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 568 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou looked at the braised duck, the fried noodles he had packed, and the huge grilled fish on the coffee table in front of him, and fell silent.
Compared to Xue Rui, my diet seems a bit unhealthy.
Lin Leyou thought for a moment and replied somewhat guiltily, "I ate duck noodles, and the taste was pretty good."
Duck parts with fried noodles, or duck meat noodles, should be fine, right? He thought somewhat irresponsibly.
Fortunately, Xue Rui didn't suspect anything. When he heard "duck noodles," the first thing he thought of was duck soup noodles with some vegetables. "It really sounds good. It smells delicious."
Lin Leyou said, "Let's eat together next time."
Xue Rui said, "I can learn to make it, and then we can make it ourselves."
Lin Leyou: "That works too!"
He munched on a duck wing and then took a bite of fried noodles. It tasted so good. Even if it were from a roadside stall, he wouldn't have been willing to eat it in his past life. Now he could eat as much as he wanted.
This jade ring is great for communication; the sound of me eating won't be transmitted, otherwise I would definitely be exposed.
After confirming that Xue Rui had already eaten, Lin Leyou chatted with him about ordinary things for a while before ending the call, and he also focused on watching the TV series.
To be honest, the movies and TV shows at this time are really good. I didn't have the chance to watch them in my previous life, but now... after learning a lot of practical and ruthless moves from Qin Xingyu, I feel that many of the moves in movies and TV shows are flashy but impractical, but they are still very entertaining!
Not long after, his phone rang. He leaned over to look at it, and it wasn't a call or a message, but a QQ number. It was Qian Feng contacting him.
That being said, only three players survived the previous Haitang Village instance, and Qian Feng was not among them, so what's the purpose of contacting him now?
"Lin Leyou, are you there?"
After staring at it for a while, Lin Leyou didn't intend to reply. He turned his gaze back to the TV and happily munched on the duck. This kind of blissful life was truly leisurely.
However, Qian Feng certainly wouldn't give up easily. He currently has 300,000 points of debt, and I wonder if he's found some good way to contact ordinary people.
"I know you must have seen this. Reply to me, I have some very important good news to tell you, really great news! You'll definitely be interested."
Lin Leyou paused slightly. He had indeed seen it, but he didn't want to reply. But what was this great news? Was it related to the Endless World?
What do you want from me?
After thinking for a while, Lin Leyou replied, wanting to see what Qian Feng was thinking.
Qian Feng is certainly not at his wit's end yet, after all, he still has a month to go. However, he was terrified when he was in Haitang Village, and now he is anxiously staring at the words "debts to be repaid" on the page.
Fortunately, he still had a way. This all comes down to a special item he drew after becoming a player. This item was a gold-tier item, but it was different from other gold-tier items.
This is neither a weapon nor an auxiliary tool, it's just...
"Lin Leyou, I have a deal here that you're guaranteed to make. Are you in? If you do it with me, you'll have more money than you can spend!"
If I survive, I'll have more money than I can spend.
Lin Leyou's first thought was the Endless World. He had always thought that becoming a player was a random selection by the system, but he never expected that Qian Feng would have a way to make ordinary people become players.
"What do you mean? Let me tell you, I would rather starve to death than do anything illegal or criminal."
Qian Feng was slightly taken aback after seeing the reply. "That's not what I meant."
"Then tell me, besides the methods written into law, what else can you get an endless supply of money?"
Qian Feng, "Where are you now? I'm coming to find you and talk to you in person!"
Lin Leyou sneered. Regardless of Qian Feng's plans, it seems there are still many restrictions on turning other people into players, such as face-to-face interaction.
"So that's why you suddenly contacted me about making big money. Turns out you were trying to find out my location. Forget about it. And tell the person who asked you for help that I will never tell anyone my location!"
Qian Feng was stunned when he saw Lin Leyou's reply.
"No, you've misunderstood! I just admire you for escaping all by yourself. I'm the same way. I have a way to make money now, and I just don't want to forget you!"
Lin Leyou stroked his chin. "Could Qian Feng's actions be considered a pyramid scheme?"
If we report Qian Feng to Guo Xia... wouldn't the fact that Qian Feng owes the system 300,000 points cause trouble for Guo Xia and the others?
But... if left unattended, Qian Feng will definitely target other people. Who are the people Qian Feng knows in this circle who he can fool?
Former classmates, neighbors, or even some close friends.
It's alright if Qian Feng dies, but if he harms others, then that's an unforgivable crime. Oh well, no matter what, he should still talk to Guo Xia. For this reason... he should obtain more evidence.
