After taking a shower, Lin Yan carried her dirty clothes to the bathroom. When she opened the dormitory door, she saw Li Menglin standing at the door holding a computer.
"What are you doing?" Lin Xi was startled.
"My computer really fell down just now." As if afraid that Lin Yan would not believe it, Li Menglin pointed to a mark on the corner of the computer and said, "Look, this is where it fell just now."
"Oh." Lin Yan walked past Li Menglin and continued to walk towards the bathroom without much interest. I had already reminded her, but she didn't take it seriously, so it was not her fault.
Li Menglin followed behind him, limping.
Lin Xi looked at her in surprise.
"I accidentally hit my foot." Li Menglin explained.
Lin Xi said "oh" again and said nothing more. She walked into the bathroom, threw all the dirty clothes she had accumulated over the past few days into the washing machine, put in coins, and started the washing machine.
"How do you know my computer will fall?" Li Menglin asked as she chased Lin Yan.
"I saw it." Lin Xi said.
"How did you see it? When you reminded me, I looked at the computer. The computer was just fine on the computer desk, and there was nothing wrong with it. The reason it fell was because I accidentally bumped it with my arm when I stood up, and you had already returned to your dormitory at that time, so it was impossible for you to see this scene. Unless you can see the future." Li Menglin stared at Lin Yan closely.
Lin Yan looked at Li Menglin in shock: "Why do you think so?"
Most normal people would think it is a coincidence.
"That's how it's played out in anime. If the protagonist survives a disaster, he or she will gain superpowers." Li Menglin said with a firm tone, looking at Lin Xi with some expectations in her eyes.
"You're right, I did gain special abilities." For a veteran anime fan like Li Menglin, who has not yet gotten over her middle school years, blindly denying it would only lead to her endless harassment. So, Lin Yan admitted it frankly.
"Really! I guessed right! You have gained the ability to foresee the future." Li Menglin's face flushed with excitement and her whole body trembled.
“NO, NO, NO…” Lin Yan stretched out a finger and shook it slowly, “What I gained is the ability to curse.”
Li Menglin's excited expression instantly turned into surprise.
"Think about it, did I just say that your computer would fall, and then your computer fell? This is a curse. Stay away from me in the future, or you might as well be careful that I curse you." Lin Xi showed a "sinister" smile.
Li Menglin's face turned pale. Without saying anything else, she turned around and left with her notebook in her arms. She was so fast.
"Do you believe it?" Lin Xi stuck out her tongue and went back to the dormitory in a good mood.
After drying the clothes, Lin went to the cafeteria to have lunch and happened to meet the counselor, Teacher Qi. Teacher Qi was surprised to see Lin: "You are discharged from the hospital? I said I would visit you in the afternoon."
"The doctor said I'm fine, so I'm leaving the hospital." Lin Yan thanked him, "I heard from the nurse that my teacher went there on the day I had the accident. Thank you for your help."
"This is what we should do. The most important thing is that you are safe. By the way, has the driver been found?" Teacher Qi asked.
"I don't know. The police station didn't contact me, so I guess not." Lin Xi shook her head.
"People like this should be arrested and put in jail for life." Teacher Qi said viciously, and then asked casually, "By the way, have you found a job?"
"Not yet." As the only person in the class who has not found a job, Lin Xi felt a little guilty.
"Ah? Yes, really? It's okay, just look slowly, you will definitely find it. Well, teacher has something else to do, so I'll leave first." Teacher Qi turned and left. His hurried back revealed his embarrassed heart.
After lunch, Lin went out to work part-time, still in the same cake shop as last time. Because of the last car accident, Lin now has a psychological shadow when crossing the road. Even if the light is green, she has to look back and forth several times before she dares to cross the road.
The place where Lin Xi worked part-time was called Panda Cake Shop. The manager was a handsome man in his thirties. When he saw Lin Xi coming, he first asked about her health, and then arranged some easy work for her. He asked her to just stay in the store and work as a cashier, and she didn't have to deliver food.
Lin Yan worked in the cake shop until five o'clock, then ended her part-time job. When she left, the manager gave her a few small cakes: "We made a lot of these today, so we probably won't be able to sell them all. You can have some."
"Thank you, Manager." Lin Yan happily took it. She liked working here because she could eat some of the fresh cakes that the store couldn't sell out.
"Xiao Ping, have you found a job?" The store manager also knew that Lin Ping had been unable to find a job.
Lin Xi shook her head.
"Then do you want to work for me?" the manager asked with a smile.
"Don't we have enough staff in the store?" Lin Xi works part-time, three days a week, four hours each time, and only comes when it's busy.
"Mina is going home to get married and will resign next month. If you come, I won't hire anyone." The store manager said, "Don't worry about the salary. Although this is a small store, the business is pretty good. The salary is not lower than your job as an accountant."
Lin Yan thought about it, shook her head and refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but I still want to do a job related to my major."
Lin studied financial management. Actually, she didn't particularly like this major. It was just that when she was filling out her college application, no one gave her a reference. She didn't know anything either, so she just randomly picked a major that she liked. It wasn't until she entered college that she realized what she was studying.
