Gu Fei moved quickly. Since he couldn't teleport underground, he took a scroll outside the cave and made a coordinate. Then, he ran all the way back to the main city.
Although Gu Fei didn't do quests according to the rules, it didn't mean that he didn't know the right way to do quests. Sometimes, he was just afraid of trouble, so he imagined himself killing all the way. The freedom of the parallel world allowed players to do as they pleased, but this time, after sneaking into this very suspicious place with the magic bubble, the space was too big. Even without the players who were attacking the city, Gu Fei felt that it was impossible to deduce any clues from there.
He first sent a message to Xi Xiaotian and asked them to ask Courteney outside. But Courteney didn't participate in this project, and she had already said everything she could. The other two people related to the project, Gilkino and Angus, were dead. The dead couldn't speak.
What should he do at this time? The answer was actually very simple. The quest was given by the Guard. Go back and tell the Guard what you know about the current investigation, and there might be new instructions. Unfortunately, no one else could do this for him. It had to be done by Gu Fei himself. At that time, he wanted to send the scroll out, but it failed. Finally, he realized that since these guys could come in, there must be a different path.
Gu Fei returned to the city, went to the council hall, and looked for the Guard. The captain was always sitting behind the desk, waiting for Gu Fei's arrival. Gu Fei didn't waste any time and quickly explained all his current findings. The captain's eyes shifted, and Gu Fei looked back. He saw the old man who claimed to be the Great Magician Austin in the corner again.
"Master!" Gu Fei used to despise this old man who claimed to be knowledgeable but didn't know any magic. However, this old man appeared and disappeared mysteriously. He suddenly appeared in the Guard's room at this critical moment. It was most likely related to this mission. Gu Fei guessed that he was about to give out a big hint.
Old Austin coughed twice and looked at Gu Fei with great relief. "You finally found the Cloud City water storage and drainage project."
Gu Fei nodded. "What's so strange about that place?"
Austin began his long and detailed description. He explained the purpose of the project, which was no different from what the Water Breaking Arrow had said. Of course, Gu Fei had never heard of it before, so he could only patiently listen to the NPC's nonsense. The explanation of the Water Breaking Arrow was the main content that Ye Xiaowu picked out from the main points. At this time, it was a long story for the NPC. He directly talked about the magic plague that broke out in Cloud City a few years ago. After talking about it and talking about it, he finally made it clear that the reservoir was actually storing dirty water, which was then treated before being discharged. The reason it was built at the bottom of Cloud Lake was because the magic barrier needed a large amount of water as a medium.
"If that's the case, the reason why Angus underwent such a terrifying mutation was because it was accidentally contaminated with the magical waste water you mentioned during the construction process?" This was a plot that the players didn't understand. When Gu Fei heard this, he was able to solve the puzzle.
"Poor man, may he rest in peace." It wasn't known if Austin knew Angus, but he only said this sentence. He didn't draw a cross on his chest or anything. Who knew what kind of god he was praying to.
"Then what can I do now?" Gu Fei asked.
"Drunk Qianli, it's time to fight back! We will use the water project to give these mobs a strong blow!! "The Guard Captain burst into a loud roar at this time.
When Gu Fei heard the captain's words, and it was a very important one, he quickly abandoned the old man and ran over.
"Follow me!" The Guard Captain left his desk and opened the office door. The NPC soldiers in the room had already lined up and followed him out. Gu Fei didn't fight with the NPC, but when he looked back, it seemed that the Great Magician Austin was also going out.
Following the NPC to the end of the corridor on the first floor, there was a double door. Gu Fei saw a sign on top of the door that said "War Conference Room". The Guard Captain pushed the door open and entered. Gu Fei followed closely behind and saw a huge sand table in front of him. Gu Fei casually glanced at it and realized that it was the sand table map of Cloud City.
"Is the map finished?" The Guard Captain continued with his loud voice.
"It'll be done soon." An NPC replied.
"Heh, not bad. You even know how to do this?" Gu Fei laughed. Next to the sand table, there were three players working hard, sweating profusely. They habitually ignored the NPC's conversation, but at this time, when they suddenly heard a very lively player's question, they couldn't help but raise their heads.
