Chapter 638 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui looked at the neighborhood, which was now covered in snow. "Let's go, let's keep walking around the neighborhood. It would be good if we could run into the man in red or the people who attacked us."
"If we can't find them, then we'll look for NPCs that we can target to increase our battle record."
Lin Leyou agreed with this, saying, "Let's do it this way."
The two then sprang into action, braving the wind and snow to conduct a thorough search of the neighborhood. In the end, they actually found some targets, all of which were monitored by surveillance spheres or mechanical spiders.
Their actions are tantamount to completely ignoring the snowstorm, as if the snowstorm had no impact at all. But is it really that unaffected?
From the moment they woke up and left the house until now, neither of them had ever considered leaving the neighborhood. Instead, they naturally found a bunch of reasons to stay in the neighborhood.
After finding their target, they began to devise a plan on how to legitimately kill these NPCs to increase their points, since they couldn't leave the neighborhood right now.
Lin Leyou sat on the sofa, leaning against Xue Rui. "Don't you think this NPC is easy to deal with? He actually talked about his death rules so casually at home several times, like 'You absolutely can't do this,' or 'If you do this, you'll die,' and so on."
Xue Rui said, "It's a bit strange. Logically speaking, the NPCs living in this instance are usually very secretive about the rules. Even if they are at home and feel safe, they will only mention them occasionally or unintentionally. But he mentioned them many times in a short period of time."
Lin Leyou, "You mean he did it on purpose?"
Xue Rui said, "Today is the fourth day. I guess it's intentional, just to test whether anyone will use the death rules he mentioned to deal with him."
Lin Leyou casually took out his mechanical spider. "What do you think? Should we use the mechanical spider to put some powdered food into his food? I've used this method before, and it worked quite well."
This way, there's no need to waste time investigating the individual death rules of these NPCs; all you need to do is have the mechanical spiders keep using this method, and they...
Xue Rui said, "They have to start eating first."
Lin Leyou checked all the mechanical spiders he had released and found that among the people being monitored in the community, only one had a glass of water next to him. The others were sleeping, resting, playing on their phones, playing games on their computers, and some were even live streaming.
"Speaking of which, it seems like they just had breakfast, so they're not hungry yet. They probably won't eat anything until noon, and... they'll mostly be eating packaged food, so there's nothing we can do about it."
These people's homes are full of snacks in many packages, but they don't have much of an appetite for them. After all, they neither like to eat them, nor do they want to get in the way of their activities.
Xue Rui: "Let nature take its course."
Lin Leyou: "Huh? Someone ordered takeout. Can we order takeout too?"
Xue Rui: "Of course, but if someone tampers with it, it'll be a complete waste."
Lin Leyou thought about all the food he had in his backpack, which he hadn't eaten yet. It would probably take him several months to finish it all, so he decided to forget about ordering takeout.
After making a selection, Lin Leyou said, "Let's start with this one."
They stayed in the neighborhood all day without going out, but each of them still managed to get two kills.
Lin Leyou: "My points have surpassed 800 million, not bad, not bad, how about yours?"
Xue Rui looked at his points. "I'm almost at 600 million. If I can successfully clear the level, I'll get 200 million points, which will bring me to about 800 million. That will put me one step closer to the next level."
Lin Leyou said, "10 billion points... I wonder when our total assets will reach 10 billion. Then we can unlock the luck attribute."
Xue Rui said, "A hundred billion points... is still a bit difficult. If you can only get two or three hundred million points just by clearing a 3S-level dungeon, then you'd have to do it more than thirty times?"
Lin Leyou: "Thirty times isn't a lot."
Xue Rui looked at him, "Hmm?"
Lin Leyou said, "Indeed, there aren't many. After all, as long as you survive, there's no limit to the number of times you can enter these dungeons, until you die."
Xue Rui said, "That's true. Becoming a player with 10 billion points might take several years, but that's understandable. However..."
Lin Leyou looked at Xue Rui, and Xue Rui also looked at Lin Leyou at that moment.
Xue Rui's lips curled up. "But in this instance world, killing an NPC by exploiting the rules can earn you ten million points. This is clearly for participants to accumulate points. There are more than ten million people in the entire city, so it's impossible to kill them all. Moreover, the instance won't allow us to kill them all, and it won't even allow us to kill too many."
