Hu Die Lan
Chapter 95 Farewell to Moonlit City
The peerless Gu Fei accepted another task, spurred on by his last four PK points, and headed straight for the warrior camp without even looking at the coordinates. When he got there, he was dumbfounded. The warrior camp was empty, and the Quan Chen people had disappeared.
"Where is everyone?" Gu Fei asked the surrounding crowd.
"Offline!" everyone said in anguish.
Gu Fei suddenly understood. No wonder he hadn't heard any coordinate refresh notifications along the way. He opened the quest log and, sure enough, the place where the coordinates should have been displayed in the wanted quest column read "Offline."
These people are too bad! Gu Fei thought, disgruntled. Being able to accept this guy's quest meant that he was still online before. He should have waited until I killed him before going offline! No professional ethics at all. Gu Fei sighed.
It was very sad when a quest target was offline. Because you couldn't cancel it and get another one. It was a somewhat unreasonable aspect.
Gu Fei stared blankly at the empty warrior camp, and the large crowd squatting outside the warrior camp was also at a loss. Other places were still in full swing, but the warriors here were all offline. What was that about? Shouldn't warriors be the main force of the Quan Chen guild?
The news spread quickly. Before long, Yun Zhong Mu himself arrived at the scene. Jian Gui was no longer involved in their actions, and Yun Zhong Mu had taken over as the primary commander.
"Quan Chen is finished!" Seeing the empty warrior camp, Yun Zhong Mu's face lit up with joy. Gu Fei heard his voice and turned around. Their eyes met, and there was a hint of awkwardness.
Eight hours ago, Yun Zhong Mu had led a few brothers to assassinate Gu Fei to avenge his brother, Bu Xiao.
Eight hours later, Gu Fei was a key figure in helping Yun Zhong Mu. From beginning to end: the opportunity was created because of Gu Fei, and the defeat was reversed thanks to Gu Fei's timely appearance.
Yun Zhong Mu didn't know how to face Gu Fei for a moment. Suddenly, the words that Zhu Xian had shouted at him before surfaced in his mind: "Things must be settled one at a time." Those words made sense. Yun Zhong Mu nodded, remembering them at this moment. He was just about to step forward to express his gratitude to Gu Fei for today's events when he saw Gu Fei take two steps forward, enter the warrior camp, and disappear in a flash of white light.
Yun Zhong Mu was stunned. He immediately opened the quest log, and the coordinates of 27149 had become "Offline."
Gu Fei, who had been online for more than eight hours, reaching a day's work time, greeted Jian Gui and the others and went offline to rest first.
Gu Fei's departure, of course, did not mean the end of the battle. Moonlit Night City was still a breeding ground for war, and the situation continued until the next day when Gu Fei went online again.
The location was still the warrior camp.
Behind him, the resurrection point was the warrior camp, and in front of the camp gate was the "Defeat Quan Chen Legion."
Gu Fei rubbed his eyes, almost unable to believe what he saw, until he felt the murderous aura swarming from behind. Gu Fei quickly窜came out of the resurrection area. The Quan Chen warriors had learned their lesson this time, and no one chased him out of the camp.
"You... haven't been offline at all?" Gu Fei asked in surprise, looking around. Everyone's face was filled with exhaustion.
"We took turns going offline to rest." The guy directly in front of Gu Fei answered him.
"Don't you have to go to work?" Gu Fei swallowed these words. He remembered the expressions on Han Jia Gong Zi and the others when he said this at the time. It seemed to be... a barrier. For these guys, the game was their job and career.
Gu Fei didn't stay idle for too long. Jian Gui and the others had already sent messages. They had agreed to return to Cloudrise City, waiting for Gu Fei to go online and travel together.
"I'm leaving!" Gu Fei greeted the people around him. Although they could be said to be complete strangers, at least in the past few days, their positions were the same.
These people didn't react for a moment and blurted out, "Where are you going?"
"Returning to Cloudrise City!" Gu Fei said, suddenly remembering something, "Ah! I almost forgot!"
Saying that, he turned back and glanced at the warrior camp. With an arrow step, he had already rushed back, the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword already in his hand. The warrior he charged toward could only gape and drool. After three moves, he died under Gu Fei's sword. The other Quan Chen warriors then reacted, but it was too late. Gu Fei had already clapped his hands and left the warrior camp. The warriors pounded their chests and stamped their feet, angrily scolding Gu Fei for being shameless, attacking without even a hint of warning.
Gu Fei smiled and bid farewell to the crowd, while also thanking the Quan Chen warriors for their help. This was genuine. Gu Fei always remembered why he had come to Moonlit Night City – because he had run away due to his high PK value. And now, Gu Fei had finally washed away this leaden burden.
Returning to the quest release point and handing in the quest, Gu Fei's PK value finally returned to zero. After leaving the quest release point, Gu Fei saw that no one was around and breathed a long sigh of relief, tearing off the mask on his face. From this moment on, the code name 27149 finally became history.
On the way to meet Jian Gui and the others, Gu Fei thought of Xiao Yu and quickly sent her a message.
Xiao Yu was very surprised: "You just came the day before yesterday, and you're leaving today?"
It turned out that it had only been two days. It all felt like a dream... Gu Fei was filled with emotion. For him, who was full of passion, time inevitably felt like it was passing very slowly. And for Xiao Yu, who was repeatedly grinding a common quest, time would naturally feel like it was passing very quickly.
