Chapter 133 Miscalculation

Few could calmly see through Gu Fei's trick, and most were deceived by his "bait and switch." They felt that Gu Fei was casting his spell right beneath their feet. The scene instantly lost control, and the bosses cried out as they scrambled to dodge.

Meanwhile, experts like Piaoliu watched the panicked bosses with disdain. Then, with a loud boom, a large burst of flames erupted from the ground in the center of the tavern. The Fiery Tree Thousandfold Flames had truly ignited.

The spell's range couldn't possibly cover the entire tavern, and the fleeing players naturally ran from the center to the sides. No one would deliberately run into the middle. Therefore, not many people were hit by the spell. Mainly, it was a few who thought they had seen through Gu Fei's trick and were sitting comfortably. This included the number one mage, Piaoliu, the ladies of Rebirth Amethyst, and the leader of the Black Hand Mercenary Group, Black Finger.

The Rebirth Amethyst girls knew how terrifying Gu Fei's spells were. When they were hit, they were shocked and realized it was too late to dodge. They thought they would be instantly transported back to their respawn point, but they were surprised to find themselves still at the scene. They were naturally filled with amazement.

Piaoliu, as the number one mage of Parallel World, couldn't figure out how the spell was cast. He was deeply reflecting on his own shortcomings. The leader of the Black Hand Mercenary Group glanced at his lost health and sneered, "A one-hit-kill mage?"

Of course, these weren't the only ones hit by the spell. There were also a few slower players. Hearing Black Finger's words, they reacted and checked their damage, and their jaws dropped. The damage from the Fiery Tree Thousandfold Flames was even less than that of a naked level 40 mage. To call such damage a one-hit-kill was simply shameless.

"One-hit-kill" was the main selling point that You Ge had promoted on the forums. Many people had been attracted by those words. Now that they had personally experienced the damage of Gu Fei's spell, they felt cheated. A wave of anger erupted, and they pointed at You Ge and cursed him as a liar. Some demanded compensation, while others drew their weapons and prepared to PK. The scene became even more chaotic.

Everything was happening outside of You Ge's calculations. Seeing so many people waving their swords, daggers, bows, staffs, and scepters to kill him, he couldn't help but panic. He quickly raised his hands to appease everyone, repeatedly saying, "Everyone, don't be anxious. Let's talk things over, talk things over."

"What's there to talk about!" someone roared. "We've already seen the damage of his spell. Is that a one-hit-kill? I spit on it!"

Those who had been hit by Gu Fei had solid evidence to accuse You Ge. The others who had successfully escaped the scene were now busy asking these people for information. After hearing about the damage of Gu Fei's spell, dissatisfaction rapidly spread throughout the tavern, going from a small portion to the majority in the blink of an eye.

You Ge was certain that Gu Fei's spell damage could definitely be considered "one-hit-kill," but it was also a fact that Gu Fei's Fiery Tree Thousandfold Flames was being scorned. However, as the King of Intelligence, You Ge quickly figured out what was happening.

In online games, it wasn't easy for low damage to suddenly become high damage, but there were many ways for someone with high damage to lower their damage.

As You Ge thought, he glanced at Gu Fei. Although his face was covered, the twinkling eyes revealed outside the black cloth made You Ge involuntarily cry out in his heart, "Damn it, I've been set up!"

"Big brother, don't mess around. People are going to die!" You Ge quickly sent a private message to Gu Fei.

"The user you are calling is temporarily unavailable," the system prompt said.

"Damn it, he came prepared!" You Ge spat out blood.

Masked, deliberately casting a weak spell as soon as he entered, and even turning off message reception, this guy had obviously seen through his plan and was deliberately here to make trouble. You Ge felt helpless, but could only watch as the bosses looked like they wanted to devour him alive. This was exactly what he had said to dispel everyone's doubts: 'Everyone here is a guild leader. If I offend all of you, how am I going to survive in Cloudgloom City?'

