Chapter 148: Luck Severance Skill



Chapter 148: Luck Severance Skill

“I’m the Master. I’m the one who changed your luck. My goal is to make you live a normal life without suffering any calamity. However, each person has their own fate. Life is destined to be unchangeable by the heavens. Perhaps you will encounter a calamity that you cannot overcome. In that case, go to my study and find a novel called ‘Finger’. Study this novel seriously and change your luck. However, take note of the fact that there are many disasters. If your strength is not compatible with strong luck, you will die!”

Wei Huo was a little surprised. His father had left this for him. He searched and found a third letter that had been written by Mother Wei. Wei Huo opened it and realized that his mother’s voice seemed to be echoing in his ears.

“Don’t listen to your father’s nagging. I hid a side-effect Gene Modification Medicine in your bedroom for you. It’s enough for you to become a superman. There’s a small key in the amulet I gave you. It’s the key to the secret research center I took you to. There are a lot of high-tech items and medicine there. It’s enough for you to live a carefree life!”

Wei Huo was speechless.

It was 500 years too late...

Wei Huo shook his head. As he walked toward the study, he said, “If I’d been bored and searched the room when I was young, I might have had another life.”

Wei Huo found the mysterious book when he arrived at the study. He tore off the book’s dust cover and saw an ancient scroll made of golden wire. The materials used for the ancient scroll were unusual. Wei Huo came to his senses after touching it.

It was a scroll made of divine wood. It could survive for a long time, and normal insects did not dare to eat it.

Wei Huo opened it and took a few looks. He then opened System Number Two and said, “Translate it for me.”

It was an ancient scroll with complicated words. It did not have any punctuation marks or a statement. Normal people would not understand it. Wei Huo believed that he was an average person that needed translation.

System Number Two scanned the book and said, “This book is saying that fate is decided by the heavens but luck can be changed. However, luck is hard to come by and it is weak. The book emphasizes that you have to pay for what you can’t obtain. When you go out and find money on the street, you have to pay with a portion of luck. You have to obtain a portion of luck. This is an explanation to help you understand. However, luck is not so simple to obtain and lose. Please refer to the formula Aw+Q...”

Wei Huo was confused.

He flipped through the ancient scroll but did not find a formula. He asked, “Wait, where did you get the formula?”

System Number Two said, “This is just a theory that is easy for you to understand. Have you read books about metal, wood, water, fire, and earth? These represent five attributes. You can understand them as appearance, health, calamity, wealth, and strength. You can also understand them as fate, luck, fengshui, merit, and knowledge. By adding various attributes into the formula, you can figure out how much luck you have at the moment. By changing these attributes, you can change your luck!”

Wei Huo thought about it and said, “I understand a little. It means that although a person is ugly, they are lucky. Although they are born poor, they are lucky. Although they are lucky, they are plagued with trouble. However, once they survive thanks to luck, their luck will increase again. That’s what the main character is like. Although some people are tall, rich, and handsome, they are unlucky. Once they meet the main character, they can only give away their wealth and women. That’s what the villain is like. This world may seem unfair, but it’s actually fair. Although Einstein is smart, he’s not very good-looking. Although Hawking is powerful, he lost his health. Perhaps there are people in the world who are handsome, rich, and lucky. However, they are bound to suffer many disasters. That’s balance. That’s the way luck works. The Luck Severance Skill is a method that blocks and takes the luck of others. It can even graft another person’s luck onto oneself. It’s basically a Protagonist Creation Book!”

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...”
