The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 375: Courtesy first, then attack
"A coincidence, it must be a coincidence!"

"That's right, if we hadn't gotten incredibly lucky, we wouldn't have been able to find the perfect one every time we dug!"

"The Divine Calculation School went extinct a thousand years ago. Even the current Nalan family only possesses a fraction of their abilities. The young people these days are too ostentatious!"

……

Those who had witnessed Yunran's divination abilities felt an overwhelming sense of embarrassment upon hearing the comments from those around them. Their toes seemed to be digging into the ground, and their faces flushed. They wished they could stay at least ten meters away from them.

Yunran headed alone in another direction, her destination a reef near the sea, which she was almost at.

Suddenly, she turned her head towards the sea and her eyes met those of a sea turtle whose head had just emerged from the water.

Yun Ran was immediately delighted. Wasn't this the giant sea turtle that Xin Fu had released before? It had come looking for her again so quickly.
If she weren't wearing a camera, and if she didn't want everyone to know that she could communicate with these sentient beings, she would definitely be cursing them out by now.

The sea turtle, realizing that Yunran had seen it, awkwardly submerged its head in the water.

Now that these people have released it, it is even more certain that these people are the 'good friends' its companions mentioned before.

Its courage immediately grew, especially when it saw Yunran walking towards the seaside, it curiously followed to take a look.

However, it only intended to come over quietly, but unexpectedly, it was discovered by Yunran, which made this socially awkward baby turtle immediately shy.

【Ahhhhh... What should I do? She saw me! How embarrassing...】

Yunran: ...

Sometimes, she also felt that being able to hear these voices was actually not a good thing.

Speechless, Yunran ignored the giant sea turtle, took out her peach wood sword, and swung it out.

It's absolutely impossible for her to use brute force to pry open the rocks bit by bit.

A sword aura flashed, and the seemingly impenetrable reef was sliced ​​open like a block of tofu.

The sword energy unleashed was not wasted at all; it was completely exhausted after colliding with the reef.

Not a single drop landed on the sea surface, nor did it harm any innocent creatures in the sea.

After the reef shattered, a folding fan that looked somewhat like a work of art appeared before Yunran's eyes.

Reaching out to pick up the folding fan, Yunran realized that it was quite heavy, although she couldn't yet tell what it was made of.

But it didn't seem to be any ordinary stuff, which improved Yun Ran's mood considerably. At least, the people on the competition committee weren't too stingy.

"Miss Yun, we've found everything!"

Xin Fu and the others also rushed over at this time, holding boxes in their hands, their eyes full of reverence.

Yun Ran glanced at Xin Fu and waved her hand dismissively: "The contents of this box are yours!"

The three young men from prominent families who had been forced to follow were immediately wide-eyed with surprise. They hadn't expected Yun Ran to be so generous.

Xin Fu was also slightly shocked. From the beginning, he had never thought of taking away the resources that belonged to Yun Ran.

Moreover, he had already decided on his stepping stone position.

Now that Yunran had so generously given him the item, Xin Fu's grievances—from over twenty years of hard work and constant struggle to make ends meet—were magnified infinitely.

So this is what it feels like to have a mountain to lean on. If he had known earlier—oh no, if he had taken a shortcut—he wouldn't be able to stay by Yunran's side now. Thinking about it this way, all the hardships he had endured were worthwhile. It was because of his past perseverance that he was worthy of this position.

"Thank you, Miss Yun."

As he spoke, Xinfu gripped the box tightly in his hands with all his might, as if it were not just an object, but a new beginning in his life.

Seeing the deep envy in the eyes of the other three, but not a trace of jealousy, Yun Ran's gaze towards them immediately became much more agreeable.

"When we find other items, we'll give one to each of you as a gift."

But let me make this clear: you can choose not to participate, but if you dare to upset me, I'll throw you all into the sea!

None of the three were fools. Although their talents were slightly inferior to those of geniuses, they would still be considered outstanding individuals by others if they went out into the world.

They understood Yun Ran's words: it was all about being polite first, then resorting to force. If they didn't cause trouble, she would give them some benefits.

But if they continue down this path, then Yunran will have to take action against them.

If these words had been said before, they would have scoffed at them, thinking, "What arrogance! How could someone say something like that?"

But now, they believe it, and they are absolutely convinced.

The three exchanged glances, and in the end, they shamelessly chose to be pragmatic. They had no choice; they were not the kind of people who would rather die than submit.

Besides, they don't have any life-or-death feud with Yun Ran. Moreover, the current situation isn't that they don't want to upset Yun Ran, but that they can't.

They didn't think Yun Ran was just threatening them casually; they thought she really would throw them into the sea.

"have you understood?"

The three nodded hurriedly, as if pounding garlic. They didn't want to be so cowardly, but they had no choice; Yun Ran's tone was too oppressive.

Xin Fu was not at all surprised that Yun Ran had forced the three of them to obey.

However, he will not let his guard down and will keep a close eye on them.

Yunran then turned her gaze back to the folding fan.

The rock was located in a position where it could be covered by the waves, and the folding fan was also covered with a lot of seawater, but it was not affected at all.

As we all know, seawater is highly corrosive. Any object that is soaked in seawater for a period of time will definitely be damaged.

Unfolding the folding fan, Yunran then saw that the pattern on the fan surface was not painted on, but carved on.

The patterns on it are not ordinary landscapes, birds and fish, but patterns composed of ancient characters.

Since she wasn't originally from this small world, and the original owner was just a high school student, Yun Ran really didn't have any impression of these words in her mind.

She fanned herself gently, and the wind was quite strong, which made Yunran somewhat satisfied.

"Although I didn't recognize what it was, it's quite practical. If this were in a period drama, it would definitely be a cool gadget!"

Xin Fu turned his head and looked over, but he couldn't see anything special about the fan.

The other three thought Yunran would ask them, since they all came from families with a long tradition of learning and would surely know.

As a result, Yunran quickly put away the fan and stuffed it into her back pocket.
