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 141 [(*^▽^*)]
"Don't push yourself so hard, you need to rest properly."
Lin Leyou thought that Xue Rui wouldn't receive the message he sent for a while, but to his surprise, Xue Rui replied very quickly.
"Brother Lin, you finally replied to my message."
Lin Leyou: "I just got home and went to bed not long ago. Aren't you tired from participating in dungeon games so frequently?"
Xue Rui was shocked to see his message. Something was wrong with the timing. This was the Infinite World. He had been here five times since the Werewolf game ended, and this was the sixth time…
More than half a month has passed in the real world, but only a dozen hours have passed here?
The flow of time is so strange!
Xue Rui: "Okay, Brother Lin, I'll make sure to get some rest."
Lin Leyou sighed after seeing this, "Has it started?"
Xue Rui: "If we can still contact them, they probably haven't, they're probably in the process of preparing."
Lin Leyou: "Where is it?"
Upon seeing the message, Xue Rui blinked with delight, "Brother Lin, are you coming?"
Lin Leyou sighed, "Go and take a look. You really don't know how to take care of yourself, and I don't know what you're in such a hurry for."
Xue Rui was stunned for a moment after seeing the message.
He was anxious... Yes, he was very anxious and under a lot of pressure.
Because he's about to turn 18, he's under a lot of pressure. It's already August; he was born in February, and in another six months he'll be 18 and an adult.
At that time, my own father would definitely take action against me, and even with the help of my grandfather and maternal grandfather, it would still be quite difficult for me to make a living.
He needed to become stronger as soon as possible, at least to protect himself from injury. He didn't think his stepmother and her illegitimate child would allow him to survive.
He inherited the family business and assets unscathed, especially his so-called biological father, who was in fact no different from a stepfather.
Xue Rui snapped out of her daze and sent him a message, "It's an abandoned amusement park. I saw a tattered sign; it looks like Happy Amusement Park?"
Upon seeing this, Lin Leyou immediately searched his job posting page and, sure enough, three messages popped up, one of which was from the abandoned Happy Amusement Park.
"Job Posting: An abandoned amusement park urgently needs a park caretaker!"
Lin Leyou accepted the message without hesitation. After getting up and changing her clothes, she immediately received a message on her phone saying that the car was waiting outside the gate of the residential area.
I'm stunned! Why so fast?! Are you frantic?!
But thinking about it, it makes sense. The players have already reached the entrance, and the NPC guarding the park hasn't been assigned yet. It's definitely something to be anxious about.
Lin Leyou didn't waste any time and hurried to the gate of the community. The security captain was surprised to see him and asked, "Are you going out in the middle of the night?"
After seeing the security captain's physique, he realized that it was only the middle of the night and he had only just returned home before having to go out again.
Although I was in a hurry, I had to get out.
"Yes, I have something to take care of, and I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I'll be going now."
The security captain watched him get into the car that had been parked outside. It turned out that the car was there to pick up Lin Leyou. He had initially thought it was some suspicious vehicle coming to the entrance of the residential area in the middle of the night.
Although I didn't quite understand, I didn't intend to ask too much. After all, it was someone else's business. Besides, Lin Leyou's coming and going in such a hurry meant that he was working hard to climb the ladder.
After getting into the car, Lin Leyou asked the driver, "When will we arrive?"
"We'll be there soon."
Lin Leyou paused for a moment, somewhat puzzled. How fast is "soon"?
The dungeon over there is about to start, right?
He sent a message to Xue Rui, but Xue Rui didn't reply. It must have already started, and the instance was closed, so the message failed to send.
In that case, is it still possible for me to go in?
He thought it would take a long time, but after the car started moving, he realized the driver was right. The speed was indeed very fast, so fast that the scenery outside was blurred and could not be seen at all, becoming a blur.
And just like that, we arrived at our destination in ten minutes.
Lin Leyou looked at the happy amusement park in front of him and slowly took two steps forward.
"You are the guardian of this abandoned amusement park. Everyone who enters this amusement park is your prey. Keep them here forever!"
"Mission: Your hunting range is the entire amusement park. Killing an intruder will earn you 100 points and 100,000 coins."
"Hint: You cannot attack other NPCs!"
Why? !
Can't attack other NPCs?
Does that mean we can't earn extra money?
Okay, okay, so it's just an NPC park guard chasing players. Now, can't I wear the Skull Mask to hide my identity?
He hadn't had a chance to use it before. Although there was a three-day cooldown, it didn't matter, since he could take on a task every three days anyway.
You can also accept some game dungeons where you can pretend to be a player; there's no conflict.
