Chapter 429 [(*^▽^*)]
The remaining seven players were hiding nearby, but when they saw how quickly the two players died, they were filled with fear. Two of them, who had worked before, even thought they might not die that night. Without saying goodbye to the others, they ran away.
Lin Leyou wasn't going to be polite to these players; they weren't Xue Rui.
These demoralized players didn't last long at all. He could easily kill them by simply searching for them. To be honest, if these people had grouped together and used some random items to deal with him, they might have been somewhat effective, but they were running away separately like this.
Each time he only needs to face one or two players at most. Even if there are a lot of points and items, how much damage can such a small number of people do to him?
After killing nine players, he didn't linger downstairs. Instead, he took the elevator to the top floor and returned to his office. Meanwhile, Xue Rui and the others were still in the staff cafeteria...
Wang Fu: "They really didn't come looking for us, but I didn't expect the BOSS to kill nine players so easily tonight. Now there are only eight of us left, and there are still four days left... Does that mean they'll kill two players each day?"
Sichuan peppercorns: "So, who are we going to kill tomorrow?"
Their gazes were all fixed on Wang Fu and his two companions. After all, Xue Rui's group of five had been diligently completing their tasks since the following day, after being reminded of their duties.
Wang Fu and the other two felt a chill run down their spines from those stares.
"Haha, that seems to be true. You guys do the most work. If the BOSS makes a move tomorrow, the target will definitely be the three of us. I just don't know if he'll kill all three of us or just pick two to kill."
Xue Rui was silent for a moment, then said, "The BOSS has already returned to the top floor. He probably won't come out to hunt us down again tonight. Everyone, let's disperse for now. As for tomorrow night..."
Wang Fu touched his hair and continued, "Let's talk about tomorrow tomorrow. We haven't had a proper rest since the first day. I don't want to become a stinky man. I'm going to take a shower first."
Zhou Qiao and Zhao Wan obviously wanted to go too, so they took Hua Jiao, Fang Hong, and Ding Baishuang with them, while Wang Fu took Zhou Feng with him.
They wanted to take Xue Rui with them, but Xue Rui shook his head, "You guys go first, I want to be alone for a while, I'll come find you later."
Wang Fu blinked, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't. "Okay, we'll go first then."
After they all left, Xue Rui slowly got up. He knew that although they were gone, the surveillance equipment was still on the 43rd floor, and they didn't dare to go to the top floor.
If Xue Rui wanted to avoid their sight, he could only go up from the outside.
He walked to the window, and after confirming that there were no surveillance cameras, props, or people around, he opened the window and slowly climbed up to the window of the top-floor office, where he hung.
At that moment, Lin Leyou hadn't entered the monitoring room yet; he was sitting in the chair in the office. He had already seen Xue Rui come up, so when he saw him hanging outside the window, Lin Leyou wasn't surprised. He got up, walked to the window, and opened it.
Xue Rui turned and came in, standing in front of Lin Leyou. "Brother Lin?"
Lin Leyou didn't say anything, but slowly closed the window. "What? Now you know to come find me?"
Xue Rui: "Didn't I... not know you were coming?"
Lin Leyou pulled him to sit on the sofa. "Didn't you always contact me as soon as you entered the dungeon? Why didn't you contact me this time? I've missed you a lot since we haven't seen each other for six months."
Xue Rui was stunned for a moment. Had six months also passed in the Endless World?
"I...I just don't want to bother Brother Lin. After all, whenever I'm around, Brother Lin always feels restricted when doing missions, and I feel a little uneasy."
Lin Leyou was slightly taken aback. "You really think so?"
Xue Rui nodded. "So... I think we shouldn't group up for dungeons together in the future. It's better for all of us. Don't you think so, Brother Lin?"
Lin Leyou's lips curled into a smile. "I knew it would be this problem."
Xue Rui looked at him. Although Lin Leyou's current appearance had nothing to do with his original appearance, he could still see the feeling of Lin Leyou in him.
"Brother Lin?"
Lin Leyou took out two faction badges he had prepared beforehand from his backpack. "Here, take this one. Remember to keep it in your backpack at all times. Come here every day after midnight. I'll come with you, okay?"
Xue Rui paused for a moment after seeing the faction badge, then picked up the one Lin Leyou had pushed toward him. "This is a faction badge?"
Lin Leyou: "Yes, isn't this just right for us?"
Xue Rui smiled slightly, "It really suits us. Thank you, Brother Lin. I'll keep it in my backpack."
Lin Leyou: "That's right. From now on, we're on the same side, so there won't be any opposing missions. Can I rest assured now?"
The smile on Xue Rui's face was one that Lin Leyou had never seen before, which showed that he was really happy.
