Early in the morning, Lin Xi, who had a good night's sleep, woke up from her sleep, stood up and walked to the window, opened the curtains to let the sunlight in, pushed open the balcony door to let the sea breeze blow, boiled a pot of water, made a cup of coffee, leaned on the exquisite iron railing, and lazily looked at the blue sea in the distance. At this moment, she was happy.
until…
"Friendly reminder, you only have a little merit left." The system's voice sounded very unpleasantly.
Lin Xi spat out the coffee she had just drunk with a "puff" sound, and her good mood for the day was gone just like that.
Can't you wait until she enjoys this pleasant morning
Lin Xi glanced at the coffee in the cup and immediately lost the mood to drink it. She didn’t like coffee in the first place, but she brewed it just because she felt that such a breakfast and such a balcony required a cup of coffee.
Putting the coffee cup on the round table on the balcony, Lin went to collect the clothes that were hung on the balcony after washing last night. She went back to her room to change, combed her hair, looked sideways at the glaring sunlight outside the window, and found the sunscreen provided by the hotel. She squeezed a little and applied two layers on her face. Everything was ready. Just as she was about to go out, her phone suddenly vibrated.
Lin Yan clicked on it and saw that it was Aquaman who invited everyone to have breakfast in the group: [@Everyone, are you up yet? Let’s go eat together? ]
Qingkong: [I'm not in Mudai River, can you not @ me? ]
Aquaman: [It’s too troublesome to @ each one, just pretend you’re there.]
Qingkong: [I need to sleep for a while longer, so I won’t go to eat.]
Brother, you are really cooperative.
King of Dirt: [I’m already in the restaurant.]
Chu: [Just went out.]
Lin Yan followed up with: [I’ll be right there.]
Lin Xi quickly changed her shoes, took the room card and went out, walking towards the elevator.
The hotel restaurant is on the first floor. Lin handed the room card to the service staff at the door. After swiping the card, she was qualified to enter. The breakfast provided by five-star hotels is basically a buffet, while the breakfast of five-star hotels by the sea is slightly more luxurious, with more local seafood.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Chen Chu and the others sitting at the dining table by the window. The reason was simple: three tall and handsome guys with different temperaments sitting together was really eye-catching.
Lin Xi didn't rush over. She just waved at them and pointed to the buffet table next to her, indicating that she would go get the food first. Then she took a plate from the cupboard and started choosing her favorite food.
After walking around, Lin Xi finally sat down with a glass of milk and some fruit.
"You only eat this little? I get it, you're losing weight!" Aquaman asked the question without letting others answer, and gave his judgment very confidently.
"No, I ordered a bowl of casserole rice noodles. It's not cooked yet and will be served in a while." Lin Xi suddenly wanted to eat rice noodles, so she ordered one when she saw it.
The Sea King said, "Oh," and then asked, "How was it, did you sleep well last night?"
Lin Yan nodded happily: "I can still smell the scent of the sea in the room, it's very comfortable."
Aquaman: "Would you like to stay a few more days?"
Lin Yan thought for a moment and shook her head, "Let's go back first. I have to send back the things I bought for the company."
Hai Wang advised: "Assistant Tan is in seclusion anyway, so it doesn't matter if he goes back a few days earlier or later."
Lin Yan: "It's better not to do it. The sooner it is stored, the sooner we can feel at ease."
Carrying such a large amount of supplies, Lin Xi always felt a huge pressure. She had better go back and complete the task quickly so that she could be free from worries.
Seeing that Lin Xi insisted, Hai Wang didn't say anything else and only said that he wanted to stay in Mudai River for a few more days.
"Where is the Dirty King? Do you want to go back with us? If so, I will buy the tickets for you later." Lin Xi did not ask Chen Chu. Chen Chu came on the business trip with her, so naturally he had to go back with her.
The King of Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "No, I will stay in the imperial capital for a few days before going back."
"Want to go home and visit?" Aquaman said casually, picking up a chicken roll and putting it into his mouth. Just after chewing it, the saltiness of the chicken roll made his scalp tingle and he began to doubt his life.
