The number of quests issued by the system was far more than the number of quests issued by the players who needed help. If a mercenary group wanted to make a name for themselves, they basically had to rely on farming. They would accept the quests issued by the system and repeatedly do them. The higher the completion rate and the higher the completion rate, the higher the ranking. When the players needed help, there would naturally be more people coming to them.
However, the quests issued by the system, especially those that could be repeated, were naturally dull and tedious. No matter how novel the quests were, no one would be able to find any joy in doing them dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times. This required perseverance and perseverance.
The Han Family's Young Master was extremely impatient with such boring things, so the mercenary group under his leadership completely ignored this path. Han Family Young Master's goal was to build up his popularity through trading with the players.
This first step of development was very smooth. The quest to capture the boss of Black Dragon Mountain Cave was rather difficult. The Childe Elite Group that completed it was the talk of the Mercenary Guild and the tavern for a period of time. Later on, Amethyst Reborn came to them through this method.
However, the Unlaughing Mercenary Group adopted a secretive approach. Although the quest was completed extremely well, they did not gain any points this time.
After that, there were no more commendable missions that could be taken out. After all, high difficulty quests also required good luck. Secondly, not everyone was willing or able to spend money to buy people to complete a quest.
Therefore, the development of Childe Elite Group stagnated. Han Family Young Master was not sure if he had lost his excitement at the moment, but he did not take the initiative to expand his business when there was no business that came knocking on his door. While the other mercenary group leaders studied and selected various quests in the Mercenary Guild, he basically drank at Little Ray's Bar. Therefore, the Childe Elite Group eventually became one of the countless small mercenary groups.
Today, when the six of them gathered together, Han Family Young Master suddenly raised his voice and said, "The time for the mercenary group to make a name for itself has come." Everyone thought he was having a high fever.
Brother You explained in a low 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, 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. It was a pity that the difference in strength wasn't obvious at all. It was only for one's imagination.
The event hadn't been officially announced yet. However, Brother You received some news that it involved mercenary groups and guilds, so he immediately informed Han Family Young Master to gather people. Basically, all players would try their best to participate in these events, regardless of the final outcome. For experts like them, they were naturally full of ambition.
"If we win this event, everyone will be famous in the future!" Han Family Young Master gave a speech to motivate them. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that it wasn't appropriate. This was because other than him who had just changed his ID, Sword Demon, Brother You, Yutian Shenming, and Unscathed In Battle were all masters who could make a name for themselves with their names alone. As for Gu Fei, once his ID of 27149 was announced, it was enough to shock everyone. That was a name that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the current Five Roaches. This was the legendary hidden BOSS behind the scenes.
As expected, the five of them were indifferent to Han Family Young Master's words of "everyone will be famous".
The young master of the Han Family cleared his throat and spoke again. "What I mean is that we definitely have to participate in the event. Since we've received the news in advance, everyone should make some preparations. Those who haven't done their class advancement yet, have you done your research? Qianli, can you rush to 40 in the next few days? "
"I don't think so." Gu Fei said. He was still a long way off from 40 EXP!
"Who has done your class advancement?" Han Family Young Master asked.
The four of them shook their heads. These experts were all very smart. Anyway, whether or not they did the class advancement wouldn't affect their daily leveling. Before they figured out the two directions, no one made a decision hastily. Everyone was waiting for the officials to reveal more information.
"Do as you see fit!" Han Family Young Master waved his hand. No matter how you looked at it, he was a person who was afraid of trouble. He was also too lazy to say too much. In the end, he said, "This time, our opponents are mainly other mercenary groups. Brother You will organize the information of other large mercenary groups in Cloud City in the next two days. We'll do our research when the time comes."
Everyone nodded.
"There's nothing else." Han Family Young Master shrugged.
"I'm going to do my mission!" Yutian Shenming was the first to stand up. As for this sentence, it was said to Gu Fei with a tone asking for instructions.
"Go, Yutian classmate." Gu Fei approved.
Then, the five of them stood up one after another and left. Only Han Family Young Master walked out of the private room, shouted "Wine" at Little Ray, then went back in and sat down.
After leaving the tavern, Unscathed In Battle and Sword Demon went their separate ways. At this time, Gu Fei received a message from Reborn Amethyst. She actually asked him to attend a meeting. This was really a rare occurrence. Gu Fei hadn't been there for a long time. He had a vague memory of which door Amethyst was in.
When he walked over, he found that Brother You was going the same way. The two of them chatted as they walked. Gu Fei suddenly remembered something and asked Brother You, "Do you know this person called Drifting?"
