"Goddamn sticking the diet patch on the mouth!"
"Sticking it on for 7 hours straight, you can't take it off no matter what... Damn, eating only one meal in four days, of course you'd lose weight!"
"No wonder this time it wasn't 'fake one compensates ten,' but a 'full refund.' Turns out using it according to requirements really is effective!"
Haxxor Bunny felt a mouthful of old complaints regurgitating from her stomach.
Call them scammers? The method actually works.
Call them honest merchants? It insults her intelligence.
What made Miss Haxxor Bunny's mouth twitch even more was that, under the gray-haired girl's barrage of fallacious reasoning and introductions, that fat woman actually bought the so-called 'So Effective Diet Patch.'
"Expensive? Let me tell you, the original price of the diet patch is 16,000 credits. After a 50% discount, it's half price, which means you earned 8,000!"
"Although you spent 8,000, you simultaneously earned back 8,000, so the diet patch is effectively free! Do you understand?"
The Stellaron spirit's brain was impossibly sharp when it came to causing trouble.
More and more pedestrians gathered in front of the small stall, making it bustling with activity. People asked with great interest about the commodities marked at millions or tens of millions, but discounted to thousands or hundreds of credits.
Questions rose one after another about the prices of "antiques" manufactured last week, and all sorts of items so dilapidated they looked like they were dug out of a trash can. The merchandise was all-encompassing.
Basically, Stelle and Leylah were attending to the customers buying things—this was the price the Stellaron spirit paid for losing at Rock, Paper, Scissors earlier.
March 7th helped out while roasting frantically.
Only Caelus, wearing Republic of China-style round sunglasses and a black long gown, sat before the cyber fortune-telling disk. He gently waved a paper fan written with "Responsive to Every Plea," adopting the posture of a mysterious and unfathomable fortune teller.
"This little sister from another world, you've been watching for so long. Want to come and have a fortune reading?"
"Please allow me to introduce myself—former Genius Diviner of the Divination Commission, current stall owner of 'Caelus Exhausts Heavenly Secrets,' Da Shi. You can also call me Grandmaster."
"By the way, Stelle's alias is Little Shi."
"Whether you plan to choose luck and avoid calamity, check your birth chart, calculate your career, divine your marriage, predict when your enemy will die, want to know how to make life happy, or even determine the lottery numbers for the next period... This humble one will serve you wholeheartedly."
In the flash of lightning between Caelus's smiling opening words, Miss Haxxor Bunny's heart suddenly jolted. She didn't pay much attention to Caelus's subsequent words.
The very first sentence raised her guard.
Little sister from another world?
Did this person discover her identity as a transmigrator?
And what is the Divination Commission?
Haxxor kept a calm expression and quickly asked the other self.
[Don't panic. The 'other world' he mentioned likely means 'other planet.' We look like Outworlders at a glance... which means non-Xianzhou people.]
[As for the Divination Commission, it is one of the Six Commissions of the Xianzhou Luofu, functioning to... and the other five...]
Bronie explained to Haxxor unhurriedly and concisely.
"I see."
A brain with one core equivalent to the computing volume of 5,090 Sushangs spun rapidly, absorbing the intelligence given by the other self. Haxxor nodded lightly.
"You say you used to be a Diviner of the Divination Commission?"
Haxxor asked with interest. She was very intrigued by the technology of using crystal computers for cyber divination.
"Yes. So, no need to doubt my professional level. I was personally kicked out of the Divination Commission by the current Master Diviner Fu Xuan."
Caelus flicked his wrist to open the folding fan, fanning himself with immense self-satisfaction.
Haxxor's expression was strange. Why are you so proud of being fired and told to pack up and leave?
"Why were you fired?"
"Because I stole and drank her Immortal's Happy Tea. No, wait, Immortal's Happy Tea didn't give me advertising fees. So let's change it to: I accidentally stole the Master Diviner's white silk stockings to make tea. The Master Diviner flew into a rage out of humiliation and expelled me from the house in anger."
Caelus's open and candid tone made the passersby, who were listening seriously to the stall owner's background, tilt their heads and produce question marks.
What do you mean 'accidentally stole white silk stockings to make tea'?
That's just being a pervert, right!
The onlookers began to whisper among themselves.
Haxxor wore an expression that said, 'Do you think I believe that?'
"Cough, actually, the Master Diviner calculated that she would kick me out of the Divination Commission in the future, so she kicked me out of the Divination Commission."
Caelus didn't blink an eye while lying to Haxxor.
His target for bamboozling was only Little Haxxor. It didn't matter if others believed it or not; Haxxor, having just arrived, certainly couldn't judge the truth of his identity.
Haxxor blinked her bewildered little eyes.
It can work like that?
A passerby suddenly chimed in to ask:
"Little Boss, I heard the Diviners of the Divination Commission have rules: no divination without sincerity, no divination without righteousness, no divination without practice. Can you really predict lottery numbers?"
On the enormous Xianzhou Luofu, if there weren't a million Diviners in the Divination Commission, there were at least several hundred thousand. Even fellow Diviners wouldn't necessarily know all their colleagues from other districts, let alone ordinary people outside the agency.
For a moment, no one suspected the disguised Caelus; some just felt the stall owner looked a bit familiar.
"Predict, I predict it all. But lottery numbers... to capture such subtle things requires investing a massive amount of mental effort, so the price is very high."
Caelus rubbed his fingers together with a grin.
Haxxor, maintaining the vigilance of an Outworlder, didn't believe the stall owner's rhetoric. She was almost certain this gang was a bunch of scammers.
