I really am a fortune teller

Although Wei Chen was a fortune teller in his previous life, and one with exceptional talent at that, and although he couldn't cultivate in this parallel world, which was a bit of a regret, he had already adapted to the so-called "laid-back" life.

But now, it seems he can no longer be a couch potato.

To be honest, Wei Chen's memories of Lin Xueyao were limited to his childhood. However, the two of them had signed a marriage contract when they were young, and whenever Lin Xueyao's name was mentioned, Wei Chen would always find a surge of emotions similar to those of the original owner of the body.

The original owner was very fond of Lin Xueyao and kept it in her heart. The two were childhood sweethearts.

Should we abduct the bride or not?

This is a problem.

Wei Chen got the answer after thinking for only one minute.

Let's just go and kidnap the bride. After all, she's the original owner's woman. Since she's taken over the original owner's body, let's fulfill all of the original owner's desires.

Moreover, according to the original owner's memories of Lin Xueyao, she was a beauty in the making.

Since Lin Xueyao rose to fame, her photos and videos have spread throughout China, and Wei Chen has long harbored feelings for her.

Even after Wei Chen traveled to a parallel world, Lin Xueyao still contacted him. Although Wei Chen was completely unfamiliar with this woman at the time, Lin Xueyao still provided him with a lot of help at crucial moments.

To say I felt no gratitude would be a lie.

The next morning, Wei Chen was dressed smartly. Fang Jiamo was still there, having prepared breakfast, and stood by with his arms crossed, watching the scene unfold: "What are you doing getting ready so early in the morning? Going to see your lover?"

"Never mind that." Wei Chen blushed and ignored Fang Jiamo.

Fang Jiamo leaned closer: "Why can't I interfere? Oh, I see, do you have other women besides Lin Xueyao?"

Wei Chen was about to get angry when he suddenly heard a system notification.

"The system has detected a vengeful ghost from 2000 years ago near the host. Do you wish to kill it? Killing it will grant 1 million merit points."

The sound came abruptly, and Wei Chen's hand trembled, almost dropping the comb in his hand. He glanced back at Fang Jiamo, as if he had seen a huge pile of merit points.

"System, the old man is so valuable, why didn't you tell me before?" Wei Chen said hurriedly.

"He wasn't that close to you, so I couldn't detect him," the system replied calmly. "Do you need to kill him? The system can summon a heavenly lightning bolt for you; it's 100% guaranteed to kill him."

Wei Chen turned to look at Fang Jiamo.

Fang Jiamo shrank back: "Pretend I didn't say anything. Your gaze just now was terrifying, like you were going to eat me up."

Fang Jiamo has been diligent and conscientious, helping Wei Qingshan and taking care of Wei Chen for many years. He is considered their family's steward. Fang Jiamo once said that he was a descendant of Fang Xuanling. It is unknown whether this is true or false, but it seems to be true now.

Wei Chen touched his nose and swatted the system away: "This one can't be killed."

However, this prompt also gave him a thought: "Could it be that killing ghosts or monsters can also earn merit points?"

“That’s right.” The system’s voice was very bright: “This is also a way to obtain merit points.”

"But why is that old man so valuable? And why did I get so many merit points just for providing the doctor with information about his wife's whereabouts?" Wei Chen felt that there was something wrong with the calculation of merit points here.

Merit is something very rare in past lives; only saints possess a great deal of merit. But even then, it's not much; if it were to be expressed as a specific number, it would probably only amount to a few million.

But why is the merit value given by the system so high? Is the merit value calculation different in parallel worlds than in the real world?

"The merit value algorithm in parallel worlds is based on a person's influence and what they have done. The merit value given by the system is the most normal. The reason you received so many merit values ​​before because of the doctor's matter is because the doctor's wife is a very important person, which is why she received such a high merit value. As for why she is so important, this system hopes that you will figure it out yourself."

"Also, this system is usually very inactive, so please don't bother me unless necessary."

Wei Chen was stunned; this was the first time he had ever seen such a unique system.

Simply devastated.

However, the system still revealed a lot of important information.

For example, the system said that the final merit points would be given based on a person's value and past deeds.

It seems that Fang Jiamo is very important, or rather, he has done something very important, which is why he was given such a high merit value.

This thing is really valuable.

To be honest, Wei Chen was a little bit tempted.

But in the end I endured it.

After Wei Chen finished packing, he said to Fang Jiamo, "You stay at home and I'll be all alone."

"Seeing your lover?" Fang Jiamo's voice was cut off inside the door. In the end, he could only sigh and hesitate whether to make a call to Wei Qingshan.

Once outside, Wei Chen sent a WeChat message to Lin Xueyao, who provided a hotel address and even a room number.

Wei Chen was so excited he couldn't contain himself.

This is the girl the original owner had always longed for.

Wei Chen arrived at the hotel quickly and entered the room.

The door to the room was ajar; you could easily push it open and enter. The sound of running water could be heard coming from the shower area.

Wei Chen was captivated by what he heard, and he quietly closed the door.

However, at that moment, his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Wei Chen answered it with some confusion, and a young woman's voice came from the other end: "Wei Chen, where are you now? I told you I wanted to see you."

Wei Chen was surprised. He glanced at the phone and said incoherently, "Didn't you text me and tell me to come to room 3992 of the Garden Hotel?"

"When will I text you..." Lin Xueyao was startled and immediately said, "Run! This is a trap."

Even if Wei Chen were stupid, he would have realized what was happening by now, and he quickly opened the door. But then he discovered that the door was covered with talismans and had many incomprehensible patterns that looked like some kind of rune.

These runes flashed with blue light and instantly spread in all directions, covering the walls, the ground, and the ceiling.

Only then did Wei Chen belatedly realize that he had truly fallen into the other party's trap.

When Wei Chen turned around again, he found himself in complete darkness, where he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.

"Who the hell played this joke on me? Get out here right now!" Wei Chen cursed under his breath.

The only response he received was the wild, flamboyant, and piercing laughter from the darkness.
