As these rumors spread, the first batch of netizens who had mocked and joked under Jiang Feng's post quickly came to apologize:
"I have a mental illness, I apologize to the prophet..."
"I am a primary school student, I also apologize..."
"Please accept my apology..."
"Apologize to the great prophet..."
"Respect to the good prophet..."
"I am a fan now..."
...
Meanwhile, Jiang Feng was sitting on a private beach with Xiao Guo, hugging her, facing the sunset and blowing the sea breeze. In his mind, a series of wonderful system prompt sounds kept ringing:
"Congratulations, host. You have made Chen Kaifu believe that you are a prophet. Fan value +1."
"Congratulations, host. You have made Zhao Xiaoxiao believe that you are a prophet. Fan value +1."
"Congratulations, host. You have made Sun Wukong believe that you are a prophet. Fan value +1."
...
When the prompt sounds started to slow down, he logged into the East Sea People's Exchange website on his phone and clicked on his post that had been pinned and had reached 5,000 comments, and it seemed to still be growing. There were endless apologies, thanks, and worship.
Jiang Feng only glanced at it briefly, losing interest and throwing his phone aside. He was more concerned about the system's tasks.
As if on cue, the system's prompt sound rang out:
"Congratulations, host. You have completed a random task and received a surprise draw."
"Host, would you like to start the draw now?"
Jiang Feng eagerly chose "yes". After receiving his answer, the system fell silent for a short while, as if it was undergoing an unseen draw process.
Soon, the system's voice, with a slight metallic texture, rang out.
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained the primary mind-reading skill."
"Skill description: The primary mind-reading skill allows the host to see through the thought process of others related to the host's affairs."
Jiang Feng immediately tested it out.
"Xiao Guo, what do you like about me?"
Upon hearing Jiang Feng's question, Xiao Guo was slightly stunned, a little unsure of his intentions, fearing that her answer might displease the young master.
After careful consideration, Xiao Guo decided to answer truthfully.
"Money, of course, plus a little bit of looks and talent."
After hearing this, Jiang Feng just smiled faintly and was not angry. He had already known the power of this skill during Xiao Guo's thought process. He could now know all of her thought processes and mental activities related to him.
Jiang Feng thought to himself, "The system is really good. It started with a high-quality skill. It's only a primary skill, but it's already so powerful. How much more powerful will the higher-level skills be?" He looked forward to the next task from the system.
Just as Jiang Feng was daydreaming about the future, he heard the voice of the butler, Lao Huang, behind him.
"Young Master, Miss Lin Wange has arrived and is waiting for you in the living room."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng immediately thought of a familiar figure, a beauty with at least a 95-point appearance and figure, and an exceptionally cold and charming temperament.
She was his "fiancée," the daughter of the Lin family in Jizhou.
After graduating from university, Lin Wange chose to establish her own science and technology self-media company in the East Sea and became a cold and beautiful female CEO.
...
Thinking of this, Jiang Feng immediately got up and walked slowly towards the villa.
In the luxurious living room of the villa, Lin Wange was lying lazily on the sofa, pretending to be asleep, and was completely unaware of Jiang Feng's arrival.
"Rare guest."
As Jiang Feng's voice sounded, Lin Wange suddenly opened her eyes and sat up on the sofa. Her face returned to its usual icy demeanor. "This guy is quite handsome. If only he was more serious, it would be great."
"I have to worry about him every day."
"Unfortunately, he's a blockhead!"
The tea that Jiang Feng had just drunk spewed out of his mouth and he turned his head to look at Lin Wange beside him.
The information he had obtained through the system's mind-reading skill was a bit unexpected.
Lin Wange, on the other hand, felt a sense of being seen through when she saw Jiang Feng's gaze, "What's going on? Does he know what I'm thinking?"
As soon as this thought crossed her mind, a blush appeared on her usually cold face.
Jiang Feng thought to himself, "I really do know what you're thinking, but I won't say it. I'm just playing with you..."
The two of them looked at each other, but neither of them spoke for a while.
"Cough..."
Jiang Feng coughed lightly, breaking the awkward silence, and continued, "Miss Lin, is there anything you need from me today?"
"Hmph..."
"I heard that you haven't left your house for the past few days. I came to see if you were still alive."
Jiang Feng knew that she was saying one thing but meant another. However, he didn't expose her and continued, "Don't worry about me. I'm living a leisurely life. You're the one working hard for your company. You should take care of yourself!"
Lin Wange thought that Jiang Feng had changed and was actually showing concern for her. But then she heard the next sentence and realized that a leopard cannot change its spots.
"What if you can't give birth to a monkey?"
Lin Wange didn't want to stay any longer. Even if Jiang Feng said one more word, she felt that she might faint on the spot. She got up and left.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard Jiang Feng's voice from behind.
