Chapter 501: Chapter 501: This Night, Destined to be Turbulent

After settling in, Jiang Mingyu aimlessly strolled the streets.

Suddenly, a billboard caught his attention.

It was an advertisement for a talent show, densely packed with numerous photos, but Jiang Mingyu immediately recognized a young man at the bottom right corner.

That was... his son.

Jiang Mingyu became instantly excited and ran to scrutinize the billboard.

Shi Xu had actually joined a talent show? And he was currently one of the top three contestants in the popularity rankings? Had his autism completely cured?

This was truly wonderful!

But on second thought, even with Shen Lan’s protection, he had had a hard time. How much more difficult must it have been for Shi Xu, who was incognito and fending for himself? Could he have been bullied by many? Could he have gone hungry and cold?

Thus, to pedestrians passing by, it appeared as if a strange, disheveled man with long unkempt hair and beard was both crying and laughing while embracing the billboard.

"Is that guy alright? He didn’t just come out of a mental hospital, did he?"

"I don’t know, but since when do mental hospital patients chase celebrities?"

...

Dragon Ridge Island.

After finishing lunch, Shang Shuyue walked into the cave with a solemn expression and then gave Jiang Li a meaningful look.

Jiang Li closed her book and walked over.

"What’s wrong?"

Shang Shuyue lowered her voice and said, "I’ve felt something off since this morning, as if there are many more people around us. I pretended to go out to take care of the trash just now and saw a shadow dart into the bushes. Could this have anything to do with the new rule Zheng Xun announced earlier?"

Just a few hours ago, Zheng Xun updated the survival game rules— fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

From now on, each team could freely increase or decrease their numbers, with each change costing a thousand points.

This wasn’t a significant rule, as numbers were not a winning condition, but the other rule was more concerning—

The inner area of Dragon Ridge Island was officially open, and all guests were free to go there to gather more resources.

But correspondingly, the dangers of the inner area were much greater than those of the outer area.

Yet, Zheng Xun had offered a tempting incentive: every day, the team closest to the center of the inner area would gain a thousand points.

Just for that thousand points, some people would go to great lengths without food or water.

Dragon Ridge Island might not look big from the outside, but only after stepping inside would one realize its vast depths, which could take ten days or even half a month to traverse entirely, not to mention the human body isn’t made of iron.

Zheng Xun’s move was no different from forcing those who were loafing around to move forward.

—Like them.

So since this morning, an unceasing stream of people started approaching this place.

But no one showed themselves openly.

Hearing Shang Shuyue’s words, Jiang Li performed a divination on the spot.

This time she used the Little Liu Ren.

This divination method was simple and convenient, not requiring much energy, but it couldn’t divine major events, and was only accurate for simple matters.

The result was "Void, speedy joy, Da An."

Jiang Li smiled slightly and turned to Shang Shuyue, "It’s fine, we just need to stand fast."

Shang Shuyue was baffled.

Although she knew Jiang Li had some knowledge of the Mysterious Gate Escape Armor, could simply twiddling her fingers really predict anything?

Seeing her confusion, Jiang Li, having nothing better to do, decided to explain.

She took out a twig and began to draw and write in the dirt.

"This is Little Liu Ren, a simple and beginner-level method of divination. It uses the current two-hour period for calculation and is most accurate for predicting fortune and misfortune, as well as the progress of events. It consists of six forms: Da An, Liu Lian, speedy joy, ChiKou, Xiao Ji, and Void."

"The result I divined was first Void, which signifies emptiness and instability—under such conditions, one should not undertake major actions or decisions. ’Speedy joy’ transitions to great luck; we might encounter an unexpected surprise, and it finally rests on Da An, which represents everything going smoothly."

"So there’s no need to worry about the villains outside. They pose no threat to us."

[Holy crap, this is the first time the expert has explained in so much detail, but I still don’t get it.]

[I’ve also dabbled in Little Liu Ren before, and it’s indeed easy to start with, but mastering it requires real skill, as only those with spiritual insight can truly understand it.]

Changqing thought about these comments, then typed a few lines in the chat—

[Miss Jiang is very proficient in Little Liu Ren, otherwise she wouldn’t be this skilled. This divination method is most suitable for determining fortune and misfortunes, or for finding people or things. If anyone in the comment section has a request, they can visit Shuiyun Temple on Shuiyun Mountain in the Capital, where the first twenty divinations of the day are free.]

[Really? There’s such a good deal? I just happen to live nearby; I’ll check it out tomorrow!]

[What is Shuiyun Temple? Isn’t it said that the most accurate divinations in the Capital come from Lingfeng Temple on Qingfeng Mountain?]

[Since when do Taoists start watching live streams?]

[Where did this Jiang Lake scammer come from, spewing nonsense here, don’t be absurd.]

Despite the skepticism, many people showed intense curiosity.

Changqing was satisfied.

The incense was not very prosperous in the temple lately, and taking advantage of Miss Jiang’s momentum, he could also promote his master’s temple.

...

Although the terminology was complex, Shang Shuyue was smart enough, and Jiang Li explained it in simple terms, so she quickly grasped the essence.

Since the outcome was positive, she didn’t really need to worry.

After all, she had witnessed Jiang Li’s capabilities before.

People outside came in waves, almost without a break throughout the entire day.

Even Shang Shaojing’s group noticed this unusual sign.

"They seem to be heading for the people down there," reported Zhuola, who had come back from observing, "It seems someone has leaked the location of Team Q."

Shang Shaojing did not speak, looking pensive.

Pretending to be worried while maintaining her on-camera persona, Su Yinwan raised the issue, "What should we do? Jiang Li’s situation seems very dangerous. Should we go help them?"

But Shang Shaojing snorted, "Help? Why should we? They agreed when they took the thousand points that we wouldn’t interfere with each other. Now, it’s just that their location has been exposed. As long as we stay hidden well, no one will find us. Mind our own business."

He was actually curious to see how Jiang Li would turn danger into safety this time.

If they truly couldn’t hold on and came begging to him, he might just charitably lend a hand.

He was also quite eager to see what kind of scared expression would appear on that woman’s face.

With anxious minds, the various groups continued on, through the last traces of sunset fading from the sky, as the night descended.

This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.

Likewise, destined for unrest was the Gu Family in the Capital—
