Chapter 1 Gu Fei's "Kill You" Plan

Gu Fei's "Kill You" plan was indeed feasible. In the game, the resurrection points after death were calculated according to household registration. Gu Xian was moved to White Stone City as soon as he logged in. Theoretically, he shouldn't have registered his household in White Stone City. As long as he died once, he would naturally return to Xiawu City.

Gu Xian frowned and pondered, "Returning this way does get me back, but I'll lose a level, and it's not even the place where I logged off. It's still not worth it."

"Do you even care about losing levels? You're someone who frequently force-quits," Gu Fei said.

"See, you have no experience, do you? I haven't encountered a situation where my level was directly reduced by force-quitting. Usually, it's just an issue with experience points. But the most common thing is losing equipment," Gu Xian said.

"Doesn't money also get dropped?" Gu Fei asked.

"Money can be stored in the bank," Gu Xian said with disdain.

"Oh, right, I heard you say you've made a fortune recently before I came in?" Gu Xian asked.

"Yeah, I set up a studio and developed an efficient leveling method." Gu Fei gestured with his fists and feet.

As a kung fu user, Gu Xian immediately understood what an efficient leveling method would entail. In fact, even without actively developing it, these people would naturally develop this efficient way of fighting while leveling up against machine monsters, but they wouldn't intentionally summarize it when they weren't paying attention.

"No wonder so many people have been asking me lately if I know any efficient leveling methods. So it was you causing trouble," Gu Xian said.

"Why would anyone ask you?" Gu Fei said.

"Your brother is also a famous kung fu master in Xiawu City," Gu Xian said.

"Tch!" Gu Fei said dismissively. He didn't see Gu Xian as someone who knew kung fu. It was just that the virtual carrier of the internet gave him a chance to perform. In reality, this guy could only enjoy it in his head. He no longer had the physical condition to use kung fu.

The two of them stood at the door and chatted idly. The veterans didn't know whether to go up and fight or not, and the sound of the onlookers egging them on started to rise. Meanwhile, Duanshui Jian was urgently inquiring with Ye Xiaowu about what would happen if they didn't have the money to pay and insisted on leaving. In addition, how would the bill be calculated for their group of more than ten people? Would the three thousand plus gold coins be split evenly, paid by someone, or what?

Ye Xiaowu had just been killed back by Gu Xian and was also feeling depressed! At this time, the setting that Duanshui Jian was inquiring about was quite complicated, and it was difficult to explain clearly in a short time. When designing this section, some people thought it would be better to simply set everything in the tavern to an invincible state, unchangeable and indestructible, or perhaps even make the tavern a safe zone, which would save a lot of trouble.

However, later on, because the game was advertised as being realistic, the boss didn't allow such vague treatment of such life details. Things in a tavern scene like this had to be the same as in real life, able to be overturned and broken.

But then the problem arose. What should be done after it was overturned and broken? Like the garbage on the ground in the leveling area, would it all be refreshed to its original state at a certain point, or how?

At this time, the boss's capitalist nature of accumulating wealth came into play again. If things were broken, of course, there would have to be compensation! Create a compensation mechanism. The boss righteously dropped a sentence, which stumped many planners. Anyway, he didn't care. The boss always created difficulties and then relied on employees to solve them.

To be honest, it would be easy enough to create a system, but the difficulty lay in how to get players to accept this system. Therefore, when this system was first created, the planners who designed it were always apprehensive. However, when the rules in the tavern were announced during the public beta phase, there was not much reaction from the players. Everyone seemed to understand the rule that "you have to pay for breaking things" as a matter of common sense.

Seeing this mentality of the players, the planners gained confidence and became bolder, and eventually, the current regulation of compulsory enforcement by the system if the money was not paid appeared. Of course, in order to seek realism, the system's "compulsory enforcement" did not directly change the money in your pocket to zero. It would also symbolically dispatch soldiers to give you some ideological education for your bad behavior of smashing things and not paying compensation, and then forcibly deduct money from your pocket. If there was not enough money, you would be seriously notified that you were now in debt and would be continuously confiscated from your pocket until enough was collected.

