In the blink of an eye, another day had passed. Gu Fei contacted Sword Ghost and the others as soon as he got online to show his concern.
In the Maple Leaf Tavern, Gu Fei saw the Sword Ghoul and Lu Ke. The two of them were slumped over the table. When Gu Fei came over to greet them, the two of them only raised their eyelids slightly. There were dark circles around their eyes, as if Lu Ke had put on makeup.
"Coming!" the Sword Ghost said weakly.
"You two are going to die!" It was undeniable that Gu Fei was a bit direct, but he couldn't think of any other possibilities.
"I haven't slept all day. I just came back from the leveling area. I'm really going to die," Lu Ke said.
"What are you busy with?" Gu Fei asked.
"What are you busy with? Farming stuff, boss! This kind of work should be done by mages! "Lu Ke used her remaining strength to shout at Gu Fei.
"I can't … I'm very restrained in the game. I played too late last night!" Gu Fei said innocently. Lu Ke was so angry that she wanted to kick him. As for what the two of them were farming, there was no need to ask.
"Did you get it?" Gu Fei wanted to know the result.
The two of them nodded solemnly.
Last night, after asking around and seeking confirmation, Brother You finally returned to the game with a certain piece of news. Seeing that Gu Fei wasn't there, he told Sword Ghost the news. The Black Memory Box skill scroll was randomly dropped by Level 50 humanoid monsters.
Then, everyone split up. Xi Xiaotian went to the market to see if he could buy it, while Sword Ghost followed Lu Ke to the Level 50 leveling area in Forest Shade City.
Xi Xiaotian went to the market with nothing, but Sword Ghost and Lu Ke had it even harder. Level 50 monsters were almost ten levels higher than them. With Sword Ghost's level, it was usually efficient for him to level five or so, but it was a bit difficult for him to level ten. Now that Lu Ke was in the party, it wasn't much of a party. They still had to work hard.
Later, a few members of the elite group heard the news and came to help, treating it as leveling.
The situation naturally changed with the top masters working together to farm the monsters. However, the broken environment of Forest Shade City really limited their performance. Otherwise, why would so many players migrate and leave the place full of lurkers?
The overnight leveling was barely getting by. What was even more tragic was that the sun had risen high, and the legendary Black Memory Box was only something that existed in their memories.
I go offline when the sun rises. This is the lifestyle of the experts. However, the Sword Ghost still couldn't fall asleep even after he logged off. This matter was too much of an emotional one, and it would always be on his mind if he didn't resolve it. With that, he struggled to get up and get back into the game. It was also early morning in the game. Under the warm sunshine, Sword Ghost saw Lu Ke looking at him with a tired smile.
"I knew you'd come back," Lu Ke said.
"You're the same." The Sword Ghost smiled. In times of difficulty, he found that he had a companion by his side. This kind of feeling was always very blissful.
"Let's go!"
The two of them returned to the land where they had been farming monsters. Without the help of the experts, the two of them were once again cautious and strenuous. They kept grinding until the few of them went back online and rejoined the party. The sun was about to set, and even Gu Fei had entered the game. Finally, a small monster happily threw out a "Black Memory Box" scroll. The two of them felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders. At that moment, they wanted to lie on the ground.
The other guys had enough sleep, and after completing their mission, they immediately went to do their own things. Sword Ghost and Lu Ke were so tired that they felt like they were dreaming when they walked to the tavern.
"Little Tian, give this to her when she comes." Lu Ke solemnly handed a magic scroll to Gu Fei.
"She's not here?" Gu Fei opened his friend list and looked. Indeed, she was not there.
"I'll leave it to you." With that, the two of them struggled to get up from the bench. Lu Ke failed halfway and hurriedly called the Sword Ghost, "Help me up, I feel like my legs are not mine anymore."
"You're exaggerating," Gu Fei muttered. He saw the two of them supporting each other as they walked out of the door.
"I really need to sleep. I'll come back when I wake up." The Sword Ghost patted Gu Fei as he walked past him.
"When will that be?" Gu Fei hurriedly asked. When the two of them woke up, he wouldn't be online anymore, right? If it was just two or three hours of sleep, he could reluctantly accept it. When they came online again, it would probably be the start of the operation, and Gu Fei didn't want to miss the show.
"Oh, right, you haven't heard of the plan yet." Lu Ke seemed to have remembered something, but quickly waved her hand. "Ask Little Tian when you give it to her. We'll leave first."
The two of them left just like that. Gu Fei held the magic scroll and thought about a very important question: If Xi Xiaotian didn't come online, when would he go? This scroll really shouldn't have been handed to him … Thinking of this, Gu Fei didn't chase after the two of them who were too tired to support themselves anymore. He turned to the mailbox and prepared to mail the scroll to Xi Xiaotian. Although he didn't want to miss the show, it was more important to not delay the actual business than to be a spectator …
Six o 'clock in the morning.
