Chapter 128 The Substitute (2)

Lu Jinzhao seemed to be deep in thought; she had seen similar advice on the forum before.

Furthermore, based on her personal speculation, the "friendly" atmosphere at Yuncheng Station was likely maintained deliberately by the higher-level seniors. It's unlikely that the powerful figures at other stations intended for their stations to maintain a friendly atmosphere, or perhaps they simply didn't care.
One can imagine what the situation would be like at other stations.

"I understand." She nodded and briefly explained her situation.

"I just obtained my destiny, which allows me to control shadow puppets, but it's basically useless against ghosts because I'm still too weak."

I didn't say much, but I didn't lie either.

"It's alright." Qin Wan smiled. "Xiao Lu, just take good care of yourself."

"This mission is going to be quite troublesome," she said, sighing.

"It seems we need to arrange the transfer ceremony in advance."

As Qin Wan spoke, she took out a copper coin from the satchel at her waist.

A transfer ceremony?

That sounds interesting.

Zhou Ziming, noticing her curiosity, always took extra care of promising newcomers, especially rare ones like Lu Jinzhao who received a destiny on their first visit to the high-level platform. So he gave a brief explanation:
"Qin Wan's luck-changing ritual can help her concentrate or change her luck for a period of time. If she feels that the platform is too difficult, she will sometimes draw out the bad luck in advance to ensure that she uses up her bad luck in a relatively safe early stage, and then she will have good luck all the way."

So convenient
"Is it possible to switch other people's luck?"

Zhou Ziming nodded: "Okay, but under normal circumstances, don't ask Qin Wan to perform a luck-changing ritual for you."

"It's fine for Qin Wan to use it herself, but when others ask her to change their luck, she will charge them some money as a reward. This is something even she can't control."

It's no secret that even though payment is required, many people have sought Qin Wan's help to perform talismans to change their luck in crucial moments.

"Sometimes I'll contact her too. I studied Divine Strike, you should know that, right?"

Seeing Lu Jinzhao nod, Zhou Ziming continued, "It is said to be inviting a god to possess you, but in my opinion, it should actually be called inviting a ghost to possess you."

"Who I can invite, and how strong they are, actually depends on my own cultivation and luck."

"I see." Lu Jinzhao understood.

It seems that Zhou Ziming had completed a mission with Qin Wan before, and even had Qin Wan help him change his luck before using the Divine Strike, so that a powerful ghost could possess him.
Judging from this, Qin Wan's destiny is quite strong.

What will happen if her destiny continues to evolve?

Currently, people are charging fees for helping others change their luck. Will this eventually evolve into a situation where people can directly extract other people's luck?
Where are the ghosts?

Does the concept of luck exist among ghosts?
Just thinking about it, Lu Jinzhao felt that the power of this destiny was truly terrifying.

Luck, this thing is not a sword or a tangible object, but in some ways it is more lethal than these things.

Even casually, Lu Jinzhao could think of places where he would need to use "luck," such as when searching for materials for shadow puppets or when making shadow puppets.

"That's really impressive," she remarked with a slight sigh.

“Indeed.” Zhou Ziming nodded: “Qin Wan is a fairly well-known passenger on our platform. When people encounter her on the platform, they are more or less willing to lend her a hand.”

"After all, in terms of survival ability alone, her fate is sometimes not as good as those of us with lower potential."

Ultimately, everyone at Yuncheng Station is looking forward to what will happen when Qin Wan helps with the transfer of fortune and receives payment for it. What if she grows a bit more?

Will it still be just a simple transfer of goods then?
It might even be able to directly alter a person's destiny throughout their life.

"That's really amazing!"

Lu Jinzhao sighed again, remarking that fate was truly an interesting thing. Qin Wan's fortune-changing ceremony was simple and completed quickly. She timed it perfectly; the ceremony ended just as the car arrived at its destination.

"Let's get off the bus."

"I'll walk in front, and you two can follow behind me, but you can keep a little distance," Qin Wan said.

Zhou Ziming naturally had no objections, and Lu Jinzhao certainly wouldn't either.

But Lu Jinzhao didn't expect that, just two steps after stepping out of the car, Qin Wan would trip over her own feet and fall flat on her face.

With a thud, Lu Jinzhao watched helplessly as she landed on her knees, without any cushioning, falling solidly.

".How are you?"

This seems a bit too unlucky.

As soon as Lu Jinzhao asked the question, he heard a sneer coming from not far away.

"What? Do the companies we're working with this time even have people of this caliber?"

"If I can't even walk properly, what if I encounter a ghost? Won't I just trip and fall down while running and become a ghost myself?"

Lu Jinzhao looked in the direction of the mocking voices and saw for the first time that the train had two doors open.

The door was less than ten meters away from them, and there were three people standing outside the door, who appeared to be passengers from other platforms.

When Lu Jinzhao saw these three people, he frowned, simply because they exuded a rather heavy aura of hostility.

Just by looking at one of their body language, expressions, and tone of voice, you can tell that these three people must have terrible tempers and are not in a good mental state.

It is worth noting that all three were dressed in custom-made clothes, somewhat similar to sportswear, but more exquisite.

Two of them had matching blue cuffs and collars, while the other had red.

"Someone from Feiquan?" Zhou Ziming recognized the other person by their distinctive clothing.

"Ignore them," he whispered to Lu Jinzhao, then walked over to Qin Wan and helped her up.

Qin Wan's fall was quite painful; her knee was bleeding from abrasions, and she was already injured before even officially starting the mission.

"Tsk, I hope you guys don't hold us back. Even if you're going to die, at least die somewhere far away. Don't become ghosts and add to our burden."

The woman with the red collar glanced at Qin Wan, then led the two behind her away without hesitation.

Lu Jinzhao saw her face clearly. She didn't have a mean-spirited appearance, but the chaotic aura around her made her face look particularly mean. Her eyes were full of hostility and bloodshot, like those of a mental patient.

"I'm fine." Qin Wan patted the dust off her clothes.

"Is this bad luck really that bad? It's good to use it now." Zhou Ziming didn't think that falling down now was a bad thing, but as he was thinking this, he heard Qin Wan suddenly say.

"No, this time I'm exchanging it for good luck."

".What?"

"I always felt that this mission was not simple. When my luck turned, my intuition told me that I needed good luck."

So she changed her luck, allowing good fortune to descend upon her as she disembarked and entered the platform.

Lu Jinzhao narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the backs of the three people in front of him.

Qin Wan's incredible luck allowed them to stay here, but the three who went in first were practically cursed with bad luck.
