When the three arrived at the hotel, Wu Wang was already waiting in the hotel lobby. When he saw the three people coming in, he came to greet them with a shoulder bag. When he got closer, he scanned the three people one by one, and then slowly frowned.
No curse? Did Lin Xian lie to him? Impossible, there was no need for Lin Xian to lie to him about such a thing, so the only possibility was that the curse on them was too strong to be seen.
Seven levels of curse?
"Why are you so sullen? I just poisoned you, didn't I? Don't worry, I brought it to you." The Sea King said, handing the seafood fried noodles he packed back from the food stall to the Dirty King, "The boss's specialty, seafood fried noodles, the best dish on the table."
The King of Waste did not go to take the food, but said solemnly: "Check in first, and then we'll talk about it after we get into the room."
The three of them were startled, knowing that the King of Dirty had something to say, so they stopped joking, quickly completed the check-in process, and then went to the King of Dirty's room together.
As soon as they entered the room, the King of Dirty asked directly, "Were the three of you cursed on the seventh floor?"
Chen Chu nodded: "Yes."
The King of Dirt was angrily saying, "I can't break the curse on the seventh floor. I'm sorry."
The three were stunned when they heard the King of Wu's apology, and they all understood why the King of Wu had such a serious expression just now.
"Then how do you plan to compensate us?" Neptune suddenly asked.
The King of Dirty was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Why should I pay compensation?"
"You feel sorry, right? I'll give you a chance." Neptune said hurriedly.
"Get lost!" The dirty king grabbed a nearby pillow and threw it at him. "I was just being polite, but you're taking advantage of me?"
Chen Chu couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and Lin Nan even laughed out loud, and the serious atmosphere instantly eased.
"It doesn't matter, actually. This curse of ours is just to keep it secret. As long as we don't tell anyone and keep it secret, our lives won't be in danger." The high priest cast this curse on them simply because he was afraid that they would tell anyone the secret of his desire to escape from the sub-space. As long as they didn't tell anyone, they would be fine.
"You are very optimistic." The Dirty King sat back on the sofa, his expression returning to aloofness. "Believe it or not, if I want, I can make you say it in five seconds."
Five seconds to tell me?
Lin Xi felt a chill down her spine just thinking about it: "What can we do?"
"Hypnosis." The one who answered was not the Dirty King, but the Sea King who was standing beside him. "But that's for you. It has no effect on me and Chen Chu. At our level, there are not many people with superpowers who can hypnotize us."
"So... I am the only one in danger?" Lin Xi asked with a trembling voice.
The three of them nodded in unison.
Oh my god, why is it always me who gets hurt?
"Then what should I do?" Lin asked.
"Don't let people know that you have a secret, then no one will want to hypnotize you." The King of Dirty reminded.
"Increase your strength. The higher the level of your supernatural power, the less likely you are to be hypnotized." Chen Chu also said.
She can do the first one, but raising the level of superpowers? She is not a real superpower, she is just an unlucky host bound to the system. Or is the system actually a kind of superpower?
"No!" As an existence higher than superpowers, the system would never tolerate anyone lowering its status.
"Then is there any way for me to improve my supernatural powers?" Lin Xi took the opportunity to ask.
"You can't improve your superpowers because you're not a superpower. You're just a simple cheater." said the system.
"I... I'm a cheater? You sound so awesome, is there anyone as unlucky as me?" Look at those TV shows and novels online, which cheater doesn't walk with the wind? Unlike her, she is unlucky wherever she goes, almost catching up with a certain elementary school student. No, that person is unlucky wherever he goes, but that's everyone else's bad luck, but she is her own bad luck.
"Don't blame the system. It's your own fault. What does the system have to do with you? Without the system, the grass on your grave would be one meter high." System.
Lin Xin was about to have a heart attack after being scolded. Although what the system said was right, did it have to be so venomous? I really wanted to throw something.
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Chu saw Lin's face gradually distorted, frowned slightly, and asked.
"I was thinking..." Lin Yan was still immersed in the atmosphere of not being able to fight against the poisonous tongue system. "If you meet a poisonous tongue, you can't fight him, and you can't fight him, but you still need to ask him for help, what should you do?"
