Chapter 319 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou's question wasn't because he thought Xue Rui was incompetent; it was simply because Xue Rui had formed a rather fixed impression in his mind.
In his eyes, Xue Rui was truly a perfect person; it was impossible to imagine him as a brat, especially considering his past life as a wealthy boss…
Xue Rui: "Don't worry, Brother Lin, I'm a great actor. As for the brat... I can just let myself go."
Lin Leyou's lips twitched. Was he letting loose?
"Alright then, but you should be careful. If you go too far, the participants might find you troublesome and secretly kill you."
Xue Rui: "Don't worry, in their eyes, an NPC with my personality is someone who is extremely prone to causing trouble and is very likely to trigger the quest."
Lin Leyou nodded to himself, "You're right, then let's wait and see. This instance takes a month to complete."
Xue Rui was overjoyed. He never expected to actually run into his beloved Brother Lin in the dungeon again. Could it be that there was some kind of destiny between them?
Lin Leyou also thought of this and replied with great emotion, "Our fate is truly amazing."
When Xue Rui saw this sentence, his heart skipped a beat, but he didn't realize it and replied, "That's right, I'm very happy."
Lin Leyou ignored this question and asked, "What do you look like?"
Xue Rui was stunned when he saw it. His appearance? He hadn't noticed. He went to look in the mirror, but when he went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, he realized that he looked different now than before.
Lin Leyou looked in the mirror after entering the room and noticed that she looked different. That was indeed true. Although she looked different, she still looked three or four parts similar, probably because she had undergone system adjustments.
In that case, that's not bad. If you encounter other players here and their faces are seen, they won't be recognized if you meet them again in the dungeon later.
It's getting late, and I wonder if the participants will come out to look for any clues. It seems unlikely.
In a relatively isolated village like this, where there are few entertainment facilities, unless there are some kind of festival activities, anyone who goes out at night will be suspected immediately.
Who wouldn't be tempted by 100,000 points earned through walking? And they still don't know what the quest for this S-level difficulty dungeon is.
Is there anything crucial to doing while walking around the village, such as saying certain things to someone that might trigger a death rule?
Now that we know nothing, everyone must be careful and even avoid revealing their identities to other participants.
Lin Leyou's only worry was Huang Bing. If Huang Bing really wanted to attack him, it would probably be quite difficult to deal with. However, since Huang Bing knew that he had an energy shield, he probably wouldn't come looking for trouble.
However, it is possible that he secretly revealed his identity as a participant.
Although they were conscious of keeping their word before parting ways, a copy is a copy, and a mission is a mission; verbal promises are the least valuable thing.
Lin Leyou sighed, looked at the sky outside which was already getting dark, slowly got up and checked the whole house from front to back, closed and locked all the doors and windows, and drew all the curtains tightly.
Anyway, he's set up mechanical spiders outside, so if anyone gets close, he'll know. It's okay if you can't see outside from inside the house.
Walking into the back kitchen, Lin Leyou made herself a simple meal. It tasted alright, though not as good as Xue Rui's cooking...
Lin Leyou thought of Xue Rui, who lived at No. 13 Jingu Village, not far away, and couldn't help but miss him. He wondered if he could eat his cooking in this instance. He really missed him.
After Lin Leyou had everything settled, he lay comfortably on the bed. This bed was his favorite place; it was big and soft. Lying on it, hugging the light but fluffy blanket, he felt incredibly comfortable.
He continued texting Xue Rui on his phone, while occasionally glancing at the footage monitored by the mechanical spider. The entire village was plunged into darkness, with lights on in every house, but no one was walking outside. Was it because they couldn't go out at night?
He's not going out on his own initiative anyway. What if he encounters something bad and gets killed if he goes out at night? It's better to wait for others to go out and try it out first before making any plans.
"Brother Lin, what are you doing?"
Lin Leyou looked at her bed, took a picture and sent it over, "Lying on the bed, it's a very comfortable bed."
When Xue Rui saw the bed, he looked at his rather cramped room and said, "My room is so small, it can't compare to Brother Lin's bed at all."
Lin Leyou frowned slightly when he saw Xue Rui's photo. It was indeed a very small room, only slightly larger than a toilet at first glance. The bed inside was a single bed, and the bedding looked quite clean.
