The morning was not the peak time for the amusement park, so Lin went to the secret room first and took advantage of a player's bad luck before taking the subway to the amusement park.
When they arrived at the amusement park, Lin An called Tang Mingxu's friend. About fifteen minutes later, a young man with a heroic appearance and a temperament completely different from Tang Mingxu came out.
When she saw the person coming, Lin Xi's eyes lit up.
"I'm not Tang Mingxu's boyfriend." The other person seemed to know what Lin Xi's suddenly shining eyes meant, and explained quickly.
"Oh." Lin Xi immediately showed a look of regret.
"Why are girls nowadays so lesbian?" the man looked helpless.
"I'm just gossiping, sorry, please don't mind it." Lin Xi apologized quickly. Being mistaken as gay must be quite upsetting for an ordinary straight man.
"It's okay, my name is Yang Dong." The man introduced himself.
"Hello, Brother Dong, my name is Lin An." Lin An also introduced herself.
"Put on this work badge and follow me in." Yang Dong handed Lin a work badge, then said hello to the security guard at the entrance of the amusement park, and took Lin in through the side door. As they walked, Yang Dong explained the situation to Lin, "Employees in the amusement park can come in directly from the side door, but they must report to the amusement park. Since you are a part-time worker, I didn't report it. In the future, you should call me in advance as you did today, and I will pick you up."
"Thank you, it's a great trouble to you." Lin Xi thanked her repeatedly.
"It's just a small matter." Yang Dong took Lin Ping to move around the amusement park skillfully, passing by the roller coaster, the pirate ship, and then turned around the whitewater rafting and arrived at a rockery.
"This is the haunted house." Yang Dong pointed at the rockery.
Lin looked carefully and found that the rockery was not a real rockery, but a house made to look like a rock. The space was not big, only about 200 square meters. There was a dark door in front of the rockery, and on the door there was an old plaque with the words "haunted house" written in red paint. Perhaps to create a scary atmosphere, the words "haunted house" looked bloody, and with the dim environment, it exuded a sense of weirdness. Next to the door stood a sign with the ticket price written in green highlighter: 30 yuan/person.
"I never realized there was a haunted house here before." Lin Yan attended college in Jin City for four years and had naturally been to the amusement park before, but she had never realized there was such a haunted house in the amusement park.
"I only took over this place last fall, and it was just renovated at the beginning of this year. I originally wanted to make a secret room like Tang Mingxu, but there were too many requirements on the part of the amusement park, so I didn't succeed in the end, so I simply changed it into a haunted house." Yang Dong explained.
It turned out that it was just renovated this year. No wonder she didn't know about it. Lin looked inside curiously: "Is it scary?"
"Do you want to go in and experience it for yourself?" Yang Dong asked.
"No, no." Lin Xi waved her hands repeatedly.
"No charge."
"It's not about the money. I don't dare go in alone."
"You are an NPC in a secret room, and you are afraid of ghosts? If I remember correctly, there is a copy of the coffin shop in Tang Mingxu's secret room." Yang Dong looked at Lin Yan in surprise.
"There's a difference between scaring others and being scared by others." Scaring others is exciting and fun, but being scared by others brings excitement and fun to them.
"Okay." Yang Dong smiled without any hesitation, pointing to a table next to the door and said, "Tang Mingxu asked me to prepare a table for you, so I prepared this one for you. If you need anything else, I'll help you get it."
"It's OK. It's very good." Originally, she was asking others for help, so Lin Xi didn't dare to make any more requests.
"Okay, then you stay here. I'll be busy inside first. If you have anything, just come in and find me."
"Well, can I borrow your dressing room to change clothes?" Lin Nan said embarrassedly.
"Of course, I'll take you there." Yang Dong took Lin Ni to the dressing room and left to do his own thing.
The dressing room in the haunted house was much scarier than the one in the secret room. It was full of white bones, ghost masks, human internal organs and other things. Lin was scared to death in it alone. She changed her clothes as quickly as possible and ran out. After coming out, Lin took out the big-character poster she had made overnight from her schoolbag, unfolded it, and pasted it on the side of the table where she was hiding. Then she took out the prop crystal ball and her drinking cup from her schoolbag and put them on the table. The preparations were completed.
In the first half hour, Lin Nan was waiting for customers to come with great interest. However, after waiting for half an hour, no one came to take a seat. Lin Nan became a little bored and took out her mobile phone to surf the Internet.
It was unknown how much time had passed before Lin Xi heard someone reading the big-character poster she had written.
"The witch is fortune-telling. She only tells bad luck. Ten bucks per time. If you don't tell bad luck, it's free. PS, lucky people shouldn't come."
