Chapter 433 [(*^▽^*)]
Wang Fu chose the rooftop as his location. He went straight to the rooftop, where a strong wind mixed with unknown black mist blew against his body, subtly taking away his body heat and making his body cool down little by little.
About ten minutes later, a figure appeared behind him. "Hello, are you ready?"
Wang Fu suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Leyou. "You scared me! When did you appear? Oh right, teleportation! You can teleport. No wonder I didn't hear anything."
Lin Leyou didn't want to say anything more to him. "Don't worry, as long as you obediently close your eyes, I will let you leave quickly and without feeling anything."
Wang Fu sighed. Although he was unwilling, what could he do alone? Everyone had seen the BOSS's strength yesterday. Even a casual wave of his hand could kill a player who was putting up a fight. Last night, the nine of them worked together but it was useless. They didn't even get a scratch on the BOSS's clothes.
Resigned to his fate, Wang Fu slowly closed his eyes. He had been standing there for so long that the wind had made his body feel cold and stiff. Hopefully, this would ease the pain.
He didn't expect that when the BOSS said he would leave without feeling anything, he really meant it. When he opened his eyes and looked at the familiar room, he was completely dumbfounded.
After the system notified him that he had failed the level and how many points he had lost, he slowly realized that the BOSS was serious. He had actually died painlessly. How amazing!
When Lin Leyou left the rooftop, Wang Fu's body was lying there perfectly intact, looking as if he were asleep. He had acted very quickly, and he was sure that Wang Fu had not felt any pain.
This boss has so many skills, they're really useful. I wish I could take down one or two of them myself. Oh, I'm so tempted!
Zhou Qiao and Zhao Wan had already received news of the captain's death and told everyone about it. By this time, they had all separated, since if they couldn't win, they could only die with some dignity.
Zhou Qiao and Zhao Wan glanced at each other, but instead of staying together, they walked in different directions.
When Lin Leyou finished killing all the players except Xue Rui, he found Xue Rui waiting for him on the top floor. He slowly walked up, and when he reached the office, he found that Xue Rui had emptied the huge office.
It wasn't exactly clearing everything out, but rather moving all the things to the wall, leaving a large space in the middle empty. Seeing Lin Leyou standing outside the door, he turned around and said with a smile, "Brother Lin, can you play a match with me? I want to see if I can match Brother Lin now."
Lin Leyou blinked. "Just physical skills?"
Xue Rui nodded, "I wonder if Brother Lin will give me this opportunity?"
Lin Leyou said, "How could I refuse? Since you want it, it's settled then. Let's begin."
He took off his suit jacket and casually tossed it on the ground. As the boss and owner of the company, he was naturally wearing an expensive and elegant suit, which looked good, but he didn't like it.
Whether in his past life or this one, he prefers to be carefree, and a suit seems like a shackle to him, but Xue Rui does look good in one.
Xue Rui: "Shall we begin, Brother Lin?"
Lin Leyou said with a smile, "I won't hold back."
Xue Rui, "I couldn't ask for it more than I could have."
Xue Rui attacked first. To be honest, Xue Rui's attack speed was very fast and his strength was also great. His angles were also very tricky. But Lin Leyou had received the devilish training from Qin Xingyu.
If it were anyone else, they definitely wouldn't have lasted long, but Xue Rui was facing Lin Leyou. Of course, Lin Leyou was only dodging Qin Xingyu's attacks and hadn't actually caused any damage to Qin Xingyu.
Therefore, when faced with Xue Rui's fierce attacks, he mostly dodges and rarely retaliates. This leads Xue Rui to misunderstand that Lin Leyou is now dealing with him with ease and is just teaching him a lesson. In fact, he can defeat him at any time.
Although Xue Rui was somewhat unconvinced, he really had to admit it, because the facts were clear: his current strength was far from sufficient.
Lin Leyou is not using the BOSS's skills or other abilities right now; his pure physical skills are what he already possesses. Xue Rui took a deep breath and took a step back.
Xue Rui: "Brother Lin is really amazing. It seems I can't beat you in physical combat."
Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow slightly. What was going on? Was dodging quickly enough considered impressive? He couldn't find many opportunities to counterattack. Defeating Xue Rui would actually require a lot of effort.
If Xue Rui continues to improve at such a rapid pace, I will eventually be surpassed. Therefore, I should try to train with Qin Xingyu as much as possible in the future, and hopefully he won't be too ruthless.
Lin Leyou said, "Compared to before, you are already very good now. You have improved rapidly. Maybe next time I won't be your match."