Lin Leyou: "I don't know about that, we'll see when the time comes. By the way, what do you think of this..."
Xue Rui leaned closer to his phone screen and looked at it carefully for a while, then nodded, "Okay, let's use this one. This matter needs to be planned carefully, and there can't be any mistakes."
The two huddled together to devise a plan, unaware that several dark figures were huddled in a secluded and gloomy corner on the main road outside the residential area.
"It's dark now, and they've all gone back to their lodgings. They have no intention of going out again."
"It's really strange. If I encountered something like this, I would definitely try to leave the neighborhood immediately. After all, it's snowing inside the neighborhood, and only they can see and feel it, while everything outside the neighborhood is perfectly normal..."
"That's true, if it were me, I would definitely leave the community immediately, but they just won't come out. What should I do? Keep waiting?"
"What are we waiting for? Let's just charge in and kill him!"
"If you want to rush in and kill them, then go ahead, I won't stop you."
Those who were just talking about rushing in to fight Lin Leyou and his companion immediately shut up. How could they possibly go in and kill someone now?
They can only activate the killing mode and violently kill these dungeon participants in the last hour of the last day; before that, they can only kill them by using the rules.
Otherwise, when they become special NPCs within a dungeon, the dungeon wouldn't give them such a useful ability to see through one of the individual death rules of anyone in the dungeon.
This is to make things convenient for them.
Therefore, their top priority now is to use the rules to kill as many participants as possible before the final killing mode begins, otherwise...
If they fail the mission, the number of points they will lose is no joke. If they can successfully complete the mission, they will get 500 million points. That means if they fail, the points deducted will be five times that, which is 2.5 billion points!
Good heavens, who can handle this!
"This is terrible! I only chose an S-rank dungeon, but I never expected it to upgrade directly to 3S-rank. I thought it would most likely remain at the S-rank, or at most become 2S-rank!"
"Alright, what's the point of talking about this now? Since we can't deal with these two for the time being, let's find other participants. Kill the ones who are easy to kill first, and leave this neighborhood for now."
"Wait a minute! What do you mean by leaving it here? Are you just going to leave this prop here and not take it back?"
"Let's just leave it there. The area covered by this prop will always be covered by wind and snow, and the temperature will keep dropping, making them feel cold. Apart from the people who are targeted, no one else will feel anything."
"Ha!" The person who asked the question earlier sneered, "So this item isn't yours, and the points being used here aren't yours, so it's easy for you to talk like that!"
"Although my prop can silently cover the area with snow and cool it down, freezing people to death, do you know how many points it will consume per minute to cover such a large neighborhood this time?"
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for them to reply and continued, "Seriously, since we're just leaving these two here, it's not wrong for me to take back this prop, is it?"
"Hey, wait a minute, we'll just pay you points, okay?"
"Is it alright if everyone splits it equally?"
The other party shook their head and refused, "No, I don't want to use up my points now. Do you really think these two will freeze to death with this prop? Wouldn't it be fine if they just found a way to leave this neighborhood before they freeze to death? If you ask me, asking me to use this prop is just redundant!"
As he spoke, his eyes glanced almost imperceptibly at someone standing between them. He appeared indifferent, as if he had no comment on the matter and was unrelated to it.
But everyone knows that he was the one who suggested covering the community with this prop, but he hasn't said a word, which makes everyone feel a little uncomfortable.
In the end, the person took back his props, muttering with dissatisfaction as he put them into his backpack, "It costs 10,000 points per minute. In just over ten hours this day, I've lost five or six million points without any gain. What a waste."
The others didn't say anything either. After all, it was indeed a waste of millions of points, and not even their own. Although they didn't really care about those millions of points, they would still feel unhappy if they were in their shoes to waste them.
Lin Leyou suddenly looked out the window. Just moments ago, it was snowing heavily, but in the blink of an eye, it had all disappeared. He walked to the window and looked outside. "It's back to normal now."
Xue Rui said, "It must be those special NPCs targeting us, but I don't know why they gave up halfway through."
Lin Leyou: "What else could it be? Hey, wait a minute!"
Xue Rui was also stunned for a moment. Even without Lin Leyou's reminder, he realized that something was wrong. "The mechanical spiders we sent out to keep an eye on those two NPCs have lost their targets."
