Chapter 114 The Grudge!
"Oh, by the way, each of you get one of these sacs; consider it a gift from me."
Lin Yu said to the group.
"Give it to us? No, that's too expensive."
Upon hearing that Lin Yu wanted to give them the Devouring Pouch, Zheng Zha quickly refused. Lin Yu had spent countless reward points to refine the Devouring Pouch, so how could they take advantage of him for nothing?
"That's right, you have to use reward points to buy it, otherwise it's not fair to you."
Zhang Jie also said.
The others echoed this sentiment, as none of them were the type to take advantage of their teammates without a clear conscience.
"I'm just giving you the Devouring Pouches as a perk for the Central Continent Team. I'll still charge you for the other equipment. And I'm not lying to you, storage items are really easy to craft."
Lin Yu was certainly not a saint, so giving away all the equipment for free was out of the question. Besides, sometimes kindness can turn into enmity, and giving it away for free might cause trouble. So Lin Yu never intended to give it away for free in the first place.
"Since that's the case, then we'll shamelessly accept it."
Seeing that Lin Yu said the other equipment would cost money and emphasized again that storage items were easy to craft, the group didn't refuse anymore. After all, having storage items would indeed be very convenient. "By the way, Lin Yu, you said there was other equipment. What kind of equipment is it, and how much does it cost?"
Janan was curious about the other equipment. Although she had run out of reward points, she could ask first and buy it after the next horror movie.
"I have both offensive and defensive types, and you can even have them custom-made. As for the price, D-grade equipment costs 300 reward points, and C-grade equipment costs 600 reward points. I can't make higher-grade equipment for now, but I'll let you know when I can."
"Do you only want reward points and not side quests?"
"certainly."
"Isn't this way too cheap? Aren't you going to lose money?"
This isn't just Zhan Lan's question; it's everyone's question. Not only are they foregoing side quests, but they're also asking for so few reward points. Can they even afford the materials?
"No, once the technology is there, the only remaining issue is material consumption. Materials are very cheap at the main god's place, so I won't lose money."
Lin Yu explained.
From the perspective of the standards of the Main God Space, Lin Yu's pricing is naturally very low, but the cost for Lin Yu to acquire these equipment is even lower. Let alone selling them for three hundred or six hundred, even selling them for one hundred or two hundred would be a huge profit for Lin Yu.
"But research and development also costs money. It takes time to improve your weapon crafting skills, which consumes a lot of reward points. You should raise the price a bit."
Zhan Lan advised Lin Yu.
Lin Yu can craft equipment at a low price, that's his ability. No one stipulates that Lin Yu should sell it at a low price. Moreover, everyone knows that improving skills requires time, effort, talent, and various other things, which are reward points in the God Space. Since Lin Yu has put in so much effort, he deserves to reap the rewards.
Now that Lin Yu is pricing his equipment so low, Zhan Lan thinks he's only charging for the materials. So Zhan Lan hopes Lin Yu can raise the price a bit, otherwise she'll feel embarrassed to buy Lin Yu's equipment in the future.
"The R&D costs have already been factored in, so there's no need to worry. I can make a profit at this price."
Training Ma Xianhong wouldn't cost more than a few hundred reward points a year; you could easily earn that back by selling just a couple of magic items.
Seeing Lin Yu say this, Zhan Lan and the others stopped talking, but they remembered Lin Yu's contributions to the team and the help he had given them.
Ten days passed quickly, and everyone waited in the main square for the horror movie to begin.
"Enter the pillar of light within thirty seconds, target locked, Ju-on begins teleportation—"
[Looks like it's still the Curse of the Dead.]
Lin Yu stepped into the halo of light emanating from the main god, and then entered that half-asleep, half-awake state again. After an unknown amount of time, everyone came to their senses and found themselves standing in an ordinary room. Judging from the style and decoration of the room, it seemed to be a Japanese house.
After regaining their senses, the group immediately checked the difficulty level and began counting the number of newcomers on the ground. However, this count startled Zheng Zha and the others, as there were twelve newcomers lying on the ground. Adding them to the experienced members, the group had reached the maximum difficulty level of twenty people.
No one knew what the difficulty level would be like with twenty people, but last time, with only a dozen or so people, they almost got wiped out. So even with his greatly increased strength, Zheng Zha couldn't be optimistic this time.
"Ju-on! This is Ju-on, and it's Ju-on with a 20-player difficulty level!"
Zhang Jie was the first to speak. He muttered to himself, his face pale, looking terrified. He truly lived up to his reputation as a movie star.
"This is really troublesome!"
Zhan Lan was also pale, but she was genuinely frightened. After all, although she had also exchanged for enhancements, it was only the lowest level, D-grade enhancement, and she was only a support-level one. Against a terrifying ghost like Kayako, her ability to protect herself was not much different from that of an ordinary person.
"Calm down. For evil spirits, the more panicked and afraid they are, the faster they will die."
Lin Yu spoke up.
"Yes, we really can't be afraid. That's how it is in the original story too. Ju-on seems to feed on the fear in people's hearts; the more afraid we are, the stronger Ju-on becomes!"
Recalling the plot of the original work, Zhan Lan quickly said.
However, despite her words, they had little effect, and she herself remained deeply fearful.
This is quite normal. After all, it's a curse. Who wouldn't be afraid of facing such a thing? Lin Yu has the strength to back him up. If Lin Yu were a newcomer with no strength, he would still be afraid.
"Let me first explain the concept of Ju-on to you."
Seeing this, Zhan Lan sighed inwardly and stopped trying to force the issue. Fear is not something that can be suppressed simply by wanting to.
"The so-called 'Ju-on' is when a person dies full of resentment, their resentment becomes a curse. This curse usually remains in the environment where the person lived before death. Once someone enters that environment, that person will be killed by the curse. And in this horror movie—the location of the curse is this house!"
"Once you enter this house, you will be cursed. The vengeful spirits will kill the cursed person at any time, and death will be inevitable."
"You mean we're cursed, and could be attacked by vengeful spirits at any moment?"
Zheng Zha first sighed, then asked, his voice filled with helplessness.
"Why be so discouraged? Even if there are vengeful spirits attacking you, is your knife just for show?"
Looking at the dejected Zheng Zha, Lin Yu felt a sense of disappointment and frustration. It was one thing for the others to be weak and afraid, but Zheng Zha, a double-C...
He had undergone a level-up enhancement, spent a great deal of time and resources cultivating his true power, and even possessed a weapon specifically designed to counter ghosts. Yet, he was still frightened by a ghost he had never even fought before. How utterly pathetic!
Zheng Zha could only smile wryly at Lin Yu's words. If only it were that simple. This was a horror movie with a difficulty level of twenty people. That ghost would definitely be incredibly terrifying.
