Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 153 - 152: Yuze Discovers Something Amiss

She was completely dumbfounded.

It’s also her fault; she got used to spending extravagantly with her master and senior brothers and sisters in the sect, with absolutely no concept of budgeting.

In the Cultivation World, those gemstones are at most just pretty stones, much cheaper than in the mundane world.

She stayed there for over two thousand years and subconsciously thought that Original Stones on Federation Planet would also be cheap...

Josh wanted to run away but was held down by Yuze: "You’re here now, just sit tight."

Josh grimaced, "I suddenly don’t want to buy anymore..."

Rob gave her a strange look, "Got scared? It’s not that expensive; the starting bid is only 200,000, even a small fraction of a livestream’s points is more than that."

Josh looked at him seriously, "But I only have 100,000 silver coins at my disposal each month."

"What??" Rob seemed to hear something bizarre, "Why?"

Josh was reluctant to admit it, but had to explain, "Because I’m underage, the game’s minor protection mechanism means any extra funds automatically go into my guardian’s account."

"Pfft..." Rob burst out laughing. He was so used to seeing Josh act maturely, commanding steadily in missions, he almost forgot she was just a kid.

What do normal people her age do?

Study?

Homework?

Getting smacked on the bottom for not doing well on tests?

Rob found it really hard to associate that image with Josh.

Josh’s face darkened, "Are you so surprised I’m underage?"

Rob held back a laugh, "Not really."

A smile flashed in Yuze’s eyes, "Alright, don’t be mad, the captain will buy it for you."

Josh was about to protest.

Yuze stopped her again, "Pay me back when you’re of age."

Only then did Josh relent, "Fine, then."

Thinking that the money was borrowed, Josh felt a bit more comfortable and focused on watching the auction items.

"I bid 300,000." A girl behind raised her paddle.

Yuze lazily raised his paddle, his voice carrying a bit of nonchalance, "310,000."

The girl looked towards that direction, unable to see his face, only a head of beautiful, elegant blonde hair, lazily tied in a half-up bun, and the faintly visible slender neck.

He seemed to be a handsome young man.

She frowned slightly and continued to bid, "400,000."

Yuze continued, "410,000."

The girl: "...Sir, are you arguing with me?"

"Not at all." Yuze didn’t even look back.

The girl took a deep breath, "500,000."

Yuze: "510,000."

Shirley on stage was laughing so hard her crow’s feet showed seeing this appetizer reach over 500,000.

"The current highest bid is 510,000! Anyone want to bid higher?"

The girl’s face didn’t look good.

Of course, the Original Stone was eventually taken by Yuze.

Josh felt a bit heartbroken, "Captain, isn’t this too expensive? The price was too high on this one; we could wait for the next one."

Yuze looked at her amusedly, "Didn’t you say you wanted to buy stones, the more the better?"

Josh felt a bit troubled, "I did say that, but it’s too expensive..."

Yuze pushed her head back down, "Alright, just watch in peace."

In the end, almost every stone ended up in Yuze’s pocket.

Because this was an Original Stone auction special, almost everyone else went home empty-handed.

Everyone’s attention was on that figure in the first row.

Some recognized Yuze and stopped early.

Others who didn’t know him couldn’t help but glare angrily at this young man.

Yuze ignored them, taking Josh to the back to pack up the stones. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Josh saw a room full of stones, thought of their sky-high prices, and felt dizzy, her legs weak.

Rob wanted to explain something to her but was stopped by a calm look from Yuze.

Yuze patted Josh’s head, showing a bit of a "kind" smile, "How about it? Isn’t the captain good to you? Aren’t you moved?"

Thinking of how these things could aid her cultivation, Josh gritted her teeth and stored them all in the Smart Brain’s warehouse, saying heavily, "Thank you, Captain. I’ll definitely work hard to pay you back in the future."

Yuze smiled, patted her shoulder, "Alright, let’s talk about paying me back later. It’s time to go back."

Josh nodded, carrying a large pile of gemstones back happily.

The new team-up notification came down quickly.

This time, besides Josh and Yuze, Rob was added to the team.

Adding people little by little this way made it easier for Josh to gradually get used to the pace.

Also, she realized Ma Qi was giving her time to get to know everyone.

In a mission, when there are many teammates, it’s hard to carefully get to know each person, but increasing the number step by step allows for building rapport and helps Josh become familiar with everyone through the mission.

Jiang Can and Yushi teamed up separately.

When Yushi heard this news, his face fell longer than Yuze’s leg.

Yuze consoled him for quite a while at the side before managing to persuade him.

The new mission was to start the next day, so that night Josh began cultivating tirelessly.

Yuze once again brought a midnight snack, this time hot milk and chocolate cookies.

Josh loved chocolate cookies and thanked Yuze, but he showed no sign of leaving.

Josh looked at him puzzledly.

Yuze smiled, slipped through the door gap, "Come here, the captain has something to ask you."

Josh had a bad premonition.

Yuze placed the milk and chocolate cookies on the table.

Josh went over, "Captain, what is it?"

Yuze looked at her, "I’ll just get to the point, your captain isn’t someone who beats around the bush."

Josh nodded, seemingly having an idea of what he might ask.

Yuze fixed his gaze on her, his lazy peach blossom eyes long and sharp, the thin eyelids fully lifted, giving an imposing and piercing look.

"The torches and talisman paper you exchanged in the instance before, they weren’t from the game store, right?"

Josh knew she would have to reveal this sooner or later, so she had prepared an answer, "No, it’s part of my space ability."

"Space ability?" Yuze narrowed his eyes slightly.

Josh nodded, "But it requires some equivalent exchange. It’s like there are many goods in the space, but I need to give something in return to exchange for them."

She wasn’t exactly lying; explaining Pinduoduo was hard.

She got this golden finger while in the Cultivation World.

At that time, she and her senior sister were on a mission. A woman claiming to be the Heavenly Destiny Woman crazily provoked the young elders and Sect Leaders of various Cultivation Sects, specifically targeting those who looked young and handsome.

Always acting as if everyone would fall for her, causing trouble everywhere, intentionally trying to attract attention.

But her behavior was out of control, causing many sects to suffer greatly.

She even deliberately broke into a forbidden area, releasing the Demon King, fantasizing that he would bow down to her in gratitude.

This huge menace threw the Cultivation World into chaos.

Everyone turned to her sect for help, and her master sent her and her senior sister to deal with this woman.

The Pinduoduo golden finger fell off her when she died.

When her senior sister picked it up, she just said, "Indeed a fellow villager," and stuffed it to her.

That attitude was no different from the usual giving of candied hawthorn, little sugar figures, little dresses, and small magic tools.

She even taught her how to use it.

Over time, this personal skill has stayed with her for a long time.