"Then tell me, what exactly do you do? If you don't give me a clear explanation, I absolutely won't believe you!"
"You know how much effort it took me to escape from that house!"
Seeing that Lin Leyou hadn't completely cut off contact with him, Qian Feng felt a little relieved. "I'll call you! Give me your number."
Lin Leyou: "Use Penguin Call."
Qian Feng knew he didn't want to give him his phone number, but it was fine, "Okay!"
A call request quickly appeared on the phone screen, and Lin Leyou clicked to answer, "Go ahead and say it."
Qian Feng said, "Let me tell you, I know a big boss here, someone who does big business, international trade, you know? Such a big company, and he's thinking of setting up a branch here!"
Lin Leyou sneered. This flawed explanation could only fool people who knew nothing about this subject. And even if someone knew nothing, anyone with a little common sense wouldn't be fooled.
Would a multinational corporation hiring an 18 or 19-year-old high school graduate to run a branch office in mainland China? Is that even possible?
"Go on, I'm listening."
Qian Feng was really just grasping at straws, hoping Lin Leyou would believe him!
"Don't you believe me? I saved this big boss. He almost got hit by a car while crossing the street, and I pulled him back. As a result, he said he would send me to a branch office to be a senior executive. I only thought of you because I saw that you ran out alone and didn't have a good job or any money. So, are you coming or not?"
"Let me tell you, this is a great opportunity. You'll never get another chance like it if you miss it. I'll arrange a manager position for you, with a monthly salary of twenty to thirty thousand! Plus bonuses!"
At this point in time, such a salary is indeed very good. "Are you serious?"
If Lin Leyou hadn't encountered the Endless World, this job would indeed have been very attractive. In Qian Feng's view, it would be strange and problematic if he refused.
"Isn't that right? Let me tell you, it's only you I'm talking about; I wouldn't tell anyone else!"
Lin Leyou asked suspiciously, "Such a good opportunity, why didn't you get it for your family? Instead, you gave the job to me?"
Qian Feng said, "You don't need to think about it. Of course, I've arranged jobs for my family as well. But as you know, most of my family members are older, so they do some menial jobs. There are very few young people in my family."
He rattled off a long list of reasons, basically trying to get Lin Leyou to discuss the matter with him face-to-face.
Lin Leyou, "Did you trick me into going back, and then contact my family to have me arrested and taken back with you?"
Qian Feng was silent for a while before saying, "Don't worry, I ran away myself. I have no intention of going back. If I contact them, wouldn't I be arrested and taken back too?"
Lin Leyou blinked. "What you said seems to make sense. So, where do you want to meet?"
Qian Feng said, "How about this park across from our old high school? I'm in the vicinity right now, text me when you get there!"
Lin Leyou: "Okay, then wait for my news. I have something to take care of here. I'll come over once I've finished."
Qian Feng probably thought the matter was settled, "Alright, I'll wait for you!"
After hanging up, Lin Leyou immediately dialed Guo Xia's number.
"Officer Guo?"
Guo Xia was puzzled. "Mr. Lin? You were looking for me..."
Lin Leyou briefly recounted what had just happened, "Officer Guo, do you think my classmate got involved in a pyramid scheme?"
Guo Xia pondered for a moment and then asked, "What did you say your classmate's name was?"
Lin Leyou, "Qian Feng".
Guo Xia: "...Do you have any photos?"
Lin Leyou thought for a moment, "Yes, he has photos on his QQ account. Do you want me to find them for you?"
Guo Xia: "No problem, take a picture and send it to me."
Lin Leyou: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, he found Qian Feng's photo and sent it to Guo Xia. The Haitang Village instance had only ended a few hours ago for them.
Even if Qian Feng has a bad memory, he should still remember Qian Feng, who was one of the ten new players.
After receiving the photos sent by Lin Leyou, Guo Xia confirmed that this Qian Feng was the same Qian Feng she had seen in the dungeon, and immediately called Lin Leyou again.
"Mr. Lin, could you tell me more about it?"
Lin Leyou: "No problem, I just found it strange, so I told you..."
He recounted everything Qian Feng had said on the phone, "That's roughly what happened."
He also told Guo Xia where Qian Feng was going to meet him, "and said that I should contact him as soon as I arrived, and he would come to meet me immediately."
Guo Xia: "Okay, no problem. I'll send someone over. Once our people are all set up, just send him a message saying you've arrived."
Lin Leyou: "No problem... By the way! Officer Guo, there's something I need to tell you in advance."
