Chapter 45 Let's Do This!

"Let's do it this way! You keep an eye on things, and I'll go contact them." After Wu Shi Zhi Jian made the decision, he immediately began searching around for Hei Mei Gui and Bai Jia Hei. Wu Shi Zhi Jian recognized both of these people, but they weren't exactly close friends, so he hadn't added them to the list. Now that all the guild leaders were gathered in this area, Wu Shi Zhi Jian wandered around aimlessly for a couple of laps before finally spotting Hei Mei Gui in a corner. This guy had a gloomy look on his face, while the several people around him, who were clearly his friends, were laughing heartily. It was obvious that they were making fun of his performance from earlier that day!

Wu Shi Zhi Jian pretended to be passing by, and as the group burst into laughter again, he turned his head in feigned surprise and smiled at them, "What's so funny?"

"It's Guild Leader Wu Shi!" The crowd laughed. There were quite a few people who recognized Wu Shi Zhi Jian. Hei Mei Gui was clearly unwilling to continue being ridiculed and was eager to change the subject. Seeing Wu Shi Zhi Jian take the initiative, he quickly approached, "Guild Leader Wu Shi, when will the city attack begin?"

This was the loneliest time for these mid-sized guilds. The large guilds controlled the overall strategy, and the small guilds were being contacted by Black Index Finger. Those in the middle, like them, felt somewhat idle.

Wu Shi Zhi Jian was delighted to see Hei Mei Gui take the bait. He chuckled and joined their circle in a very approachable manner...

A few minutes later, Hei Mei Gui shook off the dejected look from being flattened by a boulder. He waved his hand, pulled out his long spear, and pointed his round arms at the sky. "Brothers, we have something to do!"

"Be careful!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian kindly reminded him from the side, inwardly overjoyed. The people Yi Dao Ying Nian Hua had chosen were perfect. A few words were all it took to stir them up. Hei Mei Gui probably remembered his embarrassing moment when he was bored and was eager to find something to distract himself and everyone else.

"Gather the men, let's go!" Hei Mei Gui led a few of his brothers and gathered his guild's forces to depart. Wu Shi Zhi Jian didn't waste any time and went to find Bai Jia Hei. Bai Jia Hei was easier to find because his attire was very distinctive. Moreover, Bai Jia Hei's level-five guild had some strength, and he could speak with a straight back in front of Wu Shi Zhi Jian, the leader of a level-six guild.

Having been a guild leader for a long time, Wu Shi Zhi Jian had some negotiation skills. His conversation with Bai Jia Hei focused on lamenting how difficult it was to earn points in this city war. Then, he pretended to casually speculate that Dui Jiu Dang Ge seemed to have found some important task and had a conflict with Qian Li Yi Zui and Jian Gui. Then, he mentioned that a friend had told him that Dui Jiu Dang Ge had gathered over a hundred experts at the west gate, and he didn't know what they were doing.

"I can't figure it out, I just can't figure it out." Wu Shi Zhi Jian concluded with this statement, wearing a bewildered expression. Looking at Bai Jia Hei, he was already deep in thought. Wu Shi Zhi Jian felt that he had done enough, so he said goodbye and quietly left the Bai Hei Sheng Si Tong Meng's territory, finding an inconspicuous place to secretly observe their actions.

In his speeches to the two guild leaders, there were two details that Wu Shi Zhi Jian carefully revealed. First, Ni Liu Er Shang had experts there, but only a hundred or so people. Chang Qiang Yu Mei Gui and Bai Hei Sheng Si Tong Meng both had guilds with five hundred and seven hundred members, respectively. Wu Shi Zhi Jian believed they would be confident in dealing with Ni Liu Er Shang's hundred or so people. Another point was that Wu Shi Zhi Jian's enticement was not to sabotage Dui Jiu Dang Ge's mission, but to steal it.

Because he was well aware that neither of these guilds would see Dui Jiu Dang Ge as a direct competitor, given the clear difference in strength. Therefore, they wouldn't be interested in sabotaging Dui Jiu Dang Ge's mission. Only stealing the mission, a method that could directly benefit their own side, would be something they would agree to. Wu Shi Zhi Jian accurately assessed these two points and easily swayed the two guilds. Hei Mei Gui had already led his men directly to the location, while Bai Jia Hei, after pondering for a moment, pulled a few brothers aside to whisper for a while, then got up and quietly left the territory.

"It's done!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian sent a message to Yi Dao Ying Nian Hua.

"Let's deploy some of our people over there too! Don't let us be short-handed when we need them," Yi Dao Ying Nian Hua replied.

"Okay." Wu Shi Zhi Jian nodded and immediately selected elite and reliable members from the guild to reinforce Dui Jiu Dang Ge's mission location at the west gate.

In Yun Duan City, Gu Fei and Jian Gui, along with three soldiers, set out once again. Using the same method as before to traverse the battlefield where players and city soldiers were fighting, the two and three NPCs began observing their surroundings for any places suitable for secret maneuvers. They both simultaneously noticed a small grove of trees not far away, which wasn't too far from Dui Jiu Dang Ge's mission pit. After discussing it, Gu Fei and Jian Gui decided to sneak over there first and wait for an opportunity to act.

"When we were killing them just now, did you see that NPC?" Gu Fei asked.

