Chapter 762 [(*^▽^*)]
To be honest, Lin Wanyi's guess was pretty accurate. Anyone who knows a little about the grudges and entanglements between Lin Leyou and Jiang Changdong could probably guess a thing or two.
Of course, regardless of the circumstances, Jiang Changdong's death is real, and it is also true that he died at the hands of the dungeon boss.
At that moment, Lin Leyou heard Xue Rui say, "Leyou, I have obtained a talent card."
Lin Leyou immediately jumped up excitedly, lay down on the bed and obediently covered himself with the blanket. Back in the real world, he rolled over and pinned Xue Rui, who was lying next to him, down on top of him.
"Tell me, what kind of talent card is it!"
Xue Rui was a little slow to react before laughing and saying, "The talent 'Long Night' can conjure up some black lines that won't harm living things, but once you come into contact with them, it will take 100 million points to dispel them. If you attack inanimate objects, it will be like the crack left on the ground in the neighborhood."
Lin Leyou, "How many black lines can you conjure at the same time?"
Xue Rui said, "You can only conjure ten black lines a day. Once used, even if you don't hit anyone, it will still consume one opportunity."
Talent: Long Night: Each day, ten long lines representing the night can be conjured. When these lines come into contact with people, they require one point to offset the effects of the Long Night. When they come into contact with inanimate objects, they will turn into the sharpest blades, cutting everything in two.
I have to say, this talent is really too cruel.
However, this talent doesn't seem to have much effect. For players or residents of their level, it's just a financial pain at most.
Moreover, after being outmaneuvered once or twice, it will definitely raise their guard, and it won't be so easy to succeed, unless all ten black lines go through at once, which can consume the opponent's 1 billion points.
Ten messages a day... that's a bit too few.
You can't just accumulate fifty lines at once. How did Jiang Changdong manage to create so many black lines all at once?
Xue Rui could probably guess right; he definitely used a less-than-ideal method.
Lin Leyou said, "This is also a good thing. It has at least two uses. Indirectly speaking, it can be considered an offensive talent. At least those with less than one billion points in their pockets will definitely not dare to provoke you."
Xue Rui: "Each instance doesn't just last one day."
If someone provokes him in a dungeon, he'll go and retaliate every day. If he succeeds, he'll lose 1 billion points every day. If the dungeon lasts for 10 days, and the success rate is 50%, he'll lose 5 billion points. Besides, some dungeons last for more than just a few days.
Regardless, Jiang Changdong is indeed dead. The biggest threat in the endless world was eliminated under such unknown circumstances, which caught him somewhat off guard.
Of course, we still need to be wary of Jiang Changdong's family members, such as Qiu Baiyu, Jiang Xiaming, and Jiang Xiayue who just returned from the dungeon.
As for those who are on good terms with Jiang Changdong?
When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. Jiang Changdong is dead, so why would those who were on good terms with him come looking for trouble because of him? Although it wasn't publicly announced, everyone who needed to know knew that he was now Qin Xingyu's disciple.
If anything happens to him, Qin Xingyu will definitely not stand idly by.
Over the years, he has indeed kept a low profile, so low that many people have almost forgotten about him. But once his name is mentioned, everyone can think of Qin Xingyu chasing down the person who deceived his feelings.
As long as the opponent is alive, he will not give up the pursuit, chasing them from outside the instance to inside. Wherever the opponent might appear, Qin Xingyu will not let them go.
Because of this incident, Qin Xingyu ran countless dungeons back then, finally killing his opponent in a certain dungeon. In many people's eyes, Qin Xingyu was a mad dog.
Unfortunately, Mad Dog was incredibly strong, and few could rival him. Everyone set a red line for themselves, determined never to provoke Qin Xingyu.
Lin Leyou is the first student Qin Xingyu has taken on in all these years.
To be honest, given how long the feud between Jiang Changdong and Lin Leyou has lasted, they're both wondering how Jiang Changdong has managed to survive until now.
At this time, Jiang Changdong died. Although the cause of death was clear, where is Xingfu Community? It's not where Jiang Changdong lived; it's Lin Leyou's home.
Therefore, this matter is definitely related to Lin Leyou!
So the reason why Jiang Changdong has been able to continue his activities without Qin Xingyu taking action is entirely because Qin Xingyu intends to leave Jiang Changdong to Lin Leyou to deal with himself.
Those who thought they had figured it out quickly put the matter out of their minds. In the infinite world, it was quite common to die after one's points were reduced to a negative number.
Countless people die almost every day. When death becomes the norm, people will take a more normal approach to it.
As it turned out, Jiang Changdong's death did not cause a ripple; it was merely something people talked about over tea, and it was quickly replaced by other matters.
For example, the arrival of super-star dungeons.
