Chapter 376 [(*^▽^*)]

Just as Manager Wang was feeling uneasy, wondering if he would be asked to pack his bags and leave, Xue Rui said, "Don't worry about it. These people came from H City, it has nothing to do with you."

Manager Wang realized that Xue Rui didn't just seem to be comforting him, but genuinely thought so, and gradually relaxed. It seemed that his manager position was secure.

"Thank you, young master!"

Just then, the operation outside began. These gangsters, unaware that they were already in the encirclement, were still waiting outside for Xue Rui to appear.

Actually, they felt so at ease because they had checked around the hotel early in the morning and found nothing unusual.

However, what they didn't know was that the bodyguards and police didn't act immediately, but only began to make arrangements after they were completely at ease.

So, Lin Leyou found it quite relaxing to see the stunned expressions on the faces of those who were lying in ambush when they realized the police were right in front of them!

However, they all had guns, so the operation was still somewhat dangerous, but fortunately they appeared very suddenly, and most of the people didn't have time to react.

The remaining few who reacted quickly did not run away. Because they had guns, the police did not hold back. To prevent them from actually escaping or running to other places to capture hostages, they directly ordered to open fire and arrest them!

Xue Rui only left the hotel after all of these people were arrested without exception.

Lin Leyou watched his car leave quietly. Xue Rui really knew everything; she didn't need to worry about it at all.

"Why……"

He couldn't help but sigh. The little kid who stood at the entrance of the shop in Shangyu Village, clutching his wound and begging for help from an NPC, had grown up so quickly. It was a bit of a pity.

With that in mind, Lin Leyou stopped worrying about it. He could now relax and go out for some fun, after all…

After that, Lin Leyou went to many places, all within Z Province, and did not leave the province. Apart from feeling a little sentimental when watching other families reunite during the Spring Festival, he had no other thoughts. After all, he had gotten used to spending the Spring Festival alone for decades in his previous life.

At least now he can have a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. With three days left in the six-month period, Lin Leyou returned to his rented place.

He had been away for the past few months and hadn't returned, but he kept up with news about the Xue Group online. The day he returned was the day Xue Rui officially turned eighteen.

That day, the Xue Group's gates were packed with media from all walks of life, all wanting to get first-hand information. However, Lin Leyou had already arranged for five mechanical spiders to be inside the Xue Group.

He watched the whole process, especially the scene of Xue Rui signing those documents. To be honest, Lin Leyou was very happy for him. On the day he came of age, he received everything that Old Master Xue had given him.

He even inherited his mother's family business at the same time. Now... who can stop him?

Lin Leyou even spotted Xue Zhengyang and his wife, their faces extremely grim, hidden in the crowd, as well as Xue Qian, whose gaze toward Xue Rui was like that of a venomous snake.

Clearly, the family of three's plan to assassinate Xue Rui had not changed; after all, if Xue Rui died, they could still inherit these things.

Perhaps in their eyes, these things would only stay in Xue Rui's hands for a while, but they would never be able to kill Xue Rui in their lifetime.

Xue Qian does have special abilities, but don't forget, Xue Rui is a pro player now. Xue Qian seems to have a lot of points, but can they compare to the millions in Xue Rui's hands?

Xue Zhengyang and his group could afford to hire assassins from the underworld, but now Xue Rui is even richer than them. His status has changed from that of the underage young master of the Xue family to the highest controlling shareholder of the Xue Group.

The next few days were the most frenzied time for the media, and Lin Leyou stayed at his residence, constantly following Xue Rui's news.

Occasionally during the day, I would go to my villa to check on it. After several months of renovation, it was already more than halfway done, and it would be completed in about another month.

He went over to take a look, and sure enough, it was decorated in the style he liked. He had fantasized about his own house more than once in his past life.

He dislikes the interior design style of decades later; he prefers the style of decades ago, which is now—a classic, antique style…

The countdown had come to an end, and Lin Leyou lay in bed early that night, waiting for the countdown to end. Soon, he heard the familiar voice again.

"System notification: Welcome back to the Endless World, resident Lin Leyou!"

"Note: Participating in the dungeon does not consume time. The time flow between the Endless World and the real world will be changed to 1:1 from now on. Please remember this!"

