Because the tickets were purchased at the last minute, Lin Yan could only buy a ticket for 1 p.m. The plane landed in Jin City before 4 p.m., and the two went to the luggage storage to pick up the luggage that had returned a day earlier than them.
Assistant Tan didn’t know how to explain it to the airport, but in the end her and Chen Chu’s disappearance was explained as them not having enough time to board the plane.
When everything was done, it was already 6:30 in the evening when Lin Yan got home. As soon as she entered the house, she collapsed on the sofa at home, turning into a salted fish.
In terms of comfort, her home, which currently has no furniture except the sofa, cannot be compared with the sea view hotel on the Mudai River. But staying here makes her feel more comfortable and at ease.
All in all, it seemed like she had only been away from Jin City for three days, but it felt like she had been gone for three months.
Lin Yan wanted to lie on the sofa until tomorrow morning, but thinking of the pitiful two merit points in the system, she could only get up with tears in her eyes due to the pressure of life. Lin Yan, who had not even had time to unpack her luggage, walked out while calling Tang Mingxu, the owner of the secret room, to ask if there were any players there that night.
"Boss Tang, are there any other customers who want to participate in the lottery tonight?" Lin Wan asked.
"Lin Yan? You're back." Tang Mingxu was also surprised when he received Lin Yan's call. "Didn't you say you would be gone for four or five days?"
Lin Xi originally planned to spend two days wandering around the capital after her business trip, so she told Tang Mingxu that she would be away for four or five days.
"I came back early." Lin Xi didn't explain much.
"You want to come over?" Tang Mingxu didn't ask much, just said, "There are still two waves of customers tonight, but it's almost seven o'clock. Why don't you come over tomorrow? Get a good sleep today."
"It's okay, I'll go in a bit. I really want to do divination today." The system only has two merit points now. If she sleeps for a while, it will become one. How can she sleep
"Okay, then come over here."
After hanging up the phone, Lin had already walked to the gate of the community and bought a pancake from a roadside pancake stand. Then she took a taxi and headed to the factory area. She was afraid that taking the subway would be too slow and she would miss the first wave of customers.
Lin Yan was lucky. She had two groups of guests in one night, a total of 16 people, and three of them were predicted to be unlucky. One of them was predicted to miss a step while walking up the stairs while talking on the phone, and hit his knee. Lin Yan wrote this prediction to the NPC who played the female ghost. The predictions for the other two were the same, and they were related to the secret room. The divination showed that they were pressed by the coffin board while playing the secret room, and suffered some skin injuries.
When Tang Mingxu saw this divination, he was shocked. He found an excuse to postpone the game for ten minutes and took the staff into the secret room to check all the coffin boards in the secret room. Sure enough, he found a loose coffin board on one of the upright coffins and carried it away on the spot.
In this way, Lin Xi not only earned a net profit of 21 merit points, successfully bringing the merit points back to double digits, but also received an extra red envelope of 500 yuan from Tang Mingxu.
"Lin Yan, you are amazing. You said before that you suddenly wanted to tell fortunes, and I thought it was strange. Now I think that you sensed that something was going to happen to me, and you came to save me." If Lin Yan hadn't come tonight, once his coffin lid pressed down on the player, it would not only be a loss of money. The government now has very strict control over escape rooms, especially in terms of safety. Once a safety accident occurs, in addition to fines, the business must be suspended for rectification. For this rectification, losing money is a small matter, but the number of customers lost cannot be recovered. So Tang Mingxu was grateful to Lin Yan from the bottom of his heart.
"It's not that exaggerated, it's just a coincidence." What kind of mysterious connection is this? I'm just afraid of car crashes.
"Anyway, I'll remember this favor," said Tang Mingxu.
"These are all small matters, but since this has happened, shouldn't the secret room be renovated?" Lin Xi suggested.
"Yes, I will issue an announcement in a moment. We will suspend business tomorrow for a day of maintenance." Even if Lin Xi didn't say it, Tang Mingxu was planning to do so.
