Chapter 128 Dissatisfaction

Sword Demon and the others were a bunch of old players. Jian Nan You, in particular, came from the despised profession of bandit. How could they be intimidated by threats of GM complaints? Ye Xiao Wu's intimidation felt like a group of adults squabbling, with one of them spouting childish nonsense like, "I'm going to tell my mom!"

The others continued to stare at him mockingly. Zhan Wu Shang even rasped, "Hurry up and complain. I haven't seen a GM in all my time playing this game. I can't wait to see one. I also want to ask him how game staff are running around inside the game. I wonder if that's allowed."

You Ge had long ago complained about Ye Xiao Wu's suspected status as game staff, but there had been no response. Recently, Duo Mu Mu Duo, a fairly popular game journalist, reported on the matter again, sparking widespread reaction among players. The posts denouncing it hadn't sunk yet, but the game company still hadn't responded.

Ye Xiao Wu simply smiled faintly at Zhan Wu Shang's words. "Game workers can't play games? It's not really a rule. It's just that game workers deal with games every day. Their perspective is different from ordinary players. They can't enjoy the game, especially their own creations. They basically feel like throwing up when they come in. So game workers usually don't play their own games. Over time, it's become an unwritten rule. In fact, I've never heard of a company explicitly prohibiting employees from playing their own games. Do you really think that company people can do whatever they want in the game? Does the company have no rules? Can anyone arbitrarily modify the game? That's too childish."

Ye Xiao Wu's words were half true and half false. In the early stages of online gaming, it was indeed as he said. But now, with the increasing profits in games, especially in Parallel World, where organized, profitable industries have emerged directly in the game, game staff being prohibited from playing is no longer just an unwritten rule. After all, for these interest groups, sometimes just a very small detail can give them a huge advantage.

For example, if someone knew from internal channels that White Stone Ash in White Stone City could disrupt a thief's stealth before the players did, they could make a fortune before the players realized it. In the early game, without any anti-stealth skills or items, this item would definitely be popular. Nowadays, there are studios in White Stone City running the export business of White Stone Ash: sending White Stone Ash through the mail to studio branches stationed in other main cities, and then selling it. Something that is already commonplace for locals and neighboring cities is not cheap in main cities far from White Stone City. After all, ordinary players can't travel thousands of miles for dozens of hours to White Stone City just to bring back a handful of dirt.

Although Sword Demon and the others were all old players, they didn't know as much about the internal affairs of game companies as Ye Xiao Wu. They couldn't find any fault with his mixture of truth and falsehood, and for a moment, they couldn't refute him. Seeing that there had been no response to their complaints for so many days, they were even starting to believe him. Han Jia Gongzi nodded at this point and said, "That's right, there's nothing wrong with game staff coming into the game. We still destroy him five levels a day, right?"

Everyone laughed heartily, feeling extremely satisfied. How delightful it was to see Han Jia Gongzi using his sharp wit to ridicule someone else for a change! The others looked at him encouragingly, hoping that he would continue to maintain this style.

Ye Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He had originally thought that his game knowledge would be enough to deal with Gu Fei. But after entering the game and seeing the skills of Gu Fei and his kung fu companions, he felt that his knowledge was completely insufficient. Their kung fu was a completely different kind of knowledge, a domain that Ye Xiao Wu was completely unfamiliar with. As a result, they had used the game as a base and created a third set of skills for playing the game with kung fu, which left Ye Xiao Wu even more at a loss.

Ye Xiao Wu also had many restrictions. The confidentiality agreement alone made him carefully consider all the consequences before each action, to see if there were any violations. He hadn't thought about concealing his identity in front of these guys. Now, listening to what they said, they had indeed already reported his situation to the company. However, no one had contacted him so far, so it seemed that nothing he had done had violated anything. However, acting with such constraints made it really difficult to deal with these people. These people were the top elites in the game!

Ye Xiao Wu's depressed expression made everyone feel happy. If this guy was just as nonchalant after being surrounded, like Jian Nan You who took out a novel and enjoyed himself when he was surrounded in the auction house before, that would have been infuriating.

