Even though Gu Fei did not have a good understanding of MMOs, the only person who would not be able to comprehend what was going on in such a crowded place was Xiaoyu.
These people were just trying to take advantage of Gu Fei's ignorance to take advantage of him. Frankly speaking, it was not an exaggeration to say that they were trying to scam him.
Everyone's expression turned ugly when Xi Xiaotian pointed it out.
They soon realized that Gu Fei was not being ignorant by squatting there. Perhaps, he was just pretending to be dumb. Everyone did not feel good after being treated as a joke for so long.
Some of them left in embarrassment, but there was still a portion of them who glared at Gu Fei.
In such a realistic MMO, many people's EQ plummeted. After all, the feelings of awkwardness and humiliation in this world were just as intense as in real life, yet they did not have the constraints that existed in real life due to objective reasons.
If I don't like you, I can hit you; if I don't like you, I can beat you up …
MMOs were such an unreasonable world at times.
Through the use of VR technology, this unreasonable world became lively, yet the rules of this world did not change at all.
Combat was the most important, and strength reigned supreme. This was the main theme of MMOs.
The concept of strength was very broad. It could be an individual's strength, a guild's strength … or a certain force that appeared at a certain time and place.
November 21st, 13: 45 PM. Yunduan City's Yunduan City's Yunduan Avenue, which was known as the Peddler's Street by players, had a powerful group appear.
In other words, it was a group of people who believed that they had the strength. This was because strength was relative. This group of people clearly believed that they had the strength to face off against the opponent they were about to face.
The opponent in their eyes, the squatting Gu Fei, had already stood up.
Most of them realized that they could not achieve their goal of scamming Xiaobai, so they left in embarrassment. However, there was a small portion of them who felt that they had been scammed for failing to achieve their goal, so they wanted to stay behind and reason with Gu Fei.
Gu Fei was helpless. Just like any other main character, he righteously asked, "What are you guys trying to do?"
They glared at him. No one said a word. This group of people who had coincidentally formed because they shared the same mindset had only exchanged glances and had yet to choose a spokesperson.
"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving," Gu Fei said.
"Wait!" Someone finally spoke. Everyone spread out in all directions, blocking off all possible exits for Gu Fei.
The same mentality, the same intention, could instantly create tacit cooperation.
Gu Fei stared at these people calmly. It seemed that they wanted to attack. Unfortunately, using violence to curb violence was precisely Gu Fei's hobby. Ever since he was young, his father had taken advantage of the fact that they were from a martial arts family and liked to beat him up like this. However, he also forbade him from casually fighting with others outside. Gu Fei had always thought that he would not get this chance before he raised his son. Thank you to MMOs, to Parallel World, and to the great author Blue Butterfly for making Gu Fei's dreams come true.
The two faced each other. Gu Fei hooked his finger at Xi Xiaotian.
"What are you doing?" Xi Xiaotian asked.
"What are the rules for PvP? Explain them to me," Gu Fei said.
The crowd was in an uproar.
He was too naive and too arrogant. Everyone thought.
Xi Xiaotian was also stunned. For a moment, she did not know where to start. After a long while, she slowly said, "Kill a person, PK points increase by 1."
"Of course!" Gu Fei rolled his eyes at her. "Do you think I don't know that? What I mean is, how do I not get PK points? " From what Fleeting Smile had said that day, it was apparent that killing people would not give PK points. Gu Fei remembered to look it up at that time, but he forgot about it afterward and did not go online to find out.
"Counterattacking after being attacked won't give you PK points. Killing people with PK points won't give you PK points," Xi Xiaotian said.
"Killing people with PK points won't give you PK points?" Gu Fei was confused. He did not believe that one of the two people he had killed with his Descending Wheel of Flames in Yueye City would not have PK points.
"That's for people without PK points. Exceptions are made for people with PK points," Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei was relieved. He gripped his sword tightly and turned to face the surrounding crowd, "Come on!"
Everyone was stunned. For a moment, no one made a move. You want to kill us, but you don't want to give us PK points, right? We can't make the first move. Everyone thought.
At that moment, the crowd had mistaken the active party and the passive party, thinking that Gu Fei was the one surrounding them and was ready to vent his anger on them.
