Chapter 752 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou sighed, "I really am hated. It's been several years, and Jiang Changdong is still so vengeful. It seems that if I don't deal with these troubles, there will definitely be more unexpected events later."
Xue Rui, "Am I... not..."
Lin Leyou waved his hand, "It's nothing... wait! By the way, take out the ** and try locating Jiang Changdong and the other people in Jiang Changdong's family."
Xue Rui: "Okay."
Why didn't I think of that before? Yeah, I didn't think of that before.
Xue Rui took out the ** to locate Jiang Changdong's family of four one by one, but he was unable to locate any of them.
Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment, "Did I make a mistake?"
Xue Rui: "Could it be because they are ghosts or monsters right now, and their original appearance and names can't be used to locate them?"
Lin Leyou: "It's possible... but it's okay. Just to be safe, let's stay home and not go out."
Xue Rui said, "I'm afraid they'll keep coming to harass us."
Lin Leyou said, "It's okay, since we can't get in anyway, it's all in vain. It's just that... the players who entered this instance this time were really screwed over. This instance difficulty was temporarily increased, and most of these players are newbies."
Xue Rui: "The system should be balanced."
Lin Leyou blinked. "That's right. They're all new players. At most, there are two players who have participated in the dungeon twice and aren't that new. The completion quest might be changed to survive for seven days."
Xue Rui said, "Even if they all die, it has nothing to do with us."
These words sounded somewhat cold, but Lin Leyou had to admit that he was right: "These monster bosses are probably all focused on us, they won't be paying attention to the players."
Xue Rui, "If it really is Jiang Changdong."
Lin Leyou stroked his chin. "Don't go out casually from now on."
Xue Rui, "That one..."
Lin Leyou: "It can indeed be used. Regardless of the NPCs, all the ghosts are destined to be burned to ashes anyway, but we also need to know whether the other party is within the attack range."
Xue Rui thought for a moment, then said, "Let's keep waiting."
Lin Leyou still had some questions, "Actually, the most important thing is..."
“I know,” Xue Rui added. “Why would they want to kill us? After all, we’re inside a dungeon now. Even if we die, we’ll only die inside the dungeon.”
Lin Leyou sighed, "So... I think that after Jiang Changdong became a ghost, or even a BOSS, he found a loophole in the dungeon that allows him to continuously deplete our points, just like when we dealt with Xue Qian in Xiushan Village. He found the special feature of the dungeon and consumed a lot of his points."
"And the Kingdom of Rules, although I don't know how many points Jiang Changdong and his group were cheated out of in that instance, it certainly wasn't a small amount, to the point that..."
Xue Rui: "That's not right either!"
Lin Leyou, "Hmm?"
How did they know we were inside the instance?
Lin Leyou fell silent; he didn't know how to answer the question.
Xue Rui continued, "This trip to Xingfu Community was purely on a whim."
"So...why did he prepare in advance and come to this instance to deal with us..."
"Unless he received advance notice, how could he possibly know about my impulsive decision beforehand? Leyou, what do you think..."
Lin Leyou had a thought he was hesitant to voice: "Could it be precognition?"
Both of them looked rather grim. The enmity between Jiang Changdong's family and them, especially Lin Leyou, ran quite deep. If the other side really got their hands on such a powerful item, wouldn't that be...?
Of course I'm not afraid of them, but there will definitely be a lot of trouble.
Lin Leyou: "Should we go out and look for them tonight?"
Xue Rui: "Okay, I'll go with you."
Lin Leyou: "There will be security guards patrolling at night. Your identity is awkward, so be careful to stay hidden."
“No problem.” Xue Rui was already prepared. “I’ll be ready.”
Lin Leyou frowned and looked out the window. It was still morning. He had planned to go to the training room after returning from the supermarket, but he didn't expect something like this to happen.
Xue Rui walked over to him, took his hand, and led him back to sit down in the living room. "Stop thinking about it. It's no use. Let's just wait for them to make their move."
Lin Leyou: "Wait for him to make his move... no problem."
The two sat on the sofa, and Lin Leyou took out his phone to browse the news. There were many news articles about the Endless World, all of which were about the start of the Happy Community instance.
Xue Rui happened to see the news about the medical university Lin Leyou was attending, and said, "Take a look at this."
Lin Leyou handed him the phone. "Look, the photos at school were taken randomly. You might even find someone you recognize in them, maybe even me."
Xue Rui picked up his phone to check the news article. It was a simple news report promoting the school, and there were indeed a few photos in it. But as he looked closer…
Lin Leyou didn't notice, but he did see Qin Xingyu. Xue Rui didn't know what Qin Xingyu really looked like, since the Qin Xingyu he saw in the Haitang Village instance was playing the role of one of the villager NPCs, not his own appearance.