Xue Rui was still somewhat unwilling. He wanted to be better than Lin Leyou. He didn't want to always stay behind Lin Leyou. He didn't want to always call him Brother Lin. He wanted to call him Xiao Rui, just like Lin Leyou called him. He also wanted to call him... Xiao You.
Lin Leyou suddenly noticed that Xue Rui's attacks were becoming increasingly fierce. What was going on? Had he suddenly been injected with adrenaline? However, this speed was somewhat keeping up with Qin Xingyu's.
However, while he did catch up in speed, he also exposed more openings. Lin Leyou seized one of these openings, grabbed his wrist and flung him outwards, then hooked his ankle with his foot. In that instant, he knocked Xue Rui to the ground and pinned him down.
Xue Rui lay on the ground, panting heavily, with Lin Leyou pressing down on his back. "Lin... Brother Lin?"
Lin Leyou smiled. "You admit defeat?"
Xue Rui was covered in sweat, his hair sticking to his face in clumps. He looked quite disheveled, but he was happy. Feeling Lin Leyou's warmth on his back, he smiled and nodded, "This time, I admit defeat."
But he will definitely win next time.
Lin Leyou slowly got up and pulled him up. The two sat on the ground like this. Xue Ruian quietly looked at the monotonous black mist and raging wind outside the window. From the first day he entered this instance until now, nothing outside has changed.
"Brother Lin, you...you live in this world..."
Lin Leyou narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not stop him. There were many things he could say himself, but he would not say them on his own initiative. However, if Xue Rui asked, he could answer him.
Xue Rui stopped halfway through his sentence, "Never mind... I can't cause Brother Lin any trouble."
Lin Leyou, "What trouble?"
Xue Rui tilted her head and looked at him, "No trouble?"
Lin Leyou was charmed by his appearance. "It's not a big deal. If it's something I can't say, I won't say it. If it's something I can say, then it's fine to say it."
Xue Rui: "I wonder when I'll be able to go shopping with Brother Lin?"
Lin Leyou frowned slightly. "If we're lucky, we can do it in the next dungeon run."
If the area designated for the instance is the commercial street, wouldn't that allow people to go shopping?
Xue Rui was taken aback by his answer, but then he realized that Lin Leyou had misunderstood. That was not what he meant. However, he did not correct him. It might not work now, but it might work later.
Xue Rui: "If only I could see Brother Lin anytime."
Lin Leyou paused for a moment, "Anytime..."
If they recognized each other in the real world, they could see each other whenever they wanted, and they could call each other if they couldn't see each other. But for some reason, he just doesn't want to reveal his identity right now.
Exposing a player's identity in the real world is really troublesome. He is a very low-key person, and unless absolutely necessary, he would rather not use any items and live like an ordinary person.
If the Bureau were to update his information, how could he explain that he wasn't actually a player, but a resident? If his resident identity were exposed, well... he couldn't even imagine the consequences.
Therefore, he still needs to conceal his identity as much as possible, especially since he is unsure whether Xue Rui will tell the Bureau of Management after he finds out his identity.
He certainly hoped that Xue Rui would stand by his side, but he couldn't afford to gamble. If he killed himself in this life, would there be a next life?
The two of them quietly watched the boring black wind outside. Suddenly, Lin Leyou said, "Maybe we'll encounter such props in the future. It's always good to have something to look forward to."
Xue Rui's eyes lit up. "Brother Lin thinks so too?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "Don't think too much about it now. If you encounter any doubts, just don't let them go."
Xue Rui nodded silently. He felt happy, not for any other reason than that Lin Leyou thought the same way he did. He also wanted to see him often, instead of... only being able to meet him in the dungeon.
They didn't say anything, just sat quietly until 5:50 a.m., ten minutes to go.
Xue Rui then spoke up, "Brother Lin, I should go back now."
Lin Leyou paused slightly. Should he make a move? Of course he should. If he didn't, wouldn't that be letting Xue Rui kill himself? That wouldn't be good for Xue Rui.
He took a deep breath, didn't hesitate for long, faced Xue Rui, reached out and cupped Xue Rui's face in his hands, looking at him gently, "Close your eyes."
Xue Rui glanced at him again, then obediently closed his eyes, completely unguarded, as if the person in front of him wasn't trying to kill him, but rather to protect him.
Lin Leyou slowly approached...
I really didn't feel anything at all! Brother Lin is indeed... very gentle.
Xue Rui smiled slightly, opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the room, as if he hadn't come to his senses yet, but the emotionless mechanical prompts of the system echoed in his ears.
"System notification: Level failed, 10,000 points deducted. Please try again."
