Chapter 270 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with rage. He vowed in his heart that no matter whether the thing knocking on the door was a person or a ghost, he would kill it with one blow!
The soundproofing in this house is quite good, but it gets a little worse every time the Happy Community instance is activated.
It's not that he can hear every sound, but sounds from outside the window and door become very clear. He always felt that this was inappropriate, but he didn't know where to complain.
The knocking continued. Lin Leyou got up and walked to the door. Without looking through the peephole, he took out the cursed dagger from his backpack and prepared to swing it the moment he opened the door.
But in the instant he raised his hand, Lin Leyou forcefully put the dagger back into his backpack, though the people outside the door still saw it.
Lin Leyou was shocked because the person outside the door was none other than Xue Rui, whom she had just parted ways with in the escape room instance.
How did you get here?
He was genuinely shocked; that expression wasn't feigned.
Xue Rui smiled. "Brother Lin, aren't you going to invite me in?"
Lin Leyou nodded. "Come in."
Xue Rui changed into slippers, walked to the living room, and lay down on the sofa. "Brother Lin..."
Lin Leyou closed the door and went to the kitchen to get him some snacks. "Eat up. After you're done, tell me how you got them. Under normal circumstances..."
Players cannot participate in the same instance twice unless they possess certain items.
Xue Rui smirked, “When I was trying my luck, I drew a really good item. This item can locate a place I’ve been before. Once located, I can enter the instance when it opens, but I can only enter and cannot participate in the mission. After the instance ends, I will also leave.”
Lin Leyou blinked. "Is there a limit to the number of times?"
Xue Rui: "No, but each time I come here, it costs 1,000 points. The points depend on whether the location is special. This instance shouldn't be particularly special."
Lin Leyou said, "This prop is really very useful. It's a waste for you to use it like this, not to mention that it costs 1,000 points each time you use it. I don't really agree with that."
Xue Rui shook his head, "Brother Lin, I think it's great, I think it's great..."
For Xue Rui, only here can he feel comfortable, and only here can his mind and spirit be completely relaxed.
In the real world, he was almost unable to control his violent emotions and really wanted to secretly kill Xue Zhengyang and Du Anxian, that despicable couple!
And Xue Qian, that illegitimate son who enjoyed what originally belonged to him, I also want to crush him!
However, he couldn't do that. As the future de facto controller of the Xue family, he had already received some hidden information. It seemed that the country had established a special task force to manage the suddenly appearing participants in the game.
If he were exposed, he would likely be targeted by the state, which would make his future actions very inconvenient, and besides, Xue Qian...
He was certain that Xue Qian would take the initiative to attack him, and then no matter how he resisted, it would be considered self-defense, and thus it wouldn't be considered a crime.
Lin Leyou: "What's wrong? You miss me that much?"
Xue Qian nodded solemnly, "Brother Lin, I really miss it. I don't know why, but I can only sleep well when I sleep here."
Lin Leyou found it strange. When Xue Rui came to the Infinite World to participate in the dungeon, shouldn't he have been lying at home sleeping like a dead pig?
Well, this doesn't really count as sleeping, since my mind is still participating in thrilling and exciting dungeon games in this infinite world!
Lin Leyou really couldn't bear to see Xue Rui looking so pitiful. "Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Eat, wash up, and get some sleep. We can talk about everything tomorrow. As for the side bedroom you used to stay in, I..."
Oh no, he doesn't seem to have tidied up yet... wait! Or maybe he did?
Xue Rui, "What's wrong?"
Lin Leyou shook her head, "It's nothing, I'll go check on the side bed."
Xue Rui stood up. "Wait, there's no need for that. We can sleep together, so we don't need to prepare a separate room."
Lin Leyou remained silent for a while, then pondered for a long time. He wondered if he slept well at night, especially if his sleeping posture was bad...
Xue Rui, "Brother Lin, you don't want to?"
Lin Leyou sighed, "Alright, whatever you want. Hurry up and eat, then go wash up and go to sleep."
Xue Rui nodded, "Okay, Brother Lin."
He happily finished all the snacks, then went to the toilet to wash up and changed his clothes, which of course belonged to Lin Leyou.
Lin Leyou lay on the bed looking at his phone. The phone was still connected to the internet, but now that the dungeon was open, he could only look and couldn't do anything else.
When Xue Rui came out drying her hair, Lin Leyou hadn't turned off her phone. Xue Rui curiously lay down on the half of the bed that Lin Leyou had specially cleared out, then leaned over and rested her chin on Lin Leyou's shoulder. "Brother Lin, what are you looking at that interesting thing?"