"Of course." Brother You said, "He's also an old player, an expert mage."
"Is that so? Then who's stronger between him and Yutian? "Gu Fei asked.
"This question has been debated ever since they became famous. There's no conclusion." Brother You said.
"Then didn't you say that Yutian is the number one mage?" Gu Fei was puzzled.
"Nonsense. The one sitting next to us is Yutian. If you want to sit with Drifting, we'll immediately say that Drifting is the number one mage." Brother You said.
Gu Fei couldn't help but laugh. These guys were really hypocritical. Then he asked again, "Then who do you think is stronger between the two of them?" Brother You wasn't the best, but his theoretical knowledge was definitely top-notch. Being a commentator was his strength.
"Well …" Brother You said after a slight hesitation, "Don't tell Yutian!"
Gu Fei smiled, "All right. I already know the answer."
Brother You also smiled, "It's not that Yutian isn't good. But as you can see, Yutian is a flamboyant guy. Everyone knows how good he is. If this kid finds any trick or technique, he will immediately announce it for others to learn and then pretend to be a god. Drifting is the type who keeps a low profile. Only when he makes a move will you know how good he is. And he's not like Yutian who likes to share resources. If he finds a trick, I think he will hide it. So, Yutian's strength is clear at a glance. Drifting is still hiding it. From this point of view, I think Yutian may not be as good as him. "
"Yeah, I think so too." Gu Fei nodded in agreement. Drifting tried his best to hide his "Red Flame of Falling Clothes."
"Do you know Drifting?" Brother You was surprised. The five of them knew that even though Gu Fei was good, he was still a newbie.
Gu Fei nodded, "I've only known him for two days. He's in Cloud City right now."
"Why is he 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 leaderboard? I don't know the Fighter called Hundred Years Strategist. I don't know if he changed his ID. The Archer called Water Depth and the Warrior called South Blade are both famous professional players. As for the Thief called Thin Waist Dance, she is a female. She is known as the toughest RMB player in history. I haven't met her before, but I've heard that her mechanics are quite good. But that's for sure. She spent all her time farming and doing business, so it would be strange if she wasn't good. However, I think that if Sword Demon hadn't been ambushed and dropped a level, he would have been one of the Five Roaches. "
"What a pity." Gu Fei also felt sorry for Sword Demon. Sword Demon'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 Ray's Bar wasn't far from Reborn Amethyst. It was rare that Brother You was actually heading in the same direction as Gu Fei. The two of them talked for a while and the sign of Reborn Amethyst was already in sight. Gu Fei pointed and said, "I'm here."
"Oh." Brother You patted him, smiled ambiguously, and continued walking forward.
Gu Fei pushed the door open and took a deep breath.
He hadn't been here for a long time. Reborn Amethyst's office didn't get bigger, but there were a lot more people. Gu Fei glanced at the corner where he used to be, and it was now occupied.
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 Amethyst, they had never seen a man in this room.
Just as they were feeling awkward, a woman suddenly stepped out and shouted at Gu Fei, "Hey, Qianli!"
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, and in its place 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 succumbed to the female players' love for beauty and had no choice but to make changes to the appearance. Looking at June Rain's armor, it was mainly red and black. There wasn't any dazzling brilliance, but it made her look valiant and heroic. She wasn't wearing a helmet, and walked towards Gu Fei. Her long hair fluttered in the wind. This was the legendary combination of strength and gentleness.
"Long time no see!" June Rain casually patted Gu Fei.
Gu Fei was still smiling! But when the slap landed, he immediately cursed inwardly. This Little Yu was still so brainless, she didn't use enough strength …
He staggered a few times to the side, and Gu Fei's heart was bleeding. He was sent flying by a girl with a single slap. This was too outrageous. But this was also because he had no other choice. As the characters in the game continued to add points, the players' stats in the game, such as strength and speed, began to clearly surpass that of normal humans. For someone like Little Yu who went all out, she was like Popeye who had eaten spinach. Trampling on Gu Fei was as easy as squashing a can.
Just as Gu Fei was about to steady himself, 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, and immediately asked: "Are you okay?"
Liu Xia knew what he was referring to and nodded.
On this side, Gu Fei was sent flying. On the other side, there was already someone yelling in a reproachful tone: "Little Yu!"
June Rain covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Oh, I forgot again." Saying this, she hurriedly came 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.
"What's there to mind, Little Yu and I are brothers!" Gu Fei said.
"Ha, that's right!" Little Yu said as she patted his shoulder again. Gu Fei wouldn't be careless this time. His shoulder moved to the side, and Little Yu's slap missed.
