The next morning, Lin Xi was called to the factory building by Tang Mingxu.
"Lin Xi, baby, you are my baby." As soon as Lin Xi came in, Tang Mingxu gave her an exaggerated hug.
Lin Yan was so scared that she retreated out of the door: "Boss, I don't like your type."
"You wish." Tang Mingxu gave Lin Yan a coquettish look.
"That's good." Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. She almost thought that her boss had changed his sexual orientation.
Tang Mingxu was in a very good mood and was not angry at Lin Yan's words. He still looked at Lin Yan with a smile: "Baby, you are famous."
"What?" Lin Yan was confused.
"You're famous, famous in the escape game circle, and our store is famous too. This morning alone, the number of reservations for our store has increased seven or eight times, and it's still increasing. The reservations for the coffin shop have been scheduled for half a month later." Tang Mingxu's eyes were shining, emitting the light of money.
"Popular? How did it become popular?" Lin Xi wondered.
"Shen Zhi, do you still remember? He was one of the handsome boys who came to play in the escape room yesterday. You cursed him to have a fish bone stuck in his throat. I tell you, he really did have a fish bone stuck in his throat, hahahaha..." Tang Mingxu laughed crazily and gloatingly, "You cursed him yesterday, but he didn't believe it. After leaving us, he ordered grilled fish on purpose to try if the curse was effective. As a result... he almost died after trying it. Hahaha..."
Tang Mingxu couldn't help but burst into laughter again: "No, we can't laugh at such a tragic thing, it's too immoral, but... I'm really happy. Hahaha... Ahem, no more laughing, no more laughing. Anyway, your curse has worked again. What's even more amazing is that they were actually live streaming while eating yesterday, and the comedy effect directly brought fame to our store and you, the cursed female ghost. Come, let me show you the video..."
In the video, Shen Zhi was still righteously saying that feudal superstitions were unreliable, that curses were fictitious, and that it was a shameless marketing method of the store, but in the next second, a fish bone got stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak. Then he drank vinegar and swallowed rice, but still couldn't get the fish bone out. In the end, there was no other way, so he was sent directly to the hospital. What's even more amazing is that the live broadcast did not stop until the doctor took the pliers to remove the fish bone from Shen Zhi's mouth, and gave a close-up of the fish bone.
Lin Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw the series of “Hahahahaha” in the barrage.
"Without saying too much, I, your brother Tang, am the most loyal person. You have made the greatest contribution to the success of our store. I will give you a red envelope at the end of the month." Tang Mingxu winked at Lin Yan in a coquettish manner.
"Thank you, boss. You are the most handsome." Lin Xi was so happy that she didn't even find the boss's eyes irritating.
"Work hard and try to curse more people." Tang Mingxu said.
"Yes, I will definitely curse more. Huh?" Why does it sound like something is wrong
"I checked this morning and found that the two teams you booked are not very strong and they probably won't be able to pass the level. You just stay in the dressing room and think about the curse lines." Tang Mingxu said.
"Curse lines?" Lin Yan was puzzled.
"I've discovered that everyone has bad habits. The more you forbid them to do something, the more they will do it. Take Shen Zhi's case, for example. The more you forbid him to eat fish, the more he will eat. As long as he eats, there's a chance that a fish bone will get stuck in his throat. So, I think your curse lines in the future can follow this route. For example, choking when drinking water, stumbling when walking, choking when eating, and so on. The more the players care and pay attention, the more likely the curse will come true." Tang Mingxu talked about his thoughts incessantly.
"What if it didn't happen?" Lin asked.
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't happen. These are all daily occurrences. If it doesn't happen today or tomorrow, it will happen one day. As long as it happens, your curse will be considered a success."
Lin Yan, who had the divination system in hand, was stunned by Tang Mingxu's trick. She couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Boss, if you don't open the secret room, you are definitely a big liar."
"That's right." Tang Mingxu raised his head proudly, "Think about it carefully, don't be lazy, I'm going to receive the guests."
Lin Yan naturally wouldn't really think about the lame curse of "choking when drinking water, stumbling when walking", that was a trick of a liar, and she was a person with a cheat. However... this cheat was good in every way, but the merit value was a bit low.
"well"
Looking at the lonely 8 merit points in her personal panel, Lin Xi couldn't help but sigh.
I clearly had 99 merit points yesterday, but now only a fraction is left. Where did all the merit points go
Lin Yan began to review:
Draw "Sadako's Long Hair": -10 Merit Points.
Help Qi Anlian avoid bad luck: 10 Merit points.
Enable the secondary attribute of "Sadako's Long Hair": -50 merit points.
Carrying Chen Chu to climb the TV: -40 merit points.
Basic system operation today: -1 merit point.
Balance: 8 Merit points.
This was all thanks to Chen Chu's extraordinary appearance, which made Sadako very happy and she took the initiative to give him a 20% discount. Otherwise, her merit value would have been negative.
