Chapter 693 [(*^▽^*)]
It's dangerous. He needs to think of a solution quickly. However, he doesn't yet understand why this person is targeting him. If he doesn't figure out the reason, other ghosts will still target him after he kills this one.
Lin Leyou looked troubled. "Why would you fall for me?"
The other person smiled and said, "Oh, this? It's nothing, I just think you smell really good. The aroma is so tempting. I was the first to discover you, so you'll just have to become my food!"
Lin Leyou suddenly had an idea. "How about I go walk around the fountain a few more times now?"
The other person froze for a moment. What was over there by the fountain? Besides him, there were other ghosts of similar strength. If the scent could attract him, it could definitely attract others...
Although they had a verbal agreement that whoever saw it first would own it, it was just a verbal agreement. He couldn't be sure if others would actually give it up after seeing it.
"Are you really going to do this? Isn't it better to follow me? Once your body belongs to me, I will give you some good things. You will become my most capable confidant, and I will bestow upon you great strength."
Lin Leyou blinked, then suddenly chuckled, "Really?"
"If you knew my apartment number, you wouldn't hesitate so much. Want to know? Just ask me, and I'll tell you. You know, no one else has this privilege."
Lin Leyou: "Then tell me."
Even among these strongest monsters, there are definitely differences in strength, which means they are ranked. Just like all houses have house numbers, their strength should also be calculated according to their house numbers.
"I live at number sixteen, how about it? Do you like it?"
Lin Leyou's lips curled up, and then he suddenly thought of something, "Why is there only number sixteen? I would have agreed if you stayed in number one."
His face contorted for a moment, his handsome features turning into the face of a demon, but he quickly regained his smile. "Little guy, don't joke around. There's no number one in this village."
Lin Leyou blinked. "How could there be no number one?"
"Besides, so what if you don't? You're so capable, can't you become number one?"
He really didn't expect Lin Leyou to say that. "It's a pity. The houses in this village, starting from number two, didn't have anything to begin with, and they won't have anything to begin with now, and they certainly won't have anything to begin with in the future. So you... you'd better stop daydreaming."
Hearing him say this, Lin Leyou was probably certain of his guess: Number One definitely existed, they just didn't know it.
The closer to the center of the village, the stronger it is, and the smaller the house number. So, isn't the strongest number one in the very center of the village?
And what's at the very center of the village? It's that fountain. If you consider that fountain as a house, then the statue inside is the most powerful figure in the village…
Is this statue really a statue? And what's with the ring on its finger?
etc!
Lin Leyou suddenly realized what this person had just said, that he smelled delicious, and that he had been given something to eat. It turned out that the person had been using both threats and inducements.
Could these all be smokescreens?
The man's real goal was the ring on his finger, which was exactly the same as the ring on the statue's finger, and that's why he wanted to get his hands on it.
Lin Leyou suddenly laughed, "You really want to eat my mom that badly?"
He smiled and nodded, "Yes, the moment I saw you, I was deeply attracted to you. This attraction has nothing to do with your appearance. I just love the aura around you, the scent you give off, and the feeling of being near you, so..."
He closed his eyes contentedly, "So, I just want you to be with me forever."
At this point, he opened his eyes and looked at Lin Leyou again, "But... whether the two of us can be together forever is uncertain. Many unexpected things can happen. To eliminate any future troubles, you and I should become one. That's the safest option. What do you say, baby?"
Lin Leyou remained expressionless, as if he hadn't heard what he said at all. "I think this is kind of interesting, but I can't accept it. What should I do?"
The other party found it strange, "Why are you willing yet unable to accept it?"
For some reason, Lin Leyou felt that if it were any other time, whether it was a player, a resident, or an NPC, if they said these things to him, he would feel some killing intent or dissatisfaction.
But when he was talking to this person, his intuition... instead of feeling the need to kill him as soon as possible, he actually felt that this person... was kind of interesting.
He had this subconscious feeling, and he was absolutely certain that the person in front of him was related to Xue Rui, because he only felt this way about Xue Rui.
When Xue Rui used the ring to be affectionate with him, that's how he felt. He was used to it, and he would readily accept whatever Xue Rui said, finding it amusing.
Could this person be Xue Rui?
Even as he thought this, his body's instinctive reaction was to reject it.
