BXBX NOVEL Chapter 96 - 96: God’s Treasure Box! Ten Amulets!
Jiang City Daily, the front-page headline today was impressive.
“Jiaxin Shopping Mall Uncovers Major Safety Hazard, Smart Boss Evacuates Crowd and Engages Firefighters to Tackle the Issue.
“According to the on-site personnel survey feedback, if a fire were to break out without timely warning, the mall’s packed crowd could’ve led to thousands of casualties.”
Li Yidao groggily opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw on his phone was this news.
Phew…
It looked like the crisis had been averted completely.
Well, at least the mall owner showed some decency.
When Li Yidao saw the system’s death warning, he knew that getting in touch with the owner would likely resolve the crisis.
And now, it seemed to have worked…
“Why the pounding headache?” Li Yidao slowly got up, rubbing his temples.
But as he was about to put on his shoes, something felt off!
Wait… He never took off his shoes!
Not just that! He didn’t even change his clothes!
At that moment, it was like he had forgotten something important! “What went down yesterday?” His gut told him that something definitely happened.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t piece it together! “Ah, whatever. Probably just exhausted last night and dozed off like this.” “But I’ve got to figure out how to stop those darn nightmares.”
“I wonder where that little rascal Li Yinuo disappeared to. Where the heck did she find that stone? I should go find one too…” he muttered to himself.
While grumbling, Li Yidao ordered breakfast for himself on his phone.
Then, yawning, he strolled to the front desk and rolled up the shutters…
As a ray of sunshine streamed in from outside, Li Yidao felt much better.
It was a beautiful day with clear skies, but unfortunately… not quite fitting for a funeral shop.
Just then, a gentle breeze wafted in, carrying the smell of burnt paper.
“What the heck is this?” He frowned and looked outside the shop.
As the rolling shutter rose, Li Yidao was stunned to see a pile of ashes at his shop’s entrance.
“Hey, who the heck burned paper in front of my place?!” Li Yidao was instantly exasperated!
Sure, it was a funeral shop, but that didn’t mean anyone could burn paper here!
“Bad luck.”
“What a jinx…”
With a sigh, he grabbed a bucket of water and poured it over the remaining ashes to wash them away.
But…
Li Yidao didn’t notice something…
As he poured the water and returned to the room, the ashes had formed a scythe-like symbol!
It lasted for a second before dispersing with the wind…
Inside the hotel room, Sister Zhou and her family couldn’t sleep all night.
Yesterday, they had witnessed everything Li Yidao did through his livestream!
Even after Li Yidao ended the livestream, they kept refreshing the comments under his account!
They were also checking all the news related to the shopping mall!
Even Sister Zhou’s father went to the mall to observe the situation!
It was incredible!
His powers made them feel fear once again!
He followed hundreds of people.
And he single-handedly influenced the entire public opinion!
Through this process, he extinguished an impending disaster!
What did this represent?!
It meant Brother Dao can truly predict the future!
And his predictions were scarily accurate!
He could even know the exact circumstances of death!
This was the intuition of Sister Zhou’s father, an experienced investigator!
If Brother Dao couldn’t know the details of death, how could he lead people step by step with just tiny hints?
At first glance, everything Li Yidao did seemed illogical!
But in fact, it all connected like a tightly woven puzzle!
From the initial followings that drew everyone’s attention to a simple hint that sparked people’s thoughts, as well as the crazy surge of his following list, he guided everyone!
Finally, he directly followed the manager and owner of the shopping mall, pointing them in the right direction! In short, Li Yidao succeeded in the end!
However!
At this moment, Zhou Tianqi looked conflicted.
He noticed something important!
Li Yidao didn’t give a direct warning!
Instead, he used a series of methods to remind everyone!
What did this mean?
It meant some netizens might be right.
Li Yidao could not reveal the secrets of heaven!
If that was the case, he wouldn’t be able to tell Zhou Tianqi why his daughter was in danger!
What should he do?
What could he do?
He sat in the living room, smoking one cigarette after another, his brows furrowed.
“Brother Zhou! Think of a way! What should we do?” Sister Zhou’s mother’s eyes were bloodshot.
But what could Zhou Tianqi do now?
He couldn’t just approach Li Yidao, as Qi Yuqiang had warned. It would take time.
Now, all he could do was wait to see how things played out.
Seeing Zhou Tianqi silent, Sister Zhou’s mother gritted her teeth!
“Fine! If you can’t do anything, I’ll go! Even if I have to kneel before Li Yidao, I must ask him what he wants! What can we do to save my girl!”
With that, Sister Zhou’s mother rushed out of the room.
Sister Zhou, who was beside her, subconsciously wanted to grab her, but it was too late.
Seeing his wife already out of the door, Zhou Tianqi hurriedly got up.
“Hey, don’t act recklessly!” He followed after her. Only Sister Zhou and her assistant were left in the room.
Seeing this scene, Sister Zhou’s eyes were a little dazed.
Could she survive this?
Li Yidao had no idea that Zhou Tianqi and his wife were rushing to the funeral shop at that moment.
Even if he knew, he wouldn’t pay any attention to it.
The hint of the fire disaster had made him feel like he was dancing on a tightrope!
If it weren’t for the fact that over a thousand lives were at stake, he wouldn’t have been so reckless.
By the way, it seemed like his mission was completed, right?
While having breakfast, Li Yidao checked the system notifications.
Sure enough!
The mission had already been marked as completed last night.
He received a 1/100 lifespan reward, a total of 365 years!
And there was also a God’s Treasure Box!
He took a deep breath, feeling somewhat excited as he chose to open it!
The familiar sound of the system notification rang out. [Congratulations on using God’s Treasure Box. You received 10 amulets.] [Amulet, ward off disasters and bring good fortune!]
The reward was simple, just ten folded amulets in the shape of triangles.
The introduction was also straightforward.
They were no different from the amulets sold in ordinary temples.
Li Yidao fell into contemplation.
“Is this all I get after taking the risk of completing the task? Seriously?” “Come on, system, you’re being stingy with the God’s Treasure Box?”
The huge gap between the reward and his high hopes made Li Yidao couldn’t help but complain.
He helplessly tossed the ten talismans on the counter nearby.
He continued to eat his meal.
Ten minutes later, Li Yidao casually threw the takeout box into the trash can.
He planned to close the shop and take a stroll outside.
After all, there wouldn’t be any customers at this time.
He had been feeling a bit tired these past few days.
It would be nice to clear his mind with a leisurely walk.
He might even encounter a couple of clients.
It seemed more beneficial to do actual business now!
Not only would he receive lifespan rewards, but he would also gain useful skill rewards!
So far, all five skills he had acquired through the system were incredibly powerful.
But before he could step out of the shop, a woman rushed in with an anxious expression on her face.
What was going on? Who was this woman?
Li Yidao instinctively stood in place, waiting for her to speak.
But soon, he noticed that a man was closely following the woman into the shop, looking equally anxious. He recognized the man’s face.
It was none other than Zhou Tianqi.
What was he doing here again?
Li Yidao couldn’t help but feel exasperated.
What was the matter this time?
It must be about Zhou’s sister, right?
