Chapter 154 [(*^▽^*)]
A dangerous glint flashed in Xue Rui's eyes. If those people were really courting death and dared to attack him, he wouldn't mind letting them taste the flavor of explosive bullets.
Without blinking, Xue Rui handed over 300,000 points to the system, and then eagerly took the pistol out of his backpack and played with it in his hand.
Honestly, this gun is really cool!
No man dislikes firearms. Xue Rui's lips curled into a slight smile; he truly adored this pistol.
Moreover, hiding and playing with a handgun in the real world is really nerve-wracking, for fear of being seen by others!
After he had had his fill of playing with it, he carefully put the pistol into his backpack. In short, this thing absolutely could not be known to a second person; it had to be perfectly concealed.
He lay on the bed with his eyes closed, wondering if Lin Leyou had finished his work and gone home to rest.
Lin Leyou looked at the amusement park in front of him and sighed. After sending Xue Rui away, he could finally focus on his own mission.
The previous skull mask can no longer be worn; there's a three-day cooldown period!
It's alright, let them treat me like a player. Anyway, a lot of people have already seen me.
Lin Leyou walked forward slowly. To be honest, without Xue Rui around, hunting players became easier for him, but he didn't really intend to kill them all and wipe out the remaining players.
He would just wander around the amusement park, and if he encountered any players, he would randomly pick an arrogant, ill-mannered, and uncultured one and kill them.
If you're not interested, just pretend you didn't see them and let them go.
Over the next few hours, Lin Leyou only killed three players, which was more than many of his colleagues had killed.
Lin Leyou didn't know how many players were left in the amusement park, but after so long, there shouldn't be many left. When would she be able to finish her work?
He slowly strolled to a secluded corner of the amusement park, randomly chose a chair to sit down and rest, while waiting for the dungeon to end.
However... come to think of it, it seems that my role as the park guardian is only useful for hunting players.
Something just doesn't feel right.
Many of the other NPCs here are monsters, and they are quite efficient at killing players. As for my position as the garden guardian... it doesn't seem to matter much whether there are other people around.
Why is it written in such a hurry in the job posting?
It seems like the entire instance wouldn't function properly without the Garden Guardian NPC.
Lin Leyou hadn't thought about it carefully before because he had various things to do, but now that things had calmed down, he realized that the situation was a bit strange.
But there's something strange about it that I can't quite put my finger on.
Could it be that I've been tricked?
But who can calculate the recruitment of employees on their own system panel?
And then he just happened to run into Xue Rui in this instance, and then he accepted the quest to come to this instance?
Could it be Jiang Xiaoyue and the others?
It's only evening, and they're already going to deal with me so drastically?
No, no, no, that's impossible!
To achieve this, we must start with the arrangement of the instance, the instance's tasks, and the players participating in the instance.
But Jiang Xiaoyue and the others don't even know Xue Rui's identity, so this matter has absolutely nothing to do with them.
Besides, if their family really had the power to do that, they wouldn't need to use such a subtle way to scheme against me.
Just go and rob them directly; why make it so complicated?
However, if that's not the case, then does this NPC have some hidden quest to find?
Is it true or false?
Besides the quests for players, does an NPC have other quests that you need to trigger yourself?
Isn't this just like being a player?
How strange, really strange.
"System, how many players are left?"
Lin Leyou, as always, had no hope that the system could answer him, not knowing if it could.
But to my surprise, the system was as reliable as ever and told me the answer.
"Notice: There are 22 players remaining in the current instance. 15 players have cleared the instance, and 63 players have died!"
Lin Leyou blinked. He could actually ask the system!
That's good, there are only twenty-two players left.
Since that's the case, we just need to wait a little longer. These players who have survived until now, even if they haven't collected 5 stamps, shouldn't be useless.
He's wasting time here with his legs crossed; no other players will likely bother him in this corner.
He didn't want to actively seek out the remaining players; he'd rather let other NPCs kill them or complete the game himself.
But something strange happened: instead of him going to find the players, the players actually came to find him!
Just when he was about to wait quietly for the dungeon to end, a player actually entered the detection range of the item he was carrying.
