Chapter 39 [Seeking support and collection]
Jiang Xiali said, "Yes, as long as this batch... is all killed, this job will be over."
Lin Leyou, "Kill them all?"
In Jiangxia Li, "Hmph! Of course, some are lucky enough to find a chance to escape, but they are a very small minority."
Lin Leyou understood. Qingshui Town was a survival game arena where each NPC could hunt players in their own territory. The job was done when all the players were dead or escaped.
That's brutal! It's much more brutal than the beginner dungeon in Shangyu Village. I wonder if there's any place in the middle of these NPCs' territories where they can catch their breath.
For example, areas that are not included in NPC territory.
Lin Leyou: "Shouldn't we also follow the rules?"
Jiang Xiali said, "Of course, just like when I'm a hotel owner, I can't do everything myself; I have to utilize all the facilities in the hotel..."
Lin Leyou, "The butcher..."
Jiangxia Li thought, "Well, I'll find out the specific rules when we get there. Once we get to Qingshui Town, I'll need to familiarize myself with my job. There's not much time left..."
Lin Leyou didn't understand what "not much time left" meant until they arrived in Qingshui Town.
After leaving Endless City, the car drove for several hours on the main road outside the city, passing through a withered forest, and finally stopped in an open space.
"Get off the bus. Clearwater Town is just ahead, only a two-minute walk away. After this mission is completed, I will wait for you here and take you back to Endless City."
What appeared before Lin Leyou was a desolate scene. The ground was covered with withered yellow weeds, the trees were dry and lifeless, and the leaves were piled up on the ground in a thick layer, emitting a strange stench of decay.
Ahead lies Qingshui Town, which appears shrouded in a gray mist. The buildings in the town look somewhat dilapidated and sparsely packed, with scattered houses clustered together, and there don't seem to be many people in the distance.
A small river runs through the entire town, but from a distance, the river water appears black.
Is this Qingshui Town? Could it be that this river is called Qingshui River?
The Qingshui River with its black water? I've learned something new; it can't compare to the scenery of Shangyu Village at all.
Jiang Xiali took a deep breath. "Qingshui Town... is still the same as before."
A short while later, a woman dressed in a black dress came out of the town and walked up to them. "Gentlemen, please come with me."
The woman in the black dress led them forward without saying a word, and Jiang Xiali didn't speak either.
The three of them walked along the road, and the townspeople around them saw them but simply looked away expressionlessly and went on with their own business.
From a distance, Qingshui Town looked dilapidated and desolate. Now that I'm inside, it's even more chilly and lifeless. But that makes sense, since this is a dungeon; it can't be considered a pleasant place.
The first place we arrived at was the hotel, Shimizu Hotel.
The woman in the black dress said, "Mr. Ning, this is your work location this time. The hotel is your territory. The detailed rules are in your room. Please be sure to follow them."
Jiangxia Li: "Okay, no problem."
He readily agreed and even said goodbye to Lin Leyou before leaving.
Lin Leyou nodded to him, then followed the woman in the black dress and continued walking forward. They walked all the way to the center of town, crossed the bridge, traversed the entire town, and arrived at the other side of the town.
What appeared before Lin Leyou was a large slaughterhouse, surrounded by a wall.
"Mr. Lin, this is your work location for this trip. This slaughterhouse is your territory. The detailed rules are in your break room. Please be sure to follow them."
After speaking, the woman in the black dress left. Lin Leyou looked at the dilapidated iron gate of the slaughterhouse, the metal of which was almost completely corroded.
He squeezed through the gap in the iron gate and wandered around the slaughterhouse. He found it filled with dead pigs, and much of the pork was rotten. The smell was unbearable!
Fortunately, the rest room was in a small room near the main gate, not inside. After getting a general idea of the slaughterhouse, Lin Leyou entered the rest room to look for clues.
There's no need to look for it; in the clean and tidy lounge, there's a piece of paper on the desk with the rules to follow in Qingshui Town, and... how to get paid for your work.
"First: The slaughterhouse is your territory, your overall strength will increase by 100%! Don't go out unless necessary."
"Second: The butcher should have his own very handy sharp knife and should not lose it carelessly."
"Third: Anyone who enters the slaughterhouse without your permission will be subject to a negative status effect that reduces their overall strength by 50%, and you have the right to kill them."
"Fourth: Kill any person who breaks into the slaughterhouse, and you will be rewarded with 10 points and 100,000 coins."
There are only these four rules in total. Lin Leyou memorized them. Actually, the last rule could be supplemented. For example, "any one" does not necessarily refer to the player. Other residents of Qingshui Town are also included.
Furthermore, killed players may drop items, such as those from other players. These items can be collected and used, provided they have been taken out and not retrieved from the player's inventory before death.
That said, the innkeeper and the butcher might have been killed because they trespassed on the territory of other mini-bosses.
After all, that's how the rules are written. He and Jiang Xiali are only here to make up the numbers this time. After this mission is completed, they will leave, and these two positions will be selected from the residents of Qingshui Town.
Just like the previous position of the owner of the small shop in Shangyu Village.
Lin Leyou carefully observed the lounge, which was about 20 square meters in size. There was a small room inside, and a small kitchen was near the door. A single bed was against the wall, and there was a window on that wall.
There was also a small table, probably for eating, a bedside table, and a wardrobe. It was very simple, but very clean.
Lin Leyou took the things out of her backpack and tidied them up, placing snacks and other edible items neatly on the table.
The clothes are still the ones I brought from Shangyu Village, sigh...
It seems that when I go back this time, I can stroll around the Endless Square and buy some things. I looked in the bathroom and there were some simple toiletries that were still unopened, and they looked very cheap.
"Why……"
After packing his things, Lin Leyou checked the refrigerator. It was well-stocked; enough to feed him for ten days!
"Very good, now it's time to find the Butcher's equipment."
That's right, Lin Leyou still hasn't found the butcher's supposedly handy dagger.
