Gu Fei hesitated for a moment, but Yutian Shenming and Unscathed In Battle had already stood up. They enjoyed doing things with beautiful women, no matter what they did. The two of them stopped Gu Fei. "Qianli, Qianli, there's no need to trouble you with this kind of small matter. Killing and robbing are your arts. You can stay and practice!"
"You two go to the side." Gu Fei was infuriated. If Xi Xiaotian was here to deceive everyone in the room, these two fellows would undoubtedly be the easiest to fall for. If he were to smile at them, they would probably lose their consciousness. If he asked them to follow Xi Xiaotian, it would be the same as not following him at all.
"I'll go take a look." Gu Fei turned around and told everyone before following Xi Xiaotian. Yutian Shenming and Unscathed In Battle tried to follow them, but with Gu Fei between them, the two felt that it would be pointless. Thus, they tactfully stayed behind.
"Where are we going?" Gu Fei asked Xi Xiaotian.
"To pick up some custom-made items." Xi Xiaotian said.
"What items?"
"Scamming equipment." Xi Xiaotian smiled. "Did I disgust you again?"
Gu Fei was speechless. How should he put it? This was a skill that he looked down on, but at this time, they needed to use this skill. He couldn't help but think of that unbearably vulgar saying. Whether a gun was good or bad depended on who held it in their hands. But this time, was it good or bad? Gu Fei couldn't say for sure. He only understood one thing. It was Ying Qi who caused trouble for everyone. There was no place for reasoning in the game. This kind of thing could only be solved by themselves. Honestly speaking, Gu Fei liked this method. If it was just a simple PK, then it would be perfect. But this time, it was an opponent that couldn't be of much use in PK. This made Gu Fei feel helpless. On the other hand, Xi Xiaotian was like a fish in water in such a situation. Gu Fei's displeasure rose by several levels.
"Let's go!" Gu Fei ignored Xi Xiaotian and urged her to hurry up.
"Aren't we walking!" Xi Xiaotian muttered as she led Gu Fei through the streets of Cloud City. Soon, they arrived at the old district of Cloud City. As its name suggested, the Old City District was dilapidated and old. The NPCs who moved about here were all scantily clad, looking like refugees who had been stranded in this place. The scenery here was ugly, and the people here were ugly. It was the most desolate and lifeless area in Cloud City. Unless they were forced by a quest, no one would come here. Gu Fei, who had gone through all the streets of Cloud City, had never been here before. He looked at the scene in surprise. It was completely different from his impression of Cloud City. He almost suspected that he and Xi Xiaotian used a teleportation scroll to change places.
"Where is this?" Gu Fei couldn't help but ask.
"Broken District! You've never been here before? "The old district was called the Broken District by Cloud City players.
"No." Gu Fei looked around.
"Then it can only mean that you've never done quests in the game." Xi Xiaotian said. Although no one liked to come to the old district, there were still a few quests with generous rewards that would send players to this place. Unexpectedly, he hadn't done any of these quests … There were only two possibilities for a player over level 40. First, he wasn't a player from Cloud City. Second, he was a drunk Qianli.
This was the first time Gu Fei returned to the old district. He was somewhat curious. Not only were the houses broken, but there was also a foul smell in the air from time to time. The NPCs here were also disgusting. People wouldn't feel the slightest bit of pity for them living in such a harsh environment. One had to know that there were many sad NPCs in the game that made people cry. It was because they were all fake that they were designed to be pitiful and emotional. Wouldn't they feel anything if they knew they were fake? Then the TV and movies wouldn't trick people into laughing and crying.
However, the old district wasn't such a place. This place seemed to be designed to make people feel disgusted. It really wasn't a place that would make people feel the slightest bit of joy.
"What are we doing here!" Gu Fei was curious. Like any other player, he didn't have a good impression of this place.
"To find someone." Xi Xiaotian said.
