Chapter 432 [(*^▽^*)]

Zhao Wan said, "I always feel like the BOSS will come out with Captain Xue's head in the next second and kill us all one by one."

Zhou Qiao said, "We must kill Wang Fu first; he's the one who has done the least work among us."

Sichuan Pepper: "Our captain completed the most tasks, so the BOSS probably won't kill him first, right? So we don't need to worry? If you need to worry, just worry about yourself!"

Zhou Feng: "Is that really true?"

Fang Hong: "We haven't heard any fighting sounds from inside yet, so it seems that's the case. Should we go over and eavesdrop?"

Wang Fu: "I suggest you don't go over there. Captain Xue might not notice, but the BOSS will definitely. Do you think that would provoke him?"

Everyone immediately fell silent. Of course, they were afraid of provoking the BOSS, so they decided to let it go and remained quietly outside. However, their minds were completely absorbed by the door, and they couldn't spare a single thought for anything else.

Meanwhile, inside the private room, Lin Leyou was utterly speechless. "What are you doing?"

Xue Rui: "It's okay. I'm the one who completed the most work. Logically speaking, the BOSS won't kill me first, so it's no problem for me to come here and get out alive."

Lin Leyou nodded, "Okay, it's up to you. But what do you need me for? You can just send me a message, I can see it."

Xue Rui shook his head, "It's nothing, I just wanted to sit with you for a while at the end."

Lin Leyou blinked, then suddenly smiled and asked, "Not shy anymore?"

Xue Rui's expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened that could have made him embarrassed. This surprised Lin Leyou; indeed, as people grow older, their skin thickens.

Xue Rui said, "After the dungeon is over, I'm going to go to Brother Lin's house and sleep for a few nights."

Lin Leyou had nothing to say, but replied, "You're welcome anytime."

Xue Rui: "Does Brother Lin welcome me? Will he find me annoying?"

Lin Leyou found it strange, "Why would you ask that? When have I ever found you annoying?"

Xue Rui shook his head, "No, but..."

Lin Leyou waved his hand, "Alright, let's not talk about things that don't exist. Do you want to eat something with me?"

Xue Rui had just eaten, but he wasn't really full, so he still had a little room in his stomach. Now that Lin Leyou was inviting him to eat together, of course he had no problem.

"So, Brother Lin likes to eat these? I'll make them for you from now on, okay?"

Lin Leyou paused slightly, "If there's time, of course, no problem, but we still need to..."

Xue Rui interrupted him, "It's good that there's no problem. I'm sure I can make it better than anyone else."

If Lin Leyou were truly a resident of the Endless World, he would certainly think there was no problem. However, he knew how busy Xue Rui was in the real world, juggling studies and work to the point of exhaustion, yet still finding time to learn to cook.

"How about this, when you're learning to cook, come to my house and we can learn together. Neither of us can sneak off on our own."

Xue Rui was stunned for a moment. The two of them were studying together at Lin Leyou's house? This... this seems good. If that's the case, then he won't need to prepare those things in the real world.

He nodded. "Okay, no problem."

Lin Leyou, "Do you like these dishes?"

Xue Rui, "The taste is still very good..."

The two chatted about trivial things to pass the time, but the atmosphere was still quite good. It was just a few players outside who were suffering, staring longingly at the door of the private room.

It took Xue Rui more than an hour to come out. He returned to his seat and was immediately overwhelmed by questions.

He waited until everyone quieted down before saying, "The boss really didn't lay a hand on me. He just said he would keep me, an outstanding employee, until the end, so you shouldn't worry about me, but worry more about yourselves."

Huajiao covered her head with both hands, "Ah... I knew it, I knew the captain would survive to the end. We're the ones who need to worry about ourselves!"

Everyone looked somewhat devastated. Xue Rui said, "So, do you still want to try?"

Huajiao said nonchalantly, "No need, I give up. This BOSS is completely beyond our capabilities. He's so powerful, so strong, so domineering and handsome. If only he could be my boyfriend, even for ten minutes? Just one minute?"

Fang Hong: "Stop dreaming, come on, have a piece of meat."

After saying that, she used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth. Huajiao ate it with a lovestruck expression. "To be honest, when I get back to the real world, I'm going to find a boyfriend like this. What do you guys think?"

Zhou Qiao paused slightly, "If you can find it, remember to let me know. I'll ask this guy if he has any close brothers or best friends."

Zhao Wan, "Me too! Me too!"

Fang Hong chuckled at them, "You want boyfriends? Come to me, I have plenty!"

