Chapter 315: The Right Bet

After all, his time was limited, and Joo Joowon’s energy was limited as well. It was already quite impressive that one person could find so many suitable materials. There would inevitably be places he had overlooked.

In Joo Joowon’s original plan, as long as the practical value of the building materials reached an acceptable standard for their maximum price range, that would be enough.

After all, no matter how carefully he calculated everything, he would certainly not be able to compare with a faction that could divide the work among many people and rack their brains together to discuss and come up with a plan.

Therefore, after Seong Seungmin’s suggestion, Joo Joowon readily accepted his advice and replaced some of the materials.

Of course, the main reason he was not afraid of being scammed was that he had calculated everything beforehand. He only agreed to changes that produced an auspicious result. Anything that could not be predicted, as well as anything for which the predicted result was bad, was rejected by him.

He did not even need to know the actual result. By simply looking at how much Fortune was consumed, he could roughly determine whether the outcome would be good or bad.

This was also thanks to Seong Seungmin.

As the saying went, disaster comes from one’s own words. Since replacing the materials had been his suggestion, it caused their fortunes to become even more deeply entangled.

What most people did not know was that since the Harbinger of Endless Misfortune could make others suffer bad luck and use it to benefit himself, he could naturally also rely on this connection to "borrow fortune." Otherwise, relying solely on Joo Joowon’s current fortune, it would truly have been impossible for him to perform so many divinations so frequently.

Even with Byeol included, it still would not be enough.

However, after being messed with by him like this, Seong Seungmin might be the one who suffered in the end...

In such a short period of time, Joo Joowon had already taken advantage of Seong Seungmin so many times. He was completely picking on the same sheep over and over again. Even though Joo Joowon had a high level of awareness, he could not help but feel a little guilty at this moment. However, feeling guilty was one thing, and it did not affect his actions at all.

Now that the Lord’s Manor had been completed, all Joo Joowon needed to do was select the confirmation to receive the order in the shop, and Seong Seungmin would be teleported back.

He could not help but look toward him.

Seong Seungmin had been busy for such a long time, so it was inevitable that some dust had gotten onto his body. He instinctively stretched his body and shook his wolf fur, shaking the dust off.

This kind of habitual behavior that came naturally to an animal was something that no human would do no matter how much they tried to imitate one. Seeing it made Joo Joowon’s heart stir slightly.

He could not help asking, "Your fate should be relatively tough, right?"

"Huh?" Seong Seungmin froze for a moment, then hesitantly said, "I... I think so."

He did not think too much about it. "Boss, do you want to go inside and take a look to see if there is anything else that needs to be modified?"

"No need." Joo Joowon smiled. "Then I can rest assured."

He swiped across the panel and selected the option to confirm receipt.

[ System Notification: Teleportation will begin in 10 seconds. Please confirm that the surrounding area is safe. If you are currently in combat, there is a chance that an unknown error may occur during teleportation. ]

Hearing the voice beside him, Seong Seungmin hurriedly asked, "Boss, you still haven’t told me what your profession is!"

Without knowing his profession, it would be very difficult to gather specific resources.

They could not sign a contract right now. Otherwise, it would attract the system’s monitoring and cause it to descend. They could only understand each other’s intentions and take advantage of certain opportunities to secretly bring private goods over.

Joo Joowon sensed the Fate Star that was shining brightly and his eyebrows moved slightly. "Astral Diviner."

Seong Seungmin’s eyes widened. He immediately understood why Joo Joowon had been able to descend into the new zone. So he was from the Astral Palace!

Among the Fate Path professions, the people who could frequently descend into the mortal world were those people from the Astral Palace. However, in the past, it had always been True Gods who descended into the mortal world. They usually descended as NPCs and Bosses when a new expansion was opened. Among reincarnated players, there had not been any similar news revealed so far.

But just because no news had been revealed did not mean that none existed.

If there was any profession that was most likely to accomplish something like this, then it could only be the Heavenly Court, the Astral Palace, and certain True God churches that had conducted extensive research into reincarnated bodies.

This time, he had truly made the right bet!

Seong Seungmin could not help but feel a little pleased.

Joo Joowon silently watched Seong Seungmin’s figure being swallowed up. Only after he could no longer see him did he finally show a trace of pity.

As everyone knew, the Harbinger of Endless Misfortune damaged others to replenish himself, but this kind of situation was usually passive. This was the first time he had seen someone voluntarily take on this task.

The cultivation of a Harbinger of Endless Misfortune was to make others suffer misfortune in order to replenish oneself. The higher the other person’s level, the more Star Fiend and Star Fortune could be accumulated, until the other person was eventually ruined by the misfortune.

Hopefully, he could hold out a little longer...

After all, Joo Joowon had originally not intended to place this matter on Seong Seungmin. No matter what, the other’s rank was higher than his own.
