Chapter 141 Star Ring
On the main road of the south city, Ling Chuan, who was traveling at high speed, took out the cat's eye jade.

Originally, I acquired this item only for future convenience, but now I have the opportunity to use it ahead of time.

【Cat's eye jade with an unusual odor】

Category: Special Items

Note: This item was acquired by village chief Zhou Changtian by chance. He habitually hid it in his crotch, and over the years, the scent of it became intertwined with his body.

Status: Cannot be traded, cannot be discarded, cannot be dropped, cannot be sold, cannot be bound to an owner.

……

Selectively ignoring the description text, Ling Chuan lightly gripped the cat's eye jade, and the only option, "Destroy Item," popped up.

Destroy the items!

[Ding] System notification: Confirm destruction of item [Cat's Eye Jade with Strange Odor]?
Sure.

boom!
The cat's eye jade shattered and disappeared into the air in a flash. However, in the palm where the cat's eye jade disappeared, a rhombus-shaped crystal the size of a thumb took its place. It was crystal clear on the outside and sparkled with starlight on the inside.

[Ding] System notification: Congratulations on obtaining the hidden item [Star Essence Stone].

That's right, this is the true face of the cat's eye jade. When he first obtained this item, he kept it in his hands for a long time, looking at the item information over and over again, but he could never find any clues to use it. It wasn't until one day when he was classifying special items that he discovered a point that had been overlooked.

The way items are handled in the Divine Revelation Continent is relatively complicated, but no matter how complicated it is, it can always be categorized into six types: [trading], [discarding], [dropping], [selling], [destroying], and [recognizing a master].

Adding the prefix "cannot" creates a negative effect; the most common are "cannot be traded," "cannot be discarded," and "cannot be destroyed." Items with two or more negative effects are generally quite important, and the more negative effects they have, the more carefully they need to be examined, as they may even be related to a quest clue.

However, the Cat's Eye Jade's state is quite strange. It has five negative operation states, indicating that it has great value, but it lacks the "indestructible" operation. This is contradictory. Something important can be destroyed. If you think about it normally, you would think that this is a backup plan left by the designer to clear out your storage space. It means that if you can't find a use for it and are afraid of taking up storage space, you can use the "destroy" command on the item.

It sounds perfectly reasonable, and one would even subconsciously accept this usage and would not easily damage it.

But don't forget, what kind of existence is the Divine Revelation Designer? They're the kind of dog who will go all out to screw you over if they get the chance. You expect them to make room for you in your inventory and leave you a backup plan? Don't be ridiculous. If they weren't so inhumane, they'd probably rather give you a few inanimate objects to clutter your warehouse.

Therefore, considering both of these factors, he chose to take a gamble, and the result of that gamble was obtaining the [Star Essence Stone] and the [Fortune Teller Granny] quest he discovered during his main city raid.

Exploration techniques.

Star Stone

Category: Special Items

Description: An extraterrestrial object containing the power of the stars.

Status: Indestructible, non-discardable, and non-sellable.

……

The power of the stars represents divination and prediction, so whether you trigger the fortune teller's quest first or obtain the Star Essence Stone first, you will get clues.

Clutching the Star Essence Stone, Ling Chuan crossed the South City Crossroads, turned right at the armor shop, and disappeared into the deep alley.

Beneath her dark eyes, the fortune teller, wearing a wizard's hat, watched Ling Chuan rushing towards her with her fingers interlaced, revealing a professional smile.

"Welcome to the Divination Alley, please have a seat, guest."

Upon arriving at the stall, the fortune-telling old woman was very hospitable and guided him to sit down nearby.

Ling Chuan didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down opposite her.

"What would you like to have your fortune told, my guest? Is it about marriage, career, or wealth?"

Touching the crystal ball, it emitted a shimmering light, and the fortune teller inadvertently revealed her abilities.

Ling Chuan smiled and said, "This junior is not here to do divination."

The fortune teller paused, her brow furrowing slightly. "Not doing fortune telling? Then what do you want to do?"

Ling Chuan didn't keep them in suspense. He reached out and presented the Star Essence Stone, saying sincerely, "This junior is here to do business with you."

"Oh—oh oh—this is a Star Essence Stone!!"

She reached out to snatch it, but Ling Chuan snapped his fingers back, regaining his grip on the Star Essence Stone. He looked at the bewildered fortune teller with a smile.

Normally, guides aren't this straightforward; they usually trigger the quest first and then discuss the conditions. However, since he has prior experience with guides, he doesn't need to follow the old path. He might as well be straightforward, since he's in a hurry to make money.

"Bro!"

After regaining her senses, the fortune teller's eyes were full of eagerness, and she gave him a series of flirtatious glances, "As long as you can give me the Star Essence Stone, I can give you anything I have."

