Chapter 153 A Good Plan

Jiang Jinjiu and San Shili Wai were quite awkward. Being surrounded wasn't scary, what was scary was that everyone around them had that "caught in the act" look. The two of them felt like they were about to throw up from being stared at.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Jinjiu asked.

"To deal with Qianli Yizui and Jian Gui. I got a tip from a good friend that those two had a mission that brought them here. It's our only lead at the moment." The "good friend" that Han Jia Gongzi was referring to was naturally You Ge. Although You Ge didn't know exactly what Gu Fei and Jian Gui had done at the Yun Jiao lakeside, he knew their mission had taken them there. After Han Jia Gongzi extracted this information, he figured that according to the mission rules of Parallel World, repeating tasks in the same place was common, so he brought people here to wait for them to show up.

But instead of rabbits, they heard that Qianli Yizui and Duijiu Dange had a big fight, and had fought all the way from the mission pit to the Yun Ling area. This intelligence made Han Jia Gongzi even more confident that Gu Fei was on a mission. He understood Nilu Ershang's habits; he would never actively provoke Gu Fei. At the same time, he also knew Gu Fei's temperament. Don't let his aggressive killing fool you; he never offended anyone unless they offended him first, even though the game rules now encouraged him to actively offend people. So, for these two to fight, there must have been some conflict, and a system-generated mission conflict was undoubtedly the best explanation...

Although Han Jia Gongzi's reasoning wasn't entirely accurate, the conclusion he reached was correct. Gu Fei was indeed busy with a mission. So, they continued to stay put while also sending people to Yun Ling to see what was going on. Before long, Yin Feng and his group arrived suspiciously.

Han Jia Gongzi had guarded the pit mission before and recognized Yin Feng, as well as the NPC Gilkino. The moment he saw this combination appear, he concluded that Duijiu Dange's mission had changed. Otherwise, Duijiu Dange wouldn't have sent only a few people to escort the mission. Even if it was a feint, there should have been some well-known experts from Duijiu Dange among these few. Therefore, Han Jia Gongzi concluded that Yin Feng had left the guild and was likely secretly bought out, with the aim of seizing the mission he had discovered.

Han Jia Gongzi hid in the house and observed the group's actions while giving coordinates, ensuring that Cai Yun Jian's ambushes in the grass remained hidden. Like when Jiang Jinjiu and San Shili Wai made a commotion, attracting Yin Feng's attention, and one person covered it up by pretending to be with a girl, that was also a reaction Han Jia Gongzi made in an instant.

"See, I knew that Qianli Yizui's mission would definitely bring them back here," Han Jia Gongzi said to Gu Xiaoshang.

"Knowing that is enough. We'll wait for them to come," Gu Xiaoshang said, full of fighting spirit. She didn't like the twists and turns of guild politics, but she thought ambushing in the grass was perfectly fair and reasonable.

"It's a waste not to take the mission..."

"We said we're not interested!" Gu Xiaoshang said impatiently. She hadn't realized Han Jia Gongzi could be so long-winded.

"I didn't say you had to take it," Han Jia Gongzi said, turning to Jiang Jinjiu. "Go ahead, there's a mission in the house."

"The mission is for us?" San Shili Wai was overjoyed. He really did love the guild after all.

"It's not to take the mission, it's to be cannon fodder," Jiang Jinjiu said, telling San Shili Wai not to get too excited.

"It's okay, there's no loss if you die," Han Jia Gongzi reassured him.

"Everyone knows there's no loss, but going up against Qianli Yizui will ruin your mood," Jiang Jinjiu said.

San Shili Wai nodded. "That makes sense. The Guild Leader must be in a bad mood right now."

"That's why you should take on a big mission to make him happy. San Li Wai, you go," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"It's San Shili Wai," San Shili Wai said gloomily.

"Sanbai Li Wai is fine too, just go take it!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Alright! I'll go!" San Shili Wai puffed out his chest, revealing his half-hearted red heart for the guild.

"You take the mission, and we'll help you complete it. How wonderful," Han Jia Gongzi praised his decision.