Lin looked up when she heard the voice and saw a sunny-looking boy who looked like a high school student. Lin smiled at him and continued to play with her phone.
"Hey, you don't want to do business?" The young man saw that the witch ignored him and didn't seem to want to do business at all, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Yes." Lin replied.
"Why don't you say something and let me take advantage of your opportunity?" the boy asked.
Lin pointed to the big-character poster she had posted and asked, "What did I write on it?"
"The witch is taking over the rotten vegetables."
"The second sentence."
"It's just bad luck..." The boy paused and asked, "You don't mean to say that I am unlucky, do you?"
"If you were going to be unlucky, you would be my client. I ignored you, which proves that you won't be unlucky." The young man was standing in front of her at this time. If he was going to be unlucky, the lottery box would have been shaking long ago.
"So I am a lucky man?" The boy immediately became happy when he heard it.
"At least you won't get into trouble today." Lin Xi said affirmatively.
"Your promotional text is quite interesting." The boy suddenly became interested. "You said at the beginning that you only have bad luck, and you also said that you don't need to pay if you don't get into trouble. It's obvious that you don't want to do business. After all, who is willing to spend money to get into trouble? But you wrote later that lucky people don't need to come, which makes people want to come and try. Your marketing method is very similar to the one on TikTok who sells watermelons by playing rock-paper-scissors. It looks like giving away watermelons, but in fact, you make a lot of money."
At least he was happy when he was judged to be lucky. This witch is really good at psychology.
Lin Yan didn't know how the big-character poster she wrote truthfully became a watermelon seller on TikTok. She didn't explain, but just said, "Lucky classmate, you are here to play in the haunted house, right? Hurry up and go in, it's really fun inside."
Lin Xi didn’t know whether the haunted house was fun or not, but since she had borrowed someone else’s space, she naturally had to brag about it.
"I'm waiting for my classmates..." As he said this, the boy suddenly heard someone calling his name. He turned around and saw five youthful boys and girls walking towards him, one of whom was a blond foreign boy.
"Ajie, what are you doing here? Have you bought the tickets?" As he spoke, five people came closer.
【Zhuo Lingxue, female, 17 years old, sprained her ankle due to running too fast.】
[Corey, male, 16 years old, please see the crystal ball for details. ]
Um?
What the hell is a crystal ball? Isn't system divination always fortune-telling?
"You pedantic! I'm a fortune-telling system, not a divination system." The system's cold voice was filled with an unmistakable arrogance.
But I've been using it for so long, and you've been telling fortunes all the time.
"This is the choice made by the system after considering the cultural background of the host's region. In the host's environment, the most popular way of fortune-telling is divination." said the system.
Lin Xian understood. What the system meant was that it could perform divination in any form. However, in China, when people mentioned divination, they habitually thought of fortune-telling, so the system adopted fortune-telling as a divination mode.
Then why did a crystal ball suddenly appear today?
"Because of the second fortune-telling target, the environment he is in, the most widely spread fortune-telling method is the crystal ball." System.
Didn't you say that the selection is based on the host's environment? Did you just say that and immediately contradict yourself?
"I see you really like the witch's outfit, so I'll cooperate with you." said the system.
Lin was speechless. Well, she really liked the witch's costume. It looked better and more mysterious than the Taoist robe. And more importantly, the witch costume was ready-made and could be used right away without having to spend money to buy it.
"It's so interesting. Let me try it. Sister Witch, do you think I'm unlucky today?" A lively female voice sounded above Lin Yan's head.
Lin looked up and found that six high school students had surrounded her table tightly. The one talking to her was a playful girl with short hair. She was full of energy and made people feel happy just by looking at her.
"Want to take some?" Lin asked.
"Um."
"Have you read the instructions?"
"I've seen it. It's only about bad luck. That is to say, everything you predict will be unlucky. I want to predict it." said the girl.
"What if we are being plotted against? Don't you think it's unlucky?" Lin Xi felt that some things should be said in advance, otherwise if these six boys and girls suddenly cause trouble for her, she really couldn't bear it.
"No, if you don't get bad luck from fortune telling, you can find a way to avoid it. And if you don't get bad luck from fortune telling, it means I'm lucky today. It's a good thing no matter how you think about it, how can it be unlucky?" said the girl.
"Little girl, you are very smart despite your young age." Lin Xi admired this kind of optimistic and intelligent customer who could understand the inner meaning of her big-character poster. "Come, sit down and let this witch see if you are lucky today."
The girl grinned, immediately squeezed away the curious classmates, and sat on the chair: "Ten yuan, right? Where do you want to scan it?"
