Because the tickets were purchased on the spur of the moment, Lin could only buy a ticket for a flight at 1:00 p.m. The plane landed in Jinshi before 4:00 p.m., and the two of them went to the luggage storage to pick up the luggage that had returned a day earlier than them.
Assistant Tan didn’t know how she explained it to the airport, but in the end her and Chen Chu’s disappearance was explained as them not having enough time to board the plane.
When everything was done, it was already 6:30 in the evening when Lin Nan arrived home. As soon as she entered the house, she fell on the sofa at home and turned into a salted fish.
As for comfort, her home, which currently has no furniture except the sofa, cannot be compared with the sea view hotel on the Mudai River. But staying here makes her feel more comfortable and at ease.
All in all, it seemed like she had only been away from Jinshi for three days, but it felt like she had been gone for three months.
Lin wanted to stay on the sofa until tomorrow morning, but thinking of the pitiful two merit points in the system, she could only get up in tears under the pressure of life. Lin, who had not even had time to unpack her luggage, walked out while calling the owner of the escape room, Tang Mingxu, to ask if there were any players there that night.
"Boss Tang, are there any other customers who want to participate in the lottery tonight?" asked Lin Nan.
"Lin Nan? You're back." Tang Mingxu was also very surprised when he received Lin Nan's call. "Didn't you say you would be gone for four or five days?"
Lin Xi originally planned to spend two days wandering around the capital after her business trip, so she told Tang Mingxu that she would be away for four or five days.
"I came back early." Lin Xi didn't explain much.
"You want to come over?" Tang Mingxu didn't ask much, just said, "There are still two waves of customers in the evening, but it's almost seven o'clock now, why don't you come over tomorrow? Get a good sleep today."
"It's okay, I'll be there in a minute. I really want to take advantage of the situation today." The system only has two merit points now. If she sleeps a little longer, it will become one. How could she sleep?
"Okay, then come over here."
After she hung up the phone, Aunt Lin had already reached the gate of the community. She bought a pancake from a roadside pancake stand and took a taxi to the factory area. She was afraid that the subway would be too slow and she would miss the first wave of customers.
Lin was lucky. She had two groups of customers in one night, a total of 16 people, and she predicted three bad luck. One of them was predicted to have missed a step while walking up the stairs while making a phone call, and hit his knee. Lin wrote this prediction to the NPC who played the female ghost. The predictions for the other two were the same, and they were related to the secret room. The predictions showed that they were crushed by the coffin lid while playing the secret room, and suffered some superficial injuries.
When Tang Mingxu saw this trick, he was shocked. He found an excuse to postpone the game for ten minutes and took his staff into the secret room to check all the coffin boards. Sure enough, he found a loose coffin board on one of the upright coffins and carried it away on the spot.
In this way, Lin not only earned a net of 21 merit points, successfully bringing her merit points back to double digits, but also received an extra 500 yuan red envelope from Tang Mingxu.
"Lin, you are amazing. You said before that you suddenly wanted to take advantage of me, and I thought it was strange. Now I think that you sensed that something was going to happen here, so you came to save me." If Lin hadn't come tonight, and his coffin lid was pressed on the player, it would not only be a loss of money. The government now has very strict control over escape rooms, especially in terms of safety. Once a safety accident occurs, in addition to a fine, the business must be closed for rectification. For this rectification, losing money is a small matter, but the number of customers lost cannot be found again. So Tang Mingxu was grateful to Lin from the bottom of his heart.
"It's not that exaggerated, it's just a coincidence." It's not some mysterious feeling, it's just my fear of car crashes.
"Anyway, I'll remember this favor," said Tang Mingxu.
"These are all small matters, but now that this has happened, isn't it time to renovate the secret room?" Lin Nan suggested.
"Yes, I will issue a notice soon. We will suspend business for a day of maintenance tomorrow." Even if Lin Xi didn't say it, Tang Mingxu was planning to do so.
"Then I won't come tomorrow." The system has 23 merit points. If there is no rush to repair the "old man sticker", it will be enough within half a month. Lin can take it easy for now. After finishing the company's work in the next two days, she will go to the amusement park for two days to earn merit points, and the "old man sticker" can be repaired.