"Easier said than done! Using the mission-taker as bait to confirm Qianli Yizui's location is the real reason, isn't it!" Jiang Jinjiu said.

"That's right, so those who don't take the mission have no value. Come on, throw him into the lake," Han Jia Gongzi said.

Jiang Jinjiu was shocked and tried to run, but where could he go? There wasn't a single NPC around Yun Jiao lakeside, only this small wooden house had the aura of a mission, so as soon as Han Jia Gongzi arrived, he paid close attention to this place. Sure enough, Yin Feng and the others headed straight for it. He had already secretly deployed most of his people from around the lake near the small wooden house. Jiang Jinjiu still wanted to run, but countless figures stood up around him, squeezed over, and captured him alive.

"You're not serious, are you!" Jiang Jinjiu's face changed slightly.

"We've known each other for quite a while. I always keep my word. If I say I'm going to throw you into the lake, I'm going to throw you into the lake. Throw him!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

The Cai Yun Jian players probably hadn't done anything this bad before and found it very exciting. Many people came to fight for the chance. In the end, four strong warriors won the opportunity. They grabbed Jiang Jinjiu by his arms and legs, lifted him up, and with a "one, two, three," Jiang Jinjiu flew through the air in an arc and splashed into the lake...

"They really threw him..." Many spectators, even many Cai Yun Jian members, were stunned.

The waves on the lake were still churning. The lakeside was quiet for a moment. Suddenly, half a body emerged from the lake with a splash. Jiang Jinjiu wiped the water from his face and roared, "Han Jia Gongzi, you have guts!"

"Guard the shore, don't let him come up. If he comes up, throw him back in," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Grandpa, I was wrong..." Jiang Jinjiu finally gave in.

"Alright, Sanbai Li Wai, go take the mission!" Han Jia Gongzi said amiably, patting the dazed San Shili Wai.

This time, San Shili Wai didn't bother correcting his name and quickly ran into the house. He leaned out a moment later and said, "Got it. The mission says to find clues."

"The clues must be on Qianli Yizui or Jian Gui," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Are we going to try to get the mission items from them?" someone asked.

"Don't worry, our goal isn't to complete the mission, it's to eliminate those two," Han Jia Gongzi said.

San Shili Wai was in tears. Weren't they supposed to help him complete the mission? How did the goal change in the blink of an eye? While he was feeling depressed, he heard Han Jia Gongzi point at him and add, "Keep an eye on him, don't let him run away. I suggest tying him up."

"I'm staying in the house, I'm not going anywhere, okay!" Today, San Shili Wai had witnessed Han Jia Gongzi's methods firsthand. As rumored, he was cruel and terrifying.

"Everyone, continue to lie in wait!" Han Jia Gongzi said, entering the small wooden house. It was a good hiding place. He could observe many directions from the corner of the window, while it was difficult for people outside to spot anyone inside. Han Jia Gongzi entered the house, and San Shili Wai shrank to the side in fear. Han Jia Gongzi ignored him and turned to see Gu Xiaoshang following him into the house.

"We can be sure that Qianli Yizui and Jian Gui will come here," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Yeah, sooner or later," Gu Xiaoshang said, looking out the window at Jiang Jinjiu, who was still floundering in the lake. "Are you just going to leave him like that?"

"Of course not," Han Jia Gongzi said. "Splashing around like that makes him too obvious a target. Pull him up, tie him up, and throw him in the grass."

"You're so heartless!" Gu Xiaoshang said. She thought Han Jia Gongzi was having a change of heart. She was too superficial. This man's heart was the opposite of his appearance.

"Sanbai Li Wai, how long did it take you to run here from Yun Ling?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

"About half an hour... I'm called San Shili Wai," San Shili Wai said.

"Change it. Sanbai is more imposing," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Next time, next time," San Shili Wai said.

"Have you sent a message to Nilu Ershang yet?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

"Not yet!" San Shili Wai exclaimed in shock.

"Not yet? So you were planning to?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

"..." San Shili Wai was speechless. He was indeed considering whether to inform the Guild Leader of the situation here.

