Lin Leyou had been trapped by his family his entire life. Right after graduating from high school, he was forced to start working to support them, all because he had just gained a younger brother. ...
Chapter 112 [(*^▽^*)]
Therefore, what the captain said made him think that the evil BOSS's desire to destroy the community was wrong, and that he could achieve his goal through other means.
The evil boss knew that his plan had failed completely, and in the end, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only die at their hands.
The captain roared, "Cut him down!"
Lin Leyou did not step forward, and thus, the last drop of blood was harvested by Xue Rui.
The evil boss finally died completely, collapsing to the ground with a thud as it breathed its last. Even in death, its eyes remained fixed on the captain's direction, as if to say that it would never give up.
Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally over."
He glanced at the ground instinctively. The demon boss's corpse hadn't disappeared, and no cards had fallen to the ground. He hadn't expected this demon boss to be so stingy!
"Congratulations to Lin Leyou for assisting in the defeat of the BOSS, earning 200 points!"
The captain walked over and patted them on the shoulder, "You guys are really amazing. You deserve a lot of credit for killing it this time!"
Xue Rui laughed and said, "No, that's not true. It was Brother Lin who was guiding me."
Lin Leyou said, "The captain is really capable. If it weren't for you holding the line, the two of us wouldn't stand a chance against this evil spirit."
The captain laughed heartily, and the serious expression on his face relaxed considerably. "Alright, you must all be exhausted. Go back and rest. Others will come and clean up here later."
Lin Leyou and the others were also very tired, so they didn't refuse. Xue Rui also needed to end the instance and return to the real world.
"Alright, let's head back now. Anyway, there are no evil spirits in the neighborhood anymore."
This evil boss was the last one. After it was defeated, the whole neighborhood was safe, and it was fine to not go to work for the time being.
Moreover, since the evil boss is dead, once the dungeon ends, we can return to our daily lives and naturally won't need to work anymore.
He took Xue Rui back to his home.
Xue Rui could actually leave now, but he wanted to say a few more words to Lin Leyou.
"Brother Lin?"
Lin Leyou was about to go to the bathroom to wash up and change her clothes when asked, "What's wrong?"
Xue Rui: "I'm going back."
Lin Leyou had expected this. "So fast? Do you want to sleep here again?"
Xue Rui shook his head, "No need, Brother Lin, I..."
Lin Leyou smiled and said, "It's okay, go back then. If you want to chat with me, just remember to send me a message, or come find me again. You're always welcome at my house."
He casually took two small mechanical balls out of his pocket and put them into Xue Rui's hand.
"And this, I gave you one before, and you seemed to like it. I have two more here, so I'll give you two more to play with."
Xue Rui wanted to refuse, but then he felt relieved. He figured that Lin Leyou probably thought it was just a trinket, but it was still quite important to him, since there were really too few props.
He accepted the two mechanical balls, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Lin. Well... I'll send you a message later."
Lin Leyou watched him leave his house. Not long after he closed the door, only a dozen seconds later, he found himself lying in bed, while it was still pitch black outside the window.
"Congratulations to Lin Leyou for completing the role-playing task and earning 500 points."
Huh?
yes!
I also have a role to play!
Although Xue Rui knew his NPC identity, he never really exposed himself, so it wasn't a failure of his role. The 500 points were essentially a freebie!
"Thank you to resident Lin Leyou for participating in a dungeon game and successfully completing the task. You are awarded 100 points."
kindness?
Is there a participation prize?
It feels a bit small... No, if it's just a regular participation, this reward is already pretty good. Maybe because this participation was a bit special, 100 points is even a lot.
He then rummaged through his backpack; everything was still there, and there were even more items, except for the security guard's uniform and stun gun.
Sigh... I'm so envious. Even if I could only keep one item for myself, that would be fine.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. These items are only given out when you're playing the role of a security guard inside the instance. Once the instance ends, they're definitely taken back.
But he still felt it was a bit of a pity.
The dungeon was over, and he completely relaxed. He then hugged his blanket and went back to sleep. He had just checked the time and it was only a little past 1 a.m., so he could sleep for a few more hours.
I was really exhausted from the dungeons before, why do I always encounter such unlucky things?
Lost in thought, Lin Leyou drifted off to sleep.
After waking up, Lin Leyou didn't go anywhere else. Instead, she ate breakfast early in the morning and found the gate.
Although it was still quite early, there were already a few people coming and going at the gate.
The captain's familiar figure was also standing there, and when he saw Lin Leyou, he waved to him, signaling him to come over.
Lin Leyou walked over and subconsciously said, "Captain."
