Mrs. Pei really disliked these kinds of superstitious things, not to mention that the talisman paper had an unknown origin.

After tearing it up, she told the servant to take it out and burn it, and then returned to the kitchen, warmed a cup of milk, and brought it to Pei Mengzhi.

Pei Mengzhi had shut the bedroom door and didn’t let the servant in.

Annoyed, he threw off his jacket, sat in front of the computer, and logged into “Oracle" to raid a dungeon with his online friends.

While waiting in the queue, Pei Mengzhi browsed the forum.

At the top was this post:

[Who will claim the first kill in Dungeon 432? Place your bets!]

Pei Mengzhi wasn’t interested and closed it.

Just then, he entered the dungeon, and his friend started chatting with him, “Haven’t you heard? NINE is back.”

Pei Mengzhi was startled and exclaimed, “NINE?!”

“Yeah,” the friend replied, “Someone spotted him leveling up in the secret wilderness, and there’s a screenshot on the forum. It’s definitely NINE.”

Now Pei Mengzhi was excited and, without hesitation, placed a bet of one million yuanbao*.

*yuanbao is a type of in-game currency, typically used for transactions like purchasing items or betting.

In “Oracle”, the Eastern and Western factions had different currency systems, and the Eastern faction used yuanbao.

A thousand yuanbao equaled ten yuan.

Through the headset, his friend’s voice continued, “Don’t get too excited. NINE’s been gone for so long, and the game’s been revised so many times. With his current strength, he probably can’t even clear the first stage of the dungeon.”

One era, one god.

The era of NINE had long passed.

“He’s the reason I started playing Oracle in the first place,” Pei Mengzhi didn’t mind, “Oh, by the way, I experienced something really strange today.”

He went on to explain how Si Fuqing had given him the talisman paper.

“Dude, honestly, I think you’re just unlucky sometimes,” his friend paused, “Remember when we were studying abroad? You almost got hit by a flowerpot while walking, and in an exam, you missed passing by just 0.1 points.”

“And also, that girl confessed to you, but then boom! A truck came out of nowhere and broke your leg. You ended up in the hospital, and the girl vanished. You’re seriously unlucky.”

Pei Mengzhi had been listening casually, but suddenly his heart sank, and a sense of dread washed over him.

“Wait, keep going without me for a bit. I need to take care of something.” Pei Mengzhi stood up. “I’m going AFK for a while.”

Friend: “???”

Pei Mengzhi was about to go straight to find Si Fuqing and demand an explanation, but as he reached the door, he realized that he didn’t have her phone number or address.

Pei Mengzhi hurriedly flipped through his contacts and dialed the Zuo family’s landline, “Hello, this is Pei Mengzhi.”

“Brother Mengzhi!” A girl’s excited voice came from the other side, “Why are you calling?”

Pei Mengzhi was startled, “And you are...?”

“I’m Qingya!” Zuo Qingya shyly replied, “Brother Mengzhi, it’s so late, do you need something?”

“Oh, it’s you,” Pei Mengzhi said. “Do you have Miss Si’s phone number? Can you give it to me?”

“What?!” Zuo Qingya’s voice suddenly sharpened, “No! I can’t!”

The phone was slammed down.

Pei Mengzhi frowned. It seemed there was something complicated between Si Fuqing and the Zuo family.

He thought for a moment, then decided to sneak downstairs to steal the talisman from Mrs. Pei.

Just as he was crouching down, a voice came from behind him.

“Stop.”

Pei Mengzhi froze.

“Still looking for your talisman?” Mrs. Pei said coldly, “Don’t bother. I burned it. I already told you, if you want a talisman, go to the temple tomorrow and ask Master Miaoguang for one.”

“Mom, you’re unbelievable!” Pei Mengzhi was furious. “That was given to me by someone else!”

“It’s exactly because someone else gave it to you, I burned it.” Mrs. Pei said, unbothered. “Who knows if it’s something dirty meant to harm you? I’m doing this for your own good. You wouldn’t understand.”

Pei Mengzhi clenched his fists, unable to hold back any longer, and shouted, “Do you want to watch your own son die before you’ll be happy?!”

Mrs. Pei was stunned, speechless.

A few seconds later, she came to her senses, shaking with rage. “When did I ever say I wanted you dead? Listen to yourself! What kind of nonsense are you spouting?”

“I’m your mother! How could I harm you?!"
