NOVEL WEB Chapter 1,127: Astrology
"Uh... you are also short of food. Is it really okay to give me so much food?"
Wu Nini looked at the two pieces of bread in front of her and asked.
One piece is brown bread.
The other piece was also brown bread.
Or to use the correct term that was more popular in the past two years, it is "African American" bread.
…This is the only food they have.
"You're welcome, you're welcome!" The old woman looked at Wu Nini with relief, and pushed the bread in front of her: "Eat quickly, you deserve it."
"Then...I won't be polite."
Although Wu Nini said this, she did not intend to actually finish the bread.
She planned to only eat half a piece.
After all, the old woman and the little boy are the ones who need food more. Not to mention the issue of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, just from the perspective that the strong should protect the weak, she should not have all she can.
"Is that... an astrology poster?"
Wu Nini noticed a piece of yellowed paper in the corner and asked.
"Yes!" The little boy suddenly looked very excited: "Sister, do you believe in astrology?"
"I don't believe in divination." Wu Nini replied.
She took a bite of black bread and lost a lot of crumbs.
Then, she remembered a story Yukikaze Maru told her (with Satochiko acting as the translator).
That is, there was a great mathematician from the Italian Renaissance, his name was Cardano.
This man, like Leonardo da Vinci, was an encyclopedic figure. (The following achievements related to the first time are based on the common understanding of mortals on earth)
He wrote the first book on probability theory, "On Gambling Games," and published the general solution to third and fourth-order algebraic equations for the first time.
He was also the first to provide a clinical description of typhus, and also wrote two books: The Subtlety of Things and its supplement, The World of Things.
You can tell how powerful he is from the names of these two books. Most scholars would not dare to use such names when writing books.
What is less known is that Cardano also has another identity, that of an astrologer.
Astrology did not belong to the category of occult science at that time, but it was a legitimate science. At that time, there were still positions for professors of astrology in universities, and even professors would go to astrologers to ask about good or bad luck.
As a famous astrologer at the time, Cardano did a very suicidal thing in his later years.
That is, he calculated through astrology that he would die on September 21, 1576.
As a result, on that day, I found that I was in good health and showed no signs of sending it away.
then what should we do?
Of course, just to preserve his reputation as a great astrologer, he ended his own life~
After listening to this, Erina, who was pressing the store button of Yoshiyuki on the side, commented sharply that if those master scammers just claimed that they had successfully extended their lifespan
Mao Xiaoxia complained that if it were her, she would have done it for three days before, and then said that the cute Maomao was so powerful that she changed her destiny. From now on, when you tell people's fortunes, you will tell them that you have a bad luck and cheat money to buy a lot of delicious food.
Yin Noais, who was busy doing his best from the other side, poked Maomao's dumplings and asked why he could only achieve so much. You should use the money to take cute girls home and do the things you like.
The scarf ninja was about to say something when he heard this, but was pulled over by Erina who shouted, "What are you looking at! You can also add a silver handkerchief to me!" and slapped her hard.
As for Wu Nini herself, she was knocked down by Maomao and started to be overtaken, leaving her speechless.
