"Mr. Prophet, how many wishes did you just say?" Youyouzi was a little confused. "Ten? Seven, eight, nine, ten?"

Upstairs, Xia Ling listened quietly to the conversation between the two, and almost laughed out loud. She didn't need to see it to imagine Youyouzi's bewildered expression.

This guy is really bad. She thought Gu Chi would only assign two or three tasks to Youyouzi, but she didn't expect him to directly double the number.

Although she really liked the serious appearance of Gu Chi, she knew that he was full of mischief. Wasn't he afraid of being seen through by Youyouzi?

How could an NPC give a player ten tasks at once?

Of course, Gu Chi had considered this point. He wouldn't give Youyouzi a chance to think too much.

He just smiled lightly and said, "It's all a long time ago, Miss Youyouzi, you don't need to worry about it."

At this point, Gu Chi's character did not allow him to say something like ten wishes, so he emphasized that it was in his childhood, making it seem natural.

On the other hand, it could also prevent problems like "999 all attributes and still need help to fulfill wishes." The most reasonable thing was that he "no longer needed" the "past wishes."

Youyouzi: "Ah?"

She was still thinking about whether to negotiate with Gu Chi, but now she didn't need to worry about it?

"I know you came to this world with a purpose, or a mission? You want to fulfill my wish for me, right?" Gu Chi shook his head and sighed, "I might be able to help you with other things, like divination. But wishes... I'm sorry, Miss Youyouzi, I don't have any wishes now."

Youyouzi: "???"

No wishes?

Then what about her task?

No, no.

Youyouzi quickly said, "It's okay, Mr. Prophet. Childhood wishes also count."

The system couldn't possibly give her a non-existent task. If Gu Chi didn't have any wishes now, it must refer to his childhood wishes.

Gu Chi still shook his head, "I don't like owing favors to others."

Youyouzi's idea of using the task to gain favor with the prophet immediately fell through.

"It's not a favor," Youyouzi explained, "If I help the prophet fulfill his wish, I will also benefit. It's a fair trade. The prophet won't owe me anything, and I won't ask the prophet to do anything for me because of it."

"Is this also considered a fair trade?" Gu Chi was puzzled. "Are you sure you're not lying to me?"

"No, I promise what I said is true!" Youyouzi solemnly raised her hand to swear, then blushed slightly and said, "Um, Mr. Prophet, I will try my best to help you fulfill your wish, but can your wish... be a little less?"

Gu Chi: "Let's forget it, Miss Youyouzi, you don't have to force yourself."

Youyouzi: "!"

"I'm not forcing myself, ten it is!" Youyouzi said.

See, he didn't force this girl, she wanted to do ten tasks herself.

Gu Chi didn't mention it again, as if he didn't want to talk about it anymore, and seemed to be tacitly agreeing. He stood up and said to the girl, "Miss Youyouzi, please sit for a while. Dinner will be ready soon."

Youyouzi smiled and responded, "Okay."

Gu Chi left the living room without saying where he was going, as if a few words had already drained all the warmth from his body, and he resumed his cold and aloof demeanor.

In fact, he was not particularly approachable from start to finish. Even when he smiled, he still gave people a sense of distance. Youyouzi felt this very clearly. Despite her smiling on the surface, she had already started to complain in her heart. This man is so difficult to get along with!

Youyouzi felt a little aggrieved. When Gu Chi contacted her in the afternoon, his voice was warm, but in the evening, he changed back and left her in the living room.

She had agreed to ten wishes, but Gu Chi didn't tell her what the wish was, nor did he chat with her more. Wasn't this just luring her over and then ignoring her?

But Gu Chi didn't ignore her for long. He just went upstairs and talked to Xia Ling about the arrangements for the next day.

After a few minutes, the maid brought dinner to the table, and the two of them sat down together.

It was only then that Youyouzi remembered that Gu Chi had a very beautiful personal maid.

According to the customs of this era, a personal maid should accompany the master when receiving guests, but the maid had not come just now. Now she came to the table with the master and the guest.

Wasn't there something wrong with this custom?

Youyouzi wanted to ask Gu Chi, but when she saw his stern face and expressionless demeanor, she held back her words.

No one spoke during the entire dinner, and they ate their food quietly.

So Youyouzi felt even more aggrieved.

