Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student

Chapter 384 258: Old Shen the Fortune Teller Goes Online!

Ding!

Congratulations, host, you have obtained the title [Medical Master]!

Ding!

Congratulations, host, you have obtained the title [Master of Metaphysics]!

When Medicine and Metaphysics Attribute Points both reached 10, the system notification suddenly rang out.

Uh...

You become a Master at 10 points?

"Xiaohuang, Xiaohuang, can you explain what's going on?"

Shen Qiushan summoned the system assistant.

"Hello, host."

"For every 10 points in a High Tier Attribute, you will get a title!"

Assistant Xiaohuang explained.

You get a title every 10 points?

Looks like burning through all those Scholar Index Points was worth it!

Shen Qiushan remembered his Martial Arts was at 9 points, so he quickly opened the system page to check—and sure enough, that was the case.

He immediately spent another 100,000 Scholar Index Points to raise his Martial Arts to 10!

Sure enough, the system notification sounded again.

Ding!

Congratulations, host, you have obtained the title [Martial Arts Master]!

Nice!

Shen Qiushan was overjoyed—he just got three titles in the blink of an eye.

And even with only 10 points, that's already Master level. He couldn't imagine how insane things would be once he maxed out those Attributes.

Life with cheats really does hit different.

Leaving the competition venue.

Shen Qiushan headed for the hospital. After cashing in on the competition, he was getting ready to head back to Sanjiang, but before leaving, he thought he'd swing by the hospital and say goodbye to Luo Zhengyi and Liu Weimin, the two old gentlemen.

He found his way to the ward like it was his second home, but today there were more people than usual—both granddaughters, Lou Man and Liu Huanhuan, were there, plus a dark-skinned young man.

"Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao appears!"

Seeing Shen Qiushan walk in, Liu Weimin immediately grinned and waved, "Xiaoshen, just a second ago Huanhuan was complimenting you!"

"Really now!"

"What was she saying about me?"

Shen Qiushan looked curiously at Liu Huanhuan. After their encounter in the ward a couple of days ago, they did add each other on WeChat, but hadn't talked since.

"Teacher Shen, remember that day you read a character for me?"

"Yeah, of course I remember."

Shen Qiushan nodded slightly.

"I didn't really believe it at the time, but we actually caught the suspect up in the mountains!"

"He confessed to the crimes right away. We've been busy the past couple of days with on-site identifications—just sent all the evidence in this morning!"

"If you hadn't told me the person was hiding in the mountain, I don't think we'd have caught him!"

Liu Huanhuan excitedly recounted the last few days' events.

"What a coincidence!"

"I really was just making a random guess."

Shen Qiushan humbly waved his hand and added, "Officer Liu, solving cases still relies on science—metaphysics really is just a backup when everything else fails."

"Teacher Shen, I'm already at my wits' end!"

"Help me, please!"

Just then, the dark-skinned man suddenly leaned forward, showing off his big protruding teeth. He introduced himself, "Teacher Shen, my name is Bao Yaming, I'm part of Captain Liu's team. I'm already 28 and I've never even had a girlfriend! When do you think I'll finally get one?"

Bao Yaming, nickname "Bao Ya" (Bucktooth), was one of the officers who went with Liu Huanhuan to catch suspects at Xima Ancient Town.

On the way back to Beijing from Xima Ancient Town, Liu Huanhuan told everyone why she had to head up into the mountains. Bao Yaming had said right then and there he hoped she could introduce him to Shen Qiushan, so he could consult the "Master" about his love life.

Now that he'd actually run into him here, he didn't waste a second in asking.

Shen Qiushan looked at the Bao Yaming, who claimed to be at his wit's end, and grinned, "Give me your date and time of birth."

At the moment, Shen Qiushan had just received the "Master of Metaphysics" title and was quite eager to give it a try.

"Yes, yes, I'll write it down."

Bao Yaming nodded repeatedly, then found pen and paper and wrote down his birth details.

"Xiaoshen, can you really tell fortunes?"

Luo Zhengyi asked curiously.

"I've been interested in Zhou Yi since I was a kid, picked up a few basics."

Shen Qiushan lied without missing a beat.

"Then take a look at Manman's too."

"Her birthdate is... I'll write it down as well..."

Luo Zhengyi was, of course, very concerned about his granddaughter's marriage prospects, so he immediately wrote Lou Man's birth details on a sheet of paper.

"Grandpa, is that really necessary?"

Lou Man was a bit resistant to all this fortune-telling stuff, especially when it came to romantic fate.

"Xiaoshen, do Huanhuan's too while you're at it."

Liu Weimin joined in the fun and wrote down Liu Huanhuan's birth details too.

"Whoa!"

"If you guys go on like this, I'm going to have to start charging!"

Shen Qiushan joked with a grin.

And at that moment, Bao Yaming handed the paper with his birthdate written on it to Shen Qiushan, "Teacher Shen, charge whatever you want—I'm your first customer."

"Haha, with you being this sincere, I'll do it for free!"

Shen Qiushan laughed, took the birth details from Bao Yaming, and looked them over seriously. With 6 points in Metaphysics, he'd learned character reading, face reading, and palmistry.

Now that his Metaphysics attribute had hit 10 and he'd earned the "Master of Metaphysics" title, he'd also mastered the art of analyzing birth charts and Six Lines Divination.

Shen Qiushan took a pen and began scribbling and circling on Bao Yaming's birth details for a few minutes before finally stopping.

"Well, what do you think?"

Bao Yaming couldn't wait to ask.

"You should actively participate in blind dates before the end of the year—there's a good chance you'll see results."

Shen Qiushan offered his suggestion.

"So you're saying my future girlfriend is someone I'll meet on a blind date?"

Bao Yaming pressed on.

"Very likely!"

Shen Qiushan nodded, but quickly added, "But you know, I'm just making an educated guess."

"Actually, my second aunt did say yesterday she wanted to set me up on a blind date, but I thought it'd be pointless so I didn't agree..."

Bao Yaming mumbled softly.

"Teacher Shen, what about me?"

Seeing Shen Qiushan actually give out predictions, Liu Huanhuan got interested, too. Sure, she focused more on her career, but she was still young—it's not like her personal life never crossed her mind.

"One sec, let me check Miss Luo's first."

At this point, Luo Zhengyi had already handed over Lou Man's birth info to Shen Qiushan.

Lou Man pursed her lips in a show of indifference, but she was actually sneaking glances at Shen Qiushan's face with the corner of her eye, watching his reactions.

And she really did notice something—what she saw on Shen Qiushan's face was... "shock."

Lou Man subconsciously frowned, unable to help but wonder: What does that expression mean? It's just a fortune reading—is it really that shocking??

"Xiaoshen, so? When will Manman's love life be settled?"

Seeing Shen Qiushan lost for words, Luo Zhengyi pressed him again.

"Uh, Miss Luo's birth chart... I'm having a hard time reading it."

Shen Qiushan gently shook his head.

"How can you not read it?"

Luo Zhengyi was a bit skeptical, not quite buying Shen Qiushan's answer.

"Elder Luo, what can I say, my skills are limited, not being able to read it is pretty normal."

Shen Qiushan shrugged with feigned helplessness.

"Then do Huanhuan's."

Liu Weimin took this chance to hand over his granddaughter Liu Huanhuan's birth details.