"Little sister, don't show that expression. Many Outworlders who come to the Xianzhou like you hold suspicions about divination and calculation at first, but they believe it after experiencing it personally."
Caelus closed the folding fan and tapped his palm: "Do you believe I can calculate your name?"
"I don't believe it."
Haxxor was silent for two seconds, then chuckled.
"Then I'll let you see for yourself."
Caelus sat on the wooden chair and struck a pose.
"Music... maestro. Come on."
Miss Haxxor Bunny sat down crisply on the guest seat, crossed her legs, hugged her chest with both hands, and looked at Caelus opposite her with composure:
"Make it quick!"
She had the air of 'If you can't calculate it, let's see how you get past this today.'
She had confirmed with the other self in the psychic link that she had never met this group of people. It was impossible for the other party to know her, and there were barely any people on this planet who knew 'herself.'
The area around the stall was crowded with people. Passersby were intrigued; they had never heard of a Divination Commission Diviner who could divine someone's name out of thin air.
"Come, extend your hands and place them on this."
Caelus solemnly opened the cyber divination wheel and placed it on the table.
Haxxor remained silent for a moment but still extended her hands, palms facing upward as Caelus requested.
Caelus pushed up the sunglasses on his face, tensed every part of his body, focused his attention, and stared tightly at the young girl's hands.
Delicate and soft as snow, the veins under the fair skin were faintly visible, and the nails were like falling cherry blossoms embellishing them. It was like raw material of supernatural workmanship given an exquisite sculpting that surpassed nature.
A feeling like sprinkling sugar on crisp and soft white chocolate involuntarily rose in one's heart.
I have a mouth, and Haxxor has such a pair of hands. How can there be such a coincidental thing in the world?
"Why do I feel your eyes are a bit off?"
Miss Haxxor Bunny narrowed her eyes.
"Illusion. This is a necessary process for palm reading."
Caelus was unhurried and calm, slowly placing his fingers on Haxxor's wrist.
"Why look at palmistry to calculate a name? And why are you touching my pulse now?"
Haxxor suspected this guy named Da Shi was teasing her.
Caelus didn't answer Haxxor's question. Instead, he feigned a bit of thought and asked: "Is your name two characters, three characters, or four characters?"
Haxxor hesitated for a moment and said, "Four syllables."
Whether it was her or the self from the parallel space, when facing people, they would call themselves Bronie. The other self had never spoken her true name.
In this situation, she wanted to see how this guy would deceive people.
"Good. Now look into my eyes."
Haxxor obeyed the Fortune Telling Master's words and looked at Caelus fearlessly.
Five seconds later, Haxxor watched the gray-haired young man pull a blank sheet of paper from the stack on the table, raise his hand to scribble text on it crisply, turn the paper face down on the table, and push it over.
"Come, turn it over and take a look yourself."
Haxxor looked at Caelus's confident appearance and suddenly felt something was wrong.
She turned the paper over in bewilderment, looked down, and felt even more wrong!
Written impressively on that paper in two languages was: [Bronya (布洛妮娅)].
Haxxor's dazed eyes shifted back and forth between the paper and the smiling Caelus.
W-What is this situation?
He can really calculate it!
Impossible, impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
This is too spooky!
[The other me, what is the situation?]
Haxxor couldn't hold it back anymore.
[Don't know. Maybe we really met a master of the Way of Divination?]
With Bronie's current acting skills, she could clear the mirth from her tone without a mask.
[After all, I said before that I only arrived in this world the day before yesterday. No one knows my name at all. I haven't even spoken the name Bronie.]
The transmigration time Bronie set for herself was the time point when Tiga-Stelle's Zeperion Beam hit the Stellaron.
Pin the blame on the Stellaron!
"If my calculation isn't wrong, you are also a very powerful hacker, right, little sister?"
Caelus asked with a mysterious smile.
"Y-You this..."
Haxxor was even more shocked this time. She had just transmigrated to this world!
The other parallel world self had average computer skills.
Caelus opened the folding fan and waved it a few times, continuing to ask: "Also, you and the person closest to you have been quarreling frequently recently, isn't that right?"
Bronie had learned some information from Haxxor's mouth, thereby inferring the approximate timeline within the Arc City bubble universe. Being familiar with Honkai Impact 3rd related content by heart, he could naturally state the daily relationship between Haxxor and Mama Raven.
"Hiss~!"
Haxxor sucked in a breath of cold air in her heart.
Calculating the name was one thing... no, it couldn't just be 'one thing.' Divining her name out of thin air was outrageous enough!
He even calculated her professional skills, and even her daily getting-along status with Cioara.
Spooky!
So damn spooky!
Little Haxxor suddenly felt a chill on her back.
This person is a true Master!
"Qian above Sun below is the Tian Feng Gou Hexagram. Sun above Kan below is the Feng Shui Huan Hexagram."
Caelus continued to interpret the hexagrams for the shocked Haxxor.
"Little sister, you are currently at a critical turning point in your life. Next, you must actively grasp opportunities, and you will be able to break the deadlock. 'The sea is wide for fish to leap, the sky is high for birds to fly'!"
Shoot the arrow first, then draw the target. This hexagram image can't be wrong at all!
Haxxor was shaken again in her heart!
Isn't this talking about her transmigration situation?
She can finally leave the cage of Arc City!
Haxxor used to believe in science, but now, who could explain this spooky matter to her?
Haxxor was deeply shocked. Then, she saw Da Shi's expression become strange.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Out of respect for metaphysics, Haxxor naturally changed her form of address and asked somewhat apprehensively.
"I casually helped you calculate your marriage affinity, and the result..."
