Chapter 176 PK Value of 29

Gu Fei's sudden appearance completely changed the situation on the plaza. Two Meteoric Falls shattered the Vanguard's meat shields. Even the Warriors were powerless to resist. No matter how high their defense was, it was useless; Gu Fei's attack was magic-based and required magic defense to withstand. Silvermoon, for example, survived Gu Fei's Meteoric Fall because of his impressive magic defense.

Gu Fei glanced at his PK value mid-battle; it had soared to 28, bringing tears to his eyes. The hours spent squatting in Youye Valley were wasted. How would he ever wash it clean at this rate? Even worse, at level 30, the NPCs would start hunting him down. Combat-class NPCs were everywhere in the city, like the guards stationed outside the Mage Academy. How terrifying were their abilities? No one knew, and Gu Fei didn't think he needed to be the first to find out.

He had to keep it under 30. With this in mind, Gu Fei saved the last spot for Silvermoon.

Swords clashed, spells flew, and several techniques were used, but Silvermoon remained standing. The reason was simple: he was surrounded by a group of Priests who spammed healing spells as if mana was free. Gu Fei stabbed him with his sword, and three or four healing spells were cast. It was fortunate the game didn't have a mechanic for overhealing, or Silvermoon would have exploded from the excessive healing.

After a few more rounds, a more significant turning point occurred: Silvermoon ran out of mana, and the "King's Order" time was up.

The golden light dissipated, and the Silvermoon Legion returned to the mortal realm. Yun Zhongmu and the others cheered. They were unaware this was the natural result of Silvermoon running out of mana and attributed the accomplishment to Gu Fei, who had been entangled with Silvermoon.

The Warriors of the Silvermoon Legion clearly hadn't adjusted to returning to the mortal realm from their buffed state. They still thought they were powerful, but they were soon met with a brutal assault from Yun Zhongmu and the others, their health plummeting.

First, the "King's Order" state was gone.

Second, a large number of Priests had died, and many others were too busy tending to Silvermoon.

Yun Zhongmu and the others got carried away, crushing the Warriors, charging toward the Priests, and casually slaughtering the Knights around them. In the blink of an eye, the outnumbered Vanguard was in shambles. Silvermoon looked around and could hardly find any of his subordinates. It was a complete disaster.

Knights were already a class with mediocre solo combat abilities, and Silvermoon had used up all his mana. He couldn't even cast a small buff on himself. He was relying on his high defense to withstand Gu Fei's attacks! Now, without the Priests' support, his health started dropping rapidly. As for his King's Sword, its attack power was frightening, but the problem was that he couldn't land a hit on Gu Fei; its attack power was useless.

At this moment, Jian Gui quietly snuck up to Silvermoon and unleashed a Backstab with all his might. The battle had lasted so long that many people had run out of mana. Jian Gui's ability to save a Backstab showed his foresight.

Seeing Jian Gui appear, Yu Tian Shenming seemed to receive a signal. He drew his bow and fired an arrow. A Snipe accurately hit Silvermoon. Gu Fei followed up with another sword strike, and Silvermoon turned into white light.

Gu Fei immediately opened his personal stats and saw a bloody PK value of 29. He burst into tears. If only that sword strike had come sooner; at least the PK value could have been attributed to Yu Tian Shenming.

In Gu Fei's eyes, the battle was over once Silvermoon was defeated. Yun Zhongmu and the others didn't think so. They rallied their forces, shouting, "Beat the drowning dog!" and assigned several squads to pursue and kill them at the various resurrection points.

Indeed, the battle was far from over. It could only be said that the battle in the Mage Academy plaza resulted in a victory against the Vanguard. The conflict between the Vanguard and Yun Zhongmu's group would clearly be a protracted war of attrition. This was just an online game; human lives were endless, and battles would be difficult to end. It was a test of which side lost its will to fight first. The one who persevered to the end would be the true victor.

Today's large-scale confrontation with the Vanguard ultimately served only one purpose: to bring the Vanguard down to the same level as Yun Zhongmu's group, making the strengths of both sides roughly equal and preventing the Vanguard from completely suppressing them as before.

To say they had defeated the Vanguard was a long way off. After witnessing Silvermoon's insane group battle support skill, many people would probably still be optimistic about the Vanguard's future.

Jian Gui watched the surrounding players running around with murderous intent, his expression particularly world-weary. For him, the mission was over. Let Yun Zhongmu and the others handle the rest!

As Jian Gui thought this, he suddenly saw Gu Fei walking in one direction, his robe swaying.

"Where are you going?" Jian Gui quickly chased after him.

"Washing off PK value..." Gu Fei said tearfully.

Jian Gui remembered the two heroic Meteoric Falls and patted him on the shoulder, "Be careful."

Gu Fei waved and left, oblivious to the surrounding scenes of fighting and killing.

Yun Zhongmu, having finished assigning people, approached Jian Gui. "Your brother is too fierce."

Jian Gui nodded.

"I owe him a big favor. We would have been finished if he hadn't appeared in time," Yun Zhongmu said.

"..."

"Where is he going?" Yun Zhongmu asked strangely, watching Gu Fei's disappearing back on the street.

"Washing off PK value..." Jian Gui replied.

