Chapter 265: Unlucky Sign

Rather than saying that his talent was truly this good, it would be more accurate to say that Byeol and Hwi were powerful enough to support him.

Joo Joowon could not sense how much of his current fortune had been consumed. However, judging from the fact that Hwi had fallen into a deep sleep, it was obvious that when it used his skill, he had definitely not cared about the amount of fortune he was consuming from himself. This kind of situation could not be wasted, so he immediately got up, dressed properly, said goodbye to Byeol and the others, and went out.

Byeol instinctively wanted to chase after Joo Joowon. He had only run a few steps when he suddenly stopped, his face filled with shock.

What is going on? Where did my Star Fiend and Star Fortune go? Why are they both empty? When did I use them?

Byeol pressed down his ears, extremely confused. He clearly remembered that he still had plenty left.

The energy he had obtained from chewing zombie Core had also been used to repair his body. He had not used any of his other abilities, so how could they be empty now?

A huge question mark continued to circle around in its mind. Byeol could only lie at the doorway and watch Joo Joowon leave helplessly. A person with an overly weak destiny was prone to suddenly encountering unexpected disasters. Without the support of Star Fortune and Star Fiend, he did not dare leave the house.

For stray animals, the first skill they learned from the moment they were born was to observe the situation and act according to it. Byeol would not easily break this iron rule eithim.

After all, as a supernatural creature that was relatively sensitive to fluctuations in fortune, he could sense whether or not he was suitable for it to go outside.

Byeol irritably flicked his tail, unable to help feeling somewhat worried.

Will the pooper scooper get into trouble going out alone?

He looks so weak, and he never sharpens his claws.

The more Byeol thought about it, the more irritated it became. Yet, at that exact moment, Hwi's snoring happened to come from beside him. Byeol immediately could not hold back and turned around, giving Hwi a big slap on the head.

Hwi opened his eyes in a daze. "?"

Sleeping was the best way to digest energy, so Hwi was actually not being lazy. He was "cultivating."

He took quite a while for Hwi to finally come back to his senses. Then he suddenly jumped up from the ground.

Where's my dad?! Where's my dad who was this big?!

"Meow?" Hwi spun around in place, crawled around in a gloomy and strange manner, and howled wildly.

Byeol swung its cat paw and angrily slapped Hwi several times.

"Meeow!"

Stop meowing! Are you crazy? Who are you trying to attract here?!

"Mewow!" Hwi flattened his ears sadly, his chubby body curling into a ball. This time, he stopped crying out, but he began darting wildly all over the room as if he had hyperactivity.

A cold light flashed in Byeol's eyes. Hwi had clearly been the same size as him before, a carefree and plump cat that had never even gotten angry from being fat. Why had he become like this now?

If Byeol could not still sense something familiar and unchanged from Hwi, he really would have wanted to assassinate him.

Hwi was completely unaware of Byeol's murderous aura and continued squirming wildly around the room.

...

Joo Joowon: "???"

Looking at the Separation Anxiety displayed in the Status section of Hwi's panel, he could not help feeling somewhat bewildered.

Hwi has this problem too?

...

[ Status: Separation Anxiety ]

Category: Debuff

Effect: Restless mood, Mental Power continuously decreases by 1 point every 3 hours

...

He then looked at Byeol's panel. Perhaps because Hwi had already fallen into a deep sleep, the Status section finally appeared at this moment.

...

[ Status: Mild Injury ]

Category: Debuff

Effect: Depressed, anxious, and irritable mood, affects injury recovery, lasts for 2 hours

...

Byeol is injured?

Joo Joowon was a little confused. Could it have gotten into a fight with Hwi?

However, judging from the description, the injury was not serious. It could recover in just two hours, so its condition was much lighter than Hwi's.

Losing one point of Mental Power every three hours was not too bad, but Joo Joowon still did not quite understand. Byeol was clearly still at home, so how could Hwi still have Separation Anxiety? Their relationship should have been quite good.

But no matter what, he definitely would not bring them out with him now. He had the assistance of Mental Power, as well as [Super Vision], so he was not afraid of the darkness around him. However, Hwi and the others could not do the same. If he brought them out, he would also have to pay attention to their safety, which was not suitable.

He ran over to the wheel loader. There was still a strong stench of rotting flesh around the area. The ground had become somewhat emptier, but when he stepped on it, he could feel the uneven surface beneath his feet. One step was deep and the next was shallow. Clearly, other creatures had come here to search for food after he left.

He glanced at the Vitality Theft skill. Joo Joowon was not sure whether zombies would still be affected by destiny, but even if he put this skill aside, with his current attributes, he was not afraid of being surrounded and attacked.

But when Joo Joowon climbed into the cab and was about to start the wheel loader, he suddenly stopped before starting it.

He had almost forgotten. He was a fortune teller now. How could he possibly make a move without first calculating a divination for himself?

Considering the current sky, where he could not even see the heavens clearly, Joo Joowon naturally could not do something like observing the stars at night.
