Chapter 399 [(*^▽^*)]
Leaving aside Xue Rui and Hua Jiao, they are both players who have experienced special dungeons and have extremely strong abilities. The reason they got so many points is a combination of luck and skill.
Take Zhou Feng, an ordinary high-level player, for example. After experiencing so many dungeons, his total points, including what he had spent before, were only three or four hundred thousand. He still has more than fifty thousand left.
So, over 400,000 points... Either this woman has a very impressive skill, or she had extremely good luck in a certain instance and gained hundreds of thousands of points.
Xue Rui believed the former, "Did you use all your points to buy items for your ex-boyfriend?"
The woman gave another bitter smile. "Yes, I gave it to him. He said he wasn't capable enough and that he might die if he didn't have enough props... He also said he would protect me, so I believed him."
Xue Rui was silent for a moment before asking, "What can you do?"
The woman paused for a moment, then quickly understood what Xue Rui meant by asking her question. She hurriedly replied, "I'm good with computers, I can do almost anything. Many of my gadgets are related to this, except for a few that are for self-defense!"
Expert in computers? Xue Rui was taken aback. In fact, he knew many people who were experts in computers, but he didn't know a single player. Even if there were, they were all government officials.
This female player clearly hasn't joined the official team. In that case, she's really getting a good deal. Although we don't know exactly how skilled she is, the fact that she was able to get 400,000 points in the dungeon with this skill shows that she truly deserves the title of "proficient".
Xue Rui: "What's your name? Introduce yourself to everyone."
The female player smiled and said, "I'm Li Qianqian. Hello, nice to meet you all in this dungeon."
Sichuan peppercorn: "I'm Sichuan peppercorn, maybe we'll meet often in the future?"
She had already figured it out: the captain had taken a liking to this woman, not in a sexual way, but because he wanted her skills—a computer whiz, really impressive!
If she hadn't gotten the invitation to the S-rank difficulty dungeon, and if she hadn't decisively killed Qin Jiao inside, she would probably only have three or four hundred thousand points right now.
Thinking about it this way, Li Qianqian is really amazing. It would be great if she could really be a teammate. She loves having a great teammate the most!
From now on, clearing dungeons will be a breeze, how wonderful!
After everyone introduced themselves, Xue Rui asked again, "If you encounter those two men later, are you going to kill them?"
Li Qianqian: "I...I might not be able to beat them."
As she said this, she was probably thinking about the useful props she had given to her ex-boyfriend, and the pain in her eyes was hard to hide. "I wish I could get my props back."
Xue Rui: "This might be difficult to handle."
Li Qianqian was stunned for a moment. Had she blurted it out herself?
"I...I didn't mean that, I was just venting a little."
Xue Rui suddenly looked up and said, "I can hear footsteps up there."
Everyone quieted down. There were indeed footsteps above, but they were definitely not from elite monsters or ordinary ghosts. The footsteps of elite monsters were clearly still below.
Perhaps Li Qianqian's escape made him even angrier, as he was now smashing things downstairs, the thumping sounds clearly audible.
"That's strange. Generally speaking, where would you find a player making such heavy footsteps these days? Is he doing it on purpose? To attract the ghost's attention?"
Xue Rui narrowed his eyes. "Open the window and climb up, now!"
Everyone immediately did as he said, without even asking why. Although Li Qianqian was a little rusty, she had cleared many dungeons before, so she quickly got used to it.
This time they went up to the 32nd floor, and just as they climbed into the room through a broken window, they heard another roar from below.
Zhou Feng: "Captain, the elite monster suddenly went up to the tenth floor for some reason, and then quickly went to the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth floors! It seems like it's specifically looking for something."
Xue Rui, "Do you know who made those footsteps just above us?"
Zhou Feng said, "When we left earlier, we put out some props to check, and it turned out to be two men."
He briefly described the two men's appearances, and soon everyone noticed Li Qianqian's strange yet apologetic expression. "I...I'm sorry."
Huajiao was horrified. "Could it be your ex-boyfriend and your half-brother? The same two scumbags who tried to kill you?"
Li Qianqian's lips twitched. "If they haven't changed their clothes, then it must be them."
Ding Baishuang, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked, "Do they know that your current points are less than 10,000?"
Li Qianqian shuddered. "I...I know. I...I told him when I bought him the items that I had less than 10,000 points left. I even joked that if I failed to clear the next dungeon, I might lose more than 10,000 points."
