Chapter 1 Binding System
[Where the brain is stored…]
The night is dark.
In a corner at the end of the path, there was only a small shop with dim lights on, and an old plaque read "Bai's Shop".
The white coating on the exterior wall is peeling off, the doors and windows are dilapidated, and it is full of a sense of age...
Inside the store, a girl wearing black-framed glasses, thick bangs and a ponytail was browsing her phone out of boredom.
This small shop, which is less than 20 square meters, has its walls covered with divination tools and incense sticks. The only sound in the entire shop is the sound coming from Bai Youyou's cell phone.
She waited for a whole day, but no customers came. This was a skill taught to her by her grandfather, who was originally going to pass it on to her father, but her father did not have this talent. It was not until she was born that she remembered everything her grandfather taught her.
This amazing talent made her grandfather teach her step by step. In his time, the business of feng shui and fortune telling was still very good.
In that era, communications were not well developed, and the Feng Shui business relied on referrals from regular customers. So they found a secluded location to rent a shop, which was considered to be a way to establish a reputation and attract regular customers.
But in recent years, their business has been criticized as feudal superstition, and the business in the store has gradually become quiet and worse...
"Zizizi~", the dim light bulb above my head made an intermittent sound again.
The electricity in this old street is not very stable. When the residents go home at night, the electricity in the shops on the street is in short supply.
Bai Youyou looked at her phone. It was already six o'clock, and it looked like there would be no business today.
"Alas, another day without making any money. Mom's illness can no longer be put off."
After her grandfather passed away, she took over the shop from her father before she graduated, and things were going okay at first.
As a result, my mother was diagnosed with liver cancer. The liver is the least sensitive organ in the body. Once it feels something, it is already in the late stage.
Now she has to take expensive drugs every month. The only way to be cured is to get a liver transplant. It’s okay that her father is not a match, but she is not a match either. The cost of treatment and transplantation is more than one million dollars.
This amount is an astronomical figure for a family like theirs.
Moreover, the family is already struggling to make ends meet in order to pay for his treatment.
Bai Youyou locked the shop with a sad face, turned around and walked onto the dim path. Before she could react, a sharp brake sound came towards her. She looked up and saw the driver's terrified expression through the window of the van.
"Bang!"
Bai Youyou was hit and flew into the air, rolling from the roof of the car to the back. The car finally stopped. After a while, a thin and somewhat sloppy driver got out of the car. He was wearing an old man's vest and black trousers. The heels of his sandals had turned into slippers. He walked carefully to Bai Youyou's side.
"Girl, girl..."
The driver grabbed his hair, extremely frustrated, "Why did the brakes suddenly fail?"
When he took out his cell phone and was about to call 120, a groaning sound came from the ground. The driver was so scared that he sat down and almost peed himself.
“You you you…”
Bai Youyou held up her hands and sat up, turning her neck. "Shh, it hurts."
When he saw her standing up, the driver quickly stood up and asked, "Girl, are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Bai Youyou didn't feel anything special except for some soreness. She waved her hands and said she had to hurry back to take care of her mother.
She ignored it and her cell phone rang again. She turned away and answered the call.
"Hello, Aunt Qin."
"The rent for this shop has been overdue for almost three months. When are you going to pay it?"
The noisy voice on the other end of the phone reached Bai Youyou's ears, and she answered harshly;
"Aunt Qin, can you please be more flexible? I will pay you as soon as I earn money."
"Hmph, I advise you to find a job in a factory. You don't have the skills of your grandfather to stay in this shop every day. I heard from my father that your grandfather's shop was always crowded with customers, and the bosses who drove cars came one after another."
"Look at you again. What have you done with your business? I tell you, I'll give you another half a month. If you still don't pay, I won't be polite."
She put away her phone, bent her fingers and pushed her glasses, only to find that her glasses were also broken. She walked towards the hospital with a heavy heart.
When I arrived at the ward, I saw my father's back, which was already somewhat hunched. He was sitting on a bench outside the ward, dozing off with his face supported by his hands.
She didn't want to disturb them, so she went to the ward to see her mother who was getting thinner and thinner. If she couldn't make money, she would lose her shop and her mother...
I squatted in the stairwell of the hospital, buried my head in my knees, and cried silently.
Suddenly, a mechanical sound came to my ears;
[Congratulations to the host, life has been successfully restarted, bound to the occupation system! ]
Bai Youyou raised her head in confusion and looked at the dark and strange staircase in front of her. "Who is talking?"
[Host, I am your occupation system. In the initial binding phase, the host can possess the authority of the Sky Eye! ]
She looked around and realized that the voice seemed to come from her mind. "What is the authority of the third eye?"
[Through face reading, you can see the life story of this person and his relatives, and predict what will happen in the next three days. 】
Bai Youyou only heard the key words "next three days" and "Can I predict the lottery results for the next three days?" She was really short of money.
System: [......]
[Host, please respect yourself. This permission is for you to use when occupying the site. It is only for people. The permission to predict lottery tickets is not enabled for the time being. ]
“What does it mean to successfully restart your life?”
[The host has already died once. Because your ancestors had merits, they have accumulated to ten generations from your grandfather's side. They all chose to use the merits on the host, so the car accident you just had was an opportunity for you to bind the system.]
Bai Youyou thought of her kind grandpa and tears suddenly filled her eyes.
[I forgot to remind the host that the occupancy system is obtained through practice, so the host can use the system to gain merit and maintain the normal use of the system. ]
“How do I gain merit?”
【Do good things! 】
Bai Youyou:......
[This voice is temporarily dormant. The dormant period will not affect the host's use. Please use it as you wish! ]
Before Bai Youyou could ask, the sound of QQ going offline rang in her mind!
After wiping away the tears, he pushed open the door of the stairwell, glanced at his father from a distance, and searched his mind for what he could do with the system. In today's society, fortune-telling on the street doesn't seem to make money quickly, and it's easy to be driven away by the urban management.
I remembered those anchors I saw on my mobile phone. Yes, I can tell fortunes live. Isn’t this the fastest way?
With hope in her heart, she felt much more relaxed on the way back. Live streaming did not require her to invest too much. She could just stay in her own small room, hang a curtain and set up a mobile phone like other anchors. Isn't that enough?
She registered an account on the most popular live streaming platform and gave herself a name, "Master Bai".
The theme of the live broadcast is also straightforward and simple: only three gossips every day!
