On the third day of the apocalypse, Cen Jin awakens the ability to see the future. And on the very day he successfully awakens his power...

A bolt of lightning strikes from the sky and sends him through time and space.

He transmigrates into a modern world whose timeline and world events are almost exactly like those of his original world.

The important thing is that this modern world is still peaceful and prosperous.

Cen Jin immediately flops into a lazy sprawl. Nice.

But the next second, his landlord's call demanding rent rings in his ears like a curse.

Cen Jin feels the draft blowing through his empty pockets. Right!

Maybe he can lie around in a few days. First he needs to figure out how to earn enough to pay rent.

So Cen Jin starts doing fortune-telling livestreams on the "Daily Livestream" platform.

As soon as the stream begins, the viewers burst out laughing.

"People still do fortune-telling livestreams these days? I'm dying laughing."

"Another fraudster is out here swindling people, hahaha."

"Fight feudal superstition, starting with me."

"I'll just sit here and watch you make things up."

He tells the love-addicted woman who calls in for a reading:

Cen Jin: Your birth charts don't match. Break up.

Love-addicted woman: You're the one who doesn't match! Your whole family has incompatible birth charts! My boyfriend and I are so in love, we'd never break up, even if we died!

Cen Jin: Are you sure? He'll ruin your fortune. If you want to spend your whole life scraping by with him, I have nothing more to say.

The woman instantly calls her boyfriend and breaks up with him. Scraping by? No way!

He tells a new mother on the verge of postpartum depression's fortune.

Cen Jin: Motherwort can make your skin fairer.

New mother: Really? Drinking motherwort can make your skin fairer?

Cen Jin: Whether it's true or not, why not try drinking it for two days?

The new mother drinks a bottle of motherwort, half-believing him. Never mind how it tastes, the important thing is getting fairer.

He tells a college student who ignores traffic rules their fortune.

Cen Jin: Don't step on manhole covers anymore. You'll have bad luck, and in serious cases, you could even lose your life.

College student: How... how did you know I like stepping on manhole covers?

Cen Jin: You only have one life. Treasure it.

For the next few days, the student doesn't step on a single manhole cover, an unprecedented feat.

A few days later, the comments gradually change their tune.

"Master, you're amazing! My boyfriend really was ruining my fortune! I broke up with him and blocked him, and then I bought a scratch-off ticket on a whim, even though I'm usually the unluckiest person ever. I won second prize, fifty thousand! Aaaah, holy crap!!"

"Thank you, Master! My wife downed a whole bottle of motherwort yesterday, and today she said it really did make her skin fairer. She told me to buy a whole case so she can drink it instead of water every day."

"Thank you, Master, for saving my life! I never knew walking over manhole covers really could bring bad luck. I almost fell through and died. I'm never stepping on manhole covers again."

To sum up the livestreams, modern young people really know how to take advice.

Later, his fortune-telling livestream goes viral overnight, and viewers joke:

"Master, you've come up with a whole new style of livestreaming."