As soon as Lin Xi said this, Chen Chu and Neptune's eyes turned to the person sitting on the sofa.
Why are you looking at me? I didn't say anything excessive just now. The King of Wu coughed lightly with guilt: "You have something to ask me?"
"Ah?" Lin Yan looked puzzled. "No."
"……"The Dirty King who was already planning to agree to help.
When Aquaman saw the rare look of stupidity on King Dirty's face, he laughed out loud with joy.
The Dirty King glared at him, wishing he could kill the Sea King right there and then.
"Well, it's easy to do." The Sea King gave Lin Yan some advice, "I'll teach you two tricks. First, women who act coquettishly have the best luck. This also applies to men. Men who act coquettishly also have good luck."
When Aquaman said this, he also looked at the other two men present.
Chen Chu smiled and said nothing, while the King of Wu rolled his eyes to the sky.
"Second, don't hit a smiling person. Simply put, no matter how venomous or mean the other person is, you just have to praise him with a smile, and act coquettishly when you get the chance. I guarantee that as long as the other person is a normal person with a little conscience, he won't feel comfortable enough to confront you again." Neptune taught.
But the system is not a human being, and we don’t know whether there is such a thing as conscience in the main program.
"You idiot!" The dirty king couldn't stand this kind of servile behavior.
"Why am I scared? This is emotional intelligence." Aquaman said unconvinced.
"Haha." The King of Filth.
"I won't talk to someone like you who has no emotional intelligence." The Sea King turned to Lin Yan and said with great confidence, "Next time you encounter this kind of situation, try my method and you will know whether it works or not."
Lin Yan nodded, and suddenly thought of something, and said to Chen Chu: "Senior Chen Chu, the crown, the crown, let the dirty king see it."
Before, when they were floating on the sea, Chen Chu originally wanted to break the curse, but when he got the crown, he sensed that the gems on it all had special energy. For a moment, he was unable to determine which of the dozen or so gems on the crown was the tool that could break his curse.
Each of the gems on it is extremely valuable, and may also be a prop that can unlock other high-level curses. Chen Chu didn't want to destroy them casually, so he thought about studying them slowly after returning to the mainland. If it really doesn't work, he will try them one by one.
Hearing Lin's reminder, Chen Chu hurriedly took out the crown from the storage space and handed it to the King of Wu: "I have been hit by a death curse, and it will probably break out in less than 20 hours. Can you help me check if there is any prop among these gems that can break my curse?"
"..." You were hit by the death curse, and you are so calm? !
The King of Wu dares to confront anyone face to face, except those he cannot beat. In this room, the only person he cannot beat is Chen Chu.
"Let me see." The Dirty King took the crown and examined it carefully.
"Oh, there's also the Eye of the Cursed. Wouldn't it feel stronger if I put it on?" When Lin Nan saw the King of Wu in the lobby, she had been thinking about giving him the Eye of the Cursed. Now she just remembered it.
Chen Chu then took out the Eye of Curse from the storage items and gave it to the King of Filth.
The King of Dirt took the Eye of Curse, sensed it, and said in surprise: "You didn't use the Eye of Curse in there?"
After Lin Xi entered the Soul Locking Tower, King Wu was prepared for the Eye of Curse to be used. However, the energy in the Eye of Curse in his hand was still strong. It was obvious that Lin Xi and the others had never used it, or had only used it occasionally.
"No." Lin shook her head.
It’s useless. Then how did Lin Xi get to the seventh floor?
Although the Dirty King was curious, he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he put on the Eye of Curse, mobilized his own curse power, and began to sense the gems on the crown. The more he sensed, the weirder the Dirty King's expression became. Finally, he looked at the three people in disbelief and asked, "Where did you get this crown?"
"I got it from the high priest's head. Isn't it amazing?" Aquaman boasted.
The high priest? The spirit of the boss on the seventh floor? Did they snatch it from his head? What on earth were these three doing in there?
By the way, they destroyed the Soul Locking Tower. It seems that there is nothing strange about stealing the crown.
The Dirty King: "You guys are not at a loss. This crown is a treasure."
