Chapter 91 [(*^▽^*)]

Fan Qing then left the area and went to look for the girl in the direction Lin Leyou had pointed out. He hoped that the mother and daughter would be alright, provided that they were okay.

In the afternoon, Lin Leyou met Yao Mo and Qin Jiao waiting at the edge of the community square. They were huddled together, talking about something.

To his surprise, Lian Yushan and Tang Zhengchu, who had parted on bad terms with them that morning, were also there. The four of them seemed to be chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite nice.

When they spotted Lin Leyou, the harmonious atmosphere seemed to be shattered instantly. The five of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere became quite awkward.

Lin Leyou didn't care about that. He walked steadily up to them and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you stop talking when you saw me? Could it be... that you were talking badly about me behind my back?"

Upon hearing this, the four of them were genuinely taken aback. Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow, "What? Did I guess right?"

His gaze fell on Lian Yushan and Tang Zhengchu. "Are you here to sow discord?"

Lian Yushan instinctively wanted to refute, but Tang Zhengchu pulled him behind him and said with a smile, "No, that's not true. We were indeed talking about you, but we didn't say anything bad about you."

Lin Leyou's gaze fell on Yao Mo. "What happened?"

Yao Mo sighed, "Don't worry, it's not what you think."

"They came to us seeking cooperation."

Lin Leyou had no particular idea. "How would we cooperate?"

Although he doesn't usually lose his temper, it doesn't mean he doesn't have one. Perhaps due to the influence of the Endless World, his personality has become much colder.

But if someone provokes him, he is not incapable of taking action.

Qin Jiao said, "They came to us to inquire about the security guards' capabilities. They tried to talk to the other NPC security guards, but they ignored them. They had no choice but to come to you."

Lin Leyou suddenly realized, "So that's how it is? But... is it really okay? What if I keep all the items for myself?"

His tone was flat, but there was an inexplicable sarcasm in it.

Tang Zhengchu smiled ingratiatingly, "This is definitely yours. We can also buy it with money. What do you think?"

Lin Leyou said, "Everyone is not rich now, especially when it comes to items. We can't afford the better ones in the store. The only way to get good items is through dungeons."

"Are you really going to let me take these props? You want to pay for them, but what if I don't agree? I want the props too."

They practically said, "I want the props, I won't sell them to you poor bastards who aren't rich yet."

Qin Jiao and Yao Mo initially thought Lin Leyou was an easy person to talk to, but after getting to know him better, they discovered that he was actually someone who was unyielding and stubborn.

This is not a good solution.

Lin Leyou changed the subject, "Besides... as I just said, none of us are rich, we don't have many points, and we probably don't have much money either, right?"

"Furthermore, the pricing of items is also a problem. Items obtained from dungeons are basically not available in the shop, and the better the item, the less likely it is to be available. If the price is too low, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage? A huge disadvantage!"

Qin Jiao said, "Oh, don't be so serious. Many things need to be discussed. We're not unreasonable people, Brother Lin. How about this?"

"Let's find all the evil spirits we can and kill them first. We can save the items and stuff for later and then divide them up when we've got enough."

Lin Leyou asked, "Should I put them all here?"

Qin Jiao nodded, "Yes, yes, yes."

The other three didn't seem to have any objections either.

Lin Leyou said, "What if I keep it all for myself? It's all in my backpack, you can't take it even if you want to."

Qin Jiao smiled without saying a word, and Tang Zhengchu said, "So we can sign a contract."

Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment. A contract?

My first reaction was...

Do you have the necessary tools for this?

Tang Zhengchu: "Impressive! You noticed it immediately. I do have such a tool. All I have to do is write the content on it and have everyone sign it."

Lin Leyou thought it over and over, "You all think it's okay?"

Qin Jiao: "We don't think there's any problem. Now it's up to you."

After saying that, she even gave Lin Leyou a flirtatious wink, but Lin Leyou didn't fall for it at all, so the wink was wasted.

Qin Jiao felt somewhat dissatisfied. What was wrong with this man?

Lin Leyou thought for a moment, "Of course you have no objections, after all, this contract is binding on me, and it benefits you."

Tang Zhengchu said, "Hey, Brother Lin, you can't think like that. We have props that can roughly pinpoint the location of the evil spirit. What do you think?"

Without a second thought, Lin Leyou said, "Deal."

His biggest headache right now is how to find these evil spirits. If there were any tools that could locate the evil spirits, he would be extremely grateful.

Why didn't you say so sooner?

His attitude changed so quickly that none of the four of them could react.

Tang Zhengchu was also a little stunned. "Ah... this isn't something you can just say casually. Doesn't it all need to be discussed?"

