Chapter 259 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou watched Xue Rui leave his music room, and since no more players would enter his music room after the quest items were taken, he simply stopped worrying about the twelve-hour rule every day.
He walked to his own lounge, pressed a button on the wall, and a passage appeared. He breathed a sigh of relief, went inside, and it was time to lie down.
And you need to wash up properly, after all, you just killed so many players outside, you're covered in blood, dirty and sticky, it's really uncomfortable!
After washing himself clean, Lin Leyou lay on the bed and casually asked the system, "System, how many players are left?"
"System notification: 66 players remaining."
Lin Leyou blinked. Only half a day had passed, and more than thirty people had died. At this rate, they might all be dead in about two days.
That's impossible. At least forty or fifty people should remain, since most of them are likely skilled. Those who died in the early stages were the weaker ones who were selected.
The remaining ones are all quite strong and I estimate they can hold out until the end. I just don't know how many players will be able to clear the game and leave, and whether I'll have to stay here for so long before I can leave.
He hugged the soft, comfortable pillow and asked, "System, will more players enter the music room later?"
"System notification: The music room is now closed."
Lin Leyou sighed. He knew that no more players would come. After all, the quest items had already been taken, so it was normal not to allow players to enter.
"System, am I supposed to just lie here until the end of this instance?"
"System notification: Other tasks will follow later."
Lin Leyou blinked. Huh? There are other tasks?
"Wouldn't that be considered extra compensation?"
"System notification: Killing a player will earn you 200 points!"
Lin Leyou immediately lost interest. "Are you suggesting that once all these players reach the gate, I should kill them and stop them? These players are the most powerful ones selected. Do you want me dead?"
This time, the system did not reply.
Lin Leyou: "System, tell me what the mission is."
"System prompt: At the exit gate, try to intercept and kill players. All the mini-bosses in the secret room that have not been killed will pass through."
Lin Leyou thought to himself, "Wow!" So if these players don't kill the monsters or mini-bosses they encounter while they're solving puzzles at the beginning of the game...
Finally, after obtaining all the quest items, they went to the gate. Just when they could leave by opening the gate, they discovered that the monsters they had ignored to avoid trouble or wasting time were all piled up at the gate, waiting for them to meet their doom.
Lin Leyou was really looking forward to seeing what kind of expressions the players would make at that moment; he really wanted to see it.
Lin Leyou blinked. "System, if I sit in front of the piano for twelve hours every day, does that mean I don't have to?"
The system didn't respond immediately, probably because it was calculating, which caused a slight pause. Fortunately, the final answer was what he wanted to hear: "System message: Not needed."
Lin Leyou then lay back on the bed with a smile, took out her phone to play, and sent some messages to Xue Rui to see what he was doing.
Xue Rui replied quickly, "Brother Lin, are you alright now?"
Lin Leyou: "The mission items I was protecting have been taken by you. Now I'm just sitting in the rest room with nothing to do."
lounge?
Xue Rui was a little surprised. It turned out that after finishing the BOSS work in this dungeon, you could still rest, and there was even a special rest room!
"Brother Lin, what's in the lounge?"
Lin Leyou looked at his rest room. It was small but complete. Of course, there was no place to cook. It was just a temporary resting place, but there was a large refrigerator.
He got up, went over and opened the refrigerator. It really had everything he could want. He casually took a picture and sent it to Xue Rui.
Xue Rui smiled helplessly when he saw it. Sometimes Brother Lin seemed a bit childish, but thinking about it, it was normal. Although Lin Leyou was a year older than him, it didn't seem like they were that much older.
Later, when he becomes stronger, maybe he can just call me Xiao You? Or let Brother Lin call me Xiao Rui!
Xue Rui: "That sounds great, I want to eat it too."
Lin Leyou took a piece of cake and a bottle of water, then grabbed a few packets of snacks from the snack shelf next to the refrigerator and went to the sofa to eat them on the coffee table.
"We can't eat it now."
Xue Rui: "When can we eat it?"
Lin Leyou said, "You'll be able to eat it when you get back."
Xue Rui was taken aback. Actually, Lin Leyou was right. It was true that they could eat it when they got home, but he wasn't very interested in the food in the real world.
However, if these things appeared on Lin Leyou's side, he would be more likely to accept them.
Xue Rui: "That's right. If there's a chance, we must invite Brother Lin to our home! My home!"
Lin Leyou, "Your home?"
He paused for a moment. It seemed that Xue Rui now truly had a home of his own, a home that belonged only to him, just like his own.
