Ring of Fate

Chapter 934 Inquiry (Thanks to the Tea Cup Mushi for rewarding the Silver Alliance again)
Lumian took two steps back and sat on the waiting bench outside the classroom opposite.

He moved his fingers lightly and skillfully entered Anderson Hood's circle of friends:

“Yesterday: Other people’s failure is my success.

“August 8: Everyone has different talents, some are in language, some are in art, and some are just ordinary.

"August 8: My roommate actually died. He was game over in the game of life.

"August 8: Love is also a kind of war, the hunter can also reap, to Danitz.

"August 8: If you don't get angry, then others will get angry.

"...

"August 8: Friend, have you really read this far? Please respect privacy!"

Lumian continued to flip through the pages expressionlessly. There was nothing further to read. Then, he saw a familiar yet slightly different prompt:

"——Friends only show the circle of friends in the last month——"

Lumian laughed, put the phone to his lips, and sent a voice message to Anderson, briefly introducing himself to see if the other party would respond or if there was anything else to say in the conversation.

After sitting for another two minutes, he saw someone coming towards the front desk.

The man was wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans, and light-colored sneakers. His short black hair had been simply combed, his eyes were dark brown, and he wore a pair of half-frame light gold plain glasses. His facial features were soft and handsome, and he was carrying a black shoulder bag on his shoulder. He was the main target of Lumian and others' dream journey, Zhou Mingrui, the dream incarnation of Mr. Fool.

Lumian raised his head as if he heard footsteps and looked over.

He discovered that Zhou Mingrui and Gehrman Sparrow were more different now:

Both of them came from the original Zhou Mingrui, but their development directions are completely different, one leans towards a soft and handsome style, while the other emphasizes sharpness and coldness.

Zhou Mingrui noticed Lumian's gaze and followed his line of sight.

Lumian smiled and nodded.

Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment, not understanding why this stranger would greet him, but he still nodded politely.

Lumian withdrew his gaze and focused on the phone screen which had not yet been turned on.

He saw himself reflected on the black screen. Although he could be considered handsome, he was not handsome enough to be approached by a talent scout.

He used "lies" to lower his appearance in order to try to "fit in".

Zhou Mingrui looked at him doubtfully, then turned from his side and walked into the Business English classroom.

A few minutes later, the principal of Dream Tutorial School, Ai Nana, walked into the Business English class with a lesson plan, and a man wearing a flowery bow tie went to the Enlightenment English class across the street to serve as Anderson Hood's assistant.

Lumian looked up at the camera on the ceiling, and like most of the parents who were waiting in different areas of the corridor and occasionally looking out the classroom windows, he started playing with his phone.

A few parents who knew each other started chatting:

"Our Zi Han can now have conversations in English."

"Really? We started the enlightenment class too late, and we are still trying to learn."

"Look at that kid, he never stops talking."

"Maybe it was the first day of class. That's right. Our Zi Han was a little uncomfortable at first. At this time, parents need to discipline him more."

"..."

Lumian turned a deaf ear to these words and focused on the photo of the frosted blackboard he had taken earlier, once again immersing himself in the conspirator's world of analyzing details.

From time to time, he would check local news and hot videos to keep abreast of the biggest changes in the Dream City.

The introductory English class took two breaks, and Ludwig took the opportunity to come to Lumian to replenish his food and heal his inner trauma.

The Business English class only had one break, but Lumian didn't try to talk to Zhou Mingrui. He just watched him go to the bathroom and come out quickly out of the corner of his eye.

The business English class ended ten minutes earlier than the introductory English class. Lumian stood up suddenly and blocked Zhou Mingrui's way.

He smiled and said:

"Hello, what do you think of this Business English class? I'd like to learn more about it."

Seeing Zhou Mingrui's puzzled expression, he further explained:

"I was originally taking my child to an introductory English class, but after listening to your business English class, I thought it was pretty good. I was thinking whether I should also sign up for a class to avoid wasting time waiting."

"Taking care of the children?" Zhou Mingrui asked subconsciously.

He looked up, down, left and right and felt that the man opposite him was much younger than him and looked like a college student.

You have a child already?

"Yes, my son," Lumian replied with a smile.

Son...a son who can attend an introductory English class...Zhou Mingrui suppressed the urge to twitch the corners of his mouth.

He has been in society for two or three years after graduating from college, and he doesn't even have a girlfriend. Yet, this man who looks like a college student already has a son who is four or five years old!

Does this mean he fell in love and had a child in high school?
Sure enough, good-looking people are youthful...

Zhou Mingrui said sincerely:
“Principal Ai’s teaching level is very high, but the business English class itself requires a certain foundation.”

He suspected that the young man across from him had dropped out of high school and got married, and had never been to college, so he kindly reminded him that business English classes require a basic foundation.

“I see…” Lumian nodded thoughtfully and said sincerely, “Thank you.”