"Aren't you an only child? Your parents treat you badly because of your status? That's not right. Didn't you say before that your parents treated you very well because of your status, spoiling you like a brat?"
Xue Rui also seemed a little confused. "That's for sure."
Lin Leyou, "What's your parents' room like? What's your family's financial situation like? What level of luxury do they live in?"
Xue Rui then realized that there might be something wrong with his identity. "I have never seen the room where his parents live, but it is definitely bigger than mine. It is about the same size as the living room, which is about 20 or 30 square meters."
Lin Leyou: "Anything else?"
Xue Rui said, "The food and drinks are pretty good. Apart from our own products, everything else is bought from supermarkets. Many items have price tags from certain supermarkets on them, and they are all quite expensive. I can eat whatever I want."
Lin Leyou stroked his chin. "Is it just that the room is a bit small?"
Xue Rui didn't quite understand either, "There are only these two rooms in the house. My room must be too small for them to sleep in, so I guess that's why they gave it to me."
Lin Leyou said, "Something's still not right. If I'm not mistaken, all the houses in the village should have a similar layout. They're all single-story houses with a living room in the middle, and the rooms should be about the same size as the living room. How come your room is so small? Has your room been partitioned off?"
Xue Rui hadn't really thought about this. Since entering this instance, he had focused most of his attention on Lin Leyou, and only now did he have the mind to think about these things.
Xue Rui wasn't stupid. Once his mind started working, he quickly noticed many unusual things. "Brother Lin, I'll be careful. Let's stop here for today and exchange information again tomorrow."
Lin Leyou had no objections. "No problem, go to sleep early."
Xue Rui smiled slightly and replied, "Good night."
Both of them put their phones away. Lin Leyou lay down on the bed, covered himself with the blanket, and then closed his eyes. Of course, he didn't go to sleep. Although it was dark outside, it was only a little before eight o'clock in the evening.
It's too early to go to sleep now. I should check the surveillance footage of the ten mechanical spiders first; maybe I can find something special.
He kept switching between the views of the ten mechanical spiders and adjusting their positions. The village was quite large, and ten spiders simply couldn't monitor all the important areas of the village.
There was no other way but to place the handrails at the main intersections, hiding them in high places. Of course, we also found an excellent spot on the mountain where we could overlook the entire village and see all the houses in the village.
It's just that we're too far away. We can only see a general outline, we can't hear any conversations, and we can't immediately see who the people walking around in the village are.
Especially at night, if someone is walking outside, you might only see a dark shadow moving around, but it still has its uses.
If the mechanical spiders on the mountain spot a dark shadow, they can send the mechanical spiders lurking in the village to find out who the suspicious shadow is, and then track and monitor it.
The time continued until midnight, and there was still no sound outside. All the lights in the houses were off, which meant that everyone in the village was asleep.
Lin Leyou could vaguely see his house through the spider vision on the mountain. It was safe and there was nothing around.
Since there was nothing wrong, Lin Leyou couldn't stay up all night, so he could only go to sleep and hope that nothing would happen while he was sleeping.
Lin Leyou slept soundly until dawn. After waking up, he didn't open his eyes immediately. Instead, he looked at the mechanical spider's perspective and found that many people were already active in the village.
Lin Leyou opened his eyes and looked at the time. It was already past eight o'clock. How could he have slept so comfortably?
He was a little confused, but he didn't think too much about it. He got up, changed his clothes, opened the door, and just as he stepped outside, he saw an old lady passing by.
"Oh, isn't this Xiaoyou? You're up?"
Lin Leyou nodded with a smile. He was quite popular in the village, and everyone greeted him. "Yeah, I don't know why I had some trouble sleeping last night..."
"How could a young man like you have insomnia? Are you thinking about what will happen later? It's okay, Auntie is here to tell you, just ask my husband for help with this!"
Lin Leyou quickly recalled the incident from his memory. He was a college graduate who had returned to his hometown village. Of course, he didn't just come back to farm. He planned to contract land on his own mountain to grow fruit trees, but it was just a plan and he hadn't put it into practice yet.
"Okay, I'll go talk to Uncle about this when I'm ready."
"That's great! A young man like you should have his own career! You're completely different from so-and-so's son. Girls will really appreciate someone like you!"
