Chapter 21 Reality

Lin You lay on the bed and opened her eyes.

    Well, that’s right, it is indeed my own small rental house.

    Feeling a heavy weight on her body, Lin You quickly sat up. Bundles of hundred-yuan bills were piled on her quilt, reminding Lin You that everything before was not a dream. There are also three spells on the bed with a crystal bottle pressed on them. Needless to say, this is the exorcism charm and physical strength potion.

    Lin You picked up the crystal bottle containing the potion, the liquid inside was transparent, and she couldn’t see how magical it was. Unscrewing the cap of the bottle and taking a sniff. There was no smell at all, it looked similar to ordinary boiled water. Lin You was heartbroken, raised her head and drank it clean, closed her eyes and felt it. For a while, she could not notice any changes in her body, so Lin You ignored it and shoved the yellow talisman under the pillow. , sat on the bed and began to count the money with great interest.

    Once, twice, three times until her hands started to cramp, Lin You was content to put the money neatly in the suitcase that she emptied yesterday, and then she became worried.

    How can I save so much money in the bank? Lin You secretly thought that the horror game’s service was bad, and it wasn’t directly wired to the card! After complaining for a while, Lin You picked up the phone she put on the bedside, and checked the time. It was the second day after she moved.

    Lin You couldn’t be sure, whether time did not flow in the game or whether the proportion of time was different. It was too hard for her to move before she entered the game. She didn’t even watch the time before she went to bed, and naturally she didn’t know when she entered the game.

    Did she go in as soon as she fell asleep, or did she get in the game a few minutes after she fell asleep.

    But fortunately, Lin You also took into account the time and physical strength of moving, so she deliberately chose Saturday, so today is Sunday and she can rest for half a day. Only half a day, this is because it is already one o’clock in the afternoon on Sunday.

    After packing up the money, Lin You also washed up. With the money, Lin You was also generous to herself. She took out her mobile phone and rushly ordered food from a nearby hotel, asking them to bring it over. Then she began to think about herself. What should she do next?

    First of all, if you have money, then work is naturally not so necessary. It is better to quit if she has to go through such a horror game. There is no need to move, because she can travel directly into the copy. So the requirements for the accommodation environment in the real world are naturally not high. Another point is that Lin You paid half a year’s rent in one go. Even if she became rich for a while, the mind of a small citizen was still there, and she didn’t want to waste half a year’s rent.

    You can live as long as you can, and the money has to be spent like you are living on the edge!

    After thinking about it, Lin You took out her mobile phone and called her supervisor directly. Fortunately, Lin You had just passed the internship period and had not signed a labor contract with the company, so her resignation went smoothly. The supervisor also wanted to say some words of retention. It’s okay to see that Lin You’s intentions have been decided. He just said that Lin You would have to go to the company to go through the resignation procedures, and take back the personal belongings left in the company by the way.

    After chatting with the supervisor for a long time, and finally hung up the phone, Lin You’s takeout almost arrived. Lin You is a girl, so she chose a community with better security conditions. Naturally, she couldn’t afford to rent a house by herself. She just rented a small room in a house with three bedrooms and one living room. Lin’s father and Lin’s mother felt sorry for her, so she paid a little more money from her own pocket and let her rent it. The master bedroom has a separate bathroom, but it has no relationship with the other two tenants, so it can be considered clean.

    Carrying the takeaway, Lin You turned on the computer on the way, and while eating the takeaway, she grabbed the bracelet on her hand, trying to see what the reaction would be. The bracelet was not like in the dungeon. If you touch it, it will tell you the main quest. In reality, the bracelet is like an ordinary decoration. Lin You felt that it was boring and stopped. When the computer was turned on, Lin You clicked a thousand times and entered a series of

    “horror games”

    and “travel to horror games” in the search bar.

    “What should I do if I accidentally entered a horror game?” The first search for such keywords yielded a lot of horror games and rankings of horror games, while the second search yielded a few novels. Lin You took a few steps to read. She has collected all the novels that are okay, and plans to read them later. The third one was different. An interesting post appeared. Lin You clicked on it and found that there were all kinds of replies in it, which made her feel a little speechless.