It seems that this Comrade Hongchen Yixiao lacks combat experience! He's quite flustered after being surrounded! The others thought. They all knew that surrounding him for so long couldn't be a long-term solution. It was too much to have a bunch of people standing here with him. Everyone had their own lives to live! So the siege couldn't last too long. But this operation had given Ye Xiao Wu a blow, and everyone felt that it was worth it!

While they were surrounding Ye Xiao Wu, the veterans outside the Priest Academy had already swarmed in, charging in with murderous intent and standing opposite them. Yu Tian Shen Ming looked at the veterans' eagerness to fight, clutching their weapons, and asked in surprise, "Uncles, this is a safe zone. You can't PK. You're not so bad that you don't even know that, are you?"

It was obvious that the veterans were terrible at the game. However, Yu Tian Shen Ming's ability to belittle people was clearly not up to par. The veterans glanced at him and saw that he was just a little brat. No one paid any attention to him. They just looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, this isn't very interesting!"

Although the veterans also used cunning tactics, they were ultimately aiming to destroy the enemy. For example, they had climbed over the rear of the Priest Academy directly and hadn't planned to use this path to rescue the three. Their goal was to join forces with the three priests and then sandwich the group at the door from the inside and outside. But they didn't confront them head-on and went straight into the safe zone. Now they were surrounding Ye Xiao Wu in the middle and not letting him pass. What strategic significance could this have? They were just a bunch of gamers. Childish, very childish.

Han Jia Gongzi and the others also knew that surrounding Ye Xiao Wu could only annoy him at best. What else could they do? But now that the veterans had also joined in, everyone was reluctant to let Ye Xiao Wu go, so they just stalled.

Gu Fei had been admiring the scenery on the roof of the main building of the academy for a long time. Seeing that there was no fighting below, they were stuck again. After carefully scouting the area and confirming that no one would cut his rope while he was descending, he took out his grappling hook, hooked it on the edge of the roof, let down the rope, and slid down.

Seeing this, Yu Tian Shen Ming shouted in the channel, "Oh no, why is Qian Li so rash? If the veterans grab the rope and shake it wildly, he's going to fall."

But the veterans just stared blankly, not moving at all. The others laughed at Yu Tian Shen Ming, "They're not as childish as you."

Gu Fei landed safely, walked over slowly, and said, "Everyone's here!"

"..." Everyone.

"This can't go on." Gu Fei gave his opinion. Everyone looked at him, waiting to see what he would say.

"It's too chaotic to just rush up in a chaotic swarm. It's not aesthetically pleasing. Why don't we duel!" Gu Fei said.

This caused a commotion on both sides.

Although the Gongzi Elite Team were all self-proclaimed experts, they didn't really think that they could beat the veterans in a one-on-one fight. That kind of rogue tactic of tearing at each other and relying on equipment required a priest to constantly heal them from behind. Otherwise, it was hard to say who would die in a brawl. Except for Gu Fei, no one thought they had a chance of winning a duel. They didn't know why Gu Fei would come up with such a disadvantageous idea.

The veterans were also surprised by this. They could also see that no one on the other side was their match except for Gu Fei. If they fought one by one and took down Gu Fei, how could they win? Why would this guy come up with such a stupid idea to give them victory? Strange.

Gu Fei didn't seem like such a stupid person. The players on both sides looked at him as if he were a new force, all confused and puzzled.

Gu Fei asked again, "Any objections?" Gu Fei only asked the veterans, as if he was directly representing their side in negotiations with the opponents.

"This... isn't that good!" Yu Tian Shen Ming finally couldn't help it. He didn't dare to directly say that Gu Fei's idea was stupid, but he still vaguely expressed his disapproval.

"What is it?" Gu Fei even looked surprised, as if he hadn't expected his own people to refuse.

