Chapter 425 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui looked at the four of them, then gave each of them 500 points, totaling 12,000 points. He kept 10,000 points for himself. No one objected; in fact, they thought Xue Rui had given too much.
Xue Rui waved his hand, "Phew... it's settled then. Go get me some food, I'm going to rest."
No one dared to disturb him anymore, and they all went to get food. They never expected that so much would happen in just one night. Although they hid downstairs at the end, they still witnessed the whole thing.
While getting breakfast, Huajiao whispered, "A man like the captain is really something else. He's good-looking, capable, and rich. What kind of partner do you think he'll find in the future?"
After hearing this, all three fell silent for a moment. Zhou Feng then said, "They probably won't be able to find it so soon, will they?"
Fang Hong: "Hehe, I think he definitely needs to find someone who can stand by him through thick and thin, at least I'm a player, otherwise... it would be really tiring."
Ding Baishuang nodded, "Yes, you need to be strong, good-looking, and a fellow player."
The three chatted and picked out some breakfast. When they walked back, they naturally stopped talking about it. It was fine to talk about it elsewhere, but why bring it up in front of Xue Rui?
Okay, it's not that it's impossible, but it can't be now. Let's talk about it when everyone is relaxed in the real world, when the atmosphere will be better.
Unbeknownst to them, Lin Leyou overheard these conversations. Was Xue Rui looking for someone he liked? A fellow player? Someone good-looking? Someone strong?
He seemed to meet all these criteria. Wait, was he good-looking? When Lin Leyou looked in the mirror, he didn't think he was particularly good-looking. He was just average.
But every time he goes out, some girls turn around to look at him on the street. Does this mean he's not bad-looking? At least not just ordinary as he thought?
Wait! Lin Leyou suddenly snapped out of his reverie. Why was he thinking about this? Did he want Xue Rui to ask him to be his lover? He was really obsessed. Pushing the thought out of his mind, Lin Leyou continued to observe them.
However, it's already past six o'clock, and daytime has arrived. All the ordinary ghosts and elite monsters below have died, and the remaining people are enjoying the peace of the day, since they can make their appearance at night.
Lin Leyou thought for a moment and suddenly remembered something. The system stipulated that he, as the BOSS, could not leave the top floor for the first five days, but it was already the sixth day, right?
Although it's daytime now, it's still daytime... it's the sixth day! Lin Leyou watched the employees happily eating in the staff canteen. It's been five days already, and he wants to eat there every day.
Since that's the case... why not give it a try? Maybe we can really get out? After all, I'm the boss! I can't really wait until nightfall to go down, right?
He was about to get up and go outside, but as he bent down to stand up, he suddenly remembered that Xue Rui seemed to have hidden a mechanical spider outside the top floor. As soon as he stepped out of this door, Xue Rui would probably find out!
After thinking it over, Lin Leyou leaned back in his chair and waited for nightfall. Once night fell, he could use his teleportation skill to travel to any part of the building. Although the teleportation skill only refreshed every two hours, at night he could go anywhere without any problem.
Lin Leyou was already planning which player to target first that night. Since he was the BOSS, he couldn't just sit idly by. Killing players would earn him points, and he could earn 10,000 points for each one he killed!
You only get 80,000 points for completing the task. Of course, if you fail the task, you will lose points. How much will you lose? For a B-level difficulty dungeon, whether the player fails to complete the dungeon or the resident fails the task, the points deducted are one-fifth of the completion reward.
Players who successfully complete a level are rewarded with 50,000 points, while those who fail lose 10,000 points. If a player fails their own mission, they lose 16,000 points. With such a small amount of points, he can recoup his losses by killing just two players.
Therefore, Lin Leyou had already decided to go easy on Xue Rui. However, how much he would go easy on him depended on how much strength Xue Rui could muster in the end. If he only had the strength he had when dealing with the elite monsters, it would be far from enough. The current Xue Rui was completely different from the one when the dungeon first opened.
When the dungeon first opened, he basically only knew his own skills, but now he knows all the skills that the elite monsters used before, plus his talents and items/weapons.
Even if the remaining seventeen players attacked him together, even if they frantically used items to attack him, they wouldn't pose a fatal threat to him. At most, they would just make him feel a little uncomfortable.
Xue Rui looked at the food in front of him and barely mustered up some energy. He felt so sleepy while eating that he realized he was about to collapse. He decided to go back to sleep as soon as he finished eating.