"Don't do that," Han Jia Gongzi said. "Duijiu Dange is very powerful. If they come out, we'll be nervous. If we're nervous, we'll slip up. If we slip up, we'll hit you. If we hit you, you'll die. If you die, the mission is gone. As a result, the guild will listen to you and waste a lot of people's time and energy. That's not good, understand?"

"I... I understand. But Jiang Jinjiu..." San Shili Wai was now afraid that Jiang Jinjiu would spill the beans.

"Don't worry, I think he's a bit smarter than you. He can figure it out himself," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"You're so despicable!" Gu Xiaoshang couldn't stand it anymore.

"What can I do? Guild Leader Gu, you don't want to take the mission, so we have to grab passersby to do it. If we don't analyze the pros and cons, we're afraid they won't put their heart into it!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Cut it out!" Gu Xiaoshang rolled her eyes.

The Yun Jiao lakeside temporarily returned to peace. At this time, a certain revival camp was a lively scene. First, Shuxia Wangtian led his Shuxia Youhun group to revive in the camp. Although they were wiped out, they felt great. He believed that Duijiu Dange hadn't seen through their plan, so the mission wouldn't be lost. But soon, Shuxia Wangtian discovered Liu Yue among them, and cursed inwardly. This man had seen through all their plans, a major loophole.

But no matter how much they schemed in the game, there was no way to shut other people up. Shuxia Wangtian could only pray anxiously while secretly wondering if he should offer some benefits to buy him off. Buying people off was also an art. Randomly making offers to strangers was very unprofessional. Not everyone was greedy for money, and even those who were required different chips. It was actually an investment, to use the smallest investment possible to get the ideal return. So, before sending benefits, you had to figure out the other person's personality, psychology, and needs to get the best results. For example, giving a warrior a mage's staff was a very failed move. Even if the staff was worth ten thousand gold, it wouldn't move him from the bottom of his heart. If it was a heavy sword worth ten thousand gold, he would be instantly tempted.

Shuxia Wangtian was experienced in this, so he didn't rush to do it. He went up and chatted casually with Liu Yue, and didn't find any hostility from him. Shuxia Wangtian had an idea and asked Liu Yue about his position in the guild, and then casually asked if he had any intention of changing guilds. A look of embarrassment flashed across Liu Yue's face. Shuxia Wangtian had an idea, and asked him about it. It turned out that he had too many guild points, so he was reluctant to leave...

At this point, Shuxia Wangtian was completely relieved. This Liu Yue seemed to have a problem with the guild and was already thinking of leaving. Too many guild points had become a burden. Shuxia Wangtian guessed that he had no intention of reporting his findings to the guild.

Never mind, I'll take a gamble! Shuxia Wangtian thought. Sending benefits wasn't foolproof. Sending them to someone as loyal as Jian Gui would result in a direct rejection. Sending them to someone as treacherous as Han Jia Gongzi would result in a smiling acceptance followed by constant blackmail, a bottomless pit. Meeting Gu Fei, who was both loyal and treacherous, would result in him taking the benefits and then killing you... In short, there were no good endings. So, whether to send them or not was a gamble. Shuxia Wangtian observed Liu Yue's state and felt that not sending them also had a chance, so he would rather gamble on this opportunity to get something for nothing.

Shuxia Wangtian had an informant in Duijiu Dange. While inquiring about the Duijiu Dange guild, he kept in touch with Yin Feng and gradually dispelled his doubts. At this time, the level of conflict between Gu Fei and Duijiu Dange continued to rise. Thieves and archers from Duijiu Dange began to appear in the revival camp, which was gratifying to the Shuxia Youhun members.

Some of these people recognized the Shuxia Youhun as the guys who had taken their mission. They weren't like Liu Yue, who was already disillusioned. They immediately attacked. The revival camp during the city war was different from the usual revival point in that it was just a revival point where you could log off, but it was definitely not a safe zone. This was great for PK chasing. Kill on the spot, revive nearby, still on the spot, then chase and kill again. The only drawback was that it was all for nothing, with no loss.