Upon returning to the Infinite World, Lin Leyou was stunned after hearing the system notification. The time flow was the same in both worlds, which meant that the time he spent in the Infinite World would be the same as the time that passed in the real world.

From now on, he can no longer live like before... Thank goodness! Thank goodness he didn't create trouble for himself in the real world.

After moving to the villa, he won't need to go out often. He can stay at home all day and keep an eye on things in the Endless World. Although it won't be as convenient as before, it doesn't seem to be a big problem.

Six months later, he saw his apartment in the Happiness Community again. The interior decoration was still so familiar. He picked up his phone and checked the time. It had indeed only been a few hours.

"Phew..." This time is the same as the time in the real world, it's past midnight.

What else can he do now? It's nighttime in both worlds, and it seems like everyone is sleeping no matter where they are. In that case, he might as well go and participate in a dungeon.

Touching the golden sun prop worn on his ear, he knew that to upgrade the golden sun, he had to successfully complete two dungeons of difficulty level B or higher.

He opened the recruitment panel, and there were indeed many dungeons recruiting NPCs, with the most being C-level difficulty and only two being B-level difficulty.

One is a terrifying school, and the other is a terrifying office building.

He thought for a moment, and unconsciously thought of the Xue Group's high-rise building. He directly selected the mission for the terrifying office building, and by the time he realized it, it was already confirmed.

"Fine, I've already made my choice, I can't give up now, so let's just leave it at that..."

Lin Leyou clicked on the quest, but there were no prompts. This meant he would only get a prompt once he entered the instance. In that case, he would go now.

"System, please send me to the dungeon entrance."

Lin Leyou had already changed her clothes and was ready.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Leyou found himself in front of a tall building shrouded in black mist. This should be the dungeon site for the Horror Office Building instance.

"System notification: Resident Lin Leyou has accepted the Horror Office Building quest. Please play as the final boss of this instance! The instance will end when all players die or the boss dies."

"Note: Killing a player will earn you 10,000 points! The dungeon lasts for 10 days. If the BOSS survives within 10 days and a player fails to clear the dungeon, you will receive an additional 80,000 points! The items required for this dungeon have been placed in your inventory. Please check them yourself."

Lin Leyou rummaged through his backpack and found it still contained a BOSS's identity card.

"The BOSS of the terrifying office building: After using this identity card, you will transform into the BOSS and be able to command everyone in the office building except the players. You can also teleport to any location in the office building. Cooldown time: 2 hours."

Lin Leyou then received a friendly reminder from the system.

"System notification: You may use all of your items and talents within this instance."

Lin Leyou immediately got excited. He could use all his props and talents. In that case, he would have to make some careful plans and use his identity token first.

After using his ID card, he immediately appeared on the top floor of the office building, where the BOSS's office was located. He first walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the reflection in the window.

Looking at him, he saw no resemblance to his original self, and... it was rather dark outside, but he knew it was daytime now. When night fell, the BOSS's appearance would change, for example, his nails would turn black and his eyes would turn red.

There is only one company in the entire office building, and he is the boss of this company. He manages the company during the day and becomes a monster leader at night, leading his henchmen to hunt down players who enter the company.

I don't know how many players there are this time, and... based on previous speculation, if Xue Rui opens the game instance at about the same time, he will definitely be assigned to the same instance as me.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door. "President Xue."

What? !

Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment. The person outside should be the boss's secretary, but this secretary called him President Xue? This... this is so awkward.

"Come in!"

He sat calmly in his comfortable chair, watching his secretary enter from behind his desk. To be honest, she was very beautiful…

However, while others might not be able to tell, the boss could see it very clearly: the secretary was indeed beautiful now, but once night fell, she would transform into a monster with a giant mouth, sharp teeth, and festering sores all over her body.

"Mr. Xue, these are the new employees who joined today. Please take a look."

Lin Leyou said, "Put it on the table, I'll look at it later."

"OK."

The secretary placed the items on the desk and left.

Lin Leyou glanced at the clock on the table. It was a little past six in the morning, which meant that the instance would end at six o'clock in ten days.

He looked through the documents but didn't find Xue Rui. In other words, Xue Rui wasn't... or maybe not. It's impossible that all players entered the company in this way.

Of course, it's also possible that Xue Rui didn't participate in the game instance during this time, so they didn't meet. If that's the case, then he doesn't need to be polite.
