Chapter 100 A Grand Chapter

After verifying how Gu Fei utilized the magical damage of the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword, Yu Tian Shenming felt a great sense of accomplishment. In high spirits, he continued to lecture Gu Fei on various techniques used in mage combat.

These were all summarized from his past gaming experiences. Although different games had their own merits, the overall design of the mage class never strayed too far. The only differences lay in the skills; the characteristics of mages remained the same. Therefore, he only needed to compare them with the mage skills in "Parallel World" and filter out the usable ones.

Currently, the few spells that had appeared in "Parallel World" were extremely common, so one could imagine how thoroughly players had researched these skills. Based on the characteristics of these spells, Yu Tian Shenming listed a long string of points, regardless of whether Gu Fei could remember them or not. Gu Fei listened with rapt attention.

He suddenly became interested because these methods and techniques sounded like a new form of kung fu to him.

How to use past mage skills involved dancing one's fingers on the keyboard and mouse, something that Gu Fei had no interest in. However, in "Parallel World," everything depended on the character's own observation, movement, and release. This was obviously very different.

However, after Yu Tian Shenming discussed the theory and grabbed a small monster for Gu Fei to practice on, they were both quickly stunned.

Gu Fei simulated all the movement steps and attack timings that Yu Tian Shenming requested, which was enough to surprise Yu Tian Shenming. But what surprised them the most was that the final technique application failed.

Perhaps it couldn't be considered a failure; it was just that the technique clearly didn't achieve the effect Yu Tian Shenming expected in "Parallel World."

Yu Tian Shenming had overlooked a very real problem in "Parallel World": players had lost the God's-eye view of previous online games. Players here were no longer facing a monitor with eyes everywhere.

"This… it seems that a lot of places have to be modified," Yu Tian Shenming muttered. "You can't see what's behind you, right?"

"Damn it, this is very troublesome!" Before Gu Fei could speak, Yu Tian Shenming was already going crazy. "Some things I need to practice myself to try out, but now, now!! Damn…" Yu Tian Shenming threw the longbow in his hand heavily on the ground: "Screw archers."

"It's okay, just tell me these techniques, and I'll try them myself," Gu Fei said. In fact, Gu Fei was the expert in observing, positioning, and seizing the opportunity to attack in this realistic situation. He just couldn't bear to stimulate Yu Tian Shenming any further, seeing how he acted like "I'm number one in the world" whenever he mentioned mages.

Frankly speaking, it was perhaps a fortunate thing that Yu Tian Shenming didn't choose a mage this time.

The brand-new game mode rendered many techniques that could be used when banging on the keyboard unreliable, and players were facing the challenge of researching new combat methods and techniques. In this regard, Gu Fei, a newbie to online games, had unceremoniously become an expert.

Physicists are usually divided into theoretical physicists and experimental physicists depending on their focus. Players in online games often have similar distinctions; for example, Brother You was a rather extreme theoretician.

But in the current "Parallel World," players were being forced to divide into two categories due to their own abilities and adaptation problems.

Sword Demon and other former experts could only be considered theoreticians under this brand-new game mode. But Gu Fei was an experimental scholar, and a top-notch experimental scholar at that.

At this time, Yu Tian Shenming and Gu Fei were like theoretical physicists and experimental physicists.

One provides the theory, while the other puts the theory into practice.

It's just that in "Parallel World," experimentation was much more difficult than theory.

In the current situation, some of Yu Tian Shenming's theories had been verified as failures, and Gu Fei himself was preparing to take on the responsibility of the theoretical scholar.

The two left the training area and returned to Cloud End City. Yu Tian Shenming led Gu Fei to an unusually lively street. The wide roads were lined with players sitting on the ground, spreading out cloths in front of them, displaying all kinds of things, mostly equipment and raw materials for life professions.

"There's a place like this!" Gu Fei exclaimed. He had seen many street vendors, but he didn't know there was a street dedicated to them. The main city was very large, and Gu Fei only walked a straight line every day, so there were many places he hadn't been to.

"Why not consign it to the auction house?" Gu Fei asked Yu Tian Shenming.

"The auction house system charges a fee, which is based on your pricing and calculated by the number of days. So, if you put something there that doesn't sell, you'll definitely lose money," Yu Tian Shenming said.

"I see!" Gu Fei nodded.

Yu Tian Shenming looked at him: "I've always suspected you're a newbie, and now I believe it!"

