He’d rented it after graduation and lived there throughout his internship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near the university district in Chengdong, it was a cheap urban village apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rent was eight hundred yuan per month, a single room, with one month’s deposit and three months’ payment upfront.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The landlord was a stingy, petty man—he’d divided a standard three-bedroom apartment into four tiny rooms, then added another bed in the living room for rent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five people crammed into a single forty-square-meter apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to top it off, no air conditioning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But recently, only Chen Yan and the neighbor in the adjacent room were home; the other three tenants were either working overtime or on business trips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at his place, exhausted, Chen Yan threw himself onto the bed—but didn’t immediately fall asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forced himself to sit upright, cross-legged, and circulate Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Chen Yan confirmed his suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His surrounding Qi had increased slightly since before boarding the plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The increase wasn’t huge, but it was clearly greater than his normal daily cultivation gain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Chen Yan’s estimate, this single boost equaled three days’ worth of regular practice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a genuine surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan immediately pulled out his secret manual, flipping through it repeatedly—but found no description of this unusual phenomenon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning, he sat on the bed, pondered for a while, then reluctantly gave up trying to figure it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he couldn’t understand it and the manual offered no explanation, he’d just set it aside for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, increased strength was never a bad thing, was it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, he flipped again to the section on strange arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He skimmed through the techniques listed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, with his low Qi, he could only use the simplest technique: [Opening the Heavenly Eye].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan decided to try something slightly more advanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the girl’s overwhelming misfortune on the plane, he felt a spark of inspiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luck? That sounds interesting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, this technique might be worth trying… Chen Yan stared at a particular passage in the manual…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>·\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At around three in the morning, angry shouting came from the neighboring room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noise jolted Chen Yan awake from his meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning, he glanced toward the wall. At this hour, shouting so loudly? Probably some gamer yelling at his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan didn’t bother confronting him—first, he’d already slept enough and wasn’t truly angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, he’d tried this before; talking to such people was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reasoning with them didn’t work—anyone with real manners wouldn’t be making noise at this hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beating him up? He’d seriously considered it before, but back then, he’d just graduated and found a job—he didn’t want trouble reaching his grandmother back home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with people like this, either don’t act at all, or act decisively enough to scare them permanently—or eliminate the threat entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you can’t do that, don’t waste time on them—just lie low for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan called this approach: Either don’t do it, or do it right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His university classmates had a different name for him: A dog that doesn’t bark bites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, so at school he had a nickname: Chen Xiao…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>·\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan, in slippers, stepped out and went into the kitchen, lit the stove, and made himself a bowl of instant noodles, thinking about the million yuan sitting in his bank account…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately splurged on two eggs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating his fill, he began planning his first move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this cramped, shabby rental room, he thought: He needed to move out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he had money now—he didn’t need to suffer like this anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eight-square-meter single room had barely enough space for a bed and a desk; no air conditioning, and the water heater was broken half the time—it was nearly winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan had no interest in taking cold showers in freezing weather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, he planned to seriously practice the manual left by the Old Grandma, and he needed privacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>·\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dismissed the option of returning to his hometown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rural life was inconvenient, and Chen Yan had lived in the city for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suffered from the urban youth syndrome: [Wi-Fi + Food Delivery].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no food delivery in the countryside, and setting up Wi-Fi was a hassle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And most importantly: in the countryside, there is no privacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the city, people are coldly distant; they shut their doors and may never speak to their neighbors again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the countryside, that won’t work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the countryside seems sparsely populated, in any given village, more than half the people are related by blood or marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the day, no one locks their doors; anyone can walk straight into another’s main room for a visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone in your house keeps their door tightly shut all day, it draws attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>·\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve had enough! If you have money, you should treat yourself well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan decided: today, he would find a new place to live!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Chen Yan carried his bowl back to the kitchen. Even standing in the kitchen, he could hear the neighbor’s curses growing louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan thought… since he was moving out anyway, couldn’t he stop enduring this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he give the guy a little something today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was thinking, the neighbor’s door slammed open. A male tenant, around thirty, stormed out cursing, poured himself a glass of water in the kitchen, then glared at Chen Yan as if still furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you staring at?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man stood there, gulping down the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan smiled, showing not a trace of anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the “Fate Cycle” and the Heavenly Eye, he examined the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, this guy’s fortune has been decent lately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan walked over with a smile: “Brother Wang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he extended his hand, concealing a faint thread of primordial Qi in his fingertip, forming a peculiar finger seal, and lightly tapped the man’s shoulder three times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?” The man raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing. There’s ash on your shoulder,” Chen Yan replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man glanced suspiciously at Chen Yan, saw nothing unusual, and turned back to his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slam. The door shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>·\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fate Severance Technique!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan had spent two hours tonight successfully mastering this novel technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By forming a specific finger seal and channeling primordial Qi into the fingertip, one can brush away a thread of another’s fortune, turning good luck into misfortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advantage: it strikes unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drawback: its power is weak, and it only works when the target’s fortune is favorable—meaning it can only turn good luck into bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the target’s fortune were like that girl on the plane, cloaked in dark clouds,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it would be useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cost: it consumes about three times the primordial Qi needed to activate the Heavenly Eye once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>·\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan returned to his room satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That neighbor of his should suffer some misfortune in the next few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing major, but losing a bit of money or getting a minor injury was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>·\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Two chapters today—completed!
