Chapter 178 [(*^▽^*)]

Lin Leyou is planning to take on a quest. If his item, Jin Yang, needs to be upgraded to green equipment, he needs to complete a quest, and he can't wait any longer.

He had been waiting for news from Xue Rui, but Xue Rui had probably been busy lately, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

There wasn't much good stuff at the market today, so Lin Leyou and his companion strolled around for a bit before returning to their lodgings.

That evening, Lin Leyou returned to the real world once again.

It was still a bit dark outside. During this time, he would occasionally return to the real world, since he still needed to learn to drive and take his driver's license test, and this matter couldn't be delayed for too long.

He took out his phone and checked the time. It was past 2 a.m., and the date was already the end of August. With school starting soon, he figured Xue Rui wouldn't be showing up as often anymore.

In short, you can go out freely during the day from Monday to Friday. Wearing a hat and mask all the time in the middle of summer is not a good idea.

Lin Leyou stayed in the real world for a few more days this time, trying to get his driver's license before going to the Endless World.

To his surprise, he saw Guo Xia outside the gate of the residential area after he went out. Of course, Guo Xia was not there to look for him, but just happened to be passing by in her car.

Lin Leyou happened to see it as she walked out of the community gate. The car quickly disappeared from sight. Lin Leyou blinked and then pretended not to have seen it.

Whatever Guo Xia does is none of my business; he's just an ordinary citizen.

Having already obtained my driver's license in the endless world, I was indeed quite proficient in the real world as well. After passing all the tests, I quickly got my driver's license.

Now that you have your driver's license, shouldn't you buy a car?

Lin Leyou felt itchy to buy a car, but considering that cars in the real world are all old relics and he doesn't necessarily need one right now, he temporarily put aside the idea of ​​buying one.

I'll look at cars after I move into the villa; I don't really need one right now.

After getting his driver's license, Lin Leyou's life became much more peaceful. All the players who had attacked him before had disappeared without a trace, one after another.

He must have been arrested and placed under surveillance by the state. As expected of a great Eastern power, his speed is definitely much faster than that of other countries.

Why……?

Come to think of it, he doesn't seem to have seen any foreigners in the Endless World instance. No, he hasn't seen any foreigners in the Endless City either. Could it be that this Endless World is specifically for China to play in?

As he walked back, he was shocked to see someone standing in front of his door, angrily banging on it with a knife.

When Lin Leyou appeared, he just glared at him fiercely and said, "What are you looking at?"

That's strange.

Lin Leyou, "What are you doing?"

"None of your business. I advise you to mind your own business."

Lin Leyou, "Are you going to kill someone with a knife?"

"I already said it has nothing to do with you! This family deserves a beating!"

Lin Leyou checked the time; it was only 7 PM. He had eaten and returned, so it wasn't too late. "What's wrong with you? You want to get beaten up?"

"This family is playing music at full volume in their house, they don't even realize they're disturbing the neighbors! I'm here to warn them!"

Lin Leyou thought to himself, how could this be? He hadn't been home all day; had he been sleeping at home playing music?

"Stop knocking. The person who lives here isn't home. He left early this morning to take his driving test and hasn't come back all day."

The man who had been banging on the door menacingly with a knife paused for a moment, "What did you say? How did you know?"

Lin Leyou took out his driver's license from his pocket. "Because I live here, I went out to take the test today. I just got my driver's license, it's still fresh in my hand."

"I wasn't even home today, why would I play music? Are you sure you heard me right? Also... you should put that knife away for now. If someone with a weak heart sees it, they might just call the police."

He paused for a moment, looked at the knife in his hand, his lips twitched, but he still tucked the knife into his waistband. "Sorry, brother, I'm just really annoyed. This music is so loud, it makes me feel like I'm going to keep going when I'm at home."

Lin Leyou stepped forward and opened the door. The house was completely silent. "See? I told you it wasn't my house. Can you still hear the music now?"

He stood there, stunned, as if listening to music. "It seems to be gone... Huh? How could that be? I heard it when I went upstairs just now, how come it's gone now?"

Lin Leyou: "Maybe the person playing the music turned it off."

The man couldn't understand it, but he still went downstairs, since he couldn't just stand at someone's door forever.

Lin Leyou looked at the kitchen knife tucked into his waistband and felt something was off, but he didn't meddle. Instead, he went inside, closed the door, and casually turned the key in the lock a couple of times.

I initially thought it was just a trivial matter, but I never expected...

He had only closed the door for less than ten minutes when he heard a woman scream in the hallway. He rushed over and opened the door. The scream was coming from downstairs. He walked down the stairs and saw the horrific scene on the next floor's corridor.

