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 316 [(*^▽^*)]
Speaking of the security room, Lin Leyou didn't know if the security guards in the community, apart from the security captain, were still the same group as before.
"There must be at least a dozen security guards over there. They'll give each person a few eggs, and that'll be enough for everyone."
Qin Xingyu rolled her eyes. "You didn't even bother to send it to me?"
Lin Leyou said, "I just got back and I'm not going over there yet. If you want to eat, come and get it yourself!"
Qin Xingyu looked at the ten eggs on her table. She initially thought they were pretty good, but the contrast was stark and disheartening.
But actually, I could eat about ten of them; I couldn't possibly finish this many.
"Forget it, you can take them and divide them yourself. I don't want them. It's not very convenient to come to your house just for a few eggs. Okay, I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."
Without waiting for Lin Leyou's reply, he hung up first.
Lin Leyou looked at the black screen of his phone, sighed, and dialed the security captain's number.
"Yes, it's me. Hmm, didn't someone bring me some food earlier? I can't finish it all by myself, so I'll take it to the security room later and we can share it."
"It's okay, this is cooked food and can't be kept for too long. I can't finish it all by myself. It's not anything expensive, it's just that it has a different meaning. You'll see in a bit."
Lin Leyou left a few for himself for dinner, and carried the rest, along with the basket, to the security room. Of course, he carefully checked the contents of the basket before leaving.
He didn't find anything before leaving the house, but he went back inside as soon as he opened the door. He took the eggs out of the basket one by one and put them into his backpack.
I breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they were all regular hard-boiled eggs, then took a bag, packed all the eggs, and went to the security room.
The security captain was puzzled when he saw him carrying a bag, but when he got closer, he exclaimed, "Oh, so many red eggs? Did the person who delivered them earlier bring them?"
Lin Leyou: "Yes, it's a friend of mine. He's probably found a partner recently and is in a good mood, so he sent over so many red eggs. They're all cooked. How could I possibly eat them all? They'll go bad if I leave them for too long. Anyway, they're just symbolic, so I'm sharing them with everyone."
The security captain saw that the eggs weren't anything valuable, so he didn't refuse them; he could eat them with a late-night snack later.
"Alright, I'll accept it."
Lin Leyou was about to leave after delivering the eggs, but the security captain stopped him, "Hey, come in and sit down. It's been a long time. I'd like to chat with you."
Why haven't we seen each other in so long? Don't they see each other often?
Although Lin Leyou thought so, he did not refuse and followed him into the security room. After they went in, the security captain hurriedly closed the door and then said nervously, "I want to tell you something."
Lin Leyou: "What's wrong? Why are you acting so mysteriously?"
The security captain said, "You've been back for a few days now. Have you noticed a change in the people and cars passing by outside the community lately?"
Lin Leyou, "What kind of changes?"
Unfortunately, he didn't notice at all! Or rather, he didn't realize anything was wrong.
The security captain said, "I can't really explain it. It's just that the location of this community isn't exactly remote, but it's not a very bustling area either. There are many other communities around, but the residents of these communities don't need to pass through the road outside the gate of Xingfu Community, whether they want to go to the city center or the suburbs."
"Now I see some of the vehicles belonging to residents of these communities passing by here, and of course, over the years I've seen more and more pedestrians."
“If it were just a small increase, I wouldn’t be suspicious. But the number of unfamiliar people and cars has been skyrocketing lately, and that makes me uneasy.”
Lin Leyou was silent for a moment before smiling and saying, "It's okay. This is Happiness Community, and it's even inside Infinite City. Do you think anyone would dare to do anything bad?"
The security captain thought about it and agreed, "You're right. In Infinite City, especially near Happiness Community, if someone really dares to make a move here, that would be truly deadly."
When Lin Leyou returned home, he was still quite concerned about what the security captain had said, as he couldn't be 100% sure that these people were after him.
But just to be on the safe side, he decided to stay home as much as possible, and even when he did go out, he would only go to the market near Infinite Square or to Qin Xingyu's place.
We'll leave other places alone for now. No matter who contacts him, he can't go out casually, just to be on the safe side!
As darkness fell outside, Lin Leyou went out onto the balcony to admire the ginkgo trees for a while before drawing the curtains.
As he lay in bed preparing to rest, a phone call came in. Could it be...?
Upon taking a look, he saw the words "Huang Bing" clearly on it. This person had finally contacted him. Was the claim that he could get talent cards from a team dungeon true or false?
