Chapter 106 A Worthwhile Expression

Gu Fei's sword flower bypassed Canmeng Si's (Dead of a Lingering Dream) dagger and pierced his body.

Immediately afterward, he roared and activated the skill "Shuang Yan Shan" (Double Flame Flash), resolving Canmeng Si without any suspense. When Canmeng Si returned to the resurrection point, the calm expression on his face hadn't faded.

He didn't seem to have realized what had happened. Just now, he was still fighting Gu Fei face to face, and in the blink of an eye, he had been teleported several meters away to the resurrection point. "How magical!" Canmeng Si thought, then realized he had become level 26.

That's right, he had died twice and lost four levels.

Poor Canmeng Si. In the ambush on Jian Gui (Sword Demon), that last bit of PK value landed on his head. This little bit of PK value caused him to lose two levels each time he died, so two deaths naturally meant four levels lost.

A person's expression changing from confident composure to helpless panic is quite a spectacle.

Gu Fei stood outside the resurrection area, watching with appreciation, without moving.

The next time Canmeng Si came out, he would definitely activate Stealth. Gu Fei simply blocked the entrance, believing that Canmeng Si would notice him, so he could expose his Stealth. If he calmly ignored him, Gu Fei would be helpless.

Canmeng Si was indeed very calm, calmly standing in the resurrection point, refusing to come out.

Frankly, he had no need to come out. He could just sit there and wait for reinforcements. The four-level death penalty hadn't made Canmeng Si lose his cool.

Gu Fei helplessly sent a message to the others: "I killed him once, and now he's squatting in the resurrection point, refusing to come out."

Everyone else was also helpless. To trick a guy with Canmeng Si's experience into rushing out of the resurrection point and getting killed once was already quite an achievement.

"Luck, ah, luck!" Everyone could only sigh. Others died twice and lost nothing, while Jian Gui lost his Memory of Frost after just one death. Besides luck, there was no other reasonable explanation.

Gu Fei also regretted that Canmeng Si didn't take out the Memory of Frost to use. If he had, he might have been able to use Empty-Handed White Blade or some other grappling technique to snatch it.

Getting back the Memory of Frost was clearly a more difficult task than getting this guy whitewashed (PK value reduced to zero).

Gu Fei and Canmeng Si glared at each other across the boundary between the safe zone and the unsafe zone.

"If you have the guts, come out!" Gu Fei said. This was a common taunt in online games. Chasing someone in a game was even more exhausting than in real life. In real life, you killed them once and that was the end of it. In a game, they could revive infinitely, which was endless. No one had the patience to chase someone around all day unless they had a huge grudge. Usually, people would gather their friends and find a place for a big duel. The usual phrase was to declare war on the other party after gathering their people: "If you have the guts, come out!" But Gu Fei was just doing it by mistake. He didn't have this kind of brawling experience.

Naturally, Canmeng Si wouldn't give Gu Fei any advantages. At this moment, he was secretly laughing at Gu Fei for being an idiot. Guarding this place alone was tantamount to waiting for death. He was hoping that his brothers would hurry up and appear to chop Gu Fei into pieces. He had died four times, so he had to kill this guy four times. Oh, and his accomplices too. Each of them would get four times! And those two girls... Uh, just two times each. Canmeng Si still had time to cherish the fairer sex, which showed how deeply ingrained the idea of chivalry towards female players was in gamers' minds.

Canmeng Si was so busy fantasizing about the pleasure of revenge that he forgot to ask Gu Fei why he was cutting him down.

Gu Fei and the others were happy to keep it that way. If they didn't let him realize that this matter was related to Jian Gui and the Memory of Frost, they would have more opportunities to take back the Memory of Frost. Otherwise, if the other side came with a dozen people and swapped around, who knew who the Memory of Frost would end up with? That was why Jian Gui hadn't shown his face.

"What's the situation now?" Han Jia Gongzi (Young Master Han) asked.

"Stalemate," Gu Fei said.

"Why aren't you leaving? Their reinforcements will be here soon," You Ge (Brother You) said.

"If there are few reinforcements, I'll just kill them all. If there are many, I'll go into the safe zone. What's there to be afraid of?" Gu Fei said.

"Awesome!" The great experts sincerely admired him.

