Gu Fei used Teleportation to float up the wall. The wall was thick and wide. Gu Fei stood steadily on it. Looking around, there was a thick fog behind him, and in front of him was a bright courtyard. Gu Fei hurriedly lowered himself. He did not want to be discovered so quickly. Then he heard Yan Xiaozhu, who was still hanging in the air, roar, "Hurry and pull me up."
"I'm a Sorcerer! I don't have the strength. "Gu Fei sighed.
"I have the strength to pull someone up. I'm not heavy." Yan Xiaozhu gritted her teeth. She was probably the first person to use all her stamina in the game. Currently, she was suspended in midair, unable to move up or down. She was unwilling to slide down, and listening to the carefree tone of the fellow who had used teleportation to float up, Yan Xiaozhu really wanted to pounce on him and bite him. Why bite? Did Yan Xiaozhu have any other strength other than talking?
"I'll try! Don't struggle, "Gu Fei said, his hands already gripping the rope.
Actually, Gu Fei knew what he was doing. Although he was weak as a Sorcerer, he still had the strength to pull the girl. The reason he had used Teleportation to float up the last five meters was to conserve his stamina and pull the girl. Gu Fei did not have the mentality of letting someone hang in the air and watch them make a fool of themselves. Only the Han Family Young Master would do such a despicable thing.
Then, he exerted strength with both hands and pulled Yan Xiaozhu up. After the girl came up, she immediately lay flat on the wall, panting heavily. It wasn't easy to feel so tired in the game.
Gu Fei was not much better than her. His stamina was also in the single digits. He was not as unsightly as Yan Xiaozhu, who was sprawled on the ground. He simply sat quietly to the side, but his heavy breathing revealed that he was very tired.
Yan Xiaozhu finally recovered after panting for a while. She turned to look at Gu Fei and saw that he was carefully putting away the two sets of hooks. Yan Xiaozhu was curious about this and asked, "Where did you get this?"
"I made it myself," Gu Fei said.
"Made it yourself? How do I do it? "Yan Xiaozhu asked.
Gu Fei glanced at her, then raised the hook in front of her and said, "Find this thing, then find this long rope, and tie it together. In theory, the stronger the rope, the better, and the heavier the hook, the better. "
"I'll get one too when I get back," Yan Xiaozhu said.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Play." Yan Xiaozhu's answer was not very meaningful.
Gu Fei ignored her. After putting away the two sets of hooks, he took out a pen from his pocket and a notebook. He flipped it open and placed it on his lap. His left hand searched his pocket for a long time before he took out a pair of binoculars. After looking at the time, he began to observe.
"You … what are you doing?" Yan Xiaozhu could not understand Gu Fei's actions, nor could she understand why he had so many strange items.
"Let me take a look at the NPC activity patterns here," Gu Fei said.
“NPC？ Activity patterns? "Yan Xiaozhu looked down in confusion. She did not need binoculars to see the areas that were relatively close. There were only two types of NPCs in the government compound: the guards who stood still, and the guards who walked back and forth.
"You said that Giordano would come out one day to tell them about the progress of the quest. Does this one day refer to a day in real life or a day in the game?" Gu Fei asked. These were naturally two completely different concepts. A day in real life was 24 hours; in the game, if one day was counted as black and white, it would be 6 hours.
"This … I'm not too sure!" Yan Xiaozhu said.
"Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough," Gu Fei said.
"What quest are you looking for Giordano for?" Yan Xiaozhu felt that something was wrong.
"Assassinate him," Gu Fei said.
Yan Xiaozhu's mouth fell open. After a while, she asked, "Where did you accept this quest? What's the reward? "
When accepting normal quests in the game, players would be told what the reward was in advance to give the player some room to choose. For example, a Thief would obviously not accept a quest that rewarded a staff.
Gu Fei did not say anything. He took out Andrew Sue's diary and threw it to Yan Xiaozhu.
"Andrew Sue's diary," Yan Xiaozhu read the item, "What is this? Who's Andrew Sue? "
"It's the Boss that's been on the headlines for the past two days," Gu Fei said.
"Misty Assassin!!!" Yan Xiaozhu cried out. The Misty Assassin had been on the headlines for the past two days. As players of Xia Wu City, they naturally paid more attention to it because it happened right beside them. Two of Yan Xiaozhu's friends were victims of the Misty Shadow Assassin's rampage yesterday. According to their descriptions, they didn't even see the shadow of the assassin. They only felt a gust of wind blow past them, and then they died.
Of course, this was an exaggeration, but it also showed how terrifying the Misty Assassin was. So even after the game officials announced that it was a bug, there were still quite a few people who were concerned about the Misty Assassin's fate. Unfortunately, the game officials did not give an explanation. Everyone guessed that the system must have discovered the bug and killed the Boss.
