Chapter 413 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui calmly ate a piece of meat. "These ordinary ghosts must be lying in ambush somewhere, which is why all these employees are sitting in the staff canteen. Even if they don't want to eat, they come here because it's safe."
Zhou Feng: "Elite monsters definitely won't appear in the next two hours. Now it's our free time. Shall we go kill a couple of ordinary ghosts?"
Xue Rui nodded, "No problem. If an elite monster eats an ordinary ghost, the benefits are much greater than if it eats an ordinary employee. After all, they are both ghosts, and eating them will make them stronger."
Zhou Feng glanced at Huajiao and Ding Baishuang, somewhat worried about what they might bring back. Fortunately, they didn't go too far; they just brought back a lot of meat and seafood, all spicy and sweet, which suited the tastes of these young people. Even Zhou Feng thought the taste was quite good.
As Huajiao ate, he said, "This tastes absolutely amazing. If it were available in the real world, I would buy it and eat it every day, but it's not available outside."
Fang Hong: "Yes, it's because I can't get such delicious food outside that I'm eating to my heart's content here. Although I can come to the dungeon again in the future, it's not always possible to come to a dungeon where I can eat whatever I want like this."
It was only then that the others realized that there didn't seem to be anything this delicious in the real world. The food in this employee cafeteria was indeed very good, even better than the employee meals at the Xue Group.
You know, the chefs in the Xue Group are all poached from outside at high prices, and none of them have such good skills. Xue Rui suddenly wanted to go to the kitchen to see how the chefs cook.
Huh? Wait a minute! Xue Rui suddenly thought of something. It seemed that all the other employees, including the players, needed to do something, either hunting or hiding, but the chef in this employee cafeteria seemed to have never had any problems?
His gaze involuntarily turned towards the kitchen of the staff canteen, and unsurprisingly, he saw several familiar figures. That's right, it was them. He had seen them the first time he came to the staff canteen. It was the fourth night now, and the same chefs hadn't changed.
Either the chefs won't get into trouble, or they're not even considered part of this game. Not only that, but when the elite monsters were rampaging through the building, these chefs disappeared somewhere.
Zhou Feng followed his gaze towards the kitchen. "Captain, is there a problem over there?"
Xue Rui: "These chefs are the same ones we saw on the first day. They seem to be there day and night, only disappearing when ghosts appear. Where do you think they're hiding?"
Huajiao, Fang Hong, and Ding Baishuang, who were enjoying their meal, suddenly looked at him. Xue Rui was taken aback. "What's wrong? The food is fine. You can keep eating."
Fang Hong took another bite of meat. "Yes, as long as the food is fine, that's all that matters. As for what happened with the chef, that's not important. Let's keep eating..."
She took a few more bites before she realized, "Huh? Huh? No, no, Captain, you mean they have places to hide, places that even elite monsters can't find?"
Xue Rui nodded, "Perhaps it's the location, or perhaps it's the way they hide. In any case, they must have a way to completely avoid ghosts and elite monsters."
Sichuan peppercorns: "Should we just ask them directly? Will they tell us? If they don't, should we force them to tell us?"
Xue Rui shook his head, "Let's not ask for now. Tonight's elite monsters are following the rules. The chef won't break the rules, so he won't be hunted down. Therefore, they won't take any action."
Sichuan peppercorns: "Shall we talk about it tomorrow night?"
Xue Rui: "That's good. Let's talk about the chef tomorrow. Let's discuss the elite monster issue first."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Wang Fu, who was not far away, came over with his two teammates, bringing plenty of late-night snacks. "Wow, you guys are having late-night snacks too? You're having a big meal!"
Wang Fu sat next to Zhou Feng, while Zhou Qiao and Zhao Wan sat near Hua Jiao and the others.
Zhou Feng: "It's alright, just a quick bite. You guys came for a late-night snack too?"
Wang Fu looked at the food on the table, then his gaze swept over the five of them with a strange expression. "I said, did you put the food upside down? Shouldn't girls be watching their weight? Yu Yan, shouldn't you eat something light? Shouldn't boys be eating heavy, meaty food?"
The situation was completely different for them! After all, he himself was eating a lot of meat and fish, while Zhou Qiao and Zhao Wan were eating something lighter, but it still tasted very good.
Huajiao sneered, "What? Men can eat meat and fish, but women can't? What kind of stereotype is this? Isn't this discrimination?"
Wang Fu quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no, don't try to pin this huge mess on me!"
Sichuan peppercorn: "Then what did you mean by what you just said? Wasn't it something I understood?"
