Chapter 79: The Opportunity to Get Rich Has Arrived

The increase in meal costs is a very serious problem for Mao Li Lan.

After all, over a decade of a frugal life has already instilled in her such good habits.

Yet the stomach cannot be treated lightly; when it gets hungry, it gives no face at all.

So she needs to consider whether she should work part-time on weekends in the future.

Since it's all food going into her own stomach, she still prefers using the salary earned from her hard labor to increase her meals.

Actually, regarding this issue, another worker who was working part-time that previous weekend faced the same problem.

"Money matters still need attention."

After finishing the daily routine of study and returning home, Ren Amamiya was also at home pondering the issue of money.

He didn't know if it was a kind of inheritance, but he felt that in his past life, he had little fate with money.

Even living in the cheapest accident apartment, because of food issues, it is hard to save money.

Ren Amamiya does not impose excessive strictness on himself regarding food.

He does not go to the extreme of forcing himself like those internet celebrities from the frugal circles, just to save some money.

So, the source of money still needs some thought.

"Should I divine? See if there is money that can be easily scooped up."

Now that he has obtained power, the way to get money can change slightly from his past part-time jobs.

Regarding the conditions of the apartment he lives in, there is truly nothing much to say.

Except for cases that have occurred, there are almost no other problems.

However, besides the living issue, he hopes eating can be a bit better.

With free time, he wouldn't need to go out to work, and could leisurely wriggle at home like a worm.

So, taking advantage of the free time, he can use divination to calculate his recent financial luck.

Taking out a deck of tarot cards bought before returning home, he simply shuffled and drew one card.

Ace of Wands, Upright Judgment, Upright World.

"Truly good news."

All three cards foreshadow the appearance of wealth and opportunities to get rich.

Divining in more detail.

A scene of revelation appeared in his mind.

By the riverbank at dusk, an abandoned building standing on the edge.

"An abandoned building? It feels like someone deliberately hid something over there."

"Hmm, it shouldn't be an illusion; someone must have hidden it over there."

Such things might not be common in other cities, but in Beika, such things are truly quite frequent.

It might be something a thief who stole something placed over there.

Ren Amamiya fell silent for a moment and continued to divine another question.

Upright Moon, Reversed Sun, Reversed Judgment.

"Hmm, indeed it is ill-gotten wealth."

"Hidden treasure, betraying a brother... betraying a brother after a successful robbery, wanting to monopolize the wealth alone."

An obvious result.

Continuing to divine about the guy who betrayed his brother and hid the treasure.

Eight of Wands, Seven of Swords, Reversed World.

"Greed has no good ending; because of greed, he was sent to jail by his brother."

"If that's the case, the police are searching for it now?"

"Since I can divine the location of the wealth, the police side probably hasn't found it yet."

As long as the police haven't found it, then him taking those things for himself is no problem.

If those treasures don't leak out easily, the problem isn't big.

Just need to be careful when fencing the goods; after all, when some things are lost, the police love to guard the places where they can be exchanged for money.

However, even so, it did not dispel Ren Amamiya's thought of embezzling this stolen money.

He doesn't know how much the treasure hidden by others is.

But colluding with companions to rob things and wanting to monopolize the robbed treasure alone, there should be at least 10 million yen behind it, right?

"Go check over there tomorrow."

The specific location was also divined.

Go check how much is hidden over there; hmm, best to hide himself.

The place where the treasure is stored doesn't need to be worried about.

The Source Tower can open the door to the Keyiba Sect at any time; just throw the found items inside then.

Then there is today's diary.

【Kaguya Sigong and Hayasaka, who just transferred, have indeed become the center of attention in the class.】

【This is not particularly unexpected.】

【They were VIP members of the student council at Shuchiin.】

【What truly makes me concerned is that Mao Li Lan took a sick leave today.】

【Hmm~ This makes me much more concerned than Kaguya and Hayasaka, who have already revealed their cards to me.】

【This should be the turning point of the story, and also where one can guess whether Mao Li Lan holds a diary.】

【Ah, there is one more thing that counts as a question I am quite concerned about.】

The matter of the date.

Yesterday, when Sonoko Suzuki came to the class, she was looking for Kaguya Sigong.
