Their commission was suspicious.

At that moment, Cocolia felt like she wanted to eat Chen Luo alive. She hoped that Chen Luo wouldn't put on such a show again on the Immortal Ship, otherwise Xingke wouldn't be able to handle it.

……

"I heard that the Grand Diviner's grotto has also suffered a disaster. Qingque, how come you still have the mind to play cards?"

"Alas, even if the sky were to fall over the Grand Diviner, there would still be the Grand Diviner to hold it up. Although he is not tall, his abilities are unparalleled."

"Besides, I'm not here just to mess around. I'm here on her orders to wait for our distinguished guest. Time is precious, so this is how you can work while slacking off," Qingque said logically.

“And… isn’t there an unexpected guest here?” Qingque said, then looked up at the person opposite her.

"It's quite a coincidence that this outsider also likes to play with Imperial Jade Tablets, and somehow he found an antique set of Imperial Jade Tablets somewhere, which is said to be an ancient artifact. That set of tablets is even older than me." The person next to Qingque also looked at Chen Luo.

"This set of Imperial Jade Tokens was obtained through a special channel... I guarantee it's absolutely genuine," Chen Luo assured him confidently.

Right next to Chen Luo was a stack of antique, exquisite, and historically significant imperial jade plaques.

It is covered with traces of history.

It was the Imperial Jade Token that Chen Luo had obtained from the Star God of Joy, and it was a genuine antique!

The game "Emperor's Jade" is said to have existed since the ancient empire period of the Immortal Ship, but it was lost during the long interstellar drift of the Immortal Ship Alliance.

Thanks to Qingque for organizing its rules and bringing them back to the modern immortal ship, people were fortunate enough to come into contact with this brain-teasing card game based on the laws of stars and celestial phenomena.

Then, Qingque used the blueprints in the library as bait to entice her close friend, a craftsman in the Imperial Workshop, to create a set of jade chess and card games for her, which integrated multiple functions such as automatic shuffling and card dealing. This set was then quickly promoted through the latter's [Sizhi Chess and Card Hall].

Today, "Imperial Jade" has become one of the most popular games in Luofu.

"However, I have to say that older things aren't necessarily better. So this antique Imperial Jade Pendant might not be as useful as a modern one. It's just for commemorative purposes," Chen Luo cautioned.

"It's alright, it's alright. It's just something we do when we're bored, and we decide the winner by playing cards. The price difference is just a bonus." Qingque waved her hand, seemingly trying to comfort Chen Luo, but her eyes never left the antique Imperial Jade Tablet.

It's clear that Qingque really wants it.

Moreover, Qingque was indeed confident.

Although Qingque, as the developer of the new generation of Emperor's Jade, dares not say that her Emperor's Jade is second to none, this time, Qingque's luck is so good that even she herself is surprised.

Chen Luo proposed that the ownership of the Imperial Jade should be determined by whoever has the highest score at the final settlement.

Qingque glanced at her hand and a happy smile appeared on her face.

East East East East, South South South South, West West West, North North North North, Red Center

The reason why there are three extra cards for East, South, and North is because of a concealed kong.

The greatest wish of those who play the Imperial Jade game is to win.

And what about this hand? If I can win with a winning hand on a kong, that would be the strongest hand in history!

320 times.

So happy that Qingque felt she had a right place to die even when she passed away on the spot!

"This is the place as seen in the photo. It's a card room. What trouble could we be having here?" March 7th and the others had already arrived nearby.

"Please, please, I have to win this time!" Qingque was extremely nervous.

However, after hearing what March 7 and the others said, Qingque obediently turned her head away.

"Greetings, gentlemen. Judging from your distinguished appearances, I can tell you are distinguished guests of the Grand Diviner."

"You don't want the fortune teller to know you went to play cards, do you?" Xing waved his hand.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I was originally planning to wait for you guys, but this gentleman suddenly started a card game, and the pay was hard to refuse," Qingque said apologetically.

"I get it, I get it. You were definitely tempted by some special item, weren't you?"

Qingque originally thought the other party would complain a bit, but she didn't expect the other party to be so understanding.

“That’s right, that’s right.” Qingque nodded quickly.

"Just play your cards without worry. When we see Chen Luo, it means trouble is on its way, but it also means there's no other trouble. Right, Chen Luo? You left early, kid, you weren't just trying to trick others into playing Emperor's Jade with you, were you?" March 7th glared at Chen Luo with ill intent.