This rule was ruthless. The planners were once again apprehensive, wondering if this would force the indebted players to quit the game directly? As a result, the facts proved that the planners habitually underestimated the players' intelligence! Since they all knew the rules of the tavern and the system's ruthless methods of penalizing money, who would be so reckless as to cause trouble in the tavern? Daring to challenge PK in the tavern had now become a way to show off wealth in some main cities. You overturn a table, I overturn two. Damn, that's ruthless, then I'll overturn three. These people also considered the consequences before taking action, and they were willing to be fined in the end. They even went out and bragged on the forum: "I was in a bad mood today and overturned ten tables in the system tavern in one go." Then a bunch of replies below said, "The poster is rich."

In the end, the people who were really restricted by this rule were the team led by the chief planner. Look at the trouble this caused.

Ye Xiaowu also understood the situation there. Duanshui Jian and the others wanted to go out and fight against Qianli Yizui and the other two. But the problem was that even if they went out now, they wouldn't have a chance to fight, because as soon as they left the door, the system guards would definitely come and force them to pay the fine. If they wanted a peaceful fighting environment, they had to get past the compensation first.

Ye Xiaowu regretted it! If he had known it would cause so much trouble, why did he have to choose to fight in the tavern? He really didn't expect that fighting in the tavern would require overturning the entire tavern. He thought he would only overturn a few tables at most.

"That priest is here to give us money. Don't kill him anymore," Gu Fei was currently instructing Gu Xian!

"Didn't you make a fortune? Lend it to them first. I have to work on his legs today," Gu Xian insisted.

"They're not willing to borrow it! Isn't it the same if you wait for him to leave the money and then kill him?" Gu Fei said.

"Okay," Gu Xian nodded.

Duanshui Jian and the others were going crazy. These two were deciding their life and death as if no one else was there. Although as soldiers they understood the saying "strategically despise the enemy, tactically value the enemy," they were still in great pain from being ignored so blatantly. Someone fired crossbows at the two of them in the tavern, and the two quickly dodged outside. Someone wanted to chase but was stopped by Duanshui Jian. They weren't afraid of being fined, but they couldn't stand the fact that system guards would come out and interfere as soon as they went out.

Ye Xiaowu finally sneaked back to the tavern. This time he didn't dare to come directly. He peeked around the corner of the street, only to see the two guys fighting at the tavern entrance.

"They're fighting among themselves?" Ye Xiaowu was overjoyed and quickly approached. The tavern itself contained a large number of onlookers, and the fight between the two attracted a lot of attention. But the two of them still saw Ye Xiaowu sneaking over at a glance.

"He's back," Gu Fei said to Gu Xian.

"I saw him, but he seems pretty happy? What's he so happy about?" Gu Xian said as he punched.

"I don't know!" Gu Fei dodged and kicked back.

"Could it be that I wasn't ruthless enough?" Gu Xian asked.

"Ruthless enough, ruthless enough," Gu Fei quickly said. Gu Xian's reckless attacks were fiercer than any kung fu practitioner Gu Fei knew. Even these genuine kung fu practitioners still had those deeply rooted scruples in the game, which they couldn't get rid of immediately. It was a matter of habit. Gu Fei was already considered good, he could still work around it. Look at how simple-minded Bai Shi Jinglun was, he only understood after being reminded. And he hesitated after breaking someone's arm.

"I'll go ask him." Gu Xian feinted a punch and floated out, blocking Ye Xiaowu's path. Ye Xiaowu was sneaking towards the tavern while paying attention to the two. He thought the two were focused on fighting and didn't notice him, but he didn't know that one of them suddenly attacked like this. He blocked him in front of him on the spot, and blocked his way with one hand propped up on the wall.

Knowing that he wouldn't be a match for them even if he had ten lives, Ye Xiaowu quickly patted the Chasing Wind Badge and teleported away using the escape mission he had prepared in advance.

"Damn!" Gu Xian was dumbfounded. He hadn't even said a word yet!

"Look at you, you scared him away!" Gu Fei was exasperated. He guessed that Hong Chen Yixiao had teleported to the wanted mission location, which was far from the tavern. It would take a lot of time for a broken priest like him to run over.

