Midsummer, cloudless.

One month after the college entrance examination, Zhou Xu returned to Binhai No. 3 Middle School again.

In the past, I could only wear school uniforms and study in frustration. Now I am liberated. Many students are wearing colorful clothes today and are smiling in twos and threes.

Zhou Xu wore a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans, looking clean and fresh.

"Holy shit, Zhou Xu, guess what I just saw? Liu Yuanyuan from the next class, the one who usually looks very good, is actually wearing a low-cut miniskirt today, so you can't tell at all on ordinary days!"

Suddenly a majestic arm hugged Zhou Xu forcefully, and his best friend Gao Hongzhen said excitedly.

Zhou Xu felt that his shoulders were slightly heavy and he tried to break away but failed, so he gave up the resistance.

Gao Hongzhen is 1.98 meters tall and very big. Zhou Xu, who is only 1.75 meters tall, looks very petite next to him.

"When did you get a short haircut?"

Zhou Xu was surprised. He hadn't seen him for a month. Gao Hongzhen's long hair, which he used to play hide-and-seek with the grade director, was missing.

"I didn't do well in the college entrance examination, so my dad asked me to help out at his fish stall. It's not convenient if I don't have long hair."

Gao Hongzhen said casually, never taking his eyes away from the female classmates passing by for a moment.

"Oh, there are so many people today."

"Can there not be too many? Today, in addition to us graduates, men and women of school age who have not attended high school in several nearby districts are also coming to take the fate test. Hey, speaking of myself, I am the same as them. Today we are all here to gamble thousands of dollars.

There is a one-in-one chance, unlike you, you can still go to college even if you fail the fortune test."

Gao Hongzhen burst into tears when he thought of this. He had been helping out at the fish stall all summer, and the smell of rotten fish and shrimp almost killed him.

"Whose fault is this? If you don't study well, I've marked all the important points for you." Zhou Xu shook his head.

"Are you still attacking me? Is this a human being?" Gao Hongzhen suddenly hugged me tighter.

"One in eight thousand." Zhou Xu struggled hard and blurted out.

"What?"

"The chance of awakening one's destiny is one in eight thousand."

Zhou Xu reminded, his dark eyes showing a little solemnity.

Regarding the fate test, he had done a lot of homework in advance. Now he looks relaxed, but he is actually very nervous.

Fortune teller, that is a completely different path from ordinary people. Today is an important turning point in his life.

Gao Hongzhen noticed Zhou Xu's prudence and stopped making noises, patting him on the shoulder encouragingly.

"Whether it's one in eight thousand or one in ten thousand, I believe you, Zhou Xu, will be able to awaken your destiny."

He sees Zhou Xu's love for news about fortune tellers on weekdays. This love even surpasses his love for short movies. At this time, he will not pour cold water on him!

The two of them were talking and laughing all the way to the class.

"Yeah, Zhou Xueba is here."

"A top student from Teito University!"

Since Zhou Xu ranked first in the school and was usually quite popular, many classmates immediately gathered around him.

Everyone discussed enthusiastically about the schools they wanted to attend and consulted each other about future professional plans.

"Humph, what's the use of getting the top spot in the exam? The most important thing today is the destiny test. Only those who have a destiny and can become fortune tellers are the talents needed in this era."

From the corner, an inappropriate voice came.

Everyone fell silent for a moment, and the person who spoke was Fang Xiujie, whose score this time was second in the class.

He and Zhou Xu never get along on weekdays, because Zhou Xu's scores always get the better of him every time he takes an exam.

Today, Fang Xiujie was wearing a high-end suit. He looked like a successful person in society, unfazed by honor and disgrace, and seemed out of place with his classmates.

"It's you, second."

Zhou Xu smiled and said hello.

"Who do you think is the second best in ten thousand years?"

Fang Xiujie's self-cultivation was instantly gone. He was so angry that he jumped up and down.

"Notice, notice!"

At this time, the radio sounded.

"The fortune test is about to begin. Please line up in an orderly manner and gather in the playground according to the instructions of the staff."

Everyone was quiet for a moment, the atmosphere became tense, and they all lined up consciously.

"Zhou Xu, let me tell you, there is no point in getting the first place in the exam. In this era of great biological disasters, destiny masters hold the power of mankind. Only those who have destiny are the proud ones of heaven!"

