This... Qiao Sang's pupils contracted sharply. She couldn't suppress the shock surging within her. The first thought that popped into her mind was:

Was that thunderstorm and sudden darkening of the sky all just to help this guy find me?!

Could his luck really be this terrifying?!

She couldn’t be blamed for such thoughts. It was simply too coincidental and bizarre.

If this had happened to someone else, she might have dismissed it as a coincidence. But when it involved someone who could pick up money every few steps, sometimes four or five times within half a minute, and always had the advantage in randomly assigned match locations, it was hard not to make connections.

For a moment, Qiao Sang’s gaze towards Wu Chang turned peculiar. Then, another thought crossed her mind:

All supernatural phenomena are tied to extraordinary beings.

This guy... something’s off!

If picking up money was pure dumb luck and favorable match venues could be attributed to good fortune, then a thunderstorm appearing out of nowhere just to let him bump into her was downright unnatural.

Seeing Qiao Sang remain silent, Wu Chang seemed to realize something and turned red. His voice grew louder, almost defensive:

"I’m not here to hit on you!"

"What do you need me for?" Qiao Sang asked.

Hearing her response, Wu Chang's face lit up with joy. He hurriedly explained, "I’m Wu Chang, from the same group stage as you. I watched your matches earlier today. Can I ask if your Ice Qiya can heal any kind of illness?"

Oh, so you’re here to ask for a cure... Qiao Sang maintained a composed expression as she replied, "Not sure. I usually focus on studying and training, so I haven’t really used Lubao for that."

The subtext was clear: I’m inexperienced. Don’t count on me.

In truth, Lubao’s Healing Light had already reached the level of mastery, capable of curing anything short of death. But she wasn’t about to promise anything.

Moreover, she didn’t feel like helping.

Part of it was defiance.

Even the heavens helped you find me, but I still won’t do it. What can you do about it?

Another reason was curiosity. If she refused the Child of Fortune, would something else bizarre happen to force her hand?

Wu Chang, despite his extraordinary luck, still had the mindset of a regular high schooler. Completely missing the subtext, he nervously glanced around, lowered his voice, and said earnestly, "My friend doesn’t want to go to the hospital. Could you at least try? If you help, I’m willing to do anything in return."

"Why don’t they want to go to the hospital?" Qiao Sang asked.

People usually avoided hospitals either due to financial constraints or because they didn’t think their condition was serious enough.

But then Wu Chang lowered his voice even more and said, "My friend’s undocumented and can’t go to a hospital."

Qiao Sang: ...

Well, she hadn’t seen that one coming.

The two fell into an awkward silence until Qiao Sang finally asked, "If your friend’s undocumented, how would they even get into this place?"

After all, entering the Beastmaster Center’s accommodation area required either an ID card or a Beastmaster badge for scanning.

"Don’t worry about that. My friend doesn’t have a physical body." Wu Chang whispered.

Qiao Sang: ???

No physical body? What kind of nonsense is that?

But then something clicked in her mind. Her expression froze for a moment before she blurted out, "Your friend’s an extraordinary being?"

"Yes." Wu Chang nodded.

"Technically, it’s not that it doesn’t have a body, it’s just invisible."

So that’s it! No wonder this guy’s luck is off the charts!

Qiao Sang felt like she had just uncovered the truth.

If her guess was right, this Child of Fortune’s supernatural luck was entirely due to the extraordinary being at his side.

And if this extraordinary being could really enhance luck... Could she also get a piece of that action?

The thought ignited a burning curiosity in her mind, one she couldn’t shake off.

Taking a deep breath, she straightened up and said with a sense of justice:

"If your friend’s unwell, it’s better not to move around. I’ll come with you."

Wu Chang’s face lit up with excitement.

"Thank you so much!"

Hearing his gratitude, Qiao Sang couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t quite right.

Hadn’t she planned to refuse him just moments ago?

In the sky, Qiao Sang sat astride Yabao, while Wu Chang rode a Perception Bird beside her.

"My parents divorced when I was very young." Wu Chang began.

"I initially lived with my dad. But after he remarried, he sent me to live with my mom.

"My mom was dating someone at the time, so after about a week, she brought me back to my dad. They kept pushing me back and forth, and eventually, I ended up living with my grandfather.

"I was nine years old then."

"Later, during my third year of middle school, my grandfather passed away. The night of his burial, I overheard my parents arguing on the phone about who would take me.

"I missed my grandfather terribly that night. So, I walked to his grave in the middle of the night just to see him. And that’s when I met it.

"It’s kind of funny now. Around 2 a.m., I brought some apples for my grandfather. Out of nowhere, one of them floated up and got bitten. It scared me half to death.

"But over time, everything in my life started going smoothly. That year, I even awakened my Beastmaster Codex. My parents started fighting again over who I should live with, but this time, they both wanted me.

"I refused. I wanted to stay here."

"When I first awakened my Codex, I asked it if it would form a contract with me. It said no. Even after my Codex gained a second page, its answer didn’t change."

"That’s fine, though. Things are good as they are now."

"By the way, could you not tell anyone about it? It doesn’t like being the center of attention. It won’t even respond if others are around.

"Once, an uncle who’s very kind to me wanted to introduce us. But it disappeared for a long time after that, only returning much later.

"That’s also when I noticed it had been injured."
