Chapter 100 Encounters at the Entrance

The two met at the entrance of the courtyard. Liu Feng San Tan recognized Yan Xiao Zhu just as she recognized him. They were both considered celebrities, one a top ten player, the other a Seven Leisure member. They weren't exactly friends, more like acquaintances who nodded in greeting.

At this moment, they simply nodded to each other. Yan Xiao Zhu was very enthusiastic towards Piaoliu, calling out a crisp "Brother Piaoliu." Piaoliu smiled at her, but was observing Gu Fei: "What are you doing here!"

"Haha, just wandering around," Gu Fei said, and then greeted the two who were always with Piaoliu, "Hi! Left Hand, Right Hand." Gu Fei just called out randomly, as he still wasn't confident in accurately distinguishing which was Left Hand and which was Right Hand.

"And this is..." Liu Feng San Tan was also curious about Gu Fei's unfamiliar face.

So Piaoliu introduced him. Gu Fei's reputation was currently the most resounding in the game, a legendary existence surpassing the Five Strongest. Liu Feng San Tan was immediately respectful and expressed his admiration upon hearing this.

Gu Fei was also hastily polite, not daring to be rude. Finally, Liu Feng San Tan asked: "Are you two here for something? If there's anything you need help with, just say so!" Liu Feng San Tan was purely well-intentioned. He was, of course, very clear about what kind of treatment strangers entering this area would receive from their guild. However, Gu Fei knew that what he was about to do was likely to mess with them. Their tasks were all issued by Giordano. If he killed Giordano, wouldn't their task completion be deducted by 1000 points? So the more polite Liu Feng San Tan was to him at this moment, the more embarrassed he felt, and he decided to quickly avoid establishing any connections with this person.

Just as he was preparing to say a few casual words and leave, Yan Xiao Zhu became overly enthusiastic. She felt that being able to directly connect with the guild leader was a great opportunity, and she opened her mouth to say: "That's perfect, Guild Leader Liu Feng! Ouch!!!"

Yan Xiao Zhu suddenly screamed halfway through her sentence. Gu Fei had suddenly pinched her next to her. Gu Fei was afraid that the strength wouldn't be enough to alert the girl, so he pinched an acupoint, and also thought that his mage strength was weak, so he used all his strength. Yan Xiao Zhu had been slashed by monsters countless times in this game, but she had never experienced such a strong pain, and she screamed on the spot. Turning her head to question Gu Fei, Gu Fei sent her a message at the same time with a meaningful look: "Don't speak."

Yan Xiao Zhu wasn't stupid either. After seeing this message, she guessed that Gu Fei might have other plans. Fortunately, Gu Fei's pinch wasn't the kind of continuous damage in the game, and the pain came and went quickly. Yan Xiao Zhu didn't take it to heart and immediately closed her mouth. But everyone had heard half of what she said, and Liu Feng San Tan on the opposite side was staring at her in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Gu Fei also looked at her with a surprised expression, very much acting the part. Yan Xiao Zhu gave a dry laugh and said: "Haha, it's nothing. I just suddenly realized that Guild Leader Liu Feng, you're so handsome today. Let's go, let's go!" Yan Xiao Zhu grabbed Gu Fei and fled, afraid that people would continue to question her and she wouldn't know how to answer.

Liu Feng San Tan was left confused, and Piaoliu laughed beside him: "Hehe, a little girl, strange."

"Uh, yes, yes!" Liu Feng San Tan quickly returned to normal, with a mature adult look on his face.

Gu Fei and Yan Xiao Zhu hurried away, and only after they disappeared into the mist and couldn't see those people anymore did they breathe a sigh of relief. Yan Xiao Zhu immediately complained to Gu Fei: "I was almost killed by you."

"Hehe, thanks for your trouble," Gu Fei said.

"Then tell me, why didn't you let me mention it to Liu Feng San Tan? It was such a good opportunity. Or, do you have something to hide?" Yan Xiao Zhu emphasized the words "something to hide," clearly guessing that this was the case.

"It's nothing, it's none of your business. Go on, go find your sister to play!" Gu Fei said.

"Hey, hey! You can't do that! Kicking people aside after you're done with them, how can you be so shameless?" Yan Xiao Zhu said.

This kid's vocabulary is really a mess. What does "after you're done with them" mean? It's really awkward. Gu Fei thought, while saying: "The main thing was to consult you about some things. Now that the consultation is over, I express my high appreciation to you. As for the rest, I can do it myself."

Yan Xiao Zhu saw that Gu Fei was clearly unwilling to speak and guessed that he didn't want to reveal it, but her curiosity didn't die, so she said: "Then tell me after you're done."

"That's possible," Gu Fei nodded.

The two changed the subject, and Gu Fei identified the direction and returned to the tavern. Han Jia Gongzi was indeed still there. Gu Fei went up and said: "The telescope is still with you, right? Let me use it."

"Your task has clues?" Han Jia Gongzi emphasized the word "task." Obviously, he didn't think much of this kind of task that didn't even appear in the task list, but that Gu Fei had imagined himself.

"Observe and observe again," Gu Fei said, taking the telescope that Han Jia Gongzi handed over.

After leaving the tavern, Gu Fei walked back to the Political Affairs Hall courtyard. After observing the wall for a circle, he found a place where no one was around and turned back to say: "Come out, I know you're there."

There was no response.

Gu Fei grabbed a handful of Flesh-Cutting Flying Knives and scattered them in a certain direction: "Don't hide."

Dodging the flying knives revealed a thief's figure. Yan Xiao Zhu said in surprise: "You really knew?"

