Chapter 54 [Seeking support and adding to favorites]
When Lin Leyou handed the pork to the chef to receive payment, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He subconsciously stopped what he was doing and stood still.
Her gaze swept over the chef, then back to herself and their positions, before she realized that the chef was standing a little further back when handing her the money than she had a few days before.
In other words, to get this money, one must step out of the iron gate with one foot.
He suddenly looked up at the chef's face and found that the chef had not yet recovered his expression.
Those eyes were overflowing with greed and appetite! It looked like they were about to drool.
If it were before, he wouldn't have been so obvious. This time, even after Lin Leyou noticed, he didn't change his expression. Instead, he grinned and said in a strange, shrill voice, "Oh dear, you've been found out..."
Lin Leyou narrowed his eyes, looking very unhappy. His previous feeling was correct; this chef was secretly coveting him, but for some reason, he hadn't made a move before.
Now I feel a little more relaxed.
"What do you mean, chef?"
The chef, in a slightly cheeky tone, said, "Don't be angry, I was just joking. After all, we're all in the same boat."
Although he said that, his expression didn't change at all. His eyes were fixed on Lin Leyou's chest, making him look like a pervert.
Lin Leyou sensed that the chef wanted to make a move against him, but he still had some concerns, such as not being able to step into his territory.
Seeing the chef reach the money inside the iron gate, Lin Leyou took it from him. Suddenly seized by a mischievous impulse, he lowered his voice and teased, "Want it?"
The chef's smile faded slightly. "Hmm?"
He seemed not to have heard what Lin Leyou said clearly.
Lin Leyou repeated, "Do you want it?"
The chef looked at the curve of Lin Leyou's lips, and his smile vanished completely. His face turned cold, and his eyes, which looked like they were about to pop out, were, to be honest, quite terrifying.
If players saw this, they would probably be scared away.
However, this did not frighten Lin Leyou. He had already discovered that since becoming a resident of the Endless World, he had become very accepting of similar scenarios.
So far, he hasn't encountered any scenes he can't accept. He can even accept killing a player with his own hands, let alone just the chef's expression.
He doesn't look as scary as he does in the mirror!
The chef said, "You'd better stay inside and not come out."
Lin Leyou replied, "If you want it, come in and find me."
If Lin Leyou's guess is correct, once he leaves his own territory and becomes an ordinary butcher, he is likely no match for the chef in the public areas of Qingshui Town.
However, once the chef enters his own territory and is weakened, he is no match for his own opponent who has been strengthened, which is why he behaves this way.
Perhaps the players have suffered heavy losses these past few days, but they have also acquired many crucial items, so it's time for the chef to go out hunting.
The chef's hunting targets weren't the players, but rather the other mini-bosses in Clearwater Town.
Lin Leyou is now 100% certain that the disappearance or death of the previous butcher was definitely related to this chef.
In addition, the hotel owner wondered if Jiang Xiali, who had just arrived with him, had also been targeted by the chef.
It's a pity he can't go out yet.
Lin Leyou didn't even know if dying in the Endless World would truly mean death, preventing him from ever returning to the Endless World, nor did he know if it would affect his existence in the real world.
He needs to absolutely ensure his own safety before he knows more detailed information.
The chef said, "I'll be there soon... very soon..."
Lin Leyou squinted as he watched the chef slowly disappear from his sight, pondering what the chef meant by saying they were all in the same boat.
Does that mean you're referring to the seven minor bosses in Qingshui Town?
Less than two hours later, the players appeared. They were near the slaughterhouse, but they did not approach or take any other action.
Lin Leyou looked through the iron gate at the players gathered in the distance and soon spotted familiar figures. Zhou Feng and Xue Rui were among them, making a total of twelve players.
Are these all the players?
You can tell from their expressions and actions that these players are not fools; they all have enough skill to survive until now.
Zhou Feng: "The chef has gone far away."
Xue Rui didn't speak, but Fang Hong said, "The chef and the butcher's conversation just now didn't seem very friendly."
An Xiu, the newcomer she used to dislike, is dead. Fang Hong is no longer as sharp as before; she just can't stand delicate, innocent-looking people.
Through these two days of operations, everyone has witnessed Fang Hong's formidable strength. It is said that her older brother is a special forces soldier who trained her from a young age.
Although she didn't join the army, her skills were absolutely top-notch, and of course, her eyesight was also excellent.
Xue Rui: "This is a point we can take advantage of."
Fang Hong: "Now only the butcher and the cook are left..."
Speaking of this, Fang Hong was really getting frustrated. "I never expected that the quest item in the forest would be a skull..."
"So what exactly is going on? Is it really just a matter of finding the right thing? There's no need to understand the background story?"
Zhou Feng said, "I feel like all these things are connected. Maybe there really is a story behind them."
Xue Rui: "Do we need to figure this out?"
Zhou Feng said, "The mission has no requirements, so let's be on the safe side and complete the specific tasks first. Besides, even if we investigate now, no one will tell us, or the other residents in the town are also kept in the dark and have no idea about this."
Fang Hong said, "Let's think about how to get something from these two bosses first."
Zhou Feng said, "The only way now is to let the two of them kill each other. That way we will have a chance. The most important thing is that we still don't know what kind of props the chef has."
Xue Rui said, "Let's think of a way. We can't go directly to the chef or the butcher now... The butcher is fine, he doesn't seem to be leaving his territory, but the chef..."
Fang Hong gritted her teeth and said, "This chef is likely to be wandering around outside looking for us. What should we do? We can't keep hiding forever, or we'll eventually be found!"
Zhou Feng, "Do you have any good ideas?"
