Chapter 148 - Luck Severance Skill (2/2)
Alright, with this book, Wei Huo could change from the typical grandfather figure who imparted knowledge to others in novels to a protagonist.
Thanks to the translation of System Number Two, Wei Huo finally understood what the Luck Severance Skill was referring to. It was about how to operate, how to change luck, and how to shrink or increase one’s luck.
System Number Two said, “This formula is only applicable to normal humans. By using this formula, one can roughly estimate how lucky one is.”
Wei Huo said, “Take a look at my luck.”
A person shaking his head appeared on the screen of System Number Two. “You’re a Legendary creature. You can suppress your luck and even change your appearance to a certain extent. You also have a domain that can steal the life force of everything in the world. It’s impossible for your luck to be estimated by a mere formula. One can only deduce it if they are a Legendary creature proficient in this technique!”
Wei Huo understood why his father had changed his ordinary luck. However, he had still grown up and lived to this day. If he survived this calamity, he would get lucky again. At the same time, luck would also bring him various equipment, adventures, and grandpas to impart knowledge to him.
He quoted the wisdom of the Luck Severance Skill. “Whenever heaven invests in a person with great responsibilities, it first exercises his mind with suffering and his muscles and bones with toil. It exposes his body to hunger and subjects him to extreme poverty.”
This meant that some protagonists would be in trouble once they boarded a plane. They would encounter sea monsters as soon as they boarded a ship. Aliens would come to destroy humans while they attended a wedding. Was this all about the plot?
No, it was the protagonist’s luck that led to the calamity.
There were three cultivation methods recorded in the Luck Severance Skill book. One of them was called the Luck Viewing Skill. After practicing it, one could see the luck in other people’s bodies. The other one was called Luck Suppression Skill. If one practiced it to a high level, one could suppress one’s luck and prevent it from flowing away. The last volume was about the Luck Severance Skill. It could absorb other people’s luck and transmit luck to others.
Wei Huo put away the Luck Severance Skill book and returned to his bedroom to search. After breaking a wall, he found the Gene Modification Medicine mentioned in Mother Wei’s letter. It was a test tube filled with green liquid. Wei Huo had the System scan it.
System Number Two said, “This is a level-three Gene Modification Medicine. It tastes like orange. If you consume it directly, there will be no side effects. It will take three years to increase the physical quality of an ordinary person three times.”
Wei Huo was confused. Why did this kind of thing have a flavor like orange and apple?
The Luck Severance Skill was not simple. It did not seem strong, nor could it increase one’s strength. However, it could change one’s luck. According to an old Chinese saying, destiny came first, luck came second, fengshui came third, virtuous deeds came fourth, and education came fifth based on priority. Other than having one’s destiny set in stone, luck was the most important thing to a person. It was more important than hard work, talent, and background.
That was why Wei Huo decided to focus on his cultivation and hold on to his own luck. However, he thought of the inheritance caves around the world and asked System Number Two, “Tell me what the best heritage and the best cultivation location in the world are!”
System Number Two said, “The best cultivation ground of the Dragon-Soaring Continent is the Jade-Lake Immortal Realm of the Kunlun Mountain. The strongest inheritance cultivation technique is the Dao Scripture of the Kunlun Immortal Palace…”
