I Have A Divination System

Jinshi, Lu Ye University.

In the female dormitory, Lin Xuan finished revising her graduation thesis once again. Glancing at the time, it had just passed five minutes past twelve.

She needed to go for lunch and then head to her part-time job at one o’clock.

Stretching her arms and body, Lin Xuan planned to invite her familiar classmate from next door to go to the cafeteria together. Although it was mealtime, the corridor was quiet, with only a few scattered individuals. As graduation was approaching, most of her classmates had either started their internships or gone out for job interviews. The only ones left in the dormitory were those who hadn’t planned to find a job or were in the same situation as Lin Xuan, still searching for one.

“Li Menglin, where’s Xiaorong?” With the neighboring door ajar, Lin Xuan still politely knocked on it.

“Xiaorong went to work.” A girl with black-framed glasses, holding a bag of potato chips while binge-watching a TV series, turned her head towards Lin Xuan.

“Work? Did she find a job?” Lin Xuan asked in surprise.

“She did. She received an offer last Friday. Didn’t she tell you?” Li Menglin asked, puzzled.

“I’ve been doing part-time jobs outside these past two days, so I come back late.” Lin Xuan usually worked part-time outside on weekends, and she would often return around eleven o’clock.

“Maybe she didn’t want to discourage you. Now you’re the only one in our class who hasn’t found a job.”

“…Yes.” Lin Xuan felt somewhat awkward. Did this person always have to be so blunt?

Li Menglin simply responded with an “Oh” and turned her head back to continue watching her series, completely unaware that her words had made things awkward.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and Lin Xuan couldn’t stand this kind of awkwardness. She tentatively invited, “Li Menglin, do you want to go to the cafeteria together?”

“No, thanks. I’m halfway through my show and don’t want to go out. I’ll order some takeout later.”

Lin Xuan didn’t say anything further. She turned back to her own dormitory, gazing at the empty room. A wave of immense disappointment and frustration surged within her.

Indeed, she was the only one left in their class who hadn’t found a job. Why couldn’t she find one? What was she lacking?

In terms of grades, her academic performance had never fallen outside the top ten. Regarding qualifications, she had obtained all the certifications available at the university. As for interview experience, she had done numerous part-time jobs throughout her college years, gaining considerable experience. No matter how she looked at it, she shouldn’t be the one unable to find a job.

Could it be her appearance?

Lin Xuan started doubting herself as she looked in the mirror. She had recently been working part-time at a cake shop and had indulged in desserts a bit too much. Her face had become slightly rounder, but her chin was still pointed, a perfect base for a melon seed-shaped face. Her features were well-proportioned, with fair skin and naturally black long straight hair. She didn’t consider herself unattractive. Moreover, even though she hadn’t dated in college, she had received confessions, so it couldn’t be her appearance that was the problem.

Then why couldn’t she find a job? Was it because she didn’t submit enough resumes?

Yes, that must be it. A great salesperson once said that the most successful sales technique is to distribute business cards. If she wants to sell herself, she must distribute her resume.

Lin Xuan wasted no time. She didn’t even eat her meal and immediately opened her computer, logged into various job recruitment websites, and crazily sent out her resume. By the time she finished everything, half an hour had already passed.

“This time, I will definitely find a job.” Lin Xuan was filled with confidence. Just as she closed the recruitment page, the screen suddenly flickered, and a junk website popped up.

“Fortune Telling Website, 100% success rate. A garbage website? Looks like I need to run a virus scan on my computer.” Regarding this kind of junk website, Lin Xuan was about to click the “X” to close it without hesitation. However, just a second before clicking the “X,” she suddenly remembered the conversation she had with her best friend yesterday.

“Yuan’er, do you want to go to the temple, pray, and change your luck? Maybe you’ll find a job then.” Lin Xuan had been searching for problems within herself, but her best friend thought it might be due to her unlucky fate.

Could it really be her bad luck?

“What if… I try it?” Lin Xuan felt tempted. “If the result is bad, I’ll go to the temple, pray, and change my luck. If the result is good, it means I’ll find a job soon.”

Lin Xuan thought it was a good idea, so instead of closing the fortune-telling website, she actively entered the divination interface. The divination interface was very simple. Above the background of the Eight Trigrams, a large sign tube stood in the center of the page, and on the sign tube, there was a big hexagram character written with a brush.

So it was a drawing of lots.

“I want to know if I can find a job before I graduate.” Lin Xuan closed her eyes and silently repeated it three times before using the mouse to click on the sign tube. The sign tube shook, and a realistic sound of a shaking sign tube came from the speakers. After a moment, a red-headed divination lot dropped out. The wooden divination lot had no additional decorations except for a red dot at the top.

“Is this an auspicious lot or an ominous lot? Why isn’t it written here? Well, let’s interpret the divination first.” Normally, a divination lot would indicate whether it was an auspicious lot or an ominous lot, but Lin Xuan didn’t dwell on it for too long. She directly clicked the “Interpretation” button below.

