Chapter 765 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou's words do make some sense.
Xue Rui: "Possibly... but when it comes to fulfilling wishes..."
Lin Leyou smiled and said, "Teacher Qin said that the system can indeed grant one wish to those who have completed the game, but the meaning is also very clear: the system can only grant wishes that it is capable of fulfilling."
Xue Rui: "There are things we can't do."
Lin Leyou: "Of course not. For example, bizarre wishes like world peace are definitely not possible."
Xue Rui, "It can't be that bad..."
Players or residents who can enter and clear super-star dungeons in the endless world wouldn't make such a ridiculous wish.
Lin Leyou said, "In short, what I want to say is that as long as we clear the game, we can have one wish granted. In other words, as long as one of us can clear the game, that's enough."
Xue Rui was taken aback for a moment, then looked at him, "What do you mean?"
Lin Leyou kissed him. "Don't be so serious. What I mean is... in a desperate situation, remember to protect yourself. After all, you have far fewer points than me. If it really comes to that, I'll have enough points for the system to deduct."
Xue Rui took a deep breath, "Leyou..."
Lin Leyou said, "It's settled then! Losing points is a small matter. As long as we can survive, the two of us can clear the dungeon together and get more points. It's not a big deal if one of us dies..."
Xue Rui fell silent, because he knew that Lin Leyou was telling the truth. He was no match for Lin Leyou, whether in terms of props or basic skills.
After all, Lin Leyou has the advantage of her status. If it really comes to that, sacrificing Lin Leyou seems justified, but...
Where does this sense of entitlement come from? Where does this sense of obligation to pay come from?
Xue Rui thought of the substitute item he had obtained from the official source using contribution points, and then looked at Lin Leyou in front of him. He decided not to tell him about the existence of this item for the time being.
He must teach Lin Leyou a lesson for his habit of sacrificing himself at the drop of a hat.
Xue Rui didn't say whether he agreed or not, and Lin Leyou, seeing that he didn't speak, took it as a tacit agreement, "Then it's settled."
"Don't worry, I'm only saying this as a last resort. Maybe we'll be lucky and won't encounter this situation?"
Xue Rui said, "There is no such thing as luck. Our luck score is just there, six points, which is very ordinary, but we have the ability."
Looking at his expression, Lin Leyou felt that Xue Rui was a little different today. "Yes, he has the ability."
Xue Rui: "So, we can definitely beat the game together. If we can't... then let's die together."
Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment, "Die together?"
Xue Rui said, "This is a super-star-level dungeon, and I will only have this one chance in my lifetime. If we fail this time, we are destined to be separated."
Lin Leyou's expression also turned serious. He had to admit that what Xue Rui said was true, and he could no longer run away from it. "I promise you."
There was nothing he couldn't agree to. He was able to be reborn, probably because of Xue Rui. If it weren't for Xue Rui, whom he met before he died in his previous life, and who broke the thing on his wrist...
Perhaps he himself cannot be reborn, or even if he goes back to the past, he will not be able to become a resident of the endless world. After all... if he were a player, he would definitely not be able to live to this day.
Because he is a resident, he has been able to gradually get to where he is today.
If he were to die with Xue Rui... if he hadn't fallen for Xue Rui, he wouldn't have agreed, no matter how many reasons he had, but things are different now.
"I promise you."
There's really no need to hesitate about the answer to this question.
Upon hearing this answer, Xue Rui was shaken. "I...I knew it..."
Lin Leyou casually took Xue Rui's hand and asked, "Know what? Know that I like you this much?"
Xue Rui didn't answer the question, but instead held Lin Leyou tightly.
"Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."
Lin Leyou leaned against him and said, "Alright, we haven't even entered the dungeon yet, and you're already thinking about dying with me. Can't you be a little more dignified?"
He even thought of what he had said to Qin Xingyu before: the other party was already thinking about what rewards he wanted before even clearing the dungeon, while he was thinking about dying together before even entering the dungeon.
It's true that no one should speak for anyone else.
Fortunately, Qin Xingyu was unaware of the situation on his side.
In the end, Xue Rui kept the fact that he had obtained the substitute item a secret. He still wanted to wait for the right opportunity to teach Lin Leyou a lesson and make him change his habitual way of thinking.
Lin Leyou, of course, had no idea that one day in the future, he would be given a good lesson by Xue Rui.
Time passed quietly, and Grandpa Xue eventually grew old. He passed away in August, the summer after Lin Leyou graduated from the Endless World University.
Those who need to know about the relationship between Lin Leyou and Xue Rui know it, but many people are unaware of whose family the big boss of the Xue Group has taken a liking to.
This person seemed ordinary, even of unknown origin, but it wasn't something they could comment on, so they simply talked about it in private.
