The system released a fixed number of missions every day, far more than the missions released when players needed help. As a mercenary group, if they wanted to make a name for themselves, they basically had to rely on farming. Every day, they accepted these missions from the system and repeated them. The higher the completion rate and completion rate, the higher their ranking would be. When players needed help, naturally, there would be more people coming to them.
But as a mission released by the system, especially one that could be repeated, it naturally couldn't get rid of the boring characteristic. No matter how novel the mission was, no one could find any joy in it after doing it dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times. This required perseverance and perseverance.
The young master of the Han Family showed extreme impatience with these boring things, so the mercenary group under his leadership simply ignored this way out. The young master of the Han Family's goal was to make a name for himself through trading with players.
This first step of development was very smooth. The mission to capture the boss of the Black Dragon Mountain Cave was rather difficult. The Young Master Elite Group that completed it was the talk of the Mercenary Guild and the tavern for a period of time. After that, the Purple Crystal of Rebirth came to them through this way.
However, the Unlaughing Mercenary Group handled the mission secretly. Although the mission was completed extremely well, they didn't gain any points this time.
After that, there weren't any commendable missions that could be taken out. After all, high difficulty missions also required good luck. Secondly, not everyone was willing or able to spend money to buy people to complete the mission.
Therefore, the development of the Young Master Elite Group stagnated. Perhaps the young master of the Han Family was too excited, but he didn't take the initiative to develop his business when there was no business coming to him. When the other mercenary group leaders were studying and choosing various missions in the Mercenary Guild, he basically drank in the Little Thunder Tavern. Therefore, the Young Master Elite Group eventually became one of the countless small mercenary groups.
Today, when the six of them gathered, the young master of the Han Family suddenly raised his voice and said, "It's time for the mercenary group to make a name for itself." Everyone thought he had a high fever.
Then, it was Brother You who explained in a deep voice, "The first event organized by the system is about to begin. The mercenary group competition and the guild competition."
In order to expand their influence, or in other words, to make the game more prosperous, ordinary game companies would often use holidays or anniversaries to organize activities that they didn't usually have. The record for the number of people online was often set on such days. What was even more attractive to players was that the game officials would put some good items that were not easily obtainable as rewards. This was the main reason why players paid attention to such events.
This time, the slogan of the parallel world was to celebrate its official operation. When the open beta was about to end, the game company had already started promoting this event. Everyone had heard about it, but the content of the event had been kept a secret. As for dragging it out for more than a month, it was nothing more than an extended promotional period. Other than that, it was to give the players who had just entered the game after the open beta a chance to level up.
Since leveling up required a lot of EXP, the gap between players was relatively close. Two players who were both Level 40 would only realize that the gap between them would require three days and nights to make up for it after they reported their experience points. Unfortunately, this difference in strength was not a direct reflection at all. It was only for his imagination.
The event hadn't been officially announced yet, but Brother You had received some news. Seeing that it involved mercenary groups and guilds, he immediately informed Young Master Han to gather people. Regardless of the final outcome of these events, basically all players would try their best to participate. As for experts like them, they were naturally full of ambition.
"If we win this event, we'll all be famous in the future!" Young Master Han gave a motivational speech. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate. This was because apart from him, who had just changed his ID, Sword Ghost, Brother You, Imperial Divine Ming, and Zhan Wushang were all players who could make a name for themselves with their names alone. As for Gu Fei, his ID of 27149 was enough to shock everyone. That was a name that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the current Five Roaches. That was the legendary hidden boss behind the scenes.
As expected, the five of them were indifferent to what the young masters of the Han Family said, "Every one of them is famous."
Young Master Han cleared his throat and spoke again, "What I mean is that we definitely have to participate in this event. Since we've received the news, everyone should prepare. Those who haven't done your class advancement yet, have you done your research? Qian Li, can you reach 40 in the next few days? "
"I don't think so," Gu Fei said. He was still a long way from 40 EXP!
"Who's done your class advancement?" Young Master Han asked.
The four of them shook their heads. These experts were all very astute. In any case, whether or not they changed their class would not affect their daily leveling. Before they had a clear understanding of the two options, no one made a rash decision. Everyone was waiting for the officials to reveal more information.
