Chapter 1446 - 727: Magic Tricks
Liu Baoguo glanced over and signaled them to quickly take their things and leave.
At this moment, the prompt sound of the system echoed in Lin Beichen’s mind. The live streaming system permissions have been activated, and the live streaming mode is about to commence. Hidden achievements can be gained during the stream, and points can be redeemed for rewards.
Lin Beichen was secretly delighted, but he maintained a calm exterior and directly asked Liu Baoguo, "Recently, have you been experiencing setbacks in your career, losing out on everything you try?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Baoguo immediately knelt in front of Lin Beichen.
"You’re amazing, so accurate! I’m begging you, please help me and change my fortune."
It turned out that Liu Baoguo had a major project at hand, which would make him a manager if successful. He was very committed to this project. Everything was ready, just waiting for the contract to be signed. But then the other party suddenly told him the project was canceled, citing Feng Shui issues.
He could only consider it bad luck but wasn’t willing to let go of the opportunity. So, he worked hard to secure an even bigger project. This time he was full of confidence and had thought everything through, but at the critical moment, the presentation materials he had prepared went missing.
He started investigating this matter but found nothing. He had never offended anyone in the company and was generally well-liked, with everyone greeting him. No one would do such a thing to him.
Liu Baoguo’s prepared documents disappeared without reason, which was quite illogical. He thus concluded that his luck had been bad lately, with everything going against him.
Originally, the audience from those experts’ live rooms had all been redirected to Lin Beichen’s live room. They thought the treasure appraisal activity had ended and were regretful, still clueless about Lin Beichen’s true identity.
However, the page turned, and they found themselves in Lin Beichen’s live room, seeing familiar faces again. So, they stayed and didn’t leave. Seeing Liu Baoguo kneel before Lin Beichen, they started to become curious about Lin Beichen’s identity.
"What is Lin Beichen’s true identity? Could he be the superior of this family, disguised today to find out about so many treasures at home, and when he revealed his identity, Liu Baoguo realized he was exposed and knelt to beg for mercy?"
"First of all, it’s certain that Lin Beichen is so young, he couldn’t possibly be an elder of this family."
"Lin Beichen’s identity must be extraordinary; no way everyone can guess his real identity."
The system also noticed the audience’s speculation about Lin Beichen’s identity, so it sent a barrage over. It even read out a few particularly interesting guesses to Lin Beichen.
Listening to this, Lin Beichen was amused by the audience’s imagination, at how they could come up with such identities for him.
"Hey, get up, no need to kneel."
Seeing Liu Baoguo still kneeling on the ground, Lin Beichen hurriedly responded and helped him up. By this time, Liu Baoguo’s legs were starting to go numb from kneeling, though it had only been a short while, but being a middle-aged man with a portly body, he couldn’t kneel for long like this.
"Great master, please tell me, why have things turned out this way for me lately?"
"The reason you’ve ended up like this is that you’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have, and your home has been laid with an array. Unless the array is broken, your fortune won’t improve, and you’ll continue to be unlucky."
Upon hearing this, Liu Baoguo was stunned. How could someone lay an array in his house? Aside from some experts who had visited recently, no one else had been to his home.
"Think carefully about whether you’ve encountered anything strange during this period."
Liu Baoguo thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I once scolded a monk. That monk wasn’t from a monastery but wandering outside begging for alms. Somehow he targeted me, thinking I was wealthy, and kept pestering me. I was annoyed at the time and scolded him a few times."
He recalled the scene at the time, where the monk stretched out his hand and said, "This benefactor, you have a kind face and heart, and family wealth. I am wandering penniless, can you spare some alms?"
It was basically him wanting Liu Baoguo to give him some money. Liu Baoguo sized him up and down, thinking, although he was a monk, he had all his limbs and could work for his living, so why was he asking for money? Hence, he didn’t want to pay attention to him.
Yet the monk wouldn’t give up without getting what he wanted, continuing to follow him for money. At the time, Liu Baoguo had other business to deal with, and the monk’s actions completely irritated him. So, he started to curse, "You lazy monk, can’t you earn your keep? Why are you asking money from me? You’re not even a beggar on the street, who has disabilities and can’t earn money!"
After cursing, he left, completely ignoring the monk’s gaze turning exceedingly malicious.
Upon hearing his story, Lin Beichen immediately noticed the crux of the problem.
"Did you ever take anything from him? If not, then he couldn’t have cursed you out of nowhere or set an array in your house without any contact with you."
Liu Baoguo thought for a while. He indeed hadn’t taken anything from others, but later, someone did give him a Peace Talisman. He thought it was given out of good intentions, so he accepted it and kept it with him.
It seemed that ever since he had that Peace Talisman, his luck went downhill. He had thrown the Peace Talisman away somewhere.
Now that Lin Beichen said his house had an array set up, it must be because he didn’t throw the Peace Talisman outside, but brought it home, causing all this.
