Chapter 81: An Unlucky Day and a Desperate Question

The queue was so long that Chen Lin only managed to ride four attractions the entire afternoon.

Shihan had originally booked a restaurant for dinner, but Chen Lin wanted to go home early to rest, so they settled for one of the popular burger joints in the amusement park.

This burger place had been in business for thirty years. Despite its monopoly position inside the park, it didn’t serve terrible food. On the contrary, it was strict about ingredients. All the chicken and beef were marinated and processed in-house, not purchased as mass-produced semi-finished products. This strictness made their burgers tastier than McDonald’s.

The price might be double that of McDonald’s, but the delicious taste didn’t stop it from being a popular spot.

Chen Lin ordered a combo: the classic beef burger, fries, and a large Coke.

Yan only wanted a chicken sandwich and milk. Shihan just ordered fries and coffee.

This time, Chen Lin paid. Not because he wanted to treat Yan and Shihan, but because the waiter took his hundred-yuan bill and assumed he was paying for all three, returning only a single coin.

After all, Yan and Shihan were leaning close to Chen Lin. Anyone would think they were together, so paying separately seemed unlikely.

Chen Lin had originally planned to implement his “player plan” and pay only for himself, but his plan failed.

“Thank you, big brother, for treating me,” Yan said happily.

“No need to thank me. You’ve taken care of me so much; this is just a dinner,” Chen Lin replied. In truth, he only paid a few dozen yuan, which was nothing compared to the meals Yan brought him every day.

Even so, Chen Lin didn’t feel that way inside. He didn’t want to pay at all.

But given the atmosphere, even with his thick skin, he couldn’t bring himself to ask Yan to pay him back in public.

Shihan didn’t thank Chen Lin either, as if she didn’t care at all about the treat. The amount was too trivial for her.

After dinner, for Chen Lin, the day at the amusement park ended in torment.

He rode home in Shihan’s car and flopped onto the sofa, exhausted.

It wasn’t that the park activities were tiring. It was the lack of sleep from the previous night that made him so tired.

He planned to shower and go to bed, but after the shower, he felt a bit more awake and didn’t want to sleep immediately.

Since that was the case, he decided to do something meaningful before bed.

He opened his old tablet and tapped on the icon of a Q&A app.

This app was a high-quality Q&A community and original content platform on the Chinese internet. Every day, many questions were asked and answered.

In some popular questions, you could find high-quality answers.

Without thinking, Chen Lin chose to post a question anonymously. After all, on the internet, no one knew who he was.

Title: [Has anyone encountered a demon? What to do if cursed? Urgent!!!]

He treated this question as a lawless space, a place to vent.

Maybe he held onto a sliver of hope that since demons existed in this world, he couldn’t be the only unlucky person.

Perhaps he could find others with similar experiences through the internet’s reach.

Meeting similarly unfortunate people, at the very least they could comfort each other and share advice. If he got lucky and met some expert, his problem would be solved.

Of course, he didn’t dare to hope too much. The higher the expectation, the harder the fall.

Reality had already played many jokes on him. Even a worse joke wouldn’t surprise him.

After filling in the title, he needed to write the content. He briefly described his situation.

He only said he was being pestered by a scary girl. For safety, he didn’t mention Yan or Shihan’s names, nor did he describe them in detail, just said they were very cute.

Simply put, he now had a “Right Hand of Love”. Any member of the opposite s*x who touched his right hand would seem to become wildly infatuated with him.

He was panicking, not knowing when the curse would disappear, not knowing what to do.

After writing, he checked for typos and clicked the confirm button.

The program registered his command and instantly generated the question.

Chen Lin felt a bit excited. He wondered if there were other unlucky people like him in this world.

Though it was a mean thought, he hoped there were.

His drowsiness vanished. He kept refreshing the page, hoping to see an answer he wanted.

About three minutes later, he finally refreshed and saw the first response.

He looked at it excitedly but frowned.

[To be honest, people like you, little (big) cute (dumb-ass), are rare these days. Are you delusional? This is a serious Q&A community, not a place for fishing like you.]

The responder was a high-level user who openly mocked Chen Lin.

Chen Lin was a bit angry at being called “little (big) cute (dumb-ass)”, but considering this was a surreal situation, it was understandable that the general public wouldn’t get it.

If it were his past self, without personal experience, he would have thought it was a prank too.

Calming down, he waited ten minutes and refreshed again.

This time, there were seven new answers. He was overjoyed. Despite the earlier setback, he couldn’t give up.

Seven new answers. There was a chance one of them was what he was looking for.

First answer:

[Dear patient, I am Doctor Wang. Your curse can be treated in our hospital. Address: xxxx. Please come to our hospital next Wednesday at 9 AM. Professional doctors and nurses will receive you. If the curse is not severe, after three courses of treatment, you can be discharged.]

Chen Lin’s heart skipped a beat. To confirm if it was a joke, he searched the address on a map.

The result showed: “China 19th Mental Asylum Rehabilitation Center”.