Oh my god, what is this
Aquaman quickly took a tissue and spit out the stuff. Without even talking, he picked up the cup on the table and drank the water. But after taking a sip, he felt a taste even more fishy and salty than sea water. He felt so nauseous that he almost vomited out his overnight meal.
“Yun Yi!” The Sea King had a dark face and grabbed the Dirty King who was sitting next to him. “Remove the curse for me right now.”
The water tastes salty, it must be this kid's curse.
Yun Yi? So the name of the dirty king is Yun Yi. Lin Yan looked at the two people who suddenly started fighting in confusion.
Facing the murderous gaze of the Sea King, the Dirty King had a calm expression, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and with a snap, the curse was lifted. The Sea King immediately let go of the Dirty King's collar, reached out and grabbed the cup next to the Dirty King, and drank it in one breath. This time, he did not spit it out again.
Is it really a curse
"Damn it! You have a bad relationship with your family, why do you take it out on others?" Although the curse was lifted, Aquaman no longer had an appetite for food.
The Dirty King glanced at him coldly.
"What are you looking at? Do you want to fight?" We are all A-level, so who is afraid of who
The Dirt King snorted, took a tissue to wipe his mouth, ignored the provocation of the Sea King, stood up and left the restaurant directly.
"Who is that?" Aquaman said angrily.
"You know very well that he doesn't like others mentioning his family matters, so why do you provoke him?" Chen Chu frowned and looked at Neptune, his tone showing disapproval.
Aquaman stammered a few times, feeling somewhat guilty, and completely lost his arrogance.
Lin Yan asked curiously, "Does the relationship between the King of Dirty and his family become very bad?"
She had a vague feeling about it when they were in Blizzard City before, because Yun Zhou's attitude towards the King of Wu was very bad at that time.
The Sea King sighed and said, "The Dirty King is from the Yun family. The Yun family in the imperial capital has been wood-type supernatural beings for generations. But in this generation, the eldest son of the direct line has mutated into a curse master."
"Is it because of this that they reject the Dirty King?" Lin Yan's mind couldn't help but imagine a lot of ridiculous plots. "This can't be blamed on the Dirty King, he can't decide what his own ability is."
Aquaman: "It's not entirely due to this reason. The main reason is that the time when the Dirty King awakened was wrong. The time when he awakened was exactly when his younger brother was born."
"So what?" Lin Xi still didn't understand.
Chen Chu put down his chopsticks and continued, "The awakening of a curse master is different from other superpowers. The awakening of a curse master must be accompanied by a curse."
Aquaman: "On the day the Dirty King awakened, the Yun family's mistress died during childbirth."
Lin Yan's eyes widened suddenly, she understood something, but instinctively didn't believe it: "Impossible, the Dirty King would never curse... How is it possible."
Lin Yan firmly refused to believe it. Although the King of Dirty seemed difficult to approach on weekdays, he tried every means to go in and rescue Yun Zhou after knowing that Yun Zhou might be in danger after entering Blizzard City. How could a brother who was so good to his brother curse his mother
Aquaman spread his hands and said, "It's useless for us to believe it. No one in their family believes it."
Lin Yan asked: "Why? Do they have evidence to prove that it was the curse of the Dirty King?"
Chen Chu: "When the Dirty King awakened, no one around him showed any signs of being cursed, except for his mother who suffered misfortune."
Lin Yan said in disbelief: "Because when a curser awakens, there must be a curse, and when the King of Dirt awakens, no one around him is cursed, so the death of the Yun family mistress is forcibly placed on the curse of the King of Dirt? Is this possible?"
Aquaman: "Why not? It's the process of elimination. It makes sense."
Lin Xi opened her mouth and wanted to say something to refute the Yun family's speculation, but after thinking for a long time, she really couldn't come up with a more reasonable explanation.
Lin Xi suddenly felt a little depressed.
At this time, a waiter in a restaurant uniform came over with a boiling hot casserole. He stopped beside Lin Yan, looked at the yellow menu in her hand, and asked politely, "Excuse me, is this your casserole rice noodles?"
Lin Yan came back to her senses and nodded quickly: "It's mine."
"Excuse me, can you show me your menu?" The waiter was afraid that he had sent the wrong one.
