My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

"Hey, Yuxiao, I'm at your doorstep..."

"Okay, okay, you can come in right away. I've shown your appearance to the security guards, they'll let you in. Oh, by the way, just come find me at the swimming pool in the backyard." Hearing Xiao Yulin's confirmation, Leng Yihan felt a sense of relief for some reason. She walked forward, and the security guards didn't stop her. One of them even helped open the gate.

"Speaking of which, is there a swimming pool...? They really are rich kids..." Leng Yihan thought to herself, then turned to the 'security guard' beside her and asked, "Um...sir, how do I get to your swimming pool? Your young lady wants me to go there directly to find her..."

“Come with me. You don’t need to call me big brother, just call me Uncle Xiao,” Uncle Xiao said. “Okay, Uncle Xiao, thank you for your help.” Leng Yihan bowed slightly to Uncle Xiao to express her gratitude.

Led by Uncle Xiao, Leng Yihan realized that the painting would probably take quite a while, so she began to admire the surrounding scenery. Although it was just a small manor… what the hell?! Why does this manor look so small from the outside but is so huge inside?!

"This uses space folding technology, which is a relatively new technology. It's been under research for a long time," Uncle Xiao explained, seemingly noticing Leng Yihan's shock and questions.

"Oh...I see...Wait a minute! Isn't that something that only exists in novels?!" Leng Yihan remained completely bewildered.

"Actually, many of the science fiction technologies in past novels can now be realized, but these technologies are usually very expensive, so not many ordinary people or wealthy people know about them. Only some truly powerful and influential families have access to them," Uncle Xiao said.

"Heh...hehe...indeed, it's the Xiao family..." Leng Yihan chuckled awkwardly, beginning to wonder if he and Leng Binglan should have let Xiao Yulin take the top spot on the God Ranking in the Heavenly Ladder Tournament, otherwise Xiao Yulin might just kill him one day...

During the short journey, Uncle Xiao kept talking to Leng Yihan about some of the high-tech products available at the moment. It wasn't until they were almost at the swimming pool that Leng Yihan came out of her shock—why did Uncle Xiao know so much?

"Looks like he's not a simple person... They both share the surname Xiao, so he's probably Yu Xiao's super soldier-type bodyguard..." Leng Yihan thought to herself. Suddenly, Uncle Xiao stopped and stepped aside. "The swimming pool is just ahead. Go ahead, Miss must have been waiting for a long time..."

"Thank you, Uncle Xiao." Leng Yihan nodded. As the two passed each other, Leng Yihan deliberately prepared a spiritual ability to keep an eye on the person in front of her.

However, this didn't happen in the end, and Leng Yihan breathed a sigh of relief. She walked down the path and soon saw the entrance to the swimming pool. For some reason, there was a door between the two places, and Leng Yihan could hear the girls' exclamations.

"Hey! Yu Xiao?" Leng Yihan didn't continue walking forward, afraid of seeing something terrible, so she called out first to let everyone know she had arrived.

"Oh, it's extremely cold. Come on in." After receiving confirmation from Xiao Yulin, Leng Yihan pushed open the door and went in. Sure enough, Xiao Yulin and Kang Meng were happily playing in the water.

Upon seeing Leng Yihan arrive, Kang Meng's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a blank expression as she stared at Leng Yihan.

Xiao Yulin turned around and swam ashore. Leng Yihan, knowing her place, covered her eyes with one hand first, and only put her hand down when she heard Xiao Yulin putting on his clothes.

"Tsk tsk tsk, so you're a pure-hearted boy after all, Ji Han." Seeing Xiao Yulin's trouble-making expression, Leng Yihan said nothing. This guy was someone she couldn't afford to offend; she had to endure it...

Xiao Yulin was currently wearing an oversized white shirt that covered more than half of her thighs; it would have been too big even for Leng Yihan. (After all, she's only about 1.6 meters tall, haha.)