"This... we, dueling is quite difficult..." It was really difficult for Yu Tian Shen Ming to admit that he couldn't beat his opponents. The little brat stammered, and finally expressed this meaning in a roundabout way.

When Gu Fei heard this, he suddenly understood. He looked at the brothers who were staring at him and laughed, "You're stupid, aren't you? I'm the first one to go, so why would you need to take action?"

When everyone heard this, they understood. He was going to use a gauntlet system. As long as Gu Fei didn't lose, they wouldn't need to change people. This guy was so confident that he wanted to defeat them one by one?

The veterans also realized this at this time. They had used this kind of gauntlet system before, but in reality, people's physical strength was limited. No matter how powerful a master was, it was impossible for him to defeat more than a dozen such ruthless opponents in a row. They had forgotten for a moment that this was a game, and there was no such physical problem.

Gu Fei's attitude was confidence in his own people, but it was contempt in the eyes of his opponents. But... after the veterans looked at their Mountain Cleaving Axe, they lowered their heads in shame.

Mountain Cleaving Axe had one-on-one experience with Gu Fei, Bai Shi Jing Lun, and Gu Xian respectively. He was also the most skilled in close combat among the veterans. After losing, his statement was very convincing: These kung fu practitioners, we are really not their opponents in close combat, at least in the game. "At least in the game," this suffix was because Mountain Cleaving Axe felt that the game did not reflect the real human physique. In reality, a strong body was the basis of strength. Just look at the most ruthless Gu Xian, with a body that was top-heavy and light-footed. This figure looked like he lacked exercise. Such a guy, no matter how exquisite his kung fu moves were, he would still be able to overpower him with brute force. As for that Qian Li Yi Zui and Bai Shi Jing Lun, they were also of medium build and didn't seem to have any explosive power.

Mountain Cleaving Axe was really just trying to find a way to save face after losing so many times. He didn't analyze that he was almost a grandfather in reality, while those three were all young and vigorous, the legendary sun at eight or nine in the morning. Of course, his guess about Gu Xian was correct. That guy really didn't exercise and was of the weak and frail type. But Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jing Lun were just not tall, and their bodies were far more solid than Mountain Cleaving Axe saw.

Mountain Cleaving Axe had many thoughts in his heart, but he had already admitted that he was not a match for these three in the game. One-on-one, did they have a chance of winning? The veterans discussed and muttered a lot in their channel, and finally came to the conclusion: No.

"Unless he makes obvious and major mistakes." Mountain Cleaving Axe said seriously, "Do you want to bet on this?"

"Old Kai, what do you think is the probability of him making a mistake?" Someone asked.

"This person's boxing is quite skilled, and his mind is extremely calm when he acts. To be honest, I don't think he will make a mistake, especially in the game, where physical strength is not a problem at all." Mountain Cleaving Axe said.

"What about his attention? If he fights more than a dozen people in a row, his attention will inevitably be distracted, and mistakes will inevitably occur." Someone said.

"First, it's still the physical strength problem. There's no feeling of fatigue, and his attention won't decrease for this reason. Other than that, it can only be because he's tired of fighting and starts to lose interest. But, comrades, look at his fanatical eyes. I think he wouldn't get tired of fighting even a hundred people. There's no way we can exhaust him until his attention is distracted with just a dozen people." Mountain Cleaving Axe said.

"Are you saying we can't fight like this?"

"Yes, I don't think we can fight like this." Mountain Cleaving Axe said.

The veterans discussed for a few sentences and shook their heads, rejecting Gu Fei's suggestion. Gu Fei was very disappointed and looked at the veterans helplessly, "Then what do you say we should do?"

"Let the person go, and we'll find a place to fight to the death!" The veterans said.

So the experts also shook their hands disapprovingly, "You know you can't beat Qian Li in a duel, so you don't want to fight that way; we also know that it's not easy for us to fight you in a group, do you think we would agree to fight that way?"

Well, everyone had something they were afraid of, and no one could laugh at anyone. The situation was stuck again.