Zhou Qiao and Zhao Wan, who were sitting next to Wang Fu, ignored him and chatted with Fang Hong and the others as if they were the ones on the same team and Wang Fu was an outsider.
Wang Fu looked at them pitifully, "I really didn't mean anything by it, I just think it's very strange."
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I apologize for being nosy. Let's not bring this up again. Let's talk about something serious. You should have a general idea of what's going on with the elite monsters, right?"
Xue Rui, "Are you saying that if the elite monster doesn't kill all the rule-breakers before 6 a.m., she will become a rule-breaker herself because she violated the rule of killing all the rule-breakers, and thus kill herself?"
Wang Fu nodded. "That's right. What do you think we should do? Break the rules a few seconds before six o'clock arrives, then dodge for a few seconds, and the elite monster will die."
Xue Rui: "Is it really that simple?"
Wang Fu blinked. "I also think that's too easy, but maybe the elite monster's abilities will increase infinitely in the period before six o'clock. So I'm thinking of finding more players so that everyone can break the rules at the same time. This way, the elite monster's attention will be diverted, and with more of us, we can hold out for the last few seconds."
Xue Rui said, "How can you guarantee that it will still count if you break the rules in the last few seconds? If that works, why not just break the rules one second before six o'clock? If you break the rules one second before six o'clock, she can just die."
Wang Fu initially thought his idea was excellent, but after listening to Xue Rui's analysis, he suddenly felt like he was about to become a complete idiot.
"Then... what should we do? It seems like there's no other way, right? After all, this elite monster seems unkillable; even after being blown to pieces, it can regenerate in a few seconds! And it gets stronger every time it transforms!"
Xue Rui said, "This is one way, but it's a last resort. Before that, we need to think of other ways."
Wang Fu nodded, "You're right. That was a last resort. They only hoped that she would commit suicide if she couldn't kill all the violators because they couldn't kill the elite monsters."
Xue Rui, "What we need to discuss now is..."
Wang Fu: "I know we need to discuss how to deal with this elite monster, but it hasn't appeared since midnight."
Xue Rui said, "These two hours are free time, which means you can do whatever you want without breaking the rules."
Wang Fu blinked. "Huh?! So if we find her within these two hours and kill her, wouldn't that be against the rules? Shall we go find her now?"
Xue Rui, "Have you forgotten that this elite monster can't die?"
Wang Fu was dumbfounded. "Ah! Right, I almost forgot. If that's the case, then we definitely can't kill her by other means. We can only let her kill herself?"
Xue Rui pondered. If he didn't find a way to break the elite monster's strange immortality, there was indeed no way to kill her. Even the most powerful attacks and the best weapons would only be a waste of points.
"It's best not to take any rash actions for now."
Wang Fu agreed, "That's what I think too. Her immortality is too strange. She transforms every time she's killed or injured, and she gets stronger each time. She can also become stronger by eating violators."
He leaned close to Xue Rui's ear and whispered, "Do you think that in the end, she might be stronger than all the other elite monsters combined?"
Wang Fu's words made sense, but it was too early to talk about that now. What Xue Rui was most concerned about was not that. "Can we find the location of the elite monster now?"
Wang Fu had no idea. "I don't know. Lu has searched from the first floor to the forty-second floor, and even checked the forty-third floor, but she hasn't found anything. Of course... if she can't find it anywhere else, then only the top floor is left. Should we go look for it?"
Xue Rui, "The surveillance equipment can't go up, but yours can?"
Wang Fu shook his head. "Of course not, so I'm planning to go and try myself. Maybe I can find a way up. Do you want to go?"
Xue Rui: "There's a big boss on the top floor. Do you think even if we find a way up, we can leave alive? Or... do you have a way?"
Wang Fu blinked. "Huh? I can't help it. I just said I'd try to see if I could get up there. I didn't say I'd actually get up there. If I can, we just need to put the props in."
Xue Rui: "You mean, the props themselves can't get up there, so we go over and find a way to get the props to the top floor, instead of going up there ourselves?"
Wang Fu nodded, "That's right, that's the idea. How do we get there? It's 2 o'clock now, and we're free to do whatever we want during this time. That means we can go anywhere we want."
Although Xue Rui felt that this wasn't entirely true, the opportunity to find elite monsters or witness the big boss was not bad. So, after thinking it over, he nodded in agreement.
Zhou Feng: "Captain, let's go too!"
Xue Rui shook his head, "No need. To get to the top floor, we have to go through the 43rd floor where there are still two elite monsters. It's hard to hide if there are too many people. Wang Fu and I can go. You guys can provide backup."
