Chapter 89 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou then realized that Xue Rui was a year younger than him. If he had just come of age, Xue Rui was only seventeen.
In the future, Xue Rui is still very weak now, not as strong as the Xue Rui he knew in his previous life.
Moreover... I already have a talent card, should I give this one to Xue Rui?
Well, he just thought the kid was cute and well-behaved, and maybe they could work together on missions in the future? After all, this collaboration went quite well.
In his past life, as an employee, he also had a good impression of Xue Rui, the boss, because Xue Rui was very honest and trustworthy in both managing employees and business matters.
Of course, you can know a person's face but not their heart.
However, Lin Leyou still wanted to try and see if he could cultivate a partner who could cooperate with him to complete the game.
Having made up his mind, Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief and patted Xue Rui on the shoulder, "It's alright now."
After closing his eyes, Xue Rui felt a breeze near his ear, and soon his body began to warm up. He didn't hear any more noises after that.
Unexpectedly, Lin Leyou resolved the issue so quickly. He carefully lowered his hand and looked at his reflection in the elevator. Sure enough, the black thing on his body was gone.
"call……"
Lin Leyou found it quite amusing to see Xue Rui breathe a huge sigh of relief, after all, Xue Rui had left a very deep impression on his boss in his previous life.
He handed over the card in his hand, saying, "Here you go."
Xue Rui didn't think too much about it, assuming it was just another item card like before, but to his surprise, he heard a system notification that it was a talent card!
Xue Rui was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "This...this thing..."
Lin Leyou snorted coldly, "Take it, little brat, lest I regret it later!"
Xue Rui blinked. The NPCs would regret it? That means they can also use these items and talents. After experiencing so many dungeons, he already knows how important talents are.
He had previously encountered a player with talent, whose talent, though not particularly outstanding, did not require points to use!
He wanted to return the talent card to Lin Leyou, but he really couldn't bear to part with it; the allure of talent to players was just too great.
His gaze cautiously fell on Lin Leyou, noticing that he seemed quite calm and didn't appear to be in great pain. In that case…
He gritted his teeth and swallowed hard. "Thank you, Brother Lin."
Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment. Exchanging a talent card for a title like "Brother Lin" didn't seem like a bad deal.
"Try it and see what it is."
Xue Rui clicked to use.
"Congratulations, player, you have acquired the talent Etherealization. Using this skill will make your body ethereal. During this time, you will be immune to all attacks except for specific items, and you will also be unable to attack others. The duration is 10 seconds. You can cancel the etherealization state early. You can use it 3 times a day."
It's clear that this talent is specifically for emergencies. Using it in critical situations can help avoid fatal damage, and in some cases, it can even change the course of a battle.
Xue Rui thought this talent was quite amazing. If possible, he could completely conceal some key points, or even tell Lin Leyou about the skills that weakened this talent.
He would have done so in the first place, but he chose not to hide it from the other party.
To be honest, Lin Leyou was indeed very envious. Although his previous talent for being trapped in a maze was also quite good, its cooldown time was only two hours.
But thinking about it carefully, each use can last for two hours, which means you can use it six times a day.
It's more practical for me, since he's an NPC and being stuck in a maze is more suitable for me.
This ethereal skill is also very powerful. It doesn't seem like something that would be dropped by a demon worth only 50 points, but once you get it, you really get it.
“You have great talent. You can go even further in the future. Let’s go and leave here first.”
Xue Rui followed obediently behind him. This time, he followed Lin Leyou into the elevator without feeling flustered at all.
"Brother Lin, shall we go back?"
Lin Leyou said, "You can go back, but I'm still working and can't go back."
Xue Rui: "Okay."
Lin Leyou found it quite strange to see Xue Rui, who seemed to have instantly shed all his sharp edges and become a docile little lamb.
"By the way, where do you live? Take me to see it."
Xue Rui: "No problem, Brother Lin, come with me."
Lin Leyou led him away from the building, asking as they walked, "How did you get from Building 1 all the way to Building 6?"
Xue Rui, "Because I live in room 102 on the first floor of this building."
The elevator doors opened just then, and Lin Leyou was somewhat surprised. "You came back to check on things?"
Xue Rui: "Yes."
He walked to room 102 and opened the door. Of course, there was no one inside, which meant that only Xue Rui lived there.
However, Xue Rui did not register his name with the property management company, so he could only be considered someone who was invited by the owner of the house to live there for a period of time, and did not have real ownership.
Xue Rui, "Brother Lin, would you like to come in and take a look?"
