Chapter 373 [(*^▽^*)]
After all… what kind of partner could he possibly find? A resident of an infinite world? Are you kidding me? What if his true identity as someone from the real world is exposed?
Looking for real-world people? Does that mean ordinary people or gamers? Neither seems right. If you're looking for ordinary people, how do you explain someone who doesn't work but always has endless money?
Looking for other players? The fact that I'm a resident of the Infinite World will probably be exposed soon. How will I handle that? Will I face any crises?
If you encounter a crisis and die in the real world, aren't you really dead? If you die in an infinite world, can you be resurrected?
He only knew that deaths within the instance did not count.
He has never died in any place outside of the dungeons in the infinite world, so it is unknown whether he can come back to life.
However… considering Jiang Changdong’s sneak attack and assassination attempt outside the amusement park, he felt it was very likely he wouldn’t survive. After all, if he could survive…
How could Jiang Changdong take the items from his backpack? He would have to be completely dead, with everything in his backpack falling out, before Jiang Changdong could take the items he wanted.
Furthermore, killing each other is strictly prohibited within the Endless City, precisely to prevent such a thing from happening, right?
Similarly, if you tell all players that when they kill other players in the real world, they can steal their points, money, and all their items, without saying "all," the vast majority of players will definitely be tempted!
The world will surely descend into chaos, and the existence of players will no longer be a secret.
"Phew..." Lin Leyou let out a long breath, all of this is no longer related to him now.
After getting off the train, Lin Leyou dragged his suitcase into the train station. Although it wasn't fast, it was convenient. He really didn't want to squeeze onto the bus. If he took the train, he could buy a more expensive sleeper ticket, which would be much more comfortable.
Lin Leyou rested in the waiting room for a while. When it was almost time, he checked his ticket and boarded the train. After finding his seat and putting his suitcase away, he sat on the bed to rest.
Before long, people started getting on the train. People came to the bunk beds opposite Lin Leyou, but no one came to the bed below hers, probably because the tickets hadn't been sold yet.
He lay casually on the bunk, playing on his phone, giving off a "keep away" vibe. The two young men opposite him, seeing his demeanor, gave up on chatting with him and ended up sitting together on the lower bunk, chatting quite well.
Lin Leyou could tell they were all bragging, but as long as they were having a good time, he wouldn't deliberately expose them and annoy them unnecessarily.
The phone contained a novel he had downloaded in advance at an internet cafe near his residence. And to be honest, it was really engaging. He had never read anything like it in his previous life, so everything he saw was new and exciting.
He would play games and listen to music at internet cafes, but he wouldn't get addicted to anything, no matter how good it was. After all, the most important thing to him was the endless world that would reopen in a few months.
Dalin Leyou took out his headphones, put them on, turned the volume down very low, and then closed his eyes to take a nap.
The two people opposite him thought he was sleeping. Although they were still chatting, they deliberately lowered their voices. Lin Leyou felt much better. It was really pleasant to meet a few well-mannered people on the street.
Before Lin Leyou could even drift off to sleep, a loud bang came from next door. Not only was Lin Leyou, who was half-asleep, startled and opened his eyes wide, but even the people chatting downstairs who weren't asleep were terrified and trembled. "What... what happened?"
Why was there such a loud noise?
"Could something have happened?"
"Shall we go take a look?"
Lin Leyou had already released a mechanical spider when he opened his eyes wide. He quickly saw the situation in the next bunk. There were four people in the upper and lower bunks next door, two men and two women, but now the four of them were crammed together. The noise he had just heard was the sound of them falling to the ground because they were crammed together.
Even more surprisingly, Lin Leyou saw through the mechanical spider that two of the men were holding weapons, one a short sword and the other a dagger, both of which were clearly very sharp and gleaming.
Player!
Upon seeing this, those two words immediately popped into Lin Leyou's mind. He then looked at the people who were about to get up and go next door to check the situation, fearing that something unexpected might happen if they saw it.
So he turned to look at them and whispered, "Don't go."
They paused for a moment, looked at each other a few times, and then, for reasons unknown, returned to their seats and sat down together.
They whispered to Lin Leyou, "We really shouldn't have gone over there. What if we got beaten up?"
"Yeah, meddling in other people's business can easily get you beaten up. There should be others going to check the situation. Let's just leave it at that to avoid getting into trouble."