"Someone, or an NPC?" Gu Fei needed to confirm. He didn't think that anyone would be willing to meet someone in this kind of place.
"People." In the end, Xi Xiaotian's answer surprised Gu Fei.
Gu Fei didn't waste any more time and followed behind Xi Xiaotian. They arrived at a dilapidated courtyard where the walls were already burnt black. Xi Xiaotian seemed to be very familiar with the place. He walked directly to a part of the wall that was missing a tooth, stood on tiptoe, and poked his head in. "Bam bam, I'm here. Are you there?"
"Yes." A reply came from the courtyard. Xi Xiaotian jumped back and continued to walk to the side. There was a hole in the wall in front of them. A person stood out and waved at Xi Xiaotian.
"Han Bang Bang." Xi Xiaotian walked up and introduced the person to Gu Fei.
"Hello." Gu Fei nodded.
"Do you recognize me?" Xi Xiaotian asked Han Bang Bang with a smile.
"Qianli Drunk?" Han Bang Bang looked at Gu Fei. A black-cloaked mage, and Xi Xiaotian intentionally asked this question. Obviously, he was a famous person. A famous black-cloaked mage would be an idiot if he didn't guess Qianli Drunk.
"Come, come in!" Han Bang Bang led the two into the courtyard.
"Where … is this?" Gu Fei was confused. Could this courtyard be considered a property? Did it belong to Han Bang Bang? A place like this should be the cheapest in Cloud City, right?
"The houses in the city are too expensive. We can't afford it, so we can only stay in this place. It's pretty secluded. Boss Qianli, please don't tell anyone about me! " The last sentence was obviously a joke. It was obvious that he trusted Xi Xiaotian very much. Thus, he began to trust the people Xi Xiaotian brought with him. "Love me, love my dog, love my dog.
Gu Fei immediately saw the yard full of junk after entering the courtyard. There were wood shavings, paper scraps, and all kinds of strange materials that Gu Fei didn't recognize. Han Bang Bang went straight to a huge rock. The rock was about half the height of a person. It was very flat, and there were a lot of things on it. It looked like a table. Halfway there, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and she turned around and said, "Boss Qian Li, I've heard about your Nightstreak for a long time. I wonder if you can show it to me?"
"Sure!" Gu Fei took out the Night Streamer from his pocket. After taking a look at the map, Han Pudding ran over to a pile of broken wood and rummaged through it a few times. She then ran back to Gu Fei's side. She held something in her hand and compared it to the Night Streamer Sword. She shook her head and said, "Damn it, I knew those drawings weren't reliable. The difference is too big. The dimensions aren't right!"
Gu Fei almost fainted when he saw it. Han Bang Bang was holding a wooden sword, but it was obviously modeled after his Night Streamer. It was also colored. At first glance, Gu Fei was a little confused. However, after taking a closer look, he noticed that there were obvious differences in the size of the two swords. This was especially true for the Nightstream Sword, which was an exquisite piece of equipment. Han Pudong's wooden sword didn't have a single bit of that glow.
Han Bang Bang also noticed the problem. He touched the Night Streamer and said, "Ah, is this the unique glow of a top-tier equipment? This is the first time I've seen such a dark purple color. This is really a challenge. "
"You … What do you do?" Gu Fei was more or less aware, but he still couldn't help but ask.
Han Putuan did not answer. He continued to study the Night Streamer in Gu Fei's hand until Gu Fei put the sword back into his pocket. Han Putuan finally withdrew his gaze, but he did not answer Gu Fei's question. Instead, he quickly took out a small notebook from his pocket and began to write on it while muttering to himself. At that moment, Gu Fei really thought he had been possessed by Brother You.
"Who is he?" Gu Fei turned to look at Xi Xiaotian.
"It's just as you thought, a counterfeit." Xi Xiaotian said.
