Chapter 427 [(*^▽^*)]
Zhou Qiao checked her losses and gains. "I didn't use up many items. Thank goodness, this hidden quest came at just the right time."
"I can finally relax a little. But is there really no shortcut to clearing this quest dungeon? Or is it even possible for us to kill the boss?"
"Who knows? Let's wait and see. Didn't the BOSS say we should go and cause trouble for the other two teams first?"
"Well, just watch. But these people love to complain. When Captain Xue was facing so many elite monsters, they didn't help him at all. And when our captain asked them to help deal with that female secretary, they all refused. They only came to us later when they realized they couldn't stay out of it."
"Hmph, they don't know the pain until the stone falls on their heads. What good is it now that they know? It's too late..."
"Let's go, let's meet up with the captain and the others first. They're in the staff canteen, which is always the best place."
"Haha, let's go, let's go. I'm a little thirsty, let's go find some soup or broth over there."
When they arrived at the staff canteen, everyone else was already there, albeit in a corner. There were only eight of them in the entire canteen, and sitting in the middle would be too conspicuous. So, they habitually chose a corner seat by the window, so they could break through the window immediately if there was any danger.
This is the best experience I've summarized over the past few nights.
Wang Fu: "Hey, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for so long!"
Just as Zhou Qiao was about to speak, Xue Rui suddenly looked up towards the entrance. Everyone instinctively looked in that direction, only to see a man at least 1.9 meters tall standing in the restaurant entrance...
Huajiao blurted out, "Domineering CEO!"
Everyone snapped out of their daze. Zhou Qiao and Zhao Wan quickly sat down, and Xue Rui and the others also quickly lowered their heads. Some people really only need one glance to determine the identity of another.
It's obvious without even guessing that this man must be the final boss, but didn't the system say that the boss would first go to those who haven't completed their work? Why is he here first?
Huajiao went crazy in the group chat, "The domineering CEO, it's the domineering CEO! I recognized him as the BOSS at a glance! I didn't expect him to really be such a domineering CEO, I love him so much!"
Fang Hong: "Hey, hey, hey, have some self-respect! This is a dungeon boss, a super boss that can take your life with one slap. Do you really want it?"
Huajiao was still drooling, thinking, "If this were the real world, I would definitely pursue her! I would definitely pursue her!"
For some reason, Xue Rui felt a little uncomfortable when he saw this sentence. His gaze fell once again on the man who walked in, who was undoubtedly the BOSS.
Upon seeing the man's back, Xue Rui immediately connected him with the dark figure he had seen on the rooftop earlier; it was indeed the same person.
The real BOSS actually came to the staff cafeteria. Is he going to eat here?
Lin Leyou did see Xue Rui and the others, but he only glanced at them a few times before looking away, as if he were completely ignoring them.
He went straight to the window to order, then continued walking inside and entered a private room. The staff canteen also had private rooms, which were available for people who didn't want to eat outside.
They only breathed a sigh of relief when he entered the private room and closed the door.
Sichuan pepper: "I was so scared. I almost jumped out of the window just now. Luckily, I was fine. I said we'd start with people who don't work, and that's where we'll start. Even if we encounter them, we won't do anything."
Fang Hong took a sip of soup. "But... he's so handsome! I really like this type too. But he doesn't seem to have turned into a ghost."
Huajiao was very excited. "Actually, it wouldn't be unacceptable if it changed a little bit. For example, it could have two sharp canine teeth, sharp black nails, and red eyes. Wouldn't that be even more exciting?"
Fang Hong imagined the scene for a moment, then nodded, "That's right, it's definitely more exciting. You really know how to have fun, Huajiao. I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
Huajiao nudged her shoulder, "And you're talking about me? Don't you look just as excited as I am?"
Fang Hong coughed twice, "Captain..."
Huajiao then looked at Xue Rui and suddenly noticed that the captain's expression was not good. They immediately became serious as well. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Xue Rui shook his head. Then, after thinking for a moment, he briefly recounted what had happened after he emerged from the Devourer's Stomach. Everyone stared at him in astonishment.
Huajiao swallowed hard, asking uncertainly, "Captain, did you really open the door and look?"
Xue Rui: "Yes, it was because the door was opened that I realized there were many hidden surveillance cameras in the building, and the person watching behind these cameras was the BOSS on the top floor."