The moment he got closer, he saw the news about the Infinite Square concert displayed on Lin Leyou's phone screen.
Infinite Square? Concert?
This news is indeed true; a concert is going to be held at Infinity Plaza to attract customers.
Lin Leyou: "There's going to be a concert at the square. I'll check the news, and if I have time sometime, I might go and see it."
Xue Rui said enviously, "I really want to go see it too."
Lin Leyou was silent for a moment, then said, "Well... I can't help you with that."
Players can only stay inside the instance. Xue Rui came to the Happy Community, which became the instance, with the help of items. During the instance's operation, not only Xue Rui, but even Lin Leyou could not get out.
Lin Leyou turned off her phone. "Okay, dry your hair and go to sleep. Remember, don't come here casually in the future. I'm not always home."
Xue Rui: "Then how can I confirm whether Brother Lin is home or not?"
Lin Leyou said, "I don't have any good solutions either. After all, if you don't come, we can't contact you by phone. If you do come, it's no use contacting you. I'm here or I'm not here."
After thinking it over, Lin Leyou took out one of her house keys and handed it to him, saying, "Take this. If you come over and I'm not home, just use this key to open the door."
Xue Rui was a little stunned, not expecting Lin Leyou to actually give him the house key. "This...this isn't quite right, is it?"
Lin Leyou said, "Just take it. What's wrong with that? This is my house anyway."
Xue Rui hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to accept it. He then discovered that the item could be put into his backpack. After checking inside the backpack, he found that it was the key to apartment 501, unit 1, building 5, Xingfu Community.
I don't know if this key can be retrieved in the real world, but it's unlikely. It can only be retrieved and used here.
Lin Leyou rubbed his head. "Alright, your hair's almost dry. Go to sleep. Your blanket's over there, don't take mine, okay?"
Xue Rui smiled and said, "I know, Brother Lin. I have a good sleeping posture and won't fight you for the bed."
Lin Leyou was a little worried because he didn't know if his sleeping posture would be good after he fell asleep. "That's good."
Lin Leyou trusted Xue Rui a lot and fell asleep soon, while Xue Rui was not sleepy at all. He had really only randomly swiped twice before.
He truly never expected that he would be able to draw such a good item, which locates places he has been before. In the future, whenever this dungeon is open, he can spend 1,000 points to come here.
However, he arrived here without an identity, essentially an illegal immigrant. He had no mission, was neither a player nor an NPC, and received no rewards for anything he did. But if he was killed, he would lose items, such as items or points from his inventory.
Fortunately, he still had Lin Leyou, so he could hide here when he needed to.
As he pondered, Xue Rui gradually became sleepy, and listening to the breathing sounds around him, he slowly drifted off to sleep.
As dawn broke, Lin Leyou snuggled closer to the soft blanket, slowly waking up. Seeing the faint light filtering through the gaps in the curtains, Lin Leyou knew it was daylight.
He yawned, got up and stretched, then looked at Xue Rui, who was sleeping peacefully to the side. He was indeed a good boy.
Lin Leyou got up and went to wash up first, then made breakfast in the kitchen. Of course, it wasn't anything complicated; she just boiled some noodles and cracked a few eggs.
After breakfast was ready, Xue Rui came out of his room. He scratched his messy hair and went to the bathroom. When he came out, he was a handsome young man looking refreshed.
"Brother Lin, is breakfast ready?"
Lin Leyou: "Hey... eat it."
Xue Rui happily ate her breakfast, saying between bites, "Brother Lin, with me here, you don't need to cook. Leave it all to me. I can't just eat, drink, and stay here for free, can I?"
Lin Leyou thought about it and agreed, "Alright, from now on, you'll be in charge of cooking."
Xue Rui: "Don't worry, I studied systematically while I was at home, I guarantee it will taste delicious!"
Lin Leyou: "Then I'll wait."
Actually, his cooking isn't bad, it's just... just not bad, the taste isn't great, it's just average.
He's overjoyed that someone is now cooking for him.
He checked the time; it was almost nine o'clock. If he wasn't mistaken, there should be a lot of players gathered outside by now, whether in the park or the square in the neighborhood, he didn't know.
I wonder if the procedures in Xingfu Community are still the same as before.
However, none of this mattered to them; one was an ordinary resident of the community, and the other had crossed the border illegally.
