Chapter 161 [(*^▽^*)]

Then Gu Qingmei sighed again, "I didn't expect him to be so anxious, to go to such lengths. When I heard what Ali said, I was shocked. That child almost died!"

Jiang Changhai's smile faded considerably. "Who says otherwise!"

Jiang Xia grabbed Lin Leyou's arm and shook it, "Hey, let me see that thing, I've only heard of it before, I've never actually seen one!"

Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment before realizing what Jiang Xiali was talking about. Without hiding anything, he casually took out the gold-plated prop from his backpack.

"See? I think I told you before, this thing looks like a bowl, there's nothing special about it."

Jiang Xiali took it and examined it closely, checking the description. "It really is that defensive item, it really is a gold-grade defensive item, the one that can be fully charged with 10,000 points!"

Seeing his excited expression, Lin Leyou asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there no other defensive item with a similar effect besides this?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right?"

Jiang Xia reluctantly returned the prop to Lin Leyou, saying, "Oh, of course, there's more than just this. There are better ones too."

Lin Leyou, "Then how..."

In Jiangxiali, "But all those good props... have been taken by those rich and powerful people. Once they're in their hands, how can ordinary people like us ever see them again?"

An ordinary person?

Is Jiang Xiali saying that he is an ordinary person?

Lin Wanyi interjected, "Lin Leyou."

Lin Leyou, "What's wrong?"

Lin Wanyi said, "After Jiang Changdong got this thing, many people knew about it and wanted to borrow it. However, they were people whose status and position were not something that Jiang Changdong and his group could afford to offend."

"However, these people don't actually belong to the top tier of Endless City; they can only be considered upper-middle class. They just happen to not have such good defensive items at home, and for some other reasons, such items are in high demand."

Lin Leyou, "So that's how it is..."

Lin Wanyi said, "Also, because this happened so suddenly, many people don't know about it yet, so it's relatively peaceful for now. But now that the item is in your hands, Jiang Changdong will never be able to produce a second identical prop, so... you still need to prepare in advance."

Lin Leyou blinked. "Are they going to coerce or bribe me into handing over this prop to them? Or sell it to them? Or perhaps they're planning to buy it at a low price?"

He can hide in Jiang Xiali's house now, but what if those people target Jiang Xiali's family because of him?

Then he'll have to go back to his own place. He can't keep causing trouble for Jiangxia Li, can he?

Moreover, I might be in a very passive position at that time. Is it really impossible to keep this thing?

Jiang Xiali glared at Lin Wanyi, then waved her hand, "It's not that serious, but they'll definitely come to you to borrow this prop. What are you going to do then?"

Lin Leyou thought for a while, "I don't plan to participate in any more dungeons recently. Lin Wanyi introduced me to a martial arts instructor, and I plan to train with him for a while first. Also, I need to hurry up with the driving stuff."

Lin Wanyi agreed, "Just in case, you should come with me to the trading area later and buy some better items. That will greatly improve your ability to protect yourself."

Lin Leyou nodded, "No problem."

He then added, "Actually, my 'ghost wall' talent should also be equivalent to an invincible defense, right? I can hide inside for a long time, and it's no problem to use it as a safe zone to rest."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiali and Lin Wanyi were both stunned for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was indeed possible! They had always thought that the "ghost wall" was used to trap the enemy.

However, Lin Leyou's method of use is also very practical; placing oneself or a friend inside can indirectly provide protection.

It can even last for two hours! You can rest and recover your energy inside! That makes it sound like an incredibly powerful talent!

That's some serious talent! Even a random talent can outshine gold-tier defensive items!

Huh? So, does that mean Lin Leyou getting this gold-plated defensive item is just icing on the cake? If possible, could he buy it later?

Jiang Xia had this thought in her mind, but it was just a thought and she didn't really intend to do it. After all, if it were her, she wouldn't be willing to sell it either.

Jiang Xiali then asked directly, "Where did you get this talent?"

Lin Wanyi glanced at him, and Jiang Xiali only realized what was going on after noticing his gaze. This wasn't something you could just ask casually!

He wanted to skip the question, but Lin Leyou was dismissive, "Where did you get it? I got it from the Happiness Community instance."

Although Lin Wanyi was surprised that it was a copy of the Happy Community story, she was still puzzled, "You just said that so casually?"

Lin Leyou's lips curled into a smile. "Is there anything I can't say?"

