Chapter 440 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui thought the same way. If he could afford the deduction of points, the less the better. But right now, he couldn't afford to deduct 100 million points, nor could he afford 200 million. So, he naturally had to choose the one with the higher reward. The two of them working together would definitely win!
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui both chose the hidden missions, and the contents of their mission lists were changed. Killing any bandit who was planning to go to Xiushan Village would earn them 500,000 points.
I don't know if killing a bandit will earn him and Xue Rui 500,000 points each, or if they need to split the points equally. Oh well, even if they split it equally, it's still a lot of points.
In addition, all the previously mentioned rewards are still there. The previous quest to find treasures in Xiushan Village and bring them back has completely disappeared, and in its place is a map!
While Lin Leyou was looking at the map, Xue Rui was also looking at it. It was a route map between mountains, and it looked like... like the lost path that led from the outside to Xiushan Village.
It's also the only road into Xiushan Village! Lin Leyou suddenly felt that being an undercover agent lurking in the team wasn't so bad, since he could actually get the route map in advance.
Xue Rui said, "Brother Lin, this route map is definitely real, which means we can go and make some arrangements in advance? If we go now, we can still meet at the entrance tomorrow morning."
Lin Leyou said, “You can go, but I can’t. Although I don’t know what Jiang Changdong will do, he is definitely watching me with his devices. If I go, he will find out immediately. If I want to make a move, I will definitely have to go deep into the mountains and forests. As long as I hide quickly, his monitoring devices will not be able to monitor me.”
Xue Rui said, "Brother Lin, there's an item in the system shop that can detect whether you're being monitored. Have you checked this before? You can buy one. I bought one too."
Lin Leyou paused slightly, then opened the system shop and selected to search for monitoring and surveillance items, but he did not find the one Xue Rui mentioned. Just as he was about to ask Xue Rui, he sent another message.
"Search for and scan surveillance equipment."
Lin Leyou entered the name with some skepticism, and actually found a purple-grade item. The item's effect was very simple: it could detect whether the user was being monitored.
Regardless of the type of surveillance, whether it's inside or outside the instance, whether it's an obvious surveillance camera or something secretly monitoring or even listening in, it can all be detected!
However, it can only detect whether it is being monitored, but it cannot detect where the thing monitoring it is. Logically speaking, this is a useless item, but even so, it is still a purple item!
Upon seeing the price—one million points—Lin Leyou gasped, but ultimately bought it anyway. With this item, at least he could feel at ease most of the time.
He spent one million points to buy this item, which was a watch-shaped device that he wore directly on his wrist. The watch could also tell time, and when he compared it with the time on the clock, he found that it matched! There were two dots on each side of the dial, one blue and one red.
A red dot indicates that you are being monitored or listened to, while a blue dot indicates that you are in a safe period and there are no monitoring or listening devices. I don't know if this is true, but Lin Leyou saw a blue dot!
In other words, Jiang Changdong, that old bastard, didn't even arrange any tools to monitor me. Was he really that careless? Or did he think that I was no match for him in a dungeon?!
Therefore, we can conclude that Jiang Changdong did not take Lin Leyou seriously at all, and even underestimated him to the point of not even providing a single surveillance device.
Lin Leyou didn't know whether to be happy or angry. This old guy actually looked down on him so much. Well then... he would give him a surprise later.
Xue Rui: "Brother Lin, how's the situation? Do you have surveillance cameras on your end?"
Lin Leyou was angry, but she couldn't take it out on Xue Rui. "No."
Xue Rui was also stunned when he saw this answer. He was a little confused at first, but he quickly thought of the same thing as Lin Leyou: "It's okay, we'll kill him when the time comes."
Lin Leyou said, "Even if we kill him and he fails the mission, it will only cost us 100 million points. He's been around for so many years, so those points are definitely not much to him."
Xue Rui said, "It's alright. We'll find a way later. S-rank dungeons all have a point deduction system, so this SS-rank one should definitely have one too. If we look carefully, we should be able to find it."
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui started speculating wildly, but since there was no way to verify it now, they quickly ended their pointless guessing. "Let's make plans after we set off."
Xue Rui said, "I wonder if there's any way to find out how many players in these three teams are like Brother Lin, and how many are NPCs in the dungeon. If we knew that, it would be much simpler."
