Chapter 74 Exactly How

Just as Mang Mang of the Vast Expanse had said, Yun Zhongmu and his group were true to their word. As Gu Fei and his party walked through the streets, under the watchful eyes of Moon Night City, no one came to cause them trouble.

Some of the guys looked familiar, seeming to be the very ones who had been chasing them all night. Now, less than five meters apart, Sakura Tsukuyo and the others were still cautiously on guard, but those guys just smiled with an indifferent ease.

"Logging off? Together!" someone even greeted them.

"Damn it, these bastards," Sakura Tsukuyo and the others didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They were exhausted from running all day and night, but chasing them couldn't have been easy for the others either. Of course, they had the advantage of numbers and could take turns, but Sakura Tsukuyo had indeed seen some faces constantly trailing behind them. They were truly persistent.

Sakura Tsukuyo and his group had sacrificed 22 people, but the players killed by the Ten Guild Alliance were actually even more. Most of them had accidentally stepped into traps, and then, seeing that they had plenty of time, Sakura Tsukuyo had directed everyone to unleash a barrage of fire, taking quite a few players down a level.

"Log off, log off, let's get some rest," Sakura Tsukuyo and his group prepared to head to the resurrection point.

"What about the mission tonight?" Gu Fei asked, surprised. According to the schedule, the main force should be setting off for the next main city in an hour. If Sakura Tsukuyo and the others logged off now, wouldn't that mean abandoning the mission?

"Didn't Drunken Bro hear what your guild leader said? They're not leaving Moon Night City today. It seems like their mission has some content that needs to be completed here," Sakura Tsukuyo said.

"Really? What content?" Gu Fei asked.

"I don't know. I've been fleeing all day. How would I have time to attend their meetings!" Sakura Tsukuyo said.

"Oh, oh, then go ahead!" Gu Fei waved at them. He had only just logged on, so there was no way he would log off now.

And so, this group of guys went off, chatting and laughing. Gu Fei had seen plenty of players with bitter and resentful expressions after being PKed, but he never expected these wretched fellows to be so open-minded. Human nature was truly too complex! Gu Fei couldn't help but sigh once again.

With that matter settled, Gu Fei was about to seize the time and go do the bounty mission when a message rang. He opened it to see it was Jian Gui: "Yun Zhongmu is hosting, and he specifically mentioned you. Come over?"

They really move fast! Gu Fei marveled. He had just shown his skills and saved people, and Yun Zhongmu probably immediately inquired about him from Jian Gui and the others. They had added each other as friends the last time they fought side by side. Learning that Jian Gui and the others were in Moon Night City again, Yun Zhongmu, the true local of Moon Night City, immediately expressed his desire to fulfill his duties as host.

Jian Gui and Zhan Wushang had a good impression of Yun Zhongmu and his group, so they probably wouldn't refuse. Yu Tian Shenming and You Ge were ambiguous, but being treated was a chance to take advantage, so they probably wouldn't miss it. As for Han Family's Young Master, perhaps he and Yun Zhongmu didn't see eye to eye, so he would go even more. He would probably drink heavily and drink himself to death, using that to attack Yun Zhongmu's wallet.

Gu Fei didn't want to join in the fun, but then he thought about how Yun Zhongmu and his group had given him face today and let Mang Mang of the Vast Expanse and Sakura Tsukuyo go. What about tomorrow? If they really showed no mercy, those guys would probably have to flee for their lives in Moon Night City. The current Ten Guild Alliance was much stronger than when they were chasing Qian Chen.

He should still go over and find out what Yun Zhongmu and his group were planning! Thinking this, Gu Fei asked for the location and headed toward the mentioned tavern.

Moon Night City didn't have a player-run Little Thunder Tavern like Cloud Piercer City. Yun Zhongmu ultimately chose the largest one in the city center. A local was a local. As soon as he entered the tavern, he drove the other small-time players out. The system boss just did business according to the rules, so of course he wouldn't care about such things. Thus, he wholeheartedly served the people who remained in the tavern.

When Gu Fei arrived at the tavern, it was full of people from the Ten Guild Alliance. He even saw the leading little brother who had directly spoken to him earlier at one of the tables, and there seemed to be a few who had died by his sword. As expected, all of the Young Master Elite Group were there, sitting around a large table made up of several small tables in the center. Of course, Yun Zhongmu was at the table. Besides him, Gu Fei didn't recognize anyone else, but they were probably all leaders of the Ten Guild Alliance. The Ten Great Guilds should have at least ten guild leaders, right?

After Gu Fei entered, the tavern gradually quieted down. Jian Gui and the others waved to Gu Fei, and Yun Zhongmu immediately turned around, instantly displaying the agile figure of a master thief. With a few quick moves, he had already flashed in front of Gu Fei, shaking his hand and patting his shoulder, doing everything he could to show his goodwill: "Brother, you've finally come. Quick, quick, come inside."

Gu Fei followed him to the combined table, sat down, and tore off the mask from his face.

Yun Zhongmu personally poured wine, handing the cup to Gu Fei. Gu Fei took it and thanked him.

The wine was the best wine. Gu Fei paid special attention to the other tables and found that everyone's wine was the same, without making their table more noble. As expected, Han Family's Young Master didn't miss this opportunity and drank quickly. But Yun Zhongmu didn't mind at all. He just noticed that this guy loved to drink, so he called for several more bottles and placed them in front of him.