"Ah, do you all know each other? It seems this is the distinguished guest that the diviner said we could ignore?" Qingque suddenly realized.

It seems the other party is better at divination than I am, which is why they came here to ambush me beforehand.

But Qingque didn't care about anything else. Qingque was determined to win this hand, even if it meant giving up the Imperial Jade!

If this hand can't be won...

"Hidden kong!"

Qingque was overjoyed to see the west wind in his hands.

However, when Qingque drew a card and saw that it was a white tile instead of a red tile, he thought for a long time before deciding to play the white tile.

Although there was no winning hand, a hand of four wild cards, four concealed triplets, all honors, and four quads is still an exceptional hand.

The player to the left glanced at the excited Qingque and then, with a strange look in his eyes, played a red dragon.

"It's burnt now..."

"I won!" Chen Luo pushed the cards away.

"Huh? Hijacked?" Qingque almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"And it's a chicken hand? No, do you even know how to play? You have a chicken hand that breaks my four winds + four concealed triplets + all honors + four kongs! ...Sorry, I got a little excited for a moment."

"What do you mean?" March 7 asked, puzzled.

"To put it simply, this young lady's current feelings are roughly equivalent to the feelings of the richest man's only daughter in the Interstellar Peace Company when he is suddenly kidnapped by a blond guy riding a 'ghost fire' motorcycle who keeps calling you 'Old Deng'," Chen Luo explained.

"Isn't that just wanting to die? If it were me, I wouldn't live either, and I would definitely beat that blond guy to death before I die!" Xing said fiercely, clenching his fist.

Upon hearing this, Qingque felt like vomiting blood.

"Ah, sorry, I think I misread it. I mistook the five of bamboo for a four of bamboo, so it seems like I won by bluffing," Chen Luo said suddenly, embarrassed.

"In other words..." Qingque, who hadn't noticed this earlier due to her excitement, clutched her chest and looked at Chen Luo.

"In other words, congratulations, this super antique version of the Imperial Jade is yours." Chen Luo picked up the exquisite yet rustic box.

Upon hearing this, Qingque couldn't catch her breath and fainted.

Great sorrow is followed by great joy.

Who can stand this?

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

The chess hall instantly descended into chaos.

“Chen Luo, carry her on your back, let’s go to the Taibusi,” said March 7, hands on hips.

"Huh? Why should I?"

“If you weren’t carrying her, then was it me? You’re the one who made her lose her mind!” March 7th argued vehemently, while Chen Luo’s argument was weak and unconvincing.

"And I have reason to suspect that you did it on purpose."

"Oh no, I really didn't mean to," Chen Luo assured him.

It was just that the user-friendly plugin chose an auspicious time for Chen Luo to start attacking the Imperial Jade.

Perhaps it is because of different times, different feng shui, and different fortunes that their predetermined destinies are also different.

In short, it's all the fault of the user-friendly plugins.

Forget all that nonsense, just tell me about Qingque, who likes to slack off. Isn't she soft and cuddly?

"I don't know." Chen Luo, who had Qingque on his shoulder, shook his head.

[...Who told you to carry it? Whether you carried it on your back or hugged it, wouldn't it be better than carrying it? You could break the steel thread of fate that the God of Marriage tied together!]

"Leave me alone?"

Hmph, whatever.

The humanized plugin had anticipated that Chen Luo had a strong rebellious streak, so it chose to do the opposite!

The two options of hugging or carrying are actually a mediocre solution, while carrying someone on your back is the best solution!

I refuse to believe that user-friendly plugins can't even match up one person! I, a master of strategy guides, can't even do that!

I'm sick of drawing those lewd pictures; I'm tired of using human-centered plugins! I need to find something else to do now!

Chapter 1856 Blue Sparrow and "The Bible of Lazy Fishing"

"Fu Qing, how is the progress?" Before the Qiong Guan Formation, Jing Yuan's light blue holographic projection stood in front of Fu Xuan, inquiring about the relevant matters.

"When the price fluctuates between Qian and Zhen, misfortune will befall the trader, and nothing will be of benefit..."

“Fu Qing, speak like a human being, please,” Jing Yuan said with a smile.

"Ahem, disaster is imminent. This is the fate of the Grand Diviner today," Fu Xuan said.

