Ye Ci thought to herself. Fighting against an opponent like Fleeting Time was a very exhausting and exhausting task. The two had only been fighting for two minutes, but both of them seemed to have used up all of their energy and stamina. Fleeting Time was panting slightly, but Ye Ci was at a disadvantage as a woman. Not only was she panting, but she could not even lift her arms.
But even so, Ye Ci had no intention of letting go of the opportunity to exchange blows with her opponent.
Right now, the two of them were too close to each other. They were already less than eight feet apart. A Hunter would not be able to use a bow or crossbow within this range. Melee weapons were the only weapons available to Fleeting Time. Ye Ci wanted to retreat, but she did not have the ability to leap backwards. She was unable to retreat 20 feet away from Fleeting Time. She had no choice but to retreat by herself.
But to her surprise, Fleeting Time was able to catch up to her.
In Fate, advancing was always faster than retreating. Fleeting Time was able to keep up with Ye Ci no matter how fast she retreated. "What are you doing?" Ye Ci furrowed her eyebrows.
Fleeting Time smiled at Ye Ci's furrowed eyebrows. Truth be told, Gongzi You's face was not the beautiful type. In fact, it was a little cold. However, when she was angry, her face gave off an intimidating aura. For some reason, Fleeting Time loved to see Gongzi You's angry face. It was much more interesting than her expressionless face.
"Aiya, it's boring to shoot arrows at such a distance. Why don't we engage in melee combat?" Fleeting Time suggested when he saw Ye Ci's expression.
He knew that Gongzi You would be angry at his suggestion. After all, she was not the type to do something so boring.
And as expected, Gongzi You was angry. She raised an eyebrow, and her eyes were filled with anger, "Are you sick in the head, Fleeting Time? Why are you choosing to engage in melee combat instead of what you're good at? "
"Isn't this fun?" Fleeting Time seemed to have anticipated Ye Ci's outburst. He did not seem to be bothered by it. Instead, he unsheathed his dagger and stabbed it mercilessly at Ye Ci.
Ye Ci instinctively dodged the attack, but felt a gust of cold air brushing past her cheek. She immediately drew her dagger and met the incoming attack head-on.
"Ding!" The sound of weapons clashing against each other reverberated through the sandstorm, piercing the eardrum like a needle. Fleeting Time did not hold back just because his opponent was Ye Ci. Instead, he gave it his all, and so did Ye Ci. The two weapons collided, causing a strong vibration. Ye Ci only felt the web between her thumb and forefinger go numb.
In Fate, the stat points obtained by a player after leveling up would be automatically distributed by the system according to the class that the player had chosen. In other words, two players of the same class and level would have the same basic stat points. In order to determine the strength of a player, one would have to rely on one's hard work. In other words, it would depend on equipment and mechanics …
And the gap between Ye Ci and Fleeting Time was very small. The two of them were of the same class, and their levels were about the same. As for equipment sets, while they were not of the same series, their levels were about the same. If there was a gap between them, then there were only two reasons. One was their gender, and the other was their equipment and accessories.
In terms of gender, a female character's explosive power was not as strong as a male character's, but a male character's stamina was not as strong as a female character's. Therefore, if they were to really compare, there was nothing to lose. However, in a melee combat where strength was the deciding factor, it was hard to tell who was the victor.
The two men's short swords clashed against each other as they exerted their strength back and forth. For a moment, they actually stuck together and did not move an inch. Ye Ci narrowed her eyes. She was not going to let the battle come to a standstill. She used "Trip" on Fleeting Time in an attempt to throw him to the ground.
However, Fleeting Time was able to dodge the attack with ease. At the same time, he was able to retract the force he had exerted on his dagger, allowing Ye Ci to use the momentum to stab at his vitals.
Fleeting Time used Flicker again in an attempt to dodge Ye Ci's dagger. But this time, there was a slight miscalculation. Not only did he fail to evade Ye Ci's dagger, but Ye Ci's dagger had pierced right into his heart.
It was a close call. He had almost been struck in a vital spot.
But even that was enough to make Fleeting Time's expression change. He was confident that no one, not even Gongzi You, would be able to see through his trick. That was why he dared to use it in front of Gongzi You. However, not only did she see through his trick, she even managed to predict his next move.