"Where's the stuff?" Leng Yihan said expressionlessly. If he didn't act like this, who knows what kind of expression he would have? He didn't want to be seen as a pervert.

"Hey, hey, don't rush." ​​Xiao Yulin shook her finger. "What are you trying to do now..." Leng Yihan subconsciously took a step back, feeling a sense of foreboding.

"Don't forget, if you want something, you have to promise me one thing." Xiao Yulin took a few steps back, picked up a box, and handed it to Leng Yihan. Leng Yihan subconsciously opened it and looked inside... then immediately closed it.

"This thing is too valuable." Leaving aside its appearance, because the beauty of this bracelet is beyond words, and it's not even clear enough when looking at pictures. As the saying goes, please refer to the actual product for the best view. Most importantly, according to Leng Yihan's inaccurate senses, this thing even stores a spiritual power that can be released repeatedly. Just for this one thing, the price is probably far more than the 30 that Xiao Yulin mentioned before.

As expected of a wealthy family... they're so generous. The only price for this is that I agree to do one thing for them...

"It's alright, it's alright. Anyway, it's not mine. I just bought it because it looks nice... But, it seems you've discovered something even more surprising than its appearance... So, let me fulfill my condition now." After standing for a while, Xiao Yulin sat down under a parasol, since it was really too sunny.

"What are the conditions?" Leng Yihan also hid down; this damned sun was almost draining him dry.

"I want you to tell me everything you know about what you found in this bracelet and that thing. Of course, you can also keep some things about your privacy to yourself." Leng Yihan was somewhat surprised to hear Xiao Yulin's conditions.

"Is that all... Your family should know, right?"

“They definitely know, but they won’t tell me,” Xiao Yulin pouted in dissatisfaction. “So I have to find the answer myself.”

“…Alright, what do you want to hear first? I should state upfront that I’ve only recently come into contact with psychic abilities and don’t know much about them yet.” Leng Yihan sat cross-legged opposite Xiao Yulin.

"Oh, so it's called psychic ability... Kang Meng! Go get three bottles of juice, thanks!"

"Yes, Miss, Kang Meng will go get it right away!"

Why would someone from a parallel world pretend to be a maid...? What's the point? Leng Yihan glanced at Kang Meng, then gave up. Anyway, it wasn't his business anymore; let her do what she wanted.

"I don't know if it's called psychic ability; it's a name I came up with myself. Based on my observations... this bracelet seems to contain some kind of psychic ability that can be reused, but I can't quite tell..."

"Is it because we're too weak?"

“Yes…” Leng Yihan nodded helplessly. He had learned his spiritual abilities from his mother, who, according to her, taught him these skills to save his life…

Leng Yihan didn't want to complain about why his mother had such a thing, but he still accepted it, since he was still thinking about that strange organization.

"Anything else? Do you know anything else?" Xiao Yulin asked.

“Hmm… there are still some uncertainties, but they should all be supernatural abilities. I also want to ask you to investigate them.” Leng Yihan said without any worry. He believed that Xiao Yulin would definitely be very interested in these things as well. “There are actually quite a few supernatural organizations in our world, some positive and some negative. I don’t know about the positive ones, but as for the negative ones… I’ve already encountered one.” Leng Yihan smiled bitterly as he spoke, thinking of Cheng Tong.

"Is that so... Looking at it this way, you really don't know much." Xiao Yulin said with a hint of regret, seemingly not expecting Leng Yihan to know so little.

"Actually, I know quite a lot of things, but there are some things I can't say, and also... I'm afraid you can't accept them."

"Oh? What makes you say that?" Xiao Yulin's interest was piqued again upon hearing Leng Yihan's words. "For example... our world might be destroyed in our lifetime, do you believe it?" Leng Yihan hesitated for a long time before revealing this.

He wanted to use Xiao Yulin to investigate the spy that the Devilman had planted in this world. Although he might not be able to find him, he wanted to try first.

"..." Xiao Yulin didn't reply, but frowned deeply. "Are you serious about going?"