Han Jia Gongzi finally opened his mouth, "It can be seen that everyone is a man of their word. We are not afraid to tell you that we are not your opponents in a head-on confrontation. We rely on conspiracies and tricks. It's really not a solution to keep stalling like this, and we don't think it's interesting either. How about this, you go offline first, we'll let him leave, and we'll each use our own means to fight and kill in the future. Let's call it a tie today."

"A tie..." The veterans almost collapsed. Except for Sniper Lao Lei and Da Lei, everyone else had been killed, and Ye Xiao Wu had lost five levels alone. On the other hand, the opponents had suffered zero casualties. To say that it was a tie, it was hard to know whether they were saving face or mocking them outright.

But if it continued like this, there would be no result. Did they want the veterans to block the respawn point? That wasn't realistic either. They had limited manpower. If they were all here, the opponents could eat them up if there were a few less of them. This wasn't like a large guild, which could form several teams like theirs and take turns every half hour. This was a bit like what it said in the art of war: "Surround them with ten times the force." It meant that when the enemy's strength was ten times greater than their own, they could surround them and fight a war of annihilation. Now the ratio of the number of people on both sides was close to one to one, so it could be seen that they really couldn't launch such a large-scale operation.

After another round of discussion, the veterans finally nodded, "Okay, we'll go offline first. We'll fight again later."

"Okay, straightforward!" Han Jia Gongzi gave the other side a thumbs up.

The veterans immediately turned into white light and went offline one by one. Han Jia Gongzi glanced at Ye Xiao Wu, who was still standing in their circle, and said, "You go offline and rest for a while too!"

Ye Xiao Wu understood that he probably didn't want to be seen where they were going, so he didn't say much and silently went offline.

"Withdraw!" Han Jia Gongzi waved his hand and led the others out of the respawn point. This ending was really a bit of a damp squib, especially for a battle maniac like Gu Fei!

"Not satisfied, not satisfied at all!!!" Yu Tian Shen Ming, who was emotionally agitated, had already shouted it out.

Han Jia Gongzi glanced at him, "The other side was completely wiped out except for three people, and it seems that the leader, Hongchen Yixiao, lost five levels in a row. It seems like they're the ones who are not satisfied, right?"

"This..." Yu Tian Shen Ming was speechless for a moment. That was indeed the case, but where did this feeling of dissatisfaction come from? Strange, Yu Tian Shen Ming vaguely couldn't figure it out, and finally used that vague argument again, "Anyway, you know."

"That's right, if I were as stupid as you, we would have been done for." Han Jia Gongzi despised him on the surface, but he was clear in his heart. He did know. Although they were the winning side in terms of results, the veterans had been more dominant from beginning to end. As Han Jia Gongzi had said before, they had to cheat and play tricks to have a chance of winning. This was different from the mercenary competition. At that time, their opponents were often outnumbered ten to one. After winning by using some tricks, everyone still thought highly of themselves. But now, facing opponents of equal numbers, although they had won, that feeling of being at a disadvantage had not been reversed at all. Especially with such an ending that seemed to be anticlimactic, it made people feel like they had a breath stuck in their chest that they couldn't exhale.

It was like watching a movie, and it was building up all the way, and it looked like it was about to reach the climax of the whole play, but suddenly the power went out, and there was nothing left. All the emotions that had been mobilized were all held back, how could that be satisfying?

"I think it would have been better to stay and fight them again just now..." Sword Demon, who hadn't said much, suddenly said.

"Yeah, that's right!" Yu Tian Shen Ming, pulling the three bows on his back, said hatefully.

What games need is passion, is heroism. But everything that Han Jia Gongzi deployed was always contrary to this. He always built on reason, exhausting the enemy and preserving himself. This way of playing can win the best victory results, but it may not make people feel satisfied. It's just a game, is victory really that important? As long as it's fun and exciting, players will feel satisfied.

Therefore, the president of the Ni Tian Guild, the one who was supported and relied on by everyone, was Sword Demon, not Han Jia Gongzi.