"I haven't said anything yet!" Gu Xian said depressedly.

"Sigh, I should have told him in advance. He must have thought you were going to beat him up again." Gu Fei depressedly opened his friend list and sent a message to Ye Xiaowu: "Don't be afraid, he's not going to kill you. Lao Duan and the others are waiting for you to come back and deliver the money. It seems like you can't leave the tavern without paying compensation." Gu Fei didn't know much about the game rules. He was a law-abiding person, and he had never lacked money in the game. When he caused trouble in the tavern, he gave the boss as much as he asked for. He never had the dirty thought of running away without paying.

Ye Xiaowu was really about to cry! He teleported to the wanted mission location, and the white light hadn't completely dissipated yet! His eyes went black on the spot, and when he opened them again, he was already at the priest academy. Ye Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, then realized what had happened and was spitting blood! He received a message from Ping Guo Cu, who was excitedly shouting: "Hahahaha, Qianli Yizui was finally destroyed by my blade."

Ye Xiaowu was really suffering in silence. Ping Guo Cu's ambush was his arrangement. Because he deduced that Gu Fei also had a Chasing Wind Badge, and in a bad situation, he would likely teleport urgently. At this time, if his health was not full, Ping Guo Cu lurking on the side would have a good chance of killing him with one blow.

Who was Ping Guo Cu? A killing demon king with over a thousand PK points, would he care about an ordinary player's level? So this guy was determined to attack as soon as the white light appeared, regardless of who killed him. But thinking that the opponent might be Qianli Yizui, Ping Guo Cu didn't dare to be careless at all. He was absolutely focused, and his attacks were decisive and swift. As a result, there was white light after white light, and Ye Xiaowu was just a string of data that hadn't even been 100% rendered when he was killed by Ping Guo Cu. This guy didn't even see clearly whether the person was Qianli Yizui, but there were very few people who possessed the Chasing Wind Badge. Although Ping Guo Cu had decided to kill as soon as there was white light, he actually thought that the only person who would teleport over at this time could only be Qianli Yizui, so he immediately boasted to Ye Xiaowu.

"Boss, the one you killed was me!" Ye Xiaowu said depressedly!

"You? What are you doing here, adding to the chaos?" Ping Guo Cu was in paradise and extremely depressed when he heard the news. But the killing king had no burden about killing Ye Xiaowu. He only cared that the person he killed this time was not Qianli Yizui, and he was happy for nothing.

"Look clearly before you attack!" Ye Xiaowu said.

"See clearly my ass, that's Qianli Yizui, if I could see clearly, could I still kill him? What a waste of words!" Ping Guo Cu was very dissatisfied. This guy didn't have much of a master's temperament. He felt a great sense of accomplishment as long as he could kill the person he wanted to kill. He wasn't like Jian Gui, a master who pursued technically overwhelming you with genuine skill.

"Tell me next time you teleport," Ping Guo Cu said.

Ye Xiaowu was mistakenly killed, and he was blamed for it. He was so depressed that he just wanted to bang his head against the wall. At this time, Gu Fei's message arrived, explaining to him that Gu Xian didn't want to kill him, just wanted to greet him when he arrived...

On that day, a small priest around level thirty stood blankly at the entrance of the priest academy for five minutes, unmoved by wind or rain, which was a spectacle.

Gu Fei and the others were also annoyed by the wait, so they went back into the tavern and spread their hands to Duanshui Jian and the others: "Well, he just came, and as soon as he saw us, he was scared and teleported away again. Tell him, we won't kill him for now." Gu Fei spoke as seriously as he behaved. "Won't kill him for now" meant reserving the right to kill him in the future.

At this time, the onlookers had already started whistling. In addition to watching, booing was also one of their major functions, perhaps it could be regarded as the voice of the people. As the whistles rose, someone shouted at the top of their lungs: "Are you going to fight or not?"

"Everyone, don't be impatient." Gu Fei was still in the mood to explain! "Because there was a little accident, so we need to wait a little longer." Then he went to ask the native players of White Stone City: "How long does it take to get here from the wanted mission location? For a priest." Gu Fei didn't know that Ye Xiaowu had been sent back to the priest academy again!

