Chapter 569 [(*^▽^*)]
Guo Xia: "Hmm? What is it? Tell me."
Lin Leyou hesitated for a moment, "It's just... could you not reveal my information or where I live? I'm afraid someone might cause me trouble."
Guo Xia thought for a moment. In fact, many people who call the police have various concerns, and what Lin Leyou mentioned is the most common one. "Don't worry, we will not disclose the private information of the person who called the police. I will not mention a word about your matter."
He arrested Qian Feng because Qian Feng was a player and had nothing to do with anything else. Of course... it was best not to let Qian Feng find out anything bad about him.
Lin Leyou: "Okay, then I'm relieved."
Guo Xia: "It's nothing, and I should thank you for cooperating with our work."
Lin Leyou was relieved and hung up the phone. Now he just had to wait for Guo Xia's message. Once they had arranged the meeting place, he could send a message to Qian Feng.
Qian Feng is probably currently searching the entire country for Rong Yuwen and Guo Chengzheng, as well as all the players whose identities he could probably confirm that he encountered in the Haitang Village instance.
Of course, as a member of the provincial capital's management bureau, he cannot work across regions. At most, he can only upload information to headquarters and then distribute the identity information of these people to departments in various regions.
Lin Leyou leisurely continued watching TV and munching on duck parts. These things couldn't be kept for long, so he had to eat them quickly. Besides, even if they could be kept, it wouldn't matter; he could just buy new ones to eat the next day.
He stayed in the real world until almost midnight before returning to his room to lie down, but he didn't turn off the light. Turning off the light would mean he was asleep, while leaving it on meant he wasn't asleep yet.
Even if someone outside wanted to come in and do something bad, they would wait until the lights were turned off.
Lin Leyou returned to the Happiness Community in the Endless World while lying in bed. He woke up and touched his stomach, but didn't feel hungry. So the food in the two worlds was the same, and they had to eat separately. However, he found that he ate much more than before, probably because... he didn't need to eat separately, but he had to eat twice as much.
He first retrieved the gold-plated defensive items he had rented out. He planned to enter the dungeon again after midnight. This time, he checked the recruitment panel on the system a few minutes in advance.
This time, he didn't want to choose dungeons that were too difficult. If it were always this difficult, wouldn't he and Xue Rui have no time to spend together properly?
He randomly picked a task with a difficulty level of B. Yes, it was a task with a difficulty level of B, not a dungeon with a difficulty level of B. He didn't know the overall difficulty of the dungeon; it was just that the task he accepted had this difficulty.
The details of the mission are currently unknown; you will only find out after entering the instance.
After choosing his task, Lin Leyou checked the time. There were only three minutes left until midnight. He quickly touched his jade ring. "Xiao Rui, are you ready? This task will be relatively simple. Just think of it as a vacation. Is that okay?"
Xue Rui had already returned to the lounge, where he was also taking a break at the designated time. "No problem."
Of course, I can only guarantee that I will be in the same instance and faction as Lin Leyou to know what kind of mission he will be in. As for what kind of mission he will be in, well... it may not be 100% the same as Lin Leyou's.
As midnight approached, Lin Leyou entered the dungeon. After a brief period of darkness, he regained his sense of light.
Lin Leyou slowly got up and found himself in a small wooden house. Although it was small, it had everything he needed. Soon he received a memory from the system.
He came to this mountain for a vacation, and this place is indeed a vacation cabin in the mountains. To ensure the experience of tourists, many cabins are quite retro, and the distance between the cabins is also quite far.
The nearest hut to him is a ten-minute walk along a pebbled path.
Lin Leyou's identity is that of an NPC tourist. He got up and went to the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror and found that he looked about 30% like his original self. He was also using his own body and name.
"System prompt: Resident Lin Leyou, please successfully kill a player to complete the task and earn 50,000 points. Failure to complete the task will deduct 10,000 points."
He touched the black jade ring and contacted Xue Rui, who quickly replied, "I'm in cabin number five, what about you?"
Lin Leyou opened the door and glanced at the number hanging on the outside. "This is Hut Number Ten. Are you coming to find me, or should I come to you?"
Xue Rui: "It's okay, I'll come find you."
Lin Leyou did not refuse, since each vacation cabin had a standard map, which was a map of the entire mountain, showing the exact location of all the cabins and all the routes on the mountain.
Xue Rui only needs to take a map and follow the marked route to get here quickly.
Sure enough, about ten minutes later, he saw Xue Rui's figure. Of course, he only looked three or four parts similar to Xue Rui's original appearance, and was about the same as himself.