"From now on, you can only come once a day. How will you and your teammates make arrangements?"
Xue Rui said, "Coming to the dungeon with them doesn't mean we'll be in the same team. As long as we're careful, they won't notice anything amiss. Besides... they won't always be with me."
Lin Leyou: "Huh? They'll actually leave you behind to clear the dungeon?"
Xue Rui shook his head, "No, it's... the rule is that you only need to participate at least once a month. They're different from me; they don't come every day."
Lin Leyou nodded, "Oh, I see... That's quite convenient. If any teammates come along, remember to let me know, and I'll pretend a little."
Xue Rui pursed his lips slightly, "I understand. Then... can I go to Brother Lin's house for a while later?"
Lin Leyou paused for a moment, "You're going to Happiness Community?"
Xue Rui: "Yeah, I want to go."
Just as Lin Leyou said, they hadn't seen each other for six months. Xue Rui really wanted to spend some quality time with Lin Leyou, otherwise he might become extreme again.
Lin Leyou said, "But I'm not sure if Happiness Community will open a new instance in the near future."
Xue Rui could only sneak into the Happiness Community when a dungeon was open. He wasn't a player participating in the dungeon; he was smuggled in without any benefits or accommodation.
But he could stay at Lin Leyou's house; after all, he was just going to see Lin Leyou, and he didn't care about anything else.
Xue Rui said, "It's okay, I can give it a try. Once it succeeds, it will be open."
Lin Leyou said, "Okay, then I'll stay at home. If I'm not home, I've already given you the key and access, so you can just stay at my house."
Xue Rui, "Where is Brother Lin if he's not home?"
Lin Leyou thought that he might return to the real world during the day, since the time flow of the two worlds had now reached a one-to-one ratio and was completely synchronized, but he couldn't say that here.
"I mean, what if I happen to be out? After all, the dungeon doesn't necessarily open at night; it could be during the day."
Xue Rui nodded, "I understand."
Lin Leyou suddenly asked, "Do you deduct 1,000 points for each successful entry into the dungeon, or do you deduct 1,000 points for each attempt?"
Xue Rui blinked. "Of course, points will only be deducted if you successfully enter the instance."
Lin Leyou nodded, "That's good."
Xue Rui suddenly stood up and sat down next to Lin Leyou, then looked at Lin Leyou's surprised expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Leyou shook his head. "It's nothing."
Although he found it strange, Lin Leyou was still quite happy. He felt good that Xue Rui was close to him, at least it was better than when he got close to those other girls.
Xue Rui, "Who is Brother Lin going to kill next?"
Lin Leyou: "Of course it's that trio. You guys are last. How about it, are you confident?"
Xue Rui: "Brother Lin must have already planned to go easy on me, right?"
Lin Leyou paused slightly before realizing he had been tricked. "Sigh... these few points are nothing to me, anyway, we'll be on the same side next time."
Xue Rui said, "These few points are nothing to me, Brother Lin, you don't need to worry about me."
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui never mentioned Xue Rui's team members. Of course, if they failed to pass the level, these team members would lose a few points, but it wouldn't be a serious problem.
Lin Leyou was still a bit conflicted. Since he had been discovered, he might as well hold back quietly. After all, Xue Rui didn't know exactly how strong he was now.
Then Xue Rui added, "I knew you secretly let me through, Brother Lin, you don't think I can't tell whether you let me through or not, do you?"
"You didn't use your full strength against those players just now, was it because you didn't want me to see it?"
At this point, Lin Leyou felt a little guilty. He hadn't used his full strength because they weren't strong enough and didn't deserve it. Of course, there was also the reason Xue Rui had mentioned earlier. In short... he wasn't wrong.
Xue Rui was very happy, but he still sighed, "Brother Lin, you said it yourself, we'll be on the same side anyway. How can we fail if we're on the same side as Brother Lin? We can make up for the points we lost this time in big amounts later."
Lin Leyou blinked, but didn't hesitate. "In that case, let's listen to Xiao Rui this time."
He reached out and ruffled his hair, taking full advantage of the situation. Xue Rui stared at him blankly, feeling a little embarrassed, but he didn't stop him. Right now, it was only him; if it were anyone else... Xue Rui would absolutely not allow it.
Even his grandfather... Xue Rui thought of his grandfather in the old house. Even his grandfather was now his only grandfather-grandson relationship. Sometimes there was some warmth between them, but more often he felt anger towards Xue Zhengyang.
The reason my grandfather treats me well is entirely because of blood ties. In addition, my grandfather is traditional and does not recognize remarriage or illegitimate children. Because of my legitimacy, my grandfather has always stood by my side.