If he had dodged just a little bit slower, he was afraid that his heart would have been stabbed by her sword. According to his current level, a fatal attack would not take his life, but it would still reduce his HP by more than half.
Did Gongzi You see through my Flicker? Or was it just a coincidence?
Fleeting Time could not get rid of the question. And so, he decided to test it out one more time.
He raised his hand and swung his dagger. It was a simple move, but only those who were familiar with it knew how powerful it was. Like Flicker and Feint, Flicker was a skill that was derived from the instincts of the body. It may seem like an ordinary move, but it had a myriad of variations.
A dagger was different from a sword, and it was different from a two-handed sword or a longsword. Even though Fate was a game set in a western world, there were still many details in the game that were heavily influenced by the eastern designers. Many of the details in the game had a strong Chinese flavor. For example, the western world did not pay much attention to how a weapon should be used to its fullest potential, unlike China, where martial arts were the essence of the game.
Sabers and two-handed swords, because of their large size and heavier weight, could unleash greater lethality in actual combat by brandishing them. Swords, on the other hand, had sharp edges on both sides, and were lighter than swords. Thrusting was the best way to bring out the full potential of a sword in actual combat.
Daggers were even more so.
In fact, the distinction between daggers and short swords in traditional Chinese weapons was not very clear. In the era of cold weapons in China, daggers were just short swords.
But in Fate, based on the players' understanding of weapons, the developers had made a clear distinction between daggers and short swords.
But there was one thing that remained the same. Be it daggers or short swords, they were still similar to longswords in terms of their attacks. Stabbing was the main method of attack. Stabbing did not mean that other methods of attack could not be used. It only meant that stabbing was the best way to deal the most damage.
But if one wanted to swing or slash, it was up to one's heart to do so.
However, in a battle between experts, there naturally wouldn't be any mistakes caused by random attacks. After all, for an expert, every attack represented a hope of victory.
The move that Fleeting Time had just used might seem like a swing, but if one were to dodge the attack in the same manner as a swing, one would definitely fall for it. This was because the swing had quickly turned into a stab. If one were to dodge the attack in the same manner as a swing, one would definitely be hit. And if one were to lose control of one's body, the stab might even hit a vital point.
This move, Flicker and Feint came from the same source. It was called Feint Stab. It was also based on the change of the flicker. Fleeting Time's attack was fast and vicious, but it was still a test. He wanted to know if Ye Ci knew about Flicker, and if she did, how much did she know about it?
Fleeting Time was just testing the waters, and it was just a test.
But in Ye Ci's eyes, that was not the case at all. In Ye Ci's eyes, Fleeting Time was using his excellent physique to bring out the full potential of his attacks. Would she give in? No, no, no, no, no, no. If she did, she would not be Ye Ci.
Ye Ci had always been a person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievances. And when Ye Ci liked to seek revenge for the smallest grievances, she would do the exact same thing to those who did to her. Fleeting Time's Feint Stab was a perfect example of this. She was able to dodge the attack with her Flicker, and the dagger only grazed her chest.
A lvl60 Hunter equipment set was not made of leather, but of metal. While it was not as strong as a Warrior's plate armor, it was still much stronger than leather armor. Fleeting Time's weapon was definitely not a weak weapon. For someone who pursued higher levels of attack power, he would never allow his equipment to be inferior, and he would never allow his weapon to be lacking in sharpness.
Similarly, Ye Ci's equipment set was not to be trifled with either. That was why when Fleeting Time's dagger grazed Ye Ci's chest armor, sparks and screeches could be heard.
Flicker!
Fleeting Time's eyes lit up.
He did not expect Gongzi You to be able to use Flicker, nor did he expect Gongzi You to be able to evade his Feint Stab, nor did he expect Gongzi You to be able to use Flicker to evade his attack. Fleeting Time stared at Ye Ci's every move. He was afraid that he would miss her movements if he blinked, which would cause him to be unable to accurately determine her current state.
