Chapter 436 [(*^▽^*)]
As Lin Leyou walked through the neighborhood, he saw some players gathered in the square, but he only glanced at them and didn't intend to do anything.
The mechanical spiders he got in this dungeon were indeed very useful, but he later tried hunting some more monsters to see if there were any more, but then he couldn't find any more.
It seems that this mechanical spider only appeared during the time when the problem occurred. Including the talent card we got before, this thing has never appeared in this Happy Community dungeon since that incident.
As expected, many of the props are special and only appear at special times.
His passing figure naturally attracted the attention of the players over there, but they only glanced at him casually. There were many background NPCs in this community, and they weren't surprised after seeing them so many times.
Lin Leyou bought a lot of things at the supermarket, including fruits, vegetables, meat, seafood, and even a lot of seasonings, all in preparation for cooking with Xue Rui, as she had promised.
When he returned, he saw Xue Rui standing alone under the ginkgo tree in the distance. The golden ginkgo leaves fell one after another, making Xue Rui look like he was not an ordinary person.
After that brief moment of distraction, Lin Leyou turned around. "Xiao Rui?"
Xue Rui turned around, jogged over, took half the items from his hands, and asked with a smile, "You bought so much? Can we finish it all?"
Lin Leyou said, "It's alright, two grown men can't even eat such a small amount of food?"
The two walked slowly along the road, stepping on the golden ginkgo leaves on the ground, and returned to the building, looking just like two ordinary people quietly living their lives here.
This Happy Community instance lasted for five days. Although Xue Rui was somewhat dissatisfied, five days was actually about right, and he was quite satisfied. He also had a good rest during these days.
Lin Leyou said, "Don't forget what I told you before: remember to open the dungeon right after midnight, so that you might be in the same dungeon as me. Also, don't forget the faction badge I gave you before; make sure to keep it in your inventory at all times, understand?"
If the two of them are not on the same side, it will be very troublesome. In this extremely strange dungeon, it would be quite troublesome if Lin Leyou really faced Xue Rui.
Xue Rui nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I know. I'll go now, see you tomorrow."
The instance ended quickly, Xue Rui disappeared, and Lin Leyou found himself lying back in bed. It was dark outside, and he heard a system notification in his ear, giving him the points reward for playing an NPC in the instance.
He sighed deeply, hugged his blanket, and continued to sleep, even though he wasn't sleepy at all.
He remained awake for a while after lying in bed. He had no choice but to close his eyes and return to the real world. The time in the real world was synchronized with the time in the endless world. It was also night outside the real world. It was past midnight, but the big city was still brightly lit, and the nightlife was just beginning.
Lin Leyou stood on the balcony and let out a long breath. He turned around and went back to bed to continue sleeping. He would go to the Endless World to ask someone about that strange dungeon when it was light. He couldn't disturb them in the middle of the night.
After all, Lin Wanyi is no longer alone. I wonder if her relationship with Jiang Xiali has deepened. Could they be having long phone conversations?
Thinking this, Lin Leyou, lying on the bed, also felt a little sleepy. He originally thought he wouldn't be able to fall asleep, but he didn't expect to fall asleep anyway. Maybe it was because he was now in the same world as Xue Rui.
After daybreak, Lin Leyou returned to the Endless World and immediately sent a message to Lin Wanyi to inquire about the situation of that strange instance, especially the review standards, etc.
Lin Wanyi replied instantly, "Did you apply to go to that instance to do the quest?"
Lin Leyou was a little surprised to see the message. Just as he was about to reply, Lin Wanyi called. He had no choice but to answer. Could he hang up?
"Hey? Did you really apply for that copy? Did you get it approved?"
Lin Leyou felt something was off. "I did apply, and if nothing unexpected happens, I'm supposed to go to this instance after midnight tonight. Why... are you so excited? Is there something wrong with this instance?"
Lin Wanyi said, "There are no problems, but no one has ever cleared the game yet. You need to be careful. By the way, do you have five million points? If not, you're doomed if you fail to clear the game."
Lin Leyou: "Of course there is, how could there not be? I am prepared for this. Tell me about this instance, and also, when I applied, it was during the opening of the instance in Happiness Community. Logically speaking, the time spent in the instance should not count as time, so how did the application get approved?"
Lin Wanyi pondered for a moment and said, "This instance is quite special. No matter where you apply, you will get a reply very quickly. Don't worry about that. Everyone is the same."