"Qian Li, how much PK value do you have?" Jian Gui showed his concern. He was the most moved one, of course, because Gu Fei was doing all this for him.

"Six points... Oh, no, seven points!" Gu Fei said tearfully.

"Tsk, tsk!" Everyone sighed.

"We're on our way, too. We'll hide in the shadows and provide you with support when necessary," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"No need. You guys better keep guarding the mailbox. In case they have a large force later and I hide in the resurrection point, won't he have to go to the mailbox to send things?" Gu Fei said.

"Makes sense." Han Jia Gongzi began to make arrangements.

"Come out, kid, come out!" Gu Fei continued to provoke him.

Canmeng Si pretended to say, "I don't see you."

Passing players stopped to watch for a while and ask a few questions. This added a lot of pressure to Canmeng Si. In everyone's eyes, Canmeng Si was quite the coward. Someone was just standing there challenging him, and he was hiding in the safe zone, afraid to come out. He was too useless. The players left with disdainful looks.

Canmeng Si was anxious and flustered. Fortunately, this situation wouldn't last long. His companions messaged him, saying that they were about to arrive at the Thieves' Guild.

"You piece of trash, useless, I despise you. I'm not wasting time with you, I'm leaving!" At this moment, Gu Fei mocked him a few times, then suddenly turned around and left.

Canmeng Si panicked. It was like reading a YY novel where the protagonist's embarrassing and frustrating growth experience was finally over, and he was just waiting for him to "ascend to the summit and survey the vastness below," when the novel was suddenly discontinued. How depressing would that be?

Thinking of this, Canmeng Si hurriedly rushed out of the safe zone, shouting, "If you have the guts, don't leave!"

As soon as he took a step out of the safe zone, a flash of fire came over, and Canmeng Si heard the word "flash" in his ear. His vision flickered, his mind went blank, and he returned to the safe zone.

Gu Fei's figure turned out from the side of the Thieves' Guild door: "Were you calling me? I haven't gone far!"

Canmeng Si felt a surge of anger in his chest, and he trembled with rage.

"Oh, you dropped something." Gu Fei bent down and picked up an item from the ground. "Double-Edged Fang? Is it yours? Tsk, tsk!" Gu Fei glanced at it casually, then tossed it away.

On the one hand, he wanted to continue to despise Canmeng Si and ruin his mood. On the other hand, he wanted to create the illusion that Gu Fei and the others had no interest in his dropped items.

And when the surrounding spectators heard the words "Double-Edged Fang," they let out envious hisses. The Double-Edged Fang was the dagger with the highest normal attack power currently available. In other words, it was the most high-end dagger currently available. Even a blank one could sell for dozens of gold coins. Seeing Gu Fei throw it away like trash caused an even greater outcry.

Several people nearby couldn't care about their image and pounced on it like wolves, and it was finally obtained by one person. After getting it in his hands, he cried out again, "Ripping effect!"

"Ripping" meant that the attack would cause a wound to the target, and the wound would cause continuous health loss. Not only would it improve efficiency when fighting monsters, but it would also be a very troublesome effect in PK. Currently, priests couldn't heal it, and to heal this kind of wound, you had to use hemostatic medicine or hemostatic bandages. Imagine trying to stop and bandage yourself in the middle of a PK. It was such a pain to create a wound in battle.

Gu Fei had stabbed Xi Xiaotian with a flying knife, and Xiao Yu had cut him out with a Whirlwind Slash, but that was due to the realism system's judgment of the degree of injury and was not the same as the "Ripping" effect attached to the equipment.

In short, the most high-end dagger, with a very practical "Ripping" effect, could easily sell for 100 gold coins, but Gu Fei just casually threw it away. The crowd didn't know what to say.

Gu Fei continued to act nonchalant and smiled at the lucky one who picked up the Double-Edged Fang.

The crowd was excited. For some reason, they had developed a good impression of Gu Fei. They began to help Gu Fei ridicule Canmeng Si. Canmeng Si felt extremely wronged. Gu Fei had killed him for no reason and even dropped his weapon. How did it become his fault?

Gu Fei didn't expect his double-edged plan to have this third effect. Seeing Canmeng Si's distorted expression, Gu Fei posted a message in the mercenary channel: "Jian Gui, you should really come over and see this guy's expression. I guarantee it's more worthwhile than killing him ten levels."