Gu Fei felt rather regretful that the other party did not respond after waiting for a long time. Honestly speaking, he loved fighting and PK, but he could not be an unreasonable person. Thus, he could only hope that someone would find him an eyesore. Thinking of this, Gu Fei could not help but miss the PK atmosphere in Yueye City. He missed The Black Hand mercenary group, who still wanted to rob him for no reason. How were they doing now?
Gu Fei was melancholy. He began to feel melancholy just three hours after leaving Yueye City.
"Let's just disperse if we don't want to fight!" Gu Fei sincerely sighed.
His regret and calmness undoubtedly increased the other party's suspicion. Of course, a small group formed at the last minute had its shortcomings. The most obvious was the lack of mutual trust and understanding between the members. Gu Fei was someone with a top-grade weapon, so he had no confidence in defeating anyone in a duel. He would need to rely on the strength of others. It was inevitable that they would think, "I'm fine, but I wonder how strong the others are?"
Everyone looked around hesitantly and thought to themselves, "I'm afraid that idiot won't make it. That look in his eyes shows that he wants to rely on others."
In this way, everyone felt that they were strong, but the others were not. Thus, they could only give up and secretly rejoice that they had not acted rashly.
Unknowingly, the number of people surrounding Gu Fei began to dwindle. Everyone came in arrogantly and left quietly. Not long after, Gu Fei was left alone in the cold.
"How depressing!" Gu Fei said gloomily. With just a few words and a sigh, he had scared off the enemy. Could it be that he was too active and too conspicuous?
"Don't worry," Xi Xiaotian said, "There's still a chance to fight."
"Are you talking about those guys over there?" Gu Fei swept his gaze over to a corner of Peddlers' Street.
"You noticed them?" Xi Xiaotian was surprised.
"I saw them a long time ago," Gu Fei said.
"Then what are you worried about?" Xi Xiaotian asked.
"Those guys can only be considered as pre-arranged. We could have fought two rounds, but now we're missing one. What a pity! "Gu Fei said unwillingly.
"Violent Flying!" Xi Xiaotian sighed.
Gu Fei squatted down again and asked expectantly, "Why aren't they coming over yet?"
"They won't come over that easily," Xi Xiaotian said.
"Oh? You seem to know them, "Gu Fei said.
"There's a bunch of people in Yunduan City who have their eyes on someone's top-grade equipment. They'll look for an opportunity to kill that person and loot that equipment. I think they've got their eyes on you," Xi Xiaotian said.
"Is that so?" Gu Fei swept his gaze over to them again. The people who had gathered together before had already dispersed, leaving only one person setting up a stall as if nothing had happened. The others were nowhere to be found.
"They won't make a move easily, and they won't give up easily either. They won't stop until you drop that sword in your hand," Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei understood the importance of keeping a low profile and not revealing one's wealth. At the same time, he also realized the benefits of having top-grade equipment: It could tempt people with evil intentions to provoke him, and he could use this opportunity to punish evil and uphold world peace … In short, he had a fight to fight!
"They've dispersed for now, leaving one person behind to keep an eye on you. He'll find a chance to make a move on you in the middle of the night when you're alone again, "Xi Xiaotian said. "He'll kill you today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. He'll kill you until he gets that sword in your hand."
Gu Fei nodded before asking, "Are you in cahoots with them?"
"F * ck you!" Xi Xiaotian anxiously said.
Gu Fei was dumbfounded.
"Don't go on and on! I'm not as bad as you think I am, "Xi Xiaotian said angrily.
Gu Fei's expression was a little unnatural. After a while, he said, "Then why are you covering your face here?"
"To sell items!" Xi Xiaotian slammed the ground.
"Must you cover your face when selling items?" Gu Fei asked.
"Do you want to know why I cover my face?" Xi Xiaotian said. She immediately pulled off the veil on her face and shouted, "I'm selling equipment. It's cheap. Come take a look if you want!"
The clear and melodious female voice caused everyone to involuntarily look in her direction. Several people's eyes immediately lit up. One of them had already taken a big stride forward, bent down, and played with the junk on Xi Xiaotian's stall one by one. He immediately said, "Not bad, I want all of them. Beauty, name your price!"
