Zhou Jun's face was already wrinkled into a bun. After thinking for a few minutes, under the pressure of the clock hands in the sky turning round and round, he finally compromised.

[Contract Curse]

In life, it is inevitable to encounter various transactions. At this time, making a contract can be reassuring. After all, contracts are always fair, aren't they? Hehehehe...

Ability 1: Contract Curse

After drawing up the requirements, the system will automatically generate a contract, and the price paid by the capable person will depend on the goal of the contract and cannot be chosen independently. Contracts are valid for 2 hours, and a new contract can be generated every 24 hours. This time will be shortened as the ability upgrades.

The activation method must touch the body of the contracted person (ignoring the clothes), otherwise it will be deemed a failure and the contract will be voided. After a successful touch, the two parties establish a contract relationship, and the contractee must complete the contract goal, otherwise he will pay his life as the price.

After the contract goal is achieved, the capable person pays the corresponding price, and the contract is terminated. During the effective period of the contract, the contractee shall not harm the capable person in any form.

Sure enough, this guy's skills also have more abilities. Mo Xiaoyao glanced at the skill description displayed by the fat man, and wisely didn't ask what ability 2 is.

It was Zhou Jun himself who explained the three words "ability 1": "I haven't seen what other people's skills are like, but I reckon, maybe I can evolve into ability 2 in the future. Big sister, I showed it to you, you have to help me keep it a secret."

Mo Xiaoyao nodded: "Happy cooperation."... What a ghost!

They were all living on a cruise ship, and after confirming that Zhou Jun didn't really want to molested him, Mo Xiaoyao's anger naturally slowly dropped, and he was able to stop showing his face.

"Happy cooperation, happy cooperation." Zhou Jun rubbed his hands with a flattering smile, and heaved a sigh of relief after taking back the skill display. It can be seen one by one that this item is indeed usable, which is really convenient.

While talking, the two had already reached the project that Zhou Jun was going to. It was a field surrounded by a wooden fence. Outside there was a small pavilion with blue and white strips as a ticket office. The entrance was covered by a yellow The chains blocked it, and the NPC stood by to control the number of tourists entering.

On the side of the ticket booth, there is a huge poster about "Strange Fish Tank". The shadow NPCs in the poster are all animated, just like those pictures in the Daily Prophet.

A shadow NPC sat tremblingly on the narrow plank above the water tank, without handrails, relying entirely on its own balance. Another shadow NPC stood at the horizontal line in front of the water tank, holding a ball in his hand, aimed at the three targets on the side of the water tank, and threw it out forcefully.

Three balls hit three targets, the plank suddenly broke from the middle, and the previous shadow NPC fell into the water tank all at once.

Through the glass, you can see that there are a few small and cute fishes swimming in the water tank. It looks a bit like a tropical fish. I thought it was an embellishment, but after the NPC fell, the small fishes immediately showed their original faces , with a long mouth and sharp teeth biting the NPC.

The NPC was struggling in pain in the water tank, and the other NPCs who were watching the excitement outside the water tank began to applaud excitedly. After the little fish was full and came out of the water, spitting out dry bones, the poster temporarily fell into black silence, but after a few seconds , and a new cycle begins.

Mo Xiaoyao stared at the poster for a few minutes, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the shadow NPC's performance was too realistic, a bit like a real person.

In order to prevent himself from thinking about it, Mo Xiaoyao walked to the fence and looked inside, wanting to see if the real scene was the same as the poster.

It stands to reason that the project facilities inside can be seen from the outside of the fence, but Mo Xiaoyao stood on the side and watched for a long time, but he couldn't see anything. He just vaguely knew that someone was using the project inside and could hear From time to time, there were screams, water splashes, and gloating laughter.

"It's useless." Zhou Jun stood beside Mo Xiaoyao, looking up at the clock in the sky from time to time, "I tried it, and every circled item is the same, and nothing can be seen from the outside. "

"I don't understand." Mo Xiaoyao didn't turn his head, still staring at the field, "If you are afraid of this project, why don't you avoid it?"

"I think so too, big girl." The organs on Zhou Jun's face were wrinkled together, and he looked like he was about to cry, "Isn't this a ticket for sorting out?"

Hearing the new term, Mo Xiaoyao looked back at Zhou Jun, hoping that he could explain clearly on his own initiative, and don't bother himself to ask.

Sure enough, Zhou Jun understood what Mo Xiaoyao meant. Anyway, there is nothing that cannot be said. It is better to share information. In the future, everyone will hang out on the cruise ship. Many friends are better than many enemies.

"Collection coupons are distributed randomly. Every time you participate in a small game that can get tokens, there is a chance to get it. Getting the sorting coupon is equivalent to binding, and it cannot be transferred and discarded. It must be in accordance with the time period stated above. , to participate in the designated game, or you will be punished."

Having said that, Zhou Jun took out a two-finger wide silver cardboard out of thin air, put it in his hand and showed it to Mo Xiaoyao.

