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 605 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou looked at the corridor outside and said, "I've already left. Tell me where you live quickly, and I'll come over now. I can try all sorts of things I've never done before along the way."
After hearing this, Xue Rui didn't say anything more. He just went outside to look at the house numbers around him and gave him a location.
Upon hearing this, Lin Leyou said, "Wait for me."
He then cut off the conversation with the black jade ring and began to focus on things he hadn't done before: pressing the button to take the elevator, hailing a taxi, opening the car door, getting in and out, talking to the driver, paying the fare, getting out of the car, asking for directions, and finally seeing Xue Rui at the designated location.
He walked over to greet Xue Rui, then took her hand, hugged her, and kissed her.
Lin Leyou replied directly, "I tried everything I could think of, which took a total of five minutes. Now I've used up ten minutes."
Xue Rui thought to himself that he had figured out the rule in just five seconds before: you can't walk backwards. He hadn't paid attention to this before, but when it came to actually following the rules, he had to be careful with his steps every moment, which was really tiring.
Moreover, if you try too hard, it will be easy for others to notice.
Xue Rui squeezed his hand. "It's okay, we'll find it eventually."
Lin Leyou sniffed, "It smells so good! Is that the night market you mentioned? Let's go get some late-night snacks."
Xue Rui sighed, it was such a pity that he couldn't eat it.
Lin Leyou, “We’ll buy a portion of everything we want to eat, and then buy some ingredients, and cook at your house, since your house is nearby.”
Xue Rui nodded, "Okay."
This place is called a night market, but it's actually just a wide street lined with stalls selling all sorts of things.
Lin Leyou took Xue Rui shopping here, buying something from almost every stall. Afterwards, they found a shop selling ingredients, went in and bought some, and then returned home with bags full of things.
Xue Rui opened the door, and Lin Leyou paused slightly outside, just standing there stunned.
"I can't come into your house."
The second rule is that you can't enter other people's homes for the first three days. He hadn't forgotten it, but he had overheard someone saying that there is a common area on each floor with tables and chairs where people can gather and eat.
However, Xue Rui had to go back to his home to cook the ingredients.
Xue Rui nodded, "We really can't go in, but it's okay. There's a public place over there where we can use it. Let's put our things there first."
Lin Leyou and his companion arrived at this public dining area. There were many tables and chairs, and only a few people were eating, presumably from the night market below.
Xue Rui said, "You wait here. I'll go home first and come over in a bit."
Lin Leyou nodded, "Okay, don't rush, take your time."
After Xue Rui left, Lin Leyou started opening the bags, taking a bite of each one he opened. After eating everything, he still hadn't found anything, wasting another five minutes of his time.
Lin Leyou then picked out his favorite foods to eat, feeling quite annoyed. He had paid for all of these things, and Xue Rui couldn't eat them. If Xue Rui didn't give him money, eating these things would mean eating something given to him by someone else, which would break the rules.
Of course, the ingredients Xue Rui bought and the food he made were the same. Lin Leyou couldn't eat them, because if he did, he would be breaking the rules. In other words, all the things on the table in front of him belonged to him.
An ordinary person would definitely not be able to finish it, but Lin Leyou is different. His physique and physical strength are there, and his digestive ability is very good. Although there is a lot of food, he bought the smallest portions and ate slowly, chatting as he ate, without any problems.
Fortunately, money can be used in all dungeon worlds.
As he ate, he began to find the food quite delicious. Although there were similar dishes in the real world, for some reason, they just didn't taste like the food in the Endless World.
I always felt something was missing, maybe it was something unscientific, after all, it's an endless world.
Xue Rui returned shortly with the food and sat down in front of Lin Leyou. "How is it? Is it good?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "The taste is not bad, but it's a pity, these are all mine, you can't eat them."
Xue Rui also felt a little regretful, "It really is a pity."
As they chatted, people scattered around them were also looking over, as if they felt that the table was covered with all sorts of things and it was quite a sight, so they took a second look.
As Xue Rui ate the food he had prepared, he had to admit that his cooking skills were quite good. The aroma was so enticing that he wanted to try a bite, but he just couldn't.
Actually, it's edible; you can eat it as long as you activate your own item card. However, you absolutely cannot waste the time allotted for using his item card, since he hasn't found his own unknown rules yet!
He quickly devoured a roasted chicken leg. "So delicious."
Xue Rui smiled and nodded, "Mine is delicious too."