It was only later, when they were in the Happiness Community, that Lin Leyou showed him the photos he had taken on his phone, and that's when he learned what Qin Xingyu looked like.
If it weren't for the fact that Lin Leyou genuinely liked him, he would have thought that Qin Xingyu had fallen for his lover. After all, if someone like Qin Xingyu, who was top-notch in terms of looks, personality, and strength, started pursuing someone, the success rate would definitely be quite high.
He also remembered the embarrassing incident he had caused out of jealousy when he first learned what Qin Xingyu looked like, but fortunately, Lin Leyou had almost forgotten about it now.
He looked up at Lin Leyou, who was looking at the photo album he had taken out earlier, which contained their memories.
They even have photos they took inside dungeons where they failed to clear the game, and they take them out every time to recall them, learn from their mistakes, and never repeat the same errors.
Lin Leyou was engrossed in looking through the photo album, while Xue Rui continued browsing the news on his phone. The two seemed completely unconcerned about the crisis that had arisen in the Happy Community instance.
I was just worried.
After reading the news article, Xue Rui did not put down his phone but continued to check other news articles. This was so that he could integrate into the world more quickly and smoothly after becoming a resident.
He already knew very well that this endless world was indeed a world without boundaries. Endless City was the largest city here. There were many towns and villages in other places, but none could compare to Endless City.
Normally, daily life in this world is quite similar to that in the real world, except that it possesses a technological level that is several decades ahead of the real world.
Many places will be temporarily turned into dungeons, and each ordinary citizen who becomes an NPC will receive some points as a reward after the dungeon ends.
Regardless of whether you die in the dungeon or not, you will be restored to your original state after the dungeon ends. Those with particularly tragic endings will even receive a special reward from the system, which is some points.
He saw many people complaining online that their neighborhood had become a dungeon, and as a result, he, an ordinary NPC, died terribly. In the end, he got more points than others, so he was still satisfied with the result.
Xue Rui patiently scrolled through all the news and messages he could find, as well as various replies on online platforms.
He would even search for many universities online so that when he went to university again, he wouldn't have to run back and forth between the company and the school anymore.
As for the company... he is currently working hard to cultivate a group of capable subordinates. In a few years, he should not need to be stationed at the company all the time; visiting every few days should be enough.
Moreover... he even found some advertisements for special robots on it, one of which was for assisting with office work. Could he get such a robot and put it in the company?
Forget it, it would be better to modify that combat puppet to look like myself and have him go to the company in my place, so I can work remotely. The only problem is that he would have to stay in the real world and not in the Endless World.
After all, combat puppets can only be successfully controlled in one place. If they are out of control, combat puppets can move freely, but only in a few simple actions.
As they watched, noon arrived quickly. The two went into the kitchen together and began preparing lunch in perfect harmony. They put away the ingredients that could be stored in the refrigerator for a long time, and took out the less durable ones to eat first.
Because they were too lazy to move, they simply cooked rice and made two dishes. Lin Leyou took out two plates of good food from his backpack and put them on the table. The two of them ate a simple meal like that.
Just as Xue Rui was about to tidy up, Lin Leyou pulled him into the room. "What are you tidying up for? I can let it go about what happened in the early hours of the morning, but have you forgotten that there's a housekeeping robot here?"
After he finished speaking, the housekeeping robot that had been sitting in the corner got up and went to the kitchen.
Xue Rui: "I really forgot."
Lin Leyou said, "It's okay, it's alright now. Let him take over the cooking from now on."
He was holding a photo album, while Xue Rui was holding Lin Leyou's phone. They went back to their room to continue looking at the photos, and Lin Leyou would occasionally come over to check the news.
I just happened to see a rumor.
"Jiang Xiayue has reappeared after several years."
The two of them fell silent after looking at the headline of this rumor.
Lin Leyou said in surprise, "That's unbelievable. I didn't expect that there would be anyone willing to report on Jiang Xiaoyue. Does she have her own built-in audience?"
Xue Rui stared at the name Jiang Xiaoyue for a long time, then said, "Perhaps... there is some truth to it."
Below are some replies. Some people are asking whose this is, and then some people are explaining it in the comments. In the end, some things about Lin Leyou came up.
After all, Jiang Xiaoyue's matter did involve him, but fortunately his name wasn't mentioned. However, those who needed to know still knew, since the matter of that gold-plated defensive item had indeed caused quite a stir.
Lin Leyou read some of the replies and then looked away. "It only said that Jiang Xiaoyue appeared in Endless Square, and there was no other information. It's probably just a rumor."