"You mean that civil engineer? No," Jian Gui said.

"What if we just killed him directly? Would that count as completing the mission?" Gu Fei asked.

"Doesn't your mission description say something about rescuing him?" Jian Gui asked, wiping sweat.

"Oh, right..." Gu Fei looked again, confirming that it clearly stated rescue.

"But if we have to rescue him, then the method I estimated earlier, killing the opposing mission players, would only sabotage their mission and wouldn't necessarily mean my mission would be completed successfully!" Gu Fei said.

"Rescuing... does that mean we'll have to escort him back to the city?" Jian Gui guessed.

Gu Fei couldn't help but look back at the chaotic battlefield. "He'll listen to us, and he'll change his equipment if we tell him to, right?"

"I... don't know," Jian Gui said.

As they spoke, they circled around and arrived at the small grove. They stepped inside and moved towards the mission pit. Gu Fei checked the time. "Only 34 minutes left, it's urgent!"

"With so little time, even if we save him, will we have time to send him back?" Jian Gui wondered.

"Therefore, we probably don't need to escort him," Gu Fei said.

"Never underestimate the shamelessness of the system." Jian Gui spoke earnestly, drawing on his vast experience.

"Someone's there!" Gu Fei suddenly stopped talking and sent Jian Gui a message, pointing forward at the same time. In the front edge, a few guys were carefully hiding behind trees, peeking out from time to time.

"Who is it?" Jian Gui replied.

"Get closer and take a look. Don't make a sound," Gu Fei said.

Jian Gui nodded. Gu Fei turned back and gave the three guards the command to stand by. He didn't trust the blockheaded guards to handle this kind of sneaky operation that required silence.

The two carefully watched their steps, making not a single sound as they quietly approached the guys. Jian Gui leaned forward, looked at the profile of one of them, and sent Gu Fei a message: "Yi Dao Ying Nian Hua, from Zong Heng Si Hai."

"What are they doing here?"

"I don't know, what should we do?"

"Kill them!" Gu Fei said.

"How about we leave Yi Dao Ying Nian Hua alive to ask him what's going on?" Jian Gui suggested.

"Okay, then let's kill them quietly one by one, without him noticing," Gu Fei said.

"That's going to be difficult!"

"What's difficult about it? Just be quick, two for each of us, which two do you want?" Gu Fei said.

"Let me see." Jian Gui was very cautious and carefully identified each of them, choosing the ones he was more confident in taking down. The scouts that Yi Dao Ying Nian Hua brought were naturally mobile, which meant their health was a weakness, providing convenience for Gu Fei and Jian Gui's assassination. The two had already finished their assignments, and these guys still didn't know that the god of death had arrived behind them.

Gu Fei waved his finger, and the two rushed forward. Gu Fei suddenly appeared between two of them in an instant. Before they could react, Gu Fei's An Ye Liu Guang sword swung left and right like a whip, and the firelight drew an "s" shape in front of Gu Fei from left to right. The two were hit by the head and tail of the "s" respectively, and white light flashed.

On Jian Gui's side, he quietly approached one person from behind and used a sap, followed by Mist Assault to instantly kill another. He quickly rushed back, Backstab exploded, and another slash, and the one he sapped instantly dropped.

At this time, Gu Fei had already walked behind the only surviving Yi Dao Ying Nian Hua and patted him on the shoulder.

"What's up?" Yi Dao Ying Nian Hua didn't even turn his head.

"What are you busy with?" Gu Fei asked.

"Nonsense!" Yi Dao Ying Nian Hua said as he turned his head, but his eyes weren't on Gu Fei. An experienced player would know that he was paying attention to the message he had just received!

The message said: "We're dead!!!"

Yi Dao Ying Nian Hua was shocked and came back to his senses, seeing Gu Fei in front of him!

"You you you..." Yi Dao Ying Nian Hua stuttered for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Gu Fei, on the other hand, was gentle and didn't make things difficult for him, continuing to ask, "What are you busy with?"

Yi Dao Ying Nian Hua calmed himself down, seeing that Gu Fei didn't seem to be sending him to the afterlife right away, so he asked in return, "What are you busy with?"

"Mission!" Gu Fei said.

"What mission?" Yi Dao Ying Nian Hua asked.

"I can't tell you that," Gu Fei said.

At this time, Jian Gui looked out from Yi Dao Ying Nian Hua's perspective and had an epiphany, "You're monitoring Dui Jiu Dang Ge's people?" From Yi Dao Ying Nian Hua's position, the scene of the mission pit was completely visible. Jian Gui was also a former guild leader, and even if he wouldn't stoop to such things himself, it didn't mean he didn't understand the infighting between guilds. He instantly knew that Yi Dao Ying Nian Hua was probably up to no good either, and in a sense, his goal was the same as Gu Fei and Jian Gui's.

"This place is indeed a good spot to observe them secretly," Gu Fei said.

"Yeah!" Yi Dao Ying Nian Hua forced a smile, "Isn't everyone gathering here?"

Gu Fei nodded, "You've taken a liking to this place, and we've also taken a liking to this place. What about Han Jia Gong Zi? Didn't that guy notice that there's such a place right next to him?"

"Not good!!!" Jian Gui had already seen a mage suddenly appear at the mission pit and raise his staff.