"I better be careful!" Gu Fei wiped his sweat.
With a swish, a healing spell floated onto Gu Fei's body. Gu Fei didn't even need to look to know who it was. Sure enough, Luoluo's voice sounded from the side: "You won't despise my healing spell this time, right?" An all out Warrior without a weapon was not simple. After receiving this slap, Gu Fei's health would definitely drop.
Gu Fei was speechless. These girls came one after another, it was really too much to handle.
"Let me first introduce everyone." July clapped her hands, "This person is our guild's Qianli Drunk."
The girls who didn't know Gu Fei had already asked the older members about his identity. However, since July had officially introduced him, everyone still had to react, clapping their hands, screaming, and whistling. Gu Fei, the guy who never appeared, was jokingly called "the enigmatic man" by the girls. At this time, when he appeared in person, he was warmly teased, and the atmosphere was lively.
At this time, Gu Fei's professionalism was reflected.
For example, in the physical education class, boys and girls were bound to be in separate classes, and 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 scene before. He immediately nodded to the girls very casually. "Hello, students."
"Hahaha …" The girls followed Gu Fei's joke, laughing and echoing, "Hello, teacher."
This imperceptibly made them even more into the role. Gu Fei smiled and nodded to everyone again, the awkwardness dissolving without any attack. Watching on the side, Luoluo was amazed. Usually, this guy was uncomfortable when she touched him with healing, but he was so calm in such a big scene.
July glanced at everyone and also said with a smile, "It's about time, I'll say a few words. The official event is coming, and 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 doesn't hurt to participate. You can sign up for the two competitions repeatedly. Our guild doesn't have a mercenary group, and if you want to participate in the mercenary competition again, we can form another one. "
The girls listened quietly, and only Little Rain was already excited. She clenched her fists and said excitedly to Gu Fei, "Quest, quest!"
No wonder she suddenly came back, it turned out to be for this event. Times were changing, but this girl was still so infatuated with quests. Gu Fei smiled as he flashed back two steps. That slap was painful enough. If she suddenly punched him, wouldn't he be smashed through the intestines?
On this side, July's speech was still going on. "Everyone, level up as much as you can these days. The event will probably take a few days."
It seemed like July had some connections. She actually received the news that Brother You received.
"Then, who wants to participate in the mercenary competition? Come and sign up. We'll also form a mercenary group. "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.
"Qianli, are you participating?" July asked.
"I have a mercenary group." Gu Fei said.
"Oh!" July didn't say anything. This was a very common phenomenon. Not all guilds had their own mercenary group. For example, Amethyst didn't have one, so there was nothing wrong with their guild members joining other mercenary groups.
Fiercely made a big fuss for a long time and finally got some girls to join his group. Gu Fei smiled disapprovingly. With these girls' immature skills, if they met with Sword Demon's group of veterans, other than seduction, there seemed to be no other way to win.
With this thought, Gu Fei suddenly realized that if they met with Childe Elite Group, they would immediately lose Yutian Shenming and Unscathed In Battle.
As for the other three guys. Ugh, although they weren't as radical as Yutian Shenming and Unscathed In Battle on the surface, who could know a person's face?
Gu Fei remembered that when Sword Demon first met Xi Xiaotian, he was quite excited.
As his imagination ran wild, Gu Fei received another message. He opened it and saw that it was Coward's Savior, shouting, "Master, I found you!"
"Where?" Gu Fei asked.
The two arranged a meeting place. When Gu Fei saw that the girls in the room had begun to leave, he greeted a few familiar people and left.
He arranged to meet Coward's Savior at the fountain in the square in the center of the city.
When Gu Fei arrived, Coward's Savior had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Gu Fei coming over, he immediately put on a Mantis Fist posture. His body swayed and his mouth was still babbling.
Gu Fei went up and hooked his leg toward his lower body. Coward's Savior took half a step back. His posture didn't change, and 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 a very casual test. Otherwise, wouldn't Coward's Savior's one month of training was equivalent to twenty years of training? That kind of Coward's Savior should be the lead actor.
Coward's Savior, who was praised by Gu Fei, was even more proud and continued to keep his stance.
"Okay, okay, keep it!" Gu Fei said. Mantis Fist's style was very unique and it was very easy to attract onlookers. Especially in such a bustling area in the middle of the city.
"How's Moonlit Night City?" Gu Fei and Coward's Savior exchanged greetings.
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 isn't a guild 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, at least one Former Dust guild 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."