"Do as you see fit!" Young Master Han waved his hand. No matter how you looked at it, he was someone who was afraid of trouble and didn't want to say too much. In the end, he said, "This time, our opponents are mainly the other mercenary groups. Brother You will organize the information on the other large mercenary groups in Cloud Cloud City and we'll do our research then."
Everyone nodded.
"That's all." Young Master Han shrugged.
"I'm going to do my quest!" Imperial God Ming was the first to stand up. As for these words, he was asking for Gu Fei's opinion.
"Go, Student Imperial God," Gu Fei approved.
Then, the five of them stood up and left one by one. Only Young Master Han only walked out of the room, shouted "Wine" at Xiaolei, and then went back in to sit down.
After leaving the tavern, Wushang and Sword Ghost went their separate ways. Gu Fei received a message from Purple Crystal Rebirth. He was actually asked to attend a meeting. This was a once in a hundred years event. Gu Fei hadn't gone for a long time. He didn't even remember which door Purple Crystal Rebirth was at.
He walked over and realized that Brother You was going the same way. The two of them chatted as they walked. Gu Fei suddenly thought of something and asked Brother You, "Do you know Drifting?"
"Of course," Brother You said. "He's also an old player, an expert sorcerer."
"Is that so? Then who's stronger between him and Imperial God? "Gu Fei asked.
"This question has been debated ever since they became famous. There's no conclusion," Brother You said.
"Didn't you all say that Imperial God is the number one sorcerer?" Gu Fei was curious.
"Nonsense, the one sitting next to us is Imperial God. If you want to sit with Drifting, we'll immediately say that Drifting is the number one sorcerer," Brother You said.
Gu Fei laughed involuntarily. These guys were really hypocritical. Then he asked, "Then who do you think is stronger?" Brother You wasn't the best, but his theoretical knowledge was definitely top notch. Being a commentator was his forte.
"This … …" Brother You hesitated and said, "Don't tell Imperial God!"
Gu Fei smiled, "Okay, I already know the answer."
Brother You also smiled, "It's not that Imperial God isn't good. But as you can see, Yutian is a rather flamboyant fellow. Everyone knows how strong he is. If this kid discovers a trick or technique, he'll immediately announce it for others to learn and then pretend to be a god. Drifting is the type who keeps a low profile. Once he makes a move, you'll know how strong he is. Also, he doesn't like to share resources like Imperial God. If he discovers a trick, I think he'll hide it. That's why Imperial God's strength is obvious. Drifting is still hiding it. From this kind of scheming, I don't think Imperial God is as good as him. "
"Yeah, I think so too." Gu Fei nodded in agreement. Drifting did his best to hide his "Red Flames of Falling Clothes" skill.
"You know Drifting?" Brother You was surprised. The five of them knew that even though Gu Fei was strong, he was still a newbie.
Gu Fei nodded, "I've only known him for two days. He's in Cloud Cloud City right now."
"What's he doing here?" Brother You was surprised.
"I don't know." Gu Fei said.
Brother You muttered to himself.
Gu Fei asked again, "Do you know any of the Five Heroes or Five Roaches that people talk about?"
Brother You smiled, "The five Level 41 guys on the leaderboards? I don't know the Fighter called Hundred Years Strategist. I don't know if he changed his ID or not. The Archer called Water Depth and the Warrior called Southern Sword are both famous professional players. As for the Thief called Slender Waist Dance, she's a girl. She's known as the toughest pay-to-win player in history. I've never met this girl before, but I heard that her mechanics are quite good. But that's for sure. She spent all her time farming and doing business on leveling up. It would be strange if she wasn't good. But I think that if Sword Ghost hadn't been ambushed and dropped a level, he would've been one of the Five Roaches. "
"What a pity." Gu Fei felt pity for Sword Ghost. Sword Ghost's hard work in the game was unimaginable. His passion for the game was comparable to Gu Fei's passion for kungfu. In comparison, the Han Clan's Young Master was much more laid-back. It was unknown how these two people got together.
Little Thunder Tavern wasn't far from Rebirth Amethyst. It was rare that Brother You and Gu Fei walked in the same direction. In the time it took for the two to talk, the signboard of Rebirth Amethyst was already in front of them. Gu Fei pointed. "I'm here."