Her movements were smooth, and she was very familiar with the skill. It seems that she has been learning Flicker for a long time. Fleeting Time was suddenly overjoyed. It was the joy of being chased by an opponent. He stared at Ye Ci's calm and ambitious face. He suddenly wanted to know just how strong Gongzi You really is.
Fleeting Time's mind wandered.
In a battle between top-tier players, victory and defeat could be decided in the blink of an eye.
Fleeting Time's dagger grazed Ye Ci's chest armor, but it was headed straight for Ye Ci's face. Ye Ci was not afraid of being disfigured in the game, but it would still be unsightly to have a dagger aimed directly at her weak spot. She immediately bent over and dodged the attack. She did not stop her legs from kicking at Fleeting Time's chest.
Fleeting Time felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his body was about to fall backwards. But before he could do so, he subconsciously grabbed onto Ye Ci's ankle.
"Ah!" Ye Ci did not expect Fleeting Time to use such a move. She would lose her balance if her ankle was grabbed. Ye Ci could not help but let out a scream to express her feelings.
But Ye Ci could not do anything even if she wanted to. Fleeting Time's sudden tug caused Ye Ci to lose control of her body. She was dragged to the ground by Fleeting Time, and Fleeting Time was sent sprawling on the ground.
The sky was so blue that it was as if water was dripping out of it. Fleeting Time looked up at the clear blue sky. He was panting heavily, but he was in a good mood. The corners of his lips betrayed his good mood.
He was different from Fleeting Time and Ye Ci. Returning Winds was one of the spectators on the platform.
Of course, he was not the only spectator. He was crippled, but he couldn't die. He just couldn't move. He could only wait until the battle was over to return to the city and go to the hospital for treatment. The other corpses had quietly gotten up when the two of them were fighting. It did not take long for them to reach Returning Winds.
"Where's Fleeting Time? Where's Fleeting Time? " Glistening Moonlight was the slowest Mage in the party. She had an unwavering conviction in her heart and was the first to reach Returning Winds. She covered her eyes with her hand and looked around the basin. Glistening Moonlight was the first to reach Returning Winds. She covered her eyes with her hand and looked around the basin.
"Moonlight, you're too fast!" WidefullyTheScenery followed behind Beauty's Grave and quickly caught up to Returning Winds. He was panting heavily and looked very tired. When he saw Returning Winds's HP dropping, he hurriedly healed him so that he would at least have full HP. "What's wrong? Are you crippled? "
"Yup." Returning Winds pointed at the two players fighting in the middle of the basin, "I was clearly aiming for Fleeting Time, but for some reason, he was able to dodge my attack. And then …" He shrugged his shoulders and spoke in a self-deprecating tone, "By the time I realized what had happened, I was already a crippled spectator."
"So Gongzi You killed four of their members?" Beauty's Grave was more concerned about the outcome of the battle. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Returning Winds was still alive.
"Yup." "If Fleeting Time is unable to kill Gongzi You, then we'll win this round," said Returning Winds as he fixed his gaze on the two players who were engaged in a chaotic battle in the basin.
Beauty's Grave and WidefullyTheScenery finally paid attention to the two fighting in the basin after hearing Returning Winds' words.
"Wow, they're so fast." That was WidefullyTheScenery's first sentence. As a Cleric, he was used to seeing all sorts of attack speeds, but he was still shocked by the speed at which Fleeting Time and Gongzi You were fighting.
"It's better to watch the battle in person than to watch it in the video." Beauty's Grave sighed. Even though he was not a Hunter, and had never done any research on the Hunter class, he could not deny that a battle between two top-tier players like Fleeting Time and Fleeting Time was indeed thrilling. He asked Returning Winds as he watched, "Are all Hunters able to run and jump so quickly? How did I discover that the two of them could walk directly on the mountain wall? Isn't Fate a 100% simulation? Isn't it a BUG that allows them to escape gravity? "
Different professions are worlds apart.
Returning Winds rolled his eyes after hearing Beauty's Grave's question. Even though he was a Rogue, Rogue, Hunter, and Ranger were all subclasses of the same system, so he had a better understanding of the Hunter class. "Actually, every Hunter can run and jump as fast as this, but to be able to do it for such a long time, it takes a long time of training and practice. Otherwise, it's easy to get tired or fall down. As for why they're able to walk on the walls … "Returning Winds let out a long sigh," It's because of their balance. Hunters are naturally more balanced than other classes. If you can train your balance properly, you'll be able to use inertia and balance to run on the walls. But … "
"But what?" Beauty's Grave was listening intently. When Returning Winds stopped talking, he hurriedly asked.