"What did you do?" everyone asked.

"I tricked him into coming out and killed him again, but unfortunately, he dropped his dagger, not the Memory of Frost," Gu Fei said with a bit of regret.

"The items equipped on the body are easier to drop than the ones in the pocket." No matter how trivial, You Ge liked to provide others with the information he knew.

"I hope he'll take out the Memory of Frost to use," Gu Fei said, looking at Canmeng Si with anticipation.

Unfortunately, Canmeng Si no longer had the courage to fight Gu Fei. He kept calling his partners in his chat channel, urging them to hurry up.

"We've arrived and are waiting for the others," someone replied.

"What are you waiting for? Come and take care of him now!" Canmeng Si hated Gu Fei to the core.

"There are only a few of us, and there are so many of them," his companion said.

"What are you talking about? There's only him," Canmeng Si said.

"Are you kidding? There's a crowd of people surrounding the Thieves' Guild," his companion said.

"Those are all onlookers. Ignore them!" Canmeng Si said.

"Are you sure?" his companion asked doubtfully. Watching the excitement was nothing new, but it was rare to see people helping out. Right now, some were cursing loudly, and more were rhythmically chanting in unison: "Come out! Come out! If you have the guts, come out!" Were they just watching the excitement? They were clearly challenging him!

"They're really just watching the excitement!" Canmeng Si was about to cry. "Come in and kill that guy!"

"We're coming, we're coming!" A few companions thought that since no one knew them anyway, it shouldn't be a problem to squeeze in and see what was going on. They immediately joined the crowd, pretending to be curious and asking the players around them, "Brothers, what's going on? So lively!"

The player pointed to Gu Fei, who was standing in the middle of the circle with a carefree attitude: "This brother is awesome. I don't know why he's chasing him, but he doesn't even look at the good equipment that drops and just throws it aside. The guy inside..." The player pointed to Canmeng Si in the safe zone and continued to introduce: "That guy is a coward. I mean, a guy with a Double-Edged Fang with a Ripping effect should be a fierce guy, right? Now he's huddled in there, not even daring to fart. Tsk, tsk, what a coward!"

Although their brother was being despised, the newcomers were relieved to know that these people were indeed spectators, but they had chosen to stand on Gu Fei's side and help out because of Canmeng Si's overly cowardly performance. But it was all about to end. This kid's arrogance was about to reach its end.

The men exchanged glances and suddenly jumped into the circle together.

"Damn, they're here!" Canmeng Si slapped his thigh, his dejected look swept away. He wasn't afraid of alerting Gu Fei. In his opinion, seven of his brothers had arrived, while Gu Fei was alone. There was nothing to be afraid of anymore.

Gu Fei heard the sound and turned around, seeing seven guys standing behind him, staring menacingly. The crowd that had been helping Gu Fei suddenly fell silent. Players were very practical. Helping out was just for fun. Now that they saw the PK situation escalating, they might be dragged into the mess if they kept yelling, so they all chose to shut up.

"They're here," Gu Fei said. "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The seven men looked at each other, simultaneously wary and looking around. Was there an ambush? The seven men thought.

But there was nothing unusual around.

Gu Fei looked at their attire and pointed at them one by one: "Mage? Archer? Warrior? Thief? Priest? Knight? You..." He hesitated for a moment, pointing at the last one: "You're a fighter, right?"

"I'm a warrior too!" The last man was dissatisfied. He recognized the other six classes, so why couldn't he recognize his own?

"What a pity!" Gu Fei said with a regretful expression. "If you were a fighter, you'd have all seven classes! Each with their own strengths, just like the Hulu Brothers (Calabash Brothers), how spectacular!"

The seven men glared at Gu Fei, wondering if there was some deeper meaning in these inexplicable words.

"You go!" Gu Fei said to the seventh little warrior. "Find a fighter to replace you. You won't be a match for me later. Maybe seven Hulu Brothers can combine into a Diamond Calabash Brother."

"Damn it!" They realized that this guy was just pretending to be stupid and making fun of them. The seven men were furious and surrounded him, brandishing their weapons.

Gu Fei sighed. It wasn't difficult for him to deal with seven people, but the PK value was about to increase by seven points again.