Everyone looked at her, and then Zhou Feng said, "Oh right, Fang Hong has an older brother who is in the army. He's supposedly a special forces soldier, and he knows a lot of tall, handsome, and capable single men."

Now, Huajiao and the others stared at Fang Hong with shining eyes. Huajiao quietly moved closer to her, and the girls found a new place to whisper to each other.

Wang Fu, Zhou Feng, and Xue Rui remained where they were. Wang Fu stared in disbelief as they walked to the other side, then looked at Zhou Feng and Xue Rui and asked, "You two just leave like this with nothing to say?"

Zhou Feng remained calm. "What did you say?"

Wang Fu shook his head. "Even the ice queen Ding Baishuang passed away. Is the attraction really that strong? I'm a good man too. I have a large family fortune to inherit. Am I not tall or handsome? My abilities are also quite good. Why don't any girls like me..."

At this point, he suddenly remembered what Xue Rui had said about changing genders. Before he could finish speaking, he felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't continue.

Xue Rui: "Why did you stop talking? Do you want to eat some more? The BOSS will be here soon."

Wang Fu hesitated for a moment. Which of these three sentences should he reply to first? Wait, the BOSS is coming soon? When is he coming?!

"The boss is here? When will he arrive? How long will we have to wait?"

Xue Rui: "Probably after he finishes eating, it should be soon."

Wang Fu swallowed hard. "When you came out just now, how was the BOSS's meal? How much was left? Does he still have an hour to eat?"

Xue Rui shook his head. "You're almost finished eating, so do you want to get ready now?"

Wang Fu: "Preparing for what? Preparing to die?"

Xue Rui: "Yes, I'm all prepared. I can tell you for sure that we absolutely cannot kill this BOSS at night. We have to find a way to get to the top floor in the first five days to kill it. After five days, on the sixth day, no matter how many players are still alive, they can actually be considered dead."

Wang Fu shouted, "I knew it! I knew it... This level of difficulty dungeon is definitely not that easy. I knew that such a peaceful time during the day was not just for us to rest!"

"Why! Why didn't I react sooner? Now I'm just waiting to die. Fine, let me die then. What's there to prepare? Preparing means using items, and using items consumes points, which doesn't guarantee a win. I'll save as many points as I can, I absolutely won't waste them. I'll just wait to die like this. When the BOSS comes looking for me, can you please not make my death too painful...?"

Xue Rui, "I just talked to the boss, and he said he'll be quicker when he does it so we don't feel any pain. Does that make you feel any better?"

Wang Fu shouted again, "Ah—devil! Xue Rui, you're a devil! I knew you couldn't possibly be so calm, composed, and wise. It turns out you have a venomous snake hidden in your heart too."

Xue Rui, nicknamed "Viper," showed no change in expression, as if that was simply his nature and he didn't mind being called that. "Waiting to die?"

Wang Fu's lips twitched, then he nodded. "Yeah, I'm waiting to die, I'm waiting to die, okay? Captain Xue, you have a really good attitude. How about we use this time to look for any items we can take with us?"

Xue Rui: "You go ahead, I won't go."

Wang Fu asked, "What's wrong? Could it be... that we can't find the items in this dungeon?"

Xue Rui shook his head, then added, "Just die on the way there, that way we won't have to see how you die, isn't that better?"

Wang Fu had a curse in his mind that he didn't know whether to say or not. He thought about it but didn't say it. Instead, he slowly got up and said, "You're right. It's better if no one sees how I died. It's too shameful."

Although he was killed by people in the dungeon when he failed to clear it before, and was seen by Zhou Qiao and Zhao Wan, and died particularly badly a few times, which scared them to tears, he has survived until now. Of course, because of this, although they always tease him, they still stick by him.

Even though he seemed to be on Xue Rui's side just now, Wang Fu knew in his heart that if he really had a fundamental disagreement with Xue Rui, or if he planned to part ways, these two girls would still follow him.

Their attitude just now was only because they saw that they had all approved of Xue Rui, so they wanted to build a good relationship with his teammates first so that they could also get along well with Xue Rui.

Wang Fu slowly got up, waved to Xue Rui, and said, "I'll be going now. If my death is too gruesome, I'm afraid it will scare you. So you should find a corner to hide in."

He deliberately lowered his voice when he said this, and when he left, he blew a kiss to the girls, which earned him disgusted looks from them.

Then, laughing heartily, they disappeared without a trace. Today, everyone retrieved the items they had released, fearing that they might be killed by the BOSS and forgotten to be collected, which would be a huge loss.

Zhou Qiao and Zhao Wan watched Wang Fu's retreating figure calmly until he was out of sight before turning back to continue their discussion about good men.