And Xiao Yu had been holed up in Nightglow Village for the past two days, studying the cellar of the wealthy Adrian. She was trying to find a way to effectively swindle all the wealth inside. She was completely unaware of the upheaval in Moonlit Night City over the past day.
"When you went offline, didn't you notice anything unusual?" Gu Fei felt that he was becoming more and more impressed with Xiao Yu.
"No!" Xiao Yu said.
"Where did you go offline?" Gu Fei asked.
"At the fighter dojo," Xiao Yu said.
Gu Fei was relieved. Because there were few fighter-class players, the fighter dojo offline area had not become a battlefield, and it had become the only refuge for the remaining players in Moonlit Night City these days.
"How coincidental that you happened to go offline there!" Gu Fei said.
"Uh, the first day I went offline at the warrior camp. But... it's really embarrassing. When I came back from Nightglow Village the second day, I couldn't find my way again. Later, I asked someone, and they told me that I had to go offline at the fighter dojo," Xiao Yu said.
"Didn't they tell you why?" Gu Fei asked casually.
"Is there even a need to say? Of course, it's because it's close, you're so stupid!" Xiao Yu mocked Gu Fei.
Gu Fei was depressed for a long time before asking, "When are you going back to Cloudrise City?"
"Ah! I don't plan to go back yet. There are so many quests here! I think I can do them for the rest of my life. Can you go back and ask Sister Qiyue if the guild can move to Moonlit Night City!" Xiao Yu said.
"Okay, I'll ask..." Gu Fei wiped his sweat. Talking to Xiao Yu was more exciting than dueling Yin Yue.
After that, he sent messages to Liu Xia and Nuo Fu Jiu Xing. These two were new friends that Gu Fei had made during his trip to Moonlit Night City, and he said hello to say goodbye.
Nuo Fu Jiu Xing was not online at this time, but Liu Xia replied quickly: "I'm going to Cloudrise City too!"
"You're going too?"
"Did you forget? My friends have already gone, and I'm going to meet up with them," Liu Xia said.
"Oh, then do you want to... go together?" Gu Fei asked.
"Okay!"
So Gu Fei reported the meeting place.
At the entrance of the tavern next to the east gate of the town, Gu Fei saw Jian Gui and the others. To his surprise, Yun Zhong Mu was also there, as well as Zhu Xian and his group of brothers.
At this time, to mask or not to mask, that was the question.
"Don't come over, pretend you don't know us!" Jian Gui had obviously seen Gu Fei.
"Okay!" Gu Fei responded and continued walking toward the tavern. He saw them only glance over casually before entering the tavern. Before entering, he heard Yun Zhong Mu say, "It's rare to come to Moonlit Night City, why not play for a few more days? Why are you going back so soon?"
"This is too real..." Gu Fei thought, suddenly receiving another message. He opened it and saw it was from Han Jia Gong Zi: "Do you know how fake and pretentious the two glances you just gave were?"
"What's wrong?" Gu Fei asked, puzzled.
"When encountering a face as stunning as mine, you should take a few more glances, then be stunned for a moment, and then realize that all of this is not a dream. That's how it's realistic," Han Jia Gong Zi said.
Gu Fei was in tears: "Your looks are not enough to be an excuse for you to be disgusting!"
As soon as the message was sent, Han Jia Gong Zi appeared in front of Gu Fei with a dark face.
"Don't forget, you're a priest!" Gu Fei tapped the table lightly, "I don't blink when I kill people."
Han Jia Gong Zi went out with a dark face again.
Outside the door, Yun Zhong Mu and the others were calling Jian Gui brothers and sisters endlessly. Gu Fei sat idly in the room, suddenly seeing a girl enter the tavern, standing next to him and looking around.
"Where are you?" Liu Xia sent a message.
Gu Fei tugged at her cloak: "Here."
Liu Xia lowered her head, glanced at Gu Fei, took two steps away, and then Gu Fei received another message: "Where are you? I'm here."
"Here! Didn't I say I was here?" Gu Fei knocked on the table.
Liu Xia looked at him in surprise, with an incredulous expression. Gu Fei was very depressed. Could it be that the difference between his appearance and what she imagined was too great? There was no reason! Only Jian Gui could have such a subversive effect.
It was a bit awkward to continue looking at each other like this. Gu Fei coughed, "What are you looking at?"
Liu Xia quickly came over and sat next to Gu Fei, looking sneaky: "Qian Li Zui told you to wait for me here?"
"What are you talking about? I am Qian Li Zui," Gu Fei said.
"How is that possible?" Liu Xia was surprised, and was about to say something, when suddenly she looked blank again: "Eh, why is the quest gone?"
"What quest?" Gu Fei asked.
"The wanted quest. I accepted the wanted quest for Qian Li," Liu Xia said.
"Oh!" Gu Fei understood. It turned out that Liu Xia didn't see the display of 27149 on him, so she didn't think it was him. He immediately explained: "I've already washed off my PK value."
"What? I remember you had 29 points yesterday! How did you wash it off so quickly?" Liu Xia said in surprise.
"Uh, there have been fights everywhere in the city these past few days. There are many people with high PK values!" Gu Fei said.
Liu Xia understood.
"By the way, there's a small matter, see if you can help me with it," Gu Fei said.
