Chapter 1 The Affairs Continue

Although Gu Fei logged off, the matters concerning him had not yet stopped.

Having been defeated by Gu Fei in the PK and thrown into prison, Nilv Nianshang's thoughts of Gu Fei didn't cease. But once you enter the dungeon, it's like entering a deep sea; there's no way to contact anyone else in the game. Nilv Nianshang wasn't slow-witted, quickly logging off and contacting the guild comrades who witnessed his PK with Gu Fei through other means.

Learning that the other party had asked for Gu Fei's name, Nilv Nianshang felt quite relieved. He then instructed them to keep it quiet for the time being, and returned to the game to sit in prison.

One PK allowed Nilv Nianshang to understand Gu Fei better. How to attract this person to join the guild became the subject that Nilv Nianshang was preparing to tackle.

On the other hand, Yun Zhong Mu Di, the guild leader of the Yun Mu guild, didn't know that washing away his PK value had caused him to miss the best opportunity to have Gu Fei take the initiative to join. After logging off, eating his fill, and sleeping soundly, he returned to the game in the afternoon, a different scene compared to the early morning.

As soon as he logged in, he received a message from the female spy they had sent: she had contacted the people of Resplendent Amethyst, but was rejected. Joining this guild actually required a referral from someone in the guild; they didn't accept self-recommendations.

Yun Zhong Mu Di was stunned. Different guilds have different ways of recruiting people, but Resplendent Amethyst's method was the most difficult to deal with. These types of guilds are generally not large and don't have any grand ambitions, but the atmosphere within the guild is excellent. The members have close relationships and are inseparable in the game. It's not impossible to join this type of guild, but it takes time. You have to first become familiar with some of the members of the guild, and then have a chance to join after being recognized by them.

This would take an unknown amount of time to accomplish, so Yun Zhong Mu Di immediately canceled the spy plan and prepared to implement the golden yuan plan that he had been preparing all along.

Opening the friends list, he saw that Nilv Nianshang was still online. He wondered how that guy was doing. Yun Zhong Mu Di thought to himself and sent a message, but received a system prompt that "the other party is not in the service area." The experienced Yun Zhong Mu Di knew what this meant, and was secretly delighted. He thought to himself that Nilv Nianshang had stumbled into prison, so he was going to gain the upper hand in this headhunting war.

Thus, Yun Zhong Mu Di became even more composed, calmly arranging for the online guild members to carry out their work, while he leisurely walked towards the city gate. The system prompted him that he had a new email.

"Did you find out what you wanted? Contact me anytime if you need anything."

Yun Zhong Mu Di looked at this short message, which was sent shortly after he logged off. The sender's name was Xi Xiao Tian, and next to the name was a vivid smiley face, looking at him with a smile.

"It's her..." Looking at this smiley face immediately reminded Yun Zhong Mu Di of the beauty who quoted him and Nilv Nianshang 1000 gold coins last night. After sneering, he casually tore the letter into pieces.

1000 coins? Might as well rob someone! Just spend some money on the girls of Resplendent Amethyst; he didn't believe that none of them would be tempted by money. Yun Zhong Mu Di was extremely confident in his golden yuan plan.

A moment later, the Yun Mu guild's eyes and ears were spread all over the city. They didn't know which one Gu Fei was, but they recognized a few of the Resplendent Amethyst girls. They had faced each other last night, and besides, everyone paid more or less attention to this all-female guild. Last night, the girls were all offline, so they couldn't find anyone. Now, in broad daylight, Yun Zhong Mu Di had already received several reports pointing out the locations of several Resplendent Amethyst girls.

"Just keep an eye on them; I'll contact them one by one," Yun Zhong Mu Di instructed.

At this time, the closest target to him was heading towards the East City Gate where Yun Zhong Mu Di was. Yun Zhong Mu Di adjusted his armor and stood under the city gate in a dashing pose. Before long, he saw the four Resplendent Amethyst girls walking in this direction, with Yun Mu guild's thieves stealthily following not far behind. Of course, Yun Zhong Mu Di couldn't see them, but he received a message from them: the four girls are coming.

Yun Zhong Mu Di saw them in his eyes, waiting for the four girls to approach slowly, and cleared his throat: "Beauties."

The four little girls stopped and turned to look at him.

Yun Zhong Mu Di smiled slightly: "I want to ask you something."

"What is it?" The girls were quite enthusiastic.

"You're from Resplendent Amethyst, right?" Yun Zhong Mu Di asked knowingly.

The four girls nodded.

"You have a male player in your guild, right?" This was also knowingly asking.

The four girls still nodded.

"What's his name?" Yun Zhong Mu Di tried to say it very casually, as if asking casually. Originally, the plan last night was to ask the girls of Resplendent Amethyst, and the golden yuan plan would only be launched if he couldn't get any information by asking directly.

