Chapter 26: The Miserable Contest (Please Read! ! !)
After hearing Zhou Yuan's words, the investigators looked at each other and then all shook their heads.

"Not a single one that meets the requirements?" Zhou Yuan was surprised.

"Not really."

Chen Guangxi said in a melancholy tone: "We are all more miserable than each other, and we have more negative energy than each other."

The investigators nodded, and one by one, they spoke out the tragic tragedy they were carrying:
"My parents died in a man-made anomaly, and I joined the Mobile Task Force to avenge them."

"My brother was killed in front of me, and I must avenge him."

"My daughter was kidnapped by a church and used as a sacrifice. I will not be a human being if I don't take revenge!"

"My whole family died in the abnormal incident caused by the Land of Truth."

"..."

Zhou Yuan opened his mouth, then looked at Chen Guangxi with despair: "What about you?"

"My brother killed our parents, my other sister killed my brother, I was forced to kill my sister, and finally I had to destroy the storybook... In short, all my family members died, my hometown was gone, and I was left alone."

Zhou Yuan was stunned. How did it suddenly become a competition of misery?
"What about you?" Chen Guangxi asked back.

"My parents have been abusing me since I was a child. Once, they almost beat me to death."

"Hmm...it seems like you're not as miserable as us, how about you go ahead?"

"..."

Zhou Yuan hesitated to speak, thinking, I have always thought that I had a very miserable life, but compared with you, it is a world of difference. After all, my gambling parents left me a house in Xinhu...

"I can do it, but you have to provide some help," Zhou Yuan said.

"Just ask."

"Give me as many unused talismans, crosses, etc. as you can...uh, you are a dragon, can you give me some dragon scales, mane, etc." Zhou Yuan felt that anything related to dragons must be very valuable.

"Okay." Chen Guangxi readily took out two pieces of golden dragon scales.

[Name: Golden Dragon Treasure Scale]

[Quality: Rare]

[Special Effect: The scales of the mythical creature Golden Dragon are extremely hard and can be used for forging, alchemy, medicine, mystical rituals, etc.]

【Note: Sister Long is a dragon, don’t mess with her! 】

[Price: 800 Star Coins]

How many? !
Zhou Yuan was shocked.

800 a piece?!
He suppressed his inner shock and ecstasy: "Can you give me some more?"

"These are the only two I have."

Chen Guangxi spread his hands, "These two pieces are already worth six million, don't be too greedy, buddy."

"Shouldn't this thing be about the same size as your hair and nails?"

“It’s different. This is a precious scale, which is more precious than ordinary scales. It can be called... the ultimate nail cap.

It takes me a month to refine one piece. Do you know how many warlocks and blacksmiths beg me for it every day? "

"Then let's try some ordinary scales." Zhou Yuan could only settle for the second best.

"Okay." Chen Guangxi took out another ten pieces of golden scales.

[Name: Golden Dragon Scale]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Special Effect: The scales of the mythical creature Golden Dragon are extremely hard and can be used for forging, alchemy, medicine, mystical rituals, etc., but the effect is far inferior to the precious scales. ]

[Price: 300 Star Coins]

The saying that a dragon is full of treasures is indeed true!

Zhou Yuan licked his lips. He was determined to make Chen Guangxi his friend!
You can just pick some scales, dragon blood, mane, etc. when you have nothing to do. Why would you worry about not having enough star coins?
Afterwards, he took the talismans and crosses handed over by the investigators. These were props that had been blessed and had something supernatural about them, so they could be sold.

There are ten talismans and only two crosses, and both items are priced at 100 star coins.

Zhou Yuan put the things into his backpack, then opened the game store, filtered by keywords, and quickly found the props that met his requirements.

[Name: Mind Calming Potion]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Special Effect: After drinking, the person loses emotional ability and enters a calm state, which lasts for 1 hour.]

[Note: When you feel your teammates are bad, drink this to effectively protect your screen, mouse, and keyboard from unnecessary damage.]

[Price: 300 Star Coins. ]

Zhou Yuan sold 3 talismans and bought this bottle of potion.

But he still felt it was not safe enough, so he found another prop.

[Name: Illusionary Awakening Talisman]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Special effect: Wearing the amulet can keep you awake in illusions and dreams.]

【Note: Remember to take it off when you sleep. 】

[Price: 2000 Star Coins]

This time, Zhou Yuan sold 6 dragon scales and 2 talismans and collected 2000 star coins.

everything's ready.

Zhou Yuan let out a breath and walked towards the Ferris wheel.

The high school student who had gotten off the Ferris wheel earlier had been standing there until Zhou Yuan came over. He then took action, turned around, opened the door of the Ferris wheel cabin, sat in, and waved to Zhou Yuan.

The good ghosts are here to help us. With them around, our chances of passing the level are higher... Zhou Yuan followed suit and sat in.

The hatch closed and the glass was gradually covered with a thin layer of mist, becoming blurry.

Zhou Yuan immediately equipped himself with the "Illusion Awakening Talisman" and then took out the mind-calming potion and drank it all.

The next second, he felt an unprecedented calmness. All emotions disappeared, and his heart was like a thousand-year-old well, deep and quiet, without a single ripple or disturbance, extremely peaceful.

At this moment, the handsome high school student opposite smiled at him. His smile was as warm as the sunshine, as if it could melt the snow.

"No wonder you can be a popular star, but unfortunately, you can't beat me in terms of beauty." Zhou Yuan thought.

Then, he put aside all distractions, calmed down, and waited for the test of his soul to come.

The Ferris wheel turned slowly, and when Zhou Yuan's cabin reached the highest point, the air in front of him suddenly twisted and the scene around him changed rapidly.

When Zhou Yuan came to his senses, he was already home.

My vision became shorter... Zhou Yuan quickly ran into the bathroom to look in the mirror and discovered that he had become smaller, back to the time when he was about eight or nine years old.

Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door, as if someone was violently breaking it.

Zhou Yuan was shocked, he remembered!
This day was the closest he had ever been to death!
On this day, his parents lost a lot of money playing cards outside, and when they got home they beat him up and sent him to the ICU, where he almost died.

"The Ferris wheel will replay the things that the riders fear the most. If I am consumed by fear and helplessness, I will die on the spot just like Jiang Wuming..."

Zhou Yuan admitted that this was the thing he feared most in his heart. Until now, he still had nightmares, in which he dreamed that the man or the woman had a hideous face and was strangling his neck tightly, cursing him with vicious words, trying to strangle him to death.

If he had not drunk the potion and worn the amulet, he would have been trapped in a hallucination and overwhelmed by fear.

"Fuck it, Zhou Yuan, open the door for me, are you dead?!"

There was a rough roar from outside the door, and the knocking on the door became louder.

Zhou Yuan walked to the kitchen expressionlessly and picked up a kitchen knife.