"Repel Fire Ring, cast!" Gu Fei raised his sword and gave the order, releasing a spell that mages mastered at level 6. However, this was just the most basic and weakest defensive skill for mages. The game design naturally didn't make it look ferocious. Only when the proficiency was high would its shape become closer to the definition of a fire ring.

Unfortunately, Gu Fei's current proficiency was close to zero. A small fireball slowly circled around Gu Fei, looking lonely and desolate, making Gu Fei, surrounded by the seven men, look very pathetic.

Seeing this scene, the seven men laughed嚣张ly. One of them, remembering Gu Fei's mocking words about the Hulu Brothers, said sarcastically, "Brother, your little ball looks so powerful. We're so scared!"

"Is that so? Then don't come over," Gu Fei said calmly.

"Yeah! I don't dare to come over." The man said as he stepped toward Gu Fei. He was a warrior, and the weak damage of the Repel Fire Ring was just a trivial matter to him.

In the blink of an eye, the warrior had reached the range of Gu Fei's Repel Fireball.

His proficiency was low, and even the range was small. The warrior and Gu Fei were almost face to face. And the speed of the fireball was so slow that it was infuriating. It floated like a will-o'-the-wisp, as if it could fall at any moment. The warrior even had time to laugh and speak, watching the small fireball: "Oh dear, your little ball is about to float onto me. I'm going to die. Help!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fireball floated onto him, and Gu Fei's Dark Night Flowing Light Sword quietly thrust out at the same time...

With both attacks working together, white light rose, the warrior disappeared, and the small fireball was still alive and well, continuing to float around Gu Fei with a weak force.

Gu Fei shook his head and sighed, "You left so gently, just as you came."

Gu Fei waved his sleeve and looked up: "Next."

The remaining six brothers looked at each other, unable to tell how the warrior had died. Had he been killed by the Repel Fireball? As rational players, no one believed such an absurd fact.

They suspected that there was something fishy about Gu Fei, or that someone else was attacking from the shadows.

The mage among the six men waved his staff: "Fireball, shoot!"

A fireball shot out.

"Well done!" Gu Fei shouted. He met the fireball head-on with his sword.

Gu Fei had wanted to try this for a long time. The tracking function of the Fireball spell made it difficult to dodge. Gu Fei remembered that Xiao Yu had once split a Fireball spell with an ax, and he thought that this method of dealing with fireballs was pretty good.

He met the wind with his sword, and the fireball exploded in mid-air. Gu Fei felt the heat wave of the flames spreading out and glanced at his health. There was a tiny bit of decrease. It seemed that his sword had split the fireball into a spell with area damage. But with just this bit of damage, it was nothing.

"Don't be fooled by that guy. Hurry up and kill him together!" Canmeng Si in the safe zone was jumping with anxiety. In his opinion, his side had the numbers, and Gu Fei was forced to provoke them. The warrior had obviously been careless and tricked, and he had been killed by Gu Fei with some unknown technique, making the remaining people suspicious. Now, he had just split a fireball, and everyone was looking at him differently. With the speed of that fireball, was it difficult to split it?

"These idiots!" Canmeng Si cursed in his heart, constantly urging, "He's just bluffing. It's just him alone. What's there to be afraid of!"

"Attack!" The six men gritted their teeth, shouted, and surrounded him together.

Back then, Gu Fei could stand undefeated against the encirclement of Qian Chen by dancing his sword in circles. Now, he had learned about the power of his spells and had begun to use "Shuang Yan Shan" in combination with his kung fu moves. It could be said that Gu Fei's long-standing problem of weak attack power had been resolved in a very powerful way, although it was not the method he had expected. But no matter what, the fact was: he had become stronger.

Gu Fei didn't take the encirclement of six men seriously at all.

Gu Fei slightly dodged the attacks of the warrior, knight, and thief who had come close to him. The damage caused by the Repel Fire Ring as it floated onto them caused them to scream.

"What is this!!!" The warrior roared after losing half of his health. He was different from the warrior who had sacrificed himself earlier. He had focused on constitution, and his health was thicker, but he was still frightened by the damage.

"Quick, heal me!" The three men shouted at the priest, scrambling to be the first.

Unfortunately, the current priest could only heal one target at a time and didn't know what to do. He cast a healing spell randomly at one target. Gu Fei didn't care who he healed and shouted, "Shuang Yan Shan!" which lit up once again.

