Fang Zonghai spoke casually, while Fu Ruhai looked concerned.
"Does your head hurt? Did something hit you?"
Liu Sandao remained silent for a long time, then opened his mouth to ask a seemingly irrelevant question.
"It doesn't hurt, nothing hit me! It's just, I was riding a bit too fast and couldn't brake!" Fang Zonghai replied.
Upon hearing this, Liu Sandao stopped talking.
This was a bit different from what he had imagined.
Whose merit should this good fortune be attributed to?
Logically, it should belong to whoever benefited the most. However, the girl benefited the most, yet the merit didn't go to her.
Could it be Fang Zonghai's? But he could have avoided the accident; he was the real victim.
Of course, in the eyes of mortals, this was all normal. He rode too fast and couldn't make the turn, right?
Fu Ruhai, hearing Liu Sandao's words, knew his doubts but understood that some things weren't meant to be told but to be realized.
Understanding one concept would lead to understanding all others. Once he grasped this point, he would naturally understand all future situations.
The traffic police quickly handled the accident. As they were all part of Qingkong University, both parties quickly reached a settlement amicably.
It was late when they returned to the dormitory.
The dormitory doors for the fourth-year students were not locked, unlike for the first and second years.
Fang Zonghai, Fu Ruhai, and Liu Sandao returned to the dormitory together. Fang Zonghai was overjoyed to learn that the other two were also staying in the dormitory.
With graduation approaching, the members of Dorm 304 were finally gathered, a rare occasion.
It was a pity that they would soon go their separate ways.
If Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai hadn't returned to the dormitory to stay this time, their memories of university dorm life might have remained blank.
Whenever other dormitories were lively, Dorm 304 was always quiet.
Whenever other dormitories had female visitors, Dorm 304 was always the one to be looked down upon.
In Qingkong University, Dorm 304 of the fourth-year economics department was a mystery.
Two were inseparable, and two were in an on-again, off-again relationship.
Liu Sandao wasn't concerned with these matters. The first thing he needed to figure out was the matter of the good fortune.
Why wasn't it directly given to the beneficiary, but channeled through someone else?
Once the dormitory lights were turned off, Liu Sandao cast a spell to summon Fu Ruhai.
Chatting on the rooftop of Building 1 at Qingkong University would undoubtedly be a pleasant experience for mortals.
However, due to suicide incidents in many schools, the rooftop of Building 1 at Qingkong University was sealed off.
For Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai, these were not issues.
"You want to ask why the good fortune wasn't directly given to that girl?"
Liu Sandao nodded slightly.
Fu Ruhai did not answer directly but took out the Handbook of Fortune.
The page displayed Fang Zonghai:
A Five-Star Person.
The number of stars behind each person was the same, ten in total.
However, one-fifth of Fang Zonghai's sixth star was displayed in a state of good fortune, while the rest was blank.
Fu Ruhai pointed to that one-fifth star and said, "Look at this, what is it?"
Liu Sandao immediately understood his meaning:
Fang Zonghai was a Five-Star Person, so he could perform good deeds to reach Six Stars. Whether he could reach it depended on his destiny.
As for what he received, he might lose it in the near future.
But the lost fortune would eventually offset some of his calamities.
Therefore, seemingly the girl's good fortune, if used on Fang Zonghai, could achieve a twofold purpose.
So, this good fortune could be used in such a way.
No wonder Fu Ruhai chose to hide his identity in the economics department; there seemed to be great significance in it.
People in economics would surely understand cost-effectiveness.
It was likely that Fu Ruhai had absorbed some knowledge from lectures over the past three years.
This was the mortal realm, different from the thinking of the immortal realm, yet it had been passed down for thousands of years.
"Why do we always find people involved in traffic accidents?"
Liu Sandao couldn't help but ask.
Logically, a person's fortune wasn't only encountered during traffic accidents; there were other times when they faced danger. Why only traffic accidents?
Fu Ruhai smiled, gently patted Liu Sandao's shoulder, and pointed towards the bottom of the rooftop, saying:
"Although it's already late at night, it's still brightly lit.
In some places, you can even see bustling crowds. On the roads, you can see the most various "For Hire" cars speeding back and forth.
There are also many electric bikes, carrying "X named takeout," rushing around.
This is the mortal world today. It's no longer the bustling traffic of the past, but a true 'flood of vehicles'! Only this way can you learn most directly how to dispense good fortune.
In fact, because there are so many traffic accidents, the scenarios requiring good fortune have also increased.
It perfectly embodies the saying: 'Life and death are fated; great fortune is determined by great destiny!'"
So that was it.
Liu Sandao would need some time to understand the matters of the mortal world; of course, he would also need to try dispensing good fortune himself to learn how.
The reason Liu Sandao asked this was that out of the five incidents Fu Ruhai had handled since descending to the mortal realm, four were traffic accidents.
And each time, he had been asked to accompany him.
Occasionally, when he drifted off, he would leave alone for a while, and it was unknown where he went.
...
In the following days, there were some small fortunes to dispense every day, and the frequency seemed to increase.
Liu Sandao had no choice but to follow Fu Ruhai's example, being in class while his true form was at the scene of the incident.
In fact, they were all minor bumps and scrapes, so minor that Liu Sandao felt following him was meaningless.
"You're so busy, why do you still hide your identity in the university? Isn't that gilding the lily?"
"Oh, you even know 'gilding the lily.' It seems your time in university wasn't wasted!"
Fu Ruhai teased.
He himself didn't want to juggle so many identities; it was nothing but trouble.
But one thing had to be admitted: how could one quell the grievances of mortals without understanding their suffering?
Only by experiencing it firsthand and treating oneself as a mortal could good fortune be delivered promptly after an incident occurred.
If good fortune were dispensed solely based on one's own will, then the resentment in the world could not be dispelled in a timely manner. Over the years, it could accumulate and lead to a great calamity in the human world.
Liu Sandao asked no further questions, and Fu Ruhai simply said, "You'll understand later!"
The two flew through the air, heading next to a village.
In less than a moment, they arrived above the village.
At this moment, a woman in her sixties was carrying a basket of vegetables, walking from the fields towards the village.
It looked like she had just picked vegetables from the field and was returning home.
The tomatoes in the basket looked bright red, with a bit of soil on one or two of them.
The rural dirt road was only a little over a meter wide, with a small river flowing beneath it.
The water in the small river was clear and only about ankle-deep.
Fu Ruhai took out a booklet from his embrace and handed it to Liu Sandao.
Liu Sandao took it and looked:
On the bright red cover, the words "Handbook of Fortune" were written in yellow.
He flipped open the first page of the Handbook of Fortune: Fortune passed down for a thousand years, virtue benefiting all generations.
Beside it was a brush-like graphic. Liu Sandao touched it with his hand.
A brush suddenly appeared in his hand.
