Chapter 551 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui: "Yes, it was well hidden. We couldn't find it. It was hidden on the other side of the border."
He knew that Guo Xia would complain to him whenever he had time about how cunning and shrewd Zhou Nanyue was, since Zhou Feng, her own father, was a team member under him.
Lin Leyou blinked. He thought of his golden equipment item, which was given to him by the system when doing missions in the real world. Therefore, he could use it in the real world without having to hand in points.
To be honest, this prop would be more useful if it were handed over to the authorities, but Lin Leyou has no such plans for the time being, which ultimately comes down to his identity.
Let's talk about it when the identity issue is resolved; it's absolutely not possible now.
Zhou Nanyue laughed as she watched Guo Xia charge towards her, dodging and moving away. "Do you think I'd be stupid enough to fight you in close combat?"
"So what if you're good at fighting? If you can't hit me, you're useless!"
Both of them had taken speed potions, and Guo Xia was indeed unable to hit him during the back-and-forth exchanges. On the contrary, Zhou Nanyue seemed to be toying with him by taking out some disposable white and blue equipment to interfere with Guo Xia.
This created some obstacles for Guo Xia.
However, Guo Xia didn't care about these tricks at all and easily dodged or broke them. Just when Zhou Nanyue had some doubts about the stun gun in his hand, Guo Xia seized on the moment when the other party was distracted and threw the stun gun directly out of his hand.
Although Zhou Nanyue was confused, he was still startled. When he tried to dodge, he found it was too late. The stun gun was already in front of him, and it didn't hurt at all!
Just as Zhou Nanyue was about to mock Guo Xia, he discovered that the stun gun that had struck him was actually turning into ashes as it flew away, disappearing right before his eyes.
Zhou Nanyue was shocked to see this and wanted to ask Guo Xia what was going on, but he soon found out for himself!
Zhou Nanyue collapsed to the ground, lying there in an odd position with her eyes wide open, as if she hadn't yet reacted.
Guo Xia walked over with a smile, "Zhou Nanyue, you're doomed. You're going to die in this instance."
He didn't waste any time; instead, he wanted to kill him immediately to avoid any accidents. Of course, while he was pulling out his knife to slash Zhou Nanyue, he also took advantage of Zhou Nanyue's inattention to stick an item on the back of his hand. This item silently merged into Zhou Nanyue's body.
At the same time, Guo Xia killed Zhou Nanyue, and Zhou Nanyue overlooked his earlier little trick because of this vicious slash.
Guo Xia looked at Zhou Nanyue's corpse and heard the system's voice in his ear, rewarding him with 1,000 points. In addition, he also received an item dropped by Zhou Nanyue.
I got a loot drop!
Killing other players in a dungeon will earn you several hundred points, plus a very low chance of getting a loot item, unless the system explicitly states that players cannot kill each other when entering the dungeon, or there are no rewards for killing.
Guo Xia looked at the equipment drops he had received, and his eyes lit up. It was actually a purple-grade item!
Logically speaking, Zhou Nanyue's backpack should have a lot of various items, so even if something dropped, it would probably be an insignificant item. But unexpectedly, she was so lucky, or rather, Zhou Nanyue was too unlucky, and a purple-grade item dropped directly. When Zhou Nanyue finds out, she will probably feel very sorry for herself!
More than that!
What Guo Xia didn't know was that Zhou Nanyue had still given the system points for this purple-grade weapon item. It was one of the very few items that he could use in the real world. What he lost was not just the item, but also the millions of points he had given to the system!
You know, he had worked himself to the bone to get those millions of points, but he never expected that failing to pass the level would deduct 300,000 points and even cause him to lose this item!
Guo Xia retired after achieving his goal, carelessly discarding Zhou Nanyue's body in the nearby weeds.
"Fu Qingqiu?"
He casually called out, wanting to see if the BOSS was here.
Lin Leyou, now known as Fu Qingqiu, appeared on a nearby tree. He sat on a branch and looked at Guo Xia with a smile. "You were looking for me?"
Guo Xia looked at the BOSS in front of him and took a deep breath. "Yes, I have something to discuss with you."
Lin Leyou, "Go ahead."
Guo Xia, "I wanted to ask you about the ancestral hall. Is it really impossible for you to get close to it?"
Lin Leyou didn't hide anything, since Guo Xia was already on his side anyway. "Yeah, do you have any good ideas?"
Guo Xia: "Do you need me to help you deal with the ancestral hall?"
Lin Leyou, "What's your plan to handle this?"
Guo Xia said, "The villagers near the ancestral hall aren't too hostile towards players yet, so I can go and give it a try."
