"There's a name here too, Angus!" Slim Waist Dance also found something on the paper she was in charge of.
"Uh, I don't think anyone would think that the monster is a woman, right?" Xi Xiaotian said.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Then it's obvious that he's Angus, Gilkino's assistant and also Gilkino's student. And the girl named Courtney mentioned here is also Gilkino's student, they should be a couple. "Xi Xiaotian said.
"Really? I can't tell from the paper! "Gu Fei said.
Xi Xiaotian pulled out a piece of paper from his hand and shoved it in front of Gu Fei's eyes. On it were words like "I love you" and "I love you too".
"Students these days are really amazing." Gu Fei said.
"This one, look at this one." Yutian Shenming found something again.
"Angus, I think this project isn't right. Can we not continue?"
"Haha, don't worry, the teacher has already found a solution."
"Oh? What is it? "
"I'll only tell you in secret. It's magic. Do you believe it? It's such a magical thing. "
"Magic? I feel even more uneasy now. "
"It'll be fine. Trust me."
"Oh." Xi Xiaotian nodded after listening, "The story is getting clearer, isn't it? It's probably because of this project, that Gilkino guy used some magic he shouldn't have used, or some accident happened, or maybe Angus was a victim in his plan, which led to this terrible change. "
"Look at this … So pitiful." Slim Waist Dance held up a stack of paper and passed it to everyone.
"This part seems different from the previous paper." Xi Xiaotian said.
"But the handwriting is the same. This is no longer the same paper that was used to communicate with each other." Yutian Shenming said.
"It's Angus' handwriting, but it seems a little different." Gu Fei also flipped through the pages.
"I think he's changed at this time. He can't find Courtney anymore, so he can only write on the paper alone, uh, to express his longing …" Slim Waist Dance said.
"The handwriting is getting more and more chaotic." Xi Xiaotian flipped through the pages one by one. "It seems that this mutation is making it harder and harder for him to maintain a normal consciousness."
"How pitiful! Even so, he still can't forget his Courtney. "As Slender Waist Dance spoke, she looked at Gu Fei." You're the murderer. "
"Hey! You almost threw up when you saw him, "Gu Fei reminded Slim Waist Dance.
"That doesn't affect my sympathy for him," Slender Waist Dance said.
"Okay … actually, that's not the main point. The main point should be the project mentioned here. Maybe it's the hole at the bottom of Yunjiao Lake. There must be some secret," Gu Fei said.
"The murderer …" Slim Waist Dance was still immersed in the story.
"That's just a string of data!" Gu Fei said.
"There must be something behind that cave, there's no doubt about that. These little pieces of paper can only prove this point, but there are no hints on how to unravel this secret. Maybe we should go take a look at the cave? "Xi Xiaotian said.
"That's impossible." Gu Fei shook his head.
"Why?"
"Because it's the bottom of the lake, and humans need to breathe," Gu Fei told her.
"Then, for this quest, finding Gilkino and Angus, maybe it's to find the way to that place," Xi Xiaotian said. "Maybe we shouldn't have killed him …"
"I didn't kill him." Gu Fei spread out his hands. "Those players did."
"Or maybe after killing him, some important clue or item will drop from his body."
"Then it looks like we won't get anything." Gu Fei turned his head to look into the distance. The sea of players had drowned Angus. Even if he dropped something, it would have been picked up by the players. With so many people, finding and retrieving the item would be extremely difficult.
"But these pieces of paper gave us another clue," Xi Xiaotian said.
"You mean, this Courtney?" Gu Fei said.
"That's right. From the contents of the notes where Angus misses Courtney, we can clearly see that Courtney isn't dead. Angus only became like this because of this project and didn't dare to see her again. The only people who know about this project are Gilkino, Angus, and Courtney. Courtney might know the least, but she's our only choice, at least for now, "Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei nodded and flipped through the paper in his hand. "But there's no mention of where to find her. Looking for someone again … I hate looking for people. "
"At least she's just an NPC, it's much more convenient than looking for players," Xi Xiaotian said.
"Wait, wait." Gu Fei suddenly thought of something. "The empty house by Yunjiao Lake, who lives there? Who would come to live here for no reason? Of course, I'm talking about if it's not a random setting set up by the system, but if there's a story behind it. "
"In the fireplace of the wooden house, there are some ashes after a fire. We found a piece of paper among them, marking the entrance to the cave at the bottom of Yunjiao Lake. Someone did research on this project there. Who could it be?"
"Maybe it's Gilgino. He once led the players on the siege side to that place. Maybe it's the place where they researched the project. But it could also be Courtney. She once lived there and researched the project. What is she trying to do? From the contents of the paper, she doesn't seem to be involved in this project. She's only worried about Angus, "Gu Fei said.
"Hearing you say that, it seems like we should go there and take a look," Xi Xiaotian said.