Thinking of this, Lin asked again: "By the way, I haven't been to the amusement park these days. Brother Dong hasn't said anything, right? If I want to go again, will it be too much trouble?"
Yang Dong was not as good as Tang Mingxu. Lin Xi was not familiar with him and they had only been together for two days.
"What's the trouble? He's eager for you to go."
"Ah?" Lin Xi looked at Tang Mingxu in confusion.
"You, don't you realize you're a treasure?" Tang Mingxu said unhappily, "You've been hiding at his door for two days. Do you know how many people have come to him to ask about you? Even his haunted house business has improved. If I were you, I would have negotiated with him and made it happen."
Lin Xi was stunned. She had thought that she would become famous after occupying the streets for a long time, but she charged for occupying the streets separately and it had nothing to do with the haunted house. She didn't expect that she could also attract traffic to the haunted house.
Lin Xi didn't ask any more questions and planned to go to the amusement park after she was done with her work.
The next day, Lin Nan went to No. 106 Chunfeng Road early in the morning. When she arrived, Chen Chu was already waiting at the door.
"Senior Chen Chu, you're here so early. You didn't have to wait too long." Lin Yin hurried over, took out the key from her bag, and opened the door.
Although No. 106 Chunfeng Road looks like a run-down two-story building, the door lock is a copper lock from more than ten years ago. The door looks broken, as if you can get in with a kick, but in fact, there is no key, and even an A-level psychic cannot get in. As the headquarters of Group 6, there is still a protective measure such as a barrier, although there are few people in the headquarters all day long.
"No." Chen Chu shook his head and waited for the girl to open the door before following her in.
As soon as Lin entered the door, she quickly turned on the power, and then a series of "beeping" sounds of home appliances starting up were heard.
"Did you turn off the power before you left?" Chen Chu asked.
"Yes, there are so many devices here and no one is here during the day. What if there is a leakage and a fire?" Lin Nan said as a matter of course.
Chen Chu nodded, thinking that girls are indeed considerate. Assistant Tan had never turned off the power before. Once when they came to winter, the air conditioner in the house was still on cold air. I don’t know if it was turned on from summer to winter.
After Lin Yan ran around to open all the windows in the house and ventilated the room, Chen Chu took out the storage props and said, "Let's go and put them in the warehouse."
Because Lin An was afraid that her bad luck would result in the loss of a huge amount of supplies, the space props for storing supplies have always been in Chen Chu's hands.
"good."
The two of them went upstairs together and walked to the innermost room on the second floor. Lin Ni took out a small copper key and opened the door. A room of about 30 square meters, ordinary and no different from the rice and flour storage room in the hotel appeared in front of Lin Ni.
This is a warehouse that stores billions of supplies? It's too simple.
Lin Yan was stunned at the door, but Chen Chuze walked in without being surprised. He walked straight to a shelf and looked at the label on it: "Put the herbs here. Let me see if there are any empty boxes."
Seeing that Chen Chudu had already started to store the medicinal materials, Lin Nan hurriedly followed him. However, the room had not been ventilated for a long time, and the air was turbid. After taking two breaths, Lin Nan began to cough unconsciously.
“Ahem!”
Chen Chu looked at her and said nothing. He just walked to the window and pushed open the tightly closed window. Then, without any movement, a gentle breeze came through the hall, pouring in from the window and pouring out from the door. In an instant, the stale air in the warehouse was replaced by a light scent of grass and wood. The dust on the shelves and the floor was also swept away, and the whole warehouse suddenly looked brand new.
What a cool ability, unlike her other abilities which are all weird.
Lin Xi's eyes were full of envy, and her bright pupils instantly became brighter than the sunlight outside the window.
"Let's put the goods into the warehouse." Chen Chu smiled and took Lin Yan to put the purchased materials into the warehouse one by one.
The warehouse of Group 6 is not big, but the storage boxes inside have certain space properties, so when they put the materials into the warehouse, they only need to record the quantity and put them into the corresponding boxes in order. The two of them sorted for more than an hour and put all the materials into the warehouse. After the storage is completed, these materials will be protected by the company's barrier, and Lin's mission is completed.
