Chapter 183: 177 Norton University: SS level invitation has arrived 【1 update】
“`
The young man’s pupils suddenly constricted, fixated intently on the last line of numbers, having forgotten that he was still adrift on the Atlantic.
His user level was S, so he knew clearly that this registration time referred not to the NOK forum, but to the Hidden Alliance.
After all, the internet hasn’t been around for a hundred years yet.
Even with the supernatural involved, the year 1496 just couldn’t be possible.
It is well known that accessing the hidden section of the NOK forum also means joining the Hidden Alliance.
Therefore, the full name No one knows actually refers to the Hidden Alliance.
Hidden from the world, unknown to all.
Indeed, the internet first appeared in 1969, but the NOK forum is only one of the many mediums used by the Hidden Alliance.
Long before the invention of the internet, the Hidden Alliance had already existed.
Which is why the earliest traces of the NOK forum could be traced back to the 15th century.
Only back then, it was still known as the Hidden Alliance.
As times progressed, the Hidden Alliance also started utilizing the internet.
Thus, there’s a group of people whose registration dates are before 1969, simply because they were already members of the Hidden Alliance.
But 1496?
That was over five hundred years ago, could the owner of the account still be alive?!
“Diviner…” The young man looked again at the ID of the person who had posted, murmuring to himself.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he lunged towards his bed and pulled out a box from underneath.
Inside was a notebook with yellowed pages, obviously very old.
The young man’s fingers trembled as he flipped to a certain page, his eyes widening once again.
He quickly scanned the contents, focusing only on the key points.
[1609, the Diviner predicted that the Lov Dynasty would perish on July 25th.
No one believed it at the time, dismissing the prophecy as a joke since the Lov Dynasty was the most powerful dynasty in O continent, seemingly unshakeable.
Yet, on the very day of July 25th, the emperor accidentally killed himself while practicing swordsmanship.
The Princess rebelled and attacked, slaughtering the Prince.
Overnight, the entirety of the Lov Dynasty’s royal family perished.
From then on, the Lov Dynasty came to an end.]
[1765, the Diviner predicted that Xize Laurent of the ruling Lorentz Family would die from an assassination.
The Lorentz Family was vigilant and protective, but still, they were unable to prevent the assassination from succeeding.
After the death of Xize Laurent, the Lorentz Family went into a Great Depression and declined until they were merely a shadow of their former self.]
[1780, the Diviner predicted the death of the last Witch Sorcerer in O continent.
That same year, on October 31st, the last Witch trial came to an end.
After that, there were no more Witch Sorcerers in O continent, diviners disappeared completely, with only Tarot Cards remaining.]
That was where the records ended.
This meant that after 1780, the Diviner had not issued any new prophecies.
Perhaps he had disappeared, or maybe he had gone into hiding.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
So even to this day, no one knows the Diviner’s gender, no one knows his age.
The only thing certain was that the Diviner must have had a very long life, otherwise the prophecies could not have spanned several centuries.
But no one focused on this; they were only concerned with whether they could find the Diviner.
Just getting one fortune told by the Diviner could change a person’s life drastically.
The young man’s persistence in searching for the site of Atlantis was because his ancestors had passed down such instructions to future generations.
The Lorentz Family had started with just a few individuals.
It was the Diviner who led them to the lost ancient continent, bringing back immeasurable wealth, more gold than they could count.
The young man was too excited to describe, and after setting the notebook down, he darted back to his computer.
In less than a minute, the number of replies under the bounty post had skyrocketed to over ten thousand, instantly making it a top trending topic!
But then the young man noticed that the registration time he had seen earlier had been replaced with a string of asterisks, obviously encrypted.
Even so, this ID had already caused a frenzy among the viewers.
[****, can someone pinch me, what did I just see? The top of the Bounty List??]
[In my lifetime, I actually got to see the top-ranking person on the Bounty List make a post?]
[Great one, I really want to know, what did you do to set your bounty so high?]
[My grandfather was a member of the Hidden Alliance, but even he has never seen you post, if I may ask boldly, Great One, how old are you this year?]
The era when the Hidden Alliance emerged is too distant now, and the current forum is filled with a new wave of members.
The old members aren’t just gone from replying to posts, their very bones have turned to ash.
