Chapter 59: A Small-minded System



Early in the morning, after a good night's sleep, Lin woke up from her dream, got up and walked to the window, opened the curtains to let the sunlight in, pushed open the door to the balcony to let the sea breeze blow, boiled a pot of water, made a cup of coffee, leaned on the exquisite iron railing, and lazily looked at the blue sea in the distance. This moment was happiness.

until……

"Friendly reminder, you only have a little merit left." The system's voice sounded very depressing.

Lin Xi spat out the coffee she had just drunk with a "puff" sound, and her good mood for the day was gone just like that.

Can't you wait until she enjoys this pleasant morning?

Lin Xin took a look at the coffee in the cup and immediately lost the mood to drink it. She didn't like coffee in the first place, but she brewed it just because she felt that such a breakfast and such a balcony required a cup of coffee.

Putting the coffee cup on the round table on the balcony, Lin went to collect the clothes that were hung on the balcony after washing last night. She went back to her room to change and combed her hair. She looked sideways at the dazzling sunlight outside the window, and then found the sunscreen given by the hotel, squeezed a little and applied two layers on her face. Everything was ready. Just as she was about to go out, her cell phone suddenly vibrated.

Lin opened it and saw that it was Aquaman who invited everyone to have breakfast in the group: [@Everyone, are you awake? Let’s go have breakfast together? ]

Qingkong: [I'm not in Mudai River, can you not @ me?]

Aquaman: [It’s too troublesome to @ each one of them, just pretend to be there.]

Qingkong: [I need to sleep for a while, so I won’t go to eat.]

Brother, you are really cooperative.

Dirty King: [I'm already in the restaurant.]

Chu: [Just went out.]

Lin Yan then spoke: [I’ll be right there.]

Lin Xi quickly changed her shoes, took the room card, went out and walked towards the elevator.

The hotel restaurant is on the first floor. Lin handed the room card to the service staff at the door. After swiping the card, she was qualified to enter. The free breakfast provided by five-star hotels is basically a buffet, while the breakfast of five-star hotels by the sea is slightly more luxurious, with a lot more local seafood.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Chen Chu and his friends sitting at a table by the window. The reason was simple: three tall, handsome men with different temperaments sitting together were really eye-catching.

Lin didn't rush over. She just waved at them and pointed to the buffet table next to her, indicating that she would go get the food first. Then she took a plate from the cabinet and started to choose the food she liked.

After walking around, Lin finally sat down with a glass of milk and some fruit.

"You only eat this much? I get it, you're losing weight!" Aquaman asked without letting others answer, and gave his judgment very confidently.

"No, I ordered a bowl of clay pot rice noodles. It's not cooked yet and will be served later." Lin Xi suddenly wanted to eat rice noodles, so she ordered one when she saw it.

The Sea King said, "How was it? Did you sleep well last night?"

Lin nodded happily: "I can still smell the scent of the sea in the room, it's very comfortable."

Aquaman: "If you like, stay a few more days?"

Lin thought for a moment and shook her head, saying, "Let's go back first. I have to send back the things I bought for the company as soon as possible."

Hai Wang advised: "Assistant Tan is in retreat anyway, so it doesn't matter if he goes back a few days earlier or later."

Lin: "I'd rather not have it. The sooner it's stored, the sooner we can rest assured."

Carrying such a large amount of supplies, Lin Xi always felt a huge pressure, so she had to hurry back to complete the task so that she could have peace of mind.

Seeing that Lin Xi insisted, Hai Wang said nothing more and only said that he wanted to stay in Mudai River for a few more days.

"Where is the Dirty King? Do you want to go back with us? If so, I'll buy the tickets for you later." Lin Xi didn't ask Chen Chu. Chen Chu originally came on the business trip with her, so naturally he had to go back with her.

The Prince of Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "No, I will stay in the imperial capital for a few days before returning."

"Want to go home and have a look?" Aquaman said casually, picking up a chicken roll and putting it in his mouth. He just chewed it for a while, and the saltiness of the chicken roll made his scalp tingle and he questioned his life.

Oh my god, what is this?

