Survival in an apartment, starting with a stroke of luck on a plane

"Let's go back first." After realizing that he couldn't do anything about this place, Lin Yu didn't linger any longer and strode down the fifth floor.

However, just as he reached the corner on the third floor, a familiar figure came into view.

It's Wang Junyue.

She gripped the copper coin sword tightly in her left hand, while her right hand held a palm-sized copper mirror with Bagua patterns engraved on its edge. The mirror was dim, but a faint luster flowed through it.

This must be what she found while searching the walled city.

She moved cautiously along the base of the wall, her face showing tension and vigilance.

Upon seeing Lin Yu, Wang Junyue's eyes lit up, but were quickly replaced by a complex mix of emotions—surprise, doubt, and a hint of barely perceptible fear.

She hurried up to him, lowering her voice, her tone urgent and direct: "Lin Yu, the system notification... is it because of you, right? You completed that 'The Truth About the Building' side quest?"

Lin Yu nodded, seeing no need to hide it, and replied, "It's me."

There are only five players in the game, so this kind of thing can't be kept secret. Anyone can guess that it's related to Lin Yu.

Upon hearing Lin Yu's answer, Wang Junyue's face paled even more. She subconsciously clenched the copper coin sword and Bagua mirror in her hand, her knuckles turning white from the force: "That hidden BOSS, Wang Xiangxian, is Boss Wang, right?"

Are you confident... in dealing with him?

This was her biggest concern, and her voice trembled noticeably.

After all, according to the system prompt, the BOSS would be making his move tonight. Based on the prompt, his strength was definitely not weak. Wang Junyue was also very worried because she had suddenly lost the time to continue developing.

Lin Yu stopped and looked at her, his tone calm to the point of cruelty: "Are you really confident you can take him down? Not really."

Wang Junyue's heart sank to the bottom, and the light in her eyes quickly dimmed.

"However," Lin Yu changed the subject, giving her a glimmer of hope, "I'm confident I can save my life and complete the main quest."

Looking into Wang Junyue's eyes, which had regained their hope, he added, "In return for your kindness, the money you gave me before helped a lot, so I can help you complete the main quest."

Wang Junyue breathed a sigh of relief, as if grasping at a lifeline, and nodded hurriedly, "Thank you! Thank you! What should I do? Is there anything I can do?"

As long as I can live, nothing else matters.

"Come to my apartment before midnight tonight." Lin Yu said succinctly, then continued walking forward.

"Go...go to your apartment?" Wang Junyue was stunned for a moment, then a strange, disgusted, and somewhat embarrassed expression appeared on her face as she looked at Lin Yu with evasive eyes.

Lin Yu paused, turned around and glanced at her, his eyes looking at her as if she were an idiot.

He smirked and retorted without any politeness, "What are you thinking? I'm not interested in you."

He glanced at her chest, scoffed, and made no attempt to hide his feelings – he couldn't afford A.

"My apartment can keep out the boss. Come if you want, or don't come if you don't. I won't wait for you if you miss out." With that, he turned and walked away quickly without looking back.

Wang Junyue was so embarrassed that her face turned red. She was both ashamed and angry, but she felt mostly relieved to have survived the ordeal and a little awkward.

She stamped her foot, watched Lin Yu's departing figure, gritted her teeth, and quickly chased after him: "Wait! I... I'll go back and pack up all the valuables in my apartment first! I'll come to your apartment to find you later!"

She had to prepare for the worst; if the boss destroyed her own apartment, everything inside would be gone.

She could leave with her belongings, so even if the apartment was gone, she would at least have some savings. Of course, it would be best if the apartment wasn't destroyed, but unfortunately, she had no choice.

Lin Yu did not object, but simply hummed in response.

……

When Lin Yu returned to his apartment floor, his brows immediately furrowed.

At the apartment entrance, Zhang Jun and Liu Yueyue, like two mad hyenas, were shouting insults at his door, spitting and spewing vulgarities.

"Lin Yu! You bastard! It's all your fault!"

"If you want to die, don't drag us down with you! What kind of bullshit side quest are you talking about! Now look what happened! We've lost our development time! The boss has appeared early! We're all going to die with you!"

"Open the door! Go ahead and open the door if you dare! Don't hide inside like a coward!"

"Smash it! Smash his door! Make sure he can't sleep peacefully either!" Zhang Jun, leaning on his cane, swung a large hammer in his other hand, roaring hysterically as he tried to smash the door. However, the invisible force of the rules tightly bound his arm, making each swing feel like sinking into mud, and he couldn't actually touch the door.

Liu Yueyue, meanwhile, cried out in support of Liu Yueyue.

Clearly, they had also received a system notification and immediately identified the "culprit" who had completed the task—Lin Yu.

They poured all the root of their despair onto Lin Yu.

If physical destruction is impossible, then the most vicious language is used to attack.

Of course, their thinking wasn't entirely wrong. With their strength and the items they had, if the BOSS were to appear tonight, they would have almost no chance of survival.

Therefore, from their perspective, they have every right to criticize Lin Yu.

Of course, from Lin Yu's perspective, it's not wrong for him to complete the task and get more rewards.

Strictly speaking, neither of them has any problems, but of course, that doesn't mean Lin Yu is completely indifferent.

I was originally thinking of asking them if they would like to come to my apartment, but now I think I'll pass (Author's note: Just kidding, even if you don't scold them, they won't ask).

Lin Yu walked over expressionlessly, his footsteps startling the two of them.

"Lin Yu!!" Zhang Jun turned around abruptly, his bloodshot eyes instantly bursting with deep-seated resentment and madness. He roared, dragging his injured leg, and pounced on Lin Yu like a moth drawn to a flame!

"I'll fight you to the death!!"

Liu Yueyue screamed and followed closely behind, looking like a madwoman.

However, just as their hands were about to touch Lin Yu's clothes—

hum!

An invisible, overwhelming, and immense repulsive force arose out of nowhere!

boom!boom!

The two were thrown back violently as if hit by a speeding truck, utterly powerless, and crashed heavily onto walls and piles of debris several meters away, emitting painful groans and screams.

Zhang Jun's injured leg was hit a second time, causing him to writhe on the ground in pain and howl incessantly.

Lin Yu didn't even glance at them, as if he had merely swatted away two noisy flies.

He walked straight to the door, took out his key, and calmly opened the door under the resentful and desperate gazes of Zhang Jun and Liu Yueyue. He went inside and then shut out all the insults and curses with a "bang."

The world became quiet in an instant.

Inside the apartment.

Lin Yu didn't rest immediately. He walked to the simple workbench, took out the three blueprints he had obtained earlier, and chose to use them.