"F * ck!" Gu Fei couldn't help but blurt out. As a teacher, he normally tried to avoid saying these kinds of words. As he spoke, he walked around and discovered that Han Putuan's skills were quite extraordinary. There were quite a few of his creations buried in the trash around him. The equipment made out of wood actually looked like top-tier equipment with a layer of glow on it. Players who were familiar with top-tier equipment would be able to tell the difference if they looked closely. However, Gu Fei could not understand how this effect could be artificially created.
After Han Putuan finished writing in his notebook, he moved to Gu Fei's side and said, "Boss Qianli, I heard that you have a Wanted License? Can you … "
"No!" Gu Fei's face darkened. Gu Fei had unintentionally become an accomplice to the counterfeits. He really wanted to chop this guy up. However, when he thought about it, Han Putuan's craftsmanship and level probably had nothing to do with it. So what if he killed him? Destroy his counterfeit workshop? This thought popped into Gu Fei's mind again. It was obvious that Han Putuan needed to be discreet, but he couldn't afford a private house in the game, so he could only hide in a run-down courtyard in the old city. When Gu Fei arrived, he didn't see a single NPC around. Even players who were doing quests wouldn't set foot here, so he made this place look like his private house.
"Don't think too much about it." At this time, Xi Xiaotian finally came over and said, "Peng Peng is just a craftsman. His products are mainly for the sake of people like us. We're the ones who take them to the market to cheat. It has nothing to do with him. It's not a problem for him to make equipment out of wood, is it? "
"This …" Gu Fei was speechless for a moment. He didn't know what to say to this counterfeit enthusiast in front of him. Humans loved to make knock-offs, and in the end, knock-offs were used by others to cheat others. This was another messy account. Everyone was responsible, but it was impossible to stop it. Even if the counterfeit workshop was exposed, it wouldn't stop Han Putuan from going back to his old business. Moreover, this guy seemed to be highly valued by the scammers. If he was forced into a corner, the scammers would jointly invest in a property for him. What could they do then? Game simulation caused problems in all aspects. That Ye Xiaowu always complained that his Kung Fu destroyed the balance, but what about this craftsman? The Night Streak Sword made from a piece of wood was almost as good as the real thing. What about this craftsman?
Of course, at least he couldn't make the stats of the equipment in the game. If the buyer really wanted to appraise it seriously, he wouldn't be fooled. It all depended on the skills of the scammers like Xi Xiaotian.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll expose your tricks by bringing me to a place like this?" Gu Fei glared at Xi Xiaotian.
"Expose? Do you really not know or are you just pretending to not know? This kind of scam is already at the granddaddy level. In the online gaming circle, it's been around since the birth of online games. Be careful and make sure when you make a transaction. Is this the kind of reminder you give when you expose your tricks? What a pity. This kind of reminder has been around for who knows how many years, but there are still people who fall for it. Even in the parallel world, this kind of thing has long been exposed, but what happened in the end? Putuan's business is even better … Exposing scams sometimes turns into teaching material for scams. Isn't that embarrassing? "said Xi Xiaotian.
Gu Fei had to admit that Xi Xiaotian's words made sense. Since someone was doing this kind of shady business, they must have exposed it before, but Han Putuan was still doing very well and seemed to be as busy as ever. It was obvious that the exposure didn't put an end to it at all. Perhaps this problem could only be solved by the intervention of the game developers and completely removing people like Han Putuan from the game.
But … Gu Fei looked at Han Putuan. Han Putuan was holding the notes he had taken after looking at Gu Fei's Night Streak Sword. He was currently holding his counterfeit sword and pondering over it. From time to time, a confused expression would appear on his face. But no matter what, the concentration on his face made it easy to see how much he enjoyed it. Was he scamming people? No, he wasn't. He liked to make these kinds of imitations, but these kinds of imitations were useless. Which player in the game would be willing to buy such an imitation for their collection? In the end, his talent was discovered by scammers with bad intentions.
Suddenly, Gu Fei felt a wave of sorrow, the sorrow of learning something useless. This sorrow was very familiar.