"That's not a good idea. That place … maybe the Han Family Young Master has set up an ambush. He knows that our quest is related to that place," Gu Fei said.
"Courtney … where can we find this NPC? You guys go through the paper again and see if there are any clues. I'll send a message to Sword Demon and the others in the city. Ask them to keep an eye out for an NPC with this name. "
"Okay …" They nodded and went their separate ways. But after studying the paper again, there was no more information about Courtney. Xi Xiaotian's gaze had already turned to the necklace. He looked left and right. "This necklace should be Courtney's, right?"
"Or maybe it's something that Angus wanted to give but didn't. How pitiful, "Slender Waist Dance said.
"Maybe this is the key to finding Courtney." Xi Xiaotian handed the necklace to Gu Fei.
"Huh?"
"Take this item and ask your quest issuer," Xi Xiaotian said.
"Hmm, it seems like we should go back and ask." Gu Fei nodded.
"Let's go to Yunjiao Lakeside and pay attention to whether there's an ambush," Xi Xiaotian said.
"What if we're discovered?" Yutian Shenming knew how scary it would be if the Han Family Young Master wanted to ambush them.
"Then we'll die once. It's no big deal," Xi Xiaotian said.
"Then we'll split up for now," Gu Fei said.
On the siege side, the four guild leaders were sitting together with Ye Xiaowu. They were ready to see what this inexplicably confident little Cleric had up his sleeve.
"Simply put! Qianli is drunk. He's currently in the middle of a quest that's highly likely to cause the siege of Cloud City to fail, "Ye Xiaowu said.
"What? That's not fair. Why should we all fail when he can complete a quest alone?" The four guild leaders were anxious.
"Both the siege and defense sides have these decisive quests. And these quests are actually two-way quests. But the problem is that there aren't any major cities with defending players, and there aren't any major cities where the defending players have the upper hand in a two-way quest. Honestly speaking, do you believe it? A two-way quest, one person against two hundred thousand people, one person has the upper hand, "Ye Xiaowu said.
"He's not one person," Unsworn Sword said.
"I know. He's even created a guild, right? That's why you should feel even more pressure. If he wins this two-way quest … … "
"Wait, you just said that this quest is decisive and two-way. Does that mean that if we beat him in this quest and complete it, we'll also win the siege?" Against the Current suddenly said.
"Even if we don't complete it, we won't be too far from victory. Don't you know? The siege of your neighbor, Moonlit City, has already ended, "Ye Xiaowu said.
"What?"
"They completed this type of quest. In the siege, they received help from the Wolfman Army, and Moonlit City has already been conquered by them." Ye Xiaowu said, "Maybe you guys should take a break and look at the forums. There are a few other major cities that are nearing the end of their battles. This experience is worth learning from."
"They didn't cause trouble for Qianli, right? According to what you said, we also received this type of quest. If it wasn't for Qianli playing two-way quests with us, we would've already completed it and won the siege, right? "Against the Current said.
"That's why I appeared. Qianli shouldn't have appeared and caused so much trouble for everyone," Ye Xiaowu said.
The four guild leaders' expressions changed when they heard this.
"What do you mean? Qianli's drunkenness is actually a bug? He's not human? "
"No wonder, I felt that guy was inhumane. So it was a system error?"
"What about those guys from Childe Elite Group? They too? "
"How is that possible? Haven't you heard of Sword Demon and Yutian Shenming? These guys clearly discovered a bug and made full use of it. Damn, what's the difference between this and using a cheat? "
Ye Xiaowu was dumbfounded. He was deeply impressed by the four guild leaders' imagination. After a while, he came back to his senses and interrupted the four's argument, "Wait, that's not what I meant. Qianli's drunkenness is a normal player, it's not a system error or anything like that."
"Then … what do you mean by he shouldn't have appeared?" Sword of No Oath asked.
"It means that he's too strong. Such a strong character shouldn't have appeared in the game. His strength has completely destroyed the balance of the game because it's hard to imagine a normal player reaching his level," Ye Xiaowu said.
"The game doesn't allow players to be too strong? What kind of rule is that? Wait, just who are you? "The four Guild Leaders were shocked. Although Qianli's drunkenness caused them a lot of trouble and made them grit their teeth at the mention of this character, in reality, Qianli's drunkenness was the hope of every player. No player wouldn't be envious of Qianli's drunkenness, and no one wouldn't wish to have that kind of strength. But now, there was someone telling you that the game didn't allow such strength. This was equivalent to wiping out everyone's dreams and goals. Although rational people understood that they wouldn't be able to reach such heights, at least it was still a beautiful dream. Now that someone was telling you that this dream wasn't real, who wouldn't know? But it was too cruel to say it out loud.