He took out a skull mask from his backpack and put it on his face. Instantly, his whole body was shrouded in black mist. Then the mist gradually dissipated, and the appearance revealed was about 50% the same as the skull ghost he had killed before!
Moreover, its entire body was emitting black smoke.
Before entering the amusement park area, Lin Leyou sent a message to Xue Rui: "I've arrived."
Xue Rui replied instantly, "Brother Lin, where are you?"
Lin Leyou thought for a moment, "I'm at the main gate now, why don't you come find me yourself?"
Should we surprise him?
Is it okay to be a little mischievous?
This amusement park is really big; it's probably because it was built on the outskirts of Infinite City, outside the bustling city center.
So the range is very large, and it's unknown whether Xue Rui is with other players.
Xue Rui: "I'll be right there, alone."
Lin Leyou stepped into the amusement park. He looked like a skeleton monster, and his figure, emanating black mist, quietly appeared in the middle of the amusement park's entrance.
He stood there quietly, as if waiting for something...
Waiting for Xue Rui.
About ten minutes later, Lin Leyou heard running sounds and panting coming from a distance, shrouded in mist. The voices sounded familiar, so it seemed that Xue Rui had arrived.
The moment Xue Rui saw Lin Leyou through the mist, the atmosphere in the entire space froze.
Lin Leyou could even see Xue Rui's smile freeze instantly, his eyes widening slightly.
He stood still, and Lin Leyou also stood still, watching him. The atmosphere was tense, and a battle seemed imminent.
Then Lin Leyou broke the awkward silence with a smile, "What, you don't recognize me just because I look different?"
Xue Rui froze upon hearing the familiar voice, then relaxed and took a deep breath. "Brother Lin...you, how could you be like this...you scared me!"
Lin Leyou said, "I'm different from you, so this is the only way. Also, my mission is to hunt players, so when you're with me... it's best not to be seen by other players."
Xue Rui blinked. "It's okay, I can provide Brother Lin with information about other players."
Lin Leyou had just seen a temporary prop for park rangers in his backpack, a necklace, which he took out and put around his neck.
This necklace can detect the exact location of all players within a 100-meter radius. In other words, once you enter the detection range of the item, it won't matter how well you hide.
Lin Leyou, "What is your mission?"
Xue Rui: "Choose any five rides in the amusement park and play them. You can't leave during the ride. After playing each ride, you'll get a stamp. Once you have five stamps, you can leave the amusement park through the main gate and successfully complete the level."
Lin Leyou said, "During this time, I will also have to face my pursuit, and of course, there may be other ghosts and monsters."
Xue Rui, "Brother Lin..."
These amusement park rides are definitely not just for fun; there are also dangers of death while playing, and ghosts and monsters lurking in every corner of the park.
Lin Leyou reassured her, "It's okay, I can take you to play."
Xue Rui blinked. "Really? That's great."
Lin Leyou led him deeper into the amusement park.
The visibility in this fog was only about ten meters, and his perception range was a radius of one hundred meters, so he wasn't worried about other players discovering him while he was communicating with Xue Rui.
Of course, there might be some strange props that can reveal the situation here, but it doesn't matter, Xue Rui has his own protection, so there won't be any problems.
When Lin Leyou selected a weapon for himself, a prompt appeared.
"Note: Only one weapon can be used in this instance. Please select one."
He could only choose one weapon or item from his backpack, so... he would definitely choose the cursed dagger!
Although it's just a purple-grade weapon or item, it's very suitable for this kind of game dungeon and also suits my current appearance.
The gold-plated, gem-encrusted weapon "Airborne" is unsuitable for this situation; it's simply too overpowered.
He's here as an NPC, to accompany Xue Rui through the dungeon. He doesn't have any life-or-death feuds with the other players, so there's no need to really kill them all.
A skeletal monster covered in black smoke, wielding a futuristic air gun, wreaked havoc throughout the entire amusement park.
It just doesn't seem right.
Anyway, if he encounters a player head-on, he'll kill them; if they run away, there's no need to chase them. He's already pretty dismissive of 100-point missions.
Xue Rui was quite nervous. The entire amusement park was shrouded in fog, and visibility was very low. Sometimes, if players were far apart, they might not be able to see each other and could even get lost.
They might also be attacked by ghosts that randomly emerge from the fog.
Two players were attacked and killed before, and he didn't see what attacked him or how the players died.
All that could be heard were piercing screams coming from the mist, along with the sound of bones being crushed. Everyone could only stand there, too afraid to move.
Lin Leyou: "How many players came this time?"
Xue Rui snapped out of his daze and didn't hide anything, "There are a total of one hundred players, including me."