Huajiao confirmed, "Very good, these two scoundrels really want you dead. After you've been drained of your value, you're useless. They want to be together, but they don't want to break up with you, nor do they want you to break up with them, so they simply use this method to solve everything once and for all. You just disappear, and everything will be fine!"
Li Qianqian was trembling all over. "So...so they knew...that I was down there, so they deliberately attracted the elite monsters to find me, right?"
She wiped away her tears and apologized, "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to... I didn't know they would do such a thing..."
Xue Rui saw her crying so sadly, but didn't say anything.
However, Zhou Feng couldn't help but go over to comfort her, and Fang Hong patted her back, saying, "Alright, alright, after you've cried this time, you can't cry about this anymore."
"After all, he's a jerk. It's not worth it if you cry every time you're with a jerk!"
Li Qianqian really didn't want to cry, but she felt so wronged! She was able to hold back just now, but now that she had opened the floodgates, she would have to wait until she finished crying to close them again.
Fortunately, although Xue Rui didn't show any expression, he wasn't impatient either. He really wanted to recruit Li Qianqian as a teammate. She was proficient in computers, which would make many dungeons much easier in the future.
That's what he was thinking, but Lin Leyou, who was secretly observing Xue Rui, was somewhat unhappy. His gaze lingered on everyone except Xue Rui and Zhou Feng.
Why are they all beautiful women? Does Xue Rui like girls? Ding Baishuang is an ice queen, Fang Hong is a strong, fighting woman, and Huajiao is even more amazing—cunning, beautiful, and a good fighter. Now there's another computer expert, Li Qianqian.
The only man, Zhou Feng, was an older man, so everyone called him Uncle Feng!
Lin Leyou felt inexplicably unhappy. "What's wrong? You just turned 18 and you can't resist collecting beautiful women? I didn't expect you to be such a male lead, Xue Rui?"
He couldn't help but think back to when they were in Happiness Community, Xue Rui was like a little puppy in front of him, calling him "Brother Lin" all the time. But now, in front of these beauties, he's a reliable and capable captain!
"Sigh..." Lin Leyou couldn't help but sigh, "I've grown up..."
Although he said that, he was still unhappy. He couldn't quite put his finger on why he was unhappy. Was it because no woman liked him?
Lin Leyou has even forgotten that he is only a few months older than Xue Rui.
After Li Qianqian finished crying, Xue Rui didn't say anything else. Now, the important thing was to get down to business. "Did you do any preparation beforehand?"
She wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, I have a complete set of surveillance equipment that can prevent any physical harm. You can watch the surveillance footage here, and I'll give you the rest..."
Xue Rui waved his hand, "No need to say anything else, just show us the surveillance footage now. What everyone needs to do now is..."
While he was speaking, Li Qianqian took out the surveillance camera device she had just put in her backpack. It was roughly the same size as a computer monitor, but it had thirty small, identical panels, each containing a surveillance point. This seemed to be much better than their previous surveillance system.
After Li Qianqian got into work mode, her mood improved a lot. "These monitoring points can be moved at any time. Even if they are discovered, they can be quickly hidden. Even if they are destroyed, they can be automatically repaired after a few hours. They are very useful."
As soon as she finished speaking, she spotted two familiar figures in a small section of the surveillance camera. "Hmm?"
Huajiao leaned closer to take a look and casually tapped the small screen that Li Qianqian was staring at. The small screen then zoomed in, revealing the figure of the elite monster, and... two players frantically fleeing in front of them. They were two men, and they were fairly good-looking.
She asked with some surprise, "Qianqian, are these the two scumbags you were talking about?"
Li Qianqian took a deep breath, and perhaps unable to hold back, a slightly twisted smile appeared on her lips. "That's right, I didn't expect them to make a commotion up there to attract the elite monsters... We escaped, but they got targeted."
Sichuan peppercorns: "What's going on? They should be able to run faster than us."
The others also found it strange, not understanding what the problem was. Finally, Ding Baishuang said, "Footsteps?"
Huajiao's eyes lit up. "That's right! They're the ones making the noise. If that's the case, it's not surprising that the elite monsters remember the sounds they made. That's why they're being targeted, right?"
Xue Rui said, "There's nothing to be happy about. This elite monster can remember the sounds others make and can even remotely detect familiar sounds for precise tracking!"
After hearing what he said, no one had any more gloating thoughts; they all gasped in shock!