While Ye Xiaowu was going back and forth, the two warriors and the fighter Kaishan Fu who had died earlier had already returned. The two warriors were killed by Gu Fei's sneak attack and were disgruntled, but after understanding the situation, they also obeyed the organization's arrangements. Kaishan Fu was now a little scared. The strong warrior who put life and death aside on the battlefield was now frightened by the subversive power of the opponent's real kung fu. You really don't have the qualifications to experience this kind of fear if you're just an ordinary person, because ordinary people can't understand the helplessness of trying their best but still being useless when facing a master. Ordinary people are instantly defeated, what's there to be helpless about?

"Let's continue to practice outside!" Gu Fei pulled Gu Xian. He found that his cousin was a good sparring partner in the game.

"I'm not going, it's boring," Gu Xian said.

"How can it be?" Gu Fei said.

"You're the only one who's obsessed with kung fu, okay? I'm using kung fu in the game to bully people. If you let me beat you up outside, then I'll spar with you," Gu Xian said.

Although Gu Xian was fierce, Gu Fei had been enlightened after playing the game for so long. He wasn't as wooden as Bai Shi Jinglun in the game. No matter how talented Gu Xian was, he couldn't stand Gu Fei's twenty years of hard practice, not to mention that Gu Fei wasn't an ordinary person either. If Gu Xian's talent was 100 points, Gu Fei also had 95 points. But Gu Xian had 0 points of effort, and Gu Fei had 100 points. In total, Gu Xian still had 100 points, and Gu Fei had 195 points. This was the difference in reality. Although the game used setting data to help Gu Xian make up for his physical condition, the twenty years of hard practice were not just about muscles, and the game couldn't simulate other aspects.

In this way, even if the game gave Gu Xian a few dozen more points, he still couldn't surpass Gu Fei. This was still because Gu Fei was a mage and didn't have strength, and his total score had to be deducted, which is why the two were relatively close. If the two had the same profession and attributes, then Gu Xian would also be destined to be bullied by Gu Fei.

"If you want to practice so much, practice with them. There are so many people!" Gu Xian pointed to the veterans and said.

"Isn't that what we're organizing? We'll start practicing when that someone comes back," Gu Fei said.

The veterans were depressed! In Gu Xian's mouth, they were "bullied," and in Gu Fei's mouth, they were "sparring partners." Why didn't these two guys go to hell!

Sniper God was about to slap the table and say a few words, but Duanshui Jian's face suddenly changed: "How did he die again?"

"Who?" Everyone asked in surprise.

"Who else could it be?" Duanshui Jian said.

"Hong Chen Yixiao, what's going on? Can he still come over?" Gu Fei was more concerned than anyone else.

"..."

Ye Xiaowu's death was not caused by Ping Guo Cu's attack. After adjusting his mood at the priest academy, this guy regrouped and went to the White Foam Tavern again. As a result, before he had walked a street after leaving the priest academy, an arrow flew from nowhere and killed him on the spot.

Four times!! In just under forty minutes, Ye Xiaowu had died four times. Even Bu Xiao in the beginning was not as tragic as him. Bu Xiao was chased and killed for ten levels, which was the result of Gu Fei's busy night. He was nicknamed "Ten Times a Night." If he continued to die at this pace, Ye Xiaowu was very likely to break Bu Xiao's record for the fastest level drop, and it was unknown whether he would have a nickname as well.

He was being targeted! This was the first thought that came to Ye Xiaowu's mind when he was resurrected at the priest academy for the fourth time. As a small priest around level thirty, with a golden ratio of points for the high-level stream and even some points allocated to agility, there were plenty of people in the game who could kill him instantly.

While sending this bad news to Duanshui Jian, Ye Xiaowu stood at the entrance of the priest academy and looked around. He was sure that someone was watching him here, so he was killed not far after going out.

Who was it?

The area outside the safe zone was always lively. This player's daily must-pass area had a large flow of people, which was not inferior to the bustling street of professional transactions. In such a complex area with a large flow of people, it was too difficult for Ye Xiaowu to find the lookout with his limited skills. He was just more familiar with the game settings than anyone else, that's all.