If Chen Luo, the god of his own mouth, were here, he wouldn't have asked me to speak human language.

However, it remains to be seen whether Chen Luo can understand what he is saying.

"The Qiong Guan Formation has stopped turning, the talismans are dim, there is a star core evil spirit in the department, the Cloud Cavalry is busy protecting the people, I want to restore the formation, but I have no troops available."

"In this situation, we still have to deal with the Star Core Hunters sent by the General. Isn't this a disaster on the horizon?" Fu Xuan said irritably.

"Haha..." Jing Yuan chuckled twice.

"The person before me is none other than Fu Qing, known as the one who can foresee the future and whose discerning eyes see through everything. Isn't seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune your forte?"

"There's no need for this chicken soup, General. Fluctuations in fortune are the natural order; don't try to outsmart us. The Grand Diviner merely presents good and bad omens before us, urging us to make the right choices. He has no magical powers to reverse fate," Fu Xuan said earnestly.

"That's precisely why we need Fu Qing's intervention. To subdue the Star Core Hunter who can foresee the future, only the clairvoyant Fu Qing is indispensable. As for manpower... how could I be unprepared?" Jing Yuan seemed to have everything under control.

"Look, the help has arrived." As soon as Jing Yuan finished speaking, Chen Luo and the others carrying Qing Que arrived nearby.

"What happened?" Fu Xuan was greatly shocked as he looked at Qing Que being carried over by Chen Luo.

Fu Xuan glanced at Jing Yuan, who had just looked so confident, and found that Jing Yuan's expression remained unchanged, still as steady as a mountain.

Don't look at me, I don't know what happened either.

Jing Yuan thought to himself.

And shouldn't being able to predict the future be your job, Fu Qing?

"Ahem, things might be a bit complicated, but let's put that aside for now."

But just a few seconds after Chen Luo finished speaking, the blue sparrow on Chen Luo's shoulder moved.

After struggling for a few moments, Qingque nimbly jumped off Chen Luo's shoulder, and even landed unsteadily, wobbling a couple of times.

"I'm sorry, Lord Taipu, I've been very busy with official duties these past few days, so I accidentally fainted while waiting for these distinguished guests. It was these guests who brought me back to the Taibu Si... It was truly a miscalculation," Qingque said to Fu Xuan somewhat apologetically.

"..." The two of them, March and July, couldn't help but glance sideways.

Walter, on the other hand, appeared as if he had seen it all before, his expression remaining completely unwavering.

As for Chen Luo, who knew halfway there that Qingque had woken up, but was too embarrassed to make a sound immediately, he didn't say anything.

"Hmph, I hope so." Fu Xuan gave a faint snort.

I don't believe you.

Even if others don't know, doesn't Fu Xuan know? Qing Que, as a master of slacking off, has taken stealing time from her busy schedule to the extreme. If she could get exhausted, it would mean that the Taibu Division has no one left to use and the entire Immortal Ship is in grave danger.

"Entering the Qiongguan Formation without my permission is against the rules... If I say that, it would seem that I am unreasonable. It is truly a pleasant surprise to see you all," Fu Xuan said.

“Although Qingque seems unreliable most of the time, she really is unreliable when it matters.” Fu Xuan glanced at Qingque, only to find that Qingque had started whispering to Chen Luo at some point.

Although it's unclear when the two of them became acquainted, the fact that someone carried him over and then claimed he fainted while waiting because he was working too hard was rather clumsy of a lie.

But since the goal had been achieved, Fu Xuan didn't say anything more.

“I thought you were going to shut us out,” Xing said.

"I originally intended to thoroughly observe the operation of the formation before demonstrating the extraordinary skills of my Taibu Si, but it has been impolite of me to keep you waiting," Fu Xuan said.

"Don't be so polite. We heard what that general said. Just leave everything to us," March 7th said warmly.

As nameless travelers, they were born to be busy, and ignoring those in need wasn't in their nature. Besides, March 7th had learned from Xing that completing a task was worth 3000 Paradise Coins, and accepting another task would earn them 1000 Paradise Coins. Since they were already doing something and were now being rewarded, March 7th wasn't bothered by it.

"Well then, I won't mince words. The Grand Divination Bureau is short-handed, so I need to help everyone restart the foundation of the Qiong Guan Grand Array, and also eliminate the evil spirits in the star core," Fu Xuan said.

“I don’t recognize this formation,” Xing said.