Very well, this person in front of me is not Xue Rui, so what's with that subtle reaction?
Lin Leyou raised her left hand. "Look, do you like this?"
He paused for a moment, then his gaze shifted from the ring on his finger. "I like it, but this ring wasn't given to you by me. Can you take it off and throw it away? I have a better one here."
He then pulled a ring box from his pocket, opened it in front of Lin Leyou, and inside were two rings set with tiny colored diamonds. "How about this one?"
Lin Leyou looked closely and realized that what was set on the ring were not tiny colored diamonds at all, but rather fragments of souls of various colors, which this person had shaped into tiny pieces and set on the ring.
A moment later, he seemed to hear some faint screams and wails coming from the rings, but the other party seemed completely unconcerned, as if it were a very ordinary thing.
Lin Leyou: "Throw it away? Throw my ring away? Where should I throw it?"
He smiled and said, "Leave it to me, I'll throw it away. I guarantee it'll never show up in front of you again, how about it?"
Lin Leyou hesitated for a moment, touching her ring. "This... how can this be? This is a ring given to me by the person I love most. I will never forget him in this lifetime."
When he said this, the person opposite him looked very uncomfortable, his face was distorted. Then he slowly put the ring away and said calmly, "It's nothing."
"I've tried everything to reason with you, but you still won't agree. Since that's the case, and gentle methods aren't working, I won't waste any more time. Anyway... I just need to wait until tonight."
He pointed to his lips with his finger. "Excuse me... are you going home tonight?"
Lin Leyou shook his head with a smile, "Of course I'm not going home."
He glanced at the sky; the sun was directly overhead, it was noon. He casually chose a spot to sit down, opened the cake he had just bought, and found a cup of milk tea inside. The cake shop also sold milk tea, so he bought one on a whim. Now he could eat the cake and drink the milk tea at the same time, and the milk tea was still hot.
He watched Lin Leyou happily eating and drinking, while he could only stand aside and watch. Although it was a little awkward, his current priority was to make sure that Lin Leyou never left his sight.
Lin Leyou didn't care about his thoughts. He was already planning how to deal with the ghost later. He was looking through all his props.
He suddenly noticed that the Golden Sun item he was wearing on his ear had already met the requirements for completing two S-rank or higher difficulty dungeons. Now he only needed to consume ten Golden Items to truly upgrade to a Golden Item!
Lin Leyou certainly wouldn't use the gold-tier items he already had in his backpack to feed Jin Yang, so he casually bought ten random gold-tier item cards at the lowest price from the system shop.
These item cards are the cheapest ones, each costing only ten million points, and ten cards would cost one hundred million points. Before, that would have been too much for him, but now he wouldn't feel bad about it!
After opening all ten random gold-tier item cards, he found that they were all useless items, with no weapons or other junk at all.
Among them is a gold-plated item called a windbreaker, which provides a certain amount of defense. This defense seems pretty good, but it will still break when attacked, and repairing it requires a lot of points. It is not as good as the gold-plated protective shield in his hand.
He silently fed all ten pieces of junk to his Jin Yang, and soon the feeding progress reached one hundred percent.
"System notification: The purple-grade item Jin Yang has met the upgrade requirements. Do you wish to upgrade it to a gold-grade item?"
Lin Leyou silently answered, "Yes."
"System notification: The item Golden Sun has been successfully upgraded to a Gold-grade item."
Lin Leyou began to examine his prop, Jin Yang.
"Jin Yang: Gold-grade item. When carried, it increases mental recovery speed by 50%! It grants complete immunity to mental damage for ten minutes. Cooldown time: 24 hours."
Originally, when equipped with purple gear, the mental recovery speed increased by 30%, but now it has increased to 50%, and the complete immunity to one instance of mental damage has been changed to immunity for ten minutes.
This is equivalent to giving his spirit... that is, his soul, an additional ten minutes of invincibility. His body is protected by a golden defensive energy shield, and his soul is protected by the Golden Sun. With the spirit's recovery speed increased by 50%, combined with other items in his backpack...
With his current abilities as a ghost at night and his own talents, he refused to believe he couldn't defeat this sixteenth-ranked ghost.
"Is it tasty?"
While Lin Leyou was fiddling with the golden sun, this person slowly approached. Lin Leyou ignored him, but kept glancing at him out of the corner of her eye.
