Chapter 358 [(*^▽^*)]
Aside from dungeons and quests, the scenery of Jingu Village is absolutely stunning. Whether it's the pastoral landscape, sunrises and sunsets, or mountains and seas of clouds, every frame is wallpaper-worthy.
Xue Rui: "Brother Lin, today is the last day."
They were walking up the mountain along the path, carrying their lunch. They planned to spend their last day on the mountain, eating lunch and watching the sunset before heading back home.
Lin Leyou: "It's not like we can't see each other again!"
Xue Rui: "That's true. I'm the one who's being sentimental."
Lin Leyou reached out and ruffled his hair. "You're all grown up now. If you miss me in the future, just come find me."
Xue Rui's eyes lit up. "Really? Didn't Brother Lin say we shouldn't waste points?"
Lin Leyou said, "What I'm saying is, don't waste your points when you don't have many left."
Xue Rui's eyes flashed. "So that means if I have a lot of points, it won't be a waste?"
Lin Leyou felt there was something wrong with this statement, but he didn't refute it. He nodded slightly and said, "If you have more than ten million points, I won't say anything more about you."
Ten million points?
Xue Rui's smile vanished considerably, replaced by a helpless expression. "Even now, Brother Lin still hasn't forgotten to tell me to kill you?"
Lin Leyou chuckled and didn't say anything more. Instead, he sped up, and the two spent the day on the mountain.
What they didn't know was that all the surviving participants had received the same task, which was undoubtedly the best task for Jiang Xiaming.
He was especially excited when he saw the mission, but he quickly realized that Huang Bing had already been killed by him and it was impossible to kill him again.
So he could only watch helplessly as the task was left undone. He was dumbfounded. He should have kept Huang Bing until now, otherwise he could have earned ten million points.
But no matter how much he regrets it now, it's too late; once he's dead, he's dead.
Zhao Changzhou and Qin Fengmian were both surprised to receive this task. After exchanging glances, they both noticed each other's expressions.
Qin Fengmian looked at his aged body. "Are you going to make a move?"
Zhao Changzhou hesitated. Although he and Qin Fengmian had a good relationship, they were in a dungeon where everyone's strength mattered.
However, after a period of internal struggle, Zhao Changzhou gave up. "Forget it, you can clear the game without killing me. You have five million points. I won't attack you for five million more points. Let's clear the game together."
Qin Fengmian smiled and said, "You really are a good brother!"
After making his decision, Zhao Changzhou felt much more relaxed. "Isn't that right? Who else could it be but me?!"
The atmosphere was harmonious on their side, but things weren't so great on the other team. Qin Jiao and Hua Jiao, two female players, were initially cooperating to complete the game.
However, after receiving this task, the way he looked at the other party seemed a little strange.
Qin Jiao and Hua Jiao are not kind people. Qin Jiao tried to ambush Lin Leyou in the Happiness Community instance. Although she failed and was killed, she is indeed a vicious person. She was only willing to cooperate with Hua Jiao before because of the needs of the instance mission.
As for Huajiao, he's not someone to be trifled with. He was the player who almost took down the big boss Lin Leyou in the hospital instance!
She couldn't be called a bad person, but she was a decisive and absolutely formidable woman. The moment she saw the mission details, she knew that their team could no longer exist.
Furthermore, Sichuan peppercorns immediately did several backflips, completely distancing themselves from Qin peppercorns.
Qin Jiao turned around with a smile, looking at Hua Jiao in the distance behind her, and suddenly revealed a somewhat sickly smile, "You dodged quickly."
Then she moved her hands as if trying to take something out, but there was nothing in her hands. Just like that, the smile on Qin Jiao's face froze.
"Huh? How could this be..."
Huajiao was also a little surprised to see her like this. Then, as if he had thought of something, he tried it too, but his hands were empty as well. At this moment, the two of them realized this.
But the other props are usable! So only the weapons and props can't be used! Since that's the case, there's nothing they can do. They watched each other very warily and slowly retreated until they could no longer see each other.
The two rushed home as fast as they could, but just as they were about to grab some weapons from the house to take out, they suddenly realized that it was daytime and that there were many police officers active in the village.
If they went out to cause trouble while carrying a knife, they would likely be discovered. So the two of them had to hold back for now and wait until it got dark. Anyway, there was still time, so there was no rush.
For two female players with no more than 100,000 points, 5 million points is a great sum, enough for them to cooperate and pass the level together. But 10 million points is enough to make them turn against each other and kill each other immediately.
