[Good grief, this is online gambling.]

[The whole family fell for the scam, and in different ways at that.  Anyone who didn’t know better would think you were collecting stamps for a reward. (dog emoji)]

[Hahaha, that’s so mean!]

[Online gambling initially offers many wins to lower your guard. Once you’re hooked, your wins and losses depend entirely on whether the administrators manipulate the data in the background. Don’t ask me how I know; value your life, stay away from online gambling.]

[Is anyone really stupid enough to do this?]

[I know someone like that, and he’s even wealthy. Because of online gambling, he sold his family’s factory, house, and car. He works a little bit to earn money, then goes back to gambling, trying to win back what he lost. I watched helplessly as his family went from being well-off to a complete mess; it’s truly heartbreaking. If this father doesn’t change his ways, he’ll probably end up like that too.]

[The sunk costs are too high; people are caught up in the adrenaline rush, hoping to gamble and change their fate—a classic gambler’s mentality.]

[Hehehe, if it were me, I’d make my first fortune and then disappear instantly, taking advantage of online gambling platforms. Wouldn’t that be considered an alternative way to deal with scammers?]

[It’s hard for people to resist greed. Besides, online gambling platforms make huge profits from suckers; you might win a little, but ultimately they never lose.]

The mother of the destined person initially felt that the problem was still within acceptable limits, but when the viewers in the livestream room made it sound so serious, a sense of crisis suddenly welled up in her heart.

She turned to her husband and said, “Can you please stop gambling?”

The husband hesitated for a moment: “… Should I stop gambling?”

“You’re still hesitating! If you gamble again, we’re getting a divorce. You can forget about living like this. I’ll take both kids with me and leave you with none.”

Upon hearing this, the husband panicked and immediately said, “I won’t gamble anymore, I absolutely won’t gamble anymore. I’ve already deleted the app, and I won’t download it again.”

An Rugu did some quick calculations and concluded that online gambling was like drug addiction. It seemed that this person was not fully addicted yet, so it was still not too late to change. But after a while, who knew?

After receiving an affirmative answer, the mother breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at An Rugu on the screen, and asked with anticipation, “Host, do you think we can get this money back?”

The whole family was scammed out of more than 300,000 yuan, which was no small amount.

An Rugu did some calculations with her fingers. As she gained more and more wish power, thus directly increasing her cultivation, she could now calculate fate in greater detail.

After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes and nodded. “Okay, you can go to the police station to file a case first. I will send the information to the police, and you can wait for news.”

The family was overjoyed and thanked her profusely.

“Thank you, thank you, you are a benefactor to our family.”

“I’ll definitely give you a tip when I get the money.”

“Finally, I don’t have to live a frugal life anymore, sob sob sob.”

An Rugu sent the information to the police to help them solve the case.

After hanging up the phone, the livestream chat was flooded with comments.

[These days, life is tough for everyone, and it’s tough for scammers too. New scams are constantly emerging, so we must be vigilant. Have you downloaded the anti-fraud app today?]

[To avoid becoming a victim like this family, I downloaded the app with tears in my eyes. I never expected to learn about fraud prevention while watching a livestream.]

[Haha, isn’t this better than a legal education drama?]

…………

An Rugu contacted the third person with whom she had a destined connection, Snake Mother, and after communicating with her, she made a phone call.

A young woman in her twenties appeared on the screen.

She had a ponytail, fair skin, and was very attractive.

She greeted with a smile, “Hello, host, I’d like to have my fortune told by you.”

[Welcome to the third unlucky person—no, the one with a special destined connection!]

[Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome!]

“Okay, please pay the divination fee, a high-powered gun salute.”

Snake Mother readily paid the divination fee, but as if remembering something, her smile faded, and she sighed, “Host, besides people, can you also divine fortune for animals?”

An Rugu remained calm and composed, “Tell me what you want to calculate first.”

Her gaze fell on her username, and she already knew the answer in her heart.

Sure enough, the the destined person picked up their phone and pointed it at the glass container next to them, which contained a small green snake.

The small green snake was slender, its scales shimmering with tiny sparkles.

It flicked its tongue, its head resting on a small bowl of water, as if trying to drink.

Her little face was puffed up, and she looked extremely cute.

[This snake is so cute! It has such a chubby face, I really want to pet it.]

[Snake-phobic Alien: This is so strange. I’ll take another look. It’s still so strange.]

Countless viewers envied the destined person, and those who especially liked snakes were extremely envious.

However, the destined person was not happy, with a hint of trouble on her face, “Little Green is usually very well-behaved and doesn’t make a sound at all, but lately it keeps pushing against the lid, trying to get out of the house. When I play with it, it always wraps itself around my arm.”

“I’ve been with Little Green for five or six years, and I raised her from a young age. Sometimes I feel we have a kind of telepathic connection.

“I could sense it was very agitated, as if it wanted to tell me something but couldn’t.

“Host, do you know what it’s trying to tell me?”

The audience: “???”

[Wow, here’s another new business for the streamer!]

[Do animals have facial features and fortune telling? The host and Little Green stare at each other wide-eyed.]

[Host: I think you’re making things difficult for me.]
