Before 29527 could answer, he was out of luck. Sacred Flames of Baptism's 30% fire rate was cast three times in succession. Under the scorching heat of the spell, the man disappeared with a puzzled look on his face. As the white light flashed, a "bang" was heard. This was the signal for the other party to be sent to prison. Players who were killed by players who accepted 'Bounty Mission' would be sent directly to the system's prison and would not receive the death penalty.
Due to being a fugitive and being hunted down, it was akin to resisting arrest. Thus, the time spent in prison was different from the time spent in prison if one surrendered. Surrendering to prison would result in a 1 PK point loss every hour, which was faster than escaping from the wilderness. On the other hand, being hunted down by players and sent to prison would result in a 1 PK point loss every two hours. It was the same as escaping from the wilderness, but the loss of freedom was very pitiful.
In 29527's case, he would have 4 PK points and would be sent to prison for 8 hours. Not receiving the death penalty was the only consolation he could get.
Gu Fei heard the system prompt at this time: "Bounty Mission 29527 completed. Players may now head to the Bounty Mission Hall to receive their reward." Gu Fei heaved a sigh of relief. The man's puzzled expression made Gu Fei's hand tremble when he slashed the last time. He wondered if he had slashed the wrong person. Now that he had received the system prompt, he could finally relax.
Putting away Sacred Flames of Baptism, Gu Fei dusted his hands and walked toward the bar counter. He had just taken a sip of the liquor he had ordered, so he planned to finish it before going to receive his reward.
The people around 29527 stared at Gu Fei quizzically. Gu Fei smiled and nodded to everyone as he walked over to the bar counter, picked up his liquor, and took a sip. Looking back, he saw that everyone was still looking at him. Gu Fei muttered to himself, Was my action just now too cool? Thinking of this, he raised his glass to the crowd to show his courtesy.
"Bang!" A table was kicked over by someone. The players at the other tables seemed to have woken up from a dream. The astonishment on their faces turned into anger as they directed their anger at Gu Fei. The players at the other tables had a keen sense for PvP like the animals in Yueye City. Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, they all got up and prepared to leave the tavern.
"Hey, Master Kang. It's you! You're here too! "Gu Fei's sharp eyes spotted a person and immediately greeted him.
Master Kang's face turned ashen. He quickly said, "Who are you? I don't know you."
"Am I not that person?" Gu Fei said as he hurried over to Master Kang. Reaching his side in the blink of an eye, Gu Fei grabbed him by the shoulder, "Why are you still standing there like a fool? Run!"
"Big Brother, you've killed me." Master Kang cried as he ran out, but Gu Fei was faster than him and managed to get out of the door before he could.
"F * ck, that guy ran away!" The group of people in the tavern who were glaring angrily once again felt as if they had just woken up from a dream. They shouted and rushed out of the tavern.
Gu Fei had already run a few meters away, with Master Kang following behind him. Behind them, a group of people rushed out of the tavern. When they saw them, they shouted, "Over there, there are two of them. Don't let anyone escape."
Master Kang cried again when he heard this. He yelled at Gu Fei, "Why are you talking to me?! Pretend you didn't see me! "
Gu Fei was very apologetic. "Sorry about that. I was just trying to divert their attention."
"Who are they?" Gu Fei asked as he turned his head around. Those people were not fast enough to catch up to Gu Fei and Master Kang.
"They are from Past Deeds, the biggest guild in Yueye City. The guy you killed is called Silver Moon, and he is the guild leader of their guild …" Master Kang bitterly explained. He did not forget to grumble at the end, "Why did you slay him for no reason?!"
"I'm doing 'Bounty Mission' …" Gu Fei said.
"There are so many people doing 'Bounty Mission'. Why did you pick him up?!"
"He has 4 PK points, at most …" Gu Fei said.
"It's not your fault …" Master Kang sighed as he ran, "You can't see the bounty's name, and you're from another city, so you don't know who Silver Moon is. Why do you think he dared to sit there and drink with so many PK points? Isn't it because even if the others picked up the bounty and saw that it was him, they would have no choice but to leave? How much does' Bounty Mission 'earn? How can he survive in Yueye City if he offends Past Deeds? "
"Oh … I see …" Gu Fei felt relieved. No wonder that guy died so absent-mindedly. It was not that Gu Fei did not suspect that this was the reason, but he was brave enough to challenge the impossible.
"Let's take another ten thousand steps back. You can just slay me, but you should've just run away after that! You even dared to drink and greet me. How am I supposed to live if I die because of you?! "Master Kang cried again.
"It's fine. Follow me to Yunduan City in two days. Don't tell me they'll chase after us," Gu Fei said.
"Maybe …" Master Kang said.
"F * ck me. Is there a need for that?" Gu Fei was shocked.
"We can't understand the mindset of these PK maniacs. They only worry about not having an excuse to PK. Now that we've decided to chase after them for a thousand miles, they might find it cool," Master Kang said.
"Cool my * ss. We've already shaken them off," Gu Fei looked back and saw that the group was no longer there.