“不着急,占蔔完再說,不倒黴不收錢的。”林媗把蒙在水晶球上的黑布抽開,對女生道,“來,把手放上去。”
女生依言放了上去,好奇的問:“接下來呢?”
她身後的那些同學,包括之前的那個男生也都好奇的盯着水晶球。
“告訴我你的名字。”林媗前面做的一起,全是花架子,唯一的目的就是問名字。
“張甜,弓長張,甜甜圈的甜。”女生道。
“張甜?”不是目标客戶,林媗裝模作樣的在水晶球上一頓觀察,大約五秒後,開心的對女生宣布,“恭喜你,你是一個幸運的女孩。”
張甜先是一喜,然後愣了一下問道:“這就結束了?”
“是的,你很幸運,沒有黴運,可以走了,也不用給錢。”林媗堅決貫策着不倒黴不要錢的宗旨。
“真不收錢啊?”張甜确認道。
“不收錢,不是都寫了嗎,不倒黴不要錢。”林媗解釋的都有些累了。
“真不收錢啊,那我也試試。”一個酷酷的女生把張甜拉了起來,自己坐了上去,“女巫姐姐,我也要占蔔。”
“把手放上去,告訴我你的名字。”林媗依樣又來了一遍。
“卓淩雪。”
林媗眼睛一亮,心說等的就是你,不過面上卻不顯,依舊裝模作樣的觀察了一會兒水晶球,才故弄玄虛的道:“我看到了。”
“你看到什麽了?”卓淩雪一陣緊張,她身後的那些同學也很跟着緊張起來。
“我看到你跑的很快……然後……”
“然後怎麽了?”
“崴了腳。”林媗道。
“啊?就崴腳啊。”卓淩雪一臉的失望,不只是她,她身後的那些同學也都露出一臉無聊的表情。
林媗默默的在心裏翻了個白眼,反問了一句:“崴腳不算倒黴,難道你還想自己倒個大黴,骨折什麽的?”
這種情況之前在密室的時候她也遇見過,剛開始還好,後面為了詛咒慕名而來的人越來越多,每次NPC從棺材裏出來詛咒,那些玩家總會露出一副失望的表情。一副恨不得自己倒個大黴的架勢,作死的不行。
“也不是,就是有點不夠刺激。”卓淩雪解釋道。
“對啊,還以為能占蔔到什麽特別神秘的事情呢。”張甜也道。
“十塊錢,謝謝。”林媗懶得和這些作死的少年解釋,打開收款碼,把自己的手機遞了過去。
“你這就賺了十塊錢,好輕松啊。”有人在後面說了一句,林媗也沒解釋,她早就猜到有人會覺得她騙錢,但她是憑真本事吃飯的,腰杆硬,随他們說去。
好在十塊錢也确實不多,卓淩雪也沒讨價還價,當場掃碼付了十塊錢。
“叮,恭喜宿主完成占蔔任務,獎勵一點功德值,卦金十元。”系統提示音随即響起。
卦金十元!雖然只有十塊錢,但聽起來比零元爽多了有木有。
“走吧,走吧,去鬼屋。帶Corey去見識一下我們華國的陰曹地府,亡靈世界。”有人喊着要進鬼屋。
Corey?林媗的目光精準的落在那個金發外國少年身上,出聲喊住了他們。
“這位外國朋友,不想要占蔔一下嗎?”現成的倒黴蛋,不對,是現成的功德值不能讓他跑了啊,更何況,水晶球怎麽占蔔她還沒見識過,正好奇呢。
先前的那個少年望着林媗:“幹嘛,還想在我們這裏賺錢啊?”
