Chapter 124: Yun Yao’s Echo

The four of them formed a temporary team and began heading out into the city.

This team indeed looked somewhat peculiar.

Yun Yao and Tiantian—two people who had nothing to do with each other—had actually formed a team together.

“Miss, what did you do before coming here?” Yun Yao asked casually.

“I, I was…” Seeing Yun Yao’s glamorous and radiant appearance, Tiantian was momentarily at a loss for words. Her face was full of inferiority, and she couldn’t even speak.

“She’s unemployed and staying at home.” Qiao Jiajin suddenly spoke up at this moment. “Didn’t you see she’s wearing so little? Those are pajamas.”

“Oh? So that’s it.” Yun Yao nodded. “Let me introduce myself. My name is Yun Yao, and I’m the lead singer of an idol group. Miss, you’re also very beautiful. If you don’t have a job, would you consider becoming an idol?”

“I…dol?” Tiantian clearly hadn’t heard this term before.

“You don’t follow celebrities?” Yun Yao patiently explained. “Idol is a transliteration of ‘idol’ in English. It means an entertainment idol.”

“I’m already this age…” Tiantian smiled bitterly. “And I’m not worthy of being an idol.”

“Not worthy? Miss, you look very sad.” Yun Yao suddenly became serious and stared at Tiantian, asking, “Has anyone bullied you before?”

“I…”

Qiao Jiajin patted Yun Yao at this moment and said, “Beautiful lady, you seem to really like chatting. How about the two of us chat instead? Don’t harass her.”

“Oh?” Yun Yao’s attention was drawn to Qiao Jiajin. “So what do you do?”

“I’ll be damned…” Qiao Jiajin smiled awkwardly. “Now that you ask, it seems I don’t have a proper job either.”

“What’s going on?” Yun Yao looked at the two people before her with confusion. “Was your interview room an ‘unemployment special’?”

After saying this, she seemed to remember something and looked at Qi Xia. “Qi Xia, what about you? You’re so smart, you should have a good job, right?”

Three questions had stumped three people.

“Why don’t you change the topic?” Qi Xia said.

He finally understood why Little Glasses and Jin Yuanxun couldn’t handle this woman. With this chatting style, probably only Qiao Jiajin could hold his own against her.

“Change the topic…?” Yun Yao thought for a moment and asked again, “What are you all good at?”

“I’m not particularly good at anything.” Qi Xia said. “I’ve just read a bit more than others.”

“I can see that.” Yun Yao nodded with an adoring expression. “I like learned men.”

“I’m not good at anything either.” Qiao Jiajin shrugged. “I only know how to fight.”

“Fight?” Yun Yao was startled. “That’s the first time I’ve heard of this ‘special skill.'”

“Uh…” Qiao Jiajin didn’t know how to respond and could only laugh dryly twice. “So what are you good at?”

“Me…?” Yun Yao suddenly stopped walking and turned to say to the three of them, “My luck is very good.”

Very good luck?

Qi Xia and Qiao Jiajin looked at each other.

“Your special skill sounds even less reliable than fighting.” Qi Xia said. “Are you planning to use your luck to lead us to win games?”

“Why not?” Yun Yao smiled. “I’ve had especially good luck since I was young, so this is my special skill.”

“There’s still a difference between blind confidence and a special skill.” Qi Xia said. “‘Luck’ is an uncontrollable thing no matter how you look at it. Could you possibly…”

As he said this, Qi Xia paused slightly.

He turned his head to look at Yun Yao, his eyes flashing with a trace of disbelief.

“That’s right, it’s exactly what you’re thinking.” Yun Yao smiled and nodded. “You really are smart. Its name is ‘Strong Luck.'”

Qi Xia would rather not have guessed correctly.

Yun Yao’s “echo” was actually “Strong Luck”?

If that were the case… wouldn’t nothing in the world be able to stump her?

“I’ll be damned… what are you guys even talking about?” Qiao Jiajin was obviously completely confused. “What is ‘Strong Luck’? Whose name is ‘Strong Luck’?”

Qi Xia didn’t answer. He just felt more and more frightened the more he thought about it.

Compared to these people, he had been far too reckless.

These “Resonators” with superpowers carefully formed groups to participate in games, yet he had been betting his life against “Zodiacs” with just the power of an ordinary person.

“So you can win every battle?” Qi Xia asked.

“Win every battle?” Yun Yao looked at Qi Xia with confusion. “Oh, I almost forgot—you still don’t understand ‘echoes,’ so you probably don’t know… winning every battle is absolutely impossible.”

“Impossible?” Qi Xia clearly didn’t understand. He asked in a low voice, “If your superpower is ‘Strong Luck,’ how could you possibly lose? Even if you’re facing a black bear, the black bear might suddenly die of illness, right?”

After hearing this, Yun Yao pondered briefly and answered with a serious expression, “Qi Xia, who told you that ‘echoes’ are ‘superpowers’?”

“Aren’t they?” Qi Xia said. “The things ‘Resonators’ do and the power they display are things ordinary people don’t possess. Doesn’t that count as a superpower?”

After hearing this, Yun Yao nodded slightly and said, “No wonder you think this way… But the actual situation is a bit different. Qi Xia, an ‘echo’ is not a type of ‘superpower,’ but a type of ‘belief.'”

“Belief?”

This term was much more abstract than “superpower.”

Qi Xia suddenly remembered Jiang Ruoxue’s previous explanation. She had also said “echoes are quite abstract things.”

“It’s hard for me to explain this feeling.” Yun Yao held out her hand to look at it and said, “In any case, my ‘echo’ doesn’t guarantee one hundred percent success. In fact… the probability of failure is not low.”

“This…” Qi Xia blinked. “In other words, you might activate ‘Strong Luck,’ but you also might fail?”

“Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.” Yun Yao nodded happily when she saw that Qi Xia understood this principle.

Seeing Yun Yao’s happy expression, Qi Xia couldn’t smile at all.

He thought Yun Yao was crazy.

What kind of bullshit “echo” was this?

Sometimes it could be “Strong Luck,” and sometimes it couldn’t.

By this logic, wasn’t he himself intermittently “Strong Luck”?

But Yun Yao had definitely retained her memory. She was indeed a “Resonator.”

It was hard to imagine she could survive so boldly until now with such a mediocre ability.

Qi Xia stopped thinking about this bizarre “echo” and instead asked Yun Yao, “What game are we participating in?”

“Whatever.” Yun Yao smiled. “I feel our team is very strong. We can take on anyone we encounter.”

“Sure.” Qiao Jiajin also nodded. “Liar, last time I was tied up and couldn’t show my skills. This time I’ll show you what I can do.”

Tiantian also spoke up at this moment. “If there’s any particularly dangerous project, I’d like to try it first.”

Qi Xia slowly covered his forehead. He felt this team was full of problems everywhere.
