Chapter 179 A Flurry of Letters

The vice guild leader of Reflection had a trembling hand while clutching the list containing the names of the four peerless experts, plus a hidden assassin and a hidden boss from the gaming world. How could such a powerful combination be so low-key in Cloud City? Reflection had previously checked the information about the Gu Fei Elite Group at the Mercenary Association, and it was as insignificant as dregs…

Why would these six people form such a small mercenary group? It couldn’t be for no reason, right? They must have some grand purpose! Reflection was deeply concerned, but Silvermoon, who had given him the most information, was unable to answer this question. He only provided two facts: the appearance of the Gu Fei Elite Group was a major factor in the closure of his Qianchen Guild in Moonlit Night City; and second, the people who organized the instant kill mage meetup were actually the Gu Fei Elite Group.

Reflection suddenly understood. He had been present at that farce and had a good impression of these people. He already knew Yu Tian Shenming, and Young Master Han was outstanding in appearance. Brother Assist was the initiator and a celebrity, so naturally, he had taken a few more glances. As for Zhan Wushang… his disguise that day was also extremely gorgeous. However, Reflection had not paid much attention at the time, as their top guild had later focused its work on Drifting.

Reflection carefully recalled, hoping to find a breakthrough from that casual contact that day. At this time, Silvermoon provided him with another important piece of information: that instant kill mage, namely Qianli Zui, seemed to have a bad relationship with the other five. The specific reason was unknown.

Reflection pondered slightly and felt that it was not difficult to understand. These top experts should all be arrogant. Recalling Yu Tian Shenming’s conceited appearance, it was definitely unpleasant for them to have such a stronger person suppressing them. Most likely out of jealousy, Qianli Zui was being ostracized in the mercenary group, so they were not so harmonious.

This might be a good breakthrough! Reflection thought to himself, but he did not know that this Silvermoon, whom he was inquiring about, was not a good person either. Apart from knowing their names, how familiar could Silvermoon be with the Gu Fei Elite Group? At this time, he was irresponsibly telling Reflection all his guesses and fantasies, which was simply misleading.

Even if there was disharmony within the Gu Fei Elite Group, it would not be caused by Gu Fei being too strong.

This kind of thing is actually mainly dominated by people's personalities. First of all, from Gu Fei's side, he is relatively modest and has helped these people a lot. Like helping Jian Gui find the Frost Memories many times, helping Yu Tian Shenming farm the Wind Chasing Boots at the cost of going to jail, and helping Zhan Wushang connect with the girls from Rebirth Purple Crystal, etc.

On the other hand, Jian Gui need not be said, he had been convinced by Gu Fei for a long time. Yu Tian Shenming and Zhan Wushang were definitely not petty people who would be jealous of the talented.

As for the other two, Brother Assist's fun in the game was not in this aspect, and he would not have the mentality of competing with others to see who was stronger.

In Young Master Han’s eyes, Gu Fei was just a martial artist and should not compete with his wisdom. In the eyes of this narcissist, he was the most awesome person. No matter how strong Gu Fei was, he was just dust in his eyes.

In such a big atmosphere, the disharmonious factors imagined by Reflection simply did not exist. But he was also a person who was very confident in his intelligence. Once he deduced it, he immediately felt that it was reasonable and wonderful. After that, Reflection tried his best to write a passionate letter of persuasion to surrender.

First, he expressed his admiration for Gu Fei, and he extended this feeling far, because in fact, they had dealt with Gu Fei long ago. After the Bu Xiao incident, he had tried his best to lead the team to pursue 27149. Although he eventually fell into the trap miserably, Reflection shamelessly said in the letter that he had been yearning for Gu Fei ever since.

Then, in very subtle language, he indirectly asked Gu Fei if he was doing well in the Gu Fei Elite Group. He did not say it clearly here, because he wanted Gu Fei to think for himself. Looking back, he was really impressed with his own language skills.

Then, Reflection talked about life and ideals, and pointed out that only big guilds and big mercenary groups were Gu Fei's best destination. Finally, Reflection strongly expressed his earnest hope for Gu Fei and made many promises that even he himself was tempted by.

After throwing his proud work into the mailbox, Reflection finally felt a weight off his shoulders. In his opinion, the matter was half done. As long as Gu Fei saw his letter, he would definitely reply. Then, he would make an appointment to meet in person, further reason with him, and persuade him to leave the Gu Fei Elite Group, starting from this competition.

Without this main killer, the Gu Fei Elite Group, even with its remaining experts, would obviously not be a concern. He would also bring a top expert to the guild, killing two birds with one stone.

For a mere six-person mercenary group, Reflection can be said to have been scheming and painstaking. But since his starting point was wrong from the beginning, how could he receive the expected effect? What's more, there were things happening that were far beyond his expectations.

Now Gu Fei has many fans. He didn't pay attention when he went online yesterday. When he went online today, after receiving a system prompt that he had 241 letters, Gu Fei was stunned and ran to the city gate mailbox.

