Chapter 123

Luoluo and the others hadn't started greeting anyone yet, so Gu Fei and Yu Tian Shen Ming were in no hurry. The two of them leisurely started on their way.

This time, Gu Fei had definitely helped Yu Tian Shen Ming a great deal. Yu Tian Shen Ming felt like he owed Gu Fei a debt he could never repay, but he didn't know how to express it, and he felt a little awkward talking along the way.

"Relax, Yu Tian, classmate," Gu Fei said in a professional attempt at consolation.

Yu Tian Shen Ming nodded.

As they spoke, they arrived at the entrance of the East Gate Tavern. Looking up, Luoluo, Piaoliu, and the others had already arrived. Seeing Gu Fei, they immediately waved at him. Luoluo was surprised. "You're so proactive today. This isn't like you, Qian Li!" As she said this, she cast a Regeneration spell on him.

"Can't you come up with something new?" Gu Fei said.

"The other ones use too much mana," Luoluo said with a smile, her eyes landing on Yu Tian Shen Ming. "Little Yu Tian is here too!" She cast a Regeneration spell on Yu Tian Shen Ming as she said this.

But the reaction here was very different. Yu Tian Shen Ming had a very enjoying expression on his face. "Yes, I'm here. Sister Luoluo."

Gu Fei almost threw up. This kid was too self-deprecating. Thinking about the five people in the mercenary group, who wasn't older than him? This kid usually ignored age problems, but when he was in front of a girl, he was willing to act younger and call himself a younger brother. That "sister" was so natural.

"Yu Tian?" Piaoliu on the other side was stunned by the name.

Gu Fei introduced them. "Yu Tian Shen Ming." Then he introduced Piaoliu to Yu Tian Shen Ming. "Piaoliu, writes 'love' with his left hand and 'handsome' with his right."

They looked at each other.

Under normal circumstances, after an introduction, even if the two sides didn't say "hello," they would at least nod and smile.

But at this moment, Piaoliu and Yu Tian Shen Ming were sizing each other up so intensely. The ever-changing expressions on their faces were full of endless love, hate, and grievances.

Gu Fei was just about to ask, "Do you guys know each other?" when Yu Tian Shen Ming had already drawn his bow and arrow and jumped into the center of the street. "Piaoliu, let's have a duel!"

Gu Fei and Luoluo looked at the two of them in a daze. Piaoliu touched his forehead and smiled dismissively. "He's still just a kid!"

"Come, come, there's still time. I'll treat everyone to a couple of drinks," Piaoliu said.

"What's going on?" Gu Fei and Luoluo asked as they followed Piaoliu and the others into the tavern.

On the street, a small gust of wind blew past, and a withered leaf swirled around the corner of Yu Tian Shen Ming's pants before falling to the ground.

"Damn it!" Yu Tian Shen Ming cursed as he charged into the tavern.

The five of them were already seated. Yu Tian Shen Ming walked over with a dark face, carrying his bow.

"You guys know each other?" Gu Fei and Luoluo rarely found themselves on the same side and were gossiping curiously.

Piaoliu nodded. "We've played together in several games before..." His words were unfinished. Judging from the tense looks on their faces when they met, they had played together, but definitely not happily. Gu Fei thought about it. Piaoliu was a mage expert, and Yu Tian Shen Ming had always been a mage as well. In online games, they often fought over things like first place and top spot. These two were probably like that.

As they were talking, Yu Tian Shen Ming had already arrived. Piaoliu was asking the NPC bartender for drinks. "Five drinks." After saying that, he turned around and saw Yu Tian Shen Ming, raising his eyebrows and saying in an inquiring tone, "Should I get you a juice?"

This was clearly mocking Yu Tian Shen Ming's age. Gu Fei and Luoluo smiled at each other.

"I'll kill you!" Yu Tian Shen Ming was indeed provoked.

"Hey... just kidding, don't be so childish, sit down," Piaoliu said nonchalantly.

Yu Tian Shen Ming naturally refused to give up easily, shouting and demanding a duel with Piaoliu.

"Calm down, calm down..." In the end, Gu Fei persuaded him to stop. If it were before, even Gu Fei's persuasion wouldn't have worked, but now Yu Tian Shen Ming owed Gu Fei a big favor and didn't know how to repay him. How could he not give Gu Fei face? Only then did he quiet down.

Piaoliu was quite surprised. He and Yu Tian Shen Ming had indeed known each other for a long time. Although they hadn't had such face-to-face communication in previous online games, everyone's temper could basically be reflected. In Piaoliu's impression, Yu Tian Shen Ming wasn't someone who would quiet down after hearing a few words. Just who was this Qian Li Yi Zui? Piaoliu couldn't help but pay more attention to Gu Fei. With such a slip-up, he had ignored Yu Tian Shen Ming once again.

Yu Tian Shen Ming was angry, furious, and anxious... Gu Fei's request for him to be quiet was just him giving Gu Fei face and forcibly restraining himself. What could really divert his attention was concern from the girls.

Luoluo, acting like a big sister, touched Yu Tian Shen Ming's head and asked the two of them, "What online games did you guys used to play?"

Yu Tian Shen Ming said a few names, all of which were quite popular online games in the past.

"You two must have been fighting fiercely in them, right?" Luoluo smiled.

"Hmph..." Yu Tian Shen Ming said, "I was fighting, some people were just being beaten." His words were full of disdain for Piaoliu.