The four girls immediately became vigilant: "Who are you?" The girls had developed this sense of vigilance over time, because male players often asked about the names of the guild's girls in an attempt to pursue them. To avoid entanglement, the girls would never casually tell anyone the name of any girl in the guild without asking for the person's opinion. Although Gu Fei was a man, the girls had already developed this habit. When someone asked about someone in the guild, they first had to figure out the other person's intentions.

"My name is Yun Zhong Mu Di," Yun Zhong Mu Di said. He was ranked sixth on the warrior leaderboard. This alone would make Yun Zhong Mu Di's name eye-catching even if he went to other main cities. But the four little locals from Yun Duan City looked at each other blankly: "Who's that?"

"The guild leader of Yun Mu guild. You fought with us last night," Yun Zhong Mu Di was quite depressed. It was one thing not to recognize him when they met, but how could they not recognize him even after hearing his name? Was he really that much of a passerby?

"Oh, is that the stupid guild that clearly had 500 people, but only sent 50 people to the guild war?" one girl said.

"Hey!" The other girl next to her immediately tugged at her: "Don't talk nonsense!" As she spoke, she stole a glance at Yun Zhong Mu Di.

Yun Zhong Mu Di felt wronged! But he couldn't say anything, because it was the truth. As for whether it was stupid or not... the result was that Yun Mu lost. Would you say that's stupid or not?

Yun Zhong Mu Di coughed and changed the embarrassing topic, continuing to ask very politely: "I want to ask what that mage's name is?"

"Ah! I remember you," one girl exclaimed, "You came to ask last night after the guild war."

Yun Zhong Mu Di nodded: "Yes!"

"Sister Xiao Wu said we can't tell you. Let's go! Let's go!" The four girls turned around and hurriedly left.

"Hey..." Yun Zhong Mu Di had already reached into his pocket and grabbed his money bag, preparing to launch the golden yuan plan, but suddenly closed his mouth and released his hand.

In an instant, Yun Zhong Mu Di had a little idea.

There were four girls together, so if he wanted to pay, he would have to satisfy all four of them. If it took 100 gold coins to get one of them to speak, now that there were four people together, 100 gold coins would be equivalent to 25 gold coins. This meant that he had to add money, four times the amount, which was too uneconomical.

Why bother hanging himself on this one tree? Thinking this way, Yun Zhong Mu Di asked about the location of the next target.

"Trading Third Street, setting up a stall!" Someone reported the second closest target to Yun Zhong Mu Di.

Yun Zhong Mu Di quickly rushed to Trading Third Street. His subordinates had already approached at the street entrance, leading Yun Zhong Mu Di to a certain girl's stall, pointing at her.

Yun Zhong Mu Di sized up the girl. She was a fighter, currently hugging her knees and squatting on the ground, with a few pieces of broken equipment on her small stall in front of her. The girl was looking around, eagerly waiting.

"Looks like she's short on money," Yun Zhong Mu Di smiled and walked forward.

A few minutes later, a commotion suddenly broke out in Trading Third Street. Yun Zhong Mu Di squeezed out of the crowd, clutching his head. Several pieces of equipment were thrown out from behind him, and a fighter girl was waving her fists and cursing behind him: "Trying to poach people from our guild! And trying to bribe me with money! You brat, don't run!"

Yun Zhong Mu Di fled Trading Third Street in a state of embarrassment. The guild members responsible for watching her also chased after him, looking at Yun Zhong Mu Di in confusion: "Guild leader, why are you so afraid of her?"

"There are too many people here; it's not suitable for this!" Yun Zhong Mu Di was covered in sweat. As soon as his intention was revealed, the girl flew into a rage. What he feared wasn't the girl, but the eyes of so many people on Trading Street. Bribery and taking kickbacks are all done in private. Now, being shouted out on the spot in the most prosperous street, Yun Zhong Mu Di was naturally ashamed and angry.

"Trading Street, taverns!! Let's put those in crowded places on hold for now," Yun Zhong Mu Di announced, still feeling lingering fear.

"There are few people here!" Someone immediately submitted a location: a sparsely populated street in Yun Duan City. Yun Zhong Mu Di rushed over while asking: "What is she doing there?"

"Seems like she's grinding a quest," the member reported.

"What kind of quest is there?" Yun Zhong Mu Di was confused.

"I don't know!" The member was also confused. "Could it be some kind of hidden quest? She's been grinding here for a long time."

"Is that so!" Yun Zhong Mu Di was delighted and hurriedly arrived at this street, seeing two members sticking their heads out at the end of the street. Seeing Yun Zhong Mu Di coming over, they pointed in a certain direction, explaining to him.

"We calculated that she comes here every seven minutes. It's been six minutes already; she'll be here soon."

Just as they were speaking, a girl appeared at the other end of the street, running clangingly towards the place the two were pointing at.

"I'm going." Seeing that the other party was also a warrior, Yun Zhong Mu Di felt a sense of closeness. He straightened out his armor and ran clangingly in that direction as well.