"Mission accomplished." Lin Xi happily locked the warehouse door again.
Chen Chu smiled and handed her another storage item: "This is given to you by Aquaman. He has already taken his share."
Lin Yan was stunned for a long time before she murmured in disbelief: "She really brought it out."
Lin Xi herself couldn't believe that with her luck, she actually managed to get half of the wealth in the Soul Locking Tower.
"Really." Chen Chu directly put the storage props into Lin's hands, "The energy stones here are of good quality. If you exchange them all for money, you can get at least 700 to 800 million."
"Seven...seven or eight...hundred million?" Lin Yan was so frightened that she almost couldn't breathe. Is this a number she can reach? She had achieved seven or eight small goals by accident?
"But I don't recommend you to exchange all of them for money. In the supernatural world, money is the easiest thing to get. What's most important for you now is to improve your strength. You can keep these energy stones and absorb them slowly. It won't be a problem to upgrade to B-level. If you are really short of money, you can sell some of the energy stones below the third floor." Chen Chu gave Lin Xi a serious suggestion. In his opinion, what Lin Xi lacked most was the strength to protect herself. Lin Xi's luck was too bad. Her luck could make her be sucked into the sub-space every time, but she might not be able to come out safely every time.
Take this time for example. Even if Lin Xi could leave the Soul Locking Tower with her own strength, how could she, who only has F-level supernatural powers, survive the fall from a height of 10,000 meters?
"I understand." Lin Yu reacted to Chen Chu's reminder. Although she couldn't absorb these energy stones, it would be too abnormal if she exchanged them all for money and didn't use them at all. Her ability came from the system, but the system was her biggest secret, and this must not be exposed. Although the system seemed to have the ability to shield her existence from others, if she behaved too abnormally, someone would always find out that she was abnormal.
It seems that only a small part can be sold, but it is only 700 to 800 million, so a small part should be worth several million. Lin Yan thought secretly and was already very happy.
Chen Chu finished his work after he finished the storage, but Lin An still had a report to write. Assistant Tan asked her to write a report on what happened in the material exchange meeting.
This was the first work report Lin wrote after she started working. She wrote it very carefully and spent three hours on it. She checked it repeatedly to make sure there were no typos before sending it to Assistant Tan's email.
After finishing, Lin went downstairs to make herself a cup of coffee. She actually didn’t like coffee, but she didn’t know where the company’s coffee was bought from, and it tasted mellow and not bitter at all.
While drinking coffee, Lin poured out all the energy stones in the storage space, then happily sat on the sofa on the first floor and began to count money.
Anyway, the company has a barrier and bad guys can't get in. If we don't count now, when will we count?
These are seven or eight small goals.
Lin Nan counted them one by one and sorted them into different categories according to the different properties and colors of the energy stones. Lin Nan was extremely meticulous in doing such a boring task, and she never smiled the whole time.
"A total of six hundred and fifty-three." After Lin Xi finished counting, she suddenly remembered something: Zhenzi still owed her energy stones.
Thinking of this, Lin took out Zhenzi's long hair from her inventory on the spot: "Zhenzi, where is the energy stone you picked up? Give it to me."
Zhenzi's long hair suddenly fluttered and floated behind Lin Nan. Lin Nan turned around and said, "Don't try to play dumb. You promised me yesterday that as long as I let you..."
Thinking of yesterday's accident, Lin Yan's face suddenly turned red: "Anyway, you promised to give me the energy stone."
[I'll give it to you, wait a moment. ]
Lin Xi's eyes lit up. She didn't expect Zhenzi to be so trustworthy.
Zhenzi shook her hair, then separated a strand of hair and tapped Lin's palm. Lin understood what she meant and immediately put her two hands together with the palms facing up, waiting to receive the energy stone.
With a "click", Zhenzi's long hair trembled, and a fire energy stone the size of a baby's fist fell out from inside.
"Just one piece?" Lin Xi thought that Zhenzi would not give it all to her, but one piece was too little.