He leaned against the doorway, looking at Xue Rui. "You're here?"
Xue Rui came over and said, "Okay, let's go inside first."
Lin Leyou let him into the house and then casually closed the door. "Is your mission the same as mine?"
Xue Rui: "It should be the same. The requirement is to kill a player, and the reward is 50,000 points. If you fail, you lose 10,000 points. This point reward is probably for a B-difficulty task. I just don't know what level of difficulty this dungeon is. As NPC tourists, we can't get much information from the system."
Lin Leyou said, "Yes, and... look at this map, there are a total of fifty-five huts on the whole mountain. We have to figure out which ones are real players before we can kill them. What if we kill the wrong one..."
He wondered to himself how many points would be deducted if the system mistakenly killed the wrong target.
"System notification: NPC tourist was mistakenly killed, 50,000 points deducted."
Lin Leyou: "If you accidentally kill an NPC, you will lose 50,000 points."
Xue Rui: "Ten thousand points... how about we just forget about it? Let's just treat this as a vacation."
Lin Leyou sighed and touched Xue Rui's face. Xue Rui still had a little bit of baby fat on his cheeks, so he had to pinch it while he could. After a while, maybe just a few months, this perk would be gone.
"Since that's what you think, then I'll listen to you. By the way... to other people, it seems like we don't know each other. In that case, how about we take it slow later?"
Xue Rui nodded, "Okay, how about I pursue you?"
Lin Leyou pondered for a moment, "Why can't it be me pursuing you?"
Xue Rui, "How about we go both ways?"
Lin Leyou smiled and said, "That's a good idea. Let's do it your way. By the way... it's time for us to have breakfast now. There's a restaurant down the mountain that caters to tourists who are too lazy to cook for themselves. Shall we go down and have breakfast first?"
Xue Rui: "Yes, all fifty cabins are definitely full. I just don't know how many players there are, but that's none of our business."
Lin Leyou quickly tidied up, grabbed her keys and wallet, locked the door, and said, "Let's go."
The temperature in the mountains is lower than at the foot of the mountain, and it's only early morning now, with the sun only half-risen. But it's still quite warm to feel the sunlight on your skin.
Lin Leyou said, "I don't know if the food served downstairs will be good. If it's not good, I won't force myself to eat it."
Xue Rui: "It's okay. If it doesn't taste good, we'll buy the ingredients and cook it ourselves."
Lin Leyou said, "Yeah, we can make it ourselves. Well, even if our cooking skills aren't great, breakfast shouldn't be too hard to swallow."
He looked around and said, "I have to say, it's rare to come to a place like this for tourism, and it has really lifted my spirits. The air here is so fresh. How about I come back again sometime?"
Xue Rui: "Sure, I like it here too."
As they walked forward, they soon saw other people at the fork in the road ahead. There were five people, three women and two men, who seemed to know each other.
After exchanging glances with the five of them, Lin Leyou and Xue Rui remained silent. Xue Rui then pulled Lin Leyou's arm and continued walking forward, passing them and heading down the mountain.
Before leaving, the two exchanged a strange look with the five people, but said nothing and left.
Only after they had walked away did the five of them speak.
“Those two people were probably NPCs,” said a woman dressed provocatively with red lipstick.
How can you be so sure?
"Didn't you see the way they looked at us when they passed by... like they were looking at idiots? Even though we've been standing here doing nothing, don't forget, the four of you besides me were staring at them the whole time. Anyone would have thought something was off about us! Most importantly, we didn't see any props."
Upon hearing this, all four of them felt somewhat embarrassed. "There's nothing we can do about it, isn't there? After all, if they were players, they would likely notice our expressions and recognize us as players, and then they would come over to talk to us."
"This mission... we definitely won't be able to complete it if there aren't enough people."
"Wow... this main quest is just insane!"
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui, who had already walked far away, naturally had no idea what they were talking about, since the two had already given up on the mission and had no intention of using any props to spy on them.
They walked slowly down the mountain without stopping, and by the time they reached the rustic restaurant at the foot of the mountain, the sun had already risen completely.
Upon entering the restaurant, they discovered that it was an order-only restaurant, not a buffet-style place.
Would you two like to have dinner together?
A waiter came over and asked with a smile.
Lin Leyou: "Yes, we can sit... by the window."
Waiter: "Okay, this way please."
After the two randomly chose a seat by the window, the table wasn't right next to the wall; there was more than two people's width between it and the wall, enough for people to pass by.