"Then I won't come tomorrow." The system has 23 merit points. If there is no rush to repair the "old man sticker", it will be enough for half a month. Lin Yan can take her time for now. After finishing the company's work in the next two days, she will go to the amusement park for two days to earn merit points, and the "old man sticker" can be repaired.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan asked again: "By the way, I haven't been to the amusement park these days. Brother Dong didn't say anything, right? If I still want to go, will it be too much trouble?"
Yang Dong was not as familiar as Tang Mingxu. Lin Xi was not familiar with him and they had only been together for two days.
"What trouble is there? He's eager for you to go."
"Ah?" Lin Xi looked at Tang Mingxu in confusion.
"You, don't you realize you are a treasure?" Tang Mingxu said unhappily, "You have been fortune-telling at his door for two days. Do you know how many people have come to him to ask about you? Even his haunted house business has improved. If I were you, I would have negotiated a commission with him."
Lin Xi was stunned. She had thought that she would become famous after fortune-telling for a long time, but she charged separately for fortune-telling and it had nothing to do with the haunted house. She didn't expect that she could also attract traffic to the haunted house.
Lin Xi didn't ask any more questions and planned to go to the amusement park after she was done with her work.
The next day, Lin Yan went to No. 106 Chunfeng Road early in the morning. When she arrived, Chen Chu was already waiting at the door.
"Senior Chen Chu, you're here so early. You didn't have to wait too long." Lin Yan hurried over, took out the key from her bag, and opened the door.
No. 106 Chunfeng Road looks like a run-down two-story building, and the door lock is a copper lock from more than a decade ago. The door looks shabby, as if you can get in with a kick, but in fact, without a key, even an A-level psychic cannot get in. As the headquarters of Group 6, there are still protective measures such as barriers, although there are few people in the headquarters all day long.
"No." Chen Chu shook his head and waited for the girl to open the door before following her in.
As soon as Lin Xi entered the door, she quickly turned on the power, and then a series of "beeping" sounds of home appliances starting up were heard.
"Did you turn off the power before you left?" Chen Chu asked.
"Yes, there are so many equipment here and no one is here during the day. What if there is a leakage and a fire?" Lin Xi said as a matter of course.
Chen Chu nodded, thinking that girls are indeed more attentive. Assistant Tan had never turned off the power before. Once when they came over in winter, the air conditioner in the room was still on cold air. He didn't know if it was turned on from summer to winter.
After Lin Yan ran around to open all the windows in the house and ventilated it, Chen Chu took out the storage items: "Let's go, put them in the warehouse."
Because Lin Xi was afraid that her bad luck would cause her to lose a huge amount of supplies, the space props for storing supplies have always been in Chen Chu's hands.
"good."
The two of them went upstairs together and walked to the innermost room on the second floor. Lin Yan took out a small copper key and opened the door. A room of about 30 square meters, ordinary and no different from the rice and flour storage room in the restaurant appeared in front of Lin Yan.
This is a warehouse that stores more than 1 billion worth of supplies? It's too simple.
Lin Yan was stunned at the door, while Chen Chu walked in without being surprised. He walked straight to a shelf and looked at the label on it: "Put the medicinal materials here. Let me see if there are any empty boxes."
Seeing that Chen Chu had already started storing the medicinal materials, Lin Xi hurriedly followed him. However, the room had not been ventilated for a long time and the air was turbid. After taking two breaths, Lin Xi began to cough unconsciously.
“Ahem!”
Chen Chu looked at her and said nothing. He just walked to the window and pushed open the tightly closed window. Then, without any movement, a gentle breeze came through the hall, pouring in from the window and out from the door. In an instant, the turbid air in the warehouse was replaced with a light scent of grass and wood. The dust on the shelves and the floor was also swept away, and the whole warehouse suddenly looked brand new.
What a cool ability, unlike her other abilities which are all weird.