Lin Yan quickly let go of the menu in her hand, revealing the number inside: 36.
"It is indeed your clay pot rice noodles. Please turn sideways to be careful of burns." The waiter reminded, and waited for the customer to turn sideways before bending down to carefully place the tray of clay pot rice noodles on the table. At this moment, the waiter's feet suddenly slipped, and he lost his balance and fell forward, and the clay pot in his hand accurately splashed towards Lin Yan's face.
Lin Xi was completely sunken in the chair. It was too late for her to hide. In horror, she could only instinctively cover her face with her arms to reduce the area of disfigurement.
At this moment, Lin Xi felt something pulling her chair, and she quickly moved half a meter away with the chair. The boiling hot rice noodles splashed down high, and the soup splashed everywhere, the closest of which was less than a centimeter away from her feet.
[The card of the goddess of luck, the skill has been refreshed.]
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that, I'm really sorry." The waiter apologized hurriedly, "Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? Do you want to see a doctor? I'll pay for the medical expenses, all of them."
Chen Chu let go of the hand holding the back of the chair, bent down to look at Lin Yan, and made sure that Lin Yan's body was not stained with the splashing soup. Knowing that he had acted in time just now, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you okay?"
"No...it's okay." Lin Yan was still in fear at this time.
At this time, the restaurant manager was also attracted by the noise. As soon as he saw the situation, he knew what happened. He came up to apologize to Lin Yan: "Ma'am, I'm really sorry. This is our negligence in our work. I will definitely deal with him seriously later. Do you think you need to go to the hospital?"
"No, I'm fine. Don't blame him, it's none of his fault." Lin Xi pleaded for the waiter.
"Ah?" The restaurant manager was stunned. He didn't blame the waiter. Could it be that the customer broke the casserole himself
"What do you mean it's none of his business? If it wasn't for Chen Chu, you would have been disfigured." Hai Wang was watching from the side and saw clearly that it was the waiter who lost his balance and spilled the casserole. As a waiter, this was a huge mistake at work.
"It's okay. I'm not hurt. It's not a big deal. Well, don't make it too hard on him. I'll move to the next table to eat, and you can bring me a new bowl. We'll just forget about this." Lin Xi knew what was going on when she saw the system prompt. Due to her own sequelae, she didn't feel comfortable making things difficult for others. She just wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter.
The restaurant manager had no choice but to accept the guest's understanding. He immediately thanked the guest profusely and personally sent the guest to the next table. He also wrote down Lin Xi's room number and said he would give her a gift as compensation later.
"You are too easy to talk to. Kindness is a good thing, but it should be used at the right time. It was just us just now. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been disfigured by now." Neptune disagreed with Lin Xi's decision. He did not think that indiscriminate kindness was a good thing.
"Another sequelae?" Chen Chu noticed that the waiter fell in a strange way and felt that something was not right.
"Yeah." Lin Xi nodded.
"What sequelae?" Aquaman looked confused.
"The hairpin of the goddess of luck." Lin Yan explained, "It can indeed bring good luck after using the hairpin, but within the next 24 hours, you will randomly have bad luck once, as happened just now."
The Sea King opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to say, "Oh my god, it's a good thing that my wish yesterday didn't come true."
As soon as he said this, the gazes of the two people opposite him shot over at the same time, sharp as knives.
Aquaman coughed lightly, turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery outside the window.
"Are there any other sequelae?" Lin Yan had too many sequelae. She was hit by a plane yesterday and splashed with hot soup today. I don't know if she has any more. Chen Chu wanted to have a general idea so that he could be more careful next time.
"No more." Lin Xi shook her head.
She has always kept in mind the aftereffects of the lucky hairpin and is mentally prepared, but the reason why bad luck is called bad luck is that it will definitely appear when you are not paying attention.
"Are you sure? You seemed to have used four props yesterday." Most of Lin Xi's sequelae came from props, and Chen Chu remembered that Lin Xi used a total of four props in the subspace.
"It's really gone. Not every prop has sequelae. We were hit by planes twice yesterday and two props were damaged." Lin Xi explained.
"You were hit by a plane twice?"
