Max Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey…?

Chapter 39: Chapter 39: The Ancestor is Addicted to Mobile Payments
 

Xia Xin was nearly ready to kneel before Jiangli.

However, Fu Shiyan couldn’t help but chuckle, “This is facial recognition payment – it just eliminates the step of entering a password, which makes things a bit more convenient.”

“What’s a password?” Jiangli grew even more curious.

Wen Zishu: “…”

Duan Jianchuan: “…”

This wasn’t just someone disconnected from the internet, this was… a caveman, wasn’t it?

Their faces twitched almost imperceptibly, but what was even weirder was that Fu Shiyan, who usually preferred to remain silent, actually started to answer Jiangli’s endless stream of questions.

“A password is a way to encrypt something. Nowadays, you can set a password for many things that only you know, so other people can’t mess with your belongings,” said Fu Shiyan.

Jiangli leaned in closer, “This thing, it’s like the seal you’d use when exchanging bank’s silver notes, right? One for each person, so there are no mix-ups?”

Fu Shiyan nodded, “You could understand it that way.”

Wen Zishu: “…”

He couldn’t make heads or tails of it. What kind of analogy was that?

Was this master possibly from ancient times?

“So facial recognition payment means that your face becomes the seal, erasing the need to take out the seal separately?” Jiangli asked again.

Wen Zishu: “…”

Fu Shiyan said with a light smile, “You could understand it that way.”

“Oh…”

Jiangli’s expression was one of sudden enlightenment.

Wen Zishu was puzzled. Wasn’t this common knowledge? Why the expression as if he’d just unraveled some earth-shattering secret?

And why was his third brother going along with this master’s nonsense?

“Abbot, I’ll explain these things to you later. You, you should read their fortunes first,” Xia Xin saw them getting further off-topic, immediately grabbed Jiangli, and hurriedly signaled to her with his eyes.

It was then Jiangli remembered the task at hand and sat back down, looking at Wen Zishu, “Right, let’s start with your date and time of birth.”

“Date and time of birth?” Now it was Wen Zishu’s turn to be stunned.

Fu Shiyan reminded, “Your birthday.”

Xia Xin added, “Yes, down to the exact hour.”

Wen Zishu had an epiphany.

Jiangli handed him a piece of paper and had him write it down.

Wen Zishu, holding a brush, suddenly couldn’t write. It took him a long time to produce a few awkwardly shaped digits.

Jiangli took a look and frowned, “Your handwriting… it’s barely better than a dog’s scribble. Didn’t your teacher ever scold you when you practiced writing?”

Wen Zishu: “…”

“Abbot…” Xia Xin quickly whispered an explanation to Jiangli, “These days, nobody practices brush calligraphy anymore. We’ve all switched to ballpoint pens, so many people can’t write with brushes. Also, we refer to educators as teachers now, not ‘masters’. ”

Jiangli furrowed her brow, thinking that these people were really troublesome.

She muttered to herself but proceeded to examine Wen Zishu’s birth chart.

Wen Zishu had a typical ‘Peach Blossom’ destiny, with an abundance of romantic encounters, but his true love would appear relatively late.

That also meant that earlier romantic interests might turn into ‘Peach Blossom Evils.’

This time, it was obvious he had been trapped by a ‘Peach Blossom Evil.’

However, his destiny was really not bad. Although not as good as Fu Shiyan’s, it still indicated wealth; he clearly was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

At least he would not have to worry about money in his lifetime.

However, with so many ‘Peach Blossom Evils’, he’d constantly face minor setbacks and mishaps.

As Jiangli saw it, she relayed this to Wen Zishu and the others.

“So the master is saying that I will encounter more of these issues?” Wen Zishu’s face twitched.

Jiangli replied, “Pretty much. You have too many women in your destiny. Unless you stay virtuous and change your ways, staying away from those illusory romantic encounters, only then can you avoid ‘Peach Blossom Evils’. But the ‘Peach Blossom Evils’ in your life will at most cause emotional or financial harm — they won’t have a significant impact on you personally.”