Lin Leyou, “All the villagers are over there now, I advise you not to go.”
Guo Xia, “...Really?”
Lin Leyou said, "I have my own plans. You just need to take care of your own affairs. If I need anything else, I will contact you."
Guo Xia nodded, "Alright then, I'll head back now."
Lin Leyou didn't say anything and disappeared into the tree.
Guo Xia sighed, then turned and walked back. He took another speed potion and quickly disappeared.
Lin Leyou said, "Teacher Qin is at the ancestral hall, so there's no need to worry."
Although Qin Xingyu is already on the BOSS's side, he usually doesn't take action. However, if something happens around him, Qin Xingyu probably won't just stand by and do nothing.
Xue Rui: "Will Teacher Qin take action?"
Lin Leyou shook his head, "I don't know, but I guess so. When the time is right, I'll go ask him to see if he knows what's going on at the ancestral hall."
Xue Rui leaned over and took his hand. "Shall we go back and rest now?"
Lin Leyou turned to look at him, "You want to sleep with me?"
When he said "sleep," he meant simply sleeping. They haven't reached that point yet, and... besides, they only meet in dungeons right now, so who knows what unexpected things might happen?
Another thing is... they're both still quite young. Although they're both over eighteen, they've only just turned eighteen. Let's talk about that kind of thing later.
Lin Leyou thought about many things in a short time and soon received Xue Rui's reply, "Yes."
He was completely open and aboveboard, without hiding anything, which made Lin Leyou a little embarrassed. Was Xue Rui really such a straightforward person?
Let's go.
There's nothing else going on tonight. The villagers won't leave the vicinity of the ancestral hall tonight. Guo Xia has already killed Zhou Nanyue. Although we don't know how he'll get back to the hut, he'll definitely have his own way.
After returning to the hut, they rested until dawn. Their first priority was to head to the ancestral hall. The villagers had been frightened by them the day before and had abandoned many of their supplies on the road.
However, there should still be some people who brought food to the vicinity of the ancestral hall yesterday. It wouldn't be a problem for everyone to take care of each other. Even if some people are unwilling to share, they will probably be robbed in the end because of hostility.
When they arrived near the ancestral hall, they saw dozens of villagers arguing with about ten other villagers, both sides were very agitated.
Behind the surrounded villagers were many supplies being protected, indicating that a fight had already broken out over the supplies. It remains to be seen whether a full-blown battle will ensue.
Xue Rui: "If someone comes out looking for supplies, should we attack them?"
Lin Leyou: "Don't overthink it, attack them one by one!"
Xue Rui, "Forcing them to kill each other?"
Lin Leyou said, "Yes, after all the supplies are used up, when they realize that even if they kill each other, there will be no supplies left... even though they know it is dangerous outside and there are ghosts wandering outside, they will still come out."
"When they abandon everything, even risking their lives, to bring back some supplies, only to find that the houses they abandoned along the way have been taken by the players... what will they think?"
Xue Rui: "I'm absolutely going to risk my life."
Lin Leyou: "Just wait and see."
As expected, the villagers have not yet realized how serious the situation is. Although the number of villagers who brought supplies is not as large as those who did not, they are not pushovers either.
Unable to secure supplies, those without food or water began discussing what to do. Eventually, someone suggested going out and bringing back food that had been left on the roadside.
Some people were willing to go together, but others were terrified of ghosts and shook their heads, leaving. They figured they might as well go hungry for a while; their lives were more important.
After discussing for more than an hour, they finally came up with a round number: twenty strong, muscular men formed a team, each carrying a weapon of unknown use.
Lin Leyou looked at the wooden sticks in their hands and the only kitchen knife, and sighed deeply.
Xue Rui, "Make a move?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "The best time to act is when they leave the protection zone of the ancestral hall and are no longer able to see the road where the supplies are located."
Xue Rui, "Let me go?"
Lin Leyou shook his head, "Let my underling go, and I'll keep one to use my talent to extract souls. It's time to add another underling."
The cooldown for the Soul Drain talent has ended, so it's definitely time to use it. Giving yourself a minion is a good thing, as it allows you to do more things.
The two of them waited quietly for these people to reach the section of road they had marked out earlier. Without wasting a moment, Lin Leyou immediately dispatched four of his underlings.
The already dim sky grew even darker, especially as a cold wind began to blow in the vicinity. This cold wind felt as if it could take away body heat, and the villagers soon began to shiver.
"I can't take it anymore, it's too cold, I need to go back..."
"There's a ghost, there must be a ghost, otherwise how could the wind suddenly blow and it be so cold? I'm leaving, you can go by yourselves!"
