Chapter 431 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui then realized that there were many things he could learn from this company, things that could even be directly applied to his own company in the real world, and that it had many advanced concepts.
He even eavesdropped outside offices where people were having meetings. There were many things he didn't know before, and no one taught him. Or rather, no one taught him; such concepts simply hadn't even appeared yet.
Xue Rui gained a lot from this day. It seems that there are many things to learn in these dungeons besides items and points. For example, the staff canteen. If there were any chefs among the players this time, they might be able to learn from them in the kitchen.
At dinner time, the eight of them met up together in the staff canteen and ate happily, seemingly not worried about the BOSS's arrival at all. Anyone who didn't know better would think they had a foolproof plan.
Actually, they were just going with the flow. If they could kill, they would; if they couldn't, they would simply die and go back. In any case, if they failed in one instance, they would just move on to the next one, and they would eventually win.
Even if we fail this time, the loss won't be too great. After all, I completed a hidden quest and received 5,000 points, plus the miscellaneous points I had before. Although I will still lose a little.
But it's better than the players who died before, since none of them completed the hidden quest. Now they can just relax and do nothing.
Xue Rui finished the last bite of meat. "There are three minutes left until six o'clock. The boss will definitely come to see us tonight. After finishing this last meal, we're going to leave."
Sichuan Pepper slurped down the last mouthful of soup. "Wow... this is really good, Captain. Do you think we can take down the BOSS?"
Xue Rui said, "We dream faster when we're asleep. We're definitely no match for this BOSS. Let's all do our best and try our best, but don't waste too many items, it's a complete waste."
Sichuan peppercorn: "So, Captain, you've already given up on even you?"
Xue Rui did not answer her question directly, but said, "Remember to put the items you have in your backpack before you die, otherwise they will be left in this instance."
Huajiao suddenly laughed, "I previously obtained a special item that I can use to mark other items. As long as the item is marked, it will automatically return to my inventory before I leave the dungeon. Of course, there is a prerequisite: the item cannot be in someone else's inventory."
Fang Hong: "So, if another player gets hold of it and puts it in their inventory, even if the item is marked, you can't take it back, right?"
Huajiao nodded, "But I won't let my props fall to that point. I love all my props deeply, and I can't leave without them every time I go."
Unless it was a limited-use item that she used herself, or it was destroyed beyond repair.
Xue Rui said, "This prop is not something everyone has. Those who don't have a similar prop should take note. All the props in our backpacks are hard-earned, so I hope everyone will pay attention."
Wang Fu: "Wow, he truly is a great captain. I really can't compare to him."
Zhou Qiao said, "It's rare that you have self-awareness. From now on, with Captain Xue around, you should stand aside. Of course, if you want to act cute in front of us, we might call you captain again."
Wang Fu pointed at them with trembling hands, "Oh, oh, we haven't even officially lived together yet, and your hearts have already flown away. Do you like Xue Rui that much? What's wrong with me?"
He was crying and wiping away tears, but Zhou Qiao and Zhao Wan were completely unaffected. After all, Wang Fu loved acting, and he didn't actually want to be the team leader, if it weren't for the fact that he was the only man among the three...
After pretending for a while, Wang Fu realized that no one was paying attention to him, so he looked at them accusingly and said, "Seriously? Aren't you going to comfort me at all?"
Zhou Feng stood up, walked over and sat down next to him, then reached out and pulled him into his arms. "Don't cry, baby."
"Pfft!" Huajiao burst out laughing. "Hahahaha!!"
Fang Hong was also slapping the table and laughing wildly, while Zhao Wan and Zhou Qiao leaned against Hua Jiao, laughing so hard they couldn't speak. Even Ding Baishuang, who rarely showed any expression, had a slight smile on her lips.
Xue Rui pretended not to see it and glanced in other directions. At least he didn't directly laugh at Wang Fu. Wang Fu was completely stunned at this moment, and it wasn't until Zhou Feng helped him up that he came to his senses.
"Uncle Feng?" Wang Fu stared blankly at him, on the verge of tears. "Did you do this on purpose?"
Zhou Feng was puzzled. "Didn't you say you wanted to comfort them? Isn't that how you comfort a child?"
Wang Fu sighed, "Uncle Feng, I'm not a child anymore."
Zhou Feng said, “In my eyes, you are all children. If you want to act cute, just come to me. I am older than you all, so don’t be shy about acting cute with me.”
Zhao Wan and Zhou Qiao looked at him with teasing expressions, and Wang Fu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He, who was usually thick-skinned, now felt a little ashamed.
