Chapter 232 232. Divination Results
He changed his appearance through the [Orb of Deception] and walked aimlessly on the street with his hands in his pockets.

After avoiding the gazes of those who were secretly observing him, Mo Hao continued to wander around like this.

It’s not quite right to say that he was strolling around. It would be more accurate to say that he was getting to know the surrounding environment so that he would know how to move when he needed to escape or be intercepted.

as well as……

How to avoid unnecessary troubles.

Although the student handbook contained a generally accurate map, Mo Hao also discovered some minor problems.

That is, some of the side roads, alleys, and passable gaps between buildings are not shown on the map in the student handbook.

Some roads can only be known by walking them once to know where they lead.

"How long has it been since the map in the manual was changed?"

When he discovered for the third time that the building marked as a bungalow in the manual had turned into a building with forty or fifty floors, Mo Hao realized that the map in the manual had not been updated for more than ten or twenty years.

Otherwise, there is a strong trend of illegal construction in Infinite City, so there must be a problem somewhere.

Continuing to move forward along the direction of the map, Mo Hao could only hope that the map was generally accurate, such as the location of the materials market.

When they arrived at the destination, this time the map was not wrong. Mo Hao walked around and randomly found a store to go into.

The clerk was looking at the computer. He felt a customer coming in and greeted him without even looking up. "Welcome, what can I do for you?"

"Evening primrose, silver pollen, dragon tooth leaf... This is the list. How many do you have?"

"Basically, we have everything, and the quantity is sufficient. However, we don't have things like ghost powder and piranha teeth. You can go out and walk straight for 100 meters and then turn left. That store should have what you want."

"Then pack up all the available quantities for me and send them to this address."

After paying the money and leaving the name of the hotel, Mo Hao followed the clerk's instructions and came to a store.

The door of the store was open, so I walked in and pushed aside the gauze curtain. The lighting inside was soft and dim, and the air was filled with a very comfortable aroma.

The decoration inside the store is very simple. Apart from the sofas for the guests to sit on, there is only a set of tables and chairs, and a crystal ball placed on the tables and chairs, whose effect is unknown.

"Is there anyone?"

"Someone." A hunchbacked old woman came out, dressed in plain black and wearing a black hat with a black veil covering her face. "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Ghost powder, piranha teeth... This is the list of materials. Someone told me that you can get these things here."

"Sir, this is a fortune-telling house, not a material store."

The old man looked at Mo Hao helplessly, then sighed, "Forget it, since Xiao Lin introduced you here, if the quantity is small, I'll give some to you."

As she spoke she shook her head and sighed. She knew that Kobayashi meant well by introducing customers to this store that didn't seem to have much business.

However, her fortune-telling shop has not been opened many times, but people often come here to buy materials, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

In the past month, this store has had people introduced by Xiao Lin coming to buy all kinds of strange and exotic materials every now and then, but it has not been able to sell even a single divination business.

The old people were wondering if the environment here was bad, or if it was too good. There was a lot of business, but it was not the main business. "All these materials are available. If the customer wants them, I will give you a divination service as a gift."

The old man rolled his eyes, and while selling the materials, he also gave away the divination business.

She was not short of money. Rather than doing business in materials, the original purpose of opening this store was to tell fortunes for people and have some fun with it.

Since the guests here intend to buy materials, we can also provide a divination service for free. At worst, the account book will record that the divination service was sold with some materials as a gift.

In this way, the main business is completed and the account books look good.

Mo Hao did not refuse. At the same time, he was also a little curious about the so-called divination. Divination in Infinite City was not a trick to deceive people, but a serious course, and even had the ability to predict the future.

It is impossible to say that there is no curiosity about fortune-telling, which claims to be able to predict the future and even has confirmed cases of knowing the signs of major disasters in advance.

Sitting on the chair, the old man's back was straight, and there was an inexplicable aura on his body.

"Put your hand on the crystal ball."

When Mo Hao placed his hand on it, the old man recited a few obscure spells, and then the crystal ball began to glow.

Looking at the crystal ball that was about the size of a rubber ball and emitted fluorescent light, Mo Hao suddenly had an idea in his mind for some reason. Could this thing suddenly explode?
Before Mo Hao could express his concerns, the old man looked at the crystal ball and began to interpret it:
"Well, let's take a look at your future first. It will be safe and peaceful. You will meet many friends who will treat you kindly."

“Although we haven’t achieved any significant success, no disaster has occurred either.”

"Ah, what a pity, I don't see a partner beside you, it seems that the red thread of fate does not favor you."

The divination was completed very quickly, but Mo Hao just listened to it casually and didn't take it seriously.

He was curious about divination, but he didn't completely believe in it. After all, it was just a gimmick used by a store in the material market to sell materials. If you really believed in it, you would be stupid.

Shortly after Mo Hao left with the materials, a light screen suddenly appeared in front of the old man.

On the screen was a woman with glasses and long chestnut hair. She took a look at the surroundings and immediately determined where the old man was. "Principal, the high-level meeting is about to begin, and you sneaked out to tell fortunes for others again."

"As long as I'm not late for meetings, it's fine. I've been busy teaching divination all day, but I haven't met many talented people. It's good to come out and have some fun."

The chestnut-haired woman looked helpless. "As a top astrologer, you can't tell fortunes for people casually. Doing so will directly determine other people's fate to a certain extent. Humans need your divination to accurately locate various disasters and the appearance of the Great Void Realm."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I didn't use any real skills, and I didn't interfere with other people's fate. And it will only happen once in ten thousand times that the divination result is completely opposite. If that happens, my crystal ball will explode and tell me that the divination is completely opposite."

As he spoke, the old man pointed to the crystal ball the size of a leather ball.

Suddenly, the chestnut-haired woman's eyes widened, and she saw that the crystal ball suddenly had many cracks, and the internal energy began to become unstable.

then……

boom!
It exploded violently, with fragments embedded in the surrounding walls. The old man looked a little embarrassed, but was not injured.

"Well, it seems that I got the exact opposite result from my divination just now."
