Chapter 11

Gu Fei eventually visited all eleven taverns in Xiawu City. These taverns were located in eleven distinctly different areas of Xiawu City. After visiting them all, Gu Fei had explored almost the entire city. Unfortunately, whether it was the system or the players, in the halls or private rooms, he didn't see any sign of Jian Nan You's group. He asked some players for information, but there was no news at all. No one had seen a team with such professional equipment.

Jian Gui also sent news that he had visited all seven resurrection points and asked people from time to time, but he had gained nothing.

*We can only rely on You-ge.* As he left the last tavern, Gu Fei thought. Looking up, he saw a building opposite the tavern that looked very familiar and welcoming. It was the wanted mission office in Xiawu City. Since he had nothing to do at the moment and happened to be carrying the PK value (player-killing points) he had gained when helping Jian Nan You and his group escape from Linshui City, Gu Fei began his PK-washing career.

*Maybe I'll run into those guys in the process,* Gu Fei thought optimistically.

At this time, in the small tavern where Gu Fei had first set foot, Yu Tian Shen Ming, Zhan Wu Shang, and the Gui Tong sisters were sitting around a table. They had become familiar with each other, truly proving the saying, "No discord, no concord."

After introductions, it was revealed that Gui Tong's younger sister was the thief Yan Xiao Zhu, one of the Seven Idlers of the week. The two were real sisters and veteran players who had entered the game during the open beta. However, the main cities of birth were completely random during the open beta. Even though they were sisters, the ruthless system randomly separated them, and it was only recently that they finally reunited.

Earlier on the street, Zhan Wu Shang had accidentally encountered the two and immediately struck up a conversation under the pretext of asking for directions. For a pair of beautiful sisters, such pick-up attempts were common in both reality and the game, so they were not offended and prepared to brush him off. But Zhan Wu Shang persisted and even said to Yan Xiao Zhu, "Little sister, do you want uncle to take you leveling up?" This immediately infuriated Gui Tong, who immediately took action to punish him.

In fact, Zhan Wu Shang wasn't such a lewd and obscene person. He deliberately acted this way to provoke the other party into attacking him. Then, he would easily defeat them two against one, showing off his skills and leaving a deep impression on the beauties. It was unknown where he had learned this YY (daydreaming) pick-up technique from some bad novel. Whether it would work or not was still unknown, but he was definitely out of luck. The two beauties he encountered turned out to be one of the Five Little Strongs and one of the Seven Idlers. As a result, he was defeated by the beauties, which was simply a disgrace to the world of pick-up artists.

In fact, if Zhan Wu Shang was serious about fighting, the odds of winning or losing were fifty-fifty. But he wanted to pretend to be an expert and show contempt, boasting that he would let the sisters use only one hand. Gui Tong, one of the Five Little Strongs, was not to be trifled with. She immediately cast her unique spell, "Nine Dragons Ice Chamber," freezing Zhan Wu Shang like an idiot. Fortunately, Gu Fei and Yu Tian Shen Ming appeared in time, otherwise, he might have fallen here today, and losing a level was just a matter of thought for the two sisters.

Now that they were sitting together, the two sisters still had prejudices against Zhan Wu Shang at first. Later, when Yu Tian Shen Ming asked about it, Zhan Wu Shang told the story from his perspective. After hearing it, the two sisters felt both angry and amused. If girls could be won over so easily, how could there be so many single men and women in this world?

Yan Xiao Zhu's personality was obviously more cheerful and lively than her older sister Gui Tong. At this time, she was already mocking Zhan Wu Shang's pick-up tricks as being too lousy. But Zhan Wu Shang could use such pick-up tricks, so it was known that his thick skin was his greatest weapon. There was absolutely no amount of ridicule that could defeat him. At this time, he coughed twice and said seriously, "Now that everyone is sitting together so happily, let's not mention the fighting anymore!"

Yu Tian Shen Ming was even more quick-witted. When he heard Yan Xiao Zhu mock Zhan Wu Shang's pick-up skills, he immediately followed up and asked a pure question with an impure motive: "So, how should one pick up girls?"

A young girl like Yan Xiao Zhu had no experience in such matters. Like Zhan Wu Shang, she had only read some messy romance YY novels and stories about the moods of men and women, learning some ambiguous theoretical knowledge. At this time, she began to lecture the two like a love expert.

So the three of them chatted happily about this topic. Gui Tong just listened quietly and didn't interrupt. Although the expression on her face was no longer so cold, it was still like a poker face with no smile. Zhan Wu Shang and Yu Tian Shen Ming didn't dare to provoke her. Fortunately, her younger sister was lively enough.

As they were chatting enthusiastically, the curtain of the fourth private room was suddenly lifted, and the three members of Piaoliu's team walked out, obviously having had enough to drink and preparing to leave. Zhan Wu Shang, who was facing this direction, saw Piaoliu and quickly greeted him.

So Piaoliu also came over to say hello. Yu Tian Shen Ming turned his face to the side and pretended to be aloof, while Yan Xiao Zhu turned her head and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Piaoliu!"

Piaoliu was obviously a little surprised to see her: "Oh, it's you."

"You know each other?" Zhan Wu Shang asked in surprise.

Yan Xiao Zhu pulled Gui Tong and said, "Sister, he is Piaoliu, the one who helped me in Stormwind City."

