Ring of Fate

Chapter 914 Ways to Make Money

A resurrected female corpse? Franca and the others were all shocked.

Last night, Lumian said that he intuitively believed that it would not be long before he and his companions would encounter the resurrected female corpse. But, they encountered it today?
"Where is it?" Janna asked in a low voice.

Lumian looked towards the escalator without showing any abnormality:
“In the supermarket.”

He did not turn around immediately to track the resurrected female corpse because Franka casually glanced at a corner of the ceiling and then looked around casually.

The first action was to remind Lumian that there were multiple cameras here, and the latter action implied that there were many people and mobile phones around. If you really do something, it will most likely be filmed into a short video, uploaded to the Internet, and become a hot topic. In that case, it is very likely to be noticed by Tianzun!

Although Lumian can use illusions such as "Mirror Maze" to affect cameras and mobile phones, the current scene is not what he expected. He has to chase all the way and it is impossible for him to use mirror magic every few steps.

That is, they lived in a relatively run-down area of ​​the old city. There were still many cameras on the main roads and at the entrances of various communities. However, there were no surveillance cameras in the quiet alleys where few people walked. Otherwise, Lumian's behavior of moving the body of the envoy Danitz would have been recorded long ago, and Franka would definitely have stopped him at that time, asking him to find a blind spot in the surveillance, take out the mirror, and step by step create a "mirror maze" before getting closer to the body.

When Ludwig heard the Godfather's answer that the resurrected female corpse was in the supermarket, his eyes lit up and he raised his short arms and said:

"Let's go after him!"

You've become a little smarter, you can even take advantage of this kind of thing! I didn't know for a moment whether you wanted to find an excuse to go into the supermarket to get food, or you thought that the female corpse should be more delicious... Franca muttered silently and cast her eyes on Janna.

Janna understood Franca's hint and said with a smile:

"We can't have too many people tracking. Anthony and I will take Ludwig back to the car first, and you and Lumian will go into the supermarket to look for him."

Ludwig's expression of expectation and desire froze on his face.

"Okay." Franca took out the car keys and threw them to Janna.

"I also want to contribute to the team..." Ludwig was dragged away by Janna before he could finish his words. His disappointment and pain were beyond words.

Franca turned quickly, took a shopping cart from the side, and pushed it towards the supermarket. Lumian followed beside her, his eyes naturally sweeping over the displays and rows of shelves.

While searching for the trace of the resurrected female corpse, Franka picked up something:

"Take that can of lard, and take some light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, MSG, and chili oil..." She ordered Lumian around without any hesitation, while she also kept putting some kitchen supplies into the shopping cart.

Cooking at home may take time, but it will save you a lot of money!
I can go to the frozen food wholesale market to buy some cheap stuff later. The only problem is that the refrigerator in the rental house is too small and can’t hold a few days’ worth of food.

You can buy things this way... For the first time, Lumian experienced the joy of picking up products by himself without having to find a salesperson, and he put a bottle of wine into the shopping cart with interest.

"This is cooking wine! Never mind, it's needed." Franca glanced at the regulars of this old tavern with amusement.

The two of them were chatting and laughing as they walked around the supermarket in a harmonious atmosphere, no different from other families shopping around them.

Under such disguise, Lumian and Franca confirmed the situation in every corner of the supermarket and found no trace of the resurrected female corpse.

"Maybe he has already gone out. Let's check out first." Franka looked at the dozen pounds of freshly made noodles and a ten-kilogram bag of rice on the top of the shopping cart, and was sincerely happy that she could save a lot of food money in the next few days.

Lumian nodded:
“We’ll take turns cooking after that.”

Franka smiled and patted Lumian's shoulder:

"I look forward to your craftsmanship."

During this trip, the two of them bought nearly 500 yuan worth of goods, among which the ingredients were basically large in quantity, filling and cheap.

After leaving the supermarket, Lumian and Franca took a quick look around but still did not find the resurrected female corpse.

Almost at the same time, Franka noticed a shop with the word "Lottery" written on it.

She suddenly had an idea and turned her head to look at Lumian, asking expectantly:
"Are your abilities 'Magnify Destiny' and 'Drive Destiny' still usable?"

“Of course.” Lumian turned his gaze towards the shop that Franca had just been looking at. “But at the level of Sequence 7, I can’t influence relatively critical and important destinies, unless the probability of them happening is already very high.”

A smile gradually spread across Franka's face, attracting the attention of several passers-by, both men and women.

"Let's go buy lottery tickets!"

She said this in a firm tone, with hidden joy.

Did he want me to magnify the fate branch where she won the lottery, or force fate to develop in that direction? Lumian already knew what lottery meant. In the past, Aurore would occasionally give him gifts in the form of lottery tickets on major holidays, with a 100% chance of winning.

