Chapter 118 [(*^▽^*)]

Lin Leyou did not rush to make a decision, but instead returned to the Endless World when he lay down that night.

He doesn't have enough money right now. Although he can exchange points for money, he doesn't want to use his points to exchange for money unless absolutely necessary.

Points can be exchanged for money, but money cannot be exchanged for points. In the Endless World, points are the foundation for survival, and you can't just spend them carelessly.

Back in the Endless World, this time I was lucky enough to get five hours.

It wasn't dark when he lay down, and five hours later it was only about 11 p.m., so he could go back to sleep as soon as he lay down.

The next morning, Lin Leyou sent a message to Lin Wanyi, inquiring about teaching physical skills.

Lin Wanyi was probably busy and didn't reply immediately, but rather around noon. She replied, "You want to improve your physical skills?"

Lin Leyou: "That's right, do you have any good places to recommend?"

Lin Wanyi thought for a moment while holding her phone, then sent him an address. "Go here. I know all the coaches here; they're excellent. The only downside is that they're quite expensive. Let's talk about it again when you've saved up some money."

Lin Leyou's lips twitched. "Is it enough if we succeed in this Werewolf game?"

Lin Wanyi: "Yes, yes, that will be more than enough. If you're really capable, you might even be able to buy a house right away!"

Lin Leyou: "Thank you for your kind words."

Lin Wanyi: "No problem, no problem."

Lin Leyou took out a pen and paper and wrote down the address, planning to go and check it out after returning from this game.

Three days is neither a long nor a short time, and Lin Leyou soon received a message from Lin Wanyi.

"Tomorrow at 8 a.m., wait at the entrance of the community. Someone will come to pick you up. Remember, once you get there, do not trust anyone. While completing the mission, kill as many people as possible."

Lin Leyou: "Understood!"

Just in case, Lin Leyou activated all ten mechanical spiders and put them in his backpack for later use. He had a feeling that he would definitely need them in this game.

The night went by exceptionally fast. At eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Leyou appeared at the gate of the residential area on time. The security captain secretly watched him from behind, and only looked away after seeing him get into a car.

Lin Leyou didn't pay attention to the security captain. After getting into the car, he first looked at the driver in front. He had a blank expression and lifeless eyes. He was driving mechanically. He didn't know if the driver was even real.

Most likely not.

He didn't say anything, just looked at the scenery outside the window with some boredom. The car drove all the way out of the city. Lin Leyou originally thought it wouldn't take long, but it wasn't until it was almost dark that they arrived at their destination!

That means I drove for at least ten hours!

In the Endless World, it gets dark around 6 PM, but he left home at 8 AM! By the time the car stopped, it was already dark!

The car arrived at the foot of a snow-capped mountain.

"Please get out of the car. There is a road ahead. The villa is halfway up the mountain. Please go up by yourself."

Lin Leyou saw that there were already people standing and waiting in front of him. Could these people be the ones who came to participate in the game this time?

He opened the car door and got out, and the car drove away immediately. Only then did he think about whether he should put on his skull mask, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

The ten people who came to participate in the game included both residents and players. No resident would deliberately reveal their resident identity, so the players would all assume they were players and there was no need to hide their appearance.

When he reached the area where the crowd had gathered, he found that there were already six people there, making seven including himself. He was three people short. What was going on? Why were they all waiting here? Couldn't they go up first if not everyone was there?

A woman in a mink coat looked at him with disdain. "How come there are still people late?"

"Maybe something came up and held you back?"

"What could possibly be wrong..."

Those who are late are definitely not players. Players are summoned by the dungeon, so there's no such thing as being late. The only ones who can be late are residents.

Lin Leyou didn't speak but stood on the outermost side. He carefully observed the group and soon spotted a familiar figure that had been hidden by the others.

It's Xue Rui!

Xue Rui was actually there!

Xue Rui must have seen him when he came over, but he didn't greet him. What's going on?

He subconsciously took out his phone and checked it, and sure enough, there was a message from Xue Rui.

"Brother Lin, pretend you don't know me."

Lin Leyou blinked. "Okay, we'll talk about it later."

This game certainly warrants such caution.

Soon the remaining three also appeared. In fact, they weren't late, just a little later than the others.

"Gentlemen."

Everyone immediately looked in the direction where the person was speaking.

As a result, a man in his thirties was standing right in the middle of the road. Some people were startled and took a few steps back, since there hadn't been a shadow of him there just moments before.