The screen changed, and a payment page popped up.

【Please pay the divination fee: 10 yuan per lot, 100 yuan per lot, 1,000 yuan per lot, 10,000 yuan per lot, 100,000 yuan per lot.】

【Note: Please choose carefully, as your choice will determine your starting point.】

“I knew they would charge.” Lin Xuan’s tone was as if she expected it. But when she saw the payment options, she was taken aback. “100,000 yuan per lot? Are they trying to rob people?! And it says the choice determines the starting point. Why don’t they just write that the more money you pay, the better the lot? If it wasn’t for the fact that I suddenly wanted to try divination today, I wouldn’t fall for this.”

Lin Xuan decisively chose to pay ten yuan per lot. She wouldn’t give a cent more. She didn’t actually care much about the divination result; she just wanted to figure out an excuse to decide whether she should go to the temple or not.

“What a garbage website! Even if you’re trying to scam people, can’t you at least say something auspicious after I spent ten yuan? It’s fine if you don’t say anything auspicious, but why curse people? And so maliciously.” Lin Xuan was on the verge of tears, feeling foolish. She wanted to go back in time a few minutes and slap her past self for falling into such a money-grabbing trap. Couldn’t she have used that ten yuan to buy a cup of milk tea instead?

Although she said that the website was garbage and a scam, seeing something like that was truly ominous.

“Don’t panic, don’t panic. It’s all fake.” Lin Xuan repeatedly slapped the wooden table with her hands, spitting and cursing for a while. “It doesn’t count, it doesn’t count. I asked about finding a job, and the divination result doesn’t match that. So it’s not accurate, it’s not real. Garbage website, I’m reporting you.”

Lin Xuan planned to report this money-grabbing and curse-inducing website, but when she opened her computer again, the divination page had already disappeared. She checked her browsing history, but there was no record of it either.

Could it be a Trojan program?

Lin Xuan didn’t dwell on it for too long. She opened the antivirus software, set it to scan and shut down automatically, and then left the dormitory. She had to go to her part-time job.

Lin Xuan ran towards the north gate of the school at the fastest speed. The north gate was very close to the dormitory area, only a five to six-minute walk away. Outside the gate was a snack street, and there was a bus stop across the street. After a five-stop ride, she would reach the cake shop where she worked.

In order to catch the next bus, Lin Xuan ran swiftly. When she reached the entrance gate, she subconsciously wanted to cross the road. Outside the north gate was a small road. Although there were traffic lights, there were no zebra crossings. The pedestrian flow was dense, and there were few cars. So most of the time, students would quickly glance left and right, make sure there were no cars, and then take a few quick steps to directly cross the road.

Lin Xuan used to cross the road like that before, but just a few minutes ago, she had just divined a major ominous hexagram, clearly indicating that she would be hit by a car. With the mindset of being cautious, she didn’t directly cross the road but obediently waited at the side for the traffic light to change.

“I don’t really believe in divination results. I just don’t want to create any opportunities for the hexagram to come true.” Lin Xuan patiently waited until the red light turned green before starting to cross the road. On the other side of the road, the bus she needed to take, Route 108, was already approaching from afar. Lin Xuan unconsciously quickened her pace and ran towards the other side.

“Be careful!”

While running, someone suddenly shouted, causing Lin Xuan to instinctively turn her head to look. But before she could clearly see what was in front of her, her body was struck with tremendous force and sent flying. She keenly felt her body tracing a perfect parabolic arc in the air before crashing heavily onto the ground. A black Audi car raced past her side. There was a sticky sensation on her cheek, as if liquid was oozing out, and her dilating pupils gradually dissipated into a glaring red.

Had she really been hit by a car?

At this moment, instead of reminiscing about her past life like most people on the verge of death, Lin Xuan felt endless regret. If she had known that the divination result was true, she wouldn’t have gone out.

“Confirming eligibility for system binding. Does the host wish to bind? Binding will repair the host’s injuries. Considering the host’s vital signs, the host has three seconds to decide. Countdown begins now. Three…” Before the overwhelming pain completely submerged her consciousness, a voice suddenly sounded.

“Bind.” Lin Xuan mustered her last bit of strength to utter this word and then fell into complete unconsciousness.

“Confirmation received. Binding commencing.” Instantly, an invisible force erupted from the girl’s frail body, rapidly repairing her injuries. In the blink of an eye, the girl’s fractured skull was fully healed, the bleeding stopped, and only a small wound remained.

By this time, the crowd had gathered around cautiously, discussing among themselves.

“Quick, call 120, and don’t forget the ambulance…”

“Don’t touch her, wait for the doctor.”

“Report it to the police quickly. The driver fled, causing such a disaster.”

“She was hit so far away. There’s no way she can be saved. How pitiful.”

“Does anyone know her?”
