Chapter 1 An Organized Group

Gu Fei headed straight for Xiao Lei Tavern after leaving Trade Street.

This kind of emergency gathering best reflected everyone’s speed. When Gu Fei arrived at the tavern, Han Jia Gongzi and Yu Tian Shen Ming had already arrived. One of them was already drinking here, and the other was writing a mage's manual in another tavern not far away.

So, after waiting a short while, You Ge arrived, and then after waiting for a long time, Zhan Wu Shang lumbered in.

"Why hasn't Jian Gui arrived yet?" Han Jia Gongzi frowned as he checked the time.

"Oh… I told him not to leave the resurrection point," Gu Fei said.

"What?" Everyone looked at Gu Fei.

"This is an organized group," Gu Fei said. "They specifically target those with top-tier equipment, and then they look for opportunities to kill them, until the equipment drops. Jian Gui must have been targeted by them."

You Ge was stunned. After a long pause, he said dejectedly, "Qian Li, don't do this. You're stealing my job. If you say the intelligence, what value do I have in this group?"

Gu Fei quickly yielded, "You say it, you say it."

You Ge nodded, cleared his throat, and looked around at everyone, saying, "The basic situation is as Qian Li said. Let’s see if anyone has anything to add."

Everyone rolled their eyes. You Ge was also embarrassed, "If this group’s situation were so easy to find out, they would have been hunted down long ago. They have succeeded many times already."

"The guys who were killed don’t know their identities either?"

You Ge nodded, "Their ambushes are mainly carried out by mages, archers, and thieves, and the victims don’t even have time to find them before they are killed."

Everyone fell into thought. Han Jia Gongzi said to Gu Fei, "So you suspect that they already have people stationed outside the resurrection point, who will continue to ambush Jian Gui?"

"Of course," Gu Fei said confidently.

Han Jia Gongzi patted him, "Thieves will lurk, thank you!"

Gu Fei was so ashamed that he wanted to disappear.

Han Jia Gongzi sent another message to Jian Gui, and after waiting a while, Jian Gui appeared.

"My condolences! My condolences!" Everyone expressed their sympathy first.

Jian Gui didn't seem too grief-stricken, "I only lost one level, it’s not a big deal."

Everyone didn't say anything. In fact, Jian Gui's death was more than just losing one level. He was almost level 31, and this death, theoretically, was only one level, but in terms of experience, it could be said that he lost two levels.

"It's good that Frost Memories didn't drop," Gu Fei comforted him.

"It dropped…" Jian Gui said quietly.

Everyone was shocked. The equipment drop rate in Parallel World wasn't that high. To have his most top-tier weapon drop in one go, Jian Gui could be said to be extremely unlucky.

"That's not good, they will send Frost Memories to other main cities, and then it will never be found again!" Gu Fei stood up and said.

"How do you know?" The others were stunned.

"There's no time to explain, quickly go to the mailbox to intercept them!" Gu Fei said.

"They killed me for Frost Memories?" Jian Gui still hadn't figured out the reason for his death.

"There is indeed such a group of people now, specifically targeting players with top-tier equipment, and then…" You Ge said.

"Scum!" Jian Gui gritted his teeth. Being killed didn't cause Jian Gui excessive anger, and he could even restrain himself from losing his top-tier equipment. But after learning the reason for being killed, Jian Gui was truly angered.

"Don't talk anymore, let's go!" Gu Fei urged everyone. Jian Gui died and returned from the training area, which was just a blink of an eye away. But it had taken a lot of time for the few of them to gather at Xiao Lei Tavern. If the other party then took Frost Memories back to mail out, they probably had already arrived. It was uncertain whether they could catch up, and they really couldn't delay any longer.

"Coming back from Jian Gui's training area, the closest is the East Gate. But in order to avoid retaliation from the victims, they are likely to take another gate, but we don't have enough manpower, and if we split up into four gates, we might not be a match for them. Now we can only gamble. You Ge, Yu Tian, Wu Shang, you go to the East Gate! Jian Gui, Qian Li and I will go to the South Gate. We'll talk about the rest in the guild channel," Han Jia Gongzi stood up and arranged.

"Wait, I think Qian Li alone is enough…" Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

Everyone was stunned. After thinking about it, they also felt it was true. Han Jia Gongzi nodded, "Qian Li, then you go to the North Gate."

"Are you and Jian Gui two okay?" You Ge was worried. Han Jia Gongzi didn't have much combat power as a priest, and Jian Gui was indeed fierce, but the problem was that he had just lost a level, and more importantly, Frost Memories had also dropped, and his strength had decreased significantly.

Han Jia Gongzi didn't care, "The three of you are the most worrying. Can you do it without a priest?"

"Damn! Worry about yourself! If Jian Gui can't get back Frost Memories, it will definitely be his fault!" Yu Tian Shen Ming was dissatisfied.

Jian Gui smiled, "Okay."

"Let's go!" The three groups left Xiao Lei Tavern and went their separate ways.

At this time, the difference in everyone's speed was once again revealed. In the three-man group, Yu Tian Shen Ming quickly ran a long way ahead, while You Ge and Zhan Wu Shang were one in front and one behind, lagging behind quite a bit.

As for Jian Gui and Han Jia Gongzi, Han Jia Gongzi was also slowly falling behind.

