Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1722 Blessed Fate
"Senior Fu, why are you looking at me like that?" Shang Luo felt a chill run down his spine because Fu Yuanshan looked at him as if he had seen an opportunity.

"Do you have two pills on you?"

Oh dear, he's got his eye on your meatballs.

Fu Yuanshan quickly explained, "I wasn't talking about those meatballs! Don't misunderstand!!!"

Shangluo covered his forehead: "What could I possibly misunderstand? Is that what you meant?"

Shangluo took out the pills that Zhu Xianxi had given him.

These are it! Two meatballs that won't fall apart when steamed, won't get cooked through when boiled, won't be flattened when pounded, won't burst when stir-fried, and will make a jingling sound!

"???"

[Just tell me, it can't be flattened, can it?]

"What a treasure! What a treasure!" Fu Yuanshan immediately took a liking to the two dumplings. "I've acquired so many treasures, I should at least have two of these dumplings."

"Senior Fu, you like it? Then I'll give you one."

"Oh, oh, oh, I can't accept this."

"Take it, I'll just hold it in my hand and play with it, one is enough."

Two can be used as exercise balls, and one can be used as a beanbag.

This isn't unique; there's a pair—which means it's not unreplicable. If we really need it later, we can just have Zhu Xianxi make two more.

On the contrary, he had been troubling Fu Yuanshan with errands all along, and he felt that there was nothing he could give him. Since Fu Yuanshan liked it, he would just give him one.

Oh dear, you gave him one of the two meatballs, so you only have one left.

"?"

"Um, Shangluo, do you know why I want this?"

Shang Luo shook his head: "I really don't know. I was a little surprised that you asked me for something for the first time, Senior Fu."

"My Golden Core! I need this to advance to the Golden Core stage!"

"Huh?" Shang Luo was taken aback. "This can be used as a Golden Core?"

"I was just guessing."

Shangluo scratched his head, feeling that something was wrong—but then he thought again, this matter was definitely not simple!
Because Fu Yuanshan is no ordinary person; he cultivates the Dao of Fortune. He usually doesn't speak, but when he does, it's definitely because he has a connection with this thing—of course, this is different from his usual practice of freeloading meals everywhere. He never asks for meals on his own initiative; this is one of the rare times he has spoken up.

"So, Senior Fu, what do you think?"

"Yes! I think my chance lies here!"

"Good heavens, that was in the Emperor's hands before, how come you didn't see it?"

“It’s strange, I’ve been thinking about this too.” Fu Yuanshan thought for a moment, “Perhaps the emperor is stingy. I couldn’t get this when it was in the emperor’s possession. But since it’s in your possession, you’ve probably given it to me.”

"You're quite good at judging people. I'm also quite generous. Then Senior Fu, please accept it."

"Hey, hey, hey." Fu Yuanshan pressed his hand back. "I'm not kidding you. How could I possibly ask you for something, you little brat—how about I trade you something?"

"Oh dear! That's so embarrassing!" "What kind of relationship do we have?" Fu Yuanshan playfully punched Shang Luo on the shoulder, and the two exchanged a smile. They were both quite content with their polite exchanges.

[Tsk tsk tsk. Hypocritical adults.]

"What are you going to give me, Senior Fu?"

“I think I can get an opportunity from this, and there are two of them—doesn’t that mean there are two opportunities? So whatever I know, I’ll share the information with you. Maybe if I get promoted, you can get promoted too.”

"Good heavens!" Shang Luo exclaimed in surprise. This was... this was an opportunity for those at the Golden Core stage. Actually, he still had no clue about the Golden Core stage, and he had almost forgotten about it recently, because the Celestial Beings were already very strong. He only remembered it when Fu Yuanshan mentioned it.

And now, Fu Yuanshan actually wants to give him half of his good fortune?
"I'm really sorry! Senior Fu, you won't be unable to advance yourself just because you've shared your fortune with me, will you?"

Previously, Fu Yuanshan always freeloaded on his meals, and he even freeloaded once when Master Sa treated him to a meal—but this time he got his revenge, and even got a big one.

Hearing Shang Luo's question, Fu Yuanshan shook his head:
"The Way of Fortune is not the Way of Free Meals. The Way of Fortune is all about sharing fortune. Otherwise, why would I be freeloading all day long? I never treat those who treat me unfairly—you have two meatballs now, and I've let you have one, so of course I have to share my fortune with you. If I were to take yours for free, I would be betraying this fortune."

"My God!" Shang Luo exclaimed, clutching his forehead. "Can't there be more people cultivating the Path of Fortune? Our world needs people like that!"

These practitioners of the Path of Fortune are like radars for opportunities. Opportunities don't come everywhere, but practitioners of the Path of Fortune are always able to keenly notice where they lie.

Unfortunately, entering the Path of Fortune requires a special opportunity; not everyone can do it.

"Speaking of which, didn't your little follower just start out? I think he's got pretty good luck. Have you been able to mooch off him lately?"

"Hmm?" Shang Luo pondered for a moment—although Han Xingzhi had been having a lot of bad luck lately, she always seemed to get unexpected benefits when she helped him with things. It was as if he had not only shared his good fortune but also deducted some of his own good fortune from Shang Luo's share.

Could it be that he gave away all his good fortune and ended up being the one who suffered bad luck?

"Why are you so superstitious?"

What about the good fortune that Senior Fu bestowed upon you?

"Of course we're lucky—Senior Fu, do you have any leads on this great opportunity?"

He planned to ask the Opportunity Radar what it thought of the target ahead. After all, Fu Yuanshan was a Celestial-level cultivator of the Path of Fortune, and apart from Master Sa, his radar had the highest power.

"I really don't have any clue, but I feel like I'll be lucky to get a dumpling from you. So I suppose you're on the path to good fortune now."

"Does that mean what I'm doing now will greatly help me ascend to the Golden Core stage?"

"Hmm." Fu Yuanshan nodded. "So where are you going?"

"I'm going to the bakery near the entrance to check on the operation of the automated machine, and while I'm at it, I'll ask them if they can help me create a special magical artifact."

"That's it, that's what it is. Let's go, let's go now. The bakery by the door, right? Come on over."

He gestured for me to go first: "You go first. I'll follow you. It depends on which way you go."

"No, no, Senior Fu, you should go first. I think your judgment of Fu Yuan is more accurate."

"No, no, you should go first. The motive for this matter lies with you, and I'm more likely to observe you."

Are you two out of your minds?! Shouldn't we do a divination right here and then decide whether to step with your left or right foot?