Is this what you call dining together?

The dishes were exquisite, there was wine, and even a candlestick was lit, but there was an extra person!

Even if there was an extra person, the atmosphere was still dull, making it difficult for her to maintain her sunny disposition.

No matter how good her personality was, she couldn't always put on a warm face to deal with Gu Chi's coldness.

It wasn't until after dinner, when they got up from the table, that the Prophet finally took the initiative to speak to her.

"Miss Youyouzi, do you want to know who the other people from your world are?" Gu Chi asked.

Youyouzi nodded, looking at Gu Chi with big eyes, and said earnestly, "Are you willing to help me with divination? I can pay you."

For some reason, Gu Chi felt that the girl in front of him was like the little match girl.

"No need for divination," he said, "But I need Miss Youyouzi to wait for a moment."

Youyouzi: "Oh, okay."The room on the second floor had been arranged by the maid into a reception room, with a large round table inside. Gu Chi led the girl in and then disappeared without a trace.

Yoyozi wasn't in a hurry this time, but things once again took her by surprise.

She thought Gu Chi had already foreseen the outcome, but after waiting for more than ten minutes, the person who entered the room was not Gu Chi, but another man.

The two locked eyes.

Yoyozi: "......"

Who is this person?

Where is my fortune teller?

Don't hit me, I surrender: "......"

He was also thinking about this question.

He thought the person in the room was Gu Chi.

The second question - isn't this the lively girl from this afternoon?

Did she also receive an invitation from the fortune teller?

Yoyozi didn't recognize the surrender, but the surrender recognized her.

With Yoyozi's lively personality, she should have chatted with the surrender for a while, at least asked who the other person was. But being continuously ignored by Gu Chi, she was not very happy now and didn't want to talk to strangers.

The surrender also didn't speak first. He calmly chose a seat farthest away from Yoyozi, keeping an eye on the girl while pondering what Gu Chi was up to.

Shouldn't the fortune telling be done one by one? Does Gu Chi want to do it all at once?

Half an hour later, Power 39, still wearing the same suit from the afternoon, entered the room.

Yoyozi: "......"

She thought it was Gu Chi again.

Surrender: "......"

Is there someone else?

Power 39 also hesitated for a moment, then nodded at the two and sat down nearby, lost in thought.

The air was very quiet.

Thirty minutes later, the door was pushed open again.

This time, a glamorous woman entered the room.

She was wearing a deep purple off-the-shoulder evening gown, with long, black wavy curls cascading down her back. A rose was pinned to her ample chest, and a small gap in the neckline revealed a hint of snow-white skin. Below her slender waist was a voluptuous hip line, and the skirt was slit open, exposing a pair of beautiful black silk legs. She was wearing high heels, making her already long legs even more charming.

The woman's outfit perfectly showcased her hot and curvy figure, extremely sexy.

But the problem is, aren't you here for fortune telling?

Why dress so provocatively?

The three people in the room looked at her strangely.

Glamorous woman: "......"

She didn't expect that there would be no fortune teller in the room, and instead of a bed and props, there was a round table and three people.

But as a seasoned player, the glamorous woman was only embarrassed for a moment. She was slightly annoyed, secretly cursing Gu Chi for being clueless, but quickly regained her composure, nonchalantly walked in, placed her red handbag on the table, and said, "You were also chosen by the fortune teller? What a coincidence."

Power 39: "......"

Surrender: "......"

It is quite a coincidence.

If the tasks don't conflict, maybe we can form a temporary alliance after the fortune telling.

There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

Yoyozi was still feeling down.

The fifth person to enter was a journalist.

The glamorous woman remembered that he had taken pictures of her in the afternoon and couldn't help but give him a deep look.

Journalist: "......"

Pretending not to see.

By this time, the few people were still relatively calm.

Although meeting other players here caught them slightly off guard, it was still within reason.

After all, they had considered the possibility that Gu Chi might have invited more than one player.

But as more players arrived, they became a bit restless.

One player after another came in, and by 9:30, there were already nine people in the room.

The last one to arrive was the man with the monocle, but he had actually "arrived" long ago - after the fortune telling session in the afternoon, he hadn't left and had been hiding across the street.

He wanted to see if Gu Chi had indeed invited other players and how many.

The man with the monocle instinctively considered the situation more carefully, mainly out of fear of being tricked.