“It’s true, of course.” Leng Yihan nodded. I didn’t plan to reveal any more information to Xiao Yulin for the time being. “Coincidentally… my maid also once said that the dream world would be destroyed…”

"How can you be sure she's talking in her sleep, or deliberately trying to remind you?" Leng Yihan said. He was now pretty sure about Kang Meng's identity. Even if she wasn't a native of another world, she was still the child of some native of that world, after all, her self-healing ability was too strange.

Leng Yihan recalled the night they confronted each other. The pebble had scratched her skin, but instead of bleeding, the wound healed quickly.

"It seems Binglan has kept a lot of things from me..." Leng Yihan thought to herself. The two fell into a long silence until Kang Meng returned to the poolside with three glasses of juice.

"Miss, the juice is here!"

"Okay... thank you for your trouble, Kang Meng. Do you want the Extreme Cold?"

"Thank you... I'm so thirsty." Leng Yihan also picked up a glass of juice and drank it. She was indeed losing water quite quickly. The two of them were now tacitly aware of each other's thoughts.

"Young Miss, I'm..."

"Go ahead, whatever you like."

"Thank you, Miss!" Watching Kang Meng leave with a big smile, Leng Yihan couldn't help but interject, "You two seem to have a good relationship."

"Yeah, after all, compared to a personal maid... she feels more like my little sister to me," Xiao Yulin said. "By the way, who do you want me to investigate?"

“You can start by investigating some supernatural events. I know nothing about that group right now, so it will take some time and some methods to gather information about them,” Leng Yihan said.

"Ugh... I'm suddenly so annoyed! Knowing that the world will be destroyed or something, I always have this feeling of unease, it's so uncomfortable..." After Xiao Yulin finished speaking, she drank more than half a glass of juice in one go, it seems she was really annoyed.

"You don't need to worry about that. At least we'll be absolutely safe for a long time, probably thirty or forty years. During that time, we'll be absolutely safe and won't be destroyed no matter what." Leng Yihan told a little white lie, mainly to relieve Xiao Yulin of the pressure, since there were some things she couldn't reveal to her.

"Alright! I promise you, I'll start investigating later, even though my family will probably try to stop me." After saying that, Xiao Yulin took another sip of juice, feeling refreshed.

"Do you want to hear the rest?"

"No, no! I'm afraid my heart can't take it... You should leave now..." Xiao Yulin was on the verge of tears, but in the end, it was her own fault for courting death.

"Alright, I'll take my leave now."

"Goodbye~ See you at the Oracle tomorrow!" Leng Yihan got up, left the swimming pool, and returned along the same path. She hadn't walked far when she saw Uncle Xiao still standing in the same spot.

"Uncle Xiao, I'm leaving now."

"Alright, come with me, I'll take you out." Uncle Xiao led the way, with Leng Yihan following behind. He put the box containing the bracelet into Leng Yihan's pocket. At this moment, he was looking down, thinking about Leng Binglan's birthday tomorrow.

Well... I guess I need to think carefully about where to take Leng Binglan. Otherwise, she won't be so easily satisfied with just this bracelet. I need to plan it out properly...

After thinking it over carefully, Leng Yihan did not go home immediately after leaving Xiao Yulin's house. Instead, she strolled around the city center and roughly decided where to go for fun.

"Alright~ Now it's time to go home and get ready!"

108 Cold Blue's Birthday

August 14th was a day without divine pronouncements.

August 15th was a day without any divine pronouncements for half a day.

As for why... it's only because Oracle has an annual maintenance update that forces many Oracle players to stop playing.

At 8 PM, the entire Oracle server completed its update, with new modes, new characters, new maps, new storylines, and new weapons waiting for everyone.