A red figure appeared within his perception range in the mist—oh, not just one, then a second and a third appeared…
Lin Leyou counted carefully, and there were twelve of them! Of the remaining twenty-two players, twelve were here!
What happened?
What are they doing here?
Lin Leyou chose a spot in a corner of the amusement park, which was quite secluded. He came here specifically to rest and kill time, as there were no rides to enjoy.
Logically, players shouldn't be coming this way.
But now not only have they arrived, but twelve of them have come at once!
Lin Leyou didn't want to face them face-to-face here, nor did he want to go to war with them.
It wasn't that he was unwilling, but rather that he couldn't win. After all, he didn't really want to give up the points that were practically handed to him.
But reality is harsh; he can only use the cursed dagger now, which can kill one player at a time, but there are twelve of them!
He can only slash four times at most, killing four players. What about the rest? Won't the remaining players kill themselves?
There's no way I could possibly beat them in a group fight right now.
At most, he would quietly steal a few kills, then retreat before they could catch him, disappearing silently into the fog so they would never find him.
But that was under the condition that the players discovered him. Now, Lin Leyou got up, walked quietly to the side, and wanted to leave without disturbing them.
I just didn't expect that they would still find out.
"Who's over there!"
"What? Is anyone here?"
"Is it a monster? Should we go check it out? There are so many of us, we can kill the monster and get points!"
"Yes, a monster can be worth several hundred points. If each of us touches it, we can all get some in the end."
"It shouldn't be a monster, right? If it were, it would have attacked us already. Could it be another player?"
"No, that's not true. The other group of ten went in another direction. It's impossible for anyone to be alone and come here."
"We have twelve here, which is just right. It's definitely a monster, no doubt about it. What do you say, shall we do it?"
"Of course we want it! We can't let these hundreds of points slip through our fingers!"
Lin Leyou listened quietly to their discussion about killing him to get points, feeling a little uneasy. Was he really in this situation?
He thought about his identity and realized that in the eyes of the players, he really might just be a walking hundred points.
So, the players who chose to stay weren't unable to leave because they hadn't collected all five stamps, but simply wanted to hunt lone monsters in the amusement park's fog, right?
Lin Leyou knew that he couldn't possibly defeat such a large number of players by himself, so he simply turned around and ran away.
Instead of running around like a headless fly, he ran towards some amusement park ride.
"Footsteps! Over here!"
"It ran away! It ran away! Chase it! Chase it!"
"It's alright, I have some tools here that can roughly pinpoint the direction he fled in. This way! Chase him this way!"
"You're amazing! I really want that prop too..."
"There's nothing I can do, this is what I drew. You can also pray to the gods and Buddhas to let the store draw something good for you!"
Lin Leyou, expressionless, accelerated forward at full speed.
Come to think of it, this seems to be the second time I've run away in such a sorry state?
The first time was in Clearwater Town, when the dungeon was about to end, and I was still being chased by the berserk town mayor.
Unexpectedly, the second time came so quickly. The difference is that he is now an NPC, being chased and killed by a group of players who want to kill NPCs to gain points.
Lin Leyou had always been in a dominant position in his interactions with players, so he didn't have much experience with them.
But unexpectedly, this dungeon mission, which he had completely disregarded and was just a small dungeon to meet Xue Rui, actually taught him a harsh lesson!
Even worse, while the cursed dagger is indeed very useful, it's not suitable for group battles! If the players behind catch up, even if you manage to take down a few players, you'll definitely be doomed in the end.
"System, what will happen if I get killed by a player?"
"Notice: If you are killed by another player, the mission will fail, there will be no reward, the item around your neck will be taken by the player, and you will have to pay 100,000 points to the amusement park!"
What? !
Lin Leyou was shocked!
He didn't find the lack of reward for failing the mission harsh, but what he never expected was that this temporary item would be stolen!
They were robbed and they still have to pay for it themselves?!
In that case, he can just put the item back in his backpack later, right?
Anyway, even if those players catch up with him and kill him, they won't be able to take the items from his backpack.
As if the system knew what he was thinking, it gave him another prompt.
"Hint: This item will drop 100% of the time upon death."
"..."
Lin Leyou continued running forward in silence.
He was very fast. Although the players had items to guide them, they were still a step behind, and gradually he fell behind the other players in the team.
