Free Web NovelChapter 57: The Insight Upgrade And Picking A Medium
The luxury sedan glided smoothly out of the hidden medical facility’s underground garage, the hum of the engine barely audible in the back seat.
Outside, the morning sun was finally piercing through the urban haze, casting long shadows across the pavement.
Behind the wheel, Samuel navigated the merging lanes with the precision of a seasoned professional, his gaze flicking effortlessly between the road and the rearview mirror.
April leaned back against the leather seat, listening to the quiet tick-tick of the turn signal. Her mind was entirely at ease.
She had delivered the warning, laid out the exact ways to bypass Harvey’s dual traps, and left the Greels men to orchestrate their counter-coup.
With the legendary Robert Greels fully revitalized and a massive five-hundred-million-dollar payday waiting for her on the other side of the boardroom battle, she had done more than enough.
Now, it was up to them to take over the battlefield.
"Samuel," April called out, her voice breaking the quiet interior of the car.
"Yes, Miss April?" Samuel replied instantly, his tone perfectly balanced between attentiveness and military-grade stoicism.
"Have you had breakfast yet?"
Samuel’s eyes flicked to the mirror for half a second before returning to the road. He gave a slight, honest shake of his head. "No, Miss April. I have not."
"Good. Then let’s go have breakfast together," she said, tapping her fingers against her armrest with a light, satisfied rhythm. "My treat. Find us somewhere nice and fast. We still have a massive furniture shopping spree to get through today."
"Understood, Miss April. I know an excellent spot just five minutes from the design district." Samuel smoothly turned the steering wheel, shifting the sedan into the fast lane.
As the car accelerated, a familiar, crystal-clear chime vibrated directly inside April’s mind.
The blue neon system interface flickered to life before her eyes, its text expanding across her field of vision, and forcing her to blink in surprise.
[System Announcement: Milestone Achieved!] fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
[The Host has successfully utilized ’Insight’ a total of 10 times.]
[System Criterion Met — Insight Skill Upgrade Initialized...] [Processing... 100%]
[Congratulations! ’Eye of Destiny: Insight’ has successfully leveled up to Rank 2.]
New Sub-Perks Unlocked:
Daily Limit Increased: The Host’s maximum daily uses for Insight have been permanently upgraded from 3 uses per day to 5 uses per day.
Refreshed Capacity: Current daily count has been reset to match the new baseline.
[Number of insights remaining left today: 3/5]
Expanded Vision: Future readings will now provide deeper contextual clarity regarding environmental variables and micro-timelines.
April stared at the glowing notifications in surprise for a second before a massive, brilliant smile spread across her face.
Five insights a day? She had to actively suppress the urge to laugh out loud right there in the back seat.
So, using insight ten times activates the upgrade, huh? Before, she just had three but now, with five daily uses and an expanded vision perk, her operational flexibility had just skyrocketed.
The system truly was a fortune-telling powerhouse, adapting and expanding the more she milked the elite for their millions.
Just then, the system chimed again, clearing out that text and replacing it with a new section.
[System Suggestion: Business Authenticity Enhancement]
To solidify the Host’s reputation as a world-class Seer and streamline client reception, it is highly recommended to adopt a physical divination medium.
Please select a professional medium to channel future insights:
Option 1: Tarot Cards (Requires high proficiency in symbolic interpretation and card-shuffling mechanics.)
Option 2: Astrological Horoscopes & Charts (Requires advanced alignment calculations based on birth dates and planetary positions.)
Option 3: Ritualistic Divination Candles (Provides a highly atmospheric, spiritual resonance during readings.)
Option 4: Crystalline Seer Orb (A classic, streamlined focal point. High aesthetic value, low operational complexity.)
Ah, that’s right. It notified me of this last time. She thought as she blinked. Hm, let’s see.
April skimmed through the options, instantly eliminating them one by one.
Tarot cards? Absolutely not. She didn’t know the first thing about reading complex card spreads, and if a savvy billionaire asked her to explain the deep philosophical meaning behind the ’Three of Swords’ or the inverted ’Wheel of Fortune,’ she’d look like an amateur.
Horoscopes? Even worse. She had zero interest in memorizing birth charts, planetary retrogrades, or calculating solar alignments. She was trying to survive the apocalypse, not run a late-night radio hotline. freewebnøvel.com
Then her eyes drifted to the ritual candles. She scoffed internally. Carrying burning candles around just to light them in high-end boardrooms and sterile medical safehouses? It was entirely too ominous. She’d look less like a sophisticated, high-society seer and more like a suspicious cult leader trying to summon a demon in broad daylight.
Pft.
Her gaze finally locked onto the fourth and last option.
The crystalline seer orb.
It was perfect. It was simple, highly recognizable, and elegant. A flawless, polished glass orb was the universal symbol of foresight. Even a child knows that.
Best of all, it required absolutely no expensive knowledge or tedious explanations. She could just rest her hand on it, look mysterious, let the system feed her the answers, and look incredibly genuine while doing it.
And then the cash starts rolling in.
Option 4. The orb, April commanded mentally.
[Selection Confirmed: Crystalline Seer Orb added to Host’s personal inventory/dimension.]
Note: The item has been rendered as a high-purity, flawless quartz-crystal orb. It will serve as an excellent physical catalyst for future high-society readings.
A sense of profound satisfaction washed over her.
The next time she planned to extract 50 million from a billionaire, she would pull a beautiful, flawless crystal orb out of her tiny bag, look deep into its depths, and give them a show worth every single penny.
Xavier is going to be shocked. She nearly laughed to herself.
The billionaire tycoon who was used to seeing her reading his fortune out of thin air will have his eyes wide out of his sockets by the time she whips up this baby.
"We have arrived, Miss April," Samuel’s voice cut through her thoughts and April blinked. The system’s screen instantly dissolved from her view as she looked out the window.
Samuel had pulled the sedan up to the entrance of an exclusive, ultra-modern breakfast bistro nestled right at the edge of the high-end interior design and furniture district.
"Perfect timing, Samuel," April said, pulling her sunglasses over her eyes with a sleek, confident movement. "Let’s go get some food."