"However, in order to support your body to run quickly on the mountain wall, you must first be very fast. Secondly, you must have a good grasp of inertia. Lastly, you must have a high balance. None of these three points can be missing." Returning Winds immediately poured cold water on Beauty's Grave, "As a Warrior, don't even think about it. Your Agility is too low. Even a Rogue with high Agility like me can't do it. Don't even think about it."
"Sigh, what a bummer. I thought I could do it too. This is what it means to leap onto roofs and vault over walls." Beauty's Mound was filled with regret.
"Eh? Why are they attacking in melee? Aren't Hunters supposed to be weak in melee? " Glistening Moonlight couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw the two of them attacking each other back and forth. However, she soon lost interest in this question because to her, gossip was the most important thing. Her pair of eyes lit up like little light bulbs, and the corner of her mouth carried an excited smile. "I smell a kind of adultery!"
These words immediately made the other three men speechless. They actually didn't quite understand what Glistening Moonlight was thinking, so they quickly ignored Glistening Moonlight's words and actions and continued to watch the duel between the two people.
Although Glistening Moonlight didn't get everyone's attention, she was having a lot of fun. She pulled out the screenshot system, zoomed in on the camera, and started taking screenshots of the two of them mercilessly. Screenshots were not enough. She even turned on the video recording system and began recording the duel.
Glistening Moonlight screamed in excitement when Fleeting Time grabbed Ye Ci's ankle, and the two fell onto the sand. Her face was flushed red, and she gasped for air. Those who did not know what was going on might have thought that she was doing something shameful.
"That was so exciting! Fleeting Time, why don't you push Gongzi You down? Ah, Gongzi You can do the same to Fleeting Time!" Glistening Moonlight was screaming and jumping on the platform, but she was too far away from the two people at the bottom of the basin, so the only people who could hear her were the three men with black lines on their foreheads and the video system that had been recording the whole time.
Unlike the spectators on the platform, Ye Ci and Fleeting Time were panting heavily on the sand.
It had only been a few minutes, but the two felt as if they had just gone through an eight-year battle.
"14 seconds left. Do you still want to continue?" Fleeting Time took a look at the time when the match ended, and smiled at Ye Ci who was lying on the other side of the bed.
"Like I said before, I'll kill you this time." Ye Ci's throat was so dry that it felt like smoke was rising from it. She gulped, but her throat was even drier.
"Yup." Fleeting Time nodded with a smile, "I remember you saying, 'You bitch, I'll kill you until you're level 0'. Are we going to do it today?"
Ye Ci's lips twitched when she saw the smile on Fleeting Time's face. For some reason, Ye Ci felt as if she had lost the ability to speak whenever she met Fleeting Time. This guy seemed to have a natural talent for infuriating people to death. Just like now, he actually brought up the words she said in anger, making her really not know how to continue the conversation.
Fleeting Time shrugged when Ye Ci remained silent, "Alright. I'd love to see you kill me until I'm level 0, but we don't have enough time." He looked at the time until the match ended. There were only a few seconds left. Then, he smiled. "Why don't the two of us open a 1v1 room? We can fight however we want. "
Fight however we want? It was undeniably tempting, but Ye Ci quickly gave up on the idea. She felt that she had been too lax lately. Her chances of winning were slim if she were to fight Fleeting Time now. She was so tired that she wanted to find a place to rest.
"Agree? Or ignore me? " Fleeting Time turned around and smiled at Ye Ci. He was in a good mood, and he did not care if Ye Ci agreed to his duel. All he wanted was to see her angry face.
Ye Ci lifted her head and glared at Fleeting Time, "Hey, do you know that you're very annoying?"
"I know, I know. Aren't you talking about it?" Fleeting Time nodded.