Drifting, with his left hand writing love, and his right hand writing handsome. The three of them had their sleeves rolled up high, and their faces, arms, and hands were covered in sand and sweat. At this time, when they saw Gu Fei standing beside the NPC with a smile on his face, proudly inspecting their work, they were extremely unhappy. Without saying anything, Drifting threw a Sand Ball at them. Gu Fei dodged it, and the NPC next to him was furious. "How can you be so rude to the Guard Captain?"
"Hahahaha!" Gu Fei laughed. Drifting and the other two were very depressed. They were in the same camp, but looking at their status, this person was regarded as a high and mighty lord, but what about themselves? The Vagrant Society, it sounded quite romantic, but after entering the government, they were the lowest level laborers!
"Hurry up, we need it urgently!" Gu Fei warned the three with a serious expression.
"Huh?" Drifting looked carefully, trying to see if Gu Fei was serious or just pretending to be serious and was making fun of the three.
"I'm not joking. We need to make a strategic arrangement. If we succeed, we may directly defeat the attacking side," said Gu Fei.
"Really?" The three of them were pleasantly surprised. They hurriedly sped up their work and said to Gu Fei, "It's almost done."
"This is your mission?" asked Gu Fei.
"Yes!" said Drifting.
"Did the system already predict that I would complete the mission, so it prepared in advance?" Gu Fei was surprised.
"Can you be more shameless? Our mission is our mission. Who said that we have to serve you? Isn't it normal to make a sand table in the war conference room? "said Drifting.
"You're right, you're right. Hurry up and work," said Gu Fei.
Drifting wasn't lying. The sand table was just a bit short. The three of them were now familiar with it, so they sped up and finished it quickly. Gu Fei looked at the realistic Cloud City on the map and asked the three of them, "Who made it? It looks like it! "
"Make? Do you think it's plasticine? " Drifting reached out and picked up the Cloud City. His left hand also demonstrated and picked up the entire Cloud Lake.
"So you guys are making puzzles!" Gu Fei laughed. He could see that these tools were directly given by the system.
"Most of them are!" Besides the puzzles, the three of them also had some manual work. They were doing it now, but it was quickly finished. Drifting reported to the NPC before. The NPC turned around and bowed to the Guard. Drifting was unhappy. His status was too low!
"Unrelated people, get out!" said the captain.
Gu Fei laughed again. He pointed at the three of them and said, "Unrelated people."
"F * ck, we're not going out. What can they do to us?" The three of them were angry. This was too unfair.
The NPC clearly understood this. The Guard pulled out their swords. The three of them saw that it was the system's power, so they didn't dare make a sound and quickly left. The door to the conference room was closed. The captain began to point at the sand table and explain to Gu Fei.
Gu Fei listened for a while and panicked, "Don't randomly poke around! Coordinates, do you have coordinates? "
However, the captain ignored him and continued to explain. After he finished, he raised his hand and inserted a small flag in the location he just mentioned. Gu Fei's eyes were sharp. He saw the coordinates on the small flag, but he didn't dare take it. He quickly sent it as a message.
"What?" The one who received the message was Sword Demon.
"Write down these coordinates. There will be a difficult task for everyone to carry out," said Gu Fei.
"What's the matter?" asked Sword Demon quickly.
Gu Fei didn't answer and didn't listen to the captain's explanation because he could already guess what he was going to say next. He opened the door to the conference room. Drifting and the other two immediately rolled in. The three of them were very rude and leaned against the door to eavesdrop!
"What are you doing?" The three of them were very unhappy. They thought that Gu Fei was deliberately messing with them. It was fine if the system looked down on them, but the players didn't give them any face either. This was too much.
"I'm looking for you! I have something to do! " Gu Fei took out five scrolls from his pocket and gave them. "Quick, take the scrolls. Find Sword Demon and form a team of five. Then, directly teleport out of the city. There's a new battle plan!"
"You set it up here?" The three of them were surprised.
"Yes!" Gu Fei nodded.
The three of them quickly left. They heard from Gu Fei that this was a major mission that could directly help the defending side win. Naturally, they were very active.