Three figures appeared stealthily on a street in the Shady Forest City. This was the time of the day when the number of people in the game was relatively low. The overnight cats and the working gamers would leave early and arrive late, causing a slight gap in the game. At this moment, the street was quiet, and the muddy footprints that were usually on the street had been refreshed by the system.
The three of them walked from the east end of the street to the west, and then from the west end to the east end. After observing for a while, one of them pointed to a roof on the side. In a flash, one of them appeared on the roof, and the other gradually disappeared into thin air.
Teleportation, Stealth.
The two of them were, of course, Gu Fei and the Sword Ghoul. Last night, when Gu Fei was on the way to mail the magic scroll to Xi Xiaotian, she came online and immediately learned of their plan. In the end, he finally decided to follow their schedule. That night, Gu Fei didn't play the game anymore and went offline early to rest. In exchange for waking up early, he appeared on this secluded street at this time of the day.
"Hey!" Gu Fei, who was on the roof, popped his head out. "Are you sure he'll leave from here? There won't be any accidents, right?"
"I'm not sure. This is the shortest way to the offline area. If he doesn't want to go offline immediately, of course he won't leave from here," the person who was still on the street answered Gu Fei and Lu Ke.
"Then will he definitely come before seven?" Gu Fei asked again.
"Hey hey, of course we can't be sure. That's why we came here early at six," Lu Ke said. According to the usual habits of the all-nighters, they usually went offline around seven in the morning. Just in case, Lu Ke and the others started to make arrangements at six in the morning.
"I hope he'll come earlier," Gu Fei mumbled as he retracted his head and lay on the roof to reduce his target.
"Call me when he's here," Gu Fei shouted.
"Okay!" The Sword Ghoul, who had already disappeared into thin air, replied.
"Then you two wait here. I'll go get ready," Lu Ke said and left the street.
Lying flat was the best Gu Fei could do. After dealing with people like Gu Fei, the Sword Ghoul knew that stealth wasn't reliable at all. Seeing a large pile of gunny sacks outside a door, he immediately hid there and only poked his head out from time to time to observe the movement on the street.
Xi Xiaotian's plan was far more complicated than they thought. It wasn't as simple as her acting skills to find Broken Water Arrow as soon as she got the scroll. Gu Fei originally thought that this part of the work had nothing to do with him. He wanted to see the scene where she went to find Water Depth after she got the video. This was a complete misunderstanding of priorities. Obviously, the key point was how to get information from Broken Water Arrow.
Trust. The first thing to do was, of course, to win Broken Water Arrow's trust.
Broken Water Arrow certainly wouldn't reveal his secret plan to a stranger who was on guard against him. Therefore, he had to eliminate his guard before he could take advantage of it.
This was originally a very tricky problem, but the assassination of Broken Water Arrow by the Sword Ghoul and Gu Fei happened to provide an opportunity. At this time, Broken Water Arrow naturally understood that the Sword Ghoul wasn't going to consider Water Depth's idea and was determined to kill him to the end. After the first time, there would be a second time, and this second time would become a part of Xi Xiaotian's play.
The assassination of Gu Fei and the Sword Ghoul was just an act. Xi Xiaotian would save Broken Water Arrow at the critical moment.
"Brilliant, too brilliant!!! This way, getting close to Broken Water Arrow will be a piece of cake! " Xi Xiaotian's method of pushing the boat with the current had turned Sword Ghoul's first attempt to kill Broken Water Arrow into the first part of the operation, which drew praise from Imperial Shenming and Zhan Wushang. These two guys had already lost their ground when they saw that it was a beauty.
"It's not that simple." Xi Xiaotian said, "After all, I'll talk to him about business later, and he'll immediately understand that I didn't save him by chance. However, since he's already received my kindness, his heart will always soften a little. This way, he'll have a chance to knock down his guard. There's still a lot to do, but I'll do it! You guys just need to put on a good show. "
There wasn't enough manpower to put on such a show, so Imperial Shenming and Zhan Wushang were dragged in to play the role of rescuers with Xi Xiaotian. After all, the strength of Gu Fei and the Sword Ghoul, who were playing the role of assassins, was obvious to all. It would be too much if any random character could defeat the two of them.
At the same time, everyone was also thinking, with Gu Fei's strength, if he had two more helpers, wouldn't his defeat be too fake? In the end, it was Gu Fei who patted his chest and guaranteed that he would lose flawlessly. This was actually a technique, and Gu Fei was no stranger to it. Usually, when he sparred with others, especially with his elders, he would often use this method. The worst method was, of course, to let the opponent win, which was more painful than directly defeating the opponent. The best method was to let the opponent know, but the audience didn't. In the eyes of the audience, it was a draw, but the people involved in the game had a clear idea of the outcome. Gu Fei had already reached the highest level of mastery, and could even deceive his opponent, causing them to be complacent and unaware that Gu Fei had secretly let the opponent win.
