Chapter 686 [(*^▽^*)]

Xue Rui returned home, and for a moment he felt a sense of loss, but it didn't matter, he could still use the ring to contact the person in his heart.

Lin Leyou tossed and turned in bed a few times. This SS-level difficulty dungeon was indeed unexpected, and the Soul Splitter Blade he chose was completely useless.

Even the earring item, Jin Yang, was useless; the only useful item was the ring. It seems that from now on, we can't use common sense to estimate the difficulty of all dungeons.

"Leyou..."

Lin Leyou immediately sensed the disappointment in Xue Rui's tone and quickly replied, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Xue Rui: "It's nothing."

Lin Leyou smiled, then asked with a smile, "Did you miss me?"

Although we had met before.

Xue Rui, "Yes!"

"You admitted it so quickly," Lin Leyou said, feeling a little embarrassed. "Would you like me to sing you a lullaby?"

Xue Rui paused for a moment. A lullaby? That didn't seem so bad. "Sure, I'd like to hear one."

Lin Leyou knew he would say that. "Okay, then don't think it sounds bad."

So she slowly sang him a lullaby. It was definitely off-key and absolutely awful, but Xue Rui still said in the end, "The best lullaby I've ever sung in my life."

Lin Leyou blushed slightly. It definitely didn't sound good; he could tell himself. But that's just how Xue Rui was; he wouldn't argue. "If you think it sounds good, then it's fine."

Lin Leyou rolled over on the bed, then felt something on his body. He touched his clothes and found something hard.

What's this?

He quickly sat up and then pulled out a red envelope.

Huh? A red envelope? Where did this red envelope come from...?

He remembered—wasn't this the red envelope his colleague, Number One, had given him in the dungeon? This red envelope was actually an item, and he could even bring it out with him.

He touched the red envelope; it still felt the same as in the dungeon. There seemed to be a card inside. Could it be an item card?

After opening the red envelope, he took out the prop card inside. Upon closer inspection, it was not what he had expected. This was not a prop card, but a talent card that he never dared to dream of!

This is actually a talent card!

After the initial excitement, Lin Leyou suddenly remembered that his colleague No. 1 had promised him a red envelope in exchange for helping him woo a rich woman. However, he felt like he hadn't done anything. By the end of the game, he didn't even know if his colleague No. 1 had actually won over the rich woman.

Could something have happened that I'm unaware of? If so... then it's not so bad, is it? And the contents of this red envelope should be random, right?

It could be an item card, a regular item, a weapon card, or even a gem card; it could range from white-grade to gold-grade equipment. And this talent card…

He was lucky to have drawn this one, and he had never thanked himself for his luck. But at this moment, he was kneeling on the bed and kowtowing to the headboard.

He used the talent card directly and quickly acquired yet another new talent.

"System notification: Congratulations to resident Lin Leyou for acquiring a new talent, Storm."

"Storm: After using this talent, a storm will occur within a 10-kilometer radius centered on the user, lasting for 24 hours, with a 10-day cooldown."

Lin Leyou was initially quite excited, but he quickly realized that this talent seemed rather useless. What use could this talent possibly be? To bring rain to arid regions?

Yeah, if there's a dungeon with a very ancient background, like in ancient times, where there's a drought and people pray for rain, you could cosplay as a Taoist priest praying for rain and easily become a national advisor!

Lin Leyou sighed deeply. Such talent seemed useless in dungeons, but... maybe it could be used in the real world?

We'll go to the arid regions and make it rain then.

After obtaining this talent, Lin Leyou's initial excitement about acquiring a new talent quickly faded, but he was still somewhat happy, since having something was better than not having it, right?

Such a storm might be useful if it were a replica at sea, but never mind, we'll deal with it later.

Lin Leyou continued chatting with Xue Rui until 1 a.m. before saying goodbye. Seeing that it was almost time, he clicked to match the character he was playing in the outfit, and only returned to the real world to sleep after that.

This time, he can rest for twenty-five days in the SS-level difficulty dungeon, which is fine. He can focus on special training with Qin Xingyu and also start moving.

The lease on the house expires in about two weeks, and now is the time for him to start preparing—not for anything else, but for what to add to the new house after moving in.

We can't just move there and then decide what to do. Actually, we can start looking now. Go out and explore more; you won't know you need to buy something until you see it for yourself.