Gu Fei returned to the room. The captain continued to explain, but there was an extra flag on the sand table. Gu Fei looked at the location. As he expected, it was one of the resurrection camps of the attacking side. He immediately copied the coordinates on the flag and quickly sent them to Sword Demon.
"Do we first arrive at these coordinates? Then what? "Sword Demon asked.
"Find the manhole cover of the underground sewer and open it," Gu Fei said.
"Underground sewer? Manhole cover? "Sword Demon was puzzled.
"That's what it means. You get it, right? I promise you won't understand the language of the system. Drifting will bring the teleportation scroll over soon. Use the scroll to get out. The coordinates I made are a bit far from these places. Distribute them according to distance. It's best if you're a Thief! I think these locations might be a bit close to the resurrection camp of the attacking side. Be careful, "Gu Fei said.
"I still don't understand what you mean," Sword Demon said.
"We're going to flood their camp, so we have to open the manhole cover. Do you understand?" Gu Fei said.
"Directly destroy their camp?" Sword Demon was pleasantly surprised.
"Maybe! Hurry up! Thin Waist Dance and the other two are also outside the city. Contact them and help if you can. "Gu Fei said.
"Okay, I got it. We'll also test the city gate and sneak out if we can. "Sword Demon obviously didn't need to worry about commanding things like Gu Fei and continued to arrange things. Before Gu Fei finished his meeting, Sword Demon had already chosen people to teleport out. Although the captain hadn't finished marking all the flags, Gu Fei was already sure of one thing: they were all resurrection camps. So the people who teleported out split up and ran towards the camps first. When the flags were planted, Gu Fei would naturally copy the coordinates and send them to Sword Demon.
There were only five resurrection camps left in Gu Fei's mind, but the team leader still planted seven flags in the end. The two abandoned camps were also marked. Gu Fei didn't think it was necessary, so he didn't pay attention.
As soon as the captain finished explaining, Austin stood up again. "Now I'll tell you how to get to the engineering control hub."
"I know," Gu Fei said.
"You know? Hehe, you don't know, the engineering control hub is effectively hidden through a magic barrier. If you don't know the method, how can you find it? Listen carefully. " A cunning expression actually appeared on Austin's face. Then, his expression turned solemn. "The thickest pipe is seventeen squares to the north, fourteen squares to the west, eleven squares to the north, four squares to the west, and eight squares to the south …" Austin actually began to talk non-stop. Gu Fei was shocked. He hurriedly grabbed a pen and paper to jot it down. Fortunately, his memory was outstanding, and he was able to make up for the slight time difference between him and Austin. He wrote all the way from north 17 to west 14 to north 11. By the time Austin closed his mouth, he had written an entire page and a half.
"Go! My child! "Austin said.
"Qianli, get drunk, protect the main city, protect the people, for ideals, for freedom, for dignity …" The captain was still talking, but Gu Fei had already left with a teleportation scroll.
Returning directly to the cave entrance, Gu Fei immediately went in. He was cautious along the way, and even blew out the torch to avoid being exposed at the end. In the end, it was really dark, and the entire underground space was filled with players.
"How come there's no one?" Gu Fei was puzzled. He reignited the torch, still maintaining his vigilance, and started to descend the stone steps. When he was about to reach the end, Gu Fei cast two area of effect spells in front and to the side. In the end, under the illumination of the sea of flames, there really wasn't a single ambush.
"Huh, strange …" Gu Fei was puzzled. On the way here, he was still thinking about how to complete this mission of stepping on the grid. The mission was very difficult and fairly difficult. After all, the other side had nearly two thousand people, but Gu Fei had to try it. Who would have thought that when he came, the other side wouldn't give him a chance, and they all scattered?
"The mission is already finished? It's faster than me! With Ye Xiaowu's guidance, it's really convenient. "Gu Fei had already reached the bottom, mumbling as he walked towards the center. Soon, he arrived at the pile of pipes. Gu Fei walked in circles, looking for Austin's opening remark: the thickest pipe.