“Let’s give it a try.” Lumian’s subtext was to buy less first, so that even if he was in Mr. Fool’s dream and fate’s interference was ineffective, he wouldn’t lose too much.

Franca rubbed her hands and walked towards the lottery booth with a bright and clear smile.

Before she traveled through time, she would buy lottery tickets worth a dozen or twenty dollars every week or two, purely for entertainment, but the returns never exceeded the principal.

Now, I am here with good luck!

She didn't buy lottery tickets like the Double Color Ball directly, but instead spent fifty yuan to buy some different versions of scratch cards.

As she paid and selected, Lumian's eyes took on a silvery-white color with black.

He extended his hand to Franca and put his arm around her shoulders like a couple, thereby completing his touch on the long river of fate.

The corresponding tributaries are amplified.

Franca twisted her body instinctively, not quite used to this kind of hug, especially in public.

But she quickly returned to her normal state and allowed Lumian to put his arm around her shoulders.

Her eyes lit up.

Scratch out the corresponding number!
This is worth 50 bucks!
While Lumian was paying attention to the various jackpot information announced by the lottery booth, Franca scratched all the lottery tickets and won a total of two thousand.

"Haha!" She laughed silently and triumphantly.

Finally made a profit!
Super powers are awesome!

After redeeming the prize, Franka said to Lumian in an unusually happy mood:
"I'm going to buy a few tickets for the Double Color Ball."

At this point, she lowered her voice:
"Don't worry about the fate of those who win the grand prize. It's enough to have a third or second prize."

Lumian nodded slightly.

Franca immediately thought of some numbers and bought 5 tickets.

As they walked towards the nearest elevator, Lumian asked Franka with a smile:
"Why don't you think about winning the first prize? I think the first prize is a lot of money, and you can win dozens of them at once."

Franka wrinkled her nose and said:
"Didn't you say that you can only influence the fate of those who are not critical and important at present? It is impossible to get rich overnight.

"Besides, even if you can really make me win, the final result may not be what I bought. 'Fate' has already been determined."

After complaining a few words, Franca asked with concern:
"Did you succeed in magnifying your destiny just now?"

Lumian laughed.
"No."

"...My money!" Franca blurted out, and then consoled herself, "Fortunately it's not much."

Lumian explained briefly:

"When you bought it, I realized that this was not a lottery that was drawn on the spot. The result would not be announced until several days later. The corresponding fate branches were numerous and complicated, with too many variables. I couldn't see clearly which one led to the winning fate. I could only choose the one with special features and magnify it. I didn't know what the final result would be.

“I can only pray for Mr. Fool’s protection.” Franka expressed her understanding.

Seeing that the elevator was about to arrive, Lumian looked around and asked thoughtfully:

“We are under surveillance, and the resurrected female corpse should be there too.

"Is there any way to check the mall's surveillance to see what she is doing here?"

"We are not the police. We don't have that power." Franca answered instinctively.

“Sneak in at midnight and look through it yourself?” Lumian suggested.

Franca said with a smile:
"The Major Arcanas told us to abide by the law as much as possible. Why do you always want to dance on the edge of breaking the law?"

“It’ll be fine as long as we don’t get caught.” Lumian smiled and said, “We can’t just call the police and let them investigate, right? Wouldn’t that just turn it into a confrontation between Mr. Fool and the Supreme? We need to use the police instead of relying on them.”

Franka thought for a few seconds and said:

"Let's see the situation tonight."

…………

Located in a rental house on the sixth floor.

Looking at Ludwig, whose head was buried in the bowl and whose chopsticks were constantly moving, Franca boasted to Lumian and the others with satisfaction:

"My cooking skills are pretty good, right?"

This child is easy to feed. He is satisfied with noodles, seasonings and a little minced meat topping. He doesn't have to go out for a good meal!
“That’s good, but I hope you know more than just noodles.” Lumian took a sip of the noodle soup and put down his chopsticks.

"I also hope your cooking skills are as good as you say." Franka responded with a smile.

Lumian was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed slightly.

He suddenly took out a mirror from his pocket. It was the mirror that hid the body of the God Messenger Danitz!

At this moment, a dull, pale palm was reflected on the surface of the mirror.

The hand was reaching out from the darkness towards the outside of the mirror.

Several black flames containing madness and violence suddenly condensed on both sides of Lumian, and they fell on the mirror like meteors.

With a slight explosion, the mirror suddenly broke into pieces, became entangled in black flames, and quickly lost its little spirituality.

There were continuous cracking sounds, and the mirror fragments fell to the ground, breaking into even larger pieces.

The pale hand no longer appeared on the surface of these fragments.

"The messenger of God has turned into a corpse?" Janna asked in astonishment as she looked at the scene.
