Hidden Alliance appeared; now the forum is full of a new batch of members.
The old members are practically extinct, let alone posting anything.
Not all members, like the younger generation, possess an ancient family book passed down through generations, which records some prophecies about the diviner.
Most people only know that the Calculator has been on the bounty list since the NOK forum was established, leaving everyone else behind, and no hunter has dared to take his job.
At this moment, all the bigwigs in the world, whether they were the financial tycoons of O continent, the detectives of the IBI, or the hunters on the list, paid attention to this post.
Fu Yunshen was no exception.
He was using the lowest level A account.
After all, his other accounts are not user-friendly; they automatically display a barrage of comments, alerting other users.
He stared at the words "divine fortune teller," his eyes gradually darkening.
The phone rang.
Fu Yunshen glanced at it and answered the call.
"Have you checked the NOK forum? The number one bounty has appeared!" The bartender was on the other end of the phone, his voice excited. "Quick, your access level is higher than mine. I'm only A-level, so I can't see any other information. Check when he joined the Hidden Alliance."
"Hmm." Fu Yunshen looked at the year 1496 and said calmly, "I won't be able to see it either."
"You can't see it either?" The bartender was taken aback. "How could you not see it? You're not..."
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.
He knew that Fu Yunshen wasn't blind to it, but rather that he didn't want to tell him.
Their relationship wasn't close enough for them to share all their secrets.
"Never mind, never mind," the bartender sighed. "But now that the fortune teller has reappeared, shouldn't you go find 'him'?"
Although he never believed in the term "divine calculation," always feeling it was an exaggeration.
However, it must be admitted that there is no one on the entire earth who can hide better than a diviner.
He had initially suspected that the fortune teller was just a fake person randomly listed at the top of the bounty list on the NOK forum to motivate the hunters.
But now it seems that diviners really do exist.
So even the most elite agents in the IBI are no match for the mastermind.
If you want to investigate something, finding a fortune teller is too easy.
It's easy to calculate, and the answer is readily available.
The bartender got excited again: "Don't you have an SS-level invitation from Norton University? Quickly accept this bounty, and you'll be able to meet the fortune teller."
"No need." Fu Yunshen put down his cup and chuckled softly. "I don't want to investigate anymore, and I prepared the invitation for the children."
The bartender was taken aback: "Why?"
"It's nothing." Fu Yunshen closed the NOK forum lazily. "I guess I'm just going to be a playboy for the rest of my life and stay in Shanghai."
The two people he cares about most are both in Shanghai.
Now that Grandpa Fu is cured, there's no need for him to go anywhere else.
"Are you crazy?" The bartender was speechless with shock. "You're quitting? What are you going to do about those people? And what about the others? If they find out you're doing this, they'll go crazy!"
"Okay, I'm retiring. Time to retire." Fu Yunshen hung up the phone. "I'm hanging up now. Don't bother me."
He didn't put down his phone; instead, he opened WeChat.
Fu Yunshen looked languid as he clicked on a small cookie icon.
【Yaoyao, go to bed early, and remember to drink a glass of warm milk.】
The other party replied to the message instantly.
I know, remember to take your medicine.
Fu Yunshen turned his head, picked up the medicine bottle on the table, and poured out a pill.
He called her "little kid," and she actually treated him like an old man.

Ying Zijin slept until she naturally woke up the next day.
Today is June 1st, a Monday, and she was supposed to go to school.
But she planned to go to Norton University, so she took a month-long leave of absence.
The principal approved it without even thinking about it.
He even generously told her that she could take leave until next year's college entrance examination, as long as she could take the exam.
Ying Zijing turned on her computer, logged into the NOK forum, and then...
This is the first time my computer has crashed.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, Ying Zijing finally entered and saw 100,000 replies.
"..."
Um.
She had thought that after more than two hundred years, the term "divine fortune teller" would no longer have such a great influence.
Of course, it wouldn't have had such a big impact originally.
The blame lies with the Hidden Alliance for posting her name on the bounty list after establishing the NOK forum.
She scrolled to the last reply.
[@Norton University: SS-level college invitation letter has arrived; we await your arrival.]