Master Kang was a Thief, while Gu Fei was an all-Agility Mage. Both had decent movement speed, and the group did not have such high Agility, so they were unable to catch up to the two.
"What do we do now? We might have already been surrounded," Master Kang said.
"I'll teach you. Won't they be unable to recognize you if you change your clothes and cover your face like this? "Gu Fei said as he covered his face and donned the Midnight Spirit Robe once more.
"Cover my face? Won't that be too conspicuous? "Master Kang said.
"Nope. A lot of Yueye City's players are covering their faces today," Gu Fei said. He did not mention that those masked players were after him. Gu Fei was puzzled. He had always kept a low profile, so why did he attract so many people to attack him? It was rare for him to kill a PK maniac for the sake of the people, but he ended up getting himself into so much trouble. Of course, compared to his PK value, he was merely a maniac.
Master Kang did the same as before and peeked around, "Alright. Let's quickly leave Yueye City and return to Yunduan City!"
"No way!" Gu Fei firmly rejected.
"Why?"
Gu Fei could only come clean, "I have PK value on me as well. I'll be annoying to death if I return to Yunduan City. I came to Yueye City to seek refuge. "
Master Kang's expression could not be seen due to his face being covered. All Gu Fei saw was the man taking a few steps back and blurting out, "So you're a PK maniac as well. Don't tell me you're Yunduan City's King of Killers?! "
"No way! I only have a little PK value, "Gu Fei lied against his conscience. He felt that Master Kang was a little too sensitive to PK. He reckoned that Master Kang must have suffered quite a bit in this regard, so he was obviously a little frightened now.
"If that's the case, I'll head to Yunduan City first. Is it alright after I pass through the Oolong Mountain Range?" Master Kang asked.
"Yes. Go ahead!" Gu Fei nodded.
"Be careful! Let's meet again in Yunduan City if we have the chance … "Master Kang spoke as if he would never see Gu Fei again. With that, he turned around and disappeared into the street.
"Stealth?! Why would he cover his face and change his outfit? He could have just felt his way out. That guy is really too careful. " Gu Fei thought to himself as he turned around and left. His destination was Fourth Night Street, where the Bounty Mission Assignment Hall was located. He had just caught a murderer and had yet to receive his reward!
As he briskly made his way to the Bounty Mission Assignment Hall, the players he met along the way gave him puzzled looks.
"I'm from The Black Hand mercenary group," Gu Fei explained to these puzzled players.
However, everyone was still baffled by his explanation. Nevertheless, Gu Fei had already spread quite a few theories about this along the way. He was even a little worried for The Black Hand mercenary group. He believed that The Black Hand mercenary group would become the first suspect if a Masked Man were to do something big in Yueye City in the future.
The Bounty Mission Assignment Hall was right in front of him. Gu Fei immediately shrunk back into the street the moment he peeked his head out. He saw a few familiar faces, seemingly the same ones he had seen in the tavern before. These people were squatting in front of the Bounty Mission Assignment Hall with murderous intent, fiddling with the weapons in their hands.
It seemed that they already knew that Gu Fei had slain their guild leader after accepting the 'Bounty Mission'. Furthermore, they knew that he would have to return to the Bounty Mission Hall to collect his reward, so they had decided to wait here for him. What Gu Fei could not understand was why they were not hiding inside the Bounty Mission Hall. Why were they standing outside with such obvious intentions? Could it be that the average IQ of Yueye City's players was low?
When their IQ was low, it was inevitable that they would prefer to use violence to solve problems. Animals, for example, were mostly like this. This was quite similar to the culture in Yueye City. If the average IQ of these players was low, Gu Fei felt that he would not arouse any suspicion even if he strutted into the Bounty Mission Hall.
With this thought in mind, Gu Fei walked out of the alley and headed toward the Bounty Mission Hall.
His masked face immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"I'm from The Black Hand mercenary group," Gu Fei said to the person staring at him.
"I'm from The Black Hand mercenary group," Gu Fei purposely said to the Past Deeds Guild member who was wielding the sword when he arrived at the entrance of the Bounty Mission Hall.
"Scram!" that person impatiently said to Gu Fei.
This was the first time in his life that he felt so happy after being scolded by someone. Gu Fei cheerfully entered the Bounty Mission Hall and collected his reward. The system notified him that his PK value had been reduced by 4 points. He then proceeded to pick up a new Bounty Mission Hall, but unfortunately, there was no such big shot as 29527 left. The rest of the Wanted Players only had a PK Value of 1. The surrounding Bounty Quest players all lamented. For a town where PvP was so prevalent, the PK Value was so conservative. Everyone felt that it was too shameful.
Gu Fei randomly picked one of them and walked to the back of the crowd. While no one was paying attention, he changed into his new mage robe and walked out of the Bounty Assignment Hall. He then faced the man with the sword and said, "I'm from The Black Hand mercenary group."
"F * CK!" that person jumped up with his sword in hand, "Are you guys done yet?!"
"I'm the one who killed your leader," Gu Fei said word by word as he suddenly turned around and fled.
"F * ck! That guy! Don't let him get away!" that person yelled.