Wang Futong's eyes widened in shock. "I was wondering how you knew about this surveillance camera. After all, when elite monsters fight, they demolish everything in the building that can be demolished. Under normal circumstances, no one would think that there would still be surveillance cameras. So you saw it..."
"Wow, you really kept it a secret so well! If you hadn't seen the BOSS this time, would you have even remembered to tell us about this? But speaking of which, you were unlucky enough to be teleported to the top floor!"
"Thank goodness it's the outer office. If I had fallen straight in, I would have landed right in the boss's arms, which would have been terrible!"
Xue Rui gave him a sinister look, and Wang Fu quickly shut up and made a zipping motion.
Huajiao imagined that scene, and to be honest, it was even more exciting than her chasing after someone like that herself. She subconsciously glanced at Fang Hong, only to find that Fang Hong was also looking at her.
The two exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts without saying a word.
Lin Leyou didn't care what they were talking about. He had been craving food for five days, and now that he could finally eat, he wanted to enjoy it. As for the players who had already set traps for him, he wasn't in a hurry; there was still plenty of time until six in the morning.
He sat in his chair, leisurely enjoying his first good meal in days. He was really craving it. Although as a boss he could go without food and drink, he was still a human being at heart!
These past few days he's been watching the security footage constantly. Every time he sees people eating and drinking in the staff canteen, he feels extremely distressed. What a damn system! It said it wouldn't let him down, and he really can't leave the top floor!
Lin Leyou had been craving it so badly but could only look. After holding back for so long, she could finally finally...
The kitchen staff proactively brought over the dishes he had just ordered, entering respectfully and leaving properly, as if afraid that if they displeased him, his food would go cold.
Lin Leyou now realized that he was the true master to these NPCs. He held the power of life and death over them. He only needed to use his brain to decide who would die, and they would die.
But... if that's the case, why would that eccentric, elite female secretary come to challenge me? Is it because today is already the sixth day?
Even if the female secretary wants to challenge me, she has to complete it within the first five days? If that's the case, I really didn't feel this kind of control ability in the first five days.
Lin Leyou narrowed his eyes, no longer thinking about it. Anyway, all the elite monsters were dead, and his position as BOSS was secure. Even if he was killed by the players, BOSS would still be BOSS.
If the female secretary really succeeds, will the original BOSS be able to come back? I sent out a mission, but when I came back, I found my house was gone!
"System, what if the female secretary actually succeeds in challenging me? What will happen to the original BOSS?"
"System notification: You will be assigned to a higher difficulty dungeon as an elite monster."
Lin Leyou gasped. Good heavens, his status had changed from BOSS to elite monster! Although he had been moved to a more difficult dungeon, it felt like a promotion in name only.
Perhaps this boss earned enough points and completed many quests in a higher-difficulty dungeon to qualify as the boss of this dungeon? In that case, this boss seems quite inspiring?
Luckily, I didn't let that female secretary succeed. Otherwise, if I encountered this unlucky guy in some dungeon in the future, wouldn't I be targeted?
Lin Leyou happily finished his meal in the private room before getting up and slowly leaving. When he came out, he saw Xue Rui and Wang Fu still in the corner.
These people are still here. It seems they don't plan to leave. They say they're staying at the company to work overtime, but they never actually do any real work at night.
All the players were either running away, hiding, or chasing the ghosts. Now they definitely wanted to see how they killed those players.
As Lin Leyou walked out, a subtle smile appeared on his face. According to the players' predictions, he would kill the remaining seventeen players over five days, averaging three or four players per day, which was about right. But Lin Leyou wanted to say that how many players he wanted to kill each day was not up to them, but up to him. But it didn't matter; they would find out soon enough.
Let's kill these nine players who have gathered together and prepared a lot of traps to deal with us today. We can deal with the rest tomorrow, since we've already done some work.
Only after he stepped into the elevator and the doors closed did Huajiao and the others relax and start talking, "I mean... this BOSS actually took the elevator down directly, that's pretty straightforward."
Zhou Feng: "We don't know how strong the BOSS is yet, but I guess he doesn't take those players seriously at all."
Fang Hong said, "There are also hidden surveillance cameras where they set up the traps. The BOSS should know there are traps there. They're probably doomed."
Wang Fu frowned slightly. "Including today, there are still five days left. Does the BOSS really intend to divide the killing into five days? Or is it entirely up to the BOSS's own decision?"