After realizing what he had done, he felt a little embarrassed. He then looked at the captain, who smiled and said, "It's okay to call me that now. I really am the captain of the security team."
Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief. "That's true."
Moreover, it seems this captain still remembers what happened inside the dungeon.
Captain, "You're up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "That's about it. I just wanted to ask about the previous games. I always feel like I've had some bad luck."
The captain sighed, "It's really unlucky. These things aren't some secrets that can't be told. You're a resident of this community now, so it's okay to tell you. But when you start the game again, you'll need to be careful."
He looked around and said, "Fan Qing and Zhou Keke's husband are actually the same person."
Lin Leyou blinked. "What? You mean Wenwen and Liuliu are the same person..."
Same dad!
Captain, "That's right. Liu Rongping met Zhou Keke first. They had a child while they were dating, but unexpectedly, Liu Rongping broke up with Zhou Keke after finding out she was pregnant. He then quickly got together with Fan Qing and married Fan Qing before Zhou Keke could even react."
Lin Leyou stared in disbelief. "Really?"
He was completely speechless. What kind of operation was this?
Generally speaking, if your girlfriend is pregnant, shouldn't you get married as soon as possible? Even if you want to break up instead of getting married, it shouldn't be like this...
This Liu Rongping is something else. He did get married, but not to his girlfriend who was pregnant with his child. Instead, he had a whirlwind marriage with someone else!
The captain said, "The reason is that Zhou Keke's family looks down on her, and Zhou Keke herself also dislikes this man. But she never expected that this man would be so vengeful. After discovering that Zhou Keke was pregnant, he immediately broke up with her and then got married in a flash."
Lin Leyou, "To get revenge on Zhou Keke's family?"
Captain, "That's right. So after Zhou Keke found out that Liu Rongping and his wife and children lived in this community, she brought her child to live here, just so she could bump into Liu Rongping's family and annoy him."
Lin Leyou, "So Liu Rongping's death was...?"
Captain, "Of course it's related to Zhou Keke. Zhou Keke bribed a couple in Building 2 and spent a lot of money to help them kill Liu Rongping. In the end, they succeeded, but Zhou Keke went back on her word and refused to pay the agreed points. The couple couldn't call the police because of this. They either had to suffer in silence or take revenge on Zhou Keke in private."
Lin Leyou: "That so-called female teacher who appeared at Zhou Keke's house, could she be related to them?"
The captain nodded. "That evil spirit is the wife of that young couple. She keeps arguing with her husband. She killed someone but didn't get the money. She wants her husband to threaten Zhou Keke to get the money."
"But her husband didn't want to go, and during the argument, he accidentally killed his wife. As a result, his wife became a vengeful ghost and often caused trouble for Zhou Keke and her child Liu Liu."
"The husband who lost his wife was afraid that his crimes would be exposed, so he secretly found the leader of the evil spirits and made a deal with him to have an evil spirit put on human skin and occasionally pretend to be his wife, as long as no one would find out that his wife had not appeared for a long time."
Lin Leyou blinked. "Is this the original, normal game storyline?"
Captain: "Yes, I never expected that the game would be completely different this time because the leader of the evil spirits got out of control. Originally, the players were supposed to collect clues in the neighborhood and discover these things."
"Then kill the evil spirits one by one, find Liu Rongping who has turned into an evil spirit, find the leader of the evil spirits hiding in the community through him, and then work with the security guards to kill the leader of the evil spirits."
Lin Leyou blinked, "It really does need games like this to be exciting and fun... Before..."
He killed so many evil spirits that he almost thought he, a security guard NPC, was going to carry the whole game!
The captain patted him on the shoulder, "This time it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, the whole community might have fallen. By the time the higher-ups sent people down, it would have been too late. Everyone in the entire Happiness Community would have had to be rearranged, and we would have ceased to exist."
It really will cease to exist! If the mission fails, I will die too!
Lin Leyou felt a little scared. "So... the rent for places used as playgrounds is so cheap because of this kind of risk, right?"
Even if the risk is very small.
The captain nodded. "That's right. And this time, to reward your efforts, the higher-ups have specially waived your rent for a year. You'll receive the news soon."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a message came in on Lin Leyou's phone.
It was indeed sent to him by the Happiness Community. The message was roughly to thank him and to offer him a rent-free period, just as the team leader had said, for a year.
In other words, his lease term has now been extended to fifteen months; he previously paid 30 points for a three-month lease...
"Congratulations to resident Lin Leyou for having a homestead for more than a year, becoming an ordinary resident of the Endless World, and successfully embarking on a new journey. Please continue to maintain your good work."
