When Sword Demon first saw Gu Fei, he was shocked by his equipment. He was so shocked that he didn't even think of using Appraisal to take a closer look. But to be honest, there was no need. Gu Fei's equipment was ordinary roadside goods. Even if it was good, it wouldn't be much better. The real best ones had to be done from the appearance, such as "Frostbite's Memories."
Listening to the endless screams of monsters over there, Sword Demon couldn't help it anymore.
How does this guy fight monsters? As a player who was already familiar with the various skills in the game, Sword Demon could roughly judge the other party's way of fighting monsters just by the sound. But at this moment, he couldn't guess Gu Fei's behavior.
For a player like Sword Demon who was proficient in studying the various skills in the game, he finally couldn't help but want to see what was going on.
In order to obtain firsthand information, the Sword Ghost chose to use Lurking to approach them quietly.
The skills in the "parallel world" weren't learned once and for all. They also needed to be improved with continuous practice. The improved value was called proficiency. The higher the proficiency, the better the effect of the skill. There were many ways to improve the proficiency of skills, such as daily use, rewards in some missions, or some items.
Lurk was obviously one of the most important skills for Thieves. A veteran player like Sword Demon knew its importance, so he had been constantly practicing and had reached a very high level. Judging from the text alone, there was no time limit for Sword Demon's Lurk. As long as he didn't attack or be attacked, he could stay in Lurk forever. It was definitely a necessary skill for sneak peeks.
Sword Demon just lurked like this, passed through the thin forest, and finally saw Gu Fei.
There was no wind at the edge of the forest, but Sword Demon clearly felt a slight chill, the kind that came from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Fei's monster fighting mode completely destroyed the general knowledge he had accumulated in online games over the years.
His quick and nimble steps fluttered his mage robe in the wind, and his old straw hat covered half of his face. His hand rose and fell, and the cold light flowed wantonly in the surroundings. The screams of the monsters came out one after another. And in Gu Fei's hand was a saber.
The blade looked very similar to the Tang Dao. It danced quickly in Gu Fei's hands, and Sword Demon's gaming knowledge was broken down by the slash.
Gu Fei's attack was beautiful, so beautiful that it was flawless.
But no matter how beautiful it was, it was still an ordinary attack!
A Mage wielding a sword and using normal attacks to farm monsters faster than him. Would anyone believe such a thing? Sword Demon was at a loss.
However, after looking at it for a while, the Sword Demon also noticed some of the mysteries in Gu Fei's fighting.
Every time he attacked with his saber, he could deal the most damage!
The damage value of weapons in online games was often set in a range from minimum to maximum, and the gap was not small. The minimum and maximum were two completely different levels of damage. For a long time, choosing a weapon with the highest damage value or a small range and strong stability was a topic of endless debate. How to exert the maximum damage of a weapon was also a mystery. In the end, the argument that players could accept was to rely on luck …
However, in the parallel world, which was a completely simulated MMORPG, the Sword Ghost had vaguely sensed that the difference between the maximum damage and the minimum damage was no longer a matter of luck but in the hands of the players themselves.
According to Sword Demon's initial estimation, the more accurate each attack and the better the strength, the higher the damage would be.
This was the case with Gu Fei in front of him.
Sword Demon believed that even if the damage of each of his attacks did not reach the maximum, it was probably not much different. Sword Ghost had been grinding here for a long time now. He knew very well how much HP these monsters had. Just a moment ago, he had clearly counted the number of slashes Gu Fei needed to kill a monster. With a slight calculation, he already knew how much damage Gu Fei could deal. Combined with Gu Fei's identity as a Mage, he concluded that Gu Fei's slashes were aimed at the maximum damage.
Control! At this moment, this word suddenly rushed into Sword Demon's mind.
Who said that holographic online games didn't have control? This was control. It was more powerful than the clacking of the mouse and keyboard in ordinary online games!
This kind of control that pursued the maximum damage … Yes, it was called extreme control! Sword Demon seemed to suddenly see a new world and couldn't help but be excited.
At this moment, Gu Fei obviously began to fight and retreat. While slashing the monsters, he moved backward with small steps.
"Why, does he also want to rest?" Sword Demon felt strange. He hadn't seen Gu Fei injured! Although there was also a setting for fatigue in the game, to be honest, this setting was more hindrance to the players. Imagine if it was really like the physical strength of an ordinary person. With such a high frequency of fighting, they might be exhausted in a few minutes. How could the game be played then?
So although there was fatigue, in fact, the decline was quite slow. Players jokingly called it the anti-addiction system. From the opposite side, they ridiculed the game company's mentality of not wanting players to play less games.