The villa he bought before was in the same neighborhood where Xue Rui used to live. This neighborhood is relatively new, so Xue Zhengyang and the others probably haven't lived there for many years.
You must have lived somewhere else before, right?
Forget it, I don't want to think about it.
Xue Rui: "Yes, I'll be an adult soon. The house was a gift from my respected elder, it's very nice!"
Lin Leyou: "If I have the chance, I'll definitely go and take a look. I might even stay at your place for a while. Would that be nice?"
Upon seeing this, Xue Rui smiled knowingly, then turned the corner and saw the familiar figure ahead: Wu Feng.
Wu Leng was killed by Lin Leyou with Xue Rui's help, while Wu Feng escaped quickly, and the props he used were definitely not cheap.
Now that the two sides have met, Wu Feng is very cautious, but he doesn't attack. However, his gaze can hardly be described as friendly.
Xue Rui didn't look at the phone screen, blindly typed "Of course" to Lin Leyou, and then secretly put the phone away without being noticed by Wu Feng, who was far away.
Seeing his evasive manner, Wu Feng assumed he was hiding some weapon or prop, waiting to kill him by surprise.
To my surprise, Xue Rui quickly smiled and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Wu Feng's lips twitched. Even at this point, this person still wanted to get on his good side.
"What do you mean?"
Xue Rui: "It's nothing. Since we've run into each other, let's go together."
Xue Rui found that his skin seemed to have thickened a lot, but that was normal. After all, the more dungeons you complete, the more you need these... down-to-earth skills.
Wu Feng, however, had no intention of going with him. He sneered and mocked, "Go with you? I don't intend to let you trick me to death!"
He hadn't forgotten that his younger brother was the one who got him killed. But now that he was here, did that mean he had obtained the quest item from the music room?
Wu Feng's expression changed upon realizing this. "You got that thing?"
Xue Rui nodded, "Yes."
This is obvious and there's no need to hide it. Anyone with a brain could figure it out.
I don't know what Wu Feng was thinking. He was just refusing, but now...
"In that case, let's go together."
Xue Rui was taken aback. "Aren't you afraid I'll do something underhanded?"
Wu Feng: "So, do you resort to underhanded tactics?"
Xue Rui: "It's hard to say, maybe yes, maybe no."
Wu Feng gritted his teeth, "So you're playing me?"
Xue Rui shook his head. "No, I just happened to run into you on the road, so I invited you to walk together. But players often end up betraying each other even when they're walking together, don't you know that?"
Wu Feng's breath hitched slightly. How could he not know? He had done this many times before, but he never expected that this time someone would bully him.
He suppressed his anger and said, "Then let's go."
Since Xue Rui is being so impolite, then he doesn't need to be polite either. Want to make a move? Then let's see who comes out on top in the end!
Do you really think he's made of clay?
Just as Wu Feng was wondering when would be the best time to make his move, Xue Rui slowly walked towards him. When they reached Wu Feng, the two of them walked forward in the direction Wu Feng had just walked.
This was actually Xue Rui's original route, since it was the only road here.
Wu Feng was very wary of Xue Rui, and even while walking, he maintained a safe distance from him, which Xue Rui didn't seem to mind.
The two continued walking peacefully, and soon another door appeared in front of them. This door did not require solving a puzzle to enter; they could simply push it open.
They just didn't know what awaited them inside that door.
Wu Feng: "Shall we go in?"
Xue Rui: "Of course we'll go in. Otherwise, why would we turn back? One path is the one you came from, and the other is the one from the music room. We don't have a choice."
Wu Feng nodded with a grim expression, "Then let's push the door open. Hopefully, the challenges inside will be a little easier."
The two of them went up to the door and pushed it open from the left and right. A large swimming pool came into view. The door closed behind them. They subconsciously looked back and then continued to observe the swimming pool.
There are people in the swimming pool: three women in bikinis and three men in swim trunks. Are these six people NPCs or players?
Upon seeing the two, they waved enthusiastically at them.
Xue Rui immediately realized that these people were not human, but NPCs!
Wait a minute! NPCs aren't necessarily not human; maybe they are? Just like Brother Lin...
Xue Rui's thoughts took a brief moment to wander before returning to their original state.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? Are you here to learn to swim?"
The woman who walked towards them and spoke to them was incredibly fit and wearing a very revealing swimsuit.
Xue Rui didn't seem to notice anything; he was cold and wary of everyone.