So Gui Tong got up and expressed her gratitude to Piaoliu for his help. Piaoliu waved his hand and said, "Haha, you're welcome. So you are Xiao Zhu's older sister, Gui Tong."

Gui Tong nodded: "My sister often mentions you, saying that she knows the number one mage, and she's very proud."

"Not at all, not at all." Piaoliu said modestly. However, Yu Tian Shen Ming, whose ears had been perked up, interrupted: "The number one mage, are you talking about you?"

"Of course not, it's Qian Li," Piaoliu said, meaning: *It's not me, and of course, it's not you.*

As soon as he said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. The door of the tavern opened, and a black-clad mage walked in, rudely kicking over a bench. He tapped the table with his sword and pointed at someone: "Wanted mission, those who have nothing to do, get out of the way."

"Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen this scene," Yu Tian Shen Ming exclaimed. He had followed Gu Fei to experience this scene many times in order to get the Chasing Wind Boots.

"Yeah!" Piaoliu was also full of emotion. He and Gu Fei had met at such a scene.

Obviously, Gu Fei didn't have a reputation in Xiawu City yet. Such a shout immediately aroused a strong reaction from the other party. The four people at that table had already stood up and taken out their weapons to prepare for battle. The other players around them stood up and dodged. The space in this room was small, and the skills didn't have eyes. If they were accidentally hit and killed, who could they complain to?

The onlookers quickly occupied one side, curiously looking at this arrogant mage. The four people were also shouting loudly: "Kid, what are you doing?"

They had seen people doing wanted missions, but they had never seen anyone doing wanted missions so loudly.

"Wanted mission!" Gu Fei reminded again and flew up.

Amidst the screams, flames, whirlwinds, flying arrows... all kinds of skills were staged in the small space. Gui Tong subconsciously grabbed her staff and prepared to help, but she saw that Gu Fei's two friends, Yu Tian Shen Ming and Zhan Wu Shang, continued to sit calmly as if nothing had happened, drinking and eating peanuts.

That mage, Piaoliu, also had no intention of helping. He folded his arms and watched with relish.

Gui Tong was a little confused, but when she turned her head to look at the battlefield again, she understood.

Just as she turned her head back and forth for a while, Gu Fei had already solved the wanted target. At this time, he took two steps back and was tapping a table, shouting: "Mission complete, welcome but not recommended to come for revenge."

The other three of the four people were still there, obviously shocked by Gu Fei's thunderous attack. Just now, Gu Fei had suddenly appeared in front of them, and he had dodged all of their attacks. Then, with just one sword, the four had become three.

"Kid, if you have the guts, don't leave, you wait!" The three didn't dare to act rashly. After stomping their feet, they ran out of the tavern together.

Gu Fei didn't stop them. He put his sword back in his pocket and walked towards Yu Tian Shen Ming and the others. "Drinking!" As he spoke, he grabbed a stool and sat down, grabbed a few peanuts and ate them, and then turned to look at Piaoliu: "What are you standing for?"

"Aren't you going to continue the mission?" Yu Tian Shen Ming asked.

"Didn't you hear them tell me to wait here!" Gu Fei said and kicked Yu Tian Shen Ming: "Move aside, let him sit too."

If it was someone else, Yu Tian Shen Ming would have let him, but when it came to Piaoliu, he would definitely refuse. Piaoliu didn't bother to ask for trouble and smiled at them: "You guys sit, I have something to do, I'll leave first."

"Something to do? What's the matter, do you need help?" Yan Xiao Zhu stood up. It seemed that she was eager to repay his kindness.

Piaoliu smiled helplessly: "It's just a polite remark, I'm actually fine, I'm just leaving."

"Leave quickly, leave quickly, no need to see you off." Yu Tian Shen Ming said impatiently.

"Call me if you need anything." Piaoliu said to Gu Fei at last.

"No, you call me if you need anything!" Gu Fei said.

Piaoliu smiled helplessly again and left. Yu Tian Shen Ming sighed and showed an expression of clearing the clouds and seeing the blue sky: "Life is so beautiful."

The chat continued, but Yan Xiao Zhu's attitude towards Yu Tian Shen Ming was obviously much colder. Obviously, she had seen Yu Tian Shen Ming's attitude towards Piaoliu, so she stood firmly on Piaoliu's side and became unfriendly to Yu Tian Shen Ming. Yu Tian Shen Ming felt depressed and his resentment towards Piaoliu increased.

Gu Fei and Gui Tong just sat there without speaking, thinking that these two were really childish. Looking at Zhan Wu Shang again, he felt that it would be better if this guy was a little older, so he could be described as an old rascal.

After a while, Gu Fei had almost finished Zhan Wu Shang's plate of peanuts. He looked at the time and said dejectedly: "What's going on? The people who said they would wait aren't coming. Do the players in Xiawu City all like to say things for fun?" After saying that, he poured the remaining peanuts into his palm, clapped the Chasing Wind badge: "I'm leaving too!"

With a flash of white light, Gu Fei teleported away. Gui Tong and Yan Xiao Zhu were dumbfounded, and Zhan Wu Shang and Yu Tian Shen Ming explained helplessly: "He went to continue the wanted mission."

Gu Fei, who had returned to the wanted mission office, turned in his mission. A white light flashed, and he finally entered the realm of level forty-one. At the same time, the system prompt sounded, and the special reward for the wanted mission was triggered again.