After using this spell many times, Gu Fei had quickly grasped many of its key points.

This spell summoned a flame to ignite the target. If you were holding a weapon, the flame would appear on the weapon. If you were empty-handed, the flame would appear between your fingers.

Unlike other spells, "Shuang Yan Shan" didn't fly toward the target like a fireball. It was like an ordinary match that had been lit. To ignite a target, the hand holding the match had to send the flame over.

In addition, once a Fireball spell touched a target, it immediately exploded and disappeared. The flame of Shuang Yan Shan lasted for a short period of time, which meant that any target that touched the flame during this period would be ignited.

In other words, if used properly, Shuang Yan Shan could also achieve area damage.

However, for ordinary mages, it was already good enough to ignite the intended target once with the flame.

And Gu Fei, the full-agility mage, could control the "Shuang Yan Shan" to burn 180 degrees due to his faster attack speed. As he put in more agility in the future, 360 degrees, or even 720 degrees, might be possible.

In this "Shuang Yan Shan," Gu Fei burned from left to right, and the knight and thief in front of him had been taken care of.

The warrior behind him was already thick-skinned, and he had just received the priest's healing spell. He thought that he could survive, but the small fireball of the Repel Fire Ring had floated around again and was about to burn him again.

The warrior retreated in shock, but he couldn't keep up with Gu Fei's pace.

As Gu Fei followed, he thrust out his long sword and chanted, "Fireball, shoot!"

With all three attacks combined, the warrior couldn't resist. White light rose, and he went to join his warrior comrade.

Gu Fei turned his sword and pointed it at the mage and archer who were searching for gaps in the encirclement to attack him. But most of his attention was focused behind him.

Gu Fei hadn't forgotten that his goal for this trip was just one: Canmeng Si.

When the six men swarmed in, he noticed that Canmeng Si had activated Stealth and quietly slipped out.

At this time, the archer and mage had realized how powerful Gu Fei was and didn't dare to face him head-on. They were frantically moving around in the small circle formed by the crowd outside the Thieves' Guild, looking for an opportunity to attack Gu Fei.

Unfortunately, Gu Fei wasn't the slow-moving mage they imagined.

In a few strides, Gu Fei had caught up with the mage. He raised his sword and slashed, and before the mage could even utter two words of his incantation, he had been taken care of.

The archer saw that Gu Fei had chased the mage first and thought that he had an opportunity. He quickly reached for his arrows, preparing to strike, but he didn't expect Gu Fei to take care of the mage so quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had turned around and was striding toward him.

In this small circle outside the door, the archer's long-range attack advantage couldn't be used at all. It amplified his slow attack shortcomings of having to nock the arrow, draw the bow, and aim. Before the arrow could be fired, Gu Fei had reached him. He panicked, and the arrow went haywire. A scream came from the surrounding crowd.

The archer turned and ran, but Gu Fei didn't chase him. He could already feel the killing intent approaching behind him.

Here it comes! Gu Fei concentrated and suddenly flashed forward quickly.

The figure behind him appeared at the same time, shouting, "Damn it!" Canmeng Si was extremely annoyed. Why did he have to attack at the exact moment that the other party took that step? He hadn't realized that Gu Fei had intentionally dodged.

"I'm here!" At the same time that Canmeng Si revealed himself, a shout came from the crowd, and a fiery red figure darted out like lightning.

Gu Fei ignored this. Because in the instant he turned back, he had seen clearly that Canmeng Si was holding Jian Gui's Memory of Frost.

Even if he had to be killed and lose levels, he had to get back the Memory of Frost first.

Gu Fei put his sword back into his pocket and was prepared to act recklessly.

But he didn't expect this "I'm here" to rush toward Canmeng Si, not Gu Fei. She had already arrived in front of him and shouted, "Hey!" Canmeng Si was overturned by her, and then she swung her arm. Gu Fei reached out in a hurry, but it was too late. He watched helplessly as Canmeng Si and the Memory of Frost were thrown out of the crowd.

Looking at the person in front of him, Lie Lie (Fiercely) looked at Gu Fei triumphantly: "Thanks to me for saving you!"

"You idiot!" Gu Fei shouted at her and chased after him without looking back.

"Damn it! What did you say!" Lie Lie flew into a rage and chased after him, swinging her fists.