What if Gu Chi had already colluded with other players and planned to gang up on him?

It wasn't worth risking his life for a fortune telling.

Although this possibility was very small, he had to be cautious.

Especially after seeing Yoyozi go to find Gu Chi and not come out for a long time, the man with the monocle became even more suspicious that this might be a trap.

But he quickly realized that his suspicions seemed to be meaningless...

Not only did the girl not come out, but the other players who entered the villa also didn't come out, and there were many more people than he had imagined.

After waiting for a long time without seeing the system announcement of a player's death, the man with the monocle knew that he had no choice but to go and see whether it was a trap or not. Otherwise, according to the rules set by the players inside, what would they do with a player who was "out of the loop"?

With no other choice, the man with the monocle reluctantly stepped into the garden.

So, ten players were gathered.

Everyone: "......"

Without a doubt, two more will come later.

It seems that the fortune teller has invited all the players.

The woman with the ID "Paper Towel" felt a sense of being deceived and complained, "What does he want to do?"

The man in the jacket, "Sour Apple," also didn't look good: "Maybe he wants to catch us all in one go."

"Feng Shui Master" chuckled, "I don't think he's capable of that."

"Drink More Lava" glanced at him, most likely not having checked the attributes of others.

At this point, Yoyozi also understood Gu Chi's intentions.

No wonder Gu Chi said that he didn't need to use fortune telling to know who the players were, it turned out that he intended to send the players right to her...Although Youyouzi didn't care much about whether her player identity was exposed or not, as she felt that direct contact with players and indirect divination were more or less the same, Youyouzi was still unhappy. She had always thought that Gu Chi had only invited her, with the mask bearing a large "You" character in purple, clearly aimed at her. Yet, she wasn't the only one; she was just one of many.

Youyouzi was now feeling quite stifled.

This novel is available on "pawread.com".

It wasn't until the tissue asked, "Before you came in, did he give you a divination?"

The Feng Shui master shook his head: "No."

If there had been one, they would have said so, but there really wasn't.

Vinegar-drenched apple said, "I didn't even see the person."

As soon as he entered, he was led away by a maid, thinking the prophet was waiting inside for him, only to find a group of players.

Wasn't this just stirring up trouble?

The enchanting woman felt much better upon hearing this: "Looks like it's the same for everyone, huh?"

Youyouzi was taken aback.

What did that mean?

Gu Chi hadn't met with them?

Nor had he done any divination or conversation.

Not even tea was offered; they were just brought here to sit on a cold bench?

Hey, upon comparison, Youyouzi realized, Mr. Prophet seemed to be quite nice to her?

Despite calling many people over, he had only met with her privately.

"Click, click."

The door was pushed open again.

Gu Chi appeared just in time, confirming Youyouzi's thoughts.

Because he had been listening to the players chatting in the next room.

Guessing the thoughts of a young girl based on the conversation was not a difficult task for him.

At this moment, Gu Chi was dressed in a deep blue robe and wore a mask, looking all business.

Youyouzi's mood suddenly improved.

The other players, however, were not in such good spirits.

After waiting all night to see someone, not getting a divination was one thing, but having their identities exposed was another. How would they be able to scheme in secret now?

"The prophet, Mr., could have come a bit later," the Feng Shui master said, "There are still two people who haven't arrived."

The first "again" was pronounced with particular emphasis, carrying a somewhat sarcastic tone.

Gu Chi simply said indifferently, "No need to wait, I've already given them a chance."

After speaking, he glanced at Xia Ling.

Xia Ling didn't make a sound, just silently walked over and sat down next to Youyouzi.

Everyone: "?"

This maid is a player??

Some were genuinely surprised.

Others pretended to be surprised.

Before they could ponder further, Gu Chi got straight to the point: "The reason I've invited you all here tonight is very simple."

"I know you all come from another world, and you have things to do in Omuda District, whether they are good or bad."

"That doesn't matter, my offer from this afternoon still stands."

"I can ignore where you come from, not inquire about what you intend to do, and even offer you divination, providing some assistance."

"But there is one condition you must adhere to."

"No matter what your purpose is, what you want to achieve, do not disturb the order of this world, otherwise..." Gu Chi's eyes beneath the mask swept over everyone and said, "You might end up dying here."
