Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2497 Weather Forecast
But I didn't even say when.

To be honest, the receptionist's response to the difficult customer was quite appropriate.

Even the heavens were on your side, granting your wish to come true.

To be fair, the weather at this time may not have much to do with what the customer wants to do.

"Indeed, the weather doesn't look too good, that's a real shame."

However, he did not point out the logical flaws in the end. His gaze fell on the window, and at that moment, Fu Qian actually stood up.

The ever-changing landscape of Moore's Law is vividly demonstrated at this moment.

It was no exaggeration; in the blink of an eye, the beautiful evening had vanished, and visibility plummeted.

The sudden gust of wind made the top-floor office feel even more precarious and insecure.

"Unfortunately."

The unpleasant guest was sent away with just one sentence. The receptionist was almost pleasantly surprised at that moment, but at the same time, she was very skillful and didn't say anything more to avoid causing any further trouble.

"So how did you know that? It's said that no one can predict the weather in Moore."

Unfortunately, it couldn't be avoided. Fu Qian seemed to remember something, paused for a moment, and asked.

“It’s amazing… but I just know it, or it could just be a coincidence.”

The receptionist hesitated for a moment before responding, but still chose to do so.

"Understood, thank you for your hospitality."

Fu Qian finally looked satisfied and turned to walk ahead alone.

……

Small and unassuming, yet possessing exceptional weather forecasting skills.

This secret hideout is even stranger.

However, considering how openly the front desk has revealed its forecasting capabilities, it doesn't seem like there's any need to keep it a secret.

"What's the point?"

Although he didn't call out to the Tooth and Throat Layman, the latter still caught up very quickly.

And his face remained tense the whole way, and he couldn't help but ask questions once he was a little safer.

"They can't possibly not be suspicious, and might even be aware that they've been exposed, increasing the risk of them fleeing. You even specifically brought up a place like the Ash Sea?"

It's obvious that people are different, and it's hard for her to experience the joy of receiving something before making a payment.

"What do you mean by 'nonsense'? I am genuinely interested in this kind of business."

Before proceeding, he first corrected the last point, indicating that he was genuinely paying close attention to the Ash Sea route of the two major groups—he had even used the service once.

"Besides, are you sure what you're saying won't give you away? That lady can even manipulate the weather from that far away."

However, he didn't dwell on that point. The next moment, he asked in return, implying that the other party seemed a little anxious.

"what--"

The man with the tooth and throat looked like he almost couldn't resist turning around to look, but he managed to control himself at the last moment.

"Wasn't that just a coincidence? Is the change in weather related to that woman?"

The two of them had already reached the ground, but she still unconsciously lowered her voice.

Have you encountered any purely coincidental events recently?

Fu Qian was too lazy to explain, and just glanced at her.

……

Until she met up with Laurie and the others, the Tooth-Throat Laywoman remained silent. Clearly, her recent experiences had left her unable to give a definitive answer.

All the thrilling struggles, the perilous situations, or the narrow escapes from the brink of death, in the end always seem to reveal some ethereal and sublime shadow.

They even devise elaborate schemes from a superior position, creating various subtle coincidences—something greedy individuals themselves frequently do.

"They should already be on alert."

Of course, after reuniting with the person in charge, the Tooth and Throat Hermit instantly regained his speech and quickly recounted his previous experience.

"And then you were just allowed to come back like that?"

As it turns out, Laurie's position wasn't solely based on seniority; he immediately grasped the key point, his expression turning strange.

"Yes, it certainly looks like no one is following us."

Because of the reminder before payment, Lu Chihou Jushi reviewed the second half of the passage many times, even deliberately going around in circles, and now he answered with certainty.

"What do you think they are doing?"

With a slight nod, Laurie turned to Fuqian, seeking his opinion.

"It looks like they're manipulating the weather?"

Fu Qian then gestured towards the outside.

In the short time that followed, the entire city of Moore had truly fallen into night ahead of schedule, and the storm was no less intense than the previous one.

Combining the description that the Tooth and Throat Hermit had just given to the receptionist, it made Fu Qian's words seem quite familiar.

……

"I have to admit that it's undeniable that they seem to be being too low-key."

Despite his clear reasoning and evidence, Mr. Laurie remained silent for a while before finally speaking.

As mentioned earlier, he was more perceptive than the Tooth-Throat Hermit and immediately realized the target he had been monitoring, his attitude being a little too mild.

As for the claim of weather manipulation, it's clear he doesn't really believe it, although logically it's not so easy to disprove.

"Or perhaps I'll predict the weather, and then, under your pressure, subtly demonstrate it to intimidate you into backing down?"

There was no need to rush to disprove it. The old man frowned as he tried to offer another explanation.

"That's certainly a milder way of putting it."

Before paying, he was very polite and immediately said that this explanation made more sense.

After all, compared to a player who is not even at the intermediate level, being able to manipulate the weather in Moore at will, that place is actually an observation station, using some kind of method to make weather forecasts, which is indeed much easier to imagine.

The old man's line of thinking was also correct. The weather forecast results were of course classified, but the time for declassification was approaching, and the person who came to him clearly had ill intentions.

In this situation, showing a little bit of your talent and then voluntarily leaving is indeed an option worth considering.

"A storm is coming, so we can't accept your sea voyage request." This crude logic has been criticized before. It's unlikely that such a sentence will drive away an unpleasant customer, but it's certainly good as a show of force.

The risks involved are simply the current situation.

Their motives and their capabilities were questioned to the point that the security of the infiltrators was compromised.

But don't forget that if we don't do this, there's a chance a fight could break out on the spot. Weighing the two options, it's clearly a necessary sacrifice.

Of course, there are still some doubts, such as how the unpredictable Moors predict the weather and why they need such a team... Upon closer examination, these questions are quite subversive.

"It seems they don't know anything about Gene."

However, after the prepayment approval, this was not mentioned; instead, another conclusion was given.

"It seems so, otherwise they wouldn't have reacted this way."

Laurie also sighed softly, seemingly relieved.