Aquaman quickly took a tissue and spit out the stuff. Without bothering to talk, he picked up the cup on the table and drank the water. However, after taking a sip, he felt a taste even more fishy and salty than sea water. He was so disgusted that he almost vomited out the overnight meal.

"Yun Yi!" The Sea King had a dark face and grabbed the Dirty King who was sitting next to him, "Remove the curse for me right now."

Even the water tastes salty. It must be this kid's curse.

Yun Yi? It turns out that the name of the Dirty King is Yun Yi. Lin Xian looked at the two people who suddenly started fighting in confusion.

Facing the murderous gaze of the Sea King, the Dirty King had a calm expression, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and with a snap, the curse was released. The Sea King immediately loosened the collar of the Dirty King, reached out and grabbed the cup of water next to the Dirty King, and drank it in one breath. This time, he did not spit it out again.

Is it really a curse?

"Damn it! You have a bad relationship with your family, why do you take it out on others?" Although the curse was lifted, Aquaman no longer had an appetite for food.

The Dirty King gave him a cold look.

"What are you looking at? Do you want to fight?" We are all A-level, so who is afraid of who?

The Dirt King snorted, took a tissue to wipe his mouth, ignored the provocation of the Sea King, stood up and left the restaurant directly.

"What kind of person is that?" Aquaman said angrily.

"You know very well that he doesn't like others mentioning his family matters, so why do you bother him?" Chen Chu frowned and looked at Neptune, his tone full of disapproval.

Neptune groaned twice, feeling somewhat guilty, and completely lost his arrogance.

Lin asked curiously, "Does the relationship between the dirty king and his family have a bad relationship?"

She had a vague feeling about it when they were in Blizzard City before, because Yun Zhou's attitude towards the King of Dirty was very bad at that time.

The Sea King sighed and said, "The Dirty King is from the Yun family. The Yun family in the imperial capital has been wood-type mutants for generations. But in this generation, the eldest son of the legitimate family has transformed into a curser."

"Is it because of this that they reject the Dirty King?" Lin Yan's mind couldn't help but fill in a lot of bloody plots. "This can't be blamed on the Dirty King, he can't decide what his own superpowers are."

Aquaman: "That's not entirely the reason. The main reason is that the Prince of Pollution woke up at the wrong time. He woke up at the same time his brother was born."

"So what?" Lin Xi still didn't understand.

Chen Chu put down his chopsticks and continued, "The awakening of a curser is different from other supernatural powers. The awakening of a curser must be accompanied by a curse."

Aquaman: "On the day the Dirty King woke up, the Yun family's mistress died of childbirth."

Lin Yan's eyes widened suddenly, she understood something, but instinctively didn't believe it: "It's impossible, the King of Dirty would never curse... How is it possible?"

Lin Yan refused to believe it. Although the King of Dirty seemed difficult to approach, he tried every means to rescue Yun Zhou after knowing that Yun Zhou might be in danger after entering Blizzard City. How could a brother who was so good to his younger brother curse his own mother?

Aquaman spread his hands and said, "It's useless for us to believe them. No one in their family believes them."

Lin asked: "Why? They have evidence to prove that it was the curse of the King of Filth?"

Chen Chu: "When the Dirty King woke up, no one around him showed any signs of being cursed, only his mother met with misfortune."

Lin Yu said in disbelief: "Because the curser must be accompanied by a curse when he awakens, and no one was cursed by the King of Dirty when he awakened, so the death of the Yun family mistress was forcibly placed on the King of Dirty's curse? Is this okay?"

Aquaman: "Why not? Process of elimination, that makes sense."

Lin Nan opened her mouth and wanted to say something to refute the Yun family's speculation, but after thinking for a long time, she really couldn't come up with a more reasonable explanation.

Lin Xi suddenly felt a little depressed.

At this time, a waiter in a restaurant uniform came over with a hot casserole. He stopped beside Lin, looked at the yellow menu in her hand, and asked politely, "Excuse me, is this your casserole rice noodles?"

Lin Yan came back to her senses and nodded quickly: "It's mine."

"Sorry, can you show me your menu?" The waiter was afraid that he had sent the wrong order.

Lin Yan quickly let go of the menu in her hand, revealing the number inside: 36.