Lin Leyou remained cautious, so he stood at the door and looked around, asking, "Did you encounter anything unusual while you were staying here?"
Xue Rui thought for a moment, "No, but I always felt something was off, so I didn't stay here for too long."
“I was outside the whole time. I saw the players gathered in the square and I also saw Brother Lin in his security guard uniform, but I was a little uneasy and didn’t go over.”
"Then, while escaping from Building 5 with another player, we ran into you. After he escaped..."
Lin Leyou learned what happened afterward, "So that's how it is."
He carefully examined everything he could see from the doorway, including the ceiling, but still found nothing.
Xue Rui wanted to go in and take a look, but Lin Leyou grabbed his wrist. "Since you feel uneasy inside, don't go in casually. Sometimes, if you don't have any substantial evidence to prove that something is unfavorable to you, just follow your feelings."
Xue Rui also gave up the idea of going in to take a look, "I understand."
Lin Leyou released his wrist. "Let's go somewhere else. You can go back to my house to rest first. I've given you permission to go in."
Xue Rui thought for a moment and decided to go back to rest. "Then I'll go back to rest and make lunch. By the way, is Brother Lin coming back for lunch?"
Lin Leyou said, "The security guards will have lunch, you can go back and do your own thing."
"OK."
He watched Xue Rui walk towards Building 5 and quickly disappear from his sight, while he himself headed towards the small square.
Yao Mo and Qin Jiao are resting over there now.
He recalled Xue Rui's talent and felt quite envious. He hadn't expected to find such a good thing after killing these ghosts.
Looks like I'll have to kill more when I get the chance. I wonder if the other security guards can get these by killing evil spirits... Hmm?
Thinking about this, Lin Leyou suddenly realized something.
The stun baton paralyzes the target for ten minutes, but it cannot kill the stunned demons. The reason the user can kill the demons is because he has a cursed dagger as a prop.
So, can the other security guards kill the evil spirit?
It's fair to say that without specific weapons, it's impossible to kill it. The only option is to use an electric baton to stun the demon and then escape with the people inside.
The cursed dagger can attack ghosts, which is why it can kill evil spirits. Ordinary knives, such as kitchen knives, fruit knives, and daggers, cannot kill them.
Forget it, it's not good to jump to conclusions. I'll ask the captain at lunch later; he'll definitely know.
When they arrived at the small square, they indeed saw Qin Jiao and her companion. However, besides them, there were two unfamiliar men there as well, seemingly talking to Qin Jiao and her companion.
When he stepped forward, the four of them stopped talking.
Qin Jiao and Yao Mo looked at him as if they wanted to say something but hesitated, but they didn't show any other reaction. Lin Leyou asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Qin Jiao chuckled, "It's nothing, I was just telling them about what happened to us. They wanted to get to know you. They didn't expect that being a security guard would be so useful."
Whether it was his imagination or not, Lin Leyou felt that the two men in front of him harbored a hint of malice towards him.
"Hello, I am Lian Yushan, and this is my good buddy Tang Zhengchu."
Lin Leyou touched his mask. "Hello?"
Lian Yushan grinned, but his smile didn't look very friendly. "We'd like to ask, what did you do with the evil spirits that Yao Mo and the others encountered before?"
Lin Leyou, "What do you want to say?"
Lian Yushan shrugged, looking nonchalant. "My brother and I killed a demon before. It took us a lot of effort to kill it, and then we found a card. It was a prop card."
Lin Leyou said calmly, "So that's what you were talking about. Congratulations."
Lian Yushan narrowed his eyes and revealed a provocative smile, "You killed that evil spirit too, right? After all, you knocked it unconscious with a stun gun."
"If you can't even kill it, then that doesn't make sense, right?"
Lin Leyou repeated, "What do you want to say?"
Seeing the atmosphere between the two becoming increasingly tense, Tang Zhengchu quickly came over and pulled Lian Yushan back a step, "Hey, why are you angry? Why are you talking so harshly? Why don't you just ask nicely?"
Lian Yushan seemed to only realize this at this moment, "Oh, don't be angry, I'm just a straightforward person."
Lin Leyou: "Really?"
Lian Yushan said, "I just want to ask what you got."
Qin Jiao and Yao Mo probably now believe that they let them go first so that they could kill the evil spirit and keep the items for themselves.
Lin Leyou looked innocent. "What does this have to do with you?"
Lian Yushan blinked. "It has nothing to do with me, but it has to do with those two. After all, they're the ones who brought out the evil spirit. You can't just keep quiet and take all the blame yourself."