But the Duijiu Dange people just wanted to vent their anger and didn't care so much. They chased and killed the Shuxia Youhun members. The problem was that the Shuxia Youhun members didn't wear guild badges, and they were all strangers to each other, so Duijiu Dange didn't recognize them all. So, they caught some that they could recognize and killed them mercilessly. The more they killed, the more familiar they became. The Shuxia Youhun members couldn't run away. If they left the camp and were killed, they would return here. One thing couldn't be ignored: the Duijiu Dange members who were returning were all thieves and archers, and there were more and more of them. These two classes had no problem chasing any other class.

Kill, kill, kill, constantly kill, kill, kill. Shuxia Wangtian was unlucky and was recognized. He was tortured alive. He was a semi-expert and had even tried to fight back and kill his opponents, but he couldn't match the number of people. Shuxia Wangtian had to admit that he hadn't expected this situation at all. He thought that they would be carefree when they died and came back, but he didn't expect that Duijiu Dange would be sent back by a large number of players.

Shuxia Wangtian resigned himself to his fate and let the Duijiu Dange people torment him. He continued to keep in touch with Yin Feng and the others. Knowing that they were doing well was a great comfort to him.

With such efficient speed-killing, some could die three times in a minute. Finally, Shuxia Wangtian suddenly received a system message in the guild channel: Player Xiaoxiao Zhuanglie Xisheng (Sacrificed Heroically), exited the city war.

Shuxia Wangtian was shocked. He didn't know what was going on and quickly contacted Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao had exited the city war, but she was still there, still being tortured by the Duijiu Dange people. She also saw the message while being killed repeatedly and was also confused. Could it be that she had been killed too many times? Xiaoxiao was a fragile mage and was killed easily.

Who knew that Xiaoxiao was just the beginning. Following that, Shuxia Wangtian received the same message in the guild channel one after another. After receiving the message that the fifth person had died heroically and exited the city war, Shuxia Wangtian, who didn't know how many times he had died, suddenly found that the Duijiu Dange people had stopped killing. Their members had left the camp and headed in a certain direction.

Rumors were also spreading at this time, from Duijiu Dange being defeated by Qianli Yizui alone, to Qianli Yizui single-handedly destroying the entire Duijiu Dange guild, and even rumors of Nilu Ershang kneeling and begging for mercy.

Shuxia Wangtian had learned from his informant that Duijiu Dange was chasing Qianli Yizui. He never thought that he would be killed instead. So, all these archers and thieves who had died and returned were killed by Qianli Yizui alone? Shuxia Wangtian regretted it. He should have been open and honest with him and built a relationship. Now, he had plotted against him... Shuxia Wangtian felt that he had made the mistake of picking up a watermelon and losing a sesame seed.

The five guild members who had exited hadn't figured out what was going on. Everyone initially guessed that maybe they had died too many times. In that case, it turned out that there was an upper limit to the number of deaths in the city war. Reaching the limit meant complete death and exiting the city war. The problem was that everyone had been killed so dizzy that no one had bothered to count how many times they had died.

"Oh no, how many more times can I die?" At this time, everyone who was still in the city war was wondering how long they had left before they reached their limit.

"It's okay, we still have the mission," Shuxia Wangtian was comforting himself with this when suddenly a white light flashed in front of him. Yin Feng and the others appeared in front of him.

"You... you..." Shuxia Wangtian was speechless.

"Cai Yun Jian, Cai Yun Jian received information from somewhere and ambushed us there!" Yin Feng said.

"Impossible." Shuxia Wangtian looked at Yin Feng and denied it flatly. "Cai Yun Jian wouldn't do such a thing. What exactly happened?"

"It's... it's Han Jia Gongzi," Yin Feng sighed.

"Han Jia Gongzi from the Gongzi Elite group? Didn't he leave Duijiu Dange?"

"But he appeared there, with the Cai Yun Jian people, I don't know what they were up to, but they solved us. He claimed that they were preparing to ambush Qianli Yizui and Jian Gui."
