Chapter 721 [(*^▽^*)]
Upon hearing this, Lin Leyou and Xue Rui both looked at him, but he ignored their gazes, then laughed a few times and suddenly shouted, "One hundred million points, that's amazing! I'm rich! I'm rich!"
He didn't care whether the people around him were players or not, and blew kisses to them, "Although I don't know what happened, I've finished the game. Goodbye, I hope you guys can finish it soon too, bye!"
And so his figure disappeared into the formation.
The young man turned to Xue Rui and Lin Leyou, "So? Have you made up your minds?"
Lin Leyou blinked. After exchanging a glance with Xue Rui, his first thought was that the reward points for this dungeon were actually 100 million. You should know that in a 3S difficulty dungeon, the reward points for completing the main quest are at least 100 million. If it is this many points, then the difficulty issue can be explained.
Lin Leyou said, "We need to go back and discuss this with the other version of ourselves. If things go quickly, we can come to see you again tomorrow night."
The young man was clearly satisfied with their answer. "Then I'll be waiting for you."
Lin Leyou led Xue Rui away from there, and the young man did not stay down there either, but followed them up. The three of them tacitly did not continue to speak, but left the square and returned to their residence.
Only then did they realize that the NPC was heading towards Villa No. 2, which was right next to the square. They watched him return to the villa.
Xue Rui took his hand and said, "Let's go back first."
Lin Leyou said, "This ghost...this village is really strange."
After returning to the villa, the two had no idea where their human counterparts were. They hadn't seen them all day, and wondered if they were wandering around outside so late at night.
Xue Rui said, "When I came back just now, I took the monitoring and detection equipment out of my backpack and found that it was a blue dot."
Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment. If the monitoring detection instrument showed a bright blue dot, it meant that... there was no monitoring device in the square just now.
That's strange, really strange!
Lin Leyou said, "It must have been the NPC or the snake-man monster who did it. They probably didn't want other players to know, since it's a shortcut!"
Xue Rui: "Do we need to let them discover it themselves? Even if this NPC really wants players to go to the village chief and merge two versions of themselves?"
Lin Leyou said, "Probably, but I think at this point... we still need to figure out why that village chief, the snake-man monster, did this, and what benefit he gets from helping the players like this."
Xue Rui said, "If we don't figure this out, we will indeed have some hesitation."
Lin Leyou said, "Let's wait until they come over, then the four of us can talk it over together."
Xue Rui had no objection, "Okay."
So they went back to their room to rest until dawn, but they didn't see the two people again this morning, and they didn't know where they had gone.
Could it be that what I said before was too harsh, causing them to be afraid to come?
Fortunately, they ran into them near the square when they went out for lunch.
Ghost Lin Leyou: "Let's go eat together."
Of course, there are restaurants in the village. This restaurant is relatively small, but there aren't many people inside. The four of them chose a large table at the very back and ordered a table full of dishes.
The humans, Lin Leyou and Xue Rui, were a little reserved. They hadn't originally planned to meet these two ghosts today, but alas... things didn't go as planned, and they bumped into them in the square.
Ghost Lin Leyou said, "Let's eat first, then go to number sixteen. I have something to tell you."
Are we going to kill them to silence them?
However... neither of them noticed the two ghosts opposite them had any murderous intent. Compared to before they separated, they were much calmer. Could it be that they had come to a realization?
The ghost Lin Leyou and his companions had a great appetite during the meal, but the two humans looked like they were having stomach aches.
They weren't foolish enough to talk here; after finishing their meal, they quickly returned to number sixteen.
The ghost Lin Leyou then explained in detail what he had seen last night, asking, "What do you think?"
Lin Leyou, a human, exchanged a glance with Xue Rui beside him. "We had surveillance cameras set up near the square last night, or rather, there have always been rooms there, but we didn't see you."
Ghost Lin Leyou said, "There's definitely something going on between the snake-man monster and that time-accelerating ghost, but that's not important right now. I'm just asking you whether you're going or not."
Lin Leyou, a human, said, "I don't quite trust the snake-man monster, even though he's the village chief."
Human Xue Rui: "Why is this snake-man monster helping the player?"
Ghost Lin Leyou: "I don't know how to answer, because I haven't asked either. Should I go and ask?"
Lin Leyou, a human, shook his head. "I don't think we'd get any information even if we asked."
Ghost Lin Leyou: "That's right, he'll definitely say that the village chief is doing everything for the villagers, and that one sentence will shut us down. So what do you say?"
