Chapter 217 Someone Above

Gu Fei held a stick of fish in his left hand and a wine glass in his right. Hearing the sudden shout, he turned his head to look. At the same time, he swallowed the wine, his lips moving as he chewed the fish. He looked even more like a useless drunkard than Han Jia公子.

Han Jia公子 also turned to look in the direction of the shout, glanced at the approaching group, and turned back to Gu Fei. "Looking for you, huh?"

"Probably!" Gu Fei mumbled without opening his mouth, extracting a fish bone from between his lips, putting down his wine glass with his right hand, and gently picking it off. After that, he didn't pick up the wine glass again, but took out the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword.

Not many people came, only six in total, so Gu Fei didn't take his safety to heart at all. What he was concerned about was his current PK value of 29; he didn't want to accumulate any more. So he hoped these people would back down when they saw the situation, which was a little more troublesome than directly killing them all.

The six people had already walked over quickly. Gu Fei ate his fish while fully preparing for battle, showing no intention of being careless. Unexpectedly, when the six were halfway there, the two players selling wine and moving tables went up to meet them. "Gentlemen, don't you know the rules?"

"Of course, we understand," one of the six said with a smile. "But we're just walking around. We're not fighting, so we're not breaking any rules, right?"

Hearing him say this, the two hesitated for a moment and then stepped aside, but they kept a close eye on the six men's movements.

The six men indeed came straight toward Gu Fei. Many players around noticed the aggressive aura of the group of six and turned to look.

Gu Fei and Han Jia公子 had both heard the conversation between the six men and the two wine stall workers and sensed that there was some kind of unspoken rule. As two outsiders, they naturally didn't know what was going on, but there was no need to guess. Gu Fei leaned toward the two players at the table next to him. "Brothers, what rule were they talking about just now?"

The two were quite surprised. It was already this late; shouldn't this guy be running away instead of asking about the details? But despite their surprise, the two explained to Gu Fei. The answer was pretty much what Gu Fei and Han Jia公子 had guessed: since this place was run by a guild, it was basically under the guild's protection. They wouldn't even tolerate people trying to dine and dash, let alone fighting and affecting business.

"So, if I sit here and don't leave, they won't attack, right?" Gu Fei asked.

"Well… probably!" The two were even more surprised to hear that Gu Fei seemed to be planning to do so. They thought to themselves, even if this place could be considered a PK safe zone, it wasn't an offline safe zone. Was he really going to just sit there? Until when?

But after getting the answer, Gu Fei felt relieved. He turned around and put away the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword again, then picked up his wine glass and said to Han Jia公子, "It's okay, it's okay. These guys have someone above them." After saying that, he ate a bite of fish, took a sip of wine, and continued to enjoy himself.

Han Jia公子 merely raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and continued to drink his wine. In the blink of an eye, the six men had arrived at their table. Originally, they had thought that if they came over so aggressively and purposefully, Gu Fei would definitely run away, and then they could chase after him and get out of this guild-protected area. Then they could do whatever they wanted. Who knew that Gu Fei would be completely unmoved? This left the six men at a loss. They couldn't attack while standing in front of the table, but attacking was even worse.

What annoyed them even more was that the two at the table completely ignored the six men standing beside them. One drank his wine, the other ate his fish, and occasionally they would look up and squint at the glaring sunlight, as if they couldn't see the six men at all.

"Hey, brother, if you don't have anything to do, can you move aside for a moment?" One of the men, unable to hold back, spoke to Han Jia公子 first, intending to clear the area and put some pressure on Gu Fei.

"I have something to do." Han Jia公子 remained seated, and one sentence choked the man back. Although the six men were annoyed, they still couldn't attack Han Jia公子 here. To be honest, Han Jia公子 was sitting at the same table as Gu Fei, but they couldn't tell if the two even knew each other. They didn't seem to be interacting at all, each doing their own thing.

So the six men had no choice but to devote all their attention to Gu Fei, glaring at him and saying, "Hey, let's talk somewhere else!"

Gu Fei had already finished one stick of fish, but he had another. He held up the fish stick, tilted his head, and looked at the six men. "What's there to talk about?"

The six men were speechless. Frankly, they weren't here to talk; they were here to fight. But why was the person they met today so uncooperative? And they couldn't solve the problem with force here, or there would be endless trouble. The six men also happened to be inarticulate types, and after being choked back with a few common pleasantries, they didn't know what to say in the face of not being able to attack.

"Let's call for backup! This guy is acting like a rogue, and we can't attack him. Since he likes to drag things out, let him drag things out. We'll call more people to guard this place so he can't leave even if he wants to." The six men had already begun to communicate privately.

"Let's do that!" So the six men began to call their online comrades. At the same time, they all stood in a row next to Gu Fei's small table.