Lin Leyou nodded, "To what extent can this prop be located?"

Tang Zhengchu looked at Lian Yushan, and with a cold snort, said, "Can you pinpoint which building?"

Lin Leyou stroked his chin. "That's not bad either. At least it narrows down the scope a lot. But just knowing the location isn't enough."

Qin Jiao: "Yes, the most important thing is, what if those evil spirits see us standing still?"

Lin Leyou thought of Xue Rui, who was still at his home. What would happen to Xue Rui if he signed a contract with these people?

Ultimately, however, Xue Rui had already profited from this dungeon, since he obtained a talent.

Is this talent card only obtainable once, or can it drop every time a dungeon refreshes? Never mind, I'll see later; thinking about it now is unrealistic.

At this moment, a piece of paper with a faint white glow appeared out of thin air in Tang Zhengchu's hand. The top and bottom edges were slightly curled inward, giving it a rather sophisticated look.

"I've got it all ready. Take a look, and if there are no problems, you can sign it."

Lin Leyou leaned over to take a look. The terms were very simple: cooperate to kill the evil spirits, and all the items would be placed with Lin Leyou first.

If the number of props before the group disbands is three or less, they will all be given to Lin Leyou. If there are four, Lin Leyou will take three, and the fourth will be given to them, with them deciding who to distribute it to.

If the number of items increases, distribute them in the same way as above.

Lin Leyou, "What do you mean?"

Tang Zhengchu said, "To put it bluntly, for every four props, you keep three for yourself and give us one."

"If there are four, you keep three and we take one. If there are eight, you keep six and we take two. If there are five, six or seven, then we only need to take one."

Lin Leyou, "So it's calculated in groups of four. If there are four or more, you get one; if there are fewer than four, you don't get one. Is that what you mean?"

Tang Zhengchu: "That's right, how about that, pretty good, right?"

Lin Leyou: "No problem."

However, he wanted to change the contract. Although he didn't find any loopholes, he still felt uneasy.

Finally, the distribution method of the props in the contract was changed to: the props would be divided into groups of four, with Lin Leyou receiving three and the other four receiving one. If there were fewer than four props, they would not be divided into groups and would all belong to Lin Leyou.

Seeing this, Lin Leyou was very satisfied. "Sign it?"

Tang Zhengchu and Lian Yushan exchanged a glance, and just as they were about to sign, Lin Leyou stopped them again.

Yao Mo, "What's wrong?"

Lin Leyou looked at the contract, and it should indeed be fine, but why did he still feel that something was wrong? Was it just his imagination?

He thought and thought but couldn't come up with anything, then shook his head and said, "Sign it."

All five names were written down. Lin Leyou was the last to write. Holding the paper in his hand, he asked, "After I finish writing my name, what will happen to this paper? Who will have it?"

Tang Zhengchu said, "After you finish writing, the paper will turn into light and disappear, which means the contract is established."

Lin Leyou nodded, wrote down the name Lin Nanyue, and the paper disappeared from his palm. It was that simple?

So the contract is now established? How come he doesn't feel anything?

Qin Jiao clapped her hands. "Alright, alright, let's get to work now. First, use the props to find the approximate location of the evil spirits. We need to kill as many as possible before this security guard goes off duty."

Lian Yushan turned and walked towards Building 1. "Let's go, it's better to look for them in order."

Lin Leyou said, "I'll follow behind you at a distance so they don't notice me and I can hide beforehand."

Qin Jiao blew him a kiss, "No problem, Brother Lin, let's go first. If there are any problems, I'll give you a signal, and you can wait outside."

Lin Leyou nodded, and only after watching them walk away did he slowly walk into the green belt and follow them from a distance.

Lin Leyou took out her phone and saw a message from Xue Rui. He had rested at home and was about to go out. After thinking for a moment, she said, "You stay at home for now."

Xue Rui stopped, her hand hovering over the door. "What's wrong?"

Lin Leyou: "Those strange people I told you about this morning insist on cooperating with me, saying they can find evil spirits and ask me to help them kill them."

Xue Rui was speechless. These players were mistaking Lin Leyou for a player who had obtained a security guard status.

"Brother Lin, what did they say?"

Lin Leyou didn't hide anything, "They said they have a gadget that can detect the approximate location of evil spirits. That's great, I want one too, it would be so convenient to have it."

Xue Rui was silent for a moment, then said, "It is indeed quite good."

Lin Leyou, "The afternoon might be quite busy, it depends on their luck. In any case, you shouldn't go out for now, just stay at home."

Xue Rui wanted to go out and look for clues, but he still agreed, "No problem."

He put away his phone, thinking that those players were really blind, unable to even tell if others were players or not.
