Chapter 731 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui sighed, "Besides that, he has an item that can pinpoint the location of his closest blood relative. It's a one-time consumable item, and he chose Liu Jiao."
Lin Leyou sneered, "As expected, even at this point, he still chooses to be weak and easy to bully."
Even after becoming a skilled player, Zhou Feng was still someone he didn't want to mess with, while Liu Jiao was someone who was hardworking, patient, and devoted to him. She would even be willing to die for him.
Xue Rui said, "Don't be angry."
Lin Leyou said, "I felt sorry for her at first, so I introduced her to a job in that factory. Now she has returned to a normal life."
"Of course, she herself was also largely responsible for the tragic situation she suffered before."
Xue Rui said, "Alright, that's all in the past. Let's stop thinking about it and continue watching the Spring Festival Gala."
Lin Leyou thought for a moment, then casually took out a mechanical spider. The spider went out in front of them, and Xue Rui looked at him.
"It's nothing. The people back in my hometown are definitely not going to stay out of line either. It's better to keep an eye on them."
Xue Rui was taken aback. "You weren't keeping an eye on them before?"
Lin Leyou suddenly felt a little guilty for some reason. "Well, because I hadn't thought about it before. I was only thinking about cutting ties with them, but now that I think about it, it's not a simple matter."
"In case they stab me in the back, I've decided to keep an eye on them."
The mechanical spider went out and found a ride to the train station. It found a train bound for its hometown and settled down in a corner.
Since Xue Rui had to return to the old house early the next morning, he didn't pester Lin Leyou. After watching the Spring Festival Gala, the two spent some more time together before parting ways.
Xue Rui quietly returned to the old house and waited for the next day. For the next few days, Xue Rui stayed at the old house and of course, he would come to see Lin Leyou every night.
However, such leisurely days didn't last long, and he soon returned to work. But after starting work, he could go back to Lin Leyou's place to stay at night, which was to his liking.
When I came back today, I ran into Xue Zhengyang's car at the gate... The person inside the car was not Xue Zhengyang, but Du Anxian. As for Xue Qian...
During this period, he seemed to have turned into a well-behaved child who didn't like to go out. He stayed at home every day and didn't go out. He spent all his time playing on his phone, computer, or watching TV, and he would never step out of the house.
Meanwhile, the mechanical spiders that Lin Leyou had released had arrived at that familiar yet unfamiliar old home.
Lin Leyou was still on winter break, but he still had to go to Qin Xingyu's place for classes during the day and undergo hellish special training. Even after so long, he still couldn't last ten minutes against Qin Xingyu.
But there has indeed been progress. At least in Qin Xingyu's opinion, in terms of close combat, he is probably ranked in the upper-middle tier in the entire Endless World.
He was lying on the ground, panting heavily, when Qin Xingyu said with a grin, "You, you think being in the upper-middle tier is good enough? You definitely can't compare to the top tier."
After catching her breath, Lin Leyou asked, "Then what kind can be considered top-notch? Someone like you?"
Qin Xingyu: "As long as you meet the enforcement team's requirements, you'll be considered top-tier. Do you think you can do it now? Do you meet that standard?"
Lin Leyou, "What constitutes meeting the standard?"
Qin Xingyu: "Defeating the weakest member of the enforcement team is enough to meet this standard."
Lin Leyou blinked and sat up. "Then I still have a long way to go."
Qin Xingyu: "Isn't that right? When you can play against me for twenty minutes, you'll be pretty much at that level. I hope you'll keep up the good work."
Lin Leyou said, "There are so many amazing people emerging all the time. It's terrifying to see."
Qin Xingyu: "You've made rapid progress."
Lin Leyou rolled her eyes. "Are you trying to say I can take a beating?"
Qin Xingyu: "If you want to get stronger, doesn't it all start with getting beaten up?"
Lin Leyou stared at him, "So, Teacher Qin, did you also start out getting beaten up?"
Qin Xingyu didn't feel ashamed at all. "Is there a problem?"
Lin Leyou shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just that I feel that Teacher Qin's great and glorious image in my heart has changed a bit."
Qin Xingyu laughed and reached out to give his head a good rub. "You're all sweaty!"
Lin Leyou said, "I was tired just now, of course I was sweating. I'm going to take a shower."
Qin Xingyu said, "Go on, and hurry home later. Your wife is waiting for you at home."
Lin Leyou paused slightly and muttered, "I know, I know."
Qin Xingyu watched his retreating figure, smiled and shook his head, said nothing, and turned to walk towards the living room. It has to be said that after taking Lin Leyou as his student, his life has become more and more lively.
Lin Leyou took a shower and returned to her home in the Happiness Community. Here, there was absolutely no need to worry about anyone barging in without her permission.