Piaoliu, however, was nonchalant to the end, smiling and saying, "Yeah, I get beaten every day, I'm a masochist..."

Everyone could of course tell that this was sarcasm. These two were actually despising each other, just with different tactical styles. Yu Tian Shen Ming's performance was fierce and proactive, while Piaoliu used the other's force to strike back, using a small force to deflect a great one. A few casual words made Yu Tian Shen Ming think more and more about them and get angrier, clearly understanding Yu Tian Shen Ming's temperament.

What exactly was going on between these two? You couldn't get any accurate information from their sarcastic tones. Gu Fei figured he'd have to ask Brother You about this gossip.

While the two of them were continuing to bicker with their wine glasses, the female members of the team gradually arrived at the tavern. Yu Tian Shen Ming and them were old friends. They hadn't seen each other for two days, and they were very affectionate, asking about each other. Piaoliu had only practiced with them once yesterday, so the girls greeted him, but they didn't have much to say to him.

Yu Tian Shen Ming had been angered by Piaoliu for a long time, and now he finally found a place to get back at him. The five features on his face were twisted into a single word: "Smug."

"Everyone's here, let's go!" Although there were many experts in the team, Luoluo was still the leader. However, she basically didn't have to take on the responsibilities of a priest these past two days. In the end, she used all her Regeneration spells to tease Gu Fei.

"Uh, I found a leveling spot that I think is better than the one we used yesterday." As the team left the city gate, Piaoliu spoke.

"Really? Let's go take a look!" Luoluo said, and the girls all chimed in with approval.

Gu Fei felt that something was wrong. Why didn't Yu Tian Shen Ming interrupt and argue at this time? This didn't match his character!

Thinking about this, he looked around for Yu Tian Shen Ming and was shocked to see him deliberately lagging behind the team, currently drawing his bow and aiming! It went without saying who his target was.

Gu Fei flashed in front of him, blocking his line of fire.

Yu Tian Shen Ming quickly waved at him, signaling him to move aside. Gu Fei was really amused and annoyed. He rushed over to him in a few steps and pushed down the bow. "What the hell are you doing!"

"Killing him!" Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

"Don't be ridiculous, we're teammates leveling together right now," Gu Fei said.

"Kill him, we have to kill him. Haven't you heard? It's not the god-like enemies you have to fear, it's the pig-like teammates. We have to kill teammates like that," Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

Hearing this, Gu Fei was somewhat longing to throw a Fire Tree Thousand Heavy Flames under the feet of the girls in Rebirth. The real pig-like teammates were clearly not one, but a group.

"Alright, stop messing around. He's still an expert, and a bunch of girls are watching you, so watch your image." Gu Fei had obviously grasped another aspect of Yu Tian Shen Ming's personality. As soon as these words came out, Yu Tian Shen Ming was indeed moved. He saw that a girl had noticed that the two of them were missing from the group and turned back to look at them, shouting, "What are you two doing? Hurry up!"

Yu Tian Shen Ming very nimbly stuffed his bow and arrows back into his pocket and waved at the girl. "Coming!"

"Let's go, let's go!" Yu Tian Shen Ming said to Gu Fei. "I'll find another chance to kill him."

"..."

Laughing and joking, everyone arrived at Piaoliu's so-called leveling spot. Everyone looked at the surrounding monsters and felt that there wasn't much difference from yesterday, and they were obviously also around level 50.

"Leveling up by fighting monsters above our level." Yu Tian Shen Ming was moved. When he took the girls leveling, he could only take them to level 40 areas. A few times, he had single-handedly challenged and defeated others to take over their territory, making him feel like he was indeed a generation's expert. But looking at it now, after someone joined the team, they immediately came to a level 50 leveling area to fight monsters above their level. The difference was obvious!

Yu Tian Shen Ming was starting to feel sad again about how he wasn't as good as he used to be, while Piaoliu was explaining to everyone, "I stayed up all night yesterday testing all the level 50 leveling areas. The fire resistance of the monsters here is the lowest, so it should be easier for us to level up."

"But we could kill everything cleanly yesterday, do we need even lower fire resistance?" The girls expressed their doubts. The girls were just bad at game operations, they weren't stupid.

Piaoliu smiled. "Safety first! If someone accidentally misses their spell yesterday, it's very likely that they won't be able to kill everything cleanly. We can rest assured when we get here!"

The girls still had some doubts in their hearts. Piaoliu was also a little strange. With their "Heavenly Descent Five Rings" level of technique, they should understand his concerns! Why were they doubting it?

Piaoliu naturally didn't know that although the girls' techniques were bad, they had been practicing throwing fire rings with Yu Tian Shen Ming for a month. If they still couldn't aim properly, then they wouldn't be pig-like teammates, they would be pigs.

In any case, this wasn't something worth thinking about deeply. Anyway, they were still killing everything instantly, it was the same no matter where they were. The girls were puzzled for a moment and then gave up, preparing to start practicing.

"Qian Li, we'll have to trouble you today." It seemed that Liu Xia had been exhausted yesterday and didn't come online today.

Gu Fei nodded. Anyway, Liu Xia was just a driver, it didn't make much difference whether she was there or not.

"Everyone as usual, let's get ready to start!" A hint of a smile flashed across Piaoliu's lips.

"Wait!" Yu Tian Shen Ming suddenly jumped out.

"Luring monsters, right? Qian Li, you rest, I'll do it..." Yu Tian Shen Ming had finally found an opportunity to repay the favor.