Lin Leyou sat down next to him, stared at him intently for a moment, then leaned in and kissed him on the corner of his mouth. "Let me taste it..."
Xue Rui's eyes sharpened as he looked at Lin Leyou, but Lin Leyou just smiled at him without a care in the world, and from that expression, he knew that everything was fine.
Lin Leyou touched the ring. "It's okay. I opened it just now, and there was no notification. I stole it, not that you gave it to me. Maybe it's because this doesn't count as eating it yet."
Xue Rui then relaxed and continued eating.
Lin Leyou continued eating the food he had bought, all of which were the smallest portions. Although there was a lot of food, he finished it all. Except for some things that could be left for later, he packed them up again to take back and eat.
Because they bought a lot of things, the two of them ate there for a while. As time went on, they saw more people coming and going around them.
Fortunately, they were sitting in a corner, and although some people saw them, they didn't pay much attention to them.
After Xue Rui finished eating the food he had prepared, he cleaned up the dishes and placed them aside. Lin Leyou also packed up the empty plastic bag and threw it into the nearby trash can. The food he had packed up in front of him was the leftovers.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui sat on a chair with a backrest, leaning against each other and chatting using their black jade rings.
Xue Rui: "It seems your 'Unknown Death Rule' is rather unconventional."
Lin Leyou took a deep breath. "What should we do? Even if it's in a remote area, I think it should be something that happens in daily life, something that can be used almost every day."
Xue Rui said, "I do use both sugar and reverse techniques, but in daily life, people are used to it and don't pay special attention to it."
Lin Leyou: "Let me think... wait a minute... I don't smoke!"
Xue Rui: "This is not a behavior that everyone would do, but it is a common occurrence in the daily lives of most people."
Lin Leyou thought and thought but couldn't think of anything he hadn't done yet. "Oh well, as long as I encounter a move I haven't done before, I'll just activate the item card. I'll figure it out eventually."
Xue Rui was a little worried, "I'm afraid you'll subconsciously do that habitual action and won't even realize you need to open the prop card."
Lin Leyou was also worried about this, because Xue Rui was right. He was afraid that he wouldn't even realize that he needed to open the item card to do this action.
For example, turning your head and spinning around... Of course, I've done all of these things myself, so it's not true.
Xue Rui, "Shall we go for a walk?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "Okay."
Xue Rui took his bowl and chopsticks back and put them away, while Lin Leyou carried the food she hadn't finished eating and packed it up again, following him.
He waited at Xue Rui's door, and Xue Rui came out soon after.
Lin Leyou only then noticed the interior of the house. He smiled and said, "How come it's exactly the same as my house? Do you like my house's decor?"
Xue Rui: "This is my home."
Lin Leyou paused slightly. Yes, that's right. The most relaxing place for Lin Leyou was indeed his apartment in the Happiness Community.
Besides, the place he lives in in the real world is rented, not his. As for the villa, although it's been renovated to his liking, with all the furniture and appliances, he hasn't moved in yet; it's still being ventilated.
His hometown? To him, that wasn't his home at all; it was the home of that family of three. Come to think of it, so many months had passed; his younger brother should have been born by now.
I wish them a good life, but I've never been ripped off by them before. I don't know how long they can keep their money.
Is it still possible to buy a house in the town? You know, their town is very close to the city, so although it's a town, the house prices are comparable to those in the city, and they are extremely expensive.
They might still have enough money to buy it now, but the money they have is for raising their child, their precious son. If they spend all that money, they'll definitely have to go back to work.
No, someone needs to stay home to take care of the children, so only one person can go out to work, but...
His father, Lin Jiashu, returned to his hometown with compensation after being injured at a construction site and no longer planned to work. Now, he's being asked to go out and work?
Although he has recovered quite well, it is absolutely impossible for him to do heavy work again. It's not that he doesn't care, but that he's too old to do it.
Now we'll just have to wait and see. Maybe he'll receive messages from those two looking for him again. After all, they're too afraid to work and have run out of money. They'll probably have to look for their eldest son, who ran away from home years ago, to see how he's doing now, and see if they can squeeze some money out of him to spend, and then leech off him like bloodsuckers.
Lin Leyou smiled slightly as he watched Xue Rui come out. "Let's go."
If that couple were to secretly contact him, he would never give them a single penny in his life!
Xue Rui looked at him. "You don't look too good. Did you think of something?"