    But there are a few suggestions that are worth pondering, and Lin You also wrote them down one by one.

    For example, find some popular science books about ghosts and learn about some taboos. Or exercising, really wait until you get into a horror game and can run or something. Of course, the suggestion of exercising has also been ridiculed, because some people think that ghosts fly through walls, so what’s the use of running? You can’t outrun them.

    But the layer master’s words are good, you don’t need to run past ghosts, just run faster than your companions?

    Lin You felt that this sentence won her heart. After experiencing the horror game copy, she didn’t like her companions very much. Isn’t it just a bunch of unfortunate people? A group of unlucky ghost companions, one is more unlucky than anyone else, the more unlucky  die, and the lucker survive.

    After spending ten minutes reading this post, Lin You downloaded several books on ghosts and similar stuff on Taobao, intending to learn about the family of Chinese and foreign ghosts and their various relatives. Then she opened another website to check if there was a better gym nearby, so she could sign up and learn how to run past the hopeless companions. She has to say that she is frightened by the world of the rich.

    The location of the house that Lin You rented is quite good, and there is also a high-end apartment and a private community not far away. Naturally, there are also several good fitness clubs nearby. Lin You found out that the fitness clubs also provide private services, but the annual fee is a few hundred thousand dollars a year, while the cheaper ones cost hundreds of thousands. It’s just the stuff of rich people.

    Others may sigh when they see this news, she doesn’t understand the world of the rich, but at this moment, Lin You’s eyes lit up, and she found a fitness club with good appearance and nice evaluation, so she wanted to go and have a look.

    She is rich now, so what is she afraid of?

    As soon as she said it, Lin You decided to go outside after eating the takeout and grabbing the key and wallet. It’s not enough to wait. She can’t wait. This horror game won’t wait. Who knows when the game will start?

    The fitness club has a good reputation online, and the decoration and equipment on site are also very complete. As soon as Lin You went in, she didn’t say that she would hold a private course, but just said she knew it, and she was treated very warmly. After walking around, she also read the information of a few coaches, nodded, and felt that it was not bad.

    The lady of the fitness club who took Lin You to visit said with a smile:

    “Every trainer here has rich experience.”

    “We are now offering a one-week experience course for free, you can first…”

    …

    Lin You carefully studied the origins of each trainer hanging on one wall of the fitness club. Hearing the young lady say this, she quickly said,

    “So do personal trainers also have experience courses?”

    “Personal, personal trainers?” The young lady in the clubhouse froze, and then said with a bit of embarrassment, “Well, the personal trainer’s course is only a three-course free experience.”

    “Okay, that’s it.” Lin You nodded, and she looked at her body, her  clothes are just casual clothes. It seems that she should buy special sports clothes for herself.

    The young lady looked at Lin You, but didn’t say anything. She politely called a personal trainer over at Lin You’s request.

    As soon as the coach came over, he frowned when he saw Lin You’s appearance. It’s not that he look down on Lin You, but that most young urban women like Lin You usually choose courses such as yoga, which are completely different from what he is good at.

    “Hello.” The coach who was brought over by the young lady just now was named Fang Yong. The moment he saw Lin You, he felt that he might have run away in vain. He thought that he could not make a mistake, and greeted her politely.

    Lin You nodded, looked at the exposed muscles on Fang Yong’s arm, and then pointed to the wall covered with the coach’s introduction and asked,

    “Well, are you good at sprinting?”

    Fang Yong is actually a self employed  student. Because of his professional counterpart, found a job as a fitness coach, and later the salary was decent here, so he stayed. As for the coach’s introduction above, to be honest, his qualifications are nothing.

    “Uh, I learned this when I was in school.” Fang Yong answered honestly.