Swordsmen and Lance Knights have had their PvP abilities weakened, melee Priests have been strengthened, all of the Mage's extra skills have been enhanced, Crossbow Hunters' PvE abilities have been significantly strengthened, the eight classes of the Netherworld series have been revealed, the new class Shuttler has arrived in Oracle, the level 80 area Wasteland has appeared on the main road of Oracle, and along with it has appeared the long-isolated level 80 main city Diyas.

The new mode – solo/team survival mode – has been revealed, with three difficulty levels: Normal, Hard, and Nightmare. The matchmaking mechanism for team survival is also slightly different. The minimum number of players in each game is the total number of players in the team, and the maximum number of players is six, with maps generated randomly.

To enter this mode, you need to return to a level 10 main city and enter the Dream City through a simple side quest called "Nightmare and Dream". From then on, you can directly enter the Dream City from any main city.

Aside from that, there's no further information about the City of Dreams; we'll probably only find out what's inside once we go in.

There's also an update to the ladder tournament mechanism. Each person only has five challenge opportunities, and the time has also been changed. The God Ranking time remains unchanged at 8:00 to 9:00, while the other three rankings have all been adjusted to the same time as the God Ranking.

Furthermore, the 5v5 ranked matches have been cancelled, and a new ranking system has been added to the ladder matches: the Team Ladder Ranking. This ranking has 20 players and is open from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Sundays. Each team can continue to challenge if they win a match, but cannot continue to challenge for the rest of the day if they lose a match.

Each team must have at least five players and at most six. The maps are all randomly generated, and rankings are based on points. Unlike the random map selection in ranked matches, this mode is more like a team match in a professional league.

The ranked matches have removed the 5v5 mode from the original 1v1, 3v3, and 5v5 modes, added a 2v2 mode, and improved the existing scoring mechanism. The more consecutive wins you have, the more points you gain, and the more consecutive losses you have, the less points you lose.

There are many more updates, which we will talk about later. Right now, we should talk about the sweet dog food of Leng Binglan and Leng Yihan... right?

"Brother! I want to eat that!"

"I want to eat this!"

"I want to eat..."

"Stop!" Leng Yihan pulled Leng Binglan back. They had only been at the food street for a dozen minutes, and Leng Binglan had already spent over a hundred yuan on a bunch of food. What's worse, she ate it all.

"Why are you eating so much... Aren't you afraid of getting fat?" Leng Yihan looked helplessly at Leng Binglan, who was happily eating, took out a tissue from her bag, and gently wiped the crumbs from her mouth.

"Um... Yihan, after I get fat... you won't leave me, will you?" Hearing Leng Yihan's words, Leng Binglan really stopped and looked at Leng Yihan pitifully.

"Alright, alright... Eat as much as you want, I won't abandon you no matter what. Today is your birthday, your happiness is the most important thing, okay?" Leng Yihan finally gave in to the little girl. She just couldn't bring herself to scold this kid, especially after they started dating...

"Yay! Brother is the best~" Leng Binglan hugged Leng Yihan tightly and kissed him on the cheek, making him blush. After all, they were in public, but in other people's eyes, they were just two very close sisters and best friends...

Anyway, Leng Binglan didn't have much fun in other places, but when it came to eating... she ate with great gusto and ran incredibly fast. Leng Yihan could only follow behind her, watching her lose weight for her wallet.

"Ouch!"

"Ugh..." But things still went wrong. Leng Binglan ran too fast and bumped into someone. The person screamed and fell to the ground, clutching their hand and screaming in agony with a contorted face.

"Ouch...ouch my hand...ouch...my hand..." Seeing this, Leng Yihan was speechless. She had come out to have some fun, and somehow she ran into a con artist...

"Ah! Big brother! How are you? Is your hand alright?!"

"Ouch, my hand! It's not even healed yet! How did it get hurt again... Ouch!"

Watching the two performers' exaggerated acting, Leng Yihan was speechless. She looked at Leng Binglan and saw that she looked flustered.

"Hey? Binglan, what are you afraid of?"

"I...I just...ran too fast...I think I didn't stop..." Leng Binglan said nervously.