In addition, Gu Fei saw You Ge staring at Han Family's Young Master drinking and counting on his fingers, and he secretly smiled. This guy was probably boredly counting how much money Han Family's Young Master had drunk.

Frankly speaking, everyone at this table wasn't very familiar with each other. Only Jian Gui had fought alongside them. After Gu Fei sat down, Yun Zhongmu and the others expressed their admiration for Gu Fei, such as "really fierce, really awesome" and the like.

Gu Fei naturally responded politely, saying some polite words like "not at all," "thank you," and so on.

Yun Zhongmu and his group were bold and unrestrained when fighting, but talking to strangers didn't seem to be their forte. They were compatible with each other, speaking simply and directly. Two out of three sentences were "your old man," and then another "f*** your old man," and they immediately felt that the other person had a lot in common with them.

When these guys were together, even though they were ten guild leaders with ten mouths, their way of speaking was all the same style and tone. If you closed your eyes, you really couldn't tell who was who.

This kind of unrestrained and vulgar style was obviously not suitable for communicating with newly acquainted strangers. But when they removed "your old man," these guys immediately seemed like they didn't know how to speak. After the polite greetings, the table immediately fell silent, and the atmosphere was awkward.

This situation lasted for about several minutes. Yun Zhongmu suddenly picked up his wine glass and stood up.

"As expected of Old Yun!!" The other nine guild leaders were excited, all looking at him.

"Haha, let's all have a drink together!" Yun Zhongmu said.

"F***, your old man, Old Yun, you're a waste!!" Everyone didn't expect Yun Zhongmu to stand up and just say nonsense, so they all scorned him.

Yun Zhongmu also felt a little embarrassed, swallowing a glass of wine, racking his brains, but still couldn't think of anything to say. Back then, when dealing with Jian Gui, Jian Gui was an old online game player, and he and Yun Zhongmu were in the same profession. Everyone reminisced about the past and discussed the current thief profession, so it was easy to find common topics. Now, facing Gu Fei, Yun Zhongmu really didn't know what to say. After a long while, he squeezed out a sentence: "Brother Thousand Miles, what games have you played before?"

"Oh, I haven't played any," Gu Fei replied. If it were Silver Moon sitting here, he would definitely immediately say: "This is your first time playing a game and you're already so fierce? A genius!!" And then a bunch of dizzying flattery would come. But these guys immediately felt that Gu Fei actually didn't have a past, which was very different from them, and the two sides were very far, very far apart.

Thus, everyone was holding their own wine glasses and entertaining themselves. Yun Zhongmu felt very ashamed of hosting this feast. He secretly regretted not calling the competent people in the guild to liven up the atmosphere! Thinking of this, Yun Zhongmu became angry again. He slammed the table and said, "Pig Immortal, your old man, aren't you usually very talkative? Why don't you have anything to say today?"

Pig Immortal shrank his head, glanced at Gu Fei, and finally spat out a sentence: "You seem to have killed me?"

Yun Zhongmu fainted. He told this kid to speak, but he actually said something so disharmonious. He really wanted to drag this guy out and execute him himself.

Unexpectedly, Gu Fei nodded and said, "It seems so. Were you with Bu Xiao that time? Speaking of which, I haven't seen Bu Xiao for a long time." As Gu Fei spoke, he looked at the few guys around him. As a result, several people quietly and neatly picked up their wine glasses and drank, looking like they were enjoying the show.

Yun Zhongmu said a little awkwardly, "Oh, he's not here..." Bu Xiao was online, but Yun Zhongmu didn't call him, and even if he did, Bu Xiao wouldn't be willing to come.

Bu Xiao had lost 10 levels in his struggle with Gu Fei and the others, but that low-level experience, when converted, was similar to the loss of dropping from 40 to 39 today, so it wasn't that much in comparison.

Even so, the adverse effects caused by this incident were very great. To this day, Bu Xiao still squirms like a fireball when asked his name in the game. In the minds of countless players who know about the incident, Bu Xiao already has the attributes of a grandson. No matter how great you become in the future, in front of Thousand Miles Drunk, you will always be a grandson.

Bu Xiao's hatred for Gu Fei was no longer something that could be easily resolved. It was an eternal psychological trauma that hurt whenever he thought of it. Yun Zhongmu, as Bu Xiao's friend, not only didn't try to avenge him, but was now sitting at the same table drinking with Gu Fei. This was the reason he felt embarrassed.

This was also out of helplessness. From a personal point of view, Yun Zhongmu wanted to help Bu Xiao kill Gu Fei. It was just a pity that Bu Xiao was indeed not very upright. Of the ten guild leaders at the table, eight disliked him. The only one, Pig Immortal, was an idiot who didn't care about anything. Didn't you see him starting a topic with Gu Fei with "You killed me"?

Even Yun Zhongmu himself sometimes wondered how he and Bu Xiao had become brothers. Obviously, in that non-simulated era, people's impressions of each other in online games were very vague, and most of them were supplemented by their own YY (delusions). But in this simulated era where people can communicate face-to-face, it is not so easy to hide one's true colors.

The idea of definitely avenging Bu Xiao had been constantly wavering in Yun Zhongmu's heart ever since he and Bu Xiao finally met face-to-face in Moon Night City.