"You …" Ye Ci was displeased by Fleeting Time's cooperation. She glared at Fleeting Time's smiling face, but she was not in a good mood. She looked down and saw that Fleeting Time was still holding onto her ankle. She kicked his hand away and stood up angrily.
The system announced the end of the duel as soon as she stood up, and Ye Ci's party emerged victorious. Ye Ci was about to leave the party when she heard Fleeting Time's voice, "Little Gongzi!"
What kind of a name is that?
Gongzi! Gongzi! Gongzi!
Ye Ci was not the only one whose mouth was twitching. She turned around and glared at Fleeting Time, "I'm Gongzi You! Not Little Gongzi! "
"Ah, I know, Little Gongzi. We've known each other for a long time. Please don't fight whenever we see each other, okay? " Fleeting Time stood up and patted the dust off his clothes. He smiled at Ye Ci, and her anger did not affect him in the slightest.
"When it comes to people from opposing continents, other than fighting and killing, do you want me to drink with you?" Ye Ci sneered with her arms crossed in front of her chest. She raised her eyebrows in disdain at Fleeting Time's idiotic question.
Fleeting Time nodded and walked up to Ye Ci with a seductive smile on his face, "Ah, that's a good suggestion."
"A suggestion?" Ye Ci raised her eyebrows even higher. Since when did Fleeting Time ever hear of a suggestion from me?
"Alright, it's decided then." Fleeting Time snapped his fingers and bowed at Ye Ci with a bright smile. His warm breath brushed against Ye Ci's cold face, and Ye Ci felt a little weak. "Let's fight the next time we meet. If I defeat you, I'll treat you to a drink."
What kind of stupid decision is that? But Ye Ci did not react to Fleeting Time's words. She was more concerned about … "What do you mean by 'defeat me'? I'm telling you, Fleeting Time. You're going to die by my hands! "
Fleeting Time sighed and nodded. He patted Ye Ci's head as if he was patting Little Five's head. Of course, Ye Ci whipped him with her dagger, and he immediately let go of his hand. He raised an eyebrow at Ye Ci, "Alright. Since you're so insistent, try your best to defeat me the next time we meet. Then, you'll have a drink with me."
"I'm going to defeat you anyway!" Ye Ci was infuriated by Fleeting Time's nonchalant reply. How can this guy be so nonchalant about something so important?
"Alright, alright. You'll defeat me." Fleeting Time narrowed his eyes, and a seductive smile appeared on his face. He turned around and walked away while waving at Ye Ci, "Then it's a deal. Little Gongzi, drink with me!"
Ye Ci suddenly realized that her anger was directed in the wrong direction when she saw Fleeting Time's waving hand. She seemed to have neglected the most important thing ….
That's right! What did Fleeting Time say? Drink with him? Drink your sister's wine!
Ye Ci felt as if she was going to have a brain hemorrhage. Fleeting Time's warm breath lingered on her face, and his cheerful words still lingered in her ears. She was so angry that she trembled as she stared at Fleeting Time's back, "Fleeting Time! You bastard! You're a bitch from head to toe!!! "
"Bye bye, Little Gongzi!" Fleeting Time was in a good mood. He did not mind what Gongzi You had to say. He waved goodbye to Ye Ci.
It was time for them to leave the arena.
As expected, a white light flashed before Ye Ci's eyes, and she was greeted by the sight of the crowded arena. She stood rooted to the ground, and she felt as if there was a rock in her chest. This is so frustrating! This is so frustrating!
Ye Ci had never encountered such a situation before.
She would have minced anyone else into pieces if they were in her shoes. But it just so happened that her opponent was Fleeting Time. She could not do anything about it. Was there anything more frustrating than this in the world?
Gongzi You was not in the arena for a beauty pageant. Of course, she was here to fight in the PVP arena. After witnessing the excitement of the battle, many of the players began to realize that they would be invincible if they could team up with Gongzi You.
And so, many people gathered around Ye Ci and asked, "Gongzi You, do you want to form a party with us? We're short of a DPS player!"
"Gongzi, join our party! Our party's average skill is very high! You'll definitely break the weekly record!"
"Gongzi You, join our party! We've already won 23 matches in a row!"