    Lin You nodded, but didn’t say anything. In the end, it’s up to her to see what he can really do. It’s not interesting to ask too many questions, and it will be annoying. Follow Fang Yong to the gym inside. Fang Yong was a little embarrassed, but with the mentality that this order would not be successful, he felt a lot more calm. Estimating the physical fitness of the little girl in front of him, he first taught Lin You to do a warm-up exercise, and did not rush to touch the fitness equipment.

    Lin You followed Fang Yong step by step, and found that the coach was very careful and calm in his work. Slowly, Lin You also immersed himself in it, and then she realized that something was wrong. Her physical fitness… seems to be a lot stronger. Could this be the effect of the potion?

    Lin You was surprised, so she didn’t care about Fang Yong’s reaction. In fact, Fang Yong was also quite surprised, because he thought that this little girl looked weak and frail, but he didn’t expect her physical strength to be quite good, not to mention compared with women, if it was a man, if it is really compared, most adult men can’t compare to her.

    This surprise made Fang Yong do his best.

    In fact, it only takes more than an hour after a class. This is due to Lin You’s physical strength. Lin You introduced her experience before, and said that she didn’t exercise much, and she never went to the gym, so she didn’t expect to be so powerful. But because it was the first time, Fang Yong felt that the little girl had good physical strength and didn’t use too much force, but it was enough to guide Lin You properly.

    Lin You was hot all over. After class, she felt pretty good, and she made a decision in her heart.  The bathroom provided by the fitness club next to her was useless. She came out in a hurry today and didn’t  bring any spare clothes. Anyway, the rented house was nearby, so it would be better to go back to take a bath.

    Fang Yong followed Lin You and took her all the way to the door of the fitness club. The one standing at the door was the lady who followed Lin You at the beginning. The lady didn’t ask how Lin You was feeling, but just took a dry towel from under the front desk and handed it over

    “Wipe yourself, my clothes are all wet.”

    Lin You nodded, she didn’t sweat a lot, Fang Yong was also measured, cleaned up a little, wiped the sweat, Lin You said:

    “How much is an annual card?”

    Fang Yong: I never expected it!

    Miss Sister: Wow, little girl, you are so simple.

    When Lin You came out of the fitness club, she couldn’t help but smile. The surprised eyes of Fang Yong and Miss Sister are really interesting. Is this the happiness of rich people? It’s a pity that Lin You didn’t bring the money out today, so she agreed with them to come over tomorrow to pay the money and sign the agreement.

    After leaving the fitness club, Lin You also bought a few sets of sportswear at a nearby sports brand store. She couldn’t afford the annual fee for the fitness club, but she still had thousands of dollars to buy clothes. She used to feel distressed, but now this distress is completely gone, there is only happiness, the happiness of buying, buying, buying!

    The next day was Monday. Naturally, Lin You felt that the sooner the two million were deposited in the bank, the better. She felt very unsafe in her rental room. But before that, Lin You still called home.

    “Hey, Grapefruit, what’s the matter?” At this moment, Mama Lin had just returned home from delivering food to Lin’s father

     “Mom, um, I have something to tell you.” Lin You thought about finding it on her own. An excuse to start brewing her emotions.

    “What? It’s so mysterious, there’s not enough money?” Mother Lin sat on the sofa at home and joked. She is also very worried about her own girl living outside. She couldn’t help with anything at home, so it would be better to give some money for her to spend. Although the family’s supermarket has not been very profitable in recent years, she has the money to support her daughter.

    “No, that’s right, I won the lottery.” Lin You tried to act out the feeling of surprise that a pie fell from the sky, but was quickly beaten by her mother.

    “Oh? Five million? Give your mother some money to play cards with me.” Lin’s mother answered bluntly, not believing her own daughter’s words at all. She even won the lottery. Her daughter is not even a lottery shop. Character that knows where to drive.

    “…Really, two million.” Lin You could only bite the bullet and continue.

    “Stop dreaming… Really?” Mama Lin was about to continue, but the other end of the phone was silent, and added suspiciously.

    “Really. I passed by this week on a whim, and then I got hit.” Lin You reached out and took a coat to block the suitcase. “Two million, I’ll give you one million tomorrow and you’ll know.