[Then I'll give you another piece? ]
"What's the difference between two pieces and one piece?" Lin asked subtly.
[How many pieces do you want? ]
Lin Xi raised her eyebrows and suddenly felt something was wrong.
That's not right. When did Zhenzi become so easy to talk to? It's good enough that she gave me the energy stone when I asked her for it. She even had the patience to bargain with me? And the system said that even if it's an item with independent consciousness, it costs merit points to talk. I'm not Chen Chu. Why is she talking to me so much? She must have a plan, but what can she plan from me? In addition to liking handsome guys, Zhenzi also likes...
Energy stone!
Realizing something was wrong, Lin turned around abruptly, and sure enough, she saw that the 653 energy stones on the table behind her were neatly covered by her long black hair. And the long black hair came from under her feet, out of her sight, around her, and crawled over.
"Zhenzi!!!" He had been planning since the moment Zhenzi came out and floated behind him.
Lin Xi screamed and rushed forward, and started a stone-grabbing battle with Zhenzi's long hair. However, she only had two hands, while Zhenzi had tens of millions of hairs. Moreover, Zhenzi had her own space power, and the more than 600 energy stones were rolled up by her long hair and disappeared.
Lin Xi struggled hard with Zhenzi for a long time, but in the end she only managed to get back six energy stones.
"You..." Lin Yan's eyes turned red with anger. Her seven or eight small targets were gone just like that? Lin Yan wanted to kill someone.
"Just wait for me!" Lin Yan was so angry that she lost her mind. She ran to the front desk, took out a lighter from the drawer, and lit it with a click. "I'll give you one more chance. Spit out the energy stone for me, otherwise, I'll burn you!"
[Chen Chujun said that energy stones are used to increase superpowers, not to be exchanged for money.] Zhenzi's long hair stood up in fear when she saw the lit lighter in Lin's hand.
"Where can I go to improve my supernatural powers?"
[I am your supernatural power. If I improve, it means you improve as well.]
Lin Yan snorted, "You absorbed the energy stone to improve yourself? Didn't you use it to trade with the system?"
[Of course not.]
System: "I only charged a 20% handling fee."
Lin Yan: “…”
How dare you come out and admit it!
Lin Yu was even more angry: "System, what about the props that steal the host's things? I have a reasonable suspicion that she is a spy you sent to cheat me out of money."
She has four props in total, and Zhenzi is the best at cheating people out of money.
[How can you say that to me, 媗醗? I just want to improve my strength. 】
The system snorted and said disdainfully: "Do I need to send spies to trick you?"
Lin Yan: “…”
How come it still sounds convincing?
Suddenly, a burning sensation came from her fingertips. Lin Yan let go of her hand in pain, only to realize that the lighter was still burning.
After all this trouble, Lin Xi slowly calmed down. She quietly opened the system panel, checked Zhenzi's attributes, and found that there was indeed an extra attribute.
[Jeong-ja's long hair, level, level three. Her space travel ability has been enhanced, and she can carry people through space. She is one step closer to her goal of "there is no TV in the world that I, Jeong-ja, cannot climb onto."]
Did you really upgrade? What kind of a goal is this? Did you swallow so many energy stones just to climb the TV?
Wait, now that Zhenzi has leveled up, does that mean she can never get her energy stones back?
My money, my seven or eight small goals, and my financial freedom!
[Didn't Chen Chujun say that? Money is easiest to make in the supernatural world, and strength is what matters.]
Lin Yu said weakly, "Chen Chujun, Chen Chujun said that I could reach B level by absorbing these energy stones, but you only upgraded two levels. Apart from being able to lead people and having a stronger ability to travel through time, what's the use of it?"
If Zhenzi absorbed the energy stone and reached level B, she would not say anything and just regard it as her own ability improvement. After all, Zhenzi was right in saying that she improved her ability, which was equivalent to her own improvement. But can level 1 to level 3 and level F to level B be the same level?
[It's useful. Do you want to travel abroad? I'll take you there. No air tickets, no visas, no taxes, and there are handsome foreign men.]
"Get out!" With those seven or eight small goals, what can't she do?
Sure enough, she knew that financial freedom was not easy.