Although she didn't like being an accountant, and the salary of an accountant who had just entered the society would not be very high, and even in the future it would not be very high, but at least there was still a little room for development. If she became a clerk in a cake shop, she would only be a clerk.
"Yeah." Lin Yan was full of confidence. She felt that her career luck had improved. After all, she hadn't even received an interview call before. Now she could reject the offer.
After leaving the cake shop, Lin Yan did not go back to school, but took a bus to another part-time job. Because there were no classes at school this semester and Lin Yan had not found a job, she found a few more part-time jobs.
The place she was going to now was a very popular escape room, on the other side of the school. Lin Yan worked as an NPC there. This job was very new and was considered a popular type of job in the part-time industry. Many college students would rather not work for free than be NPCs there. They were very competitive. Lin Yan would never work without money, so she didn't have many opportunities to work part-time here. The store manager would only call her when there was a serious shortage of people.
This is also a sign that her career luck is improving, Lin Xi thought.
"Lin Yan, you're here." The store manager was a young man in his early twenties named Tang Mingxu, only a few years older than Lin Yan. He was a nice guy, but a little effeminate. Tang Mingxu waved at Lin Yan.
"Boss, what kind of book are you opening this time?" Lin Xi walked over quickly.
"Oh, you dyed your hair?" Tang Mingxu saw the blue wig on Lin Xi's head at a glance.
"No, it's a wig." Lin Xi subconsciously covered the gauze on her head, afraid that the manager would notice that she was bald.
"It's quite interesting. This time we're opening a coffin shop copy, and we're still short of someone lying in a coffin. You know the plot, it's that after the customers solve the puzzle and open the coffin, you stand up and scare them, it's quite simple." Tang Mingxu gave a brief introduction.
"Isn't this Brother Xiang's job?" This part is a relatively important horror scene in the coffin copy, and all the people employed are regular workers.
"Your brother Xiang was too dedicated in the last copy and can't receive any guests now." Tang Mingxu said mysteriously.
"Being beaten?" Lin Yan understood immediately. Players complete the puzzle in a dark and scary environment. When the players are most nervous, you jump out of the coffin to scare people. It is not surprising that players do something under stress reaction. In addition, Brother Xiang is a bit naughty. In order to increase the horror, he sometimes deliberately gets close to the players.
"Yeah." Tang Mingxu looked helpless.
"Is the injury serious?" Lin asked.
"It's not serious. He is mainly traumatized."
"Then if you let me go, what if I get beaten too?" Lin Wei asked.
"You are a girl, the player will show mercy. When the player opens the coffin and sees a female ghost..." Tang Mingxu paused, feeling that something was wrong.
"It will only be more terrifying." Lin Xi affirmed.
"Don't just think about the bad things, think about the good things. Our NPC makes a lot of money, you know the rules here." Tang Mingxu casually took a secret room commitment letter from the front desk, pointed to a line of clauses on it and read, "If you beat up an NPC, one punch will cost you 200, and one kick will cost you 500. Just now, your brother Xiang made a full 3,000."
"Is he still alive?" Lin Xi couldn't help but ask.
"Look at what you said. Can a customer really kill you?" Tang Mingxu rolled his eyes at Lin Yan. "Didn't you just post on your Moments saying your phone was broken? I asked you to come here because I cared about you. If you're lucky, you can make it all back in one copy."
How much do you want me to be beaten? Lin Yan squinted at him.
"Don't worry about safety, I'm watching here." Tang Mingxu assured, pointing to the surveillance camera at the front desk.
"Okay." Lin Yan finally couldn't resist the temptation of money. It wasn't that she really wanted to earn a cell phone by getting beaten, but the salary of this NPC was high. With just this one session, which took at most half an hour, she could easily get 100.
As for getting beaten, she was not very worried. Brother Xiang had been working here for half a year and had only been beaten a few times. She couldn't be that unlucky.
Wait, luck? Lin Yan thought of her luck value of -99.
"Then hurry in. There is a great player in this group. He can solve the puzzles very quickly. It will be your level soon." Tang Mingxu pushed Lin Yan inside and urged the makeup artist to change her clothes.
The makeup artist held a white dress in her left hand and a red cotton jacket in her right hand: "Xiaoming, do you like the female ghost in white or the fierce ghost in red?"
"I... I don't like any of them." Lin Yan already felt a little regretful.
"You look so bad, just wear red." The makeup artist made a decision, helped Lin Yan change her clothes as quickly as possible, and pushed her into the secret room.
Open the coffin, let Lin Yan lie in it, then lock the coffin again with a dozen chains, waiting for the player to unlock it.
Until she lay in the coffin, Lin Xi didn't react at all.
"System...system?" Lin Yan shouted with a trembling voice.
"Here." System.
"Will I be beaten soon?" Do some divination first so that you can be mentally prepared.
"I don't know. The system cannot predict the host's fate." said the system.
Can’t tell fortunes? Just like a doctor can’t treat himself, a fortune teller can’t tell fortunes for himself
But... Actually, there's no need to calculate. With her luck value of -99, is there any chance of success
Lin Xi immediately decided that she would be timid when the coffin was opened and try to surrender before the other party made a move.
