Chapter 522: 353, The Powerful Effects of Level 4 Exotic Material_2

In contrast, that dead simp who turned into a monster, Yue Qiushan, ended up with nothing despite his deep feelings.

Yang Fan said with a smile: "Close your eyes and think about that sleazy individual in your mind."

The female secretary obediently closed her eyes.

Yang Fan recited: "Taishang Laojun, by the law, bad luck shall soon visit Huo Hongjun."

He chanted it several times as if praying before he stopped.

Ling Shuiling found it somewhat amusing.

A second passed.

Yang Fan then said: "It’s done!"

Ling Shuiling opened her eyes and was shocked to see the crescent-shaped mark on the surface of the Moon Rock emitting a faint glow.

Then the pendulum began to swing by itself, starting with very small oscillations and then increasing in speed visibly.

Yang Fan smiled and said: "Amazing, right?"

The female secretary nodded forcefully and even said "mmm".

Earlier, she wasn’t too convinced, but now witnessing this scene, she completely believed her boyfriend’s words.

Additionally, because she nodded too vigorously, the long towel fell off, but Ling Shuiling was too shocked to notice.

Yang Fan glanced over, suddenly understanding the behavior of Chairman Huo’s younger son.

Two seconds later.

The pendulum stopped swinging.

The glow of the crescent mark disappeared as well.

With a wave of Yang Fan’s right hand, the Moon Rock vanished without a trace.

He feigned being a "newbie rookie" and said with uncertainty: "It should be fine now."

Ling Shuiling then noticed the towel, exclaimed "Ah", and quickly picked it up, her pretty face flushing red.

The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

Yang Fan genuinely felt that this girl had the potential of a "seductress".

Her actions were perfectly timed to tug at a man’s heartstrings.

Ling Shuiling turned her body again, exposing her fair shoulder, and asked with a blush: "What will happen to Huo Hongjun?"

After all, they were not old couples, so she felt a bit shy about what had just happened.

Yang Fan shook his head: "I don’t know."

Ling Shuiling was a bit confused.

Yang Fan explained: "I just used the Fate Pendulum to change Huo Hongjun’s fortune. Whatever misfortune that sleazy individual encounters depends on the environment he finds himself in at that time."

He paused for a moment and added: "According to my senses, he should be lying in a hospital for a while and probably suffer a bit."

Ling Shuiling asked, "Will Huo Hongjun die?"

Yang Fan shook his head: "No, he won’t die."

Ling Shuiling seemed a bit disappointed.

Yang Fan clicked his tongue silently.

After just a few glances being stolen at her, she was already thinking about taking the guy’s life. This girl is ruthless!

Ling Shuiling patted her cheeks lightly and said: "Are you thinking I’m too ruthless?"

Without waiting for Yang Fan to reply, she continued: "As far as I know, before the Age of Calamity, Huo Hongjun, relying on his family’s wealth, impregnated many female students and denied responsibility, even forcing them to get rid of it, almost causing a death once."

The female secretary immediately cursed: "That bastard really is scum!"

Yang Fan suddenly realized: "Indeed, he’s no good."

Although he said this, he had no intention of killing Huo Hongjun.

Huo Hongjun might not be a good person, but he also felt that the female students who were seduced weren’t entirely innocent either.

After tidying up her face, Ling Shuiling went to the bathroom to blow-dry her hair.

The sound of the hairdryer buzzed in the background.

After a while.

The sound suddenly stopped.

The female secretary emerged in a new set of pajamas, holding her phone with excitement and surprise: "I just got a message from my dad. Huo Hongjun slipped and broke his right arm while bathing in the shower, isn’t this too fast?"

Yang Fan wasn’t surprised at all.

This is a Level 4 Exotic Material, it’s no wonder the effect would be quick.

Ling Shuiling’s gaze changed as she looked over: "You’re truly magical!"

Yang Fan took out the Moon Rock again and shook it, smiling: "The Fate Pendulum can not only bring calamity but also good luck. Would you like to give it a try?"

The female secretary nodded without hesitation: "I want to!"

Yang Fan pondered for a moment and said: "This afternoon, during the live TV broadcast of the mammoth cub Xiaoxia, there’s a lottery draw happening. If you get selected, you can go on-site to see Xiaoxia..."