"Oh." Brother You patted him, smiled ambiguously, and continued walking forward.
Gu Fei pushed the door open and inhaled sharply.
He hadn't been here for a long time. The office of Rebirth Amethyst hadn't gotten bigger, but there were more people. Gu Fei glanced at the corner where he used to reside. It was now occupied by someone else.
He stood in front of the door in a daze. On the other hand, there were quite a few unfamiliar faces who were surprised to see Gu Fei. Ever since they joined Rebirth Amethyst, they had never seen a man in this room.
Just as they were feeling awkward, a girl came out and shouted at Gu Fei, "Hey, Thousand Miles!"
Gu Fei looked. Isn't that Little Yu? He hadn't seen her for a month, and she had changed. The heavy armor that covered 99% of her body was gone. What replaced it was a soft armor that was popular for female warriors. This armor looked delicate, but it was still considered a heavy armor. It was just that the game company had given in to the female players' love of beauty and had no choice but to make changes to the appearance. Looking at June Rain, the colors were mainly red and black. There wasn't any radiance, but it made her look valiant and heroic. She wasn't wearing a helmet. Her long hair fluttered in the wind as she walked toward Gu Fei. This was the legendary combination of strength and gentleness.
"Long time no see!" June Rain patted Gu Fei casually.
Gu Fei was still smiling at them! The slap hit him, and he immediately thought, "Oh no." This Little Yu was still so brainless. She didn't use enough strength …
He staggered a few times to the side. Gu Fei's heart was bleeding. He was actually sent flying by a girl's slap. This was ridiculous. But he had no other choice. As the characters in the game continued to add points, the strength and speed of the players in the game had begun to surpass normal humans. Someone like Little Yu who went all out was like Popeye who had eaten spinach. She could crush Gu Fei as easily as squashing a can.
Gu Fei was about to steady himself when someone beside him reached out to support him. He turned around and saw that it was Liu Xia.
"Are you okay?" Liu Xia smiled.
"I'm fine!" Gu Fei was depressed. He then asked, "Are you okay?"
Liu Xia knew what he was referring to and nodded.
As Gu Fei was sent flying, there was already someone yelling in a reproachful tone, "Little Yu!"
June Rain covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Ah, I forgot again." She hurried over to look at Gu Fei.
"Don't mind her. She's already sent a few people flying today." The one who spoke was July. She hadn't seen Gu Fei for more than a month.
"Mind what, Little Yu and I are brothers!" Gu Fei said.
"Ha, that's right!" Little Yu patted his shoulder again. Gu Fei wouldn't be careless this time. He moved his shoulder to the side and Little Yu's slap missed.
"I should be more careful!" Gu Fei wiped his sweat.
With a swoosh, a healing spell floated onto Gu Fei's body. Gu Fei didn't need to look to know who it was. As expected, Luoluo's voice sounded from the side, "You won't mind my healing spell this time, right?" Warriors who went all out without weapons had high attack power. Gu Fei's HP definitely dropped after receiving this slap.
Gu Fei was speechless. These girls came one by one. They really couldn't keep up with them.
"Let me introduce him to everyone." July clapped her hands. "This person is our guild's Thousand Miles Drunk."
The girls who didn't know Gu Fei had already found out his identity from the older members. However, since July officially introduced him, everyone still had to react. Some clapped, some screamed, and some whistled. Gu Fei, this guy who never appeared, was jokingly called the "mysterious man" by the girls. Now that he appeared in person, he was warmly teased. The atmosphere was lively.
At this time, Gu Fei's professionalism was displayed.
Just think about physical education class. The boys and girls had to be separated. The physical education teacher could be said to be the only teacher who had to face a group of girls alone. Gu Fei had experienced this kind of situation before. He nodded towards the girls casually. "Hello, students."
"Hahaha …" The girls followed Gu Fei's joke. They laughed and replied, "Hello, teacher."
This made them even more immersed in the role. Gu Fei smiled and nodded towards everyone again. The awkwardness disappeared on its own. Luoluo, who was watching at the side, was shocked. Usually, this guy would feel uncomfortable when she used her healing spell to touch him. Yet, he was so calm in such a big situation.
