Chapter 367 [(*^▽^*)]
The system seemed taken aback by Lin Leyou's greed, remaining silent for a while before replying, "To purchase, you'll need to pay double the points! Two hundred million!"
Lin Leyou immediately gave up on the idea. When playing as an NPC in the Endless World dungeon, he was always provided with an identity token, which was enough. He only wanted the Demon Mask as a backup option, since he already had a Skull Mask in his inventory.
Although the Skull Mask is only a green-tier item, it's still a good backup option.
After regaining his composure, Lin Leyou immediately began to confirm the exact location of the elite monster. Although the tracker screen would display the distance, it was only the distance, without any height difference or specific details.
He didn't appear near Xue Zhengyang's house, but instead sent a mechanical spider to search for the location of the elite monster. If he could, it would save him a lot of trouble.
Some minor issues have arisen in this infinite world; some monsters from the dungeon have escaped into the real world, something that players definitely shouldn't know about.
Once players find out, they will definitely frantically search for and kill monsters for the reward, since in the real world they can run away at any time and are not afraid of being wiped out if the mission fails.
In particular, winning a mission grants one million points and gold! As for the penalty for failing a mission after accepting it, that will definitely not apply to the player.
The system requires itself to complete this task solely because it doesn't want to expose the matter. If players were to do it, it would be equivalent to being exposed, and naturally, there would be no need for punishment.
The mechanical spider searched the area several times but found nothing unusual. Could it be on top of the house? Or in the basement? Or in the underground parking garage?
Wait! The red dot has moved!
Lin Leyou noticed that the red dot, which hadn't moved at all, had started moving now, and it was still moving towards Xue Zhengyang's house!
Good heavens, the whole world is so big, the whole city of H is so big, this elite monster, he doesn't go here or there, but he just happens to come to this neighborhood, and he just happens to go to Xue Zhengyang's house!
Is this someone deliberately going against me? Are they afraid Xue Rui won't find out?
If it weren't for the temporary items the system provided later, wouldn't I have been... Never mind, now's not the time to think about that. I should hurry up and see what this elite monster is up to.
The mechanical spider quietly approached Xue Zhengyang's house and looked through the window, but saw no one. The house was empty; everyone had gone out.
If that's the case, then Xue Rui's mechanical spiders shouldn't be around here. Xue Rui only has three mechanical spiders in total, all of which he gave away.
Since no one is home, Xue Rui's mechanical spiders must have gone out with him. In that case, this is a good opportunity for me!
The mechanical spider cautiously slipped in from the second-floor balcony. Although Xue Rui's mechanical spider might not be there, it was still necessary to be careful and avoid being discovered.
The mechanical spider cautiously circled around inside, and only breathed a sigh of relief when it didn't see anyone. Since there was no one there, was this elite monster now looking for a secluded place to hide?
Lin Leyou felt strange. For some reason, even though the location of the mechanical spider was almost exactly the same as the red dot, he still couldn't find any trace of the elite monster.
Could this elite monster be invisible? Or is it a ghost? Like the ghost in the Golden Valley Village dungeon that tried to possess Xue Rui's body?
Since that's the case, then we can only use his thousand-year-old peach tree branch. By the way, this prop was obtained from Xue Qian, so using it here seems to be... haha!
Lin Leyou: "System, is this monster a ghost?"
The system didn't answer, so it seemed he had to figure this out himself. Anyway, the red dot was in that location, so it must be the right one. He then guided the mechanical spider to the entrance to the basement and also saw the underground parking garage.
To be honest, there are quite a few nice cars inside. Once his villa is renovated and ready to move in, he'll definitely buy a nice car too.
We still couldn't find it in the basement or garage. If it's not underground, is it in the sky?
Lin Leyou subconsciously looked up, but there was nothing above Xue Zhengyang's house. Could it be high in the sky?
He looked up further and saw a clear blue sky, a white cloud, and a small dark cloud clinging to the edge of that white cloud.
Huh? How come there's a small patch of dark cloud in a clear blue sky? It's not that it's impossible, it just feels very abrupt. He carefully checked the location and realized that, barring any unforeseen circumstances…
This small patch of dark cloud clinging to the white clouds is the elite monster. It is actually quite likely to be an elite monster of the ghost type. Moreover, in broad daylight with the sun shining brightly, it not only does not hide but is also floating in the sky!