"Furthermore... if you want to ask about this instance, I'm sorry, I know nothing about it. After all, I've never been inside, and everyone who has been there keeps quiet about it and has signed a confidentiality agreement, so no one can say anything."
"So now that you've been chosen to go in, you're on your own. I can only remind you to be careful; there's something you don't know yet?"
Lin Leyou immediately became interested. "Tell me what news it is."
Lin Wanyi sighed, "Jiang Changdong, who tried to assassinate you before, is also going. You'd better bring that gold-plated protective shield this time, otherwise you might capsize. After all, Jiang Changdong is not someone to be trifled with."
Lin Leyou narrowed his eyes. "If you get killed inside the dungeon, the mission fails, you're immediately ejected, and five million points are deducted?"
Lin Wanyi said, "Logically speaking, that's how it is, but this instance is rather strange. Anything can happen inside, so you have to be careful. Jiang Changdong is really difficult to deal with."
Lin Leyou: "Thank you, I understand, I will be careful."
Although this time, contacting Lin Wanyi didn't yield any information about the instance, it unexpectedly revealed a surprising piece of news: Jiang Changdong, who had previously attempted to assassinate him, was also going to enter the instance.
This was indeed a bit dangerous, after all, Jiang Changdong didn't know how many trump cards he had in his hands. He quickly took out the gold-plated props that he had just returned to his backpack after the rental ended and put them into his backpack.
However, this is also an opportunity. In the previous S-level difficulty dungeon, I found that leaving the area of Golden Valley Village would deduct points, 10,000 points per minute. Could it be that the same thing happens in this strange and unknown dungeon?
If he had the chance, he could have properly plotted against Jiang Changdong in this instance. After all, that previous slash almost took his life. The fact that he hadn't gone to cause trouble for Jiang Changdong for so long didn't mean he didn't hold a grudge or give up on revenge; it just meant he hadn't found a good opportunity.
Especially after encountering his son Jiang Xiaming in the S-rank difficulty dungeon of Jingu Village, Lin Leyou would definitely have done something malicious if Jiang Xiaming hadn't been forced to hide by the police shortly after the dungeon started.
But you have to admit, Jiang Xiaming hid really well, staying hidden until the end of the dungeon, getting five million points for free! Lin Leyou knew this and was extremely unhappy about it!
Lin Leyou took a deep breath. The instance starts tomorrow, and the official entry will be after midnight.
He had never specifically considered being in the same instance as Xue Rui before, but they were always in the same instance. Now that he really wanted to be in the same instance as Xue Rui, or even be in the same faction, he wondered if the system would grant their wish.
Time passed second by second. Lin Leyou traveled back and forth between the endless world and the real world several times. Now that time was synchronized, things were much more convenient.
After all, if someone in the real world were looking for him, he could wake up immediately without losing points. He really liked this improvement; at least the system wasn't so obsessed with points anymore.
Time flies, and night falls quickly. Lin Leyou is now standing on the balcony looking at the scenery outside. This is the real world. Although there's nothing particularly interesting about the scenery in the neighborhood, he's looking at the city's night view.
Actually, it's not bad to take a look occasionally. Lin Leyou smiled slightly, turned around and went back to her room to lie down.
Lin Leyou opened his eyes in the Happiness Community. The time was the same as in the real world, a little after 10 p.m., which meant that the instance would begin in a little over an hour.
Lin Leyou touched his phone, wondering what Xue Rui was doing. He was probably still busy at the company, since Xue Rui had a lot to do, unlike Lin Leyou…
Wait! Lin Leyou suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he had gone to Qin Xingyu to practice his physical skills. But he definitely couldn't go now. He would go after he returned from this dungeon. He absolutely couldn't forget again. If he didn't improve, he would be surpassed by Xue Rui. Wouldn't that be a huge loss of face for Brother Lin?
He silently vowed to himself that he must become stronger and could not waste any more time. He had wasted an entire day today, and now that he thought about it, it seemed like he hadn't accomplished anything. That was not good!
Lin Leyou lay on the bed, tossing and turning, taking out his phone to browse posts about this unknown instance. Although he found many, they were all vague and ambiguous. Those who had been there could not reveal any information, while those who had not been there were just speculating. The posts and comments on the internet were completely unreliable.
He looked around until his eyes were tired but couldn't find anything useful, so he tossed his phone aside. "Forget it, since I can't find any information, I can only enter the instance and wait and see."
And so, as Lin Leyou waited, it quickly came to midnight, and it was time.
