CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 29: BREAKING THE BORROWING LUCK TECHNIQUE

When he ran back upstairs, trying to use the fingerprint lock to unlock the room door but received a verification failed message, he realized Jiang Ci must have done something to the fingerprint lock while he was downstairs.

He tried to stay calm and knocked on the door, testing the waters, "Jiang Ci, why can’t I unlock the fingerprint lock? Can you open it for me?"

In fact, he was secretly listening to the sounds inside.

But he couldn’t hear any sound for a long time, nor did he get any response from Jiang Ci to open the door, and his heart sank a bit.

From normal knocking, it gradually turned into heavy pounding, as if the surrounding walls were trembling.

"Jiang Ci, hurry and open the door, don’t listen to those tricksters!"

The face of Mu Yunchu appeared in his mind.

He never expected such a beautiful girl to be a Daoist.

Moreover, since the expert on the phone had warned him, it meant the other’s abilities were definitely not ordinary.

At least, they could break his Borrowing Luck Technique.

Thinking about how what he currently had with great difficulty might vanish into smoke, he was terrified, pounding and kicking the door with reddened eyes as if he wanted to kill the person inside.

"Open the door!"

"Hurry and open the door for me!"

"Otherwise, I’ll have to use other methods, Jiang Ci!"

The neighbor, hearing the commotion, opened the door and was startled by Zhao Nan’s current state.

He looked no different from a crazed animal in a wildlife documentary.

While hesitating to close the door, Zhao Nan suddenly turned around and burst in.

"Hey you?"

He walked straight to the kitchen as if it were his own home and picked up a kitchen knife.

The neighbor’s words stopped abruptly, wishing to be hundreds of meters away from him.

Zhao Nan looked around and picked up a hatchet as well.

Returning in front of his own door, he began chopping intensely.

One blow after another, soon the fingerprint lock’s alarm began to sound.

But no one dared to open the door and check anymore.

...

Meanwhile, inside the house, Jiang Ci knew it was a critical moment and couldn’t possibly open the door for Zhao Nan.

Listening to the nearly heart-wrenching shouting outside, Jiang Ci secretly glanced at Mu Yunchu beside him, feeling an indescribable admiration.

She had predicted all of this!

As soon as Zhao Nan left, Mu Yunchu said he would be back soon and asked to find a way to keep him out of the house.

In an instant, he thought of doing something to the fingerprint lock.

They initially decided to switch to a fingerprint lock due to their habit of not carrying keys.

And at the time of purchase, Jiang Ci remembered a crucial point about the fingerprint lock—it allowed a core user to delete any user’s fingerprint.

This meant he could delete Zhao Nan’s fingerprint, making him unable to enter the house.

Gathering his thoughts, the noise of the door being rammed grew louder, causing the walls to tremble. Jiang Ci couldn’t help but wonder if Zhao Nan had brought some tools.

But he couldn’t ask Mu Yunchu, as she was clearly at a critical moment.

Glancing sideways at Mu Yunchu, she lowered her head seriously as if isolating herself in a separate space, calm and composed, with no fear of Zhao Nan breaking in.

At this moment, Mu Yunchu had already prepared small dolls representing Jiang Ci and Zhao Nan, and burned the red paper with the contract from the pillow into ashes.

Then, she lightly held her right wrist with her left hand, using the prepared vermillion to draw, stroke by stroke, on the yellow talisman paper, creating a symbol Jiang Ci couldn’t understand.

Just then, the fingerprint lock’s alarm completely disappeared, and its internal structure suffered crucial damage, followed by Zhao Nan suddenly breaking in.

With a fierce look, mouth agape, he saw Mu Yunchu seemingly conducting some mystical ritual as soon as he stepped in.

Without hesitation, he instinctively swung the hatchet in his hand down hard.

"Watch out!" Jiang Ci shouted.

But Mu Yunchu sitting there remained unmoved.

Just as Zhao Nan was less than half a meter away from her.

As she softly chanted a spell, Jiang Ci felt a strange sensation rising from the top of his head, spiraling throughout his body.

"Ahhh!" at the same time, Zhao Nan lost all his strength, dropping the hatchet with a clatter and fell to his knees before Mu Yunchu with a thud.

The Borrowing Luck Technique had been broken.

Looking down at him from a height, her deep eyes carried an obvious disdain.

With lingering fear, Jiang Ci walked over to Mu Yunchu’s side, looking at Zhao Nan lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and asked, "What happened to him suddenly?"

"He won’t die here, will he?"

"No." Mu Yunchu straightened her sleeve, "He’s just suffering a backlash."

But even if he doesn’t die, his life from now on won’t be easy.

Jiang Ci nodded.

He didn’t feel sorry for him.

After all, this was all self-inflicted.

Not to mention, if he hadn’t met Mu Yunchu, his own future might have been worse.

Thinking of this, he suddenly took out his phone, logged into his account again, and started a livestream.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

He nervously watched the number of viewers in the upper right corner of the livestream, visibly increasing.

Until it rose to two or three thousand, the increase began to slow down.

Jiang Ci’s eyes brightened.

To think he hadn’t done anything yet!

The difference was staggering.

"Master, look, my luck really came back!"

At this moment, Mu Yunchu was thinking of something else.

The Borrowing Luck Technique is an evil technique, not a low-level spell. Does this mean there’s an evil cultivator in Xianyue City?

Mu Yunchu only appeared in Jiang Ci’s livestream for two seconds and was caught by her fans.

While Jiang Ci used to be somewhat popular in the influencer circle for his good looks, her appearance increased his popularity.

[Does anyone know this guy? First time seeing this on Whale Livestream today. The pretty woman beside him, could she be his girlfriend?]

[What? Is it a new couple account?]

[Wait... I know this person, this is the famous fortune-telling streamer Mu Yunchu!!!]

[Who is that?]

[This guy looks familiar... I remember now! He’s the one who had his luck borrowed by his roommate in the last stream? Didn’t expect the streamer to solve it at his home so quickly.]

Then netizens went back to gossip.

Little did they know, and once known, it nearly shattered their worldview.

[So the Borrowing Luck really exists in this world?]

[I have to speak up now, though it’s embarrassing—I was one of those who followed his roommate before. I don’t know why at the time, but I found him interesting and spent a lot of money on him. Thinking back now, I must’ve been really sick! Why would I pay money to some ugly person who just tells dirty jokes?!]

[I must have been blind before, liking him over his roommate.]

[But speaking of which, I’ve never seen this Jiang Ci streamer before!]

[No way, I must follow this cute guy no matter what.]

Although Mu Yunchu didn’t use her phone to stream, her backstage follower count kept increasing.

Seeing his follower count rise to ten thousand in just an hour, Jiang Ci was beyond thrilled.

"Great, thank you, Master!"

He was truly, deeply grateful for Mu Yunchu.

"Can we exchange private contacts?"

Jiang Ci didn’t want to lose touch with Mu Yunchu.

"Sure."

She took out her phone.

Before leaving, Mu Yunchu suddenly said with a meaningful tone, "Have you ever thought, that you don’t have to face the camera just for livestreaming?"

Jiang Ci was stunned.

As Mu Yunchu disappeared at the airport, an advertising leaflet suddenly flew onto his body.

He peeled it off and saw: Idol Trainee Selection Competition...

Jiang Ci: !!!

Mu Yunchu carried her local specialties, her lips curling into a barely noticeable smile.

She had long seen that Jiang Ci’s future was meant to be higher than his current state.

Otherwise, Zhao Nan, such a misfortunate criminal, wouldn’t have become a popular livestreaming host.

At the very least, Jiang Ci’s name would surely appear in the entertainment industry in the future.