"10 gold coins," Xi Xiaotian said expressionlessly.
"No problem!" That person directly wrapped up the cloth on the ground and wrapped all of Xi Xiaotian's items into it. He then counted out the gold coins and generously handed them over. The eyes of the surrounding players flashed with envy.
"Babe, I've bought everything. Since you have nothing to do, why don't we go have a drink or two?" The person who bought the items did not leave and continued to waste time here.
"F * ck off. Scram!" Xi Xiaotian almost spat on the person's face.
The crowd was in an uproar.
The junk on Xi Xiaotian's stall was just normal goods. Adding them all together, they were only worth 10 gold coins. However, these few items covered several job classes. In theory, no one would buy them all at once. Now that such a situation had occurred, it was obvious that he had an ulterior motive.
10 gold coins was definitely not a small sum for a commoner. Spending this much money just to strike up a conversation with someone could be considered a big investment. It could be seen that this person was also a commoner with over 10,000 gold coins. Everyone was envious of this person's luck with women and did not want to play a good show. The lady in front of them was extremely bold and unrestrained. Not only did she not want to go on a date with the person after selling her items, she even directly scolded the person.
Only Gu Fei sighed inwardly. Xi Xiaotian was clearly venting her anger toward him on this person. Could it be that he had really wronged her this time? Was she just obediently selling trash here? Gu Fei was at a loss.
But no matter what, this buyer's anger was constantly rising. It was clear that no matter how enchanting this lady was, no one would be able to tolerate her acting like this for no reason.
"F * ck!" This big brother in front of him had wasted 10 gold coins, almost got spat on his face, and was even laughed at by the crowd. Of course, he would not restrain himself. Raising his hand, he tossed the bag of equipment he had just bought onto Xi Xiaotian. Following that, he took out a huge axe that was even bigger than Xiaoyu's. Straightening his back, he circulated his qi through his dantian and bent his legs slightly. Holding the axe in his right hand, his body was at a 45 degree angle with the ground.
Gu Fei, who had plenty of combat experience, immediately knew what this pose was. He quickly blocked the axe with one hand and grabbed Xi Xiaotian with the other.
The Whirlwind Slash arrived as scheduled. This Warrior's combat experience was not low. Experienced Warriors would always ensure that they had a certain amount of Rage to activate their skills. Cyclone was not only the Warrior's highest attack skill, but it was also their life-saving skill. It was much better than the Warrior's defensive skill, Entrenched.
Blocking Cyclone was already a skill that Gu Fei was very familiar with. Now, he could even maintain a graceful posture when he was sent flying. But this time, something unexpected happened. His Whirlwind Slash was blocked, and he was sent flying, but he was sent flying in a very sloppy manner.
This was because Gu Fei's Strength was too low for him to pull Xi Xiaotian along with him. Instead, he was dragged down by Xi Xiaotian and was unable to fly.
In the end, he managed to borrow Strength and was sent flying, but he was unable to fly. The two were like groundhogs, sliding across the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Gu Fei was still alright. At least he was standing. Although the momentum was fast, Gu Fei's Agility was not low, so he was able to keep up with the momentum.
Xi Xiaotian, on the other hand, was in trouble. Caught off guard, she was dragged to the ground the moment she was sent flying. She was practically gliding the entire way. What was even more pitiful was that the equipment that the Warrior had thrown at her was still hanging on her Thief's Cloak, clinking loudly as they traveled.
Because he was dragging someone along, it affected Gu Fei's performance. He did not control the direction of his Strength properly and was sent flying, crashing into a wall. Gu Fei's back hurt, and he felt as if his bones were about to fall apart. Lowering his head, he saw Xi Xiaotian flying toward him like a missile. Her head was about to hit the wall in the blink of an eye.
Gu Fei quickly extended his leg and stepped on her, changing the direction of his Strength. Xi Xiaotian rolled and came to a stop.
"Sorry!" Gu Fei said.
"Bro, come down quickly!" someone suddenly answered from below.
Gu Fei lowered his head and quickly dodged to the side. I'm still stepping on someone! Considering how the two sides of the street were filled with players who had set up their stalls, Gu Fei charged right in their direction. That person wanted to dodge when he saw that the situation was not looking good, but his legs were numb from sitting cross-legged for the entire day, so he rolled and crawled, lowering his height and ultimately ending up under Gu Fei's foot.