In the past, her requirements for merit points were simple, and she only wanted to earn enough merit points to maintain the basic operation of the system, that is, 1 merit point per day.
But after last night, Lin Yan decided that she would earn more merit points and buy more props. Just because of her hidden skill of "attracting hatred", what she bought was not props, but the capital for her survival!! Who knows what bad luck will happen in the future, this time Lin Yan really knows her luck value.
In the two-story building of the former government building in Guanghua District, Jin City.
An Wenbo had just returned from the imperial capital. As soon as he entered the office, his assistant came in with several lists for him to look over.
"Are these the people with special abilities who have awakened in the past six months?" An Wenbo flipped through the list.
"Yes, there are five in total, and only one of them is a D-level esper." The assistant introduced, "He is a diving enthusiast. During a deep dive, his equipment was damaged and he ran out of oxygen. He did not drown in the sea, but instead evolved a pair of gills and gained the ability to breathe underwater. The rest are all F-level, and most of them are strength-type."
"Wang Dawei?" An Wenbo read the name on the resume.
"yes."
"Physical evolution, atavism? Breathing in water, it doesn't seem to be very useful at the moment, sign a confidentiality agreement, create a file, and continue to observe. For the rest of the F-level, if they don't have special abilities, don't worry about them. If they have special abilities, also sign a confidentiality agreement." In the official supernatural power level, F-level is the lowest. Take the power system as an example. The power of F-level power users is just beyond the scope of ordinary people, not outstanding. Usually, when encountering extreme events, the potential is stimulated and evolution occurs.
For example, we occasionally see news reports about a mother who suddenly became extremely strong and lifted the car with her bare hands in order to save her child who was crushed by a car. This kind of situation is called power evolution. Usually, for this kind of evolution, if the level is not above C level, the official department will not intervene. Even the superpower person himself will only feel that his strength has simply increased, and will not feel that he has superpowers.
However, other types of superpowers, such as fire, water, and atavism to grow fish gills, are too special and easy to be discovered by ordinary people, so the relevant departments need to take action to provide special training for these people, especially in terms of confidentiality.
"Okay." The assistant nodded and handed a separate document to An Wenbo. "Xie Xingyu asked the bureau a few days ago if they needed to recruit more people, and recommended this person."
"Jie Xingyu?!" An Wenbo frowned, took the list and looked at it carefully, "Lin Yan, Sadako-like skills? Climb the TV!"
As the leader of the sixth group of the National Special Events Investigation Bureau's superpowers group, An Wenbo has seen countless superpowers, but this is the first time he has seen a "Sadako-type" superpower. What the hell is crawling on a TV
"Lin Yan, 21 years old, a senior student majoring in financial management at Luye University, was in a very serious car accident more than half a month ago, but miraculously only suffered some minor injuries after the accident. She was only hospitalized for two days and then discharged. I guess she must have awakened during the car accident, and the awakened supernatural power protected her. According to Xie Xingyu, Lin Yan crawled into Chen Chu's house from the TV three days ago..."
"Puff" An Wenbo sprayed a mouthful of tea half a meter away, "Who?"
"Chen Chu." The assistant repeated calmly.
"Why did she crawl into Chen Chu's house?" An Wenbo calmed down and asked while wiping the documents that he had wet with a napkin.
"Lin Yan encountered a pervert on her way home from her part-time job and was followed. In desperation, she used Sadako's skills and accidentally climbed into the TV in Chen Chu's house, where she was spotted by Chen Chu. In the end, Chen Chu stepped in to help deal with the pervert who was following her and handed her over to the local police station." Three days was enough time for the assistant to investigate the cause and effect of the incident clearly.
"You mean, this girl not only climbed into the TV by herself, but also brought Chen Chu with her?" The two perverts who followed were bad, but they were definitely not stupid. They would definitely not stay there stupidly and wait for Chen Chu to run over and catch them. So it could only be that this girl named Lin Yan brought Chen Chu with her and crawled back the same way.
Thinking of that scene, An Wenbo suddenly wanted to laugh.
"Yes." The assistant adjusted his glasses.
"This ability is indeed quite rare, but it's only F-level, which is a bit low." An Wenbo pondered for a moment, "Recruit him in."
"Okay, then what position should be assigned to her?" The combat power of F-level is too low, and she does not need to go on missions. If she is included in the organization, she must have a corresponding position.
"Just make one up if you think you can." An Wenbo said without much concern.
"Okay." The assistant turned around and went out, sat at his desk, turned on his computer, spent an hour browsing recruitment websites, studying how other companies recruited, and then wrote an interview notice and sent it to Lin Yan's email.
At this time, Lin Xi was in the library with Song Ranran revising a paper. While checking for plagiarism, the cell phone beside her rang.
Lin Xi turned her head to look, and saw four big words "Interview Notice" shining brightly on the screen.