Before Ling Shuiling could finish listening, she excitedly shouted: "I want it! I want this!"

So far, the number of applicants has exceeded 300 million, but there are only 30 spots available, making it one in ten million.

This is only open to Great Xia People. If it were open to the whole world, the number would surely exceed 1.5 billion.

Yang Fan gestured with a smile: "In your heart, say ’I want to win, I want to see Xiaoxia’ while thinking about Xiaoxia."

Ling Shuiling didn’t just think it in her mind but directly chanted: "I want to win, I want to see Xiaoxia, I want to win..."

She kept chanting without stopping.

This time, the Fate Pendulum swung for quite a while, after all, the odds of winning were extremely low.

"It’s done!"

Yang Fan shouted.

Ling Shuiling opened her eyes, her pretty face full of anticipation: "Can I win?"

Yang Fan nodded: "Of course!"

He slightly lifted the red string in his hand: "There’s a simple way to see if the fortune has changed successfully.

"Just gently swing the pendulum. If the stone ball at the end keeps spinning, it means it wasn’t successful. If the stone ball doesn’t spin, then it was successful."

Yang Fan swung the red string, and the Moon Rock swayed along.

The Moon Rock remained motionless.

This indicated that the fortune had changed.

Yang Fan looked at the female secretary: "You will definitely win! The draw results will be announced at eight tonight, and you’ll see the outcome in an hour."

For a Level 4 Exotic Material, a mere one in ten million chance in a lottery is no challenge at all.

"Wow!"

Ling Shuiling exclaimed and lunged forward.

She didn’t forget to shout: "Xiaohan, turn off the lights!"

The lights turned off instantly.

Xiaohan wasn’t a person but the smart home management system of the villa.

*

Across half of the Canglan Star.

Carmenia Federation.

It was early morning.

Yang Fan, disguised as "Jack", stood in the kitchen, looking at the thick snow outside the window.

This was the result of the extreme cold impact.

Since most of the Federation’s territory is an endless flat plain with no tall mountains to the north or south, the extreme cold air sweeping down from the north had already swept over most of the Federation’s land.

In the nearby living room, the morning news was constantly being broadcasted from the TV.

"... As of now, the death toll from the extreme cold impact has exceeded 38,000."

A somewhat carefree female voice floated over: "The host is full of lies. I bet the people frozen to death across the Federation definitely exceed 380,000."

This was Grace’s voice.

She worked at the police station in the capital and had access to far more information than ordinary people, making her data highly credible.

Yang Fan nodded: "Last night, while I was out for a walk, I saw three people frozen to death."

To obtain the FICA Headquarters’ related items and drag Mr. X out of his hideout, he had been going out late every night as the "Knight Thief", accomplishing quite a few remarkable feats recently.

Grace let out a "Wow" and asked excitedly: "Jack, I heard a certain senior councilor lost a priceless Golden Mask."

She left one sentence unspoken—Is this your handiwork?

This was also an unspoken agreement between them.

The beautiful policewoman wouldn’t ask "Are you the Knight Thief?" and Yang Fan wouldn’t say "I am the Knight Thief."

"Sizz~"

Yang Fan tossed a piece of butter into the frying pan, and a fragrant aroma immediately spread.

He didn’t answer but instead asked a question: "That senior councilor looks very young, doesn’t he?"

Grace swallowed her saliva, her tone filled with wonder: "Yes, Councilor Alfred should be over fifty, but he looks like he’s just over thirty."

Only then did Yang Fan reply: "I heard from a certain source that this Golden Mask is a very evil artifact.

"It can suck the Life Force out of others, turning them into withered corpses, while the wearer of the mask can receive the mask’s gift and regain some youthful vitality."

Grace burst out with another curse: "No wonder that councilor bastard looks so young. He must have killed quite a few people, right?"

Yang Fan shrugged in a Carmenians manner: "It’s obvious."

Grace cursed: "The Federation’s high officials are utterly filthy. Even devils are cleaner than them."

Just as she finished speaking.

"Knock! Knock!"

A sudden, urgent knock came at the door.

Grace got up, ready to answer the door.

Yang Fan stopped her: "That’s Ms. Zhang next door. Are you sure you want to open the door?"

Grace paused in her tracks.