Aquaman: "Why do you need to tell me? Tell me which one corresponds to the curse on Chen Chu."
The Dirty King pointed to a teardrop-shaped green gem on the right side of the crown and said, "This one resonates with the power of the curse on you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Chu raised his hand and picked at the crown. With a click, he picked out the gemstone, then used his fingers to crush it into powder. The moment the gemstone shattered, an invisible force surged out and naturally penetrated into Chen Chu's body. Chen Chu immediately felt his whole body relax, and nodded to everyone with a smile.
"It's unlocked."
"YES!" The three cheered.
The Dirty King looked at the crown for a moment with a nostalgic look before raising his hand to hand it back: "The remaining gems have very rich energy. If the curse matches, it can undo all the curses in the same series."
"Of course, this is the crown of the high priest. You don't know how powerful that guy is. How can his things not be powerful?" said the King of the Sea.
"Are there any gems among these that correspond to the curse on me?" Lin Nan asked.
"No." The Dirty King shook his head.
Lin Xi was a little disappointed.
Chen Chu had already guessed that if there was a reason, the King of Dirty would have directly asked for it instead of returning the crown to him. Chen Chu thought about it and raised his hand to hand the crown to Lin Yan.
Lin looked up in confusion.
"Now that the curse has been lifted, I have no use for this crown. I'll give it to you," said Chen Chu.
Give it to me? This crown is obviously very valuable, not to mention there are more than a dozen high-end items on it.
"It's not a good idea." Although Lin Xi wanted it very much, this thing sounded like a treasure and she couldn't bear to keep it all for herself.
"Take it." The system suddenly spoke.
Lin was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
"Take it and sell it to me." said the system.
Lin Xi blinked. This seemed to be the first time the system asked her for something.
Ask the price first.
"How much merit points do you plan to give? Why not just give me props? About seventeen or eighteen pieces. It's not too much, right? One gem for one prop, that's fair, right?" Lin Yan calculated the price with the clattering sound of her abacus.
If the system really agreed, she would keep the crown no matter what, and then give Chen Chu and Hai Wang a few props each. Of course, the premise is that they can use it, otherwise they can replace it with other compensation.
"In exchange, I can remove the curse on you and guarantee that no spellcaster will be able to cast a death curse on you in the future." said the system.
So awesome? Lin Xi was shamelessly moved.
Although this condition does not sound as attractive as the seventeen or eighteen items, she was just asking for those for fun. The system is so stingy that it will definitely not really give her the items. But the condition of "immunity to the killing curse" is too domineering.
"Even the high priest can't curse me to death?" Lin Xi actually had a long-term concern, that is, she had let the high priest suffer such a big loss this time, if she was accidentally swallowed into the Soul Locking Tower again one day, the high priest would definitely take her directly to the seventh floor and then curse her to death. With the guarantee of the system, she was no longer afraid of the high priest.
Although the Soul Locking Tower may not open once a year, who is to blame for her failure?
"Yes." The system said affirmatively.
Lin Xin was completely moved. She looked up at Hai Wang and was about to speak when Hai Wang said, "The props belong to Chen Chu. He gave them to you if he wanted to. I have no objection."
Aquaman also earned a lot in the Soul Locking Tower this time. There is still half of the Soul Locking Tower's energy stones in the storage items. Although the crown is precious, it is Lin Xi who contributed the most to get the crown. Aquaman has no objection to giving it to her.
"Then I'll accept it?" Lin Xi reached out and took the crown from Chen Chu's hand.
The curse was lifted, and there was nothing else to do, so they chatted for a few more minutes and then went back to their own rooms.
Lin Yan returned to her room, fell comfortably on the bed, rolled around with the crown in her arms, and then asked, "System, how can I give you the crown?"
"Put it in your inventory. I'll take it away later." said the system.
Lin opened the inventory and found that the fifth space in the inventory was lit up. The system inventory can only store props, and Lin can't put other things in it, so the number of spaces in the inventory will be unlocked according to the number of props Lin has, and the rest are all gray. The fifth space that is lit up at this time is obviously prepared for the crown.
Lin Xi put the crown on it, and the inventory flashed, and the crown was taken away by the system. At the same time, the fifth space became dim again.
