Hu Die Lan
Chapter 292 Gu Paopao
The elite team from Young Master's camp was heading in their direction, while the ladies of Rebirth Purple Crystal also noticed Fine Waist Dance was gone and, upon suddenly hearing her scream, rushed over to investigate.
The two groups took different paths, emerging from both ends simultaneously, only to witness two figures, one black and one red, dashing right under their noses...
The crowd was huge, unimaginably so. Gu Fei was beginning to think he might have overestimated himself. After the official launch, the number of players in the main cities had surged, and in Yueye City, with its particular atmosphere, the number of players flaunting PK values was unknown. Everyone wanted to wash theirs clean, and seeing Gu Fei's 14 PK points topping the charts, the bolder ones came to claim him.
Not only that, but Fine Waist Dance, with her unrestrained spirit, had been killing people here and there, and before long, her PK value had also accumulated to double digits, making her the number two wanted person in Yueye City, attracting quite a bit of business as well.
To make matters worse, their location was near the dungeon, and the dungeon and the wanted missions distribution center belonged to the same system, so they were never too far apart. Those players who accepted the missions were pleasantly surprised to find that the coordinates were just a short detour away. One could imagine the immense pressure Gu Fei and Fine Waist Dance were facing.
Fine Waist Dance had used up her mana experimenting with Stealth earlier, and hadn't fully replenished it with fruit before engaging in combat again. Gu Fei was even more pitiful, having no opportunity to eat fruit after exhausting his mana.
And in their current situation, Gu Fei was facing even more severe circumstances than Fine Waist Dance.
His PK value was slightly higher than Fine Waist Dance's, attracting even more players to him; Fine Waist Dance's equipment was more formidable than Gu Fei's, making her extremely powerful even without mana or skills, while Gu Fei, though an anomaly among mages, still possessed the fundamental characteristics of a mage: without mana, a mage's damage was trash.
If the number of opponents was limited, Gu Fei could rely on his skills, and Fine Waist Dance could rely on her equipment to barely cope. But at this moment, Yueye City's wanted mission distribution center was like a troop-building base, and Gu Fei and Fine Waist Dance's location was a gathering point. The players emerging from there were rushing straight towards them, almost forming a continuous line.
"Hey!" Even Fine Waist Dance, this fearless woman, felt fear in her heart, and while fighting, she said to Gu Fei, "This isn't working, there are too many."
Gu Fei nodded solemnly. It was indeed exhilarating to have so many people looking for a fight, but Gu Fei didn't want to die after having his fun. Fighting was also a competitive sport, and the greatest appeal of competition lay in victory and defeat. Gu Fei enjoyed PK, but he needed to win against his opponents to feel satisfied. Saying he enjoyed the process meant enjoying the process of moving towards victory, and he didn't know anyone who would enjoy the process of losing.
Both of them judged that there was absolutely no chance of winning in the current situation. After exchanging glances again, they suddenly turned and ran. Just then, the elite team from Young Master's camp and the ladies of Rebirth Purple Crystal arrived, witnessing the sorry sight of the two being chased and fleeing in disarray.
The relentless players of Yueye City formed a line and pursued them fiercely.
Fine Waist Dance's speed was naturally unquestionable; even without Sprint, no one could catch up to her. As for Gu Fei, although he had allocated all his points to agility and wielded the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword, the Bandit Ring, and Eddie's Emblem, adding some extra agility, and his shoes were also formidable, Yueye City was not lacking in talented individuals. Rogues with Sprint, archers with a slight emphasis on agility, as long as their equipment wasn't too bad, reaching Gu Fei's speed wasn't difficult. What was even more deadly was that those archers were firing Tracking Arrows. Fine Waist Dance, relying on her good equipment and high defense, ignored them directly, while Gu Fei had to turn around and deal with them, greatly hindering his speed. The pursuers were getting closer and closer.
Alas! This was truly playing with fire and getting burned! Gu Fei reflected on himself. Overly underestimating the power of the masses had led him to his current predicament. This time, he was truly about to be submerged in the ocean of people's war.
Fortunately, Fine Waist Dance was loyal enough not to abandon him. She ran and looked back, finding that Gu Fei was getting farther and farther away from her and closer and closer to the pursuers behind her. She stomped her feet in anger: "Why are you so slow!" After shouting, she immediately turned back and floated to Gu Fei's side.
"What are you doing back here? Go on your way," Gu Fei said.
"You're too stupid." Fine Waist Dance grabbed Gu Fei, and with her other hand, she had already pulled out a scroll from her pocket. She flung it into the wind, and the scroll turned into white light, landing at their feet. A teleportation array instantly formed, and with a flash of white light, the two disappeared instantly.
"Running so slowly, you made me waste another teleportation scroll! This is my last one!!!" After the teleportation, Fine Waist Dance released Gu Fei and immediately pointed at his nose, scolding him.
"Where did you get this thing?" Gu Fei asked.
"It was a reward from a previous mission. You can't even buy it with money now!" Fine Waist Dance said.