He just wanted to have an environment where he could practice his martial arts, but Han Bianduan probably wanted to be appreciated by others for the things he loved, right? Did he really need to destroy it?
Although Gu Fei repeatedly warned himself that it was completely different from whether what he did was right or wrong, when he saw Han Putuan's focused eyes, Gu Fei avoided it and even restrained himself. When he saw Han Putuan's puzzled expression, he even had the urge to lend the Night Streak Sword to Han Putuan so that he could take a good look at it.
Gu Fei even thought of himself. He used his Kungfu without restraint in the game. Although he tried his best to limit it to the Wanted Quest mode, his skills in city battles and mercenary group battles also caused a lot of trouble for others. Although there were no losses when players died in those modes, to be more precise, they would not lose levels or equipment in normal PvP environments. In a competition like that, they would lose points if they died. They would lose the chance to win the competition. How could that not be a loss?
Was there any difference between the effects he caused and the scammers who used Han Putuan's products to deceive people?
Han Putuan relied on her craftsmanship to create a scam industry, while Han Fei relied on his martial arts to determine the outcome of a battle. In fact, most of the players who were defeated because of him weren't hateful people. Most of them were just ordinary players who weren't much different from his friends. There was no good or evil in this world. Everyone was the same. It was just a game …
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Xi Xiaotian went to get Han Putuan's things after he finished speaking. When he turned around, Gu Fei was still in a daze.
"Nothing, just something on my mind." Gu Fei said.
"Even Violent Flying has something on his mind?" Xi Xiaotian asked.
"Who doesn't?" Gu Fei said.
"What's on your mind?"
"Just because it's a game, you can do whatever you want. That's too simple …" Gu Fei said.
"I know. That's why you can't do whatever you want. You want to PK, but you've always been doing wanted quests, right?" Xi Xiaotian said.
"If only that was the case … But I've been involved in too many battles. Maybe I'm indeed a spoiler." Gu Fei said.
"What do you mean by 'also'?" Xi Xiaotian said.
"Aren't you?" Gu Fei asked.
"Fine … Me too. I'm much worse than you." Xi Xiaotian said.
"Of course."
"I hope you can be modest." Xi Xiaotian said.
"I don't need to be modest in front of the truth."
"Violent Flying!"
"Liar God!"
They looked at each other and walked closer to each other. Slowly … You're wrong. That's not true. Ahem, that's not true.
"When do I come to get the things?" Xi Xiaotian turned around and asked Han Putuan.
"About four hours!" Han Putuan said.
"Okay, I'll come back in four hours." Xi Xiaotian said, indicating that Gu Fei could leave.
"What do you want from him?" Gu Fei asked.
"Reporter's ID." Xi Xiaotian said.
"What?"
"Reporter's ID. You've been interviewed by Duo Mumuduo. It seems like they didn't show it to you. I've found out that all the reporters stationed in the game have reporter's ID. Moreover, this thing is created by the game's system and has a serial number. It's very useful. In some special times, you can even use it to apply for PK protection. It's just that if they're interviewing private players, like you, they won't be too wary, so they don't need to show their ID to prove their identity. That's why many players don't know about this. But in reality, this is the only proof of being an online reporter from a parallel world. As a studio, Ying Qi should know about the existence of a reporter's ID. Moreover, they wouldn't overlook this detail that normal players wouldn't care about. It's easy to fool them with a reporter's ID. "Xi Xiaotian said.
"It can't be? Since it's something given by the system, it'll be easy to see through it if you look carefully. "Gu Fei said.
"At the very least, we should first see the effects of a real reporter's ID before making a conclusion." Xi Xiaotian said.
"Where are we going to find one?"
"Please, can't you just borrow Duo Mumuduo's ID to take a look?" Xi Xiaotian said.
"But what's the use of this?" Gu Fei didn't understand.
"It won't be long before you understand." Xi Xiaotian smiled.