"There was a problem with that instance back then. I was probably just lucky to get this talent card. After all, the Happy Community instance has been restored to normal now, and maybe you won't be able to get the talent card even if you participate in that instance now."

Lin Wanyi nodded slowly, "What you said is right. The situation probably occurred because the dungeon got out of control. After it returns to normal, there shouldn't be any more talent cards produced in Happiness Community."

Jiang Xiali was very disappointed, "Sigh..."

Lin Leyou kept the talent card he gave to Xue Rui a secret.

After all, it's one thing for a talent card to appear; that can be explained as an anomaly. But if they find out that there are two talent cards, this matter will definitely not be so easily resolved!

Lin Leyou was somewhat troubled, wondering if Xue Rui had revealed the matter of the talent card.

"I'll send him a message anyway," Lin Leyou thought, taking out his phone and typing out a message telling him not to casually tell others about his talent and talent cards.

After sending the message and waiting for a while without receiving a reply, Lin Leyou knew that Xue Rui had not continued to participate in the game instance in the short term.

It's okay, he'll see the message when he arrives anyway.

Jiang Xiali received this news, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted, but he also knew that it was impossible to obtain two talent cards in the same instance in a short period of time.

Especially considering that Lin Leyou obtained the talent card during the time when the dungeon had problems, it further illustrates that it would be impossible to obtain a talent card under normal circumstances.

So he was torn between going to the Happiness Community instance or not. Should he go anyway? He really couldn't give up without going!

Then Jiang Xiali thought of something more important, "By the way, Xiaoyou, can my dad borrow this prop once? Of course, he'll definitely pay you the market price for the rental."

Lin Leyou didn't hesitate, "Of course I can lend it to you, but you don't need to pay the rent. Just consider it... a gift from me."

Jiang Xiali, "A gift?"

Lin Leyou said, "Yes, you and Lin Wanyi have helped me a lot. I'll lend it to you for free this time, but I'll have to charge you next time."

Jiang Xia thought for a moment and didn't refuse, "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you!"

After this matter was resolved, Jiang Xia felt much more at ease. After all, the dungeon her father was about to go to was really dangerous, and no matter how she asked her uncle, he would refuse.

Jiang Xiaoyue kept making sarcastic and mocking remarks, which infuriated him.

I'll definitely make fun of her to her face when I get the chance!

Previously, he had almost made up his mind to ask Lin Wanyi to borrow the defensive items she had. In fact, he really didn't want to do it unless absolutely necessary.

Although their relationship was usually really bad, and Jiang Xiali would never back down, he was willing to bow down to him for his father's safety, and of course, it wasn't because of pride.

The reason is simply that the defensive items in Lin Wanyi's possession are also very important to him. He has climbed to this position and offended quite a few people along the way.

If others found out that he had lent out that prop, many people would definitely attack him in secret. Jiang Xiali didn't want to harm Lin Wanyi for his own sake.

Although he really, really finds Lin Wanyi annoying.

Lin Leyou and his group arrived at Jiangxia Li's home.

Of course, Lin Wanyi got off the bus halfway back to Endless City. She had just finished her work and was on her way back when she received a call from Jiang Xiali, which took her some time to deal with the matter.

Now that the matter has been resolved, it is natural to return to the Bureau of Order and Control to report back.

Of course, this matter is not that simple. The amusement park's management personnel have already completed their inspection, especially the marks on the ground near the main gate caused by Jiang Changdong's dagger.

This can also be considered evidence.

Lin Leyou had only just gotten out of the car, and even before Jiang Changhai and Gu Qingmei, who had seen them return and were about to go to the door to greet them, opened the door, the people from the Public Order Administration arrived.

Jiang Xiali grabbed Lin Leyou's arm. "Wait a minute, this is a car from the Bureau of Public Order. They're probably here to see you. Let's see what they want to ask."

Lin Leyou exclaimed in surprise, "So fast?!"

In Jiangxia Village, "Lin Wanyi had contacted her other colleagues beforehand to handle this matter, and the timing was just right."

Lin Leyou exclaimed, "The Bureau of Order Management is so efficient!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone shouted, "Young man, you have a good eye! Not bad at all! Of course, our Public Order Management Bureau is very efficient!"

Two people got out of the car in front. The one with the loud voice was the one in front. He looked tall and strong and seemed simple-minded, but you know he's definitely not that simple.

The one following behind looked serious, but he was keeping up very closely. Was he a lackey?

"Hello, hello, you are Lin Leyou, a resident of Xingfu Community, right?"