[Ding] System notification: Congratulations on triggering the unique hidden quest [The Fortune Teller's Transaction Request] (SS). Upon completion of the quest, you will receive her gift, including [Sacrifice for Dreams]. Do you accept?

Oh my god, Ling Chuan felt a chill run down his spine. It seems that being blunt has its downsides; even NPCs are becoming blunt. He quickly clicked "No" to maintain his sincere demeanor and continued, "No need for such a sacrifice; my request is very simple."

"Really?" The fortune teller looked disappointed.

[Ding] System notification: The difficulty of the task "[The Fortune Teller's Trade Request]" has been changed to (F). Completing the task will fulfill the trade conditions, which no longer include "[Sacrifice for Dreams]". Please confirm whether you accept.

Yes!
Accept it without hesitation. In other games, after such a reminder, he might consider it; but this is Divine Revelation. Those players (readers) who think the fortune teller is a beautiful woman in disguise, get ready for overwhelming pressure! Otherwise, why do you think completing a trading quest is an SS difficulty level? Or are you saying you don't want to try anymore?
[Ding] System notification: You have accepted the task [The Fortune Teller's Transaction Request] (F). Please propose your transaction terms. If the negotiation is successful, the task is completed and you will receive the task rewards as agreed. If the negotiation fails, the task fails, but you will not be penalized and can propose terms again.

"So what do you want?" The fortune teller returned to normal, transforming into a respectable businesswoman.

"The Divination Guild has a rule that only diviners who possess the [Star Path Power] item can open a shop. The reason why Grandma set up a stall here is precisely because she lacks the item. Otherwise, with Grandma's divination skills, you would have already been among the top tier, or even higher."

As a person from the future, she naturally had to utilize future knowledge. Ling Chuan stared at her, and sure enough, when she uttered the word "strength," the fortune teller was moved.

"Therefore, I would like to use this item as equity in exchange for 5% of your fortune-telling shop's profits. I wonder if you would be willing?"

The fortune teller stared at Ling Chuan in surprise, then uttered two bewildered words, "That's it?"

Ling Chuan chuckled, "That's already a lot."

The fortune teller seemed a little nervous. "Are you so sure this old woman can manage it well?"

"You might not believe it, but I can also do divination, and I can see an infinite future in you."

Just kidding. He knew better than anyone how booming the fortune-telling shop was after he completed his mission in his previous life. That 5% profit could generate at least 300 million in revenue for Chonghuang every month, which was equivalent to supporting Chonghuang. However, that was when Divine Revelation was at its peak. Now, it still needs time to settle down.

"Do you accept these conditions?"

The old woman had no reason to refuse.

She was a little embarrassed, but the truth was just as Ling Chuan had said. Without the power of the Star Path, she could only set up a makeshift stall in this alley, and she couldn't meet a single customer from morning till night.

The old woman accepted.

[Ding] System notification: Congratulations on completing the task [The Fortune Teller's Transaction Request] and obtaining the item [Shareholding Contract].

Equity Investment Agreement

Category: Contract Documents

Note: This is a cooperation agreement signed with [Diviner-Vina]. By holding this agreement, you will receive 5% of the revenue from [Vina]'s divination shop. This revenue will be settled monthly starting from the first day of business and will be distributed via email.

Status: Effective immediately; no negative actions can be performed.

Contractual Parties: [Past Life and Present Life] [Fortune Teller Vina]

……

"Alright, the transaction is complete. I should be leaving now. I wish you great success in your business."

After saying that, Ling Chuan made a move to leave, but then he saw Vina get up and call him back.

Ling Chuan thought to himself, "Here comes the important part."

Vina waved her hand and took out a star particle from the Star Essence Stone, fused it with the ring on her finger, and then handed it to Ling Chuan.

"I am truly unworthy of receiving only 5% of the profits. This Star Essence Stone possesses extremely abundant Star Dao power. I will use one-tenth of it to forge this Star Essence Ring for you, hoping it can contribute a small part to your adventure."

[Ding] System notification: Due to your generosity, you have received a gift from [Diviner Vina].

Ling Chuan gave him a "I really can't do anything with you" look and accepted the ring.

[Ding] System notification: Congratulations on obtaining the item [Star Essence Ring].

Some people stayed up all night yesterday waiting for me. Why don't you listen to me? Here, I'll add 700 words to this chapter to give you some energy. I'll write another chapter later, and then I need to update the Extreme Spirit Chaos Technique. I'm updating here, and they're urging me there. I'm updating there, and they're urging me here. I'm updating from both sides, and they're urging me from both sides. I'm exhausted!