"I'm going to have to run away too!" You Ge thought tearfully. Just then, someone suddenly stood up and spoke, "Everyone, everyone, calm down, calm down!"

The speaker was Han Jia Gongzi, but who were these people? Han Jia Gongzi obviously didn't have any weight in their eyes, and naturally no one listened to what he said. Some people who liked to be arrogant as guild leaders were already pointing their fingers and shouting, "Who are you? Who are you?"

At the same time, You Ge received a private message, also from Han Jia Gongzi: "If you solve this problem, do I get a big cut?"

"Profiteering from a disaster?" Online game experts were faster with private messages than with words. You Ge might not be good at other things, but he was top-notch in this regard. He replied faster than teleportation.

Han Jia Gongzi didn't reply, but just smiled at him.

You Ge didn't know what new trick he had come up with, and reluctantly nodded to him.

"Ahem..." Han Jia Gongzi cleared his throat. "Quiet, quiet! Let me explain." Han Jia Gongzi shouted unhurriedly to the arguing bosses.

"What's there to explain?" The arguing continued.

"Stop arguing!" Han Jia Gongzi suddenly roared, "This person is not the one-hit-kill mage we were going to introduce to everyone." Han Jia Gongzi finished speaking quickly.

The entire place instantly fell silent. Even Gu Fei looked at Han Jia Gongzi in surprise.

"Then who is he?" someone immediately asked.

"How would I know? I don't recognize him. He's just here to make trouble, right?" Han Jia Gongzi said innocently.

Damn it! How vicious! You Ge thought to himself. If Gu Fei was just a weak mage, the bosses would obviously vent their anger on You Ge. But with Han Jia Gongzi's words, the previous incident was portrayed as a misunderstanding. If anyone wanted to settle the score for the Fiery Tree Thousandfold Flames, they wouldn't be able to blame You Ge. This really solved the predicament.

Next, many bosses would probably try to settle the score with the troublemaking Gu Fei. This would definitely force Gu Fei to reveal his assassin's nature. Once he took action and killed a few in one hit, then facts would speak louder than words, and everything would become simple again. He just didn't know which poor devils would be sacrificed. You Ge thought, looking at everyone with sympathy, wondering who was most eager to be angry at Gu Fei. They would probably die by Gu Fei's sword in the blink of an eye.

Han Jia Gongzi's plan wasn't complicated. Not only did You Ge quickly understand it, but Gu Fei also figured it out in an instant. As a result, he smiled faintly at the two of them. "I won't take action, even if I die."

Han Jia Gongzi also smiled calmly. "Then you can go die!"

He had just said that he didn't recognize him, and then the two of them were talking directly. Everyone wasn't stupid, and someone immediately questioned, "Didn't you say you didn't recognize him?"

"Yeah! I don't recognize him," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Then what are you muttering about?" someone asked.

"Screw your mother!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"What did you say!" the questioner shouted in anger.

"Didn't you ask what we were saying?" Han Jia Gongzi continued to look innocent.

The questioner was speechless for a moment, and the next development once again exceeded You Ge's expectations. Among the people present, some were already eager to attack Gu Fei. Yin Yue, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood up and said calmly, "Everyone, don't panic. This person is here, and he can't run away. Don't forget that we spent 100 gold coins today, not to come here to fight. Let's ask You Ge to bring out the one-hit-kill mage first!"

As he spoke, he stared at You Ge and the others with ill intentions.

Frankly speaking, Gu Fei's appearance was very obvious. It looked like these people were going to introduce him as the mage. Who would have thought that such a side issue would arise, and Han Jia Gongzi suddenly stated that he didn't recognize this person. Things developed too quickly, and most people hadn't figured it out yet. However, Yin Yue, who had been watching coldly, knew Gu Fei's background quite well. Unlike the others, whose attention was sometimes on this person and sometimes on that person, he had been closely watching Gu Fei.

