Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Gongzi You
"So, Sister Death Blossom, are you saying that we should give up on assassinating Gongzi You?" A short Human Rogue stared at Death Blossom with furrowed brows. She had a nice name — Honey Barbie. If you thought that she was as harmless as her name suggested, then you would be sorely mistaken. Honey Barbie might look like a little loli, but she was the backbone of Golden Age's assassination team. She was quick, accurate, and ruthless when it came to her targets.
"No, that's impossible." Death Blossom shook her head. She had leveled up to lvl 22 under the guidance of many high leveled players, but she was still a far cry from Gongzi You. Death Blossom wanted to wait until she was as strong as Gongzi You before making her move. However, that was not in line with the guild's goals. They were currently testing the strength of the four continents to determine which continent Golden Era would strike first. That was why Death Blossom chose to follow the guild's orders without hesitation even though she felt that it was a pity that she had to go against the guild's orders.
Death Blossom's eyes were fixed on Gongzi You. She had used all her connections to obtain all the videos of Gongzi You. However, Gongzi You kept a low profile, and there were very few videos of him in the forums. Even dungeon videos were scarce. Death Blossom could not accurately judge Gongzi You's strength. She had met many strong opponents over the years, but all of them had fallen under her blade. Gongzi You was her next target.
"Sister Death Blossom, you seem to be interested in Gongzi You." Honey Barbie had been with Death Blossom for a long time, and knew her well. She could read a lot of information from Death Blossom's gaze.
Death Blossom turned around and looked at Honey Barbie with a smile, "I'm interested for the time being, but whether or not this interest will last depends on the outcome of the battle."
Honey Barbie nodded, then turned to March Spring, "Spring, you're the first to join the game, and you've always been a player of the Eastern Continent. What do you know about Gongzi You?"
March Spring was an average-looking young man. His face was the perfect fit for a Rogue. He did not have any distinguishing features, and even if he did, he would not leave a deep impression on others. One had to be careful when dealing with someone like him, or one could easily be stabbed in the back. March Spring stared at Gongzi You for a long time before he spoke, "He's an incredible Hunter."
Honey Barbie pricked up her ears, but March Spring did not say anything else. Honey Barbie frowned, "Spring Spring, you've crossed the line. Are you going to let this go just like that? Can't you at least say something useful? "
"I've never met Gongzi You in person." March Spring sighed at Honey Barbie's frown, "There are two to three hundred million people in the Eastern Continent. It's impossible for me to have met a single person. Gongzi You, on the other hand, is a very low-key person. She may have done a lot of high-profile things in the past, but it doesn't go against her personality. Her whereabouts are always a mystery. Even her guild members don't know where she is at all times, let alone me. That's why I can't make a direct judgment about her. The only thing I know about her is from other players who have interacted with her. In conclusion, she's an incredible player. "
"That's as good as not saying anything." Honey Barbie snorted, dissatisfied with March Spring's answer.
However, Death Blossom did not share the same opinion. She was more interested in what March Spring had to say about her, "What did the other players say?"
"She's good at playing. Her moves are flashy, and her attacks are deadly." March Spring filtered out all the gossip and provided Death Blossom with some ambiguous information about Gongzi You.
Death Blossom was not interested in these. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is there anything else?"
March Spring lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "I used to be good friends with a Rogue under Wandering Cloud back in the Tang dynasty. He said that he had fought against her before, and they worked together during the Western Continent's invasion of the Eastern Continent. He did mention something about Gongzi You. "
"What did he say?" Death Blossom's interest was piqued when she heard that someone had fought against Gongzi You. To her, nothing was more valuable than the words of someone who had fought against her.
"He said that he didn't see anything clearly. Then, his throat suffered a fatal injury." March Spring stood up and assumed the same posture as when he fought against Wandering Cloud, "They were running toward each other like this. He and Wandering Cloud were running toward Gongzi You, but Gongzi You ran between them. He thought that he had succeeded, but Gongzi You was still standing. He said that he had thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out how Gongzi You managed to do it. "
Death Blossom was stunned for a moment, "What level were they at back then?"
"I don't think they were higher than lvl20." March Spring was unsure, "It was too long ago, so I can't be sure."
"She's fast …" Death Blossom lowered her head and began to gather all the information she knew about Gongzi You, "She has great senses … Also, her opponents are all much stronger than us. She's a tough opponent."
"I think there's only one person who knows Gongzi You's strength the best, but …" March Spring shrugged.
"Shut up if you're talking about Fleeting Time." Honey Barbie rolled her eyes at March Spring, "Everyone knows that Fleeting Time is the player who has fought against Gongzi You the most. But do you think you can find him? Even if you do, do you think he'll tell you? It's all bullshit. "
March Spring could not refute Honey Barbie's words. He could only rub his nose and sit at the side.
Death Blossom pondered for a moment before speaking up, "Honey, Spring, Gongzi You will only be bringing 15 players with him. But we'll need to rearrange the members. "
Honey Barbie and March Spring immediately took note of Death Blossom's words, "You'll be bringing two Hunters and one Ranger with you this time. The rest of the party will be Rogues. Go ahead and pick your members. Once you're done, show me the list."
"Why a Hunter and a Ranger? We didn't bring them with us when we fought against Fleeting Time. "Honey Barbie could not understand why Death Blossom wanted to change the members.
"Gongzi You is a Hunter. Have you forgotten how much trouble that damned bat of his caused you? It's strong enough to kill three Rogues, but if you bring two Hunters with you, they'll be able to solve the problem. Also, it'll be best if you have a Dark-Bladed Leopard with you. The Dark-Bladed Leopard has the highest Perception among all pets, and it'll be able to counter Gongzi You's Stealth. As for the Ranger, they have a healing skill. It's not a powerful skill, but it'll be able to preserve our strength in times of crisis. " Death Blossom let out a sigh after explaining her intentions to Honey Barbie and March Spring, "We've already lost three times to the top players of the four continents. This time, we can't afford to lose!"
"Isn't it a draw? It's not like Spotless Autumn killed any of our men …" Honey Barbie pouted. She was displeased with Death Blossom's words.
Death Blossom glanced at her and spoke calmly, "Do you think it's a draw if you're able to escape unscathed from the encirclement of fifteen enemies? We're already outnumbered, and we're not even able to kill them. Even if we don't lose a single soldier, isn't that a failure? "
Honey Barbie was rendered speechless by Death Blossom's words. She lowered her head and remained silent.
Death Blossom patted Honey Barbie's head, "It might seem like there's a small difference between top players and top players, but there's a huge gap between them. You can't let your guard down just because you've killed top players multiple times. You should know that an arrogant soldier is bound to lose. "
"I understand, sister Death Blossom." Honey Barbie had always been in awe of Death Blossom. She nodded obediently, but she was determined to get back at Gongzi You no matter what.
Ye Ci finished a piece of meat in her cave. She did not notice anything amiss, so she decided to go out and continue leveling. But as soon as she stood up, she sensed that something was amiss. There was an aura in the air that did not belong to the Misty Forest.
Ye Ci immediately crouched down and poured a Perceptual Enhancement Potion into her mouth. Immediately, she felt that her sense of touch, sense, and hearing had become sharper. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and quietly sensed the unusual aura in her surroundings.
As expected, she noticed a lot of differences.
The difference was due to the fact that there were more than ten players in the party. The closest one of them was 150 yards away from her, while the furthest one was less than 200 yards away from her. None of them were in a straight line, but Ye Ci was unable to confirm the exact situation of the party. She would have to go out and take a look. (To be continued.)
