From this moment on, Liu Sandao began to personally dispense fortunate fruits.
Flipping to the second page, a name automatically appeared in the blank space of the manual: Cui Fengzhi, a four-star person.
Indeed, the four stars were full, but the originally bright yellow-orange luster now appeared somewhat dim, even flickering in and out of existence.
Liu Sandao, mimicking Fu Ruhai, drew a picture next to her name with his pen.
A fortunate fruit-like object immediately appeared on the paper.
However, this fruit looked a bit thin, even as if it would crumble at a light squeeze.
"Quick, throw the fortunate fruit!"
Fu Ruhai shouted.
Liu Sandao hastily picked up the fortunate fruit, preparing to throw it.
But just then, a little boy appeared on the road.
He was coming out of the village, walking towards the fields.
He looked about seven or eight years old, hopping and skipping along the way.
Seeing the old woman, he called out from a distance, "Grandma, wait! Grandma, wait!"
It turned out to be the old woman's grandson.
Upon hearing this, the old woman's heart brightened, and she looked up at the little boy.
However, her footsteps didn't stop. She missed her footing and stumbled towards the small ditch beside the road.
Liu Sandao quickly aimed the fortunate fruit at Cui Fengzhi. Before he could throw it, Fu Ruhai pointed to the Manual of Fortune.
At this moment, on Cui Fengzhi's previous page, a name appeared: Cui Sndan, a five-star person, with five dazzling stars.
Liu Sandao did not understand Fu Ruhai's intention and threw the fortunate fruit to Cui Fengzhi as quickly as possible.
But the fortunate fruit fell to the ground upon hitting Cui Fengzhi's head.
Liu Sandao was greatly surprised. Could he not use his own fortunate fruit?
Fu Ruhai reacted quickly, using a small spell to retrieve the fortunate fruit that had fallen on the ground and casually tossed it to Cui Sandan.
The fortunate fruit actually hit his head with a thud.
Cui Fengzhi's body was already tilting towards the ditch.
It was a small stream, not deep enough to drown someone. But for some reason, she fell headfirst into it.
At her age, her body was not as robust as a young person's. Falling in this position, she was likely in grave danger.
Cui Sandan, however, was quick-witted. He immediately jumped into the ditch, and it seemed he would catch Cui Fengzhi before she fully fell in.
But due to his young age and lack of strength, he failed to hold on.
Cui Fengzhi's head submerged into the water, without even a struggle.
Liu Sandao did not intervene, remaining like an observer.
Fu Ruhai was also an observer and did not intervene.
But Fu Ruhai understood that her time had come.
Liu Sandao only saw from the Manual of Fortune that a sixth star had half-lit up after Cui Sandan's five stars.
And Cui Fengzhi's name completely disappeared from the Manual of Fortune.
Liu Sandao understood that Cui Fengzhi had given her remaining fortune to Cui Sandan.
But she was only a four-star person. Would her fortune extend to Cui Sandan?
Each person has their own fate; this is the Way of Heaven.
Fu Ruhai had repeatedly told himself this principle since his descent.
Of course, as a god now, he could not comprehend the emotional state of mortals.
It was like mortals observing ants; their lives and deaths seemed irrelevant to them.
After this incident concluded, the two quickly withdrew their physical forms and returned to the classroom.
In the classroom, the teacher was still lecturing. Liu Sandao looked at the blackboard, but his mind was replaying the usage of the Manual of Fortune.
And the fortunate fruit that could not be delivered.
If a fortunate fruit was not meant for a certain person to receive, they would not accept it.
Just like Cui Fengzhi could have lived a few more days if she had received the fortunate fruit, but the recipient turned out to be Cui Sandan.
And regarding the settlement, when did it take place?
How many more secrets did this Manual of Fortune hold? He needed to study it thoroughly.
...
There were no classes in the afternoon. After eating, Liu Sandao stayed in the dormitory.
Mei Ziqi and Fang Zonghai had gone somewhere, and Fu Ruhai had also left mysteriously.
Another excursion where Liu Sandao was not invited.
Liu Sandao then dedicated himself to studying the Manual of Fortune.
He opened the manual, and many names appeared before his eyes.
He first looked at the names of his classmates: Huo Jinli (four stars), Jin Jiaying (five stars), Du Nan (five stars)... Mei Ziqi (four stars), Fang Zonghai (five stars)...
It was strange. There wasn't a single person with six stars or more in the class. Were they destined to be ordinary people?
Another point was that their pages were currently dim and lusterless, like ordinary book pages.
It seemed that the names would only emit light when it was time to dispense fortunate fruits.
Then he looked at some other names; they were also ordinary, many being five-star, four-star, and three-star individuals.
It seemed he needed to practice quickly and become proficient in using the Manual of Fortune, so he wouldn't have to follow Fu Ruhai around all day.
He wouldn't have to endure strange glances anymore.
As a god, he naturally had to be independent and not always be someone's follower.
As the door opened, a figure entered the dormitory.
It was Mei Ziqi!
He came in boisterously and immediately opened his wardrobe to find clothes.
It looked like he was getting ready to play soccer, his only interest.
"Brother Dao, studying? You're about to graduate, no need to be so diligent."
He spoke to Liu Sandao while getting dressed.
As soon as he entered, he saw Liu Sandao holding a book, which seemed to be economics or something similar.
The cover looked like economics.
In fact, mortals could not see the Manual of Fortune.
Liu Sandao did not reply, and Mei Ziqi said no more, seemingly accustomed to it.
Just then, with a "bang!" a ball struck the slightly ajar dormitory door.
The force was so great that it made the door "clang" against the adjacent wall.
That was Fang Zonghai's bunk; he was not in the dormitory.
"Damn it, who is it, kicking our dorm door so arrogantly!"
Mei Ziqi cursed.
At this moment, a figure stood at the doorway.
He was about 1.78 meters tall, not tall but very stocky.
"Hu Tianhan! Are you sick, always kicking our dorm door!"
Mei Ziqi complained.
Hu Tianhan said nothing, staring fiercely at Mei Ziqi.
He didn't take Mei Ziqi seriously at all.
Just a poor student from the countryside, his grades weren't great, and he worked part-time in restaurants near the school.
As an economics student, this was truly contemptible.
Who didn't know that people in economics should understand economics? Menial labor jobs were the most unpromising.
With that time, wouldn't it be better to ponder how to get rich?
Poverty was truly destined from birth!
"I kicked your dorm door, and what can you do about it?"
Mei Ziqi stopped talking. In fact, this wasn't the first time.
If he dared to do this, there must be his classmates behind him.
They were from another class, and because they played soccer well, several of them were on the school soccer team.
What was most unbearable was that Liu Sandao watched them study motionlessly, letting the door remain open.
Hu Tianhan looked at Liu Sandao and suddenly became interested.
"Oh, what's this pretty boy pretending for? Is there a sugar mommy in that book? I heard you're planning to be kept after graduation, so what are you still reading for?"
Liu Sandao did not reply, but casually flipped open the Manual of Fortune to the page concerning Hu Tianhan:
Hu Tianhan, a two-star person.