Lin Leyou said, "We won't go out tonight to avoid being discovered and causing unnecessary trouble. We'll make plans when we set off tomorrow. Just look at this map and you'll know that this road is definitely not easy to travel."
Xue Rui: "Wouldn't it be better to just fly there by helicopter?"
Lin Leyou's lips twitched. "It's not that simple. You need to apply for permission to fly a helicopter, right? And flying a helicopter in such a remote place is practically like shouting through a megaphone that there's something going on here and you need to come and see!"
Xue Rui: "That's true."
Lin Leyou said, "Besides, there are a total of ninety people in the three teams. Do you think any of them can come up with a helicopter? And... it's been decades since the villagers of Xiushan Village moved out. Are you sure you can find that once isolated little village from a helicopter?"
Xue Rui: "It's long been covered by the plants in the mountains, isn't it?"
Lin Leyou said, "That's right, so we still need to find the original path leading to Xiushan Village, and then find some of the remains left behind in Xiushan Village. Only in this way can we find the treasure little by little."
Xue Rui: "Our mission is to kill all the bandits and prevent them from taking anything."
Lin Leyou: "Good, get a good rest tonight, and we'll meet up tomorrow!"
Xue Rui: "Okay, Brother Lin, you should get some rest too."
Lin Leyou put down his phone and leaned back comfortably on the sofa. He hadn't expected that Jiang Changdong would trust him so much. He looked at the inconspicuous blue dot on the watch face and felt a pang of unease.
It's really infuriating to be looked down upon, but if I were to face Jiang Changdong head-on now, I would definitely be no match for him.
He checked his items and talents. He had three talents in total: the Ghost Wall talent, which could be used once every two hours, and each Ghost Wall could last for up to two hours. If used properly, it could be used continuously; and the Attack Enhancement passive talent, which doubled the damage of all attacks.
The last one is the Soul Transformation talent obtained in S-rank difficulty dungeons. It lasts for ten minutes each time, can only cause soul damage, and can also possess unconscious bodies, that is, control the corpse that has just been lost.
If I use the Soul Transformation talent, will the soul damage I deal be doubled when I fight someone? It should be possible, as this attack doubling includes all attacks.
"Phew..." Lin Leyou let out a long breath. No matter how powerful Ren Jiang Changdong was, he probably never imagined that he could have three talents.
Even Jiang Xiali's parents were so excited when they got a talent card, let alone three talents. That would be his real trump card.
He has something even more powerful... the upgraded purple-grade item, the Black Makeup Mirror. Right now, the Black Makeup Mirror contains the image of Tiancheng, the nearly invincible BOSS from the previous dungeon!
With their own tools and equipment, this combination doesn't seem like they'd be so easy to kill, right? Not to mention the dangers they might encounter along the way.
He refused to believe that monsters beyond common sense wouldn't appear, and he didn't know if these monsters attacked indiscriminately, or if he and Xue Rui would also be attacked.
Well, there's always a way. Lin Leyou packed up the things she was going to take with her, then quickly organized her backpack, putting all the items she might need into the most convenient compartments.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Lin Leyou himself didn't sleep much, as he was on guard against Jiang Changdong's surprise attack or other unexpected events. But tonight is surprisingly peaceful.
They all arrived at the designated location before the agreed time yesterday, which was the place Jiang Changdong specifically mentioned, and it was also the starting point of the path leading to Xiushan Village that he had mentioned.
After Lin Leyou and Xue Rui compared the complete map, they found that this really was the starting point. Jiang Changdong hadn't lied, and of course, he had no reason to lie.
Even if he were incredibly skilled, he couldn't possibly find Xiushan Village alone. He would definitely need other cannon fodder to help him explore; otherwise, even he would have to fail and leave.
However, while completing his mission, he also successfully encountered Lin Leyou. He had been dreaming of getting back the gold-plated defensive item that his unfilial daughter had lost.
There are other defensive items with similar effects, but none are as convenient as this one! Plus, it requires very few points to use! Most importantly, it has no cooldown!
Recharging 100 points increases energy by 1%. When energy reaches 100%, it can definitely block one attack. There is no limit to the type and strength of the attack. In other words, as long as the energy is charged to 100%, you can become invincible!
After consuming 100% of this energy, you can recharge it and gain invincibility again. As long as you have enough points, you can keep getting this invincible defense!
Whenever Jiang Changdong thought about the effect of this prop, he would grit his teeth in hatred!