Of course, I also need to buy some new clothes, otherwise my walk-in closet will look shabby with only a couple of outfits. I'm not the same person I used to be.

Unexpectedly, he received a message from someone he had almost forgotten about before he went to sleep.

It was a message from Qian Feng, but he didn't check it immediately; instead...

"I didn't expect to get my phone back from them so quickly. I wonder if Qian Feng has made contact with his family. Come to think of it, my younger brother should have been born by now..."

In about half a month, it will be a year since he was born. To be honest, this year has been really long. He can hardly remember what his biological parents look like now.

They haven't even tried to contact me for money in the past year, which is quite tolerant. Perhaps they were frightened by my previous outburst.

He opened the message from Qian Feng, initially thinking it was just some random thing, but to his surprise, Qian Feng was actually apologizing and begging for his forgiveness.

After watching for a while, Lin Leyou remembered that although Qian Feng got his phone back, he could only send messages under the supervision of staff. In fact, all messages had to be checked and confirmed to be safe before they could be sent. He deserved it.

However, knowing Qian Feng's current situation, Lin Leyou knew that his previous guess that Qian Feng could pull others into the endless world was true.

Most people keep their distance from Jue Rui in the Endless World. After all, most people in this world are ordinary, and only a very small number of people are ambitious. Among these few, only a small fraction are capable.

Those who are both capable and ambitious... well, that's only the government; that's where the most people are.

Many things in this endless world are decades more advanced than in the real world, whether it's medical equipment or the internet, and these are all things that the government craves.

After all, even an ordinary citizen can see in the news and newspapers the various blockades imposed on their country by foreign countries. If a breakthrough could really be found in these areas, I guess...

Lin Leyou sighed deeply. In this world, no one really agrees.

Qian Feng didn't know exactly how many people he could send into the Endless World, but for the authorities, it was definitely a rare opportunity, as they could choose who would enter.

After reading Qian Feng's message, Lin Leyou did not reply, but instead turned on airplane mode and went to sleep!

When he woke up, he saw that it was only a little past four o'clock. He could go to his new villa at this time. Although he was already very familiar with the interior decoration and layout of his new home, he still wanted to go back and check on it. It hadn't been cleaned in a long time; had it gotten dirty...?

When he went out at this time, it was still dark outside, but some shops on both sides of the street had already opened, especially breakfast shops. There were even some people who went to work early buying breakfast. Of course, there were also poor working people who had stayed up late and were just getting off work now, looking pale and miserable.

Lin Leyou went over and bought some breakfast: several large meat buns, red date soy milk, and a cup of black rice porridge. He had a big appetite these days, and although these things looked like a lot, they weren't enough for him.

However, it's not good to buy too many, otherwise people will look at you strangely and remember you.

Although he was wearing a mask, he still had to be careful, since this was the provincial capital, and Xue Rui also lived in this city.

By the way! I wonder how Xue Qian is doing now. As a player, if you fail to clear that dungeon in the previous game, you will have to deduct 50 million points.

Xue Qian had previously lost a lot of points in the Xiushan Village instance. When he encountered him and Xue Rui again, he failed again. He and Xue Rui are simply Xue Qian's nemesis!

Lin Leyou ate as he walked towards the villa area. It was quite a distance from here to the villa area, but it wouldn't take too long if he walked a little faster.

When he arrived at the gate of the villa area, he greeted the security guard and went inside. Although he hadn't been there many times, the security guard was already very familiar with him; he was a new homeowner in the community.

Lin Leyou hadn't expected him to walk. When she noticed the security guard's puzzled look, she knew it was time for her to buy a car.

I've already got my driver's license, I have a house, it's all renovated, and I even have a garage. Buying one car isn't enough; I could buy two or three.

The more he thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed. Although Lin Leyou had money, he still didn't plan to squander it. Perhaps he had been frugal his whole life in his previous life, and this habit was impossible to break.

Let's buy one, a good one.

He stayed in the villa for a while and found that there was indeed some dust inside, but it wasn't obvious. However, it would still need to be cleaned before moving in. There were still about fifteen days left before the rent expired, so there was plenty of time.

He didn't have much stuff in the rented apartment; his luggage consisted of just a few sets of clothes and some daily necessities. Moving would only require a backpack, and...

Many things that don't fit can be thrown away and replaced with new ones. I'm not afraid of wasting money at all. Although I don't squander money, I still have to buy good quality for many essential items.