But what should I do now? He's in the sky, how can I attack him? Wait, none of the weapons in my backpack seem to be usable!
To use it in the real world, you must pay the system points of equal value to the item. His gold-plated empty gun requires 200 million points!
Both the cursed purple-grade dagger and the Tang Mo Dao require 8 million points. 8 million points isn't impossible, but he felt he was at a disadvantage. The two items together would cost 16 million points.
Wait, let me think about it carefully. It seems like it's a good idea. After all, I'll definitely need it in the future. But the Tang Mo Dao is too big. It's better to use the Cursed Sharp Blade. It's smaller, and with eight million points, I can earn it back by renting my gold-tier item a few more times. It's not a loss at all!
Lin Leyou checked the price of the peach tree branch again. It was good that this was not a weapon or item, but just a material item, so the price was not as expensive as a weapon, but it was still not cheap, costing 100 million points!
Moreover, it is currently a material. If this material is made into a weapon or item, then will we need to give the system a new gold-grade weapon or item score before we can use it in the real world again?
After much deliberation, Lin Leyou finally chose a cursed dagger, especially the Golden Sun, an item that increases mental energy recovery speed. It's now a blue-grade item, and its mental energy recovery speed can be increased by 15%!
And can this elite monster really withstand my sharp blade? If it can withstand it once, what about twice? If it can withstand it twice, what about three times? I'll eventually kill it.
The problem now is, when will it come down? If it doesn't come down, won't I have to wait indefinitely? That won't do! The mission has a ten-day time limit!
Forget it, I'll just wait here. Anyway, I'm going to kill this thing within ten days. Besides, it's daytime now, so it's not good to do anything out of line. I'll wait until night.
He left the mechanical spider there while he strolled home, just to avoid being implicated if anything happened and the security footage showed him there.
After returning home, he monitored the dark cloud in the sky through the mechanical spider. This continued until sunset, when the dark cloud slowly descended onto a tree in the greenery near Xue Zhengyang's house.
As luck would have it, there was a mechanical spider that Lin Leyou had arranged on this tree. It just so happened that it saw the black cloud land on the branch and then transform into a humanoid monster.
It has two antennae on its head that keep swaying, as if it is exploring its surroundings. It has webbed hands and feet, and a pair of wings on its back. I haven't observed anything else yet.
At this moment, Lin Leyou took out the Demon Mask from his backpack and put it on his face. The next second, he was completely shrouded in a thick black mist. Only a pair of red eyes could be vaguely seen in the churning black mist. If anyone saw it, they would definitely think they had seen a ghost.
Just as Lin Leyou was about to set off, she wondered how she was going to get there. Should she just walk over like that? Wouldn't that attract attention?
"System, system, can you send me there?"
The system doesn't want to speak.
Lin Leyou pressed on, "If I walk over there, will others be able to see me?"
That definitely won't work. How many surveillance cameras and pedestrians would be there along the way? How could we possibly eliminate all the potential hazards? This is a massive undertaking!
The system still didn't respond, but the next second Lin Leyou found himself in a different place, right where the mechanical spider closest to the monster was located.
He had just appeared when his eyes met those of the humanoid monster crouching in the tree, seemingly waiting for something. For a moment, the two stared at each other, their eyes meeting, creating an awkward atmosphere.
Fortunately, Lin Leyou reacted quickly. In any case, his mission was to kill the monster, and the cursed dagger appeared in his hand the next second.
Before the monster could react, Lin Leyou swung his knife. The monster instinctively dodged, but instead of avoiding the knife's damage, it was struck by Lin Leyou's sharp blade that grazed its eyes.
Lin Leyou's cursed dagger is different from other props; it has an instant-kill effect on the weakest target.
In addition, his passive talent, Attack Enhancement, doubles the damage of all attacks. This talent cannot be used actively, so the other two talents cannot be used, but the passive talent is different.
Passive talents don't need to be actively used, so his current attack is equivalent to two attacks.
While causing immense damage, the monster also lost its sight due to the cuts from the knife!
However, this monster still had two tentacles on its head. Since it couldn't see its eyes, its tentacles were thrashing around wildly, as if it was observing its surroundings to see if there was anything that posed a danger to it.
