"Okay, since you insist …" Ye Xiaowu was silent. The tavern door opened and people rushed in. Gu Fei glanced at them and recognized them as the veterans who had ambushed them in the morning.
Gu Fei smiled and took a deep breath to calm his excitement. He slowly took out the Dark Night Lightsaber from his pocket.
The players in the tavern had already looked over in surprise when Gu Fei flipped the table. Now that so many people had suddenly rushed in, they naturally knew what was going to happen. In a closed space like the tavern, watching a show wasn't a good entertainment activity. The spells of the Magicians, the arrows of the Archers, and even the Warriors' Whirlwind Slash had a high chance of accidentally injuring others. Therefore, most of the players immediately left when they realized that something was wrong. A few people who would die if they didn't join in the fun hid in the corner and tried to give these people as much space as possible.
"Negotiation failed! Negotiation failed! Prepare to attack! Prepare to attack!" This group of veterans had also established a mercenary group. At this time, they were using the mercenary channel as a radio communication. Water Breaking Arrow sent a message. When the people outside received the message, they immediately broke through the door. Some carried bows, some held swords, and some held staffs. After entering, they surrounded Gu Fei in a fan shape.
They formed a fan-shaped encirclement to protect the players who were hiding in the corner. At the same time, they left a safe and smooth path for the players who wanted to escape. The three of them organized the evacuation of the players. These guys were treating this as a terrorist incident and were evacuating the masses.
Gu Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Is there any use in taking hostages?"
The crowd ignored him. Gu Fei suddenly attacked and stabbed at Ye Xiaowu who was closest to him. Ye Xiaowu's skills weren't enough to dodge Gu Fei's sword. However, Water Breaking Arrow was always on guard. As soon as he saw Gu Fei raise his hand, he immediately lifted Ye Xiaowu and the two of them fell to the ground. If this was a normal day, such a crude dodging method would be waiting for Gu Fei to catch up and trample him to death! But the situation was different now. The veterans had basically completed the encirclement. As soon as they saw Gu Fei attack, someone immediately shouted, "Open fire!" Regardless of their class, these guys always had a bow or crossbow with them. At this moment, they immediately raised their bows and released their arrows.
Gu Fei was already on guard. When he saw those guys raise their hands, he flew over a table and used the table as a shield. Then, he heard continuous "dang dang dang dang" sounds, and the wooden table was shot into a hedgehog. Gu Fei stole a glance outside. The tavern had two entrances that had been professionally sealed. As for the back door … This was just a system shop in the game. Everything that was sold was automatically generated. Of course, there wouldn't be anything like a delivery channel, so there was no back door. These two entrances were the exits, and there was no third option.
The veterans continued to maintain their firepower to suppress Gu Fei while transferring a few fellows who were good at close combat to the table where Gu Fei was hiding. When they got close, the two warriors made a hand signal and the firepower stopped. The two of them drew their swords and bowed. They looked at each other and nodded. Suddenly, they charged towards the wooden table together.
Of course, the wooden table couldn't withstand the Charge of the two warriors and was sent flying. The two of them were also stunned. They clearly saw Gu Fei hiding behind the table, but there was no trace of Gu Fei. Before they could react, they suddenly felt a wave of heat beside them. Behind them, their companions shouted, "To the left!" The two of them hurriedly turned to the left. Gu Fei had already flashed over with his Dual Flames, and a 720-degree Double Kill. Although the veterans were more skilled than the average player, seeing how they were being bullied by Jian Nan and Unscathed In Battle, they knew that their equipment was very ordinary. Most warriors would put some points into Constitution, but they were more willing to put them into Agility. In comparison, their HP was slightly lower than that of an average level 40 warrior. When faced with Gu Fei's surging ultimate skill, they died cleanly.
After taking care of the two, Gu Fei didn't give the others a chance to attack him. He immediately darted to the pile of tables at the side. The legs of the tables were everywhere. If one didn't pay attention, they wouldn't notice that there was a person hiding among them. However, this time, Gu Fei did it in front of everyone. Naturally, everyone saw his position clearly. Before they could open fire, Gu Fei pushed and kicked over a few tables in an instant. He was crouched behind the tables, and no one could see his exact location.