"It is indeed your casserole rice noodles. Please move aside and be careful not to get burned." The waiter reminded the customer and waited for him to move aside before he bent down and carefully placed the tray of casserole rice noodles on the table. At this moment, the waiter's feet suddenly slipped and he fell forward with an unstable center of gravity. The casserole in his hand hit Lin's face accurately.

Lin Xi was sunk into the chair, and it was too late for her to hide. In her horror, she could only instinctively cover her face with her arms to minimize the area of ​​disfigurement.

At this moment, Lin Xi felt something pulling her chair, and she quickly moved half a meter away with the chair. The boiling rice noodles splashed down high, and the soup splashed everywhere, the closest of which was less than a centimeter away from her feet.

[The card issued by the goddess of luck has been refreshed. 】

"How do you serve the food?!" Aquaman pointed at the waiter and questioned with a dark face.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I'm really sorry." The waiter apologized hurriedly, "Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? Do you want to see a doctor? I'll pay for the medical expenses, all of them."

Chen Chu let go of the hand holding the back of the chair, bent down to look at Lin Nan, and confirmed that Lin Nan's body was not stained with the splashing soup. Knowing that he had just taken action in time, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you okay?"

"No...it's okay." Lin Xi was still feeling scared at this moment.

At this time, the restaurant manager was also attracted by the noise and came over. As soon as he saw the situation, he knew what happened. He came up to Lin and apologized: "Ma'am, I'm really sorry. This is our negligence in our work. I will definitely deal with him seriously later. Do you think you need to go to the hospital?"

"No, I'm fine. Don't blame him, it's none of his fault." Lin Xi pleaded for the waiter.

"Ah?" The restaurant manager was stunned. He didn't blame the waiter. Could it be that the customer broke the casserole himself?

"What's none of his business? If it wasn't Chen Chu, you would have been disfigured, didn't you know that?" Hai Wang watched from the side and saw clearly that it was the waiter who lost his balance and spilled the casserole. As a waiter, this was a huge mistake at work.

"It's okay. I'm not hurt. It's not a big deal. Well, don't make it too hard on him. I'll move to the next table to eat and you can bring me a new bowl. We'll just forget about it." Lin Xi knew what was going on when she saw the system prompt. With her own sequelae, she didn't have the nerve to make things difficult for others. She just wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter.

The restaurant manager had no choice but to accept the guest's understanding. He immediately sent the guest to the next table with many thanks, wrote down Lin's room number, and said he would give her a gift as compensation.

"You are too easy to talk to. Being kind is a good thing, but it should be used at the right time. It was just us just now. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been disfigured by now." Aquaman disagreed with Lin Nan's decision. He did not think that indiscriminate kindness was a good thing.

"Another sequelae?" Chen Chu noticed that the waiter had fallen in a strange way and felt that something was wrong.

"Yeah." Lin nodded.

"What sequelae?" Aquaman looked confused.

"The hairpin of the goddess of luck." Lin explained, "The hairpin can indeed bring good luck after use, but within the next 24 hours, it will randomly bring bad luck once, and that happened just now."

Neptune opened his mouth wide and said after a long while: "Oh my god, it's a good thing that my wish yesterday didn't come true."

As soon as he said this, the gazes of the two people opposite him shot towards him, sharp as knives.

Aquaman coughed lightly, turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery outside the window.

"Are there any other sequelae?" Lin had too many sequelae. She was hit by a plane yesterday and splashed with hot soup today. I don't know if there are any more. Chen Chu wanted to have a general idea in his mind so that he could be more careful in the future.

"No more." Lin Xi shook her head.

She has always kept the sequelae of the lucky card in mind and has been mentally prepared, but the reason why bad luck is called bad luck is that it will definitely appear when you are not paying attention.

"Are you sure? You seemed to have used four props yesterday." Most of Lin Xi's sequelae came from props, and Chen Chu remembered that Lin Xi used a total of four props in this space.

"They are really gone. Not every prop has sequelae. We were hit by planes twice yesterday and two props were damaged." Lin explained.

"You were hit by a plane twice?"