"Sorry, sorry!" Gu Fei hurriedly apologized again.
That person rolled on the ground and looked up at the sky. He sighed, "Don't worry."
Looking at Xi Xiaotian, she stammered as she got up from the ground. After a while, she said, "I'd rather be hacked to death!"
The crowd was in an uproar again.
No one would have thought that the two would actually survive.
Everyone saw Gu Fei block the attack with his sword, but no one saw the moment when his sword struck. In their eyes, the two were sent flying by Cyclone. Even if they were not dead, they should not be too far from death. They should not be like the two now, who were clearly alive despite their sorry state.
That Warrior had already stopped his Cyclone, but he had no intention of letting it go. He strode toward Xi Xiaotian.
Gu Fei looked at her and asked, "My PK value won't increase if I kill him now, right?"
Xi Xiaotian was stunned. She could only nod her head. She also did not know what had happened when that Cyclone was used. Looking at her HP, she knew that Gu Fei had dodged the attack by grabbing her.
Others might not be able to appraise Gu Fei's job class, but she already knew that he was a Mage. Mages were currently the job class that countered Warriors, so it should not be too difficult to kill a Warrior one-on-one. But no matter what, Mages should not use the word 'slash', which made Xi Xiaotian confused.
Just as Gu Fei was about to take a step forward, three men suddenly appeared and stood between Xi Xiaotian and the Warrior. Gu Fei glanced at them and saw that one of them, who had asked Xi Xiaotian for a price, was among them.
"Friend, this might be a misunderstanding. Don't be in a hurry to act," one of them said.
"F * ck you. Scram!" That Warrior repeated Xi Xiaotian's words. He raised his axe and activated the skill Charge. The person who had spoken was immediately knocked back several steps. Even after he stabilized himself, he was still in a daze, unable to move.
The two men on the left and right saw that they could not be reasoned with and quickly stepped forward. The Warrior on the left wielded a one-handed sword and activated the skill Charge as well. The Thief on the right wielded his dagger, attempting to circle behind the Warrior and use Backstab.
The Charge hit the Warrior. However, the additional effect of Charge, 'Stun', did not have a 100% success rate. It was related to the skill's proficiency, the opponent's level, and equipment. Although the skill hit, it did not cause Stun.
The Warrior with the huge axe was exceptionally brave. He ignored the Warrior who had just used Charge and turned to hack at the Thief who was trying to circle behind him. At the same time, he moved his feet to guard against the Thief's movement. Both sides exchanged blows like this, but the two men were clearly weaker. In the blink of an eye, the Warrior with the huge axe took control of the situation and forced the two men to retreat.
Gu Fei shook his head as he watched the weapons of both sides clash and tangle.
How was this a battle? This was more like a fight between children! Using a tree branch or bamboo pole as a godly weapon, they swung the pole and hit each other here and there, but they did not hit the other party. In the end, the person whose pole broke first would be the loser. Gu Fei remembered that his neighbor's child had an epiphany after watching the TV series' The Condor Heroes'. This was how he practiced the Quanzhen Sword Style vs the Jade Maiden Sword Style. It was very similar to the scene in front of him.
Gu Fei watched anxiously, but the two men who were no match for the opponent were even more anxious. They turned to Xi Xiaotian and shouted, "Big Sis Xiaotian, quickly leave."
Xi Xiaotian shouted back, "I'm coming!" She reached into her dimensional pocket and actually wanted to help out. Gu Fei had already stepped forward and held her back, "Let me do it!"
Xi Xiaotian looked at him. Gu Fei smiled at her, "You're quite popular," Gu Fei said as he turned to the two men and shouted, "You two get out of the way. I'll fight him one on one!"
The two men had probably been waiting for this moment for a long time. They did not care who the person behind them was and quickly found an opportunity to retreat to the side. Gu Fei coughed and took a few steps forward to stand in front of the Warrior.
The Warrior steadied himself as well. He was currently in a killing mood and had beaten the three men to a pulp. This was precisely the moment when his confidence was inflated. However, when he saw the black glow of Moonlit Nightfalls in Gu Fei's hand, he could not help but feel his heart skip a beat. The three men from before were clearly inferior to him in terms of level and equipment, which was why he could bully them all. In the end, this guy actually had a top-grade weapon in his hand. This was something he had not noticed before.
