Chapter 160 Belt

"So, if we had stopped that pigeon, would Across the World's next task have been smooth sailing?" Brother You asked.

"Of course not. The difference is just between an unprepared opponent and a prepared one. Obviously, the latter is more difficult!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

Everyone nodded in agreement. The discussion about this issue ended there. After all, the task belonged to Across the World. As a group of unscrupulous mercenaries, no one cared about the difficulties Across the World would encounter next.

"What do we do now? Take Adrian's body to the werewolves?" Gu Fei looked down. Adrian, lying on the ground, looked like he was asleep, not like a dead man.

"Probably not. We just need to find the werewolves and tell them. They have a system background, so they're practically omniscient. But the problem is, we can't go now," Han Jia Gongzi said. "We're not on the task right now, and we've dismissed the werewolves. If the Across the World guys come tomorrow to continue, they'll get a freebie. Without proof, will they believe we solved it?"

"Then let's talk about it tomorrow!" Gu Fei said.

"Yeah, hurry up and log off!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

So Gu Fei greeted Yue Liu's Rain again, telling her that Adrian was gone and she could dig without worry. Yue Liu's Rain cheerfully resumed work, and Gu Fei returned to Moonlit Night City and logged off.

Four hours later, the players from Across the World, including Daoying Nianhua, were released from their sentence. Naturally, the first thing they did was check on the progress of the task. After learning that Gongzi's Elite Team had intervened after all, Daoying Nianhua immediately contacted Han Jia Gongzi.

"Well, Qianli Zui did it himself. He logged off shortly after, so I don't know the details. Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"What about the note?" Daoying Nianhua pressed.

"Do you want it now?"

"Of course."

Han Jia Gongzi didn't tell him that the problem had been solved. Daoying Nianhua wouldn't give up so easily. He still wanted to solve the problem himself. His approach was completely consistent with the elite team's: first believe that Adrian was the mastermind, then find evidence to expose him.

After retrieving the note, Daoying Nianhua immediately contacted Adrian again, repeatedly questioning, repeatedly searching, repeatedly monitoring, but the result was still nothing. Daoying Nianhua used every method he could think of, but Adrian's reaction to the matter was one of bewilderment.

This time, it was genuine bewilderment, because this Adrian was already the third Adrian spawned by the system. The Adrian who had coerced the werewolves to oppose Across the World was, in fact, no longer alive. This Adrian, if following the past pattern, might play the role of an antagonist in some future task, but at this moment, he had nothing to do with Across the World's escort mission. Of course, he would be confused when they discussed the task with him.

Unfortunately, Daoying Nianhua didn't know this. He spent the whole night toiling away, and by the time dawn broke, Daoying Nianhua was exhausted, but Adrian was still spirited and bewildered in front of him. Daoying Nianhua had to admit defeat.

Perhaps, as he had thought before, Qianli Zui had taken over the task, so only he could complete it. Daoying Nianhua thought so. Of course, he didn't know that his fruitless efforts all night were because he was arguing with a task that had already been completed.

Thus, all hope rested on Gu Fei, which was exactly what Han Jia Gongzi wanted. The next thing was very simple. Han Jia Gongzi didn't even need to actively negotiate with them. As long as they saw the problem solved, they would naturally offer the due reward. After all, Wushi's Sword and others were still sensible.

The next day, the seven hundred-odd players of Across the World waited anxiously for a whole day, finally welcoming Grandpa Gu Fei's online appearance near 7 p.m.

Without unnecessary nonsense, Gu Fei took the lead. He found the werewolves before the main force set off. As expected, when Gu Fei told them that he had solved the Adrian problem, the werewolves immediately believed him. They packed up their things and happily prepared to return to their village. Gu Fei was still eagerly waiting for some kind of reward, but Wei He, the tall werewolf, didn't even bother to change back into human form. He patted Gu Fei's shoulder with his claws and howled twice. Unfortunately, Gu Fei didn't understand the werewolf language, so the guy transformed back into human form and solemnly howled at Gu Fei again: "We will always remember your kindness."

"Take care!" Gu Fei waved goodbye to the werewolves.

"Please, you must accept this." Wei He began to rummage in his pockets. Even Gu Fei, who wasn't very enthusiastic about game equipment, couldn't help but light up. He had the example of the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword! Even if he didn't value equipment, he had to admit that he was so popular in the game because of the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword.

Werewolf products must be top quality.

Gu Fei muttered to himself. The werewolf Wei He had already handed over the item.