He had heard the conversation between Gu Fei and Han Jia Gongzi under his close attention, and immediately deduced that these people probably had some conflicts. Gu Fei didn't want to be the one-hit-kill mage, and Han Jia Gongzi directly admitted that he didn't recognize this person. If they couldn't produce a one-hit-kill mage at this time, this matter would still be a scam. These people would be jointly hunted down by all the bosses in Cloudgloom City, which would be too awesome.

He never thought that the opportunity for revenge would come so quickly. Yin Yue thought, and couldn't help but smile.

You Ge heard and saw everything, including the sincere malicious smile on Yin Yue's face at the end. He felt a chill in his heart.

As Han Jia Gongzi said, this Yin Yue was a very cunning character. He knew that the Young Master's Elite Group was his great enemy, but he didn't show it at all on the surface. Now that he had seized the opportunity, he immediately took a hard bite. This bite really hit the nail on the head. If they couldn't produce a one-hit-kill mage at this time, the top experts would be on the forum headlines tomorrow, and their lifelong reputation would be ruined. The legendary experts in the online game world had all become liars.

At this time, he could only hope that Gu Fei would lend a helping hand. You Ge thought, already looking at Gu Fei.

Gu Fei also knew the stakes, and although he really didn't want to be used as a money-making gimmick, Yin Yue's intentions were too obvious at this time. He couldn't let this kind of villain succeed. After weighing the pros and cons, he was preparing to kill Yin Yue in one move to prove that he was a one-hit-kill mage, and then talk about the other things later.

Just as he was planning this, Han Jia Gongzi suddenly spoke again. In such a critical situation, he still didn't change his leisurely Young Master's style, and said unhurriedly, "Everyone, you've actually already seen the one-hit-kill mage. It's this one, one of the Parallel World's Five Little Strongs, the number one mage on the mage rankings, Piaoliu!" As Han Jia Gongzi spoke, he pointed his hand at Piaoliu, who was sitting at the table and had been coldly watching the changes in the field.

"Oh..." You Ge suddenly realized. He knew that Han Jia Gongzi's words to Gu Fei, "Then you can go die," were not a threat or a word of anger, but the truth. This guy had already calculated Piaoliu as a backup plan.

However, was Piaoliu a one-hit-kill mage? Although he had the halo of one of the Five Little Strongs, he hadn't seen Piaoliu take action after all. The level difference between the current players was very small, and the ability to one-hit-kill mainly depended on equipment and spell proficiency. But Piaoliu's level was one level higher than everyone else's, and You Ge couldn't assess his equipment.

Piaoliu, who had been suddenly nominated, was also very surprised and stared blankly at Han Jia Gongzi.

The place fell silent again. Han Jia Gongzi had a smile on his face as he tried to introduce Piaoliu to everyone: "Everyone must be familiar with the name Piaoliu, right? He has always been the top of the mage rankings. He has come to our Cloudgloom City this time, and I think many of you probably don't know about it, right? With such a figure, do you think the money you spent today was not worth it?"

"Bullshit, bullshit, he's a fart of a one-hit-kill mage!" Yu Tian Shen Ming had always been quite aware of the big picture, but after all, young people were more emotional than rational. At this time, Piaoliu, who he had always regarded as an opponent and enemy, was being raised to such a high position. He was angry in his heart and shouted regardless.

Han Jia Gongzi was still not in a hurry and turned to the direction where Wu Shi Zhi Jian was sitting. "Guild Leader Wu Shi, take your wild child back and teach him a good lesson later. This kid has been unable to stand Piaoliu for a long time. He knew that Piaoliu had come to Cloudgloom City, but he didn't introduce him to you. Don't blame him too much."

The fact that the relationship between the two famous mages in the online game world was not harmonious was known to experienced players. Seeing that Yu Tian Shen Ming was just a young boy, Han Jia Gongzi's statement was easily accepted by everyone. Yu Tian Shen Ming was still shouting "Bullshit, bullshit," but everyone looked at him with a "doting" gaze and completely regarded him as an angry child.

The atmosphere in the place returned to harmony, and You Ge looked at everything in disbelief. Damn! It's really solved?