[Sorting Tickets]

Project name: Strange fish tank - the position on the tank

Owner: Zhou Jun

Appointment time: 08:00:00-08:01:00

Remarks: Those who miss the appointment will be obliterated.

"The strange fish tank is a two-person confrontation game. You have also seen the poster over there. I have a fixed position on the tank. If I don't find someone who has signed a contract to play with me, I really dare not go in."

Zhou Jun glanced at the poster on the other side of the ticket booth, and then quickly looked away. As the 8 o'clock dead line was getting closer, he didn't even dare to look there any more.

"If I really fell into the water tank and was bitten to death by fish, I would rather be wiped out by the system!"

Mo Xiaoyao nodded with empathy. If she were her, she would also choose a less painful way to die. Looking up at the time, there were still 3 minutes to 8 o'clock, and the two walked back to the entrance.

"This kind of two-person game, if the time is up and you are the only one participating, will you be sentenced to lose?"

"I don't know." Zhou Jun answered very simply, completely inconsistent with his current greasy image, "Maybe I will be counted as a loser, maybe I will be counted as a win, maybe I will be directly matched with a player—but I dare not bet, It's better to earn your own life with peace of mind."

Mo Xiaoyao looked at the fat man who was about to cry sympathetically, and didn't say anything, but he approved of his idea from the bottom of his heart.

07:58:35

Zhou Jun conjured up a ticket out of thin air and handed it to Mo Xiaoyao. He didn't deliberately conceal the fact that he had a carry-on bag. In his opinion, it was equipped for anyone who had experienced dungeons, and there was nothing to hide. Xiaoyao doesn't have it yet, but when he clears the dungeon, he will have it.

It was no secret that he had joined a faction on the ship, and lived for so many days, knowing that a lot of general information circulated among the various factions. If Mo Xiaoyao also joined a certain faction, then she should have known about it a long time ago, and there is nothing to hide.

"Remember, you must go in at the same time as me at 8 o'clock sharp. If there is a deviation, it must not exceed 1 minute."

Mo Xiaoyao felt that there was more greasy sweat on Zhou Jun's face. She looked down at the ticket, a little disgusted with the sweat stains on it. .

Zhou Jun didn't notice Mo Xiaoyao's small movements. He has no time to care about other things now. He looked up at the time in the sky for a while, then lowered his head and muttered to himself after a few seconds. Listening carefully, he could barely tell that it was all kinds of praying to God and worshiping Buddha. prayers.

Being teased by him, Mo Xiaoyao was also a little nervous. If she was just throwing the ball under the stage, there would be no danger in looking at the poster. But only if the person on the tank falls, and if that person doesn't—

Before she could continue thinking, Zhou Jun spoke suddenly, his nervous tone changed: "It's time! Hurry, hurry in!"

After speaking, he looked at Mo Xiaoyao in prayer for the last time, closed his eyes and tremblingly walked into the entrance where the NPC had already removed the yellow chain.

Mo Xiaoyao never thought of cheating Fatty, the contract clearly stated that she would have to pay with her life if she broke the contract. She didn't want to test the authenticity of this contract, and she didn't want to test whether this game would really kill people, or whether she would leave the game after death.

She doesn't want to take any bets about her life, or the same sentence, so what if it's the end, she wants to live.

Walking in behind Zhou Jun, Mo Xiaoyao's eyes blurred, and the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

She is standing on a platform now, surrounded by several shadow NPC spectators. There is a white line under her feet. On the edge of the white line, there is a small platform floating at the level of her waist. There is a groove on the platform. There are 5 small colored balls about the size of tennis balls inside.

On her right side, where there is still a face is a round hole human-shaped stand, guessing from the dress, it may be a clown in every circus.

If it is placed in a normal amusement park or scenic spot, this stand should be the kind that allows tourists to stick their heads over and take pictures. But here, there is only an extremely discordant sense of horror.

"Hey, here!"

Mo Xiaoyao raised his head and looked towards the voice, and saw Zhou Jun sitting on a suspended wooden board with a pale face, just like in the posters, holding the edge of the board with both hands.

Under the wooden board is a water tank, in which there are a few small fish swimming freely. If you only look at the appearance, you must not guess that their true colors are so scary.

"Big sister, I leave my life to you!" Zhou Jun yelled, daring to sit on the template. If the system hadn't stipulated that he had to sit with his feet drooping, he would have already He rolled his whole body onto the wooden plank and hugged him tightly, refusing to let go.

Mo Xiaoyao didn't answer him. While thinking about it, the countdown had already started. She only had time to glance at the rules, and the first ball jumped into her hand automatically, and beside the water tank where Zhou Jun was, 3 balls stood up. a circular target.

[Play an interesting game with your friends, hit the target with the ball in your hand, win the game, and let your friends experience the thrill of falling into the water~]

This is written in the rules, but Mo Xiaoyao, who was deeply brainwashed by poster propaganda, deeply doubts whether his friend will have another chance to experience excitement after falling into the water.