The mailbox was piled with stacks of letters marked "For Qianli Zui." Gu Fei drew out a stack, and another stack was generated inside. After repeating this many times, he had collected all 241 letters. What made him depressed was that if the letters were put into his bag, one letter would occupy one storage space, and 241 letters could not even fill the small change. Gu Fei had no choice but to hold this stack of letters, which was nearly half a meter high, and carefully walked towards Little Lei Tavern.

"Oh my god! What is that!" Pedestrians on the road looked sideways, curiously examining.

"It's letters!" Gu Fei had a sweaty forehead and no hands to wipe it, but he still answered the crowd.

"Big brother, haven't you opened your mailbox since the open beta!" Someone exclaimed.

"That's not enough to have so many!" Someone couldn't believe it.

As a result, Gu Fei's answer made them even more collapsed: "Just these two days."

Everyone exclaimed again. He received so many letters in two days. How many friends does this person have! Having many friends is enviable everywhere. In the complex gazes of the crowd, Gu Fei moved forward.

Little Lei Tavern, Young Master Han was occupying the private room and drinking alone. Suddenly, Little Lei stretched out his hand and rolled up the curtain. Then he saw Gu Fei walking in, holding nearly half a meter high stack of letters. His head had to be tilted to one side to ensure a complete view.

"241 letters!" Gu Fei said, throwing them on the table, instantly covering the entire tabletop.

"The reaction is really enthusiastic!" Young Master Han said with a smile. He had already guessed the origin of these letters, which were nothing more than the fact that after Gu Fei was exposed, those guild leaders who had ideas about him could not send private messages to him because Gu Fei did not turn on the friend switch, so they could only use the more primitive method of writing letters.

The form and content of these letters were roughly the same. Gu Fei had quickly read three of them, with a look of disappointment on his face: "Why is it all about this!"

Young Master Han certainly knew what he saw, and smiled sarcastically: "Then what do you think it would be about?"

"Isn't there anyone who is not convinced and wants to challenge me?" Gu Fei continued to search.

Young Master Han was stunned. Did this guy have such a sinister plan when he showed his skills in the tavern that day? How did this guy come up with a calculation that was beyond his expectations again?

Gu Fei had already opened the fifth letter at this time. Seeing Young Master Han dazed on the opposite side, he smiled and said, "If you have nothing to do, help me open them!"

Young Master Han did have nothing to do, so he didn't refuse. A sip of wine, take a letter, tear it open, take a look, throw it away; a sip of wine, take a letter, tear it open, take a look, throw it away... Repeating this, the efficiency was even higher than Gu Fei's.

"Hey! Be careful, be careful not to miss anything." Gu Fei was dissatisfied with Young Master Han's perfunctory attitude.

So Young Master Han put a little more effort, changing each letter to look at it twice and throw it away…

Finally, a letter with a relatively good writing style made Young Master Han look at it for the third time, and he also turned the envelope over to look at the name: Reflection.

The name made Young Master Han slightly stunned, and then he read the letter carefully and immediately read Reflection's little plan from it. This guy wanted to instigate Gu Fei before the war to reduce the risk of their battle.

Young Master Han chuckled dumbly. It seemed that his strategic concept was extremely successful, and the opponent was completely bewildered. A 100-person mercenary group! They were actually using small tricks against a 6-person mercenary group, and they wanted to reduce the number of people on the other side. It was really too funny.

Originally, Young Master Han didn't care much about the outcome of this round of competition, but at this time, Reflection's letter gave him an opportunity to use a trick. While Young Master Han was conceiving the script in his mind, he quietly took out paper and pen from his arms and threw them to Gu Fei.

"What are you doing?" Gu Fei was seriously reading the letters, hoping that there would be one that earnestly challenged him.

"Reply to the letter," Young Master Han said.

"This... is it necessary to reply?" Gu Fei asked suspiciously.

"Nonsense, do you have any manners? People are writing so politely, are you embarrassed not to reply? And if you don't reply and explicitly refuse, I don't think this harassment will stop," Young Master Han said.

"Oh!" Gu Fei nodded, thinking it made sense. Because he had already seen two or three letters from some people, obviously they didn't receive a reply to the first letter, so they sent another one, trying to get Gu Fei's attention with a combo.

"Reply!" Gu Fei sighed, picked up the paper and pen.

"Well, I'll help you too." Young Master Han also took out a copy of paper and pen.

Gu Fei was greatly surprised. The workload of writing a reply was different from that of reading a letter. Young Master Han would actually volunteer?

"What to write? Keep it simple, just send it off with a few words," Young Master Han asked Gu Fei.

"Uh, just write 'Thank you for your kindness, but I refuse'," Gu Fei said after thinking about it.

"Well, very good, just be clear." Young Master Han nodded, buried his head in writing, but the content he wrote was very different from what Gu Fei said. And Gu Fei, who was busy over there, was unaware of this.