Lin Xi's eyes were full of envy, and her bright pupils instantly became brighter than the sunlight outside the window.
"Let's put the goods into the warehouse." Chen Chu smiled and took Lin Yan to put the purchased materials into the warehouse one by one.
The warehouse of Group 6 was not big, but the storage boxes inside had certain spatial properties, so when they put the goods into the warehouse, they only needed to record the quantity and put them into the corresponding boxes in order. The two of them sorted for more than an hour and put all the materials into the warehouse. After the storage was completed, the materials were protected by the company's barrier, and Lin Yan's mission was completed.
"Mission accomplished." Lin Xi happily locked the warehouse door again.
Chen Chu smiled and handed her another storage item: "This is for you by the Sea King. He has already taken his share."
Lin Yan was stunned for a long time before she murmured in disbelief: "She really brought it out."
Lin Xi herself couldn't believe that with her luck, she actually managed to get half of the wealth of the Soul Locking Tower.
"Really." Chen Chu directly put the storage item into Lin Yan's hand. "The energy stones in here are of good quality. If you exchange them all for money, you can get at least 700 to 800 million."
"Seven... seven or eight... hundred million?" Lin Yan was so frightened that she almost couldn't breathe. Was this a number she could reach? She had achieved seven or eight small goals by accident
Take this time for example, even if Lin Xi could leave the Soul Locking Tower with her own strength, how could she, who only had F-level supernatural powers, survive the fall from a height of ten thousand meters
"I understand." Lin Yan also reacted after being reminded by Chen Chu. Although she couldn't absorb these energy stones, it would be too abnormal if she exchanged them all for money and didn't use them at all. Her ability came from the system, but the system was her biggest secret, which must not be exposed. Although the system seemed to have the ability to shield her existence from others, if she behaved too abnormally, someone would always notice something abnormal about her.
It seems that only a small part can be sold, but it's 700 to 800 million, so a small part should be worth several million. Lin Yan thought secretly and was very happy.
Chen Chu finished his work when he finished the storage, but Lin Yan still had a report to write. Assistant Tan asked her to write a report on what happened in the material exchange conference.
This was the first work report Lin Yan wrote after she started working. She wrote it very carefully and it took her three full hours to finish. She checked it repeatedly to make sure there were no typos before sending it to Assistant Tan's email.
After finishing, Lin Xi went downstairs and made herself a cup of coffee. She actually didn’t like coffee, but she didn’t know where the company’s coffee was bought from, but it tasted mellow and not bitter at all.
While drinking coffee, Lin Xi poured out all the energy stones in the storage space, then happily sat on the sofa on the first floor and began to count money.
Anyway, the company has a barrier and the bad guys can't get in. If we don't count now, when will we count
These are seven or eight small goals.
Lin Xi counted them one by one, and sorted them into different categories according to the different properties and colors of the energy stones. Lin Xi was extremely meticulous in doing such a boring task, and she never smiled the whole time.
"A total of six hundred and fifty-three." After Lin Xi finished counting, she suddenly remembered something: Sadako still owed her energy stones.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan took Sadako's long hair out of the inventory on the spot: "Sadako, where is the energy stone you picked up? Give it to me."
Sadako's long hair suddenly floated up and floated behind Lin Yan. Lin Yan turned around and said, "Don't try to play dumb. You promised me yesterday that as long as I let you..."
Thinking of yesterday's accident, Lin Yan's face suddenly turned red: "Anyway, you promised to give me the energy stone."
[I'll give it to you, wait a moment.]
Lin Xi's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that Sadako was so trustworthy.
Sadako shook her long hair, then separated a strand of hair and tapped Lin's palm. Lin understood what she meant and immediately put her two hands together with the palms facing up, waiting to receive the energy stone.
With a "click", Sadako's long hair trembled, and a fire energy stone the size of a baby's fist fell out from it.
"Just one piece?" Lin Xi thought that Sadako would not give it all to her, but one piece was too little.