By this time, the four people in the next berth had all separated and returned to their seats. Moreover, some people had already gathered around in the aisle, but they seemed to have nothing to say and went back without saying anything.
Crisis over?
They weren't there to meddle, but rather because they thought something might have happened and came to check it out. Of course, they were mostly looking for gossip. Since there was nothing to see and nothing had happened, everyone went back to doing their own thing.
After the carriage returned to its previous noise, Lin Leyou saw the four of them glaring at each other again, then taking out their phones to type. The force with which they typed showed just how angry they were.
Lin Leyou didn't go over to see what was on their screens. As long as they didn't bother him, he wouldn't meddle.
Fortunately, they remained quiet after that. Although they would get angry from time to time, at least they didn't resort to violence.
After about half a day, Lin Leyou noticed that he had arrived at his stop. He got up, took his suitcase, and went to wait by the train door. On the way, he also recalled his mechanical spider. After arriving at the station, he got off the train and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Of course, he went unnoticed by anyone. The four players next door only glanced at him as he dragged his suitcase through the aisle, and then paid him no further attention.
Lin Leyou was being cautious, wearing a hat and a black mask. He didn't wear sunglasses, but when he put on his hat, he deliberately let some of his bangs stick out, enough to cover the upper half of his face.
That way, there will be no chance of anything going wrong.
Lin Leyou is certainly not short of money these days. After leaving the station, he took a taxi directly to the best hotel. Of course, he wasn't extravagant enough to book a suite, as that would be too conspicuous. When traveling alone, even if you have money, it's better to keep a low profile. After thinking it over, he booked a deluxe single room.
It wasn't peak tourist season, so Lin Leyou quickly checked in. On his way to his room, he carefully examined the hotel's decor and layout.
To be honest, in his past life he worked on construction sites, including some hotels, but he never stayed in any of them; he only ever glanced at the outside of hotels when he passed by.
At the time, he envied the well-dressed people coming and going in the hotel and imagined that one day he could become one of them.
He has now achieved it, although his method is somewhat different from others, but... there are top performers in every profession, and he can't be considered to have taken a shortcut.
Even if you live in an infinite world, you will still be in danger when the time comes.
Lin Leyou opened the door and glanced inside. Sure enough... it was a deluxe single room in the best hotel. Just by looking at the decor, you could tell it cost a lot.
He first checked every part of the room to avoid finding anything suspicious, but after checking and finding nothing, he realized that this was more than 20 years ago, and there shouldn't have been any hidden cameras back then.
Furthermore, the bedding was very clean; there wasn't a single hair to be found, the floor was spotless, the table was sparkling clean, and the blankets and pillows even had a sun-dried smell!
Lin Leyou was shocked. In his previous life, decades later, photos of extremely poor hygiene at certain hotels were exposed online almost every day, which made him shudder. But... now, maybe not, this hotel is different.
Well, since it's clean, that makes things easier. I just need to live here comfortably, and there's no need for unnecessary trouble.
As it turned out, things didn't go as planned. Just as he finished packing his things and was sitting on the sofa enjoying the view outside the window, someone knocked on the door.
Lin Leyou was taken aback. Who was knocking on the door? He subconsciously put his mask back on.
"Hello, waiter."
"Is there something you need?"
"Excuse me, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
Lin Leyou frowned slightly, went over and opened the door. Outside were indeed hotel staff, and behind them stood a man and a woman, who seemed to be other guests.
"What's up?"
The waiter was very embarrassed. "Well... these two people stayed in this room before. They said they forgot something and wanted to come back to look for it."
Lin Leyou crossed her arms and asked, "After the guests check out, doesn't your hotel do a thorough cleaning?"
When he entered the room, it was spotless, not a speck of dust, and everything was perfectly clean. There shouldn't have been any items left by the previous guest.
The hotel staff who have gathered the items should take them to the front desk or contact the departing guests to ask if they want to come back for them.
"That's for sure, you don't need to worry."
Lin Leyou said, "In that case, there's no need for us to come in."
The woman looked angry. "What did you say?! What's wrong with letting us in to look for it?"
"If I let you in to look for it, and you don't find it, are you going to blame it on me?"
"Also, does his statement that the item was left in the hotel room mean it was really left here? What if it was left somewhere else?"
The man and woman standing behind the waiter looked very impatient and were clearly not easy to get along with.