Chen Chu and Hai Wang asked at the same time, their voices full of shock. Especially Hai Wang, he had no idea that Lin Yan was hit by a plane, this was the first time he heard about it, and his eyes were full of disbelief. Although Chen Chu knew that Lin Yan was hit by a plane, he only saw it once and didn't know that it was the second time Lin Yan was hit.
Lin Xi nodded awkwardly.
Aquaman: "So... is the plane okay?"
Lin Yan: “…”
Asking such a question, Aquaman, are you still human
Aquaman: "Why? My worry is reasonable. You are fine, I have seen this, but you crashed the plane, and there were hundreds of people on the plane."
Lin Yan suppressed her anger and said, "The plane is just a prop that causes sequelae. It left after completing its mission. What can happen?"
Neptune thought for a moment and said, "Then the waiter just now was quite unlucky. He was inexplicably used as a tool? Although you didn't pursue it, it is a fact that he made a mistake. His superiors will definitely deal with him. It can be regarded as an unprovoked disaster."
Lin Yan was stunned. She had never thought of this before. When Neptune reminded her of this, she instantly felt uncomfortable. It was her choice to use the hairpin, and she should bear the sequelae, but she couldn't let this matter implicate others.
"System, can you think of a way to prevent the waiter from being punished?" Lin Wei asked the system.
"Why should we avoid it? If he doesn't splash you today, he will splash someone else tomorrow." said the system.
What do you mean if he doesn’t splash it on me today, he will splash it on others tomorrow
Lin Yan blinked and thought for a while: "You mean, this waiter is destined to splash soup on a customer once while working, but it just happened to happen to me, so it happened to me?"
"Yes, so you don't have to forgive him. He would have lost his job because of this." said the system.
"So..." Lin Yan thought about the car accident after using the Goddess Hairpin for the first time, "was it the same thing that happened to my car the last time?"
"Yes, he is destined to cause death by drunk driving." System.
After listening to this, Lin Xi was completely relieved. It turned out that there were no innocent people among the participants in the bad luck arranged for her by the system. That was good.
Seeing that Lin Yan hadn't spoken for a long time, Chen Chu thought she was feeling guilty, so he said to Hai Wang, "Don't you know the owner of this hotel?"
"The person I know is the boss's daughter," Aquaman emphasized.
Chen Chu didn't care who he knew, as long as it worked: "Go and say hello, don't let them punish him too severely."
It is impossible for the hotel not to punish such a big mistake. All they can do is to minimize the degree of punishment. Although I feel sorry, this is all I can do.
"Okay." Hai Wang agreed immediately. After all, Lin Yan's sequelae had something to do with him, so it was only right for him to help.
"No need." Lin Yan looked up and said, "He is not innocent either. He will make a mistake anyway."
This mistake happened to her, which was actually good luck to the waitress in some way. If it were someone else, the waitress would not only lose her job but also have to pay a large sum of medical expenses, so they didn't need to feel sorry.
"What do you mean?" Aquaman didn't understand.
Chen Chu's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought of something, and guessed: "Are you saying that today's accident was what would happen to that service life just now?"
"That's right." Lin Xi nodded.
"How do you know?" asked Aquaman.
"I figured it out through divination." Lin Xi said.
"I almost forgot that you can tell fortunes. Your props are so dazzling that I almost ignored your ability. But to be honest, compared with the props, your ability of divination is pretty useless." said the King of the Sea.
Lin Yan laughed and gave Hai Wang a look that said, "You mortals won't understand." Fortune-telling is useless? Without fortune-telling, where would the props come from
"Snap!" There was a sound.
The chair under Aquaman suddenly fell apart, and all four legs broke. It fell apart so suddenly and without any warning. Even with the reaction speed of an Aquaman A-level psychic, he was unable to react and fell heavily on his back.
[Xie Xingyu, male, 24 years old, fell on his back because he couldn’t control his mouth.]
Um
Hmmmm?
This is a fortune! System, are you too petty
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the divination task. I will reward you with a little merit and 0 yuan for divination."
Lin Yan, who had done nothing, immediately expressed her opinion: "System, I support you. In fact, I have disliked him for a long time."