The wind of guessing had just begun, but Yan Xiaozhu had already seen the Boss's item. This made her feel quite surprised. At the same time, she couldn't doubt it because she had already flipped to the first page and saw the Misty Assassin's self-introduction. Of course, this could only be the work of the system. How could a player be so bored as to write something like this to tease everyone?
"This thing, where did you get it?" This was something that Yan Xiaozhu would definitely be suspicious of.
"The Misty Assassin dropped it when it died," Gu Fei said.
"How did it die?" Yan Xiaozhu asked.
"I killed it," Gu Fei said.
"I don't believe it! The Misty Assassin's level is so high, yet you killed it? "Yan Xiaozhu continued to be suspicious.
"Of course it wasn't just me. There was another friend who teamed up with me to finally kill it," Gu Fei said.
"Friend? Who is it? "Yan Xiaozhu thought of the two people who were together with Gu Fei, one big and one small. Even though they were famous experts, the real person was quite disappointing. This was Yan Xiaozhu's impression of Yutian Shenming and Unscathed In Battle.
"Hundred Lives Classic." Gu Fei only said the name and did not introduce it too much because there was no need to. Only a newbie would not know the name of one of the Top Five like the Hundred Era Statecraft.
As expected, Yan Xiaozhu knew the background of this character. She looked at Gu Fei and inexplicably thought of a poem, "There are great scholars who talk and laugh, there are no commoners." When it came to Gu Fei, it naturally meant that the characters around him were always top experts. From those two, to Drifting, to Hundred Lives Classic, and then to the character that he chased after … …
Jiannan You had lost another level yesterday. No one knew which busybody had dug up this news. He was no longer one of the Five Roaches, and he was far from being one of the Top Ten Idle Players. Jiannan You did not know whether to laugh or cry. In any case, the news of him losing another level was spread all over the game. When Strange Pupil and Yan Xiaozhu heard the news, they were sure that it was Gu Fei who did it.
Yan Xiaozhu already knew enough about the origin of the diary. She asked, "Then why are you showing me this?"
"Look at this." Gu Fei reached out and flipped through the diary. He flipped to the part where Misty Shadow Assassin recalled his 187th quest, which was related to Giordano.
"Oh!" Yan Xiaozhu realized. "You received the quest from here."
"What's the reward?" Yan Xiaozhu asked. For players, the final goal of a quest was the reward. That was the motivation for them to complete the quest.
Gu Fei, on the other hand, was different. The reason he came to do this was because he was interested in the quest itself.
"What? No reward? It's not shown in the quest list? "Yan Xiaozhu was surprised when she heard the truth." Then why are you doing it? "
Gu Fei thought about it and answered, "To play."
Yan Xiaozhu was defeated. It was a helpless answer.
"So now you …" Yan Xiaozhu began to understand Gu Fei's current actions. "You want to understand the actions of the NPCs below and find a chance to kill Giordano?"
"Yes!" Gu Fei nodded. "The actions of the NPCs are all step-by-step. There's a pattern to it. It's very simple."
"That's true, but even if you find a way to kill him, you can't make any mistakes. Even a second of error will lead to failure!" Yan Xiaozhu said.
Gu Fei was shocked when he heard this. He had heard something similar before. It was from Andrew Sue's diary. There was a passage that he once lamented: a single second of misremembering could be fatal to an assassin.
These words were very similar to his current situation. Could it be that there were still some hints hidden in the diary about his mission?
"Is it really that clever …" Gu Fei muttered in his heart. He had just read the diary not long ago, and it was still fresh in his memory. Other than this sentence, Gu Fei could not think of any other hints. Could it be at the back? Gu Fei thought. There was still some content at the back of the diary that Gu Fei had not read yet.
"I should finish the task at hand first!" Gu Fei retracted his thoughts and continued his observation. In the courtyard below the wall, he carefully memorized the position of every NPC guard, and the movement range and speed of each patrol team. He also carefully recorded them in his notebook.
These were all preparatory work. Other than recording, Gu Fei could not analyze anything else. He had to know when Giordano would appear, so that he could find an opportunity to attack based on the situation of the guards at the time. That was why he had been paying close attention to the city hall gate. Giordano was bound to appear from there. The time he appeared, the route he took, and the pattern of the positions of the other NPCs when he walked were the information that Gu Fei really wanted to grasp. What he had collected now was only the basics.
"Hey!" Yan Xiaozhu sensed some signs. "We're not going to stay here for six hours, are we?"
"It depends. Six hours might not be enough." Gu Fei was also very troubled about this. It was a holiday today, but the mission could not be completed so quickly. Did he have that much time to play the game?