Lin Leyou couldn't help but think of what the security captain had said earlier that day. Was this a coincidence? Could it be that Huang Bing had been bribed by the Jiang family?
What were the names of that couple again?
Jiang Changdong and Qiu Baiyu are Jiang Xiayue's parents and also relatives of Jiang Xiali's family.
Lin Leyou had no choice but to move to Jiangxia Li's house for a while because he was secretly threatened by them. It was during this time that he realized that even the best of friends are just friends and need to have their own private space.
He didn't blame anyone; he just felt that he shouldn't have realized this sooner. After living there for so long, he should have moved back a long time ago.
Their departure wouldn't be a loss for them. After all, the Jiang Xia family's current status couldn't be due to one or two props, but rather to their own strength.
Answer the phone.
Huang Bing: "You finally answered the phone. If you hadn't answered, I would have thought you were asleep and was planning to call you again tomorrow morning."
Lin Leyou, "What do you want from me?"
Huang Bing: "Nothing special, just what we talked about before, have you forgotten?"
Lin Leyou didn't go into details, but instead asked, "What did you say? I've actually forgotten a bit. Can you say it to me again? Maybe I'll remember it then."
Huang Bing seemed to have heard something incomprehensible. "What did you say? Have you forgotten what I said before? Didn't you agree to team up with me for dungeons?"
"Didn't I say before? There's a high chance that there are talent cards in this dungeon. Do you really not want to play dumb anymore, or do you want to ask more questions? I can only say that I don't know either."
Lin Leyou blinked. "You really mean it? If that's the case..."
"I can't believe what you're saying. After all, I didn't know you before, so I don't feel safe about the guarantees you're talking about."
Huang Bing said, "You don't need to worry about that. Didn't I tell you? We'll team up to run the dungeon. The difficulty of this dungeon is random. If your level is high, the points deducted for failing to clear it will be astronomical. You'll feel bad about it, and so will I!"
Lin Leyou, "You want to borrow my props, right?"
Huang Bing didn't hide anything, "Yes, I remember we communicated like this before. I came to you because of this item, since I can't accurately estimate the difficulty of this dungeon's mission."
Lin Leyou: "So that means you can roughly estimate the difficulty level of the mission?"
Huang Bing sighed, "I can only know a general outline for a very short period of time before it's activated..."
Wait! What did he just say?! Is that something you can just say casually?
Lin Leyou asked quietly, "Didn't we say that we wouldn't know the character level or difficulty of a dungeon before entering it? How could you know in advance?"
Huang Bing said, "It's not that I knew in advance. I just have a special talent that allows me to sense things in advance. This talent is usually pretty useless, since many dungeons already show the difficulty of the task when they are issued, which means that I can't use it at all."
Lin Leyou: "Really?"
Huang Bing: "Yes, you can believe what I say. To me, you are my savior. Seriously, come and see me! I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Lin Leyou, "Where are you looking for me?"
Huang Bing said, "Didn't you want to know some basic information about this instance? I'll take you to find the entrance to this instance, and you'll know when we get there."
Lin Leyou, "Tomorrow?"
After thinking for a long time, he decided to go with Huang Bing to take a look. Sure enough, people die for money and birds die for food. He was no exception. Even though he knew it was strange, he still decided to go and see.
"Yes, how about I pick you up tomorrow morning?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "Okay, then come pick me up tomorrow."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, turned it off, and went to sleep!
After falling asleep, Lin Leyou returned to the real world, spent a boring day there, and then returned to the infinite world to continue sleeping.
I woke up the next day, and less than five minutes after turning on my phone, I received a call from Huang Bing: "Hello, are you awake?"
Lin Leyou, "What do you think?"
He answered the phone, how could he not be awake?
Huang Bing: "Okay, don't be angry. I just wanted to tell you that I'll be at the entrance of Xingfu Community in half an hour. We'll meet soon. Are you excited?"
Lin Leyou sighed, "I'm hanging up."
He then hung up the phone without paying attention to Huang Bing's expression on the other end, and continued with his breakfast, simply frying the eggs until they were golden brown on both sides, which looked very nice!
Then I simply cooked some tomato noodles, added two fried eggs, and that's how a simple breakfast was made.
Lin Leyou had just finished eating and hadn't even had time to clear the dishes when she received another message from Huang Bing: "I'm outside the gate. When are you coming out?"
Lin Leyou casually placed her phone on the coffee table, put her bowl and chopsticks in the kitchen, washed them, dried them, and put them back in their original places, wiping the dirty parts clean.
After tidying everything up, Lin Leyou picked up her phone to reply to his message, "I'm here."