The Warrior calmed down and hurriedly used Appraisal on Gu Fei, but he was unable to find anything.
Using his naked eye to appraise Gu Fei, he was once again at a loss.
He had never seen a black robe before, and it seemed to be a mage's robe. However, the weapon in his hand was a sword. Those who would use swords as weapons were mostly Warriors, followed by Knights.
Weapons were clearly the most distinguishing aspect of job classes. The Warrior had already determined that Gu Fei was of the same race as him. Just as he was about to take another step forward, he suddenly saw Gu Fei stuff his sword back into his dimensional pocket and pull it out empty-handed.
Unarmed?
A Fighter?
The Warrior was once again at a loss. Even a Fighter would wear gloves to increase his or her Attack Power, yet Gu Fei was evidently not wearing any of them.
Let's try this move first! The Warrior thought to himself as he suddenly stepped forward and smashed down with a Heavy Blow.
Gu Fei's figure flickered as he appeared beside the Warrior. He waved his right hand, "Twin Incineration! Incinerate!"
A burst of flames appeared, and the Warrior instantly turned red. He was shocked, "F * ck! He's actually a Mage!"
Mages countered Warriors. This was a fact that everyone knew at this point. The Warrior had long identified that the three people blocking his way were not Mages and had low levels, which was why he had the guts to fight one against three.
Now that he had encountered a job class that he could not identify and countered him, his arrogance was immediately reduced by half.
Gu Fei did not take out his weapon at this moment because he was concerned about the Warrior. The Warrior had fought one against three, and his rough fighting style would surely have reduced his HP by quite a bit. Gu Fei was afraid that he would use Moonlit Nightfalls or Sacred Flames of Baptism to end the Warrior's life if he took out his weapon. Gu Fei actually did not want to PK the Warrior in front of him.
He believed that his weak Spell Damage would not be much of a threat if he used his bare hands.
The Warrior's HP continued to decrease after being hit by Twin Incineration, but when he realized that the damage was not high, he perked up and waved the huge axe in his hand like a windmill.
However, Mages countered Warriors because they had an advantage in speed over Warriors. They could increase the distance between them, and their Spell Damage ignored the high Physical Defense of Warriors, giving them the upper hand.
If this was the case for normal Mages, what more Gu Fei, who was an all-Agility Mage?
Easily increasing the distance between them, Gu Fei threw out Fireballs as if they were hidden weapons. Although the damage was not high, it still slowly reduced the Warrior's HP.
If this continued, the Warrior would not have any chance of winning no matter how long the battle dragged on.
Gu Fei saw the disheartened look in the Warrior's eyes and immediately took a few steps back, "Bro, there was a misunderstanding just now."
This time, the Warrior did not hurl insults at him. He calmly stood there and listened to Gu Fei speak.
With strength came the right to speak. This saying was absolutely true in MMOs.
Xi Xiaotian walked over at this time, "Yes, it's my fault. I've been in a bad mood these past few days and couldn't control my temper, so I randomly scolded people. Sorry for the offense. "
"These items are still yours. I'll return you the money as my apology." Xi Xiaotian tidied up the equipment hanging on her body, packed a new bag, took out ten gold coins, and handed it over to the Warrior.
The Warrior was stunned for a moment before reaching out to take the money, "Return me the money, but I don't want the items."
"Take it, take it!" Xi Xiaotian implored, trying to stuff it into the Warrior's hand. The Warrior was at a loss. She had just said "F * ck off, scram", and now she was forcefully tugging at his hand. The change was too great.
"Forget it! Who cares about your junk?! "Gu Fei said from behind.
"F * ck off, it's all your fault." Xi Xiaotian turned around and threw the bag of equipment at Gu Fei.
Gu Fei was embarrassed. He shrugged at the Warrior and helplessly said, "Look, women, there are always a few days every month …"
Everyone suddenly understood and looked at Xi Xiaotian together. Gu Fei stood at the side with a natural expression.
In the distance, a person in a corner quietly sent a message, "That guy is a Mage!"
