The man's eye twitched. Oh! This kid is deliberately ruining my plans, isn't he?
Suppressing a hint of anger in his eyes, the man immediately flashed an exaggerated smile and said:
"Young people these days really know how to joke!"
His expression immediately turned serious:
"I've already said I'm confident I can clear this dungeon. If you come with me now, it's like reaping the benefits without lifting a finger. Aren't you all willing to do something that brings you easy profits?"
"Of course, I know what you're worried about. You just think this instance is too dangerous."
"But think about it, if it were a one-way trip, would I go?"
The man's words were very persuasive, and they even made Gao Yang waver a little.
Gao Yang kept giving Lin Yu meaningful glances, "How about it? How about we consider it?"
"Consider it my foot!" Lin Yu was speechless.
Seeing this, the man's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, and he said in a frank tone:
"At our first meeting, there may be a lack of trust between us, but we can definitely deepen our trust through communication. My name is Li Fei, and this is my job change card."
As he spoke, he took out a high-tech-looking card and handed it to Gao Yang.
Lin Yu took it, which was a bit presumptuous of him, but he figured Gao Yang wouldn't mind.
After a quick glance, Lin Yu's body involuntarily tensed up.
Name: Li Fei. Occupation: Sharpshooter. Level: LV5.
The entry level for the "Midnight Theater" instance is 1 to 5, so Lin Yu had previously deduced that the opponent's level was no higher than 5.
Lin Yu's deduction was correct, but level 5 was clearly the worst possible outcome.
Knowing the gap between them, Lin Yu's vigilance only grew stronger.
He silently handed the job change card back, then took two steps back without making a sound, and pulled Gao Yang back a little more. Only then did he say:
"Mr. Li Fei, thank you for your invitation, but we still have to apologize. After all, we just completed our job change three days ago."
"Newbies like us who know nothing would probably just drag you down if we went into a dungeon together, right?"
Lin Yu said sincerely.
He was politely refusing while simultaneously showing weakness to lull the other party into a false sense of security.
Lin Yu was certain of one thing: this area was under the jurisdiction of the local police, and the other party would not dare to fire a shot.
Imagine a level 5 marksman who can't fire a gun being caught off guard and ambushed by a level 2 swordsman with true damage. That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
Li Fei forced a smile and said:
“Young man, I appreciate your honesty. But don’t worry, as long as you follow my and my companions’ instructions once you enter the instance, you will be safe.”
Are there any companions?
A flicker of surprise crossed Lin Yu's eyes, then he shook his head:
"I'm sorry, I'm still not confident in my abilities. How about this, I'll sell you the dungeon key, and you can find someone more capable."
As she spoke, she winked at Gao Yang.
Gao Yang understood and laughed heartily, "Brother Li Fei, we agreed on 50,000 before, you wouldn't go back on your word so quickly, would you?"
At the same time, Gao Yang gripped his axe tightly, ready to put it to the other person's neck at any moment, giving the other person a chance to reorganize their words.
Hmm, that's roughly what Lin Yu meant, right?
Li Fei's expression gradually darkened, his eyes revealing danger, like a venomous snake poised to strike.
This forced Gao Yang to change his strategy. Should he just cut them off later?
But Li Fei's expression returned to normal in an instant, and he smiled:
"In that case, let's do it as agreed beforehand. 50,000, not a penny less."
As he spoke, he silently took out his phone, typed a text message, and sent it:
"Plans have changed, crush the key immediately!"
After sending the message, he was just about to attack Lin Yu and his companion when he saw them strike him with lightning speed.
Lin Yu drew his blue stone sword and slashed at Li Fei's left chest. The sword energy surged and sliced through the air.
Gao Yang swung his great axe and cleaved it towards Li Fei's right side, creating a whistling gust of wind.
"You! You deserve to die!" Li Fei exclaimed in shock, cursing as he hurriedly dodged.
But then he saw his body shift at an incredible angle, narrowly dodging Lin Yu's slash. The sword energy grazed his chest, tearing his clothes, but failed to harm his body.
Li Fei then sidestepped, easily dodging Gao Yang's giant axe.
"Clang!" The axe struck the ground with a crisp sound.
Lin Yu and his partner coordinated perfectly, but Li Fei easily neutralized their attack using his superior level.
After a brief moment of panic, Li Fei quickly regained his composure, coldly staring at Lin Yu and the other man, a playful smile playing on his lips.
"You two little brats think you can kill your grandpa?"
Lin Yu immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
A level 5 sharpshooter's physical attributes are 2.5 times that of him and 5 times that of Gao Yang. Dealing with them is like crushing a noob.
At that moment, Lin Yu suddenly had a bright idea and said, "Gao Yang, you have a loud voice, quickly shout for help!"
Without hesitation, Gao Yang immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "Help! Help! Someone's trying to kill me!"
In the still of the night, the shouts, like thunder, spread rapidly and reached several nearby buildings.
The lights in the security building suddenly came on, clearly indicating that the security guards on night duty had noticed the commotion and would likely arrive soon.
"Damn it! Shut your mouth!" Li Fei's face was extremely gloomy.
Gao Yang remained unmoved and continued to shout, "Help! Help! Someone's trying to kill me!"
