The axe-wielding warrior took his ten gold coins and left. Since there was nothing else to see, the players naturally dispersed as well. The three young heroes who wanted to play the hero and save the damsel in distress accepted Xi Xiaotian's consolation.
Gu Fei wanted to sneak away, but Xi Xiaotian saw through him and shouted, "Stop right there!"
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. You guys chat," Gu Fei hurriedly said.
"There's something else!" Xi Xiaotian said.
"What else?" Gu Fei smiled.
Xi Xiaotian looked at him without saying anything.
Gu Fei sighed. "Very well! I was wrong today. I'm sorry! " Deep down, Gu Fei was unwilling to apologize because he still felt that Xi Xiaotian was squatting on the trading street selling junk was a fact that he couldn't accept. Unfortunately, he didn't have any clear evidence. Gu Fei felt this way mainly because his intuition told him that Xi Xiaotian's passion for deception was no less than his passion for martial arts.
Hearing Gu Fei's apology, Xi Xiaotian smiled, "You're right. I did have an ulterior motive."
"Damn it! I knew it! "Gu Fei shouted in his heart, but his expression didn't change," What are you trying to do? "
Xi Xiaotian glanced to the side. Gu Fei followed her gaze and saw the guy squatting in the corner, looking over from time to time.
"What's wrong?" Gu Fei was confused.
Xi Xiaotian turned around and persuaded the three heroes to leave. She then pulled Gu Fei back to the corner, "These people have a lot of good stuff."
"Have you been paying attention to them for a long time?" Gu Fei asked.
"It's been a while," Xi Xiaotian said, "I noticed them at the auction house and the trading street. Usually, they would look for players who had just bought exquisite equipment and then make a move on them. I've seen them attack players with exquisite equipment three times with my own eyes. "
"That's too much," Gu Fei said.
Xi Xiaotian nodded. "I have a feeling that this group of people isn't just a random bunch of people. They should be from the same studio, or a family guild. "
Seeing the confusion on Gu Fei's face, Xi Xiaotian explained further, "When players enter the parallel world, they are randomly assigned a main city, and the teleportation between the world map and the main city hasn't been opened yet. When these gaming studios and clan guilds enter the game, they naturally can't gather in one place, so there will be some of their forces in each main city. For now, they can only go their own way, and for the time being, they won't use the banners of their gaming studios or clan guilds. "
"Studio? A clan guild? "In fact, this was where Gu Fei was at a loss.
"Don't tell me you don't know what this is?" Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei smiled awkwardly, "I've heard a little about it, but I don't know much about it."
"Then I'll put it simply. The studio exists for profit. If it's a player's equipment, they'll try to sell it as soon as possible. If it's a clan guild, it's likely that they're trying to strengthen themselves. They'll probably keep the top-tier equipment for themselves, "Xi Xiaotian said.
"Then what kind of people are they?" Gu Fei asked.
"I think it should be a family guild. The goal of a gaming studio is to make money, and they care more about the environment and order of the game than any other player. A big gaming studio with strict discipline wouldn't do something like this. Only a few short-sighted small gaming studios would do something like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. However, these small gaming studios are limited in scale, and since the main city is randomly assigned, it'll be very difficult for them to establish themselves in any of the main cities, "Xi Xiaotian said.
"You're right." Gu Fei nodded.
"I've already asked for information from the players who had their equipment dropped, hoping to find out who these guys are through their equipment. However, the equipment that they dropped seemed to have evaporated into thin air. They didn't appear in the auction house, the trading house, or in the hands of the players in the leveling areas, "Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei understood, "So you ran to the trading street to see if they'd appear here?"
Xi Xiaotian nodded, "The chances of them appearing here aren't high. But other than that, I can't think of any other clues. "
Gu Fei smiled, "You forgot something."
"What?" Xi Xiaotian asked.
"The mailbox," Gu Fei said.
"Oh!!" Xi Xiaotian hit his head in realization.
"Since these people are from a large organization like you're talking about, they must have a presence in every main city. They're probably using this method to strengthen themselves in the main cities as well. However, these people are quite cautious. They didn't even use the equipment they dropped in their main cities. They must've used the mailbox to exchange for it. So, you definitely won't be able to see the equipment dropped in Cloud City, "Gu Fei analyzed.