The player who survives will receive ten million points and become a true master, while the one who dies will die completely, whether in the dungeon or in the real world.
The penalty for failing to pass the level is a deduction of five million points! They all knew this in their hearts.
Neither of them considered the possibility of simply waiting for the dungeon to end without taking action, because they both wanted ten million points and felt that their chances of winning were relatively high.
The saying "fortune favors the bold" was perfectly exemplified by them. The two remained silent, neither making a move during the day.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui, who had watched the sunset on the mountain, descended. The descent was safe, and once home, they cooked dinner together. They prepared a very lavish meal.
They planned to have dinner, then lie in bed and chat about delicious food and fun things until the dungeon ended.
The atmosphere between Qin Fengmian and Zhao Changzhou was also very harmonious, as they drank wine and chatted.
Jiang Xiaming was still somewhat annoyed as he looked at his task, regretting more than once that he had killed Huang Bing too quickly. If he had just been a little more patient, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Especially since he was being pursued by the police for killing Huang Bing, he hadn't been able to complete many missions at all. This last mission was also the second one!
Only two female players, Huajiao and Qinjiao, left home after dark, taking all the weapons they could find, to go to the other's house to look for someone.
But they soon met on the way.
After exchanging a glance, the two did not start fighting there, but instead simultaneously decided to go somewhere else.
Lin Leyou and Zhao Changzhou witnessed their struggle and even found it amusing.
Lin Leyou: "They went to the river!"
Xue Rui: "That place is relatively remote, and it's on the edge of the forest, so there are many shelters, making it a good place to hide."
Lin Leyou: "Do you think we should call the police?"
Xue Rui shook his head, "Forget it, the dungeon is almost over, and I also want to see..."
Lin Leyou: "Let's see who kills whom in the end? And whoever wins will actually complete the mission?"
Xue Rui nodded. "I really do want to know."
Lin Leyou said, "Since that's the case, let's just wait and see."
After a while, they found nothing unusual in the village, so Zhao Changzhou and his group did not call the police. They did not know where their surveillance equipment was, but they were certain that something had happened.
"They're probably watching the show too!"
Xue Rui: "It's starting."
Beside the stream in Jingu Village, there is a flat piece of land that is very convenient for fighting, and the area around this flat land is surrounded by woods.
If you want to run away, you can hide inside.
Most importantly, they all knew they couldn't use weapon-type items, since the opponents only had kitchen knives and similar weapons. If they couldn't win, they could use items to help them escape quickly!
Qin Jiao's somewhat coquettish voice rang out, "The weapons in the village are usable, but they can't be put into a backpack..."
Neither of them were particularly large, meaning they weren't carrying any bulky weapons.
Sichuan peppercorn laughed heartily, "Yes, you're right, so what?"
Qin Jiao: "Close combat is my forte..."
Upon hearing her words, Lin Leyou suddenly recalled the scene in the hospital instance where he was almost killed by the strong woman, Huajiao, in close combat.
This Qin Jiao is quite something, actually daring to say such things in front of Hua Jiao. Could it be that after her crushing defeat in Xingfu Community, Qin Jiao went back and worked hard to become a close-combat queen?
Huajiao was naturally dismissive of what she said, but she didn't show it. Instead, she smiled and said, "Well, you're quite strong. Let me try?"
The two stood on either side, their eyes fixed on each other's every move.
They circled each other, getting closer and closer. When they were about five meters apart, Qin Jiao suddenly attacked. In the blink of an eye, she was already rushing over with a fruit knife in her hand.
If this knife were to stab him, Sichuan peppercorns would be seriously injured.
Just as the knife tip was about to pierce through Huajiao's abdomen, there was a sudden "ding" sound, and the knife tip was blocked. Qin Jiao's face changed, and she pushed off with both legs, taking two steps back.
However, the force she used to rush forward was too strong, causing her to pause briefly when she tried to move backward. It was during this brief pause that Huajiao seized upon her weakness.
She held a broken blade tip in her hand. As Qin Jiao retreated, she gripped the tip with her fingers and swung it forward quickly, the arc of which perfectly encompassed Qin Jiao's neck.
Qin Jiao, who had already retreated several steps, was also somewhat frightened, because she had just felt something cold brush against her neck. Could it be...?
She stared intently at the peppercorns, and one of her hands unconsciously touched her neck. As expected, she touched a lot of warm liquid gushing out.
"Cough cough... Heh... You..."