Chen Chu and Hai Wang asked at the same time, their voices full of shock. Especially Hai Wang, he had no idea that Lin Xi had been hit by a plane. This was the first time he heard about it, and his eyes were full of disbelief. Although Chen Chu knew that Lin Xi had been hit by a plane, he only saw it once and didn't know that it was the second time Lin Xi had been hit.

Lin Xi nodded awkwardly.

Aquaman: "So... is the plane okay?"

Lin Yan: “…”

Asking this question, Aquaman, are you still human?

Aquaman: "Why, my concern is reasonable. You are fine, I saw that, but you crashed the plane, and there were hundreds of people on the plane."

Lin Yan suppressed her anger and said: "The plane is just a prop that causes sequelae. It left after completing its mission. What else can happen to it?"

Neptune thought for a moment and said, "The waiter just now was quite unlucky. He was inexplicably used as a tool? Although you didn't pursue it, it is a fact that he made a mistake. His superiors will definitely deal with him. It can be regarded as an unprovoked disaster."

Lin was stunned. She had never thought of this before. When Neptune reminded her of this, she immediately felt uncomfortable. It was her choice to use the hairpin, and she should bear the consequences, but she couldn't let this matter implicate others.

"System, can you think of a way to prevent the waiter from being punished?" Lin asked the system.

"Why should we avoid it? If he doesn't splash you today, he will splash someone else tomorrow." said the system.

What does it mean that if you don’t hit me today, you will hit someone else tomorrow?

Lin blinked and thought for a while: "You mean, this waiter is destined to splash soup on a customer once while working, but it just happened to me, so it happened to me?"

"Yes, so you don't have to forgive him. He would have lost his job because of this." said the system.

"So..." Lin Yan thought about the car accident that happened the first time she used the Goddess Hairpin, "It was the same thing that happened the last time the car hit me?"

"Yes, he is destined to cause death by drunk driving." System.

After hearing this, Lin Xi was completely relieved. It turned out that there were no innocent people among the participants in the bad luck arranged for her by the system. That was good.

Seeing that Lin Nan hadn't spoken for a long time, Chen Chu thought she was feeling guilty, so he said to Hai Wang, "Don't you know the owner of this hotel?"

"The person I know is the boss's daughter," Aquaman emphasized.

Chen Chu didn't care who he knew, as long as it worked: "Go and say hello, don't let them punish him too harshly."

It is impossible for the hotel not to punish such a big mistake. All they can do is to reduce the degree of punishment as much as possible. Although I feel sorry, this is the only way.

"Okay." Hai Wang agreed immediately. After all, Lin Xi had this sequelae, which was also related to him, so it was only right for him to help.

"No need." Lin looked up and said, "He is not innocent either. He will make a mistake at some point."

This mistake happened to her, which was actually a kind of good luck to the waitress. If it were someone else, the waitress would not only lose her job but also have to pay a large amount of medical expenses, so they don't need to feel sorry.

"What do you mean?" Aquaman didn't understand.

Chen Chu's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought of something, and guessed, "Are you saying that today's accident was exactly what happened in that service life just now?"

"That's right." Lin nodded.

"How do you know?" asked Aquaman.

"I got out by taking advantage of the situation." Lin Xian said.

"I almost forgot that you can take chops. Your props are so dazzling that I almost ignored your ability. But to be honest, compared with the props, your ability to take chops is pretty useless." said the King of the Sea.

Lin Yan laughed and gave Aquaman a look that said, "You mortals won't understand." Pickpocketing? Without pickpocketing, where would the props come from?

"Snap!" There was a sound.

The chair under Aquaman suddenly fell apart, and all four legs broke. It happened so suddenly and without any warning, and even with Aquaman's A-class ability, he was unable to react in time, and fell heavily on his back.

【Xie Xingyu, male, 24 years old, fell on his back because he couldn’t control his mouth. 】

Um?

Hmmmm? ?

This signature! System, you are too petty, aren't you?

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task of occupying the husks. I will reward you with one point of merit and 0 yuan for the divination."

Lin Xian, who had done nothing, immediately expressed her opinion: "System, I support you. In fact, I have disliked him for a long time."