He took a step back and did not ask Zhou Mingrui any more questions.

It’s your first time contact, so know when to stop!

Then we have to observe the subsequent changes.

Although Zhou Mingrui was curious, he would not go out of his way to inquire about other people's family privacy. He stopped at the doors of different classes and watched.

After a while, the English enlightenment class was over. Before Zhou Mingrui looked over here, Lumian stuffed a lollipop into Ludwig's hand and led him out of the Dream Tutorial School.

Ludwig looks to be seven or eight years old. If Zhou Mingrui saw him, he would definitely be impressed - the son is seven or eight years old, and the father looks to be in his early twenties. Someone in this family must have violated the law!

However, leaving a deep impression on Mr. Fool's dream image was not part of Lumian's plan for today, which was not conducive to his elimination of options.

After buying a bunch of steamed buns and pickled mustard tubers to fill Ludwig's stomach, Lumian had a normal dinner with the child and chose a cheap hotel to stay in.

He turned on the TV for Ludwig and blindly selected a cartoon. He then held up his phone and slid his thumb over Anderson Hood's WeChat profile picture.

In the end, he did not send another message to this "foreign teacher" who seemed to be able to perceive the essence of dreams, wanting to see if the other party would contact him actively and give him hints.

…………

Inside the rental house.

Although Franca was sitting on the bed and scrolling through her phone, her mind was not entirely on it. She was worried about the situation on Lumian's side.

Formal contact with Zhou Mingrui is likely to bring about bad changes!
Jenna did the same, pacing back and forth in the room from time to time.

Suddenly, Franka sat up straight, frowned and said:

“I always feel like I’ve forgotten something…

“Is this a reminder from my spiritual intuition?”

The next second, she quickly recalled what she had forgotten without using any divination methods:
"Yes! Today is the day when the Double Color Ball lottery is drawn!

"I forgot all about it!"

She quickly checked the results, her mouth opening wider and wider.

"Won?" Janna asked curiously and expectantly.

"I won... I won!" Franca was confused at first, then surprised, "I won more than 15 second prizes, with a total prize of more than ."

She rubbed her face immediately:
"Do I still have this luck?
"No, Lumian's ability to influence fate can have such an effect?"

"More than 15?" Janna was stunned.

The tight life these days made her very satisfied with a few thousand dollars, but this time it was over ten thousand, and it was in double digits!
Franka left the bed and paced back and forth:
"If I save up a little more, I can go to the Star Dream Grocery Store and rent those items that look extraordinary at first glance."

"Shouldn't you consider paying off the micro-loan first?" Janna reminded Franca.

"It's not the repayment date yet." Franka was surprised, but she also felt worried. "Will winning such a large sum of money be noticed by the lottery sales department? Will it attract the attention of the Heavenly Lord?"

Without waiting for Janna's response, she said:

"It's only a few hundred thousand. What's that? The guy who won the first prize had more than 500 bets, each bet was million! We just ate some of the leftovers that flowed out from other people's fingers..."

…………

Guests are welcome at the hotel.

Ludwig, who had eaten his midnight snack, had fallen asleep on the other bed. Lumian, with his eyes open and leaning against the pillow, stared silently at the dark screen and the room that was seeping in a little moonlight.

So far, Anderson has not sent him any message, and the direct contact with Zhou Mingrui has not caused any obvious abnormalities - his every move has not been restricted, and he has not been kicked out of the dream.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Lumian suddenly heard a loud thunder and saw that the night sky outside the curtains seemed to be illuminated by silver-white lightning.

Thunder rolled in and heavy rain poured down, not stopping all night until dawn.

Lumian did not sleep all night and greeted the day awake.

He turned on his mobile phone and saw a lot of news about where the water was rising and where the water was flooded. Some subway lines were also suspended today.

Is this a symbol? If so, what does it symbolize? Lumian stuffed Ludwig with a bunch of steamed buns and took him to eat noodles nearby.

He ordered noodles with pea sauce for himself and tomato and egg noodles for Ludwig.

The peas were stewed until they were soft and absorbed the sauce. Mixed with the noodles, they were fragrant and tasty. Lumian ordered two 200-ounce bowls, ate one and a half bowls himself, and left half a bowl for Ludwig.

After breakfast, he slowly took Ludwig back to the rental house by public transportation.

Seeing that Lumian and Ludwig were fine, Franka, Janna and Anthony breathed a sigh of relief.

Lumian smiled and said:

"The results of the preliminary experiment are that Zhou Mingrui, who simply came into contact with Mr. Fool's dream image during the day, did not leave a deep impression on him, did not attract the attention of the Heavenly Venerable, and would not be kicked out of the dream, or be restricted.

"Of course, maybe I was deceived, and Tianzun deliberately didn't deal with me, waiting for me to meet up with you, and then kick us out of the dream together."

PS: Thank you for the reward from the Silver Alliance again~
