Chapter 435 [(*^▽^*)]

Lin Leyou read the post carefully again. He had only glanced at it before and hadn't looked at it in detail, but this time he found the registration method described in it.

This task requires registration through a special channel. First, you need to send your registration information to the Bureau of Order and Security. That's right, you need to register through a website of the Bureau of Order and Security. As for who reviews the applications, nobody knows. In any case, the Bureau of Order and Security is just a registration channel; they are not responsible for the review.

Lin Leyou was using his phone when Xue Rui leaned over and rested his chin on Lin Leyou's shoulder. Lin Leyou didn't mind; he could look if he wanted. It wouldn't matter if Xue Rui knew more, since there was nothing here that would reveal his real-world identity, so it was all safe.

"Order and Security Bureau?" Xue Rui saw the name of the website.

Lin Leyou nodded. "Do you remember the mayor who chased us in Qingshui Town before? The person who dealt with the mayor in the end was from the Order Maintenance Bureau. They set up many of the rules and maintained order in many instances and in this world. Everyone in there is a super big shot. Someone like me doesn't even have the qualifications to be interviewed."

Xue Rui blinked. "Brother Lin will definitely become stronger, and he'll be able to join the Bureau of Order and Security then."

This place sounds somewhat similar to the Special Cases Management Bureau in the real world, but it's only similar. The Order Protection Bureau of the Endless World... I never expected this!

Moreover, Lin Leyou said that he wouldn't even be qualified for an interview, and Xue Rui knew his strength. This shows how powerful the Order Maintenance Bureau is overall.

Xue Rui watched Lin Leyou complete the entire registration process without blinking. Lin Leyou didn't even think about when she would receive the review results. Just as she was about to turn off her phone, she received a message.

He was stunned for a moment before clicking to view the content, only to find that it was a message saying the review had been approved! What happened? Wasn't it said that time spent in the instance didn't count?

In other words, when you send out your registration information, it seems like it has actually been sent out, but it hasn't actually been sent out yet. The registration information will only be officially sent out after this Happy Community instance ends, and then you will have to wait for the review period.

But this… Lin Leyou’s expression was a little bad as he frowned slightly as he looked at the news.

Xue Rui was puzzled when he saw the message. "Wasn't the review criteria supposed to be a mystery? How come it seems to have been approved in an instant? And we're in the instance right now, right? This time..."

Lin Leyou said, "It is indeed very strange, but I can't find anyone to ask now. I'll have to find someone to ask after the dungeon ends to find out the specifics of the situation..."

Xue Rui: "Brother Lin, do you have any friends in the Public Order Security Bureau you can ask? Or can you call them for advice?"

Lin Leyou ruffled his hair roughly. "It's the person I met in Qingshui Town, the one I told you about. Later, we became acquainted. He was also a captain in the Executor team, and he was very strong."

Xue Rui: "Are you two very familiar with each other? Are you close? Are you even closer than I am?"

Lin Leyou's eyes were a little strange. "Why are you asking this? Of course we have a very good relationship. I even did him a big favor. He'll be grateful to me for the rest of his life."

Xue Rui's eyes narrowed slightly. "What important matter? Can you tell me about it?"

Lin Leyou didn't think too much about it. "What's wrong with talking about this? I helped him win over the person he's had a crush on for years. Don't you think that's a big deal? Shouldn't he owe me something?"

Xue Rui's previously somewhat dangerous gaze instantly turned harmless, "I helped him win over the girl he'd had a crush on for years..."

Lin Leyou stroked his chin. "I never expected that someone like him would have a crush on someone for so long. That person also became my friend a long time ago by some twist of fate. Both of them are my friends."

Xue Rui suddenly realized, "Brother Lin, the friend you mentioned wouldn't happen to be the one who came to Qingshui Town with us to escape for our lives, would it?"

If so, that's too much of a coincidence.

Lin Leyou nodded, "It's him. It's rare that you still remember him."

Xue Rui: "Yeah, I still remember it vividly. After all, it was the first time I'd ever been pursued so relentlessly. I never expected that they would actually become a couple. I'd like to offer my silent congratulations."

His first thought after learning about this was that Brother Lin didn't mind men being with other men!

Then he changed the subject, "So, for this instance... can I go with Brother Lin?"

Lin Leyou: "I don't know what's going on yet, and I don't know if there's some kind of conspiracy. Do I meet some unknown standard? I also don't know if people like you can enter this instance. If you can't..."

Xue Rui said, "If we can't get in, it's okay. I'll just go to other dungeons and see if Brother Lin can get anything good inside. These items look pretty good."