… …
These people surrounded Ye Ci like birds chirping non-stop, and Ye Ci, who was already fuming, became even more furious. Ye Ci raised her head and looked at the people around her. Her face was dark, but she tried her best to maintain her composure and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm not fighting anymore."
With that, she ignored the people around her and left the arena.
She left the people behind her in a flurry of discussion.
"Wow, did you guys see that? Gongzi You's face was dark! Was it because she lost the last match?"
"That can't be. A party with her in it shouldn't lose, right?"
"Who knows? It doesn't really matter if she won or lost. Could it be that she had an argument with the previous party? "
"Why don't we just ask the World Channel?"
… …
Sure enough, these people did what they said they would do, swift and decisive. Ye Ci had only taken a few steps out of the arena when a commotion broke out in the World Channel.
"I just saw Gongzi You leave the arena with a dark face. I just want to know if Gongzi You lost! Otherwise, why would her face be so dark? "
"Which city's arena is Gongzi You in right now?"
"Red Lake City! So many people saw it … "
"How could she lose! Gongzi You was in our party just now, and she won beautifully! Don't spout nonsense if you don't know anything! "
"Wow wow wow, someone involved is speaking up! Please tell us the truth! Did Gongzi You quarrel with someone? "
"No, don't spout nonsense. Gongzi You's temper is very good."
… …
Everyone was talking at the same time. There were so many people in this world. There were people calling for Instance Dungeons, people selling items, and people gossiping. The rate at which people were spamming was extremely fast.
"What's with the dark face? We were killed by her the moment we entered the arena. We haven't even said anything yet! Why are you guys from the Eastern Continent shouting?" Just as the Eastern Continent players were in the midst of a heated discussion, a Western Continent player suddenly spoke up. His tone was filled with anger and resentment.
"Someone revealed something! Please tell us! "
Since someone had pointed out the problem and someone had answered the question, the spectators from the four continents would naturally not let go of this opportunity. For a moment, there were those who wanted to gossip, those who wanted to reveal the truth, and those who wanted to buy peanuts, melon seeds, cola, and soft drinks.
The Western Continent players in the World Channel quickly revealed that they were in the same party as Fleeting Time. When these words came out, it became even more incredible. Even though 99.9% of the population did not know the relationship between Fleeting Time and Ye Ci, the scandalous conversations between Fleeting Time and Ye Ci during the Western Continent's invasion of the Eastern Continent had spread like wildfire across the entire world. Coupled with the short conversation between the two, the relationship between the two was even more mysterious.
And it was because of this that the spectators and the gossiping players began to make wild guesses when they heard about the battle between Fleeting Time and Gongzi You, and how Gongzi You walked out of the arena with a dark face.
As the saying goes, the world is exciting because of you.
And today, the World of Fate was filled with excitement because of Gongzi You and Fleeting Time.
This time, Fleeting Time did not speak up in the World Channel, and Ye Ci did not speak up in the World Channel as well. The reason was simple. The two were not paying attention to the World Channel.
Of course, that did not mean that no one was paying attention to the World Channel.
Absalom caught hold of Fleeting Time, who had just returned to the guild encampment, and narrowed his eyes, "You look like you're in a good mood."
Fleeting Time chuckled, "Very good, very good."
"I saw the discussions in the World Channel."
"World Channel?" Fleeting Time was confused, "What are they talking about?"
"Did you go to the arena just now?"
"Yes."
"Did you lose?"
"Yup."
"Did you run into Gongzi You?"
"Huh? How did you know about that? " Fleeting Time stared at Absalom in confusion. He felt that Absalom was becoming more and more gossipy.
"How would I know? The entire World Channel is screaming about it! " Absalom chuckled, "Judging from your bad habits towards Gongzi You, did you flirt with him again?"
Fleeting Time narrowed his eyes at Absalom. The more he looked at Absalom, the more annoyed he was.
"I guessed right … Argh!" Absalom was still grinning from ear to ear when Fleeting Time landed a punch on his nose, and his vision was immediately blinded by a golden light.
"I've warned you not to have any thoughts about the woman I've taken a fancy to, or I'll make sure your face turns red." Fleeting Time smirked, "This time it's in the game. Next time, it'll be in real life." If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