It was a belt, or more precisely, a very lewd belt. The buckle was in the shape of a wolf's head, with a fierce glint in its eyes, but the key was that the wolf's half-open mouth seemed to be deliberately made to drool. The wolf's ferocious image was completely ruined by this drool. After looking at the sharp eyes again, they also felt a bit off. A word popped into Gu Fei's mind for no reason: pervert...

"Is this belt supposed to be funny?" Gu Fei muttered as he took it.

Mark of the Wolf.

In addition to the defense and increased pocket capacity that ordinary belts have, this Mark of the Wolf naturally has special attributes.

Werewolf's Self-Healing: Possesses the formidable vitality of a werewolf, restoring 1% of maximum health per second.

Gu Fei was speechless. It was related to health again, but what he urgently needed was mana.

Although Gu Fei didn't like it, this equipment was another genuine top-quality item. The purple font was enough to illustrate the problem. And the Werewolf's Self-Healing, when compared to the Knight's Blessing of Life, would reveal its value.

The Knight's Blessing of Life, similarly, allows the player's health to regenerate after being applied, but the time interval is every 5 seconds. The health restored is also a fixed value, not a percentage.

Equipment that increases health and mana limits is commonly seen on the market, but items with self-healing functions are rare. Parallel World still has no self-replenishing medicines for use in battle, so one can imagine how precious such equipment is. This belt, if it fell into the hands of a heavy-armored warrior, would be enough to make them excited for three days and three nights. But now, in Gu Fei's hands, he simply lowered his head, looked at the plain leather belt he was currently wearing, and hesitated whether to switch to the new one.

Even the ordinary attributes were much better than his leather belt. But the problem was, the style was really... Gu Fei turned it over and looked at the wolf's head buckle again.

Lewd! Extremely lewd.

It must not be exposed... Gu Fei thought, and fastened the Mark of the Wolf inside his clothes.

This didn't affect the performance of the equipment's attributes, but... a mage's robe needs a belt to show off its beauty. Now that the belt was fastened inside, the robe hung straight down, making him look like a soda can, something Gu Fei was currently unaware of. After saying goodbye to the werewolves, he stood by the side of the road like a soda can, waiting for the main force from Cloudend City to arrive.

He had already sent a message to them, informing them that the crisis had been completely resolved.

Before long, the main force arrived, led by Wushi's Sword, Daoying Nianhua, and Fengxing. Although unwilling, they still expressed their gratitude to Gu Fei for solving the problem. Afterward, the three carefully considered the mystery of Gu Fei's attire before continuing to lead the team forward.

Mercenary groups are generally at the rear of the team, and Gongzi's Elite Team even more often takes the last place. For a time, Gu Fei received the attention of everyone. In the general perception of players, a mage dressed like that could only be described in four words: slovenly dressed.

This situation continued until Sakura Tsukuyo's "Great Hunt" mercenary group arrived. Familiar with Gu Fei, they couldn't help but be surprised by his attire. Finally, Fireball came over and whispered to Gu Fei, "Brother Zui, remember to fasten your pants after you're done!"

"What are you talking about?" Gu Fei was puzzled.

Fireball's gaze was even more lewd than the werewolf buckle: "Hehe, wild battles, no wonder it's Brother Zui... Did you lose your belt after you were done? I have another one here, you can use it for now!"

"What are you saying!" Gu Fei knocked Fireball on the head, finally understanding what the guy was thinking. "I'm wearing a belt, it's inside!" Gu Fei lifted the hem of his mage's robe to show Fireball the Mark of the Wolf inside.

"This... why is it fastened inside?" Fireball was puzzled.

"It's too ugly," Gu Fei said.

"No way! It's very cool, I think it's very good, I like it a lot!" Fireball couldn't help but touch the wolf's head on the buckle.

Gu Fei was speechless. In terms of temperament, this wolf's head buckle was indeed very compatible with Fireball.

"But Brother Zui," Fireball continued, "you can't do this. If you wear the belt inside, the mage's robe will look very ugly."

"That, it doesn't matter, right? Can it be more lewd than this belt?" Gu Fei said.

"It's like wandering around in a crowd wearing a too-long bathrobe, isn't that lewd?" Fireball said.

Gu Fei shuddered.

"If you want to wear the belt inside, you have to wear the mage's robe like this." As Fireball spoke, he unfastened the belt around his waist and fastened it inside as well. Then, he unbuttoned all the buttons on the mage's robe, lifted one side of the robe with one hand, and put the other hand on his waist, tilted his head halfway, bent his body slightly, and struck a pose: "Having a variety of styles is a mage's weapon for picking up girls!"
