After coming home, Gary felt utterly distressed. However, he didn’t show that on his face.
” I am really sorry, Gary.” Susane sighed as she sat on the couch. ” I tried to stop them. But the crowd was huge and someone already called the ambulance.”
” It’s alright, Mom. At least you are ok now.” Gary replied with a smile. ” From now on, Be careful on the road, ok?”
” But what was the bill?” Susane asked suddenly. ” It must be huge, right?”
” Ah, About the bill, you don’t need to worry.” Gary thought for a moment as he hurriedly replied. ” I mean, you know I study in Elysian High, right? So, using my student card, I managed to cover quite a lot. It cost two thousand dollars.”
” Is that so?” Susane seemed to sigh in relief.
‘ Haah, I can’t let Mom know I spent so much on the medical bills. She will ask where I got so much money.’
‘ Fuck! I was preparing to use that money to go to some high end antique shops. But it ruined my plan.’
‘ How could it happen? Such a fucking bad luck.’
Gary clenched his fist for a moment before releasing it with a sigh. ‘ Anyway, Whatever happened, happened. I should look forward now.’
After all, he has the future diary. With the help of it, there is no way he would not be able to reach the pinnacle.
With a deep breath, he stretched out his palm. Suddenly, light particles gathered as a bronze grimoire appeared on his palm.
Every time Gary sees it, he can’t help but feel with awe. After all, a book that predicts the future, it’s something straight out of a fairytale.
‘ But it’s true. And this is in my hands.’
Opening the page, Gary saw words flashing on the top of the page.
[ Today, A special B rank treasure, Scarab Bracelet, has appeared in Sunshine Auction house, getting auctioned at eight thousand dollars]
‘ Fuck! Fucking fuck!’
Gary felt the blood welling up in his throat once again when he saw the note. He realized what kind of opportunity he missed.
‘ Fuck! If I had the original ten grand, I would have purchased it. A fucking B rank treasure!’
The Ring of Weakness is a low rank treasure. However, for Gary, its value was immense. He couldn’t imagine how powerful a B rank treasure would be.’
‘ No, I can’t give up! I must try! I need to get this treasure no matter what.’
However, the eight thousand dollars was probably the base price it was going to get sold in the auction. If Gary wants to buy it, he needs to prepare at least ten to twelve grand as a contingency.
With a deep breath, he tried to flip the page. Suddenly, a sting of pain spread from his fingertips to all over his body. Gary winced in pain, but he didn’t stop.
He used all his power to flip the page, even if his fingers started to bleed.
” Arrrghhh!”
Gary suddenly flipped back, curling on the ground as he cried in pain. However, he kept his voice suppressed, He didn’t want his mother to worry about him.
Although he has the future diary, there are still limitations on how much he can use.
He can open the diary once per day, and the information about the future events he will get would be pretty random.
Last time he tried to flip the page again, he experienced a similar pain, making him blackout for an entire day. However, this time he decided to take the risk.
[ On the date of xx/xx, the stocks of Star X will increase more than ten times]
” Haha…Hahahaha!”
Gary rolled on the floor as he laughed out loud, ” I did it! I…I did it!”
‘ This date is tomorrow’s date…I still have a thousand dollars. With this, I can multiply my money by ten…’
‘ Too bad, I guess the B grade treasure will be lost.’ Gary wiped the trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth.
‘ But, Most treasures are in sealed states. If the one who bought it doesn’t know, I would have a chance of getting it in the future.’
Gary slowly got up as he crawled on the bed. But for now on, he has to cope with pain and endure it for the next few hours.

[ Ding! Host stole the chance of Gary Watson! Gary Watson’s Destiny -50! Host gets +50 Destiny! Host gets +3000 Fortune Points]
Jun Tianyun was sitting on his terrace when he saw the system prompt.
” Interesting. Are you going to suck him dry too?”
Su Qingyao approached him from behind, wiping the white stains from the corner of her lips.
Jun Tianyun looked at the evening scenery before him as he hummed lightly. ” Maybe? Maybe not?”
” I haven’t planned yet. I am thinking that the usual grab and kill the Sons of Heaven approach would be too inefficient.”
” Besides, I have another thing to do.”
He looked at Su Qingyao. ” Take all my 200 Destiny points and give it to Big Sister Ronghua.”
” Are you sure?” Su Qingyao raised her brows. Jun Tianyun nodded. ” I need to break that villainess halo on her. I don’t want anything bad to happen to her.”
” Pretty concerned about your elder sister, eh?” Su Qingyao pursed her lips as she closed her eyes. ” Very well, Allow me to transfer the destiny to her.”
” Umm…”
Su Qingyao’s eyebrows creased as she opened her eyes. A strange glimmer flashed in her dark eyes, making her frown.
” What happened, Big Sister Qingyao?” Jun Tianyun noticed the subtle change as he asked hurriedly.
” I…I can’t…I can’t transfer the destiny to him.” Su Qingyao turned around and looked at him.
” What do you mean?” Jun Tianyun couldn’t help but be anxious.
” I mean, 200 Destiny points isn’t enough to lessen the misfortune of Jun Ronghua.” Su Qingyao explained.
” You know that Destiny point can alter a person’s fate, right? Like positive destiny points can lead a person reach great heights while negative destiny can cause even the richest person ruined overnight.”
” However, Jun Ronghua is a peculiar case. Her misfortune is in a locked state.” Su Qingyao thought for a moment as she replied.
” It’s like, she is chosen as the necessary villainess of the world. One in another way, she is destined to get defeated and become the stepping stone for those who defeated her.”
” What? What is this bullshit?” Jun Tianyun’s face turned ugly when he heard Su Qingyao.
” Are you saying I can’t save Sister Ronghua? Even if I spend destiny points?”
” That’s not true.” Su Qingyao rubbed her chin as she pondered.
” You just need at least three to four thousand destiny points to alter her fate. However, even that is dubious.”
” Not to mention, if you use all the destiny points to help her, What are you going to do? Do not forget you are still in a weakened state.”
Jun Tianyun clenched his teeth as he took a few deep breaths. ” Well, Destiny points… It’s not an issue. There is something I have been planning for a while.”
” You know what? If you can’t defeat someone in chess, if you have power…Why not flip the board itself?
Jun Tianyun looked at the distant sky as his lips curled.
” Especially when you don’t care about the white or black pieces…Does it matter if you flip the board to win?”
Su Qingyao’s eyes squinted when she heard that. ” What are you planning, My devious lord?”
” You shall see soon.” Jun Tianyun shook his head with a light smile as he turned around.
” Come, We are going to an auction. I need to take the little treasure of Gary, right?”