Gu Fei smiled, unconcerned. From the perspective of online games, he was indeed a newbie, and a very unambitious one at that. He had been playing the game for so long, and his knowledge of online games hadn't improved much.

Yu Tian Shenming finally stopped in front of a stall that looked quite large. The goods on this stall were more dazzling than those of other players. Gu Fei glanced at the owner and suddenly understood. A lifelike white-robed handsome guy, but it was obvious that he was an NPC, with a smile that was too professional.

Yu Tian Shenming bought a large number of small notebooks and quills here. Gu Fei now knew where these things came from and couldn't help but sigh again. Gu Fei could imagine what Yu Tian Shenming was going to do with these things and couldn't help but admire Yu Tian Shenming's extensive knowledge of online games. Just specializing in mages required so many notebooks to record. How many kung fu manuals would that be? Gu Fei wondered.

"Are you going to write all your techniques in these notebooks?" Gu Fei still asked.

Yu Tian Shenming nodded: "If I just say it all, I don't think you'll remember it."

Gu Fei nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."

Yu Tian Shenming's eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you think it's possible to sell these techniques for money?"

"Does the game have movable type printing?" Gu Fei asked back.

Yu Tian Shenming's eyes immediately dimmed. These techniques were about to be largely eliminated in "Parallel World," and they couldn't even generate this bit of residual heat.

Gu Fei patted him: "After I summarize them, we can start a class and charge tuition. I'll give you half."

"Will that work?" Yu Tian Shenming was stunned.

"That's my profession," Gu Fei smiled.

"Okay! It's settled then. I'm going to compile teaching materials for you now!" Yu Tian Shenming shook the stack of notebooks in his hand.

"I'll walk around and see how the recruitment is going," Gu Fei said.

"Damn it!" Yu Tian Shenming cursed and left the trading street first.

Gu Fei, on the other hand, was looking for novelty and continued to stroll around the street, listening to the bargaining sounds of the players all around, feeling like he was in a vegetable market, except the air was fresher.

"Violent Fei!!!" Walking along, he suddenly heard someone call out. From this strange nickname, Gu Fei already knew who it was. Turning his head, he saw Xi Xiaotian wearing a thief's cloak, covering her face, squatting sneakily in the corner, with a dilapidated stall in front of her.

Gu Fei cautiously glanced around, and it didn't seem like there were any traps or pitfalls, so he carefully walked over.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Fei asked strangely, suspecting that this guy was up to some kind of scam again.

"Selling things!" Xi Xiaotian pushed the stall in front of her.

Gu Fei glanced at it. They were all broken, worn-out trinkets. Even without the Appraisal skill, he knew they weren't anything good. High-quality equipment in the game could actually be distinguished with the naked eye, especially weapons. The surface of high-quality weapons mostly had a layer of light surrounding them. Gu Fei's Dark Night Flowing Light Sword, Sword Demon's Frost Memories, and Silver Moon's King's Sword were all like this. Yu Tian Shenming always didn't think his bow was a top-quality item because his bow didn't have such a layer of light.

"We're so familiar, just tell me honestly what you're doing!" Gu Fei squatted down in front of her.

"Really just selling things," Xi Xiaotian said, pulling at the veil covering her face.

"You need to cover your face to sell things?" Gu Fei asked.

"Because I'm low-key!" Xi Xiaotian said.

"Really?" Gu Fei thought there must be a reason, got up and looked around, seeing if there were any fierce pursuers coming, maybe this girl was pulling him in to be her scapegoat again.

But he didn't find anything; the surroundings were peaceful.

Just then, someone rushed to the stall, handed something to Xi Xiaotian, and said, "Sister Xiaotian, see how much this should be worth?"

Xi Xiaotian looked at it: "About 12 gold coins, and it will be very popular if you sell it for 10 gold coins."

"What if you want to deceive noobs?" the person said with a strange smile.

"This thing can't deceive noobs. Noobs will think it's a useless piece of trash," Xi Xiaotian said.

The person left with a sigh.

"A scammer gang?" Gu Fei asked Xi Xiaotian.

Xi Xiaotian rolled her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, another person came over: "I want to see how much this thing is worth."

Xi Xiaotian glanced at it as before and shook her head: "Your level is too high; I can't use my Appraisal skill."

Hearing this, the person was about to hand the thing to Xi Xiaotian, but Gu Fei was quick and rushed up to stop him.

