Although He Wendong was a little puzzled, he had no objections after Ding Yun agreed that it would not affect the reproduction of endangered species in the wild.
He even helped Ding Yun get a health inspection certificate.
This would facilitate her visits to various farms to bestow blessings.
As for why Ding Yun didn't stay home and bless her targets mentally, but chose to bless them face-to-face, it was mainly because after a period of blessing, Ding Yun had figured out the limitations of her ability.
When blessing one-on-one, the effect was quite good even over a thousand miles away, generally succeeding in one attempt, and fixing physical ailments in three to five tries.
However, when performing group blessings.
There were too many targets. The effect might not even be good in person, let alone from thousands of miles away.
Moreover, blessings required specificity. In one-on-one blessings, Ding Yun at least knew who the target was, their name, even their appearance, and their ID number.
It was easy to find the corresponding target for the blessing.
It wouldn't go astray.
But what about chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, and pigs? Could Ding Yun know each of their names, or what each of them looked like? And Ding Yun's blessings couldn't be targeted at farms; farms themselves couldn't be blessed. So, she had to bless them face-to-face.
Ensuring the reproduction of endangered species in the wild.
It was actually a similar principle.
And these breeding bases and farms were not easily accessible, which was why Ding Yun needed He Wendong's help to obtain some identification or work permits for easy access.
With the health inspection work permit, Ding Yun soon began traveling all over the country. In her spare time, she would use her luck to buy stocks and invest in funds. After all, her luck was strong now, and there was basically no possibility of losing money. Even if she lost once in a while, it would only be a small loss.
But the profits would be enormous.
After Ding Yun spent two years visiting all the major farms and breeding bases for endangered and critically endangered species across the country, her assets had exceeded ten billion, and her luck had reached a terrifying level, to the point where it could influence the weather.
For example, if it suddenly rained heavily one day, and Ding Yun disliked it, thinking in her heart, "Why is it raining so heavily? A sunny day would be better," a strong wind would immediately blow, dispersing the rain clouds, and the rain would stop, followed by clear skies.
One day, she felt a place was too hot.
A breeze would immediately spring up, lowering the temperature.
Even one day, when Ding Yun saw a news report about a human trafficker being caught and sentenced to less than ten years in prison, she muttered under her breath, "He deserves to be struck by lightning." Less than two minutes later, that trafficker was struck dead by lightning.
The relevant news was reported within ten minutes.
What is "when the times are favorable, even the heavens conspire"?
This is it!
With such luck, she would probably be a "Son of Destiny" like Liu Xiu if she traveled to ancient times, capable of summoning meteorites.
However, Ding Yun wasn't entirely pleased with this situation. She even suspected whether her current state was due to her luck being too strong.
Or had her ability leveled up after being used so many times?
From initially only being able to bless others with "myriad sons and myriad grandsons," it had evolved into a more advanced form of spoken word magic, with greater influence.
Of course, neither reason mattered much.
What was most important was that Ding Yun couldn't control herself from using her ability. Spoken words becoming reality sounded cool and powerful, but one couldn't guarantee that every word they spoke would come true; sometimes, they were just casual remarks.
For instance, calling every male fitness vlogger "husband" or "wife," could she really marry each of them?
And if everything she said could come true.
It would also be easy to harm those close to her.
After all, arguments, jokes, or slip-ups between relatives were quite common.
Upon realizing this, Ding Yun quickly convinced herself, and stayed away for another two consecutive years. When communicating with her family by phone, she mostly spoke calmly, avoiding anything ambiguous.
This was to ensure that no accidents occurred.
But this year was different. This year, her mother, Huang Haijuan, issued an ultimatum, demanding that Ding Yun return. She even threatened to rush to Ding Yun's workplace overnight and hang herself at their entrance.
With such words, what could Ding Yun do?
She could only agree quickly.
She promised she would definitely go back this year.
Although she felt her mother was unlikely to actually hang herself at their workplace, she might very well rush over and cause a scene at her workplace.
To prevent her excuse of being busy with work from being exposed after not returning home for three consecutive years, Ding Yun could only hastily agree to return home for the New Year and make a promise.
Then, she began to worry about her own problem.
She was torn between trying to solve the issue of being unable to control her luck or ability a month before the New Year, or going back and pretending to be mute, speaking as little as possible, and avoiding thinking about her relatives and friends.
After much deliberation.
Ding Yun felt that returning home at her advanced age of over thirty and being unmarried made it difficult to avoid being pressured by relatives and friends to get married. And if relatives and friends pressured her to marry, it would be hard for her not to complain about them in her heart. Therefore, she had to choose to find a way to solve the problem of being unable to control her luck or ability.
Thus, she took a long leave of absence.
She specifically went to test whether her current situation was an advancement of her ability or if her luck was simply too high.
If it was an ability advancement, she would need to find a way to control her ability. If her luck was too high, she would need to find a way to consume some luck to address the root cause.
The experimental method was not too difficult.
It was simply a hypothesis that her luck was indeed too high.
Then, she would test it by consuming luck on a large scale.
Ding Yun had previously been unable to determine her situation through this method because she had not stopped blessing those farms. Although her luck was consumed, it was also continuously accumulating, making it difficult to measure and determine with unstable values.
Now that she had stopped large-scale blessings, and only occasionally took on small jobs to bless infertile couples, the luck gained from blessing a few individuals should be limited and harmless.
This would make the experiment easier to yield results.
As for how Ding Yun would consume her luck?
There were many ways.
Such as deliberately trying to court death, or intentionally buying assets that were certain to lose money. However, these methods consumed very little luck.
Ding Yun had a more efficient method.
That was to directly go to disaster-stricken areas.
For example, if a place had been drought-stricken for half a year, she would go there and wish for rain, rain, rain. If a place experienced a severe snowstorm, she would go there and wish for the snow to stop and for clear skies. Such actions of forcibly influencing large areas would definitely consume luck.
After Ding Yun had visited all the disaster-stricken areas in the country during this period, she had basically confirmed that her current situation was not caused by an ability advancement, but by excessively high luck.
Because the more disaster areas she visited.
The further along, the smaller the range she could influence in her mind after wishing for the disaster to be resolved.
Eventually, it could only cover an area of two to three miles.
This undoubtedly represented a reduction in the scope of influence.
If it were an ability advancement, the range would only decrease when the ability was about to disappear. And as the body recovered, and the ability was restored, the range should return to its original state, or even further, continuing to improve.
But this was clearly not the case now, so it could be easily concluded that the core issue was the level of luck.
As long as she continued to consume luck.
Until she could no longer manifest spoken words, she could return home for the New Year with peace of mind and nod along while complaining about her relatives in her heart.
For the safety of her relatives and friends, Ding Yun had sacrificed too much, having resolved seven or eight major disaster areas to allow everyone to have a peaceful year.
After that, she didn't let go of minor disasters, small calamities, or accidents, and only then did she manage to reduce her luck to a controllable range, so as not to cause too much influence.
And then, she tidied up and went home for the New Year.
