As soon as the old man in plain clothes finished speaking, the three thugs with red, orange and yellow hair colors showed resentment on their faces.
If you can't comfort others, just shut up.
They were already frightened, their legs trembling, and they were terrified to death. Now, after hearing such warm and comforting words, they were even more frightened to death.
I was afraid that I would follow in the footsteps of my companions and become a promising exhibit with only my head left.
Lin Fan glanced at it lightly, feeling a little helpless.
If the old man in plain clothes said that to you in public, he would at least be beaten up.
Fortunately, they were now in a horror scene and those thugs were frightened and dared not move, so they escaped the disaster.
In fact, when dealing with trial tasks, there is only one iron rule: don't be too kind and add unnecessary burdens to yourself.
There's also an almost unspoken rule that everyone accepts: try not to make enemies, keep a low profile, and focus on challenges...
This is because the horror scene is full of dangers and it is extremely easy to lose one's life; facing the threats from the weird alone is already extremely difficult to deal with. If you make enemies with others, you have to devote some energy to guarding against the cold knife from the dark, which can easily affect the trial and cause the mission to fail.
Therefore, people who enter the horror scene basically won’t talk much, won’t make friends or enemies, and use one word throughout the entire trial process - that is to survive!
Of course, once you encounter a rare opportunity or precious resources, whether you make enemies or not, you are bound to fall out, and there will inevitably be scramble and fighting.
Lin Fan had witnessed such scenes too many times and had personally fought for them.
After all, grabbing a few more resources and a few more strange props can make you feel more secure in the terrifying apocalypse.
There is no right or wrong in the whole process, it’s just about survival.
Now, the number of people who are taking the trial in the entire horror scene has reached the six that have been activated.
The old man in front stood up slowly, his movements were stiff as if he had a lumbar injury, and he looked like an old man, sick and weak.
But no one present dared to underestimate him.
Lin Fan, who understands the weirdness, can feel the life-chasing strength of the weird shopkeeper.
Others who didn’t understand the weirdness just saw with their own eyes the weird shopkeeper take action and cut off his companion’s head!
"That's quite discerning."
As soon as he approached, the strange shopkeeper gave the old man in plain clothes an approving look, but there were dozens of eyeballs in his eye sockets, and they kept rolling, each eyeball trying to compete for the peek, which was extremely evil and made people's scalp tingle.
Although the skull ornaments on that wall are not of high value and cannot be compared with many objects in the treasure pavilion.
But it is its masterpiece.
As soon as this person came in, he was able to point out the outstanding heads on the wall. He has a good eye.
"You have good taste, too."
After a quick glance, the other person looked normal. The old man in plain clothes showed no fear and nodded in response.
Then, he kept looking at the strange shopkeeper's bright and beautiful retro funeral clothes, secretly marveling at them.
This set looks pretty good. It saves the funeral home from making any preparations. They can just ask the designer to come here and make a sample and then produce it accordingly.
But if you want to hire a designer for this kind of crappy place, it will probably cost some money.
Just as I was daydreaming, the strange shopkeeper didn't respond and got down to business, getting to the point.
It simply bowed to all the living people present and said in a cold voice, "I am the owner of the Treasure Pavilion... Thank you all for taking on the treasure hunt."
"A treasure hunt?"
Lin Fan perked up.
Generally speaking, tasks with clear directions are easier to complete.
Whether it is collecting room fees, cleaning rooms, or obtaining fruits, the direction is extremely clear, and challengers can complete it by their own means.
Treasure hunting trials only require results, but cannot provide direction, process guidance, or even the target location, making completion exponentially more difficult.
Lin Fan had anticipated some of these.
That's why I accompanied the old man in plain clothes, adding burden and the possibility of trouble, because of this consideration.
It is very likely that in this horrific scene, there is an opportunity that belongs exclusively to the old man in plain clothes, and he does not need to intervene at all.
From the current perspective, I wonder if it was the fortune-telling of this old man in plain clothes that played a role in the subsequent treasure hunt mission.
Or maybe the strange conversation with the shopkeeper just now had helped the old man in plain clothes gain some favorability, and it worked.
We still need to continue observing the details, Lin Fan calmed himself down.
The shopkeeper in front of him spoke strangely, "Each of you has three thousand ghost notes. Exchange them for items in the dark streets in the middle of the night and hand them over to the Treasure Pavilion."
"Three thousand is considered a passing score... For those exceeding three thousand, half will be your reward for this trial..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter beside him took out a thick stack of ghost money from the wooden cabinet in a strange and respectful manner.
Then, they came to the living people one by one and distributed to each of them thirty hundred-dollar ghost banknotes, totaling three thousand yuan.
There are six people standing here. In other words, the total amount of this transaction is 18,000 ghost money!
This is an amount that would make the weird manager jealous and the weird lady welcome him.
This treasure pavilion does have some background.
You know, when the terror comes, everyone knows about it.
Once the news of the three thousand ghost money leaks out, it will definitely attract a fight. Although it is only mission funds and cannot be taken out, it is not a big deal.
This horrifying scene is very suitable for gamblers among humans, who come here to take a gamble when they are desperate.
The mission failed, but you lost your life. You can try again after 18 years.