    ” “…” The dizzy mother Lin didn’t know what to say.

    Lin You quickly hung up the phone while her mother was dizzy, and let out a long sigh of relief. It is estimated that her own father is still guarding their own small shop and has not returned home, and Lin You did not deliberately call her father to make up the story of her winning the lottery again. She’s still not good at this kind of lie.

    Of course, it’s impossible to really tell anyone that she entered the horror game dungeon, worked hard in it and earned points, which can be exchanged for 2 million points. Not to mention whether the horror game can be told to others, who will believe it if it is said? The most important thing is that Lin You doesn’t want her parents to worry about it every day.

    The two of them had been honest little townspeople all their lives. If they really knew that their daughter had encountered such a bizarre incident, they had to faint from shock.

    In the past, Lin You liked to call back and cry whenever she had a headache, but then she was fine after crying, and her parents couldn’t sleep all night. Later, after studying outside in college for a few years, she gradually became sensible and learned to report good news instead of bad news. Throwing the phone on the pillow, Lin You packed her clothes and went straight to the bathroom to wash up and then went to bed to get ready for bed.

    From now on, she will get up early and go to bed early to exercise!

    Of course that’s impossible. After the initial excitement passed, Lin You looked at the ceiling and thought about her experience in the dungeon. She looked at the suitcase that was covered by the coat, and began to lose sleep. After tossing herself until the early morning, holding the three yellow talismans, Lin You finally fell asleep in a daze.

    The most terrifying thing is that there is a guy in the dream who is still chasing her, shouting something like “eat it and spit it out for me!”.

    Maybe it was because the dream was too scary, or maybe there was something in her heart, and Lin You woke up naturally at 8 o’clock the next day. She didn’t stay in bed, shedressed, washed,had breakfast, and went to the nearby bank with her suitcase.

    There were not many people in the bank on Monday morning, and her turn soon arrived. After asking the bank manager to explain the reason, and asking the staff of two banks to help, Lin You was relieved that she finally managed to save money.

    Without pausing, Lin You then went to the fitness club yesterday to pay the annual fee of hundreds of thousands in one go. Well, it was indeed hundreds of thousands. Lin You felt that she didn’t need top-level services, and that hundreds of thousands of grades were enough for him. Before the lady from the fitness club brought Lin You’s card, the phone number on Lin You’s mother arrived.

    “Lin You!”

    The loud voice of her own tigress was indeed terrifying. Even if Lin You didn’t turn on the speakerphone, her ears felt a little “buzzing”.

    “What’s the matter? Mom”

    ​​The mother’s cry was soft and sweet, but it was completely useless to Mother Lin who was used to seeing Lin You’s routine.

    “You really, really won the lottery???” Mother Lin said very seriously.

    “Cough, cough, really, really.” Lin You covered the phone and answered in a low voice.

    Mother Lin was so quiet that no one knew what she was feeling when she saw the one million yuan suddenly credited to her card at noon today.

    Lin You heard that the person didn’t speak, but there were hurried footsteps, and she didn’t hang up the call

     “Papa Youzi, Papa Youzi, something happened!”

    “Huh?” With a confused face, to be honest, Lin You didn’t tell him anything about what Lin You said on the phone to her mother last night.

    “Grapefruit” said this, Mother Lin looked around vigilantly. Her own supermarket was empty and the business was deserted, but Mother Lin was relieved and said, “Grapefruit has won the lottery.”

    “?? ?” Father Lin was confused by this thoughtless sentence.

    “Give me one million to play mahjong, oh.” Mother Lin switched her phone to the text message interface and showed Dad Lin the message the bank sent her.

    “One, ten, one hundred…”

    “What are you doing!” Mother Lin looked very dissatisfied when she didn’t get a response.

    “Wait, I’ll count the zeros.” Dad Lin narrowed his eyes, the screen of Yuzi’s mobile phone was a little small, and the string of zeros made him a little dazzled.

    Lin You listened helplessly on the other end of the phone. She finally knew why her acting skills improved so quickly in the game. It turned out to be hereditary.