However, the South Gate and the East Gate were the two gates relatively close to Xiao Lei Bar, and the distance wouldn't be too far when they arrived at the city gate. At this time, time was tight, and they really couldn't worry about too detailed arrangements.

These online game experts had already pioneered the hard skill of chatting while on the road in Parallel World, and were currently communicating in the guild channel.

"Actually, it may not be the group that dropped the equipment, it may also be someone seeking revenge. Not to mention the old grudges in previous games, just say that in Parallel World, the time when Sha Bu Xiao was killed, Jian Gui, your identity was the most exposed! Frost Memories is too eye-catching," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"I know," Jian Gui said.

"And this time when you went to Moon Night City, you were also in the forefront commanding, right? The people from Qian Chen probably also met you?" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"The people from Qian Chen shouldn't be retaliating so quickly, they are still very busy over there," You Ge interjected.

"I know, I'm just saying," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"What are those people like? Jian Gui, you haven't said yet," You Ge said.

"The professions that appeared during their attack were mage, thief, and archer. I was instantly killed, and didn't have time to see people clearly, but the Appraisal Technique I released instantly before I died should have been released on the thief who ambushed me. He wears a Gale Cloak, which adds 12 agility and 5% attack speed; Shadow Boots, which add 14% movement; a Windproof Hat, a Double Ring Belt; a Wolf Ring that adds 4 agility and strength, a Candle Emblem that adds 2% health, a Force Ring that adds 2 strength, and a Swift Necklace that adds 2 agility. The weapon is a Double-Edged Fang, which has a lacerating effect," Jian Gui reported in one breath.

In Parallel World, as long as the names of the equipment are the same, then the basic attack and defense attributes will be completely consistent, and the differences are all in the additional attributes. Identifying the target through equipment, additional attributes are also the main basis.

After listening to Jian Gui's report, Han Jia Gongzi summarized, "Pay attention to teams with mage, thief, and archer profession combinations, pay attention to thieves with the above equipment!"

Everyone responded, but Gu Fei stopped at this time, and said blankly, "I don't know the Appraisal Technique, what should I do!"

Time was tight, and everyone had overlooked this issue. Gu Fei was alone, his strength was no problem, but because he didn't know the Appraisal Technique, he couldn't identify the opponent.

To take on this task, it was not enough to just know the Appraisal Technique, the level of the Appraisal Technique had to be high. In the game, using the Appraisal Technique to appraise players was a very annoying thing. First of all, the player's level must not be lower than the opponent's, and then there was a competition of Appraisal Techniques between the two sides. There was no 100% success or 100% failure in this, and it was a matter of probability like hit rate. Moreover, it was not that a successful appraisal would immediately see the other party's whole body. With nine sets of equipment, sometimes only four or five pieces were seen, and the other situations still had question marks.

But no matter what, Gu Fei, a person who didn't even know the Appraisal Technique, had come for nothing.

Among the elite group, You Ge's Appraisal Technique level was the highest, followed by Jian Gui. Han Jia Gongzi and the other three had symbolically practiced because they believed that a master shouldn't have such a prominent weakness.

But right now, whether it was possible to rush over to help Gu Fei was not certain, and Jian Gui and Han Jia Gongzi definitely couldn't lose any more people, and Yu Tian Shen Ming and the other three were also very uncertain, after all, they didn't have a priest to heal them, and it was already quite difficult to fight against this kind of professional gang.

"Don't worry about him, Qian Li can just pick up a beauty on the roadside to help with the appraisal," Yu Tian Shen Ming kicked him when he was down.

Everyone took this as a joke and continued to worry, but Gu Fei was reminded by this and immediately replied, "Okay, I'll find someone to help."

Everyone was horrified, could he really hook up a girl on the street to be an assistant?

Of course, Gu Fei didn't intend to do that. It was just that Yu Tian Shen Ming mentioned a girl and reminded Gu Fei that he didn't need anyone to help him fight, just to use the Appraisal Technique. Among the girls from Rebirth Purple Crystal, there might be someone who could be competent.

Then he opened the guild channel. Immediately, the text flew upwards in rows. Girls were creatures who loved to chat and gossip, and they were more diligent in chatting about gossip in the guild channel every day than leveling up. Gu Fei hadn't touched this guild channel before, and now he knew how powerful the women were. The news flashed by and Gu Fei was almost at the North Gate. This was only the information that Gu Fei had accumulated after logging in today. If it was all of it… Gu Fei felt a chill.

Not knowing what to say at the beginning, Gu Fei thought for a moment and asked, "Is anyone there!"

"Damn, you idiot, can't you see so many sisters, and you still ask if anyone is there!" Someone shouted. Gu Fei took a look, Lie Lie.

"Is there anyone with a high level of Appraisal Technique who can help…" Gu Fei said.

The women didn't say how high their Appraisal Technique level was, but they all asked what was going on. This was the spirit of gossip!

"It's urgent! I'll talk about it later!" Gu Fei said.

"My Appraisal Technique is level 8," a girl said weakly.

Gu Fei didn't know what level 8 meant, he just scanned the girl's name: Bing Liu Li.

"North City Gate, can you get here quickly?" Gu Fei asked.

"Oh, it's very close, I can get there right away," Bing Liu Li replied.

Gu Fei added her as a friend, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome," Bing Liu Li replied.