Not all members have an ancient book passed down from generation to generation in their families, like the young man, with records of some of the Diviner’s prophecies.

Most people only knew that since the establishment of the NOK forum, the Diviner had been on the Bounty List, leading all others behind, and no hunter dared to take the mission.
At this moment, the international big shots, whether financial consortiums from Oceania, the chief inspector from IBI, or all hunters on the list, were all paying attention to this post.
Fu Yunshen was no exception.
He used a basic Level A account.
After all, his other accounts were not suitable for use, as using them would automatically float across the screen with bullet comments, alerting other users.
He looked at the three words “Diviner,” his eyes gradually deepening.
His phone rang.
Fu Yunshen glanced at it and answered.
“Have you seen the NOK forum? The number one on the Bounty List has appeared!” The voice on the other end of the phone was the Bartender, and he sounded very excited, “Hurry, you have higher permission than me. I’m just Level A, I can’t see other information. Check when he joined the Hidden Alliance.”
“Hmm,” Fu Yunshen looked at the year 1496, indifferent, “I can’t see it either.”
“You can’t see it?” The Bartender was startled, “How can you not see it? Aren’t you…”
The words stopped on his lips.
He knew Fu Yunshen wasn’t actually unable to see; he just didn’t want to share with him.
Their friendship hadn’t reached a point where they shared every secret with each other.
“Forget it,” the Bartender sighed, “But now that the Diviner has appeared again, can’t you go find ‘him’?”
He had always been skeptical about the term “Divine Calculation,” feeling it was overstated.
But he had to admit, there was no one on Earth more concealed than the Diviner.
He even suspected that the Diviner was a fake persona created by the NOK forum to motivate the hunters, being perennially listed as number one on the Bounty List.
But now it seemed that the Diviner really existed.
So, even IBI’s elite agents were no match for the Diviner.
To investigate anything, finding the Diviner was too easy.
With just a calculation, everything would come to light.
The Bartender got excited again, “Don’t you have an SS Level invitation from Norton University in your hands? Take on this bounty, and you will be able to meet the Diviner.”
“No need,” Fu Yunshen put down his glass and chuckled lowly, “I’ve already stopped wanting to investigate, and I’ve prepared the invitation for a kid.”
The Bartender was stunned, “Why?”
“No reason.” Fu Yunshen closed the NOK forum, lounging, “Maybe I’m prepared to just be a wastrel for the rest of my life, staying in Shanghai City.”
The two people he cared about the most were also in Shanghai City.
Old Master Fu’s illness had improved, and he had no need to go elsewhere.
“Are you crazy?” The Bartender was shocked into speechlessness, “Are you retiring? What about those people? And there, if they find out what you’ve done, they’ll go insane!”
“Hmm, retired, to enjoy my old age,” Fu Yunshen ended the call, “It’s over, don’t disturb me.”
He didn’t put down his phone, but rather opened WeChat.
Fu Yunshen looked lazy as he clicked on a cookie avatar.
[Yaoyao, go to bed early, and remember to drink a glass of warm milk.]
The reply from the other side came instantly.
[Got it, remember to take your medicine.]
Fu Yunshen turned his head and picked up the medicine bottle on the table, taking out a pill.
He called her a kid, but then she really treated him like some old man.

Ying Zijin woke up naturally the next day.
Today was June 1st, Monday, and normally she would have gone to school.
But she was planning to make a trip to Norton University, so she took the opportunity to request a month-long leave of absence.
The principal didn’t think twice before approving.
He even generously told her she could take a break until right before next year’s college entrance exams, as long as she was willing to show up for the tests.
Ying Zijin powered up her computer, logged into the NOK forum, and then…
It crashed for the first time.
After waiting for a dozen seconds, Ying Zijin finally got in, only to see a hundred thousand replies.
“…”
Huh.
She had thought that after more than two hundred years, the term “Diviner” wouldn’t wield such great influence anymore.
Of course, it wouldn’t have had such influence originally.
The blame lay with the Hidden Alliance for insisting on hanging her name at the top of the Bounty List after establishing the NOK forum,
She scrolled to the last reply.
[@Norton University: The SS Level academy invitation has arrived. We await at your convenience.]