Gu Fei didn't speak. Actually, from the beginning, Gu Fei knew that Yan Xiao Zhu had pretended to leave and quickly returned to follow him. It was just that he thought that this girl was so curious that she might cause some trouble if she acted on her own, so it was better to keep her by his side to take care of her, so he ignored her and let her follow.

"What are you planning to do?" Yan Xiao Zhu had followed Gu Fei all the way and didn't understand his actions. She didn't see anything special about the place Gu Fei had chosen to stop at. Looking closer, Gu Fei had just taken a large roll of rope out of his pocket and was carefully straightening it. One end of the rope was tied to a grappling hook, and while Gu Fei was straightening the rope, he was looking up at the high wall beside him.

"Wow... you don't want to climb up here, do you?" Yan Xiao Zhu asked in surprise.

"That's exactly what I intend to do," Gu Fei said.

"It's so high," Yan Xiao Zhu looked up, the wall was more than ten meters high.

"Yeah, I'm seeing if the rope is long enough," Gu Fei said.

"Then why don't you pull it open?" Yan Xiao Zhu saw that Gu Fei was still rolling the rope.

"Don't you understand multiplication?" Gu Fei despised her. Children these days are really rigid, education is too much of a failure.

Yan Xiao Zhu then realized that Gu Fei was rolling the rope into circles and multiplying it to know the total length.

"Almost, it's enough," Gu Fei finally announced.

Then Yan Xiao Zhu saw Gu Fei skillfully reach out and throw it, the grappling hook climbed onto the top of the wall. Gu Fei turned back and yanked it twice, very stable, a success on the first try!

"What do you do for a living?" Yan Xiao Zhu was shocked by Gu Fei's professional technique.

"Do you want to go up?" Gu Fei asked her.

"Is it strong enough?" Yan Xiao Zhu was a little worried.

"Enough," Gu Fei answered confidently. As a professional martial artist, he naturally had a professional understanding of the equipment in his hand. He knew very well how strong the rope was, and it was no problem to hang a person.

"Then you go up first," Yan Xiao Zhu said, she actually wanted to find a demonstration.

"No need, together," Gu Fei said, and like a magic trick, he took out another loop from his pocket and threw it onto the top of the wall again.

"Is there more?" Yan Xiao Zhu asked blankly.

"Enough," Gu Fei said.

As he spoke, Gu Fei had already grabbed the rope on the left, and Yan Xiao Zhu followed suit. Gu Fei explained to her a little: "Lower your center of gravity, mainly rely on the strength of your arms, don't use too much force with your feet, otherwise the rope will shake, that's right, just like you..." Gu Fei's explanation wasn't even finished when Yan Xiao Zhu had already fallen down. Many things are easy to watch, but when you actually do them, you will find that there are actually many internal skills.

"Are you sure you still want to go up?" Gu Fei asked.

"Definitely, absolutely, and certainly," Yan Xiao Zhu said.

"The basic points are what I said, I'll demonstrate it for you." After Gu Fei finished speaking, he grabbed the rope, his movements were agile, his rhythm was appropriate, and climbing the wall, such a wretched thing, was displayed by Gu Fei like art. In the blink of an eye, he was three meters up. Gu Fei looked down at Yan Xiao Zhu: "How is it?"

"I'll try!" Yan Xiao Zhu tried again, which verified Gu Fei's previous judgment of her. This was a talented girl, born with good coordination. She quickly grasped the essentials. Although she wasn't as skilled and unrestrained as Gu Fei, she could finally slowly move upwards.

"What exactly do you do?" Yan Xiao Zhu really wanted to suspect that Gu Fei was engaged in some special job because he was so familiar with this profession.

"I'm a teacher," Gu Fei said.

"Tch..." Yan Xiao Zhu curled her lips. She didn't know that Gu Fei was telling the truth and thought that because he was doing on-site teaching, he said he was a teacher.

"Yes, that's it, steady your center of gravity, steadily climb upwards," Gu Fei continued to instruct.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if it shakes, as long as you firmly grasp the rope, you won't fall down. In the game, this kind of thing... ah..."

Plop...

Gu Fei helplessly slid back to the ground along the rope again, looking at Yan Xiao Zhu who had fallen on all fours: "I know that you will have more endurance in the game than in reality, but shaking is not because I'm afraid you can't persevere, it's because I'm afraid the grappling hook will fall off."

Gu Fei sighed and picked up the fallen grappling hook, threw it on the wall again, pulled it tight, and handed it to Yan Xiao Zhu.

"Do you know not to shake around this time?"

"I know..." Yan Xiao Zhu rubbed her butt, her eyes filled with tears.

"Then let's continue!" Gu Fei climbed the rope to the wall, watching Yan Xiao Zhu beside him. This time, the girl finally didn't dare to be reckless, and carefully followed Gu Fei's instructions step by step. It was just that this time she was a little too careful, and the speed of going up was very, very slow. Gu Fei looked up. At this rate, she might not have enough strength at the last moment! Even in the game.

But Gu Fei didn't dare to urge her. He knew that this girl was already afraid of falling. The more he urged her, the more nervous she might become, and the harder it would be to continue. He could only hope that she would climb more and more smoothly and gradually speed up.

But the result was that Yan Xiao Zhu was careful all the way to the end. Finally, after climbing more than ten meters, four or five meters away from the top, she turned her head and timidly looked at Gu Fei: "I don't think I can climb anymore."

Gu Fei, who had been beside her and keeping pace with her, nodded: "Me too."

"What should we do then?" Yan Xiao Zhu asked.

Gu Fei sighed, freed one hand and pointed upwards. Yan Xiao Zhu didn't understand what he meant. Just as she was looking there, she heard Gu Fei say: "Instantaneous movement, move!"