"I heard that you've been looking for ways to expand your company. Listen carefully, I'll give you a chance."
"After you go back, make a video about exploring the prophet's secrets."
"Remember! Be quick."
Lin Wange didn't reply, she just hesitated for a moment, then left quickly.
Looking at Lin Wange's back as she left, Jiang Feng couldn't help but chuckle. He hadn't noticed before, but she was quite interesting.
"I hope she takes my words to heart and jumps on this trend."
"And as Jiang Feng had predicted, the news from the Donghai People's Communication Network was shared by many people on their personal social circles, who in turn went back to view the prophecy posts on the Donghai People's Communication Network. This cycle triggered wave after wave of high enthusiasm.
As for Lin Wange, she did take Jiang Feng's words to heart. After returning to her villa in Nan Cheng, she immediately chose to ask her best friend Su Mengmeng, who she had met during her college days. The two of them hit it off instantly and became exceptionally close over time. However, this was not the main reason why Lin Wange asked Su Mengmeng for advice. It was because Su Mengmeng was a gold medal host for the Donghai TV Science and Education Channel. Although her cute and lively appearance and quirky personality gave her a significant advantage, Su Mengmeng was not an ordinary person. She had genuine talent and knowledge, and it was impossible for her to have garnered over ten thousand fans based solely on her looks. So if Lin Wange wanted her to advise her on something, it would be a piece of cake.
After hearing Lin Wange's question, Su Mengmeng raised an eyebrow and was somewhat puzzled as to why Lin Wange suddenly asked this. However, after thinking about it seriously, she replied with a smile, "As an educated person, I naturally do not believe in the words of fortune tellers. I only believe in science. Moreover, the fact is that many things like this are either scams or just illusions similar to magic. If you really want to explore this mysterious topic, you must be prepared to be criticized and deceived."
After hearing Su Mengmeng's words, Lin Wange felt that she should invite Jiang Feng to help her out. "This is Jiang..." However, Su Mengmeng did not give Lin Wange the opportunity to finish her sentence. She turned around and answered an important phone call. After the call, Su Mengmeng apologized and looked at Lin Wange with regret and helplessness. "I'm sorry, Wange, I have some urgent business to attend to and have to leave immediately. You can eat dinner by yourself tonight, and don't wait for me."
"What's so urgent that you can't eat before you go?" Lin Wange was not angry, but rather puzzled.
"The collapse of the Nanhu Tunnel. It was only because the city lord's daughter, Qiu Shihan, handled it in time that the accident was prevented from further expanding. The TV station notified me to immediately go to the City Hall meeting room to do a personal interview with Qiu Shihan and follow up on the accident report." Su Mengmeng explained while changing into her professional attire.
"My assistant Huang is already waiting at the door."
Without waiting for Su Mengmeng to ask, Huang handed over some collected information and began to supplement Su Mengmeng's account. "The data from the accident scene is out, and it's very serious. The entrance section of the Nanhu Tunnel, from east to west, collapsed for nearly fourteen meters in length. The Nanhu Tunnel is a major artery, and the traffic flow during rush hour is extremely high. What's worse is that the collapsed section is on the Hu Yang Avenue, which is also a major artery. This means that this accident has affected two major arteries in Donghai City! It is a major accident that hasn't occurred in thirty years!"
After listening to Huang's account, Su Mengmeng immediately realized the severity of the situation and asked about the casualties. Seeing Huang's strange expression, her heart sank. The situation was not optimistic. "Take a look for yourself. I can't say it." Huang handed over the data, and Su Mengmeng quickly found the numbers at the end of the document. "Zero casualties?" Su Mengmeng pointed to the number in the data, frowned, and asked Huang again, "Is it a mistake?"
Huang also frowned, seriously recalled the confirmation process with the on-site staff, and finally answered firmly, "Yes, zero casualties. The message from the scene said that Captain Qiu of the Transport Bureau had implemented traffic control in advance, which prevented casualties."
Su Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but she could see that Huang had something more to say. "Huang, is there anything else you want to say?"
Huang looked even more uneasy and awkward, and said, "Director Su, before I say anything, I need to make a statement. The following words are just a transcript of what I heard, and do not represent any of my subjective consciousness, so please don't think any less of me."
Su Mengmeng looked at Huang, who suddenly became serious, feeling a little helpless, but still nodded to indicate that she could continue. "Captain Qiu said that this was not her achievement, but rather the achievement of a fortune teller. She decided to close the road temporarily after seeing the fortune teller's prophecy. The fortune teller had already posted about the collapse of the Nanhu Tunnel on the internet the night before."
Huang finished speaking in one breath, without any hesitation.
"This..." Su Mengmeng, looking at Huang's serious and sincere expression, could not help but ask, "Are you sure this is true?"
She suddenly felt that her worldview was being trampled on...
