36: Chapter 36: 150 merit points obtained! Three divinations completed, time for a summary!

Su Yun looked at these comments, his face showing no sign of excessive pride.

He simply let out a gentle sigh.

In his mind, that familiar system notification arrived right on schedule.

[ Ding! ]

[ Congratulations, Host! You assisted the police in catching a major grave-robbing and murder case! ]

[ You prevented the national treasure "Western Zhou Taotie Pattern Bronze Ding" from being smuggled overseas! ]

[ As determined by the system, this is a great merit! ]

[ Reward: 150 merit points! ]

Looking at that number, the corners of Su Yun's mouth finally couldn't help but curve upward.

150 merit points!

This is a huge haul!

Adding this to what remained before, this wave was a massive gain; he could redeem quite a bit of lifespan again.

The cancer cells in this body will likely be suppressed significantly once more.

As long as he can live, that is better than anything else.

Su Yun adjusted his sitting posture and faced the camera again.

Although it was already late at night, and he had just experienced a thrilling arrest broadcast.

Yet his eyes remained frighteningly bright.

That was the clarity of someone who sees through the ways of the world.

"Everyone."

Su Yun spoke, his voice slightly hoarse but exceptionally clear.

"Tonight's three fortunes have come to a successful conclusion."

"It is getting late, everyone should get some sleep early."

"Don't stay up late often; staying up late hurts the body and easily shortens one's lifespan."

"I still need to keep my own life to tell a few more fortunes for you all."

...

In the live stream, gift special effects were still flying all over the screen.

That top-ranked user with the ID "Hangcheng Young Master" smashed another ten Carnivals, filling the entire screen with golden special effects.

"Master Su! Don't go! Let's chat for another five bucks worth!"

"That scene just now was too exciting; my heart hasn't calmed down yet, chat a bit more!"

"Master, I see you have extraordinary bone structure, tell us a bit more, even if not fortune-telling, just explaining the principle behind that 'corpse rising' earlier would be fine!"

The comments were also filled with pleas for him to stay.

These viewers, having just watched an arrest drama more exciting than a movie, were currently at the peak of their excitement and were unwilling to let Su Yun end the broadcast.

Su Yun looked at the screen and shook his head helplessly.

He reached out and pulled the microphone closer to his mouth; the crackling sound of electricity made the live stream quiet down a little.

"Alright, Young Master, stop gifting."

"With this money, you might as well save it to buy some pork ribs for soup to nourish your body."

"Today's three fortunes are done, they are done; the rules cannot be broken."

As Su Yun spoke, he pulled a sheet of white paper from under the table.

He also casually grabbed a black marker.

"However, since everyone is so enthusiastic, before I go, I will ramble a bit more."

"Consider it a summary of tonight's three fortunes."

Su Yun pulled off the pen cap, his wrist hovering over the paper, pausing slightly.

Then, with vigorous strokes, he swiftly wrote three large characters.

The characters were not particularly beautiful, but they were powerful and vigorous, exuding a sharp edge.

[ Infatuation ]

[ Blindness ]

[ Greed ]

Su Yun held up the paper, facing the camera directly.

"Do you see these three characters?"

"Tonight's three destined people correspond exactly to these three characters."

Su Yun extended a finger and pointed at the first character, "Infatuation".

"The first, Zhao Xiaobei."

"For an online dating partner, he transferred 300,000 over three years, without even meeting in person, yet he dared to talk about marriage."

"This is not deep affection; this is infatuation."

"Self-moving dedication is nothing but a joke in the eyes of others."

"That Wang Dazhuang was definitely scamming him, but he was deceiving himself, which was the most fatal part."

"If he doesn't wake up, let alone 300,000, even 3 million wouldn't fill that bottomless pit."

In the comments, the viewers who were originally laughing and joking had stopped spamming.

"That hits home, bro."

"I used to be a simp too; after hearing Master Su's words, I feel like I've taken an arrow to the knee."

"Indeed, Zhao Xiaobei is a classic case of self-hypnosis; too foolish."

Su Yun ignored the comments and moved his finger down to point at the second character, "Blindness".

"The second, Sun Jianguo."

"His business was thriving, he thought he controlled the whole situation, and considered himself a winner in life."

"But in reality?"

"His spouse had been cheating on him for twenty years, raising three of someone else's children, yet he knew nothing."

"This is blindness."

"With his eyes fixed on the sky, he could only see the clouds above, but couldn't see the mud beneath his feet."

"Blind confidence and obsession with superficial vanity ultimately only result in working for others, ending up alienated from everyone."

When these words were spoken, many people in the live stream fell silent.

Sun Jianguo's situation was truly too tragic.

But as Su Yun said, if he hadn't been too overconfident and ignored his family, he wouldn't have been deceived for so many years.

Finally, Su Yun's finger poked heavily onto the third character, "Greed".

The force was so great that it poked a shallow hole in the paper.

"The third, Old Wu."

"He was originally just a petty thief, but after digging up a national treasure, he was overcome by greed."

"Fifty million."

"This number was truly tempting, tempting enough to make him lose his reason and raise the butcher's knife."

"To keep it all for himself, he killed two accomplices."

"And the result?"

"He didn't get to spend the money, and he lost his life as well."

"This is greed."

"The human heart is never satisfied, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant; if you can't swallow it, you'll just choke yourself to death."

After finishing, Su Yun picked up the red marker.

He viciously drew a large cross over the three large characters on the paper.

The red ink covered the black characters, looking shocking.

"Infatuation, Blindness, Greed."

Su Yun crumpled the paper into a ball and tossed it into the trash can next to him.

"If you touch any one of these three things, half your life is ruined."

"If you touch two, even the gods can't save you."

"If you touch all three..."

Su Yun chuckled, not finishing his sentence.

But everyone understood the meaning.

That means there is only a dead end.

The atmosphere in the live stream became somewhat heavy.

The mentality of just watching the show was gone, replaced by an indescribable sense of reflection.

Su Yun looked at the screen, his eyes softening a little.

"Alright, don't be so serious."

"I didn't tell you all this to lecture you."

"These three fortunes are actually three mirrors."

"They reflect them, and they reflect everyone present here, and of course, including myself."

Su Yun pressed his palms together and bowed slightly to the camera.

This gesture was done with perfect measure.

It didn't seem servile, yet it carried an air of transcendent mastery.

"All living beings suffer; only one can save oneself."

"Although destiny is determined by heaven, the choice of how to walk the path always remains in your own hands."

"Tonight's broadcast ends here."

"Everyone, good night."

After speaking, Su Yun didn't give the audience any time to react.

Nor did he, like other streamers, cry and beg for follows and gifts.

He reached out directly and decisively clicked that red "End Stream" button.

Click!

The screen went black.

The live stream, which had just been lively with over a hundred thousand people online, suddenly went silent.

The room returned to silence, with only the computer's cooling fan humming.

Su Yun leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath.

That air of an expert completely collapsed the moment the stream ended.

He reached up to rub his temples, a trace of exhaustion appearing on his face.

Pretending to be a master is really physically demanding.

Not only does your brain need to work fast, but you also have to maintain the facade; it's more tiring than moving bricks.

However, tired as he was, the harvest was quite astonishing.