“錢不錢的都是小事,我看他印堂發黑,應該有一場黴運,不如占蔔一下?”林媗忽悠道。
“Corey是白人,他哪裏黑了? ”張甜忍不住道。
妹子,我剛才還誇你智慧呢,怎麽這會兒就愚昧了呢?印堂發黑,又不是皮膚發黑。
“別占蔔了,我看她就是想騙錢。”有人對之前那個少年道。
“這樣吧,我占蔔這麽久還沒有占蔔過外國友人,免費給他占蔔一回怎麽樣?”卦金什麽的本就是寫着玩的,收不收無所謂。可要是寫免費占蔔,湊熱鬧的人一定很多,林媗怕累死自己。所以想了想,還是寫了個十塊錢。
所謂有便宜不占王八蛋,在朋友的一番解釋之下,外國友人明白了林媗的意思,也表示很有興趣,主動坐到了林媗面前。
“告訴我你的名字。”林媗照例問了一遍。
“What's your name?”張甜在一邊翻譯。
林媗看了她一眼,忽然感覺到了一絲絲的鄙視。這幾個高中生不會以為她這個女巫連這種日常英語也不會吧。
“Corey¥%#¥……#”外國少年說了一長串英語單詞,林媗就只聽懂了前面那個Corey了。
林媗嗯了一聲,假裝自己聽懂了。
“女巫姐姐,你不會沒聽懂Corey的全名吧,要不要我幫你翻譯一下?”張甜在一邊笑嘻嘻的問。
“占蔔呢,不要打斷我。”林媗沒好氣的白了她一眼。
“哈哈哈……”衆人都看出了林媗的心虛,沒忍住哄笑了出來。
而此時的林媗,正聚精會神的看着一段影像,沒功夫在意幾人的哄笑。
在Corey把手放在水晶球上的瞬間,系統中的黑金簽筒陡然一變,變成了一個水晶球的模樣。水晶球在柔和的一陣白光之後,顯示出一段影像。影像中Corey正獨自一人站在馬路邊上,手裏拿着一個中國龍形狀的糖人,他似乎很喜歡那個糖人,一直不停的打量着。這時候一個胖嘟嘟的小男孩跑了過來,左腳踩在右腳上,“啪嗒”摔了一跤,手裏的皮球骨碌碌的就滾了出去。小男孩哇哇大哭,Corey見了,連忙把小孩抱了起來,然後又去馬路中間撿皮球。這時候一輛破舊的面包車開了過來,正好停在了小男孩和Corey中間,接着車門打開,兩個彪形大漢從上面沖了下來,捂住Corey的嘴,把人強行拖上了車。前後不過五秒的時間,車子就又開走了。畫面的最後,馬路上只有哭泣的小男孩,和重新滾入馬路中間的皮球,以及一根被摔的粉碎的糖人。
林媗懵了,這算怎麽回事?被綁架了?!
畫面信息很多,但林媗有點亂,這什麽破水晶球,還不如算卦呢,起碼簽文會直白的告訴她,到底發生了什麽事情。
“你看見什麽了?”衆人見林媗這一次一反常态,半天了什麽都沒說,且表情越來越凝重,也跟着緊張起來。
林媗想了想決定把影像裏看到的場景如實說出來:“我看見你站在馬路邊上,手裏拿着一個糖人,然後……你就被拖上車了,我懷疑你是被綁架了,請一定小心。”
林媗很想要幫忙,但綁架的時間地點她都沒有占蔔出來,只占蔔出這麽一個事實,也就只能告訴對方事實了。
林媗描述完,場面一下安靜下來。
“那個,其實我們可以給錢的,你不用描述的這麽誇張吧。”張甜懷疑林媗故意誇大。
“反正我占蔔完了,信不信随你們。繼續去玩鬼屋吧,別耽誤我生意。”林媗也懶得解釋,也解釋不清楚,揮揮手把幾個高中生趕走。
Corey聽不懂中文,起身之後好奇的問同伴,張甜便把林媗的占蔔翻譯了一遍,等她翻譯完,占蔔完成的提示也随之響起。
“叮,恭喜宿主完成占蔔任務,獎勵一點功德值,卦金0元。”
同時,遠遠的還傳來幾個人的讨論聲。
“占蔔是真的嗎?”
“肯定不是真的,她占蔔不是要報名字嗎,可她連Corey的全名都聽不懂。”
“先不要急,小雪不是也占蔔了,看她崴不崴腳不就知道了。要是小雪真的崴腳了,我們立刻就回去。”
林媗聽到這裏,稍稍放了些心,起碼還是有人把占蔔結果放在心上了的。林媗沒有上趕着上去和人家說,一定要注意,我的占蔔一定會靈驗的,你一定要相信我之類的話。這種事情你越緊張,人越不信。更何況她也不是救世主,能提醒已經是仁至義盡了。
林媗很快便把這件事情擱置了下來,繼續占蔔,雖然才第一天營業,但游樂場的客流量确實不是蓋的,短短一天時間,林媗就已經占蔔了30個倒黴蛋,其中一半的人因為她的占蔔成功的避免了黴運,也讓她喜提了150點功德值。再加上15個基礎功德點,一天時間,她幾乎就賺到了可以修複戒尺的功德值。
林媗激動壞了,不過卻沒有第一時間修複戒尺,保險起見,她還是想多賺一點功德值再修複戒尺,她可不想一不小心又觸發車禍機制了。
而就在林媗矜矜業業賺功德值的時候,在游樂場裏玩了一天,什麽都沒發生的少年少女們早已經把林媗的占蔔忘在了腦後。幾人從游樂場出來,意猶未盡,又計劃着一起去去逛夜市。
Corey saw the sugar figurine stall at the night market and was immediately attracted to it.