"It's teleportation …" Ye Xiaowu finally realized. After Gu Fei flipped over the tables, everyone thought that he was hiding behind the tables. Who knew that he would use teleportation to flash behind a nearby table? Everyone's attention was on the table at that time, and no one noticed. When the two warriors leaned over to flip over the table, they were instantly killed by Gu Fei who was crouching at the side.
"Sigh … Experience …" Ye Xiaowu sighed. This was another misunderstanding caused by his lack of experience. Based on common sense, Gu Fei was definitely behind the table. However, in the game, something as surreal as teleportation happened. Once again, the veterans were framed by the game's setting. The two comrades were sacrificed in a rather unjust manner. Even Ye Xiaowu didn't figure out this situation when Gu Fei flashed behind the table. Experience was the accumulation of experience. Naturally, there would always be places that one didn't think of when they judged a scene they had never experienced. A person's imagination was limitless. For example, Ye Xiaowu didn't expect Gu Fei to use teleportation to fly into the air to slash someone in the morning.
During the day, Apple Cider Vinegar really did fulfill Ye Xiaowu's request and told the veterans a lot about his PK experience in the game. However, the experience he talked about was basically the style of fighting between ordinary players. Compared to fighting with Gu Fei, there was a huge difference in Qianli! Rather than fighting with Gu Fei, the veterans might as well rely on their actual combat experience. As for being fooled by teleportation, they could only learn from their mistakes and slowly grow in actual combat.
"Drop the bomb!!" Water Breaking Arrow turned and shouted at Old Lei and Dalei. The veterans' ideas were so deeply rooted that it was difficult for them to completely abandon their understanding to adapt to the game. Instead, it was better to rely on some of the concepts in the game that they were familiar with. For example, when an arrow was shot, it was called firing. When a mage bombed the map, it was called dropping the bomb.
Old Lei and Dalei stepped forward and threw their staffs. Two fire wheels fell from the sky and exploded toward the place where Gu Fei was hiding.
"Use a landmine." Water Breaking Arrow suggested again. They called the Thousand Layers Flames of the Cinder Tree a landmine. Ye Xiaowu felt that the lurker's trap was more like a landmine, but the veterans unanimously thought that the trap was a serious trap and was completely different from a landmine. The Thousand Layers Flames of the Flaming Tree could barely be called a landmine.
Hearing this, the two immediately cast the Thousand Layers Flames together. The tables and chairs in the area that looked like a garbage dump turned into billowing waves of fire. Water Breaking Arrow said unhappily, "Can't you two use a bomb and a landmine together?"
The two nodded and said, "Wait, ammunition is being replenished." This meant that their skills were on cooldown.
"Should we go closer?" The others asked. The veterans with rich combat experience had experienced real combat again and again in the game. When they found that their knowledge couldn't be used correctly in the game, they gradually began to hesitate. At this time, seeing that the enemy was lying in ambush, even though they were a large group, they couldn't decide whether to go closer or not. Everyone had seen Gu Fei's attack just now. One roll could roll up two groups of people. Now that everyone was in a group, they couldn't make up their minds whether to go closer or not.
Ye Xiaowu thought back to Gu Fei's strike just now and felt astonished. At first, he thought that Gu Fei used Double Flame Flash twice in a row, but after thinking about it, he found that the roll of flames didn't show any signs of interruption. One Double Flame Flash spun around twice and didn't disappear? How was that possible? Ye Xiaowu didn't understand the technical content of Gu Fei's spin. Naturally, he couldn't understand it even if he cracked his head.
"Expand the encirclement, flank him from both sides!" The veterans had already discussed a new battle plan. The encirclement didn't shrink but instead expanded. After expanding the radius, two groups of people had already flanked Gu Fei's hiding place. However, when they looked over, they immediately collapsed, "He's gone again!!!"
While they were moving, Gu Fei's Teleportation cooldown was over and he once again flashed to who knows where.