He looked at the photos hanging on the wall, the photos on the table and cabinets, and the traces of Xue Rui that could be seen everywhere in the house, and he smiled slightly.
"What a pity..."
You can't find Xue Rui here unless it's during dungeon runs.
He returned to his bedroom, lay on his bed, and returned to the real world.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Xue Rui lying next to me. "Huh? You're back so early?"
Xue Rui: "Well, there's not much to do today."
Lin Leyou: "Has the kitchen started cooking?"
Xue Rui: "I've been back for half an hour, and it's still not done."
Lin Leyou said, "Then let's wait a little longer."
He turned to the side, snuggling into Xue Rui's arms, then took out his phone to check the news. "I've noticed the news lately seems a bit..."
Xue Rui: "It was Qian Feng who made the difference."
Lin Leyou blinked. There are many new types of home appliances and mobile phones on the news now, which he doesn't remember in his previous life.
Xue Rui mentioned Qian Feng, and Lin Leyou realized that Qian Feng's survival this time was probably due to him reporting Qian Feng's existence to the authorities.
That's why he was arrested by the authorities, and in the end, he helped them successfully turn thousands of people into players. These thousands of battle-hardened players, any one of them, could bring back some strange and unusual things that could make a big difference in some aspect of the real world.
Lin Leyou thought, "It seems that living a life like that of the Endless World is just around the corner."
Xue Rui: "Okay."
He gently embraced Lin Leyou, looking at the chat interface on his phone.
Lin Leyou, on the other hand, devoted some of his attention to the situation back home. The mechanical spiders had already traveled a long way and had even explored the area.
The room that was originally hers has now become her younger brother's room, just like it was in her previous life. However, her younger brother, Lin Letian, is still very young and is only placed in the nursery during his afternoon nap. He sleeps in their master bedroom at other times.
What do babies know? They only know to sleep and eat, cry when they're hungry, cry when they're tired, cry when they're uncomfortable, and cry in all sorts of ways. They can wake up and fall asleep more than ten times a night.
Seeing Lin Jiashu go from being patient at first to smashing things in a fit of rage, Lin Leyou was terrified when she saw him become neurasthenic and his eyes turn bloodshot. In the end, she had no choice but to take the child to the children's room to sleep.
This made Lin Jiashu feel a little better. After getting enough sleep, his attitude towards the child gradually improved, and he also discovered something.
The couple didn't visit any relatives during the Chinese New Year. They didn't know if they were too late, but anyway, it's only been a few days since the New Year. This shows that their relationship with their relatives is not good.
Having worked away from home for so many years, I rarely come back. Now that I'm back, all the relatives I should have are gone. Especially since they've been away for so long, they look down on the country folk, even though they themselves are like that.
Zhou Meijuan smiled and placed the meat and vegetables in her hand on the table, saying, "It's the New Year, so we have to eat something good."
Lin Jiashu said, "We really need to eat something good. Beef, chicken, duck, and fish are all delicious. We should eat more."
Zhou Meijuan glanced at her son, who was sleeping beside her, and only after confirming that he was still asleep did she pick up her bowl and chopsticks and sit down to eat.
Lin Jiashu suddenly said, "That brat is all alone out there, he definitely can't afford to eat these good dishes. What kind of good job can a kid like him who only graduated from high school find?"
"In the end, he still has to go to construction sites to do manual labor. I found him a construction site through connections, and the salary is higher than other places. He really doesn't know what's good for him."
Zhou Meijuan said, "Who can argue with that? She's willing to earn more money. I think she's unwilling to earn money for us... for this family. Knowing that I was pregnant with my younger brother, she still ran away. It's true that if you're not raised by your side from a young age, you're not close to us. Xiao Bao is different. Xiao Bao is our precious baby. When he grows up, he will definitely be filial to us."
Lin Jiashu was enjoying the delicious food and wine and was in a good mood. He even found his youngest son, who had been crying and making a fuss all night and had driven him to the brink of nervous exhaustion, to be unusually pleasing to the eye and cute.
Seeing this, Lin Leyou felt a pang of irony. Things were good now, but in a few years they would realize how much it would cost to raise a child well.
Unless the couple doesn't plan to raise their child as meticulously as they did in their previous life, the little money they have won't be enough for them.
Just as Xue Rui was calling Lin Leyou to go downstairs for dinner, Zhou Meijuan suddenly said, "Hey, what do you think about us buying a house in town now? After all, we can't always live in the countryside."
Lin Jiashu hesitated for a moment, "Should we go buy it now?"
Zhou Meijuan: "Yes, aren't house prices going up all the time? The house prices in our town haven't gone up too much, but they've still gone up. They'll definitely be more expensive in a few years, so it's a good deal to buy now."
"After working away from home for so many years, haven't you seen how housing prices in the city have risen?"
Lin Jiashu: "You said it yourself, that's in the city, how can it be the same as our town?"