Sichuan peppercorns: "Is the captain very tired?"
Xue Rui said, "It's okay. Everyone should try to sleep as much as possible during the day, and then we'll get some rest at night..."
They all knew that when night fell, they would face the BOSS, and perhaps all the players would die that night, and then the dungeon would end and they would fail to clear it.
Fortunately, I had already earned quite a few points, so even if I failed to pass the level and lost points, I wouldn't lose too much.
Not just them, all the players were exhausted. After having lunch in the staff canteen, they immediately returned to their own little territories, and...
Apart from Wang Fu and Xue Rui's team, the other two groups of players didn't go to work. Instead, they each chose a relatively safe corner where no one would go and hid away, not planning to go out during the day.
Lin Leyou had also considered this development. Not working wouldn't really affect anything. The daily updated work tasks that Xue Rui had found on his desk were actually not very useful.
This is merely a trick used to mislead players in this instance. Doing it is useless, not doing it is fine, but as the BOSS, he still has the right to decide whether it is useful or not.
He immediately decided to wait until after 6 p.m., then hunt down those players who never completed their tasks. Once all the players who didn't do their tasks were killed, he would then hunt down the other players in order of how much work they had completed.
If we're talking about who did the most work, Xue Rui is definitely the one. In that case, let's leave Xue Xiao Rui for last, maybe we can still have a few days to get to know each other.
Although Lin Leyou hadn't decided whether to tell Xue Rui her identity, she remembered that even though she hadn't told him before, he had still recognized her by his intuition and some of his little habits.
This time, he didn't think he could keep it a secret until the end, so he decided to wait and see if Xue Rui could recognize him.
If they recognize you, then openly let them win; if they don't recognize you, then secretly let them win, hehe!
The daytime was particularly peaceful, with the building bustling with people, which made players feel much more relaxed. This dungeon was a complete contrast between day and night!
Xue Rui slept all morning and only started to finish his work after lunch. Fortunately, there wasn't much work to do today, and he still had more than two hours left after finishing. He thought about it and decided to find a place to sleep.
I wonder if the BOSS will go on a killing spree tonight. Although this dungeon lasts for ten days, it's impossible for the BOSS to spend five days hunting down players.
Xue Rui closed his eyes, and the image that flashed through his mind was the figure he had seen that night on the rooftop when he risked opening the door, the surveillance footage…
I wonder if that surveillance camera can be destroyed. The whole building almost collapsed last night. Are those cameras still working? Xue Rui asked himself this question, but he already knew the answer.
Based on the surveillance footage he saw from the top floor, he deduced that he also found several surveillance cameras that he couldn't see but could touch. He left some inconspicuous, tiny props on two of the cameras.
Even though the building was almost destroyed last night, these props remained intact on the surveillance cameras, meaning that whether the building was destroyed or not had no impact on these cameras.
In other words, everything that happened last night, including the fact that he killed four elite monsters in a row, was seen by the BOSS. When the BOSS appears tonight, will he be the first one to come after him?
Night fell quietly, and six o'clock arrived without us even realizing it.
At exactly 6:00, all seventeen players received a system message.
"System notification: The company boss has suddenly discovered some uninvited guests at his company. They killed his most capable subordinate! Not only are they causing trouble at his company, but they also aren't working properly. The boss has decided to personally eliminate these ants, starting with those who have done the least work..."
Those who don't work will die first!
Players who received this system notification were in a bad mood, especially those who hadn't done any work. They were even more anxious and frustrated, since it was already six o'clock, which meant the BOSS would be here soon!
"What should we do? Can we hide?"
"This is a BOSS, after all. If we hide, we'll definitely be found. After all, a BOSS is definitely stronger than an elite monster. If we hide, we might not even be able to buy time."
"What do we do then? Just wait here to die?"
"Quickly ask the others if they want to ambush us together."
The current player teams consist of two five-person teams, one four-person team, and one three-person team. Except for Xue Rui, none of the five-person team members have done any work. All the other players have done some work, either on the first day, the second day, or even the third day.
Right now, in the large group of seventeen people, their team members are talking like crazy, planning to find the remaining players to deal with the BOSS who is looking for them at any time but will definitely come looking for them.
"The BOSS will definitely come looking for us. We can find a suitable place to make some preparations first. After all, we are the only players left. If we also die, the fewer players there are, the lower our chances of clearing the level will be."
"Preparing props and traps in advance will at least give us a chance of winning, don't you think?"