Not only Lin Leyou and Xue Rui got the key, but several other residents also got the key. Residents who got the key and were not interested in the Super Star Dungeon would put it up for sale.
The entire Endless World has recently become lively because of two keys that have appeared on the market, and no one knows who will ultimately win them.
Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Lin Leyou and the other person.
After killing Jiang Changdong, their lives returned to normal. Lin Leyou spent her days living and studying in both the infinite world and the real world, while Xue Rui began to gradually cultivate his own people.
Once these management talents are trained, let them take over some of the work, so that he won't have to stay in the company all day busy.
Although Lin Leyou would come to the company with him, he was still not satisfied.
It wasn't until a year later, when Xue Rui graduated from university, that he had more free time, but Lin Leyou still needed to go to school.
This year during the Spring Festival, Xue Rui and Lin Leyou came to the Xue family's old house together. This time, they didn't come alone; they also brought the two children with them.
The child is still very young and doesn't speak fluently, but he can already recognize people and looks very lively and energetic.
When Grandpa Xue saw the child, although he didn't seem to like him much on the surface and didn't show any reaction, he at least didn't send the child away.
For Grandpa Xue, this already counts as accepting the two children.
After all, Xue Qian was demoted to the lowest rung by the old man and refused to admit it no matter what. Of course, Du Anxian was also a restless woman.
While things are harmonious and joyful here, the situation is somewhat different in Lin Leyou's hometown.
Lin Jiashu looked at the food on the table, wanting to get angry, but he also knew the situation perfectly well. "This is all we get to eat during the New Year..."
Zhou Meijuan hadn't even sat down to eat; she was chasing after the child with a bowl and spoon, trying to feed him, saying, "Eat quickly! There's meat for us today, it's especially delicious!"
The child ran and shouted, "No, no, I don't want to eat! I want potato chips!"
Zhou Meijuan was soothing the child that she didn't hear what Lin Jiashu said at all. Lin Jiashu complained and wanted to get angry, but after thinking about it, he put down his chopsticks and started eating.
What good will getting angry do? Will you spend money to buy big meals? Does that cost nothing? Since the child started kindergarten, our finances have become very tight. Fortunately, we don't need formula anymore, otherwise we would be doomed.
They hadn't forgotten about the house, but it was only recently purchased and its price had indeed increased somewhat, so selling it so quickly was definitely out of the question.
That means they can only barely afford to spend the meager amount they have.
Lin Jiashu stared blankly at the fish, braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, and egg drop soup on the table. It was only during the New Year that he could afford to eat meat at home. Usually, they rarely had meat dishes at home, and the most they had was eggs. This was the only thing they could afford to eat regularly.
Lin Jiashu couldn't help but look at his phone. They often contacted Lin Leyou, but no matter how many times they called or how many messages they sent, it all went unanswered. It was as if the other party had forgotten that they, her parents, existed.
Zhou Meijuan tried to coax her son for a long time, but he still refused to eat. He even started smashing toys in protest, so she gave up and returned to the dining table.
"Why are you unhappy? There's meat today, eat more."
Lin Jiashu sighed, "Should we call the police to find that ungrateful wretch?"
Zhou Meijuan served herself some rice, then picked up her chopsticks and ate a piece of meat. "Why don't you go and call the police? Maybe you can find him. Let's see if he has any money first."
Lin Jiashu: "Then let's give it a try."
Many people are on holiday during the Lunar New Year, so there must be people at the police station. Lin Jiashu went to report the incident the next day, but finding someone is not something that can be done overnight.
"You said your son ran away from home and you don't know where he is now, right?"
Lin Jiashu: "Yes, I just want to know where he is, or to get him back."
"Finding the person might take a long time, and there's no guarantee we'll find them. Go back and wait; we'll let you know when we have news. Leave your phone number here."
When the topic turned to the phone, Lin Jiashu said directly, "I have his number, but he never answers it or replies to my messages. Do you think this number is even useful?"
The police officer looked up in surprise after hearing him say this. "So you can contact him?"
Lin Jiashu shook his head. "I can't get in touch with them, but this number is definitely correct."
The police finally understood that this person's son must have run away from his family. He had seen many people like this before; they couldn't stand their elders and ran away as soon as they came of age and got their ID cards.
Lin Jiashu asked the police to call using the police station's phone. The police had no choice but to make the call anyway. Meanwhile, Lin Leyou was still lying in bed chatting with Xue Rui.
At the Xue family's old residence, there's no need to get up early.
He picked up the phone and glanced at it after it rang. "Hmm?"
He looked at the caller ID with a puzzled expression, then smiled and answered the phone, "Hello?"
Police officer: "Hello, are you Mr. Lin Leyou?"
Lin Leyou: "Yes, it's me."
Police officer: "First, let me confirm if you have any special circumstances?"
Lin Leyou: "No, I'm fine now."