Xue Rui: "Time's up, is everyone ready?"
Huajiao glanced at it and said, "It is indeed six o'clock, but last night the boss didn't come down until several hours after six. Don't we need to rush? The employees have just finished get off work. The boss won't come out until they've all left the company..."
Before she could finish speaking, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the staff cafeteria, "..."
Not only Huajiao, but everyone else saw Lin Leyou's figure. They were all shocked because the surveillance equipment placed above had not captured his figure.
Fortunately, Lin Leyou didn't go crazy and make a move right now. He came down to eat, and the food here was indeed delicious, just like the food in many restaurants in Endless City.
After ordering the food, they went into the same private room as yesterday. Only after he went in and closed the door did the atmosphere between Xue Rui and the others ease.
Huajiao patted his chest. "Luckily, I didn't say anything bad just now, otherwise the BOSS would definitely kill me first. But why did he suddenly appear outside the door?"
Zhou Feng: "This BOSS might also be able to teleport, just like the female secretary's teleportation skill."
Wang Fu: "Yes, we should have guessed it. After all, the female secretary's teleportation gave us quite a fright. Since the BOSS has the skills of other elite monsters, he must also have this teleportation skill."
Zhou Qiao: "My God, I think we should just wait to die. How can we possibly defeat a boss like this? Or is it that we haven't found the right strategy? Is it the only correct thing to do to go up to the top floor and kill the boss during the day?"
When she said those words, everyone was stunned, even Xue Rui was taken aback. During the day, you can't kill elite monsters or ordinary ghosts, or you'll be wanted and become a target of public criticism.
But what if the players team up during the day to go to the top floor and kill the BOSS? Even if they do that, they'll be wanted by the authorities, so what? Once the BOSS is dead, the dungeon ends, right?
Even if you're wanted, it seems like it won't matter. After clearing the dungeon, everyone will return to the real world. Why would anyone stay in this dungeon world?
Even Zhou Qiao herself was increasingly convinced that she was absolutely right. "Why didn't I think of that before? Why? What is this all about... Now we can't even do it, since we're all going to die tonight!"
Xue Rui said, "Going up there to kill the BOSS during the day probably won't be that easy. Don't forget that he is the BOSS of this entire instance. Even if the ghosts can't use their skills or transform during the day, everyone in the building except the players should be protecting the BOSS."
Zhou Feng said, "That's true. It's impossible for someone to just casually get to the top floor and be able to break into the office and kill the BOSS like that. There must be something we don't know."
Fang Hong said, "Alright, stop thinking about it. Anyway, we don't have a chance to try the method you mentioned now. If we have the chance to come to this instance again in the future, we can give it a try."
Wang Fu: "Probably not, right? No player has ever entered the same instance twice, so we can't come to this instance a second time. But if we encounter something similar, we can give it a try."
Fang Hong: "That's exactly what I meant. Are you going to argue with me, Wang Xiaofu?"
Wang Fu's eye twitched. "My name isn't Wang Xiaofu. You can call me Captain Wang."
Fang Hong: "Huh? Didn't you acknowledge our captain as your new captain?"
Wang Fu smiled and said, "That's after this instance ends, when we meet you at Xue Rui's villa. Now? It's not time yet!"
Fang Hong was too lazy to argue with him, so she turned around and chatted with her girlfriends. Even though the BOSS was not far away, they still chatted happily.
Once again ignored, Wang Fu sighed again. He looked at Xue Rui and asked, "Am I really that unpopular with women? How come so many girls like me?"
Xue Rui remarked, "Maybe if you changed your gender, many people would like you."
Wang Fu was stunned. "Huh?"
It's like a string snapped in his head. Change gender? What do you mean by changing gender?
Xue Rui: "You really mean it? I was just kidding."
Wang Fu was truly stunned. Was this a joke? A joke...
At this point, Xue Rui stood up and walked to the back. Everyone looked at him, wondering where he was going, but when they saw where he was going, they were all shocked.
They tried to stop Xue Rui, but by then Xue Rui had already reached the door of the private room and reached out to push it open. Wang Fu didn't care about what he had just said and just stared at the scene in disbelief.
He was in a daze for a moment, what could have happened in such a short time? Why would Xue Rui want to die?!
He was about to speak when Xue Rui opened the door and went in, closing it behind him. Everyone stared blankly at the closed door.
Sichuan peppercorns: "So... what do we do now?"
Zhou Feng: "To be honest, I don't know either."
Fang Hong: "Should we prepare to wait for our deaths?"
