Chapter 554: Chapter 314 Too Arrogant Will Get Beaten _1

Arranging all his cards, Mu You closed his eyes and tried to open his Mind’s Eye Vision once again.

But this time, as soon as his Mind’s Eye Vision expanded, it rapidly shrank back, accompanied by the feeling of dizziness, reverting Mu You’s instinct to open his eyes.

"Stop trying, your spiritual power is already exhausted..." Vivian’s voice came.

"Already?"

Mu You paused, he had only attempted divination three times, and his spiritual power was already depleted? Although he was still a beginner, it shouldn’t be this limited...

"Normally it’s not this quick. Generally, even a beginner diviner can conduct divination at least ten times a day without an issue. If this situation has occurred, the only possibility is that you are somehow related to the matter at hand," Vivian explained.

Mu You understood what Vivian meant. If the diviner is related to the matter they’re divining, the power consumption will drastically increase.

And with his close relation to Lin Xue, it’s indeed possible that they may have been associated.

"I’ll do it."

Vivian then spread her wings and flew onto Mu You’s shoulder, ready to perform the divination herself.

"Just like before, continue to visualize your inheritance mission," she instructed Lin Xue.

Lin Xue quickly took action.

Once the ritual setup was complete, Vivian flapped her wings, and the deck in front of her started to hover. These cards spun rapidly in front of them, connecting end to end to form a type of formation.

Moments later, three cards disengaged from the deck one at a time and came together in the center of the formation. They overlapped and spun rapidly.

This was a divination method Mu You had read about in his books, an auxiliary divination formation that greatly increased the scope and accuracy of the divination. It was considered high-level content. He couldn’t use it now, nor understand the divination images, so all he could do was watch the spectacle.

After rotating in mid-air for a minute or two, the formation of cards slowly ceased its rotation. Vivian seemed to understand something as she nodded.

"I vaguely understand..."

"What is it?" Mu You hurriedly asked.

"I cannot say," Vivian shook her head.

"Huh?"

"Once divulged, the result of the divination will lose its effect and the future will divert into an unknown course," Vivian explained.

Mu You was startled. This suggests that what she divined must not merely be something as fundamental as mortality rates, but rather, more about cause and effect.

The results of divination can be categorized into two types: reportable and non-reportable. Reportable divinations are generally more basic, often resulting in already confirmed facts or something equivocal, like the divinations given to Little Ya or Ye Rumeng revealing the location of keys and the condition of the little girl’s sister. These are facts that won’t change just because the information is conveyed.

However, some divinations about the future may cause behavioral changes among the parties involved due to premature reporting of results, indirectly affecting the outcomes. The farther into the future a divination looks and the more detailed its content, the more likely it is to be non-reportable.

Obviously, Vivian must have divined enough information, turning this into a non-reportable divination.

"Don’t worry, when the time comes, I’ll be with Little Snow," Vivian said.

"Alright then..."

Mu You nodded. Vivian had spoken, and he didn’t need to worry anymore. Given Vivian’s relationship with Grandma Lin Xue, it was certain that Vivian wouldn’t harm her.

"Let’s conclude the divination for today. In the future, try to practice with those you don’t know well," Vivian again turned and advised Mu You.

"Okay."

Mu You understood that Vivian had his best interest at heart. Divination relied solely on spiritual power, which couldn’t be increased. The limited number of available divinations per day could only be improved through daily practice, and there were no shortcuts.

Not insisting further, Mu You put up his divining equipment, fished out his cell phone, just about to return to gaming when he noticed a pop-up friend message from the forum backend. It was from Jiu You.

"Big player, the building data for the city has been sorted out!"

"Oh? Send it to me," Mu You responded.

This was regarding the building data for Dawn City, which he had asked Jiu You to get help with planning the best construction order. He thought that with computer assistance, this task would not be too difficult and could be completed overnight. However, he was surprised that it took almost a day.

"Wait a moment... "

Jiu You disappeared for several minutes before sending over a document file.

Mu You opened it and was stunned.

pages!

Even more than the introductory pages when he first started learning divination!

"Why is there so much?" Mu You was surprised.

"This is the result of a full night’s discussion by more than thirty experts. Using 32 construction concepts based on different objectives, we’ve calculated the optimal approach for each. We’ve also recorded the calculating methods used for each approach, so the page count is a bit high..."

Even in Jiu You’s reply, there was a touch of helplessness. He had initially thought that one night would be enough, but the mathematicians were meticulous. They discussed the entire night, and each approach was selected under the error within milliseconds, striving for the fastest solution. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have spent nearly a day settling on the final version.

"By the way, the ’too long didn’t read version’ is in the last five pages. You can skip the previous pages and go straight to the end..." Jiu You kindly hinted.

In fact, even this five-page summary was a condensed version that Jiu You had someone write. Because the mathematicians had treated this casually given task like a formal thesis paper, even the conclusions ended up being over thirty pages long. He had to get it condensed, otherwise, it wouldn’t be user-friendly to normal people.