July glanced at everyone and smiled. "It's about time. Let me say something. The official event is about to start. The content is the mercenary competition and the guild competition. I heard that the rewards are quite generous. Our guild isn't big but it's okay to participate. You can register for the two competitions repeatedly. Our guild doesn't have a mercenary team. If you want to participate in the mercenary competition, we can form another one. "
The girls listened quietly. Only Little Rain was excited. She clenched her fists and said excitedly to Gu Fei, "Mission, mission!"
No wonder she came back suddenly. It was for this event. Times were changing. This girl was still so infatuated with missions. Gu Fei smiled as he took two steps back. That slap was painful enough. If she suddenly punched him, wouldn't his intestines be pierced through?
July's speech continued. "Everyone, try to level up as much as you can. The event will last for a few more days."
It seemed like Qiyue had some connections. She could actually receive the news that Brother You could receive.
"Then, who wants to participate in the mercenary competition? Come and register. We will form a mercenary team too, "July said.
In essence, the competition was a PK competition. There weren't many girls who were interested in PVP. It was enough for them to experience the liveliness of their guilds. As for participating in the Mercenary Confrontation again … The enthusiasm of the girls was obviously not high. Other than Lie Lie who was the first to jump out and claim to be the leader, the others were hesitating.
"Qian Li, are you participating?" July asked.
"I have a mercenary team," Gu Fei said.
"Oh!" July didn't say anything. This was a very common phenomenon. Not all guilds had their own mercenary team. For example, they didn't have Amethyst Rebirth. It was understandable for guild members to join other mercenary teams.
Lie Lie made a fuss for a long time and finally got some girls to join his team. Gu Fei smiled disapprovingly. He thought that these girls had no chance of winning against the Sword Ghoul and the other veterans with their immature skills. Apart from seduction, there seemed to be no other way to win.
Thinking of this, Gu Fei suddenly realized that if they met with Gongzi's elite team, they would lose Imperial Shenming and Zhan Wushang.
As for the other three. Ugh, although they weren't as radical as Imperial Shenming and Zhan Wushang, who knew a person's face?
Gu Fei remembered that Sword Ghost was quite excited when he first met Xi Xiaotian.
Just as he was thinking, Gu Fei received another message. He opened it and saw that it was Coward's Savior. He was shouting, "Master, I found you!"
"Where?" Gu Fei asked.
The two arranged a meeting place. Gu Fei saw that the girls in the room were starting to leave, so he said goodbye to a few familiar people and left.
He arranged to meet Coward's Savior at the fountain in the center of the city.
When Gu Fei arrived, Coward's Savior had been waiting for a long time. As soon as he saw Gu Fei coming over, he immediately got into a Mantis Fist stance, his body swaying back and forth as he babbled.
Gu Fei went up and hooked his leg. Coward's Savior took half a step back and didn't change his stance. He actually dodged the hook.
"Not bad!" Gu Fei praised. Coward's half step back was completely in line with the Seven Star Steps. Of course, Gu Fei's hook was just a casual test. Otherwise, wouldn't Coward's one month of training be equivalent to twenty years of training? That kind of Coward's Savior should be the lead actor.
Receiving Gu Fei's praise, Coward's Savior became even more pleased and continued to get into a stance.
"Alright, alright. Keep it!" Gu Fei said. Mantis Fist's style was very unique and easily attracted onlookers. Especially in a bustling area like the center of the city.
"How's Moonlit Night City?" Gu Fei greeted Coward's Savior.
Coward's Savior shook his head, "It's still the same. Originally, everyone thought that after defeating the Former Dust, their days would be better. But now, their Ten Guild Alliance has more people than the Former Dust and they're bullying us. "
"Ten Guild Alliance? Which guild? "Gu Fei asked.
"Oh, it's an alliance of ten guilds. Because there aren't any guilds high enough to accommodate that many people, they can't merge for the time being. "Coward's Savior said.
Gu Fei sucked in a breath of cold air. In the past, there was at least one Former Dust guild that was tyrannical. Now that there was a Ten Guild Alliance, Moonlit Night City really wasn't a safe place.
"There are a lot fewer players in Moonlit Night City now." Coward's Savior said, "They're all running to other main cities."