Lin Leyou sighed, "Judging from the time indicated in this message, it's tomorrow. In that case, after you finish this Happy Community instance, go back and prepare. I'll be going to this instance after midnight tomorrow, so remember to be on time."

Xue Rui nodded, "I know, hopefully in a dungeon..."

To be honest, Xue Rui was quite envious of these rewards; if he could successfully complete the game...

Lin Leyou put away her phone. "Alright, since you've made up your mind, let's not think about it anymore. Just relax and have some fun here for the next few days. You must be very tired at home, right? Treat this place as your paradise."

Xue Rui blinked but didn't say anything. Tired? He was indeed very tired, and for him, Lin Leyou's place was truly like a paradise.

He lay in bed, and perhaps because the person next to him was someone he trusted, he soon felt sleepy and fell asleep without realizing it.

Lin Leyou didn't disturb him after seeing that he had fallen asleep. Instead, she gently turned off the light, then lay down in her own spot, covered herself with the blanket, and went to sleep as well. They both needed to get some rest.

For some reason, after Lin Leyou closed his eyes, the image that appeared in his mind was the last scene of the previous dungeon, with Xue Rui lying quietly in his arms like a doll.

Lin Leyou opened his eyes and stared straight at the ceiling. Good, for some reason he couldn't sleep. What was wrong with him? Was he possessed?

He stared at it for a long time without feeling sleepy, and he didn't even know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he found himself being held in Xue Rui's arms, and Xue Rui was fast asleep.

He had just woken up and was still a little groggy. He blinked blankly for a moment, then looked up at Xue Rui, only then realizing that he was leaning against him, and...

Lin Leyou suddenly realized that Xue Rui seemed to have grown taller than him. Oh right, Xue Rui has grown up and is an adult now. He is only eighteen years old and should grow a little more.

Does that mean he can grow even taller? No, he probably doesn't have a chance. After all, he was only 1.8 meters tall in his previous life, and he's already 1.8 meters tall now.

By the way, how tall was Xue Rui in his past life? I don't know!

Although she didn't know, Lin Leyou had been in close contact with Xue Rui, and he was definitely taller than her, at least seven or eight centimeters taller!

Lin Leyou hesitated for a while, then stopped thinking about it. So what if he's tall? No matter how tall he is, he still has to call him Brother Lin, right?

He was about to turn over when he noticed Xue Rui's arm around his neck. After moving Xue Rui's arm away, Lin Leyou slowly turned over and lay back in his own position.

"Xiao Rui, are you awake?" he asked, yawning.

Xue Rui didn't pretend to be asleep either, "Um... good morning."

Lin Leyou: "What time is it? Why aren't you up yet?"

Xue Rui: "It's almost ten o'clock, Brother Lin, do you want to get up?"

Lin Leyou paused slightly, "It's ten o'clock?"

He lazily hugged his soft blanket, "How about I sleep a little longer and then get up to make lunch?"

Xue Rui didn't really want to get up either. In the real world, he would never do something like sleeping in late. His work and studies kept him so busy every day that he wished he had three heads and six arms.

They stayed in bed until noon and went to the kitchen together. However, Lin Leyou hadn't prepared many ingredients, so they had to make something simple to eat and then went to the supermarket together.

Xue Rui: "Can I go into the supermarket?"

Lin Leyou: "I don't know either, it probably won't work. Do you want to wait for me at home?"

Xue Rui shook his head, "It's okay, I can go out for a walk and wait for you downstairs. You'll see me when you come back."

Lin Leyou had no objection. "Alright, then you can walk around down there as you like. Every time the dungeon opens, the path down there, lined with ginkgo trees, will be as golden as it is now. It's always the most beautiful time."

Xue Rui looked out the window at the scenery, which was still the familiar golden yellow. "Indeed, it seems to be this beautiful every time I come here. I'll wait for you on the road below."

Lin Leyou: "Okay, let's go then."

When they went out, Lin Leyou skillfully grabbed two masks. "Here, put these on, so people won't remember your face. It would be troublesome if you were recognized elsewhere later."

Xue Rui then remembered that he was a player. If he were recognized or remembered here, it would indeed cause some trouble if they met in the real world or other instances.

Of course, he could pretend to be a player who came to clear this dungeon, but he didn't want to go through that trouble. Wearing a mask when going out would obviously be much safer and would save him a lot of trouble.

They went out one after the other and parted ways on the path lined with golden ginkgo leaves downstairs. Lin Leyou headed towards the supermarket, which was only accessible to residents of the community. Players were not allowed to enter, and Xue Rui, who had smuggled himself in, could not possibly get in either.