"There will be more in the future," Gu Fei consoled her, then immediately changed the subject: "Where is this? Did we randomly teleport to some unfamiliar main city?" Gu Fei said as he checked the coordinates.
"You wish. Teleportation scrolls also have a maximum radius, so it's impossible to teleport out of a main city's range. This should still be in the vicinity of Yueye City," Fine Waist Dance said.
"But why is this teleportation so unkind? Couldn't it have just placed us on the ground?" Gu Fei looked around.
"That's why it's called random teleportation!" Fine Waist Dance said unhappily.
The two were now in a forest, and, in a very inhumane manner, they were hanging in a tree. Gu Fei's Dark Night Spirit Robe was caught on a branch, and he was swinging back and forth, as if he would fall at any moment. Fine Waist Dance was hanging opposite him, her figure stable, but it was clear that the branch hooking her was slowly bending downwards. This was a more dangerous sign than Gu Fei's situation. Gu Fei couldn't help but close his eyes: "Fine!"
"What?"
"You might fall down soon!"
"Ah..." Fine Waist Dance exclaimed, looked down, and saw that it was eight meters from the ground. Falling would definitely be uncomfortable. She immediately and subconsciously reached out to Gu Fei, not knowing whether she wanted to seek help or drag someone down with her.
"Don't move!" Gu Fei only had time to shout this. The branch hooking Fine Waist Dance didn't break, but it "swooshed" out from under her cloak. Fine Waist Dance ultimately lost her grip, and she fell screaming...
The fall was messy, but it couldn't be said that there was any major problem. Fine Waist Dance grunted a few times and got up from the ground, looking up to see Gu Fei still swaying on the branch.
"Come down, I'll catch you." Fine Waist Dance spread her arms.
"Isn't that unnecessary!" Gu Fei didn't believe Fine Waist Dance could catch him. If it were Rains of June, that would be more like it.
"Are you going to hang there for the rest of your life," Fine Waist Dance cursed.
Gu Fei didn't argue, but very, very slowly, he reached into his pocket and carefully took out a banana.
"Damn, at a time like this, you still remember to eat!" Fine Waist Dance was very angry.
"I need mana," Gu Fei said. "You should replenish yours too!" After speaking, he very slowly brought the banana to his mouth, tore off the peel with his teeth, and stuffed it in.
After a moment, some mana returned, and Gu Fei immediately straightened his body, flying down from the tree with a whoosh. After a Momentary Displacement incantation in mid-air, he landed steadily. Then, he immediately took out another fruit and began to eat, replenishing his mana to the fullest.
"This place isn't far from Yueye City. If those people are still chasing us, they'll probably arrive soon," Fine Waist Dance, who had already studied the coordinates, said.
"Even if the previous people don't come, new guys will always come looking for us. What's your PK value now?" Gu Fei asked.
"23, what about you?"
"I'm at 24." Gu Fei's killing power had been greatly reduced because he didn't have mana, and he had almost been surpassed by Fine Waist Dance.
"We have to wash away the PK values, otherwise we can't stay in Yueye City," Gu Fei finally realized that doing this project in Yueye City wasn't suitable.
"Then we have to go to the wanted mission distribution center..." Fine Waist Dance said.
"It's a bit dangerous..." Gu Fei said.
"Is there any other way?" Fine Waist Dance asked.
"Return to Yunduan City..." Gu Fei had experience. Back then, he had a large PK value and had escaped the pursuit by switching main cities.
"I'm not afraid of going to the wanted mission distribution center. I can Stealth, but what about you?" Fine Waist Dance said.
"Well, let's ask about the situation over there first!" Gu Fei said, opening the mercenary channel. The guys in there were already shouting, asking Gu Fei what the situation was.
"Used a random teleportation to fly far away, now PK value is 24, have to wash it away, what's the situation at the wanted mission distribution center?" Gu Fei said.
"Still as lively as ever," several people replied.
"A bit troublesome!" Gu Fei said.
"Well, why don't we find Yun Zhongmu and the others? If he comes forward and has the Ten Guild Alliance protect you, no one should dare to cause trouble," Brother Yu suggested.
"No need," Young Master Han said coldly, "Give me a high point, and I'll guide you safely to the wanted mission distribution center. Then you rush into the house and accept a mission, not difficult, right?"
"This is a large map!" Brother Yu was surprised. Of course, they understood what Young Master Han wanted to do, but the problem was that this wasn't a map in a confrontation, where the coordinates were only in the hundreds. On the large map, the coordinate data was terrifyingly large.
"What's the matter, it's still the same. As long as you know the coordinates of some locations in the city in advance, you can see them all," Young Master Han said nonchalantly.
"There's a simpler way!" Brother Yu said.
"Anyway, I'm very bored now," Young Master Han said.
"Thousand Miles, what do you decide to do?" Brother Yu finally asked. This matter obviously had to be decided by Gu Fei.
"Let's go find a high point!" Gu Fei replied.