They didn't even know Lin Leyou's name, after all, Xue Rui had kept it well hidden, and for so many years, Xue Rui had never brought him to banquets.
However, Lin Leyou appeared at Old Master Xue's funeral this time. He helped Xue Rui organize the funeral and received the people who came to pay their respects. Of course, he never took off his sunglasses or introduced himself.
He was like a person who came and went without a trace, and of course, many people saw him with those two children.
Everyone knows the identities of these two children: they are the children of Xue Zhengyang, who was sentenced to death, and they are twins. They do look somewhat similar to Xue Rui.
That makes sense, after all, they have the same father, how could they not look alike?
After the funeral lasted for several days, everything returned to calm. At this moment, Xue Rui stood in front of the grave, looking at the tombstone of Old Master Xue, while Lin Leyou stood behind him.
About half an hour later, Xue Rui turned to look at Lin Leyou and said, "From now on, you are all I have."
Lin Leyou smiled at him, "Before I met you, I only had myself. After I met you, my life included you."
Xue Rui was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and hugged Lin Leyou. Lin Leyou suddenly asked, "Will Grandpa be unhappy to see us like this?"
Xue Rui: "It's alright, Grandpa is just stubborn but soft-hearted. He'll just scold me a bit at most."
The two hugged for a while before leaving together. The Xue Group has now become an international behemoth with strong support from the country. Although it often faces suppression from foreign countries, it will still buy what it needs, at most doing some underhanded tricks behind the scenes.
Fortunately, the problem is not serious. As the country's national strength grows, the company's problems will be resolved.
The real world has indeed changed a lot in the past few years. It has only been five or six years since I met Xue Rui, but the changes in the whole country are like they have been put on fast forward.
Just take their city of H as an example. Skyscrapers are being renovated every year, especially those that are being demolished, not to mention subways, highways, high-speed rail, airports, and so on.
Just look around us: shopping malls, commercial streets, office buildings, and various industrial parks are springing up one after another, countless in number.
The high-tech industries of building appliances are at the forefront of the times, and of course, the Xue Group definitely accounts for the majority of the profits. After all, Xue Rui is powerful, and Lin Leyou is helping him from behind.
After all, Lin Leyou could directly shop in the Endless World, then pay points to the system, and bring many machine goods directly to the real world to be handed over to Xue Rui.
In this way, Xue Rui really seemed to have a cheat code, and he thrived in the real world, becoming invincible.
Of course, some people from the Administration Bureau noticed these things. Xue Rui directly claimed that he got them in the dungeon, and no one could ask him to take a lie detector test because of these things.
In any case, it benefits the country and the people.
Lin Leyou looked at the streetlights on both sides of the road on his way home. These streetlights seemed to have been installed not long ago; they were the newest and most beautiful type.
Now, the Jiangnan Villa District, which was not a good location before, is now considered to be in the city center, which shows how fast H City is developing.
If he were to sell this villa now, it would be worth ten times, or even dozens of times, the price he paid when he first bought it. He has also had several new neighbors in the community.
As night fell, just as the two were about to get intimate in the room, Lin Leyou's phone rang again. Xue Rui glanced at it and said, "Should I answer it?"
Lin Leyou shook his head, "Never mind him."
The two continued their intimacy, while the phone kept ringing, automatically hanging up only to be dialed again. In short, it seemed that if Lin Leyou didn't answer the phone, they would keep calling indefinitely.
Lin Leyou knew why they were calling – it was because they were really broke. Her younger brother needed to start elementary school, and normally, elementary schools were public schools with very low tuition fees.
The couple could definitely make money working together, even more easily than when Lin Letian was in kindergarten. But who knew that the incident where Lin Jiashu was hit on the head would leave him with some aftereffects.
Lin Jiashu occasionally suffers from headaches! When the pain comes, it really feels like his head is splitting open, and the hospital only recommends conservative treatment. He often throws tantrums at home because of this.
Lin Letian was originally the young master of the family, and he could have whatever he wanted. At least, if there was money, they would buy it for him. But ever since the aftereffects of Lin Jiashu started to take hold, he started to hold Lin Letian accountable.
This isn't entirely unfair, since he did do it, even though he didn't understand anything at the time.
Zhou Meijuan, needless to say, always had to protect her child, so she would stop Lin Jiashu when he made a move, which meant she would be beaten from time to time.
Originally, Lin Jiashu wasn't usually this short-tempered, nor would he lay a hand on a child. It was just because... once this aftereffect kicked in, he would lie on the bed, clutching his head, rolling around and wailing.
He scared his boss again at work and was fired. He couldn't find a job like his, and from then on, he became self-destructive and started beating and scolding his wife and children.
