Chapter 273 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou didn't really care what was knocking on the door. He figured it was either a ghost or a player. If it were an NPC, it would definitely speak.
Xue Rui put down what he was holding and walked to the door, looking out through the peephole. "Nothing there."
Lin Leyou said, "Those are either evil spirits or players. Don't worry about them. If you ignore them, they won't be able to break in."
Xue Rui: "But that would be annoying. What if they knock on the door again? Or should they knock on the door every now and then?"
Lin Leyou said, "If that's the case, then we should open the door and kill it. Anyway, it's not anything powerful. However, since we are all relatively ordinary people now, it's better not to take action unless absolutely necessary."
Xue Rui: "Actually, that's what I think too."
But what about the precious time he has with Lin Leyou? If he's disturbed by these things, he'll be in a bad mood, and when he's in a bad mood, he'll want to kill something.
Although there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, he feels that every time he comes here is precious, because he doesn't know if he will meet Lin Leyou every time he comes, and he is also unsure when each instance will end.
If the player isn't very skilled, they might finish the dungeon in a day or two, which would be a huge waste.
We didn't have much time together to begin with, and now these clueless people are bothering us. "Brother Lin, leave it to me. It's a small problem for me anyway."
Lin Leyou recalled how cautious he was when he was first drawn into the Happy Community instance and faced the first evil spirit that came knocking on his door. Although he eventually killed the evil spirit easily, he would never forget the heart-pounding feeling. Even now, thinking back on it, he still feels nervous.
Despite his nervousness, he wasn't afraid to face these evil spirits now.
"Do whatever you want. You won't get any reward for killing these evil spirits anyway."
Xue Rui said, "As long as they don't bother us, that's the best reward."
Lin Leyou suddenly felt something was off. "Did something happen to you?"
Xue Rui paused for a moment, his expression seemed a little off, but he quickly returned to normal, and Lin Leyou didn't notice the change in his expression.
"What else could it be? I'm just feeling a bit annoyed by some things and want to find a quiet place to relax. Brother Lin's place is perfect."
Lin Leyou nodded, "I see? Then come anytime. I've already given you the key, so you're welcome to come anytime."
Xue Rui smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Lin Leyou said, "However, each visit will deduct 1,000 points. If you want to come see me often, you'll have to work hard to earn more points."
Xue Rui: "I know that. I will definitely work hard to earn more and more points, until I can ignore the 1,000 points for travel expenses."
Lin Leyou: "That's good."
As soon as Lin Leyou finished speaking, the knocking sounded again. Xue Rui, who was standing at the door, immediately opened it and swung the dagger in his hand at the outside.
The dagger was a gold-plated weapon, and the evil spirits outside certainly couldn't withstand the attack of a gold-plated weapon. Sure enough... even though the evil spirits were extremely fast, he only saw a glimpse of them when he opened the door.
But he was faster and still managed to slash the demon.
Enraged by the wound, the demon clung to the wall, its limbs firmly planted, looking down at Xue Rui with a growing fury in its bloodshot eyes.
Xue Rui almost laughed. This thing actually dared to get angry. Shouldn't he be the one who should be angry?
He toyed with the dagger in his hand. He knew that this evil spirit was wary of the owner of the house, so it dared not approach casually. If it accidentally broke in, then... it would be a catastrophe.
However... if Xue Rui were to go out on his own, things would be different.
Xue Rui walked outside with a dagger in his hand. The evil spirits outside rushed over immediately, but he calmly dodged the attack and swung his dagger as he retreated.
Xue Rui made a deep, bone-revealing cut on the demon's face, and the demon covered its face with its hands, letting out a piercing scream. Xue Rui did not let such a good opportunity pass by.
While the demon screamed, he plunged the dagger straight into its eye socket. He then twisted it a few times before pulling out the dagger and slashing at its neck, decapitating the demon.
The round head rolled several times on the ground before gradually disappearing. After the evil spirit disappeared, Xue Rui didn't find anything or receive any points.
As expected, the system's word is law; if it says there's no reward, there's no reward. This is to prevent him from farming points in such a simple dungeon.
Lin Leyou said, "Come and eat, the food is getting cold."
Xue Rui responded, closed the door and went back inside. He first went to the bathroom to wash up a bit before returning to the dining table. "Very weak."
Lin Leyou's lips curled up. "Of course, after all, you are much stronger than before. The evil spirits in this dungeon are no match for you at all."
Xue Rui was slightly taken aback. "Brother Lin is praising me?"