Yun Zhongmu recalled the two Meteoric Falls from earlier and was frightened, "His PK value must be at least 20, right?" He suddenly remembered that he was also carrying the 27149 mission and checked it: 29. He was shocked. He was only one point away from the NPC activation. A PK value of 30 meant jail time was the least of his worries; getting caught meant losing 5 levels first. The punishment was truly terrifying. This guy is a true hero, Yun Zhongmu thought.

Yu Tian Shenming, Han Jia公子, and You Ge on the rooftop also climbed down and came to the plaza. They looked around but didn't see Gu Fei. They also asked Jian Gui, "Where did Qian Li go?"

"Washing off PK value..." Jian Gui was already tired of answering.

Han Jia公子 glanced at Yun Zhongmu and Jian Gui, "If Qian Li hadn't shown up, you'd all be finished."

The two remained silent.

"Idiots! If the enemies reach the front lines, the Mages won't dare to attack? They'll blow up their own people too, and they'll suffer greater losses! As long as they take out those arrogant Warriors in the front..."

Han Jia公子 was only halfway through his sentence when Yun Zhongmu suddenly stepped forward and tore open Han Jia公子's collar. The Thief's speed was much faster than the Priest's; Han Jia公子 didn't even dodge. Yu Tian Shenming and Jian Gui were shocked, but the stance was clearly not an attack. However, this action also meant that Yun Zhongmu was genuinely angry, probably because of Jian Gui's presence, he didn't kill him.

"What are you doing?" Han Jia公子 asked expressionlessly.

"Remember, we will never attack our own brothers, even if it means our own death!" Yun Zhongmu roared.

"Idiot!" Han Jia公子 remained expressionless.

"What did you say?!" Yun Zhongmu wanted to attack, but not with skills or attacks like in the game. Instead, he raised his fist to punch Han Jia公子 in the face. Jian Gui and You Ge quickly stepped forward to separate the two.

"If you have that much energy, you should quickly think of a way to deal with Silvermoon! As long as his skill is still there, you bunch of rabble will be finished sooner or later!" Han Jia公子 said coldly.

"Damn it, who are you calling rabble!" Yun Zhongmu wanted to rush back again but was held back by Jian Gui.

"You're all supposed to be online gaming experts. If you want to fight, use skills and equipment, not fists and kicks. It's unprofessional." Yu Tian Shenming hadn't stepped forward to mediate earlier, and his words now sounded like schadenfreude.

No one paid attention to him. You Ge was trying to persuade Yun Zhongmu, "公子 is right. You should quickly think of a way to deal with Silvermoon, or he'll gather his people again and use that skill. How will you resist?"

Yun Zhongmu didn't speak. He understood the reasoning, of course. He glared at Han Jia公子 hatefully and then turned around to rally his men again.

In a moment, only the four members of the mercenary group were left on the plaza, staring at each other.

"Where's Wu Shang?" Yu Tian Shenming looked around, not finding Zhan Wu Shang.

"He got carried away with the killing and followed the Warriors to raid the Thief Guild," Jian Gui replied.

"What about us?" Yu Tian Shenming asked.

"You all have PK values, right? If you have nothing to do, let's go wash them off together!" Jian Gui said.

But the three shook their heads, "No..."

Jian Gui was depressed. He had charged into battle with Yun Zhongmu and also acquired 4 points of PK value.

Moonnight City was in chaos at this moment. Fighting and killing were everywhere, as if the Japanese devils had invaded the village. Besides the members of the two PK-ing factions, no one else could be seen on the streets. Even watching the fun required a certain atmosphere. The atmosphere in Moonnight City was definitely not suitable for watching the fun. If you stood by and winked during a group fight, you might incur the resentment of both sides.

Gu Fei walked towards the Wanted Task distribution office. Along the way, the Vanguard's troops were in complete disarray. At this moment, Gu Fei felt like he was like Silvermoon's skill, "King's Order."

When the two PK-ing factions saw Gu Fei, the Vanguard's people would immediately shrink back, and some would even start fleeing. On the other hand, when Yun Zhongmu's people saw Gu Fei approaching, they immediately felt like they had gained an incredibly solid support, so much so that Thieves dared to fight Warriors and Mages chased Archers.

In fact, Gu Fei had no intention of fighting anymore. He was still rational, firmly holding the 29-point bottom line.

Soon, he arrived at the task distribution office. This place was originally the most popular place in Moonnight City, but now it was sparsely populated. In the current situation, who would dare to come and accept tasks? What if the task target happened to be one of the two factions wreaking havoc? Wouldn't that be courting death? Those who were still at the task distribution office were watching the data on the wanted list refresh, finding some fun. The confrontation between the two major forces could actually reveal some clues here.

As Gu Fei entered, he saw someone cheering, "Wow, this one has been raised to 7, so fierce!"

Hearing this, Gu Fei quickly rushed over, "Where? Where?"

The other person pointed, and Gu Fei immediately accepted this target as a task without hesitation.

The other person was stunned as Gu Fei left.

"This person is crazy; he accepted the PK value 7 task!"

"Shhh!!" Someone next to him gestured for him not to speak.

"What?" This person was confused.

"He's this!!!" The other person pulled up the overall wanted list and pointed to the 27149 at the top.

Observed from the book reviews that everyone doesn't want the protagonist to have a good ending! It's good that I'm protecting him, haha!
