The next morning, Lin Xi was called to the factory building by Tang Mingxu.
"Auntie Lin, baby, you are my baby." As soon as Auntie Lin came in, Tang Mingxu exaggeratedly hugged Auntie Lin.
Lin Yan was so scared that she retreated out of the door: "Boss, I don't like people like you."
"You wish." Tang Mingxu gave Lin Ping 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 what Lin Nan said. He still looked at Lin Nan with a smile: "My dear, you are famous."
"What?" Lin Yan was confused.
"You're famous, famous in the escape room 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 sparkling, emitting the light of money.
"Popular? Why?" Lin Xi wondered.
"Shen Zhi, do you still remember one of the handsome guys who came to play in the escape room yesterday? You cursed him to get a fish bone stuck in his throat. I tell you, he really did get a fish bone stuck in his throat, hahahaha..." Tang Mingxu laughed in a heartbroken and gloating voice, "You cursed him yesterday, but he didn't believe it. After he left our place, he specially ordered grilled fish to try whether the curse worked. As a result... he almost died when he tried 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. Hahahaha... cough, 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 they were having dinner yesterday, and the comedy effect produced directly made our store and you, the cursed female ghost, popular. Here, let me show you the video..."
In the video, Shen Zhi was still righteously saying that feudal superstitions were unbelievable, that curses were fictitious and were a shameless marketing tactic of the store, and then he was speechless because a fish bone got stuck in his throat. 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 Ping 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 Xi in a coquettish manner.
"Thank you, boss. You are the most handsome." Lin Yan 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 a few more. Huh?" Why does it sound like something is wrong?
"I checked this morning. The two scheduled teams are not very strong and they probably won't make it through. You should stay in the dressing room and think about the curse lines." Tang Mingxu said.
"Curse words?" Lin An was puzzled.
"I've discovered that people all have 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 future curse lines can follow this route. For example, drinking water will cause choking, walking will cause stumbling, eating will cause choking, and so on. The more the players care and the more they pay attention, the easier it will be for the curse to come true." Tang Mingxu talked endlessly about his thoughts.
"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 system of occupying the vines, 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 Xi naturally wouldn't really think about the lame curse of "slurping water and stumbling when walking", that was a trick of liars, and she was a person with a cheat. However... this cheat was good in every way, except that the merit value was a bit low.
"well"
Looking at the lonely 8 merit points in the personal panel, Lin Xi couldn't help but sigh.
I had 99 merit points yesterday, but now only a fraction is left. Where did all the merit points go?
Lin began to review:
Draw "Zhenzi's Long Hair": -10 Merit Points.
Help Qi'anlian avoid bad luck: +10 Merit.
Unlock the secondary attribute of "Chaste Hair": -50 Merit Points.
Carry Chen Chu to watch TV: -40 merit points.
Today's basic system operation: -1 merit point.
Balance: 8 Merit points.
This was all thanks to Chen Chu's extraordinary appearance, which made Zhenzi very happy and she took the initiative to give him a 20% discount. Otherwise, her merit points would have been negative.
"I have to find a way to earn more merit points." After last night, Lin Xi's mentality towards earning merit points changed dramatically.
In the past, her requirements for merit points were very 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 decided that she would earn more merit points and buy more props. Just for her hidden skill of "attracting hatred", what she bought was not props, but the capital for her survival!! Who knows what bad things will happen in the future, this time Lin really knows her luck value.
Jin City, Guanghua District, in a two-story building at the former site of the government building.
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 read.
"Are these all 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-class 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-class, 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 seems that it is not very useful at present. 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 it. If they have special abilities, also sign a confidentiality agreement." In the official ability 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 the evolution is caused.
For example, we can 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 from being 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 psychic himself will only feel that his strength has simply increased, and will not feel that he has a superpower.
However, other types of superpowers, such as fire, water, and atavism to grow fish gills, are too special and can be easily discovered by ordinary people, so relevant departments need to take action to provide special training for these people, especially in terms of confidentiality.
"Okay." The assistant nodded and handed another document to An Wenbo. "Xie Xingyu asked the bureau two days ago if they still needed to recruit people, and then recommended this person."
"Jie Xingyu?!" An Wenbo frowned, took the list and looked at it carefully, "Lin Yan, chastity skills? Climb the TV!"
As the leader of the sixth group of the National Special Events Investigation Bureau's superpowers team, An Wenbo has seen countless superpowers, but this is his first time seeing a "chaste" superpower. What the hell is crawling on a TV?
"Lin, 21 years old, is a senior student majoring in financial management at Luye University. She 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 discharged after only two days in the hospital. I guess she must have woken up during the car accident, and the awakened supernatural power protected her. According to Xie Xingyu, Lin 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 wetted with a napkin.
"Lin An encountered a pervert on her way home from work. She was followed by him. In a desperate situation, she used her chastity 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 get rid of the pervert and handed him over to the local police station." Three days was enough time for the assistant to investigate the entire incident.
"You mean, this girl not only climbed into the TV by herself, but also brought Chen Chu with her?" Although the two perverts who followed her were bad, they were definitely not stupid. They certainly would 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 felt like laughing.
"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."
"Okay, then what position should be assigned to her?" The combat power of the F-level is too low, and she does not need to go on any 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's email.
At this time, Lin Xi was in the library with Song Ranran revising a paper. While they were checking for plagiarism, the cell phone beside her rang.
Lin turned her head to look and saw four large words "Interview Notice" shining brightly on the screen.