The older brother who was knocking on his door upstairs is now lying in a pool of blood, holding that kitchen knife in his hand. The cut on his neck was really vicious, and blood was gushing out.

And this guy isn't quite dead yet! His body is still twitching.

The screaming woman huddled in the corner, too scared to move, her hands covering her head; she was clearly terrified.

Lin Leyou quickly grabbed his phone to call for an ambulance and then reported the incident to the police.

Unfortunately, the man was already dead when the ambulance arrived, and the police arrived quickly.

As the person who reported the incident, Lin Leyou was naturally required to give a statement. He never expected that he would encounter such trouble again so soon.

Fortunately, this matter has little to do with me.

After all, there are surveillance cameras in the hallway, and I wasn't the first person to discover it. The first person to discover it was that woman. The woman said that the man slit his own throat with a knife, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.

Moreover, the surveillance footage showed the same thing, so it was quickly classified as a suicide, and the matter was quickly forgotten.

Unexpectedly, Lin Leyou received a call from Guo Xia after returning home.

He looked at Guo Xia's name on his phone and wondered why this person wouldn't let him go.

"Hello?"

Guo Xia: "Oh, Mr. Lin?"

Lin Leyou: "It's me. What's wrong? What happened?"

Guo Xia: "Haha... It's nothing, it's nothing. I just heard that something happened to you again. Can I ask what happened?"

Lin Leyou: "Sigh... I've already told them everything I know when I gave my statement."

Guo Xia: "That's not what I meant. I meant, did he say anything strange when you were talking to him?"

Lin Leyou thought about it carefully, "He said that when he heard the 'dong dong dong' music, he felt his whole body vibrate. Is that a strange thing to say? Oh, he was holding a knife at the time. I wanted to run away, but I gave up the idea of ​​running away when I saw him tuck the knife into his waistband."

Guo Xia: "Oh? Music? Did you hear it when you went upstairs?"

Lin Leyou said, "I didn't hear any music at all. I found it very strange at the time. He only said he didn't hear any music when I opened the door. That means he could hear it before I came, but I really didn't hear it. Is he mentally ill and hallucinating?"

Guo Xia: "Oh, I see. Thank you. I think I understand now."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Leyou felt that something was wrong. Did they know? What did they know?

How could he not know?

Is this matter still related to the players?

etc……

Does it have anything to do with the players?

Could it be that the man with the knife failed to clear the dungeon and his score was reduced to negative...?

To face death after returning to the real world?

suicide?

The fact that Guo Xia would call to confirm the situation must mean he's connected to the player, especially considering he committed suicide.

"call……"

Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief. So it really was possible to die; if your points were deducted to a negative number, you would die.

You will die if your points deducted to a negative number!

Based on this condition, he doesn't seem to be any different from the players. It seems he needs to keep at least ten million points in the future, otherwise it's really hard to say.

Lin Leyou put his driver's license in his backpack, which contained his mobile phone, ID card, wallet, cash, bank cards, and other important items. Now he had a driver's license as well.

From now on, wherever I go, I only need to bring this backpack. I can throw away all my other clothes and daily necessities and buy new ones.

He placed the backpack on the cabinet and then returned to the Endless World, where he received a message from Xue Rui.

"Brother Lin, I'm here."

Lin Leyou asked, "Where is it?"

Xue Rui replied, "It's in a village, Linjia Village."

Lin Leyou blinked. He also had the surname Lin. What a coincidence.

He casually opened his job posting page, and there were indeed several job postings, from Linjia Village, from Linjia Village!

He remembered what Jiang Xiali had said before, that many job postings would deceive inexperienced newcomers, so he decided to directly refuse any job postings that didn't have clear job requirements.

Fortunately, the mission for Linjia Village this time was clearly written: he was to play the role of the youngest son of the richest family in Linjia Village who had been murdered. Of course, since he was dead, he would become a vengeful ghost.

"Mission prompt: Play as Lin Yang'an, the youngest son of the richest family in Linjia Village, and return as a vengeful ghost to seek revenge, killing your stepmother Zhao Anxue and your half-brother Lin Yangxu."

"Note: Completing the task will reward you with 5000 points, while failing the task will deduct 500 points."

Lin Leyou was shocked to see the reward; failing the mission actually deducted points! This was something he had never encountered before!

Is this mission going to be very difficult?

"System notification: The difficulty level of this mission is C!"

Lin Leyou: "What about the previous missions?"

"System notification: All tasks are simple and have no level requirement."