"The distance of Teleportation is about five meters!" Ye Xiaowu hurriedly told everyone. Everyone's expression turned cold. They immediately expanded the radius of the area by five meters and searched with their eyes. In the end, they still couldn't find any traces of Gu Fei.
"He teleported on foot." Water Breaking Arrow sighed, "But in the end, he's still in this tavern."
Unfortunately, the tavern was extraordinarily large. There were tables everywhere, and all of them were possible hiding spots. The veterans looked around with bright eyes, and the legs of tables and benches were everywhere. In just a short while, their eyes were dazzled. These people weren't young. In some aspects, they really couldn't be compared with young people.
"The tables and chairs are placed too densely. It doesn't meet the fire safety requirements at all." A veteran complained.
"Eh? I heard that you went to the local area to do firefighting after you retired? "Someone next to him asked.
"Yes!"
"How was it? Did you make any contributions? "
"I've done it once, third class." The man chuckled.
"Good. You didn't embarrass us." Another person patted his shoulder and said.
They were chatting, but there was still no trace of Gu Fei.
"Remove the obstacles!" Water Breaking Arrow said and asked Ye Xiaowu next to him, "Can I?" In the system's shop, there were tables and chairs arranged by the system. Water Breaking Arrow didn't know if the system would have any opinions if he casually fiddled with it. But seeing that Gu Fei had already flipped over so many tables, the system didn't seem to have any reaction.
"If it's damaged, the system will ask for compensation." Ye Xiaowu said.
"Do you have enough money?" Water Breaking Arrow asked.
Ye Xiaowu also felt guilty. This tavern was huge. He knew how much the system would ask for money. If it really asked for compensation, did he have enough money to pay?
"Whatever. Let's mess around first!" Ye Xiaowu said. What would happen if he didn't have enough money? Ordinary people might not know, but Ye Xiaowu knew the rules. In fact, nothing would happen. The system wanted money, but you didn't give it? Then the system would directly take the money from your pocket. If it wasn't enough, it would take the money until it was enough. What could you do to the system?
Water Breaking Arrow nodded to the crowd. These guys continued to search for Gu Fei's location while moving the tables and chairs from the searched areas to the side. With more and more empty areas, it wouldn't be easy for Gu Fei to continue playing hide-and-seek.
"Who are these guys?" The players gathered in the corner whispered and discussed with each other.
"I've never seen them before. I don't know any of them." There were also people in the audience who claimed to be famous in the city, but he didn't know any of the players in front of him.
"Just now when I asked the mages to throw spells, I think I heard them shout something about throwing bombs." Someone said.
"Haha, that's interesting."
"Who is the person they're chasing?"
"One Double Flame Flash killed two Warriors. Who do you think it is?"
"Qianli Drunk?"
"Who else could it be besides him!"
"Ahhh, that's my idol!"
"Where is he hiding now? Did you guys see him?"
"No. After teleporting just now, I don't know where he flashed to."
These players discussed while looking for Gu Fei's figure in the pile of tables and chairs.
The veterans continued to search carefully, moving the tables and chairs. The entire tavern was gradually cleared out by them. Some of the players who entered the tavern were shocked. They didn't know what was going on. Not having a place to drink wasn't a big deal. At the very least, it couldn't be compared to not having a place to level up. So, no one felt anything. Instead, they curiously stayed behind to see what these people were doing. As a result, more and more players stood at the edge of the tavern. The veterans' investigation was finally coming to an end. In such a small area, there was no need to move anything. It was obvious that there was no one there.
Everyone was in a trance. During the investigation, they were always on guard against Gu Fei's sudden attack, so it was impossible for Gu Fei to move anywhere during the investigation. And considering that Gu Fei could teleport five or six meters at a time, they had cleared out a five-meter wide empty space at the beginning of the investigation. Then, Gu Fei would teleport to this empty space and be completely exposed, or continue to teleport to an unsearched area.
Gu Fei hadn't been exposed. At this time, all the areas had been searched, but there was no sign of him. Where did he go?
"Did we blow him up just now?" Old Thunder and Big Thunder said.
"Did anyone see the white light?" Breaking Arrow asked the others. He didn't see it.
