The Greatest Astrologist

Chapter 066 - “I thought it was a video on astrology; turned out it was about recruitment.” (2)

“What lucky things will happen next month?” Qiu Qingkong went up to take a look at what Chu Qianli was pointing at and asked curiously, “Why this one? I was worried that this one would be too plain when I wrote it down.”

Chu Qianli, “This one has a time frame and the accuracy will be higher. We can even combine with the use an astronomical disc.”

It was not possible to do public reading on a 1-on-1 basis; as such, the accuracy would be affected. If they wanted to describe it for a type of individuals, they would need to set certain boundaries.

“An astronomical disc?”

“Yes. Think of the planetary movements like weather in space. Different astronomical period means different focuses. For example, when Jupiter is reacting to Uranus, the focus during this period of time would be technological advancement. That could be translated into digital currency, anti-aging medicine, or space travel, etc.”

Chu Qianli smiled and said, “Many feel that planetary movements have nothing to do with them. What they don’t know is that we are all enveloped in them.”

Qiu Qingkong said in a thoughtful way, “Is that so?”

Chu Qianli nodded and added, “Many major events in history could be tie to specific planetary movements. Sometimes astrologists could even become collateral damages. Take early study of astrology as an example. Everyone thought that ‘7’ is a perfect number. Old-school astrology had always used 7 planets in their readings. Nevertheless, when Uranus was discovered and the rigorous system was broken, astrology was almost wiped off and the scientific era had arrived.”

Tan Muxing looked up from his search on clothing design and retorted in a low voice, “Why was it that you sounded quite happy when you recount this incident as an astrologist?”

Chu Qianli sounded almost cheerful when she got to the point that “astrology was almost wiped off”.

Chu Qianli lifted up her chin proudly. “Because astrology will not die. Only those who are close-minded will. Uranus had always been the planet that represented revolution. Its discovery was to challenge the authorities, the existing processes, and for targeting those who insisted on the traditional ways!

“Astrologists losing their reputation is not a terrible event. The stars don’t care whether people believe in them or not. Only those who tried to use the stars for their personal gain in power and status would worry about it.” The corner of Chu Qianli’s lips rose a little and she said coldly, “Wasn’t it only normal that things backfired on them when they failed to look at matters from a development standpoint?”

“……” Tan Muxing suddenly understood why she had had so much conflicts with other astrologists in the past.

Qiu Qingkong, “Okay, so we are going to lock down on this topic? We are going to use next month’s astrological disk, right?”

Chu Qianli, “That’s right. The video will expire if you don’t post it net month. I feel that if we are to pick a different topic, you would drag your feel after we have finished with our filming.”

Chu Qianli had a feeling that had she chosen any other topic, Qiu Qingkong would have lost her attention span after the filming and might start dragging her feet on the video-editing portion. She was, after all, someone with a very short attention span.

Qiu Qingkong was stunned. “…… Oh, so part of this was to cure my procrastination.”

Qiu Qingkong went to borrow the equipment from other students earlier and the three of them planned to find some time to film after school one day.

Qiu Qingkong posted some videos from a certain site onto their chatgroup. When she saw Chu Qianli’s profile picture, she said helplessly, “Teacher, can you at least put up a profile photo?”

Yu Shen only tied a bank card to Chu Qianli’s phone at the time but did not set a profile photo for her. Chu Qianli’s profile photo was still the initial grey avatar.

Qiu Qingkong felt that Chu Qianli was too lazy to not have ever added a picture to her profile.

“But I don’t know what to use.”

“Let me send some to our group and we can set our profile pictures together.”

Qiu Qingkong picked and chose and sent a bunch to their group chat. Not only did Chu Qianli find a suitable profile picture for herself, even Tan Muxing was forced to switch for the sake of team spirit.

Chu Qianli’s one was Sakura Kinomoto; Tan Muxing one was Tomoyo Daijouji; and Qiu Qingkong was Cereberus. Their group had suddenly been converted to the Cardcaptor Sakura trio.

Chu Qianli was very excited. “The polar bear had evolved into Tomoyo Daidouji!”

Tan Muxing, “……” Why did he feel that this was a subtle hint for him to sew?
