Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Curse
It seems that the idea of exchanging a Spiritual Power Potion for Lucky 4 is not going to work.
Zhuo Koujie’s own Spiritual Power is only 60; even if given a Spiritual Power Potion, it seems he still can’t fully recover.
Zhou Yingting pondered for a moment in his heart. The Lucky 4 entry has only been seen in the other party’s hands, and if he doesn’t agree now, it would be hard to see it again in the future.
With this in mind, Zhou Yingting raised his head and said in a deep voice.
"When exactly should we enter this dungeon?"
With his two hundred Spiritual Power, plus the Spiritual Recovery Potion, he should be able to survive this kind of dungeon.
"You agreed?"
Song Qingyun’s face lit up with joy when Zhou Yingting agreed directly.
He had recently approached many people, but once they heard it involved entering a supernatural dungeon, they all shook their heads and refused.
Everyone knows the dangers of this type of dungeon, so naturally, not many are willing to enter.
Zhou Yingting’s willingness to go in was a big surprise to him.
"Yes, since we need to enter the dungeon to find some entries anyway. Although I haven’t been to this kind of dungeon yet, it shouldn’t be that unlucky."
Agreeing to the other party, aside from having relatively strong Spiritual Power, Zhou Yingting also felt that he had a Golden Finger, which should greatly increase his chances of survival.
Song Qingyun’s face immediately beamed with delight.
"Alright, it’s settled then. We’ll go in together when the time comes!"
"We?"
Zhou Yingting was already thinking about how to survive once inside this dungeon when he suddenly heard this, and couldn’t help but pause, then subconsciously glanced toward the other party.
"Yes, the three of us have all been afflicted by this curse. His chances of survival are too low, so we’re replacing him with just one person, and we will also go in together."
Song Qingyun explained.
Zhou Yingting looked a bit confused, "Where did you guys find this curse, and three at once?"
A gentlemen’s entry, it’s indeed hard for the other party.
Song Qingyun sighed and shook his head, "Ah, I don’t know what happened. The curse suddenly appeared on a few kids, and then we conveniently transferred it to ourselves."
"Kids, if they were to enter this kind of dungeon, the moment they encounter something eerie, their Spiritual Power would plummet, and they would likely get possessed."
The curse passed onto the kids?
If that’s the case, it’s no wonder these three intervened, since there’s a gentlemen’s entry.
"Roughly when are we entering the dungeon and at what location? How do you pass the curse to me?"
Zhou Yingting glanced at Zhuo Koujie beside him and asked directly.
Zhuo Koujie stood up and confirmed with Zhou Yingting again, "Are you sure you want to accept this curse? You’re the third one, and after passing it to you, it can’t be changed."
"Pass it over!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting nodded and said directly.
Seeing Zhou Yingting confirm it, Zhuo Koujie no longer wasted time. He approached Zhou Yingting, grabbed his wrist, and then a dark spot ominously began moving and spreading toward Zhou Yingting’s hand.
"Don’t resist internally, or it will fail."
Upon witnessing this scene, Zhuo Koujie hurriedly reminded him.
Zhou Yingting remained calm, quietly watching the black spot crawl toward him, covering his wrist, forming a black cord-like rope tied around his wrist.
Zhuo Koujie sighed in relief seeing the curse passed onto Zhou Yingting.
"What about the entry?"
"As for the entry, I suggest you don’t use or take it into the dungeon for now."
Hearing Zhou Yingting ask about the entry, Song Qingyun quickly advised.
"Why?"
Zhou Yingting frowned. Could the other party be planning to renege?
"The Lucky 4 entry, though termed lucky, isn’t truly so. The number 4 sounds like ’death’. Since we’re entering a supernatural dungeon, taking this entry in will surely double the danger!"
"Even if you don’t wear it, it may attract those things, based on what I have learned."
Noticing Zhou Yingting’s apparent misunderstanding, Song Qingyun quickly clarified.
Zhou Yingting suddenly understood.
If that’s the case, using the entry after exiting the dungeon would still be timely.
"The time for the dungeon to start isn’t far off. We should stay together, and when we’re transported into the dungeon, we’ll most likely end up together, which is helpful for mutual support. What do you think?"
"Also, here’s the entry. See how you handle it."
Song Qingyun proposed while handing the entry to Zhou Yingting.
Based on Zhou Yingting’s experience in the previous dungeon, he felt Zhou had some skills.
Besides, in this kind of dungeon, it’s an asset to have mutual support.
Zhou Yingting thought for a bit, then nodded in agreement. Experiencing this type of dungeon for the first time, facing it together could be beneficial.
Seeing Zhou Yingting agreeing, Song Qingyun proceeded to detail the upcoming scenario.
Around eight tonight, they would enter the entry dungeon.
Once inside, it might not be nighttime, it could even be daytime.
It’s best to rest at a hotel until eight at night, conserving energy before entering.
If the dungeon happens to be daytime upon entry, one might struggle with fatigue otherwise.
Listening to Song Qingyun’s suggestion, Zhou Yingting had no objections.
After a brief discussion, the four of them quickly set out to find a nearby hotel and booked a room.
The four booked a suite together.
The room was big, with two beds.
Two people shared each bed, one slept on the sofa, while Zhuo Koujie stayed outside as lookout.
Having slept on the train earlier, Zhou Yingting wasn’t actually that tired.
He took out the Lucky 4 entry he traded for, and upon seeing its negative effects, his mouth twitched.
This negative effect definitely shouldn’t be taken into the dungeon.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yingting stood up and locked the entry in the room’s safe, planning to use it after exiting the dungeon, then returned to bed.
When the faint sound of an alarm clock reached him, Zhou Yingting immediately opened his eyes.
Song Qingyun and the others were already awake, with only half an hour left before entering the dungeon. Zhuo Koujie had somehow gathered a bunch of food, filling the table.
Seems he calculated the time, with everything still piping hot.
"Come, let’s eat up. Once inside the dungeon, who knows what might happen? Eating first is most important."
Seeing Zhou Yingting awake, the three urged him to join.
"Does everyone eat their fill before entering a dungeon?"
Finding it peculiar, Zhou Yingting asked while casually picking up some food.
"Yes, it’s almost an unwritten rule. Once inside, there might be a food scarcity, or one might not make it out alive. So, having a hearty meal is the norm."
Seeing Zhou Yingting wasn’t aware, Song Qingyun chuckled and explained.