"No." Everyone shook their heads.
"At that time, there was a fire. If the white light appeared, it would have been covered," someone said.
"It's just four spells. Even if he was hit by all of them, he shouldn't have died, right?" Breaking Arrow asked Ye Xiaowu. When it came to data calculations, Ye Xiaowu was much more experienced than them.
"He won't die," Ye Xiaowu asserted. Ye Xiaowu asserted. He was well aware of Old Thunder's magic damage, and he had been paying attention to Gu Fei for a long time. He was also well aware of Gu Fei's equipment and stats. Old Thunder's four spells were definitely not enough to kill Gu Fei.
"Actually … do you two have PK points?" Ye Xiaowu asked a simpler question.
The two immediately understood and shook their heads, "No."
"He didn't die. Did he use the Windchaser Emblem?" Breaking Arrow said.
"Apple Vinegar is over there. I didn't see him." Ye Xiaowu was prepared for this.
"What the hell." Breaking Arrow was surprised. At this time, Sniper God came over and whispered something to the two. The two froze. The other veterans searched the tavern and couldn't find Gu Fei. Just as they were feeling helpless, Breaking Arrow suddenly sent a message in the channel, "Everyone, be careful. The target is probably in the crowd!!"
Everyone froze. They didn't disturb the normal players. Everyone was free to come and go in the tavern. However, when they saw them working, no one was stupid enough to occupy a spot to drink. They either left or stood at the base of the wall to watch the show. At this time, the base of the wall was filled with people, and this spot was indeed something they hadn't noticed. If Gu Fei hid behind the table for the second time and used Instant Movement to blend into the crowd, it would still be feasible.
Everyone was sure of this deduction, but they didn't show it on their faces. Instead, they were certain that Gu Fei had left. The few people who were guarding the entrance had already left, looking like they were about to retreat.
"It's fake …" At this time, a player beside Gu Fei whispered to him, "Pretend to leave and wait for you to appear before coming back."
"You can even see through this. You're not simple!" Gu Fei was indeed in the crowd, and as soon as he appeared, he was discovered by the people around him. However, the main quality of the bystanders was that they would watch a good show and not mind things getting out of hand. Moreover, Gu Fei was alone at this time, and these people were a group. No one understood the grudges between them, so they would definitely lean towards Gu Fei's side, who seemed to be the weaker one. As a result, when Gu Fei hid among them, the people who knew about it all laughed in secret. No one said anything. Especially the person who was talking to Gu Fei. He immediately started a conversation with Gu Fei and the two chatted happily.
Hearing Gu Fei's praise, this person curled his lips in disdain and said, "There are only two exits. You didn't leave and you didn't die. I don't even need to think to know that you're still here."
"Look at how ignorant you are. Who said that not leaving and not dying means that I'm still here?" Gu Fei said.
"What else could it be?" the person asked.
"Look at this." Gu Fei showed him the Windchaser Emblem. "I have a completed Bounty Quest on me. If I want to leave, I can teleport away."
"How did you get this?" The person's eyes widened.
"A hundred Bounty Quests. How long would that take?" After listening to Gu Fei's explanation, the person's eyes widened even more. In the eyes of most people, Bounty Quests were laborious and unrewarding. If they didn't need to clear PK, who would be willing to do that? This guy had played the game for so long, but he still hadn't had the honor of having PK points.
"Alright, I can't talk to you anymore. They're all leaving." Gu Fei began to squeeze out of the crowd.
"What are you doing?" The person was shocked.
"Accumulating PK points." Gu Fei said as he walked out. Suddenly, a white light rose up in the tavern. Everyone was surprised. The most common situation with white light was when a person disappeared. White light rose up in a place where no one was. This could only be seen when offline players came online. After all, things like Teleport Scrolls weren't common, so it wasn't common to see people teleport everywhere.
Ye Xiaowu and the others were really just pretending to leave. Apart from the Thieves who were quietly lying in ambush, the others were also paying attention to the situation in the tavern when they left. At this moment, when the white light rose up, several people who hadn't left immediately stopped and looked back.