"Everyone, please hand over your game invitation cards to me, and then proceed to the snow villa halfway up the mountain on your own."

Lin Leyou handed the card that Jiang Xiali had given her to the man, who accepted it with a smile. The rest of the people also handed over their cards one by one.

"This is really troublesome."

Someone muttered under their breath.

"You still have to go up there yourself... Why don't you even try to improve this?"

Someone complained quietly.

However, they all spoke very quietly and did not actually shout.

Lin Leyou's eyes darted back and forth among them, but he really couldn't determine who was a player and who was a resident in a short time, except for Xue Rui, since Xue Rui was definitely a player.

It was completely dark, but they still hadn't reached the villa. It seemed that getting from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point was quite difficult, and the road was covered in snow, making the journey particularly arduous.

"Thank goodness there's a moon tonight, otherwise... phew..."

"I'm so tired, I can't take this anymore, I have to..."

What do you want? Do you absolutely need to offer feedback or file a complaint?

Lin Leyou was also a little tired, but fortunately he did not fall behind. There were a few people walking even slower behind him. One of them was a bald uncle with a lot of fat. He was dressed very well and looked like a player. In the real world, he should be a boss.

After a long and arduous journey, they finally saw the lights ahead.

When they finally saw the snow-capped villas halfway up the mountain, it was already 7:30 p.m. Everyone was exhausted, cold, and hungry, and had suffered quite a bit.

Lin Leyou observed that several people were in better condition than him, so it seemed that, in terms of physical strength alone, he was not among the strongest.

The man who had just collected their invitation cards at the foot of the mountain reappeared in front of the villa gate, looking quite refreshed. I wonder how he got up here; did he take a shortcut?

"Welcome to Snow Mountain Villa. You must be tired from your long journey. Please come in."

Lin Leyou followed everyone into the villa and, under the guidance of the man, completed the check-in procedures, which were free of charge. Afterward, everyone sat and rested in the lobby.

It's called a villa, but the interior has been renovated to resemble a hotel, yet it looks almost like a luxurious villa.

If it weren't for the need to play the bloody Werewolf game, this would be a great place for a vacation.

It was very warm inside the villa.

Before long, their hands and feet, which had been freezing cold from climbing the mountain, began to warm up, and some people even took off their coats because they were so hot.

"Phew...it's quite hot inside."

Lin Leyou also unzipped his coat, but didn't take it off, lest he catch a cold from the sudden change in temperature.

Soon after, two women brought out steaming hot milk tea, coffee, and some freshly baked cakes and placed them on the table.

"Please have something to eat to warm yourself up. The game officially starts tomorrow, so please get some rest tonight and conserve your energy."

Lin Leyou calmly took a steaming cup of milk tea and a piece of fruit cake. He decided to fill his stomach first and not worry about anything else.

I ate something before leaving in the morning, but I didn't eat or drink anything all day in the car. I had been enduring hunger and thirst while hiking, so I was starving.

He saw that four other people, like himself, quickly started eating, meaning that there were about five residents participating in the game this time, including himself.

Xue Rui originally didn't want to touch these things, after all, it's common sense for players to be wary of everything in the dungeon, including food.

Of course, he wasn't hungry at all; he had already eaten at home.

But after seeing Lin Leyou start eating without hesitation, he only thought for a second before imitating him, picking out a cup of coffee and a similar piece of fruit cake, and slowly eating them.

Only four people remained still, watching them eat without touching the food on the table.

They are most likely gamers, but it's also possible that some residents ate in their cars and didn't want the milk tea, coffee, or cakes available here.

Lin Leyou noticed that, apart from himself and Xue Rui, the other four people's eyes lingered on the person who wasn't eating.

It seems that experienced players can roughly identify who the outside players are before the game even starts, and these four people will most likely be targeted first.

Even if there might be residents among them, so what? This food might just be a way to let everyone check which of the players' tricks are being played before the game starts.

It seems that the organizers of this game do not show favoritism while playing, but they still give the residents some conveniences before the game starts, such as... delivering food like this.

After all, he was 100% certain that most of the residents of the Endless World were more powerful than the game players, so letting the residents know in advance who was most likely to be a player was already a clear act of favoritism.

No residents seemed surprised, suggesting that this must have been a long-standing custom. Lin Leyou didn't object to this behavior, as it was beneficial to him.