"Yes! That must be it. "Xi Xiaotian patted Gu Fei on the shoulder," Not bad. "
Gu Fei smiled. In reality, he didn't have such a deep understanding of the details of the game. It was just that he had just written a letter in Moonlit Night City and heard that Non-smiler had sent the "Wind Whisper" to Cloud Morning. These were all things that had happened in the past two days. It was very easy for them to become the key to Gu Fei's thinking.
"If that's the case, it'll be very difficult to find these people," Xi Xiaotian sighed. It was too easy to hide one's identity in the parallel world. If you didn't say your name, no one would know. You could cover your face with a piece of cloth. You could also prepare a few sets of equipment to change back and forth. Gu Fei had always done this.
"So, we need someone with good equipment as bait. That way, we can lure these people out." Gu Fei said, "What a coincidence. I've already been targeted by them!"
"I never thought of that." Xi Xiaotian was stunned. "Even if we lure them out, it'll be useless! You'll still not know who they are even if you get killed and your equipment dropped. "
"Just don't die so easily." Gu Fei laughed.
Xi Xiaotian rolled his eyes, "Did I not make myself clear? They're a group of players who drop good equipment every day. They don't need to prove their strength, do they? Not to mention, they should have some good equipment now. "
"Then why did you stop me?" Gu Fei was stunned.
Xi Xiaotian was also stunned, "I just wanted to tell you the real reason why I'm here."
"That simple?" Gu Fei asked.
"That simple." Xi Xiaotian nodded.
Just as Gu Fei was about to say something, a system notification popped up. Seeing that it was from Prince Han, he opened it and read: Sword Ghost has been killed.
Gu Fei was startled and immediately asked, "Where?"
"I was leveling in the leveling area. I just received the message." Prince Han said, "I'm waiting for you at the Little Thunder Tavern."
Gu Fei ignored Prince Han and immediately sent a message to Sword Ghost, "You're in the revival area? Don't go out yet! "
"Why?" Sword Ghost asked.
"Don't go out while you're in the revival area." Gu Fei said.
Sword Ghost only replied with one word, "Okay!"
Gu Fei looked at Xi Xiaotian, "I have a friend who seems to have been targeted by these guys."
"What happened?"
"He was just killed in the leveling area. Right, you know him. Frost Memories, do you remember? "Gu Fei said.
"Of course …" Xi Xiaotian said calmly.
"That's him. I'm going over now." Gu Fei stood up.
"Wait! Don't forget that you're being targeted too. "Xi Xiaotian said.
"That's right!" Gu Fei said as he walked straight towards the guy who was following him.
"Hey!" Gu Fei shouted as he arrived in front of the guy.
The guy raised his head and was surprised to see Gu Fei. But he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile, "What do you want?"
Gu Fei smiled, "Robbery."
"What?" The guy was startled. Gu Fei had already taken his hand out of his pocket. The Dark Moonlight Sword appeared in his hand and he stabbed forward.
The guy reacted quickly and dodged to the side. But Gu Fei was even faster. He bent down and chased after the guy.
"Dual Flame Flash, flash!" Gu Fei shouted and the Dark Moonlight Sword slashed out a fire dragon, brushing past the guy's body and disappearing along with his incredulous gaze.
Gu Fei wasn't in the mood to deal with him and directly used a spell to kill him.
Gu Fei squatted down and carefully packed up the stall that the guy left behind. He shook it a bit and held it in his hand.
When he stood up, the surroundings were silent. All the players looked at Gu Fei in fear. Many people had already hurriedly put away their stalls. Even more people had already pulled out their weapons and exchanged glances with each other, preparing to face a common enemy.
Gu Fei smiled, "It's a personal grudge. Don't worry about me. Continue with your business."
He turned around and walked out of the street under everyone's gazes. When he passed by Xi Xiaotian's stall, he flicked his finger, "This looks pretty good. I'll give it to you!"
Xi Xiaotian took it and looked at it. It was a crystal emblem. Its stats were extremely trash, but it did have a very beautiful design. Xi Xiaotian curled his lips, "You robbers are the most annoying. You don't have any skill at all."
Gu Fei smiled and quickly left the trading street.
The street was still as quiet as before. When Gu Fei disappeared, everyone's gaze fell on Xi Xiaotian.