[Then I'll give you another piece? ]
"What's the difference between two pieces and one piece?" Lin Xi asked subconsciously.
[How many pieces do you want?]
Lin Xi raised her eyebrows and suddenly felt something was wrong.
That's not right. When did Sadako become so easy to talk to? She was lucky enough to give me the energy stone when I asked her for it. She even had the patience to bargain with me? And the system said that even if it was an item with independent consciousness, it would cost merit points to talk. I'm not Chen Chu. Why did she talk to me so much? She must have a plan, but what could she plan from me? In addition to liking handsome guys, Sadako also likes...
Energy stone!
Realizing something was wrong, Lin Yan turned around abruptly. As expected, she saw that the 653 energy stones on the table behind her were neatly covered by long black hair. And those long black hair came from under her feet, out of her sight, around her, and crawled over.
"Sadako!!!" Everything had been planned since the moment Sadako came out and floated behind him.
Lin Xi screamed and rushed forward, and started a battle for the stones with Sadako's long hair. However, she only had two hands, while Sadako had tens of millions of hairs. In addition, Sadako had her own spatial ability, and the more than 600 energy stones were rolled up by her long hair and disappeared.
Lin Yan fought with Sadako for a long time, but she only got back six energy stones. "You..." Lin Yan's eyes turned red with anger. Her seven or eight small goals were gone just like that? Lin Yan wanted to kill someone.
"Just wait!" Lin Yan was so angry that she lost her mind. She ran to the front desk, took out a lighter from the drawer, and lit it with a click. "I'll give you one more chance. Spit out the energy stone to me, or I'll burn you!"
[Chen Chujun said that energy stones are used to enhance supernatural powers, not to exchange for money.] Sadako's long hair stood up when she saw the lit lighter in Lin's hand.
"Where can I go to improve my abilities?"
[I am your superpower. If I improve, it means you improve as well.]
Lin Yan snorted, "You absorbed the energy stone to upgrade? Didn't you use it to trade with the system?"
[of course not.]
System: "I only charged a 20% handling fee."
Lin Yan: “…”
How dare you come out and admit it!
Lin Yan became even angrier: "System, what about the props that steal the host's things? I reasonably suspect that she is a spy you sent to cheat me of money."
She has four props in total, and Sadako is the best at cheating people out of money.
[Auntie, why do you say that to me? I just want to improve my strength.]
The system snorted and said disdainfully: "Do I need to send a spy to trick you?"
Lin Yan: “…”
How come it still sounds convincing
Suddenly, a burning sensation came from her fingertips. Lin Yan let go of her hand in pain, only to realize that the lighter was still burning.
After all this trouble, Lin Xi slowly calmed down. She quietly opened the system panel, checked Sadako's attributes, and found that there was indeed an extra attribute.
[Sadako's long hair, level, level three. The ability to travel through space has been enhanced, and she can carry people through space. She is one step closer to her goal of "There is no TV in the world that I, Sadako, cannot climb onto."]
Really upgraded? And what kind of a goal is this? Did you swallow so many energy stones just to climb the TV
Wait, now that Sadako has upgraded, does that mean she can never get those energy stones back
My money, my seven or eight small goals, and my financial freedom!
[Didn't Chen Chujun say that? Money is the easiest to make in the supernatural world, and strength is what matters.]
Lin Yan said weakly: "Chen Chujun, Chen Chujun said that I could reach B level by absorbing these energy stones, but you only upgraded two levels. Apart from being able to lead people and having a stronger ability to travel through time, what's the use?"
If Sadako absorbed the energy stone and reached level B, she would not say anything and just regard it as her own improvement in ability. After all, what Sadako said was right, she improved her ability, which was equivalent to her own improvement. But can level one to level three and level F to level B be the same level
[It's useful. Do you want to travel abroad? I'll take you there. Free air tickets, visas, taxes, and handsome foreign guys.]
"Get lost!" With those seven or eight small goals, what can't she do
Sure enough, she knew that financial freedom was not easy.