"What are you doing?" The person obviously thought Gu Fei was robbing him and hurriedly stuffed the thing back into his pocket.

"You just give things to people like that? Be careful you don't get it back," Gu Fei said meaningfully.

The person was dumbfounded: "Are you kidding me?" Saying this, he took the thing out again, carefully guarding against Gu Fei while handing the thing to Xi Xiaotian.

Gu Fei's hand also went into his pocket, ready to draw his weapon at any time.

Xi Xiaotian took the thing and looked at it. "20 gold coins is about right," she said casually and handed it back.

"Thank you!" The person took it back and glanced at Gu Fei. "Sick!" This person muttered and walked away.

Gu Fei was naturally very depressed, squatted down next to Xi Xiaotian again: "What? You don't like something worth 20 gold coins?"

"Smart!" Xi Xiaotian said, "It seems you have a talent."

Gu Fei rolled his eyes. Xi Xiaotian's hand had already touched Gu Fei's body.

"What are you doing?" Gu Fei was shocked. Did this scammer want to scam not only money but also sex?

"Your robe is nice!" Xi Xiaotian pinched Gu Fei's robe with two fingers and rubbed it, saying, "The material… no current equipment has this quality. Where did you get it?"

"Is that so? How much do you think it's worth?" Gu Fei said.

"I can't see the attributes." Xi Xiaotian continued to look at it and said, "Take it off and let me see."

When there was no response, her eyes left the robe and looked at Gu Fei's face, which was looking at her with a sneer. Xi Xiaotian suddenly realized and immediately sneered back: "I bet you don't dare."

"Such a simple provocation won't work on me," Gu Fei said.

"I'm not really deceiving you. I've never seen this kind of material for clothes. It must be top-quality. Let me see it," Xi Xiaotian said.

"See what? Once you see it, you won't be able to take your eyes off it," Gu Fei had no trust in Xi Xiaotian at all.

"Never mind if you don't believe me," Xi Xiaotian turned her head away.

"Wait, see how much this thing is worth." Gu Fei pulled out the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword from his pocket. This was intentional. Weapons were always the most valuable of all equipment, and the grade of the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword was even higher than the Moon Night Spirit Robe. It was fun for Gu Fei to let the scammer see it but not be able to get it.

The dark halo of the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword was enough to explain the problem. The eyes of many other players around were now attracted to it. On the trading street, there had never been such a top-quality item. This street, to put it bluntly, was a place for ordinary players to buy and exchange the things they needed. Only RMB warriors, or studio and family groups, had the ability to buy top-quality equipment on the current trading market, and they were basically available but not for sale. If there was really top-quality equipment, they wouldn't have to worry about selling it if they put it on the auction house or exchange; there was no need to bring it to this ordinary trading street.

As soon as Gu Fei's sword came out, many people's eyes lit up. They looked at Gu Fei with different expressions.

However, no one would understand Gu Fei's true intentions. More people thought they had encountered a super newbie who was only seen once in a century, treating top-quality equipment as ordinary goods and wanting to sell it here.

Don't miss the opportunity, as it won't come again. Many people had already abandoned the things they were buying and started moving towards this side.

Several pairs of people who had discovered each other's intentions had already begun to glare at each other.

There were really a lot of people with such thoughts, and the crowd quickly gathered unconsciously, surrounding Xi Xiaotian's stall. Those with rich experience already shouted "Bad!" in their hearts when they saw this situation.

Scamming the top-quality equipment in the hands of a newbie was also a major knowledge. The first thing to do was not to show your eagerness. Newbies were just newcomers who didn't know much about the game, but they weren't idiots. If they didn't act properly, it was easy for them to realize the value of the items in their hands.

At this time, no one had time to start acting, but with everyone rushing up like wolves and tigers. Under the close scrutiny of everyone, no matter who went up and casually talked to the newbie about the transaction of the items in his hands, he would easily realize that the things in his hands were not ordinary.

But it was no use. After all, everyone wanted to get the top-quality item in the newbie's hands. It was obviously impossible to ask others to step aside and let themselves go up and chat casually. At this time, it was necessary to see who was going to be the first to act despite his fears.

Just as this idea came out, several people jumped out of the crowd and rushed towards Gu Fei, and the others were unwilling to be outdone. They scrambled to be first. In a short while, Gu Fei and Xi Xiaotian, who were still squatting in place, felt a dim light in front of them. Turning their heads, they saw that they had been surrounded.