Fang Xiujie lined up behind Zhou Xu and sneered at him secretly.

"I know, second."

Zhou Xu responded calmly. He looked towards the playground, where many unfamiliar staff appeared and many instruments were placed.

Zhou Xu could recognize the uniforms of those people, they were members of the Fortune Master Association!

The fortune telling association has always been responsible for the annual horoscope test. They have a special relationship with the country and are said to have a high degree of autonomy. The specific horoscope is not very clear.

Following the flow of people into the playground, the sunny day suddenly darkened, and many students looked at it curiously.

There seemed to be a thin layer of gray gauze surrounding the playground.

"what happened?"

Gao Hongzhen said strangely.

"Don't you understand?"

Fang Xiujie smiled proudly, "This should be the fortune-telling ability of a certain fortune-teller to prevent the invasion of dangerous species."

"Dangerous species?"

Many students looked tense when they heard this and started talking about it.

Binhai City has been at peace for a long time. Most of the dangerous species have been isolated outside the border wall. Most of the news about them has only been heard on TV.

"Don't listen to the nonsense of the second person. Are you saying that it is fate ability? What evidence is there?"

Gao Hongzhen scoffed.

Zhou Xu was thoughtful. Not to mention the troops responsible for security outside the school, there was a staff member of the Order Master Association on duty almost every distance around the playground. He thought of the dangers he had seen many times on TV before.

Regarding the news of species attacking the fate test venue, Zhou Xu knew that what Fang Xiujie said was most likely right.

"Did you see those guards? The awakening liquid is attractive to many creatures, and the fluctuations in life energy caused by the awakening of fate can easily attract dangerous species, so the security of the test venue has always been very important."

"This playground seems to be covered with a veil. I guess it has the effect of isolating the fluctuations of life energy and reducing attraction. And the person who can do this is most likely a fortune teller."

Fang Xiujie talked eloquently. It was obvious that he, like Zhou Xu, yearned to become a fortune teller and had done a lot of homework for this purpose.

Zhou Xu raised his head and looked at the gray gauze in the air with relish. It is said that destiny is all kinds of strange. The environment, physical fitness and even personality can affect its birth. There are differences between innate and acquired, and there are also concrete and abstract theories.

If I could awaken my destiny, I wonder what it would be like?

"Each of you will get a 50ml tube of awakening fluid later. Just swallow it. Remember, don't fight for others. Drinking too much of this stuff will not be effective, but will bring risks to your body."

On the high platform of the playground, a woman from the fortune telling association wearing a peaked cap and dressed somewhat neutrally began to explain the precautions.

She didn't use a microphone, but her voice was very loud and clearly reached everyone's ears.

At the same time, the association began to distribute awakening liquid.

Soon Zhou Xu got the awakening liquid, which was a light cyan liquid in a glass tube. It was ice cold.

The students looked at the awakening liquid with eager eyes. After hearing the precautions, they couldn't wait to try it.

"how?"

Zhou Xu asked curiously after seeing Gao Hongzhen finish the drink in one gulp and smacking his lips twice.

Gao Hongzhen nodded, "It's not bad, it tastes a bit like ad calcium milk."

Zhou Xu was speechless, and opened the cork of the bottle, putting the light cyan liquid into his mouth.

Well, it does look a bit like ad calcium milk!

"After drinking the awakening liquid, the liquid will generally take effect within half an hour, and no more than an hour at the latest."

"If you have any abnormalities or discomfort in your body, please tell us immediately. Don't worry, the hospital's ambulances are right outside and there are several of them ready."

The woman in the peaked hat wrote lightly that after seeing the students become a little restless and excited after drinking, they did not listen to her and her voice suddenly rose.

"Everyone sit cross-legged and meditate!"

The sound was like thunder. The students were startled and sat down as instructed.

Zhou Xu ignored the noise around him. After drinking the awakening liquid, his left eye started to feel hot for no apparent reason.

It is said that if there is no abnormality after drinking the awakening liquid, it is probably because there is no destiny awakening.

Now his eyes, which have been blind for many years, are starting to feel hot. Maybe the awakening liquid has stimulated the body's functions. There's something wrong!