When Lin Xian saw that the system had collected the crown, she immediately asked, "What about my curse? Has it been lifted?"
System: “I’ve already solved it for you.”
Lin: "When did it happen? Why don't I feel anything at all?"
System: “Because I didn’t do anything.”
Lin Yan: "You...you lied to me?"
Lin Xi jumped up on the spot in anger.
System: "I didn't lie to you. You wouldn't have been cursed to death in the first place."
Lin: “What do you mean?”
System: "Do you remember the precautions I told you when I tied you up?"
Lin Yan: “Which one?”
System: "You will die only if your merit value is reset to zero three times in a row."
She knew this, but what does this have to do with the curse? Lin Yan pondered, and then as if she had thought of something, her eyes widened a little: "You don't mean to say... unless I break this rule, I won't die?"
System: "Foolish host, you finally figured it out. As the highest existence under the laws of heaven and earth, no one can steal from me. But this is only a result. The damage and pain in the process of death will not be reduced. Moreover, if the system determines that your injuries are enough to kill you, it will automatically clear your merit points. If you happen to be unconscious for two or three days during this process, you will die because you don't replenish your merit points in time. This reminder is an extra gift, no need to thank me, because you probably can't think of it with your brain."
"!!!" Lin Xi's emotions switched back and forth between anger, excitement, and anger, just like riding a roller coaster.
This damn system not only deceived her, but also looked down on her intelligence.
Lin: "Isn't that nonsense? I've been seriously injured, how could I not be unconscious? And you've cleared my merit points. Do you expect me to take advantage of you while dragging my dying body?"
System: "At least it can prevent sudden death."
Lin Xi: "You died suddenly, no, that's called a crash! Don't try to play tricks on me, return the crown to me, or I'll never forgive you. Where's the fair trade you agreed on? You did this, where's your conscience? No, you have no conscience, aren't you afraid that the main program will be disrupted?"
System: "How about this, I'll help you repair a prop, the old man sticker, how about that?"
Lin: "I can repair the old man sticker myself. I didn't have much merit left when it was destroyed."
System: "Then I will help you repair the master's ruler."
Lin Xi: "You are kidding me. When the Master's ruler broke, the system only gave three merit points in total, wait..."
Lin felt something was wrong. According to the system's nature, the first item to be mentioned should be the Master's Ruler, because repairing it has the least merit. Why is it the second item? Confused, Lin opened the inventory and began to check the repair conditions of the Master's Ruler. As expected, she found that the repair conditions were different: [To repair the ruler, you need to pay twice the merit of the last repair. ]
Lin: "Can you cheat me a little more?"
Lin Xi's tone was calm. She had become numb to the shamelessness of the system, so numb that she almost didn't even feel angry anymore.
System: "This is normal. The longer the warranty period, the more expensive it is. In addition, the host frequently damages the props, and the props are in a bad mood."
Is Mr. Meng in a bad mood? Yes, anyone would be in a bad mood if the device was disconnected twice in a row. It seems that props can no longer be damaged easily in the future. According to the nature of the system, they will definitely become more and more expensive in the future. After a few times, I will not be able to afford to repair them.
Lin Xi gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't it just over 300 merit points? I can earn it, give me back the crown."
The system hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Next time you draw an item, I can arrange a powerful one for you."
Lin Yan: "You really can operate behind the scenes!"
Lin Xin reasonably suspected that the “Thank You for Participating” prizes that she had not won in the past were deliberately arranged by the system.
System: "Do you want it or not? Just one word. If not, I'll return the crown to you."
Has the system reached its limit? Lin Xi hesitated. She would definitely continue to draw items from the system. If she really offended the system, the guy who stole the door would definitely try to punish her. If it was a one-shot deal, she would definitely continue to bargain, but she would still have to rely on the system in the future.
Lin Xi thought for a while and said, "In addition to the props, you can also repair the Master. If you agree, then we'll have a deal."
System: “Deal!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a light flashed in the inventory, and the ruler that was broken into two was perfectly repaired and lay intact in the inventory.
So straightforward? Lin felt like she was being tricked.