Gu Fei was the number one PK expert in "Parallel World."

Xi Xiaotian was a professional scammer whose hobby was scamming.

Obviously, both of them were the kind of people who were hated to the bone by certain people. At this time, they were surrounded by people. Even though both of them were quick-witted, they didn't see through the minds of so many people at once, and they both felt a thump in their hearts, thinking that they had been found by their enemies.

Gu Fei tightened his grip on the sword, and Xi Xiaotian clenched Gu Fei's robe.

This encirclement was too narrow, and it was not easy to break out. Gu Fei secretly complained. And his magic activation was too slow. Before the Heavenly Fire Wheel came down, he would probably be torn to pieces by so many people. Careless! Gu Fei regretted in his heart. He was so focused on using this top-quality guy to seduce Xi Xiaotian that he didn't notice the surrounding omens.

Act according to the circumstances, if the enemy doesn't move, I don't move. Just as Gu Fei was thinking this, the enemy was already moving.

One person smiled kindly and reached out slightly: "Brother, how much do you want to sell this sword for?"

Gu Fei and Xi Xiaotian were stunned for a moment, then reacted and breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Fei only knew that the other party had no malicious intent, but Xi Xiaotian understood the situation on the civilian trading street. In an instant, she understood what these people were thinking. She knew that the other party had come with a little malice.

"This sword is not for sale!" Gu Fei said with a wry smile.

"Brother, I'll offer a high price," one person said.

"Oh? How much?" Gu Fei asked out of curiosity.

The person pondered slightly, as if he had made up his mind, and gritted his teeth: "I'll offer 20 gold coins."

Gu Fei was stunned. Even if he didn't understand the market and the situation, he always knew that the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword couldn't be worth only 20 gold coins. 20 gold coins might be a huge sum for ordinary players, but it was obviously not the case in the game. The most expensive wine in the tavern cost 20 gold coins for a glass.

Many people around were also looking at this "20 gold coins" with disdain. Just the situation of a group of people surrounding him, the other party could always think that the things in his hands couldn't be just 20 gold coins.

However, everyone found that Gu Fei was stunned there, as if he was hesitating, and their hearts trembled.

Could this be a newbie among newbies who was only seen once in a century? Not only did he know nothing about the game, but his personal attributes were also naturally dumb?

Boiling, the masses were boiling.

"20 gold coins, you're too black, right? Brother, I'll offer 21 gold coins!"

"21 gold coins? Just add one? Stingy, I'll offer 23!"

"25!"

"30!"

"Look at your promising, 50 gold coins!!" someone patted his chest.

50 gold coins was already a huge sum on the civilian trading street. Most players had to flee when they heard this number. However, seeing that the top-quality equipment was in the hands of a naturally dumb newbie, all the players had one thought in their hearts: even if they traded this thing for cash, they wouldn't lose money! They could definitely sell it for a high price if they resold it.

Thinking this way, everyone ignored how many gold coins were in their wallets and just kept shouting prices upward.

50, 55, 60, 80, 100…

In a blink of an eye, the price had reached 500!

The current transaction price of top-quality equipment in Parallel World was over 1,000 gold. If they could really buy it for 500 gold coins, it would be a profitable deal.

However, at this point, the bidders had another thought.

Gu Fei's sword did have a halo, which was indeed a sign of top-quality equipment. However, no one had actually seen the attributes of this sword until now. There were many appraisal experts around, but no one had been able to appraise the attributes of the long sword in Gu Fei's hand.

Would a newbie with natural dumb attributes raise the Appraisal skill to such a high level? Or, would a newbie with natural dumb attributes have a level higher than everyone present? Could he be level 31?

Everyone suddenly felt that this naturally dumb person was probably not that simple. Although he had been wearing a dazed expression of natural dumbness while everyone was bidding.

The bidding suddenly stopped at this time. Everyone stopped talking at the same time. They realized that things were a little different from what they had expected and wanted to see the other party's reaction when the bidding stopped.

"500 gold coins, brother, this price can already be considered the limit. I don't think anyone is willing to offer more, right?" one person said, looking around and winking.

Everyone knew what he meant and cooperated by not speaking, expecting Gu Fei's response.

Before Gu Fei could speak, Xi Xiaotian winked.

"You see, there are actually a lot of scammers in this world," Xi Xiaotian said.