This mime-like, farcical confrontation made the other players drinking around them laugh. But this also showed how safe this beach was. In fact, it wasn't that each guild was protecting its own area on this beach. They were a small alliance on this territory, and players who caused trouble here would be attacked by several guilds together. After a campaign to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, all the players in Linshui City saw the determination of these guilds, and no one dared to cause trouble here again.

A moment later, Gu Fei had finished his second stick of fish. He looked up and said, "You guys haven't left yet!"

"Hmph, kid, don't pretend to be calm. Don't even think about leaving here today," someone replied.

"Who said I wanted to leave?" After Gu Fei said that, he waved his hand and ordered two more sticks of fish.

The fish came quickly, and the aroma was strong. Gu Fei keenly noticed the sound of the six men swallowing their saliva.

At this moment, Han Jia公子 suddenly looked up, looking at the six men. "When are the people you called coming?"

The six men looked dazed, and it took them a long time to confirm that Han Jia公子 was talking to them. Naturally, they were very surprised. How could he know that they had called for backup?

Little did they know that their reaction had made Han Jia公子 even more confident in his deduction. These six men were standing here foolishly, not speaking or leaving, but their faces occasionally showed an expression of confidence. He guessed that they had called for help to make it impossible for Gu Fei to escape, so he simply tried to test them, and the six men's expressions immediately betrayed them.

"Tell your people to hurry up, or it won't be fun," Han Jia公子 continued.

The six men's faces now looked idiotic. Was the other party bluffing, or did they really have some kind of trump card? The six men hoped to see some clues from the two men's expressions, but they only saw one focusing on drinking and the other focusing on eating fish. From this simple conversation, they only came to one conclusion: Han Jia公子 and Gu Fei were friends!

"This guy… isn't from our Linshui City, is he?" The six men began to talk privately.

"I don't think so. I've never seen such a person," someone replied.

"Me neither," the others chimed in.

"And I've never heard of him," someone added.

Han Jia公子 was definitely the kind of person you wouldn't forget after seeing him once, and he was very distinctive. If someone with even a little bit of a gossipy nature had seen him, the news would have spread throughout the city very quickly.

That's how it was in Cloudgloom City: There's a male priest who looks… tsk tsk, have you seen him?

This rumor had been circulating in Cloudgloom City from the beginning until now.

But there had never been such a rumor in Linshui City. So the six men came to an accurate conclusion: Han Jia公子 must not be from Linshui City either.

At this time, Gu Fei had finished his two new sticks of fish. Gu Fei realized that eating six sticks of fish was not difficult at all. He guessed that this was another trick of the game system. To promote consumption in the area of food and drink, they had turned everyone into a glutton in terms of stomach capacity.

But he had just mocked Han Jia公子 for eating six sticks of fish, so he absolutely had to hold on. At this time, the wine in his half-bottle-sized glass was also gone, and Han Jia公子 had even taken the opportunity to empty the bottle of wine on the table. Both of them were suddenly in a situation where they had nothing to do.

No wonder this guy was anxious about when the other party's people were coming… Gu Fei thought to himself, and also began to look around.

"Four sticks of fish is enough?" Han Jia公子 looked at him.

"Enough!" Gu Fei nodded firmly, absolutely not giving Han Jia公子 a chance to mock him.

Han Jia公子 didn't pay any more attention, but just looked at the six men again, and then looked at the time.

And at this time, a look of joy appeared on the faces of the six men. Gu Fei and Han Jia公子 followed their gazes and saw players running towards them on the road leading to the pier. The two leading the way were none other than the two thieves who had been sandwiched by Gu Fei with a door plank, which made Gu Fei couldn't help but laugh.

He was actually laughing at this time. This made the six men even more confused.

Gu Fei then turned to look at the six men and continued to smile. "What are you guys so happy about? I still don't plan to leave. If they come, can they fight here?"

"You want to leave!" The six men sneered. Clearly, with their companions arriving, the six men were much more confident.

"Yeah, I just want to leave. What are you guys going to do?" Gu Fei said with a smile, and suddenly stood up. The six men were startled and quickly stepped back.

No one dared to fight in this place, but they knew that Gu Fei was a person from another city. Perhaps he didn't have a deep understanding of the rules here. If he messed around, they might be implicated.

Who knew that Han Jia公子 would suddenly say, "Don't be in such a hurry. Sit down."

"Huh?" Gu Fei was puzzled.

"Open another bottle of wine." Han Jia公子 snapped his fingers at the wine seller over there, turned back to Gu Fei and said, "Sit down and watch the show."

"What show?" Gu Fei knew that this guy must have played some kind of trick again, and he also knew that the people who had been tormented by Han Jia公子 had pretty miserable endings. Gu Fei was happy to see these guys suffer a little, so he sat down again.