"No, no … that's not what I meant." Ye Xiaowu hurriedly explained, "What I meant was that Qianli's strength wasn't built on the game's settings. Don't you know that? He's a real warrior with strong fighting skills, so he has an absolute advantage against normal players. He doesn't even need equipment or game skills to defeat many people. This kind of existence is what I'm talking about: strength that shouldn't exist. "
"You still haven't answered us. Who are you?" The four asked, "Are you from the game company?"
"No." Ye Xiaowu flatly denied, "I just can't stand his strength. I think it's unfair."
"Well, what can you do? You just said that his strength isn't built on the game's settings. So, unless his account is deleted, who can stop his strength? "Upstream said.
"Even if we can't stop his strength, we can at least stop his strength from affecting other players. This is what I want to do." Ye Xiaowu said.
"For example, are you going to help us win the city war now?" Upstream asked.
"No, I just want to stop him from using his strength to sabotage your mission." Ye Xiaowu insisted.
"Forgive me for being blunt," Upstream said, "You're just a little priest with ordinary equipment who hasn't even changed classes. Where do you get the confidence to go against Qianli's Drunken?"
"If what he has is power, what I have is knowledge. Knowledge of the game." Ye Xiaowu said.
"You said you're not from the game company." Upstream said.
"Yes, I'm not …" Ye Xiaowu said.
"Oh … I understand." Upstream wasn't stupid, "You're from the game company, but in a sense, you can say that you're not. Are you playing with words?"
"This question isn't important." Ye Xiaowu said.
"You have knowledge, and then use our strength to stop Qianli's Drunken, is that right?" Upstream said.
"That's right."
"Okay, let's begin!" Upstream was happy. He clearly showed more enthusiasm than the three guild leaders. The reason was simple. He already knew what the two-way mission Ye Xiaowu was talking about was, and this mission happened to be in the hands of his guild thirty miles away. Stopping Qianli's Drunken would definitely give them a big breakthrough no matter what the outcome was. For Singing With Wine, it was quite profitable.
The other three guild leaders also thought of the same thing as Upstream, and at this moment, they didn't feel good. Getting Qianli's Drunken and sabotaging his mission was something they were happy to do, but when they thought of how Upstream had picked up a big bargain after everything was done, they immediately felt unhappy. When they worked together before, they didn't think that dealing with Qianli's Drunken would have such a big stake.
"Come on, use your knowledge and tell us what to do." Upstream was obviously a little excited at this moment.
"At least I have to understand how far both sides have gone with the mission." Ye Xiaowu said.
The other three guild leaders looked at Upstream together.
"Ahem." Upstream coughed and explained the situation of their mission along the way.
"It's really complicated." Ye Xiaowu said, "See, this is the mission during the city war. The degree of freedom is quite high, and there are actually many branches that can lead to the final conclusion. Your mission list might not have a mission, but if the corresponding conditions are met, it can also be considered completed, and it can also lead to further development."
"Oh, is that so?" The eyes of Unsworn Sword and the other two lit up when they heard this.
"Oh, is that so?" The same words came out of Upstream's mouth, but the mood was different. He felt that it was a pity that he couldn't enjoy this mission alone.
"Gilkino is already dead. Is this his current state?"
"Yes, he said that he needs us to find the things that were taken from the hut. What should we do?" Upstream asked.
"If Gilkino is dead … then the contents of Qianli's Drunken will also change. He will probably go find Angus." Ye Xiaowu muttered to himself.
"Angus? Who is Angus?" The other three guild leaders were excited.
"He's Gilkino's assistant, and also one of the clue NPCs for this mission." Ye Xiaowu said.
"Wait, there's a situation. We found Qianli's Drunken at the Cloud Mine!" Unchung Mutsu suddenly said.
"I also reported it. Teleportation. It's definitely him." Unsworn Sword also said.
"Is he already there?" Ye Xiaowu said.
"Angus is there?"
"Yes." Ye Xiaowu nodded.
"What will happen next?" the four asked.
"That depends on how he deals with it. Maybe we should go there as well." Ye Xiaowu said.
"Let's hurry." The guild leaders gathered their troops. Upstream was depressed that his question had been ignored, so he took the opportunity to ask again, "I say, how should we progress on my side?"
"There are a lot of clues. Use your brain." Ye Xiaowu patted him, and the people that Unsworn Sword had gathered prepared to move out. However, they were all a group of short legs. The various guilds had already sent their speed classes to check out the situation.
"Angus … if Qianli's Drunken Mode is triggered, then that will be interesting. Maybe we can defeat him." Ye Xiaowu said.
"Oh, he will." Unsworn Sword nodded. He had a little understanding of Gu Fei. If there was a place to fight, this person would definitely choose to fight. Otherwise, why would everyone think that he was inhumane?
In the end, when this group of short legs rushed to the halfway point, there was a report from the front. "Qianli escaped after getting drunk. A strange disgusting creature was killed by the players."