Human Lin Leyou and Xue Rui exchanged a glance, and then both nodded immediately, "We agree."
They had been thinking for a long time about how to persuade these two ghosts to merge with them, and now that they had brought it up themselves, they naturally had no objections.
Seeing that Xue Rui's expression was a bit off, Ghost Lin Leyou stood up and said, "Let's wait until tonight. We'll go to the square when it's time."
After saying that, he pulled Xue Rui into the inner room. The two humans looked at each other and hesitated for a long time before deciding to stay there and wait for nightfall.
The two people who entered the inner room fell silent.
Finally, Lin Leyou spoke first, "What? You still feel it's a pity?"
Xue Rui shook his head, "Staying in this instance world is of no use. I've already made up my mind."
Lin Leyou smiled slightly, "Don't you think this is just my guess, and maybe I can stay in the Endless World?"
After thinking for a moment, Xue Rui shook his head. "No, the system won't make me a resident so easily."
Lin Leyou, "You mean, if you could become a resident, you would not hesitate to give up everything you have there? Including your family, wealth, and so on?"
The first person Xue Rui thought of was not anyone else, but his grandfather.
If he dies, then Grandpa... will only be able to let those two pieces of trash, Xue Zhengyang and Xue Qian, go back and take over the Xue family business, which is something he cannot accept.
Or did he kill his father and brother before becoming a resident?
That means Grandpa will be all alone now. The Xue Group is very important to Grandpa, but it's dispensable to him; he doesn't care about it at all.
Although his grandfather might not have loved him, he was definitely good to him; otherwise, he wouldn't have entrusted him with the Xue Group, which he valued most. But...
Lin Leyou hugged him and said, "Don't think about it. You want to become a resident... I think it's impossible for now. After all, neither special keys nor super-star dungeons are things that are still out of the question."
Xue Rui breathed a sigh of relief. "You're right."
Lin Leyou noticed his gaze and felt even more tormented. Hiding one's identity was truly agonizing, but to reveal it... It wasn't that he didn't trust Xue Rui, but sometimes... it wasn't that Xue Rui wouldn't reveal it, and he wouldn't be exposed.
Qian Feng failed his previous mission and has a one-month repayment period. He needs to get others to become players within that month, and he doesn't know how many points he'll get for each successful attempt.
Now that a month has long passed, he is definitely still alive. So... when he paid off all his points, how many officials did he bring into the Endless World?
These people have an extremely high survival rate, and each of them is a super expert. Their probability of becoming top players is also absolute. With so many top players gathered together, the official strength is definitely far beyond what they imagined.
Although they still need some time to grow, it's only a matter of time.
Lin Leyou sighed, "Don't worry, we can succeed now."
Xue Rui: "I know, it's absolutely possible, failure is not an option."
They waited until evening, then brought the two humans to the square. The young man was still near the fountain, as if he had been waiting for them.
"I knew you would come. Don't worry, the village chief loves his villagers the most. He hopes that all his villagers can have a good life. Make a wish."
He pulled two coins from his pocket, the same ones he'd used the night before. "Let's begin."
Both coins were held by the ghosts. Although the humans Lin Leyou and Xue Rui also wanted them, they knew they couldn't get them.
It's okay, they'll merge soon anyway, since they're the same person.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui simultaneously threw the coins in their hands into the fountain in front of them.
Just like last night, the floor tiles behind him suddenly sank down, revealing steps. At this moment, Lin Leyou, the human, took out the monitoring prop detector and found that it was indeed lit up with a blue light.
The four followed the young man, who had already taken on a ghostly appearance, into the underground. At this moment, the snake-man monster of normal size stood at the very front of the formation.
The ghost Lin Leyou glanced at the human Lin Leyou beside him, "Let's go first."
Both Xue Ruis instinctively grabbed the Lin Leyou beside them, but were quickly calmed down. The human Lin Leyou felt somewhat confused, yet also happy, with a very conflicted expression.
But the ghost Lin Leyou simply leaned over and kissed him, saying, "It's nothing."
Both Xue Rui released their grip, and Lin Leyou walked into the formation, occupying both sides. The snake-man monster took a scale from the edge of its head near its neck and threw it into the center of the formation.
The same procedure as yesterday.
They watched as countless silver threads enveloped them, and then both of them lost consciousness for a moment. When they regained consciousness, Lin Leyou was the only one left in the formation.
Only now did he realize that what he had lost had been made up for. He didn't feel anything special when he lost it, but now he felt that he was truly himself.