Lin Leyou: "What's wrong with praising you? Can't I praise you?"
Xue Rui shook his head, "That's not what I meant..."
I just felt a little embarrassed, but it's okay. I'll just praise him. Anyway, he is indeed much better than before. If that evil spirit had been here before, I definitely wouldn't have been able to kill it so easily.
After enjoying their meal, the two sat on the balcony admiring the beautiful scenery outside, just like when Xue Rui first came to Lin Leyou's house and they also looked at the ginkgo trees outside.
Xue Rui said, "Every time I come here, I think the scenery is beautiful, and I really want to see more of it."
Lin Leyou said, "It costs 1000 points each time I watch it."
If this were real-world money, it would be a solid ten million!
This is Xue Rui, the super-rich tycoon. If it were someone with tens of millions of points, wouldn't 1000 points be better spent on items or cash?
Xue Rui: "I always feel like Brother Lin is thinking something bad."
Lin Leyou said, "What's wrong with it? I just think that unless you really have a lot of points, so much that you can easily get 1,000 points and it doesn't matter at all, then you can come more often. Right now, you probably don't have enough points."
Xue Rui, "I know..."
Lin Leyou said, "Alright, I'll only say it a few times, and then I won't say it again. Anyway, you're not a child, you know the importance of things. I welcome you as long as you come."
Xue Rui smiled and said, "I knew Brother Lin wouldn't mind me."
The two ate, drank, played on their phones, and even played cards on the balcony until night fell before cooking. This time, Xue Rui didn't keep Lin Leyou out of the kitchen but instead asked him to help out.
Lin Leyou was quite happy to agree, as it would be faster that way.
While the two were busy in the kitchen, screams, cries of agony, and shouts of cursing came from outside. Without even looking, it was clear that the players had encountered a demon.
They must be being chased and killed right now. Judging from the sounds, they are the ones being hunted and have no chance to fight back.
There was also a window in the kitchen, and the two of them instinctively went to the window to see what was going on. They saw about five players running ahead, with a monster covered in black mist chasing behind them.
Lin Leyou immediately thought of the skeleton monster he killed in the Happiness Community instance, and the skeleton mask item he obtained was still in his inventory.
Xue Rui looked at Lin Leyou, "What's wrong?"
Lin Leyou smiled at him, "I was the one who killed this skeleton monster last time."
Xue Rui blinked. "Really? Is this amazing?"
Lin Leyou: "Impressive, indeed quite impressive, just watch."
Xue Rui looked out the window again. Of the five players who were running earlier, only three remained. Two other players were dead, lying on the road in a gruesome state.
One of them even had its stomach ripped open, exposing its contents which were scattered on the ground.
Xue Rui frowned slightly, looking somewhat uncomfortable.
Lin Leyou: "What's wrong? Can't stand this scene? Then let's not watch it."
We still need to eat later.
Xue Rui shook his head. "No, I was thinking that this road is Ginkgo Road, and leaving such a corpse here is really in the way."
Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment. Well! No wonder he is a future big shot. Whether in the Endless World or the real world, he is a big shot.
His temperament is truly unmatched.
Lin Leyou didn't say anything more, just said, "Hurry up and cook."
Xue Rui: "Okay."
The players outside are being chased by evil spirits? What does that have to do with them? Even if they all die...
Oh no, that won't work if they all die. It's only the third day. If all the players die, the dungeon will end early, and Xue Rui will have to go back.
This opportunity, which cost 1000 points, couldn't just slip away like that, so Xue Rui started thinking of a solution.
He asked the system how many players were left, but the system did not respond. Xue Rui then realized that although he was in the dungeon, he was not a player and was not qualified to ask such questions.
However, Lin Leyou is qualified.
"Brother Lin, how many players are left?"
Lin Leyou consulted the system and received a number.
"There are thirteen more."
Xue Rui: "That's good. It's been three days and there are still thirteen left. That's not bad. I hope they can hold on until the end and clear the level."
Persist until the end, even if you don't clear the dungeon, it's okay. If no one clears the dungeon when the time is up, the dungeon will still end, and the players who didn't die will be considered as having failed.
The sounds outside quickly faded away, and it was unclear whether the remaining players could escape the skeleton monster's pursuit.
Lin Leyou found it rather strange that this skeleton monster would come out so brazenly to hunt down players when it was just getting dark, but not completely dark yet.
There are always security guards patrolling the neighborhood. If this skeleton monster runs into a security guard, it'll be in real trouble.
