Chapter 1810: Unlucky Heiress (78)

Unexpectedly, an accident occurred, causing him to miss the competition entirely.

The young man who had been blessed with good fortune since childhood and had always shone brightly at school had recently found one unlucky incident after another befalling him.

At this moment, the senior sat in his dorm room, reflecting on whether he had used up all the luck in his life over those ten-odd years.

If that was really the case, then would he be this unlucky from now on? Would every piece of bad luck in the world pile up on him?

Without the protection of the God of Fortune, and instead favored by the God of Misfortune, what was he supposed to do next?

Still, he didn't sink into despair.

Fortune and misfortune always take turns. Wasn't it just a streak of bad luck? At least he was still alive. Besides, for more than ten years, his luck had truly been exceptionally good.

Tang Guo learned about the senior's situation through the system as well.

She was currently thinking of a way to break the evil object's influence over him.

From her observations during this period, she estimated that the evil object had become weaker because it lacked energy.

The previous times Tang Yi had suffered backlash were probably warnings issued by the evil object.

The reason Tang Yi no longer suffered backlash afterward was most likely because the evil object still needed her to replenish its energy. If Tang Yi succeeded, all the better.

But if Tang Yi continued to fail, Tang Guo didn't believe the evil thing would remain idle. It would definitely find another way. Even abandoning Tang Yi would be preferable to allowing itself to run out of energy.

“System, is that guy playing with his phone right now?”

【Host, he is. He just handed over most of the prize money he won from competitions to his mother for safekeeping. He said he's been too unlucky lately and that it wasn't safe to keep the money with him. He even called his family to ask if they had experienced any bad luck recently. Only after hearing that everything was fine did he feel relieved.】

This male student really had his head screwed on right.

“Then insert an advertisement into his phone for me.”

【What kind of advertisement?】

“A fortune-telling master selling lucky charms. If he doesn't believe it at first, let it appear before him once every day. At a time like this, anyone would start considering it.”

The system thought to itself, Emmm… Host really had a perfectly reasonable excuse for infecting someone else's phone with a virus.

Fine. The host's virus was for the sake of that male student's good fortune.

Just as the system was preparing to carry out the task, it suddenly spoke up.

【Host, I don't think it'll be necessary. That male student should be fine now.】

“What happened?”

The system replayed the scene it had monitored for Tang Guo.

It turned out the senior was currently studying in the library. He was chatting with a girl he knew and telling her about his recent streak of bad luck.

Coincidentally, the girl was an old acquaintance—

Xu Nini.

After hearing how unlucky he had been, she seemed to take it seriously. Not long after they parted ways, she called him and said she wanted to give him a fortune-turning bead.

Holding the bead strung on a red cord, the senior hesitated.

“Isn't this a bit inappropriate?”

“Come on, we're classmates. Just borrow it for a while. Once your luck turns around, give it back to me.” Xu Nini snatched the red string with the bead and directly slipped it onto his wrist before he could even react. “If it weren't you, I wouldn't be willing to lend this thing out.”

The senior blinked in confusion.

“Xu Nini, that sounded a bit strange.”

System: No wonder he's been single for so long.

Tang Guo, who had been silently observing, thought the same.

Indeed, there was always a reason why some people remained single.

Xu Nini raised her head and glanced at him.

“What's strange about it?”