Could it be that under extreme control, fatigue decreased very quickly? Sword Demon thought to himself. If that was the case, then the gains would not make up for the losses. While his Fatigue Points decreased slowly, so did his recovery rate. Currently, there was no way for him to recover quickly. He could only spend time waiting. Although logging out of the game counted, in the Sword Ghost Sword's eyes, it was absolutely not worth it.
In any case, it was obvious that Gu Fei was fighting while retreating. The monsters that he had lured were also killed one by one. The newly spawned monsters were not in his attack range, so they did not chase after him. When he retreated to the edge of the forest, he slashed down with his sword and killed the last monster.
Wonderful! Sword Demon thought to himself. Just the way he had retreated was enough to be described as an extreme maneuver.
But the wonderful part was yet to come. After the monster was cut down, Gu Fei held the knife in one hand and the straw hat in the other. He revealed his eyes covered by the brim of the hat and looked in the direction of Sword Demon. He smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
Sword Demon turned around and didn't see anyone behind him.
"Are you talking about me? You can see me? "Sword Demon's face was full of surprise.
"I can't see you, but I can feel you." Gu Fei said.
"How is this possible!" Sword Demon was surprised. He suddenly remembered the day when the two of them were PK and his backstab. At that time, he thought that the moment he made a move, Gu Fei noticed and quickly turned around to catch him.
Combined with the current situation, did he already know that he was lurking on the side?
What was this? Was this considered control? Sword Demon was at a loss.
"I say, hurry up and show your true form!" Gu Fei shouted. He knew of Sword Demon's existence, but he couldn't see Sword Demon. Sword Demon's voice came from the air. This scene was too strange.
Sword Demon stopped lurking and his figure gradually appeared.
"What's the matter?" Gu Fei asked.
"I want to see how you fight monsters." Sword Demon said.
"How is it?" Gu Fei laughed.
"Very good!" Sword Demon nodded.
"My Tang Saber Nine Consecutive … …"
"Tang Saber Nine Consecutive?"
"Yes!" Gu Fei nodded.
What was this? Was this the name of his control? Tang Saber. Two years ago in a Wuxia online game, there seemed to be this type of equipment. It was quite low level. Sword Demon secretly pondered. His rich experience and knowledge were limited to online games. The famous Tang Saber made him think of a lowly piece of equipment.
"Three Forms of Split Flow!" Gu Fei suddenly shouted. With a turn of his wrist, the saber in his hand was raised and he quickly slashed the air three times.
"Three Forms of Wave Breaking!" As soon as he said this, his aura changed. Like a fierce tiger coming down the mountain, he slashed forward three times.
"Three Forms of Blazing Sun!" The saber shrunk in front of him and with a shake of his arm, he slashed three times.
"Three Forms of Tang Saber Nine Consecutive, to be able to flexibly use the three techniques of slashing, chopping, and stabbing, it would take more than ten years of practice. What does this count as?" Gu Fei laughed at himself.
Sword Demon just nodded blankly. He had no idea what Gu Fei was talking about. In his eyes, Gu Fei's messy moves were far less exciting than when he fought monsters.
"Oh right, why are you looking for me?" Gu Fei asked.
Sword Demon really did have something, but he couldn't make up his mind. But after seeing Gu Fei's "extreme operation", he finally made up his mind. "I have a friend who wants to find a few people to form a mercenary team. Are you interested?"
"Mercenary team?"
"You don't know?"
"I know, of course I know." Gu Fei, who had paid attention to all aspects of the game, knew the settings of the two major organizations in the game.
Guilds and mercenary groups.
Guilds were like gangs in normal online games. In the "parallel world," one person could nominate and twenty people would respond to establish a guild.
Mercenary groups were a new setting that was different from normal online games. It didn't have a number requirement. Even one person could announce the establishment of a mercenary group. Then, they could accept mercenary missions issued by the system to earn money, experience, or other rewards. In addition, players or guilds could also go to the mercenary union in the game to issue missions and submit rewards. If players accepted the mission and completed it, they could also earn rewards. Of course, it was impossible for players to provide rewards in the form of experience. It would most likely be money or equipment.
There was no conflict between guilds and mercenary groups, which meant that people from different guilds could also form the same mercenary group. But the current trend was for guilds to form their own mercenary groups. Although a mercenary group could be formed by one person, looking at the mercenary missions issued by the system, it was impossible for one person to complete them. This kind of lone hero would probably only be able to complete some simple missions issued by players in the future! Therefore, the fact that a guild could nurture a powerful mercenary group was a hot topic in the game at the moment.
Gu Fei smiled and said, "Why, do you want me to join your Defiant Guild mercenary group?"
Sword Demon smiled bitterly. "Defiant Guild has already disbanded."
"Ah, why?" Gu Fei found it strange. Guilds currently had to be established by players at level 30 and players above level 20 to respond. Sword Demon was already 30, and Gu Fei thought that his Defiant Guild had been established for a long time.