"Huh, why is there a dagger here?" Gu Fei saw a dagger stuck in one of the pipes, and was puzzled. He reached out to pull it out. But this was a dagger stuck in by a Strength 220 Bandit, and Gu Fei's strength was too insignificant. The dagger didn't move an inch. Gu Fei naturally couldn't help but bring up the old topic, and expressed his complaints about his pitiful strength. Little did he know that this insignificant strength had saved his life this time. If he could really pull out the dagger now, he would be sprayed to the 15th zone on the spot by the waste water.
"The thickest, the thickest." Gu Fei muttered, and finally found the thickest pipe. He then lit the torch on the ground to take a closer look. Sure enough, the ground was paved with unknown materials, and he could vaguely see a grid pattern.
"Seventeen squares to the north … North … Which is north?" Gu Fei was stunned. It was dark here, and he couldn't tell the direction directly. However, a game was a game, after all. It wasn't difficult to choose a standard direction by using coordinates and the span of the coordinate area, but he needed some data. Gu Fei immediately contacted Brother You. Brother You didn't hesitate to provide the data and calculations, and the length of the Night Streamer Sword, which Gu Fei accurately knew, became the measuring ruler. After more than ten minutes of practice and calculation, Gu Fei finally calculated the direction of north.
"Seventeen squares." Gu Fei hit the ground with the torch and began counting the squares as he walked. The grid pattern on the ground was very standard, but it was very convenient for Gu Fei. With Gu Fei's foundation in martial arts, it was very easy for him to control the distance of his steps. After familiarizing himself with the size of the grid, he no longer needed to use the torch to illuminate the ground. Step by step, Gu Fei firmly believed that he wouldn't make a mistake.
After seventeen squares, he continued in the same direction. This time, he changed directions, but the size of the grid didn't change. Gu Fei didn't even need to adjust his steps. Step by step, after suddenly walking four squares to the west, the grid that Gu Fei stepped on suddenly lit up with a white light, but the brilliance was fleeting. After the white light faded, only a smear of light was left on the grid, but it was especially eye-catching in the dark environment.
Gu Fei didn't stop and continued walking. Similarly, after completing a certain step, the grid that he stepped on would shine with a smear of light. The one-and-a-half page of steps was finally completed by Gu Fei. When he stepped on the last grid, under his feet, as well as the previously shining grid, a pillar of light rose up. The pillars of light were connected to each other, crisscrossing to form a net.
Gu Fei couldn't figure out what was going on and took a few steps back. Looking at the formation from a distance, he suddenly felt that it was a little familiar. It was very similar to the Teleportation Scrolls that Gu Fei frequently used.
"Could it be that I'm teleporting somewhere like this?" Gu Fei muttered in his heart. After carefully observing, he discovered that the mystery between the pillars of light was that there was still a focal point where the light converged. That location was the starting point where Gu Fei stepped on everything: the thick water pipe.
At this time, the thick water pipe seemed to be attracting the light from several pillars of light, and it itself was getting brighter and brighter. The light went from low to high, and finally, the entire thick water pipe became incomparably bright, reflecting the center of this underground space in a deathly white color. As for the surrounding pillars of light, although they were still there, under this kind of illumination, they seemed to have lost their luster.
Gu Fei also didn't know what to do next. He silently cursed the Great Magician and took a step back into the formation, ready to study it.
Who knew that as soon as he stepped into the formation, he would feel an irresistible suction coming from the thick water pipe. In a great shock, Gu Fei found that he was completely unable to resist. He turned his head and tried to teleport, wanting to teleport out first. Who knew that this teleportation was aimed at a distance of six meters, but he only took two steps before he reached the edge of the light pillar formation and was intercepted. Gu Fei knew that this was some kind of system setting, so he simply didn't resist and walked along with the suction. Seeing that he was about to hit the thick water pipe, but it still didn't stop, Gu Fei was at a loss as he found that he was actually beginning to sink into the thick water pipe …
"What the hell is this?" There was nothing but light in front of Gu Fei's eyes. He was only puzzled for a moment before he was finally engulfed by the light. All the pillars of light had disappeared at this moment, and the light in front of Gu Fei also disappeared. Focusing his eyes, he found that he was in a circular space that looked like some kind of control platform.
