He didn't know what Bu Xiao was thinking about, so focused. He didn't notice Gu Fei walking behind him until Gu Fei was right there. Attacking from behind was too boring, so Gu Fei went around to the front of Bu Xiao: "Hey!"

Bu Xiao looked up, and when he saw the black cloth covering Gu Fei's face, he immediately jumped up as if injected with chicken blood, not even bothering to attack, turning and running.

*This is even more boring than fighting an NPC,* Gu Fei thought painfully, catching up and giving Bu Xiao a slash.

Thieves were an agile profession, but Bu Xiao favored strength-based stats, and he had just lost two levels, making him slower than a fully agile mage. After all, mages, while not particularly agile, didn't lack it either.

Gu Fei found the process of killing Bu Xiao this time extremely tedious. Bu Xiao only wanted to run back to the safe zone with all his might, but Gu Fei was faster. He chased him down, slashing with his sword, step by step. The Flame Baptism fire magic attack wasn't triggered once. Bu Xiao was cut down right before he stepped into the safe zone, eliciting surprised cries from the onlookers.

Gu Fei sighed deeply. By this time, Bu Xiao had already resurrected in the Thieves' Guild, and he was naturally furious, pointing at Gu Fei and cursing. Gu Fei turned a deaf ear, spread his hands towards Bu Xiao to express his helplessness, and waved his hand, leaving.

"How was it? How was it? How was it?" By this time, Han Jia Gongzi and his group had spammed the mercenary channel with over a hundred messages.

"Solved!" Gu Fei quickly replied.

"Did he drop anything?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

"No," Gu Fei replied.

"No way! So lucky? Died three times and didn't drop anything?" Han Jia Gongzi's words made everyone very suspicious of his motives. Was he trying to completely suppress Bu Xiao's spirit by designing his death twice, or was he after the equipment on Bu Xiao?

"Kill him one more time!" Yu Tian Shenming was more direct, "I don't believe he won't drop anything."

"What was his reaction when you saw him?" Han Jia Gongzi asked Gu Fei.

"Afraid, very afraid."

"What about after he was killed?"

"Angry, very angry."

"And now?"

"I left. I guess he's going to call for help to surround me," Gu Fei said.

"Wearing a level 30 mage novice robe is a bit conspicuous. Go buy a mage robe to wear," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"I want to get some high defense equipment, preferably with some agility or strength. Any recommendations?" Gu Fei asked the experts for advice. He had been researching on the internet, but he didn't dare compare himself to these masters.

"Swift Shadow Cloak often has added agility attributes; Strongman's Cloak usually has added strength. Check out these two!" Jian Gui suggested to Gu Fei, "Although the defense isn't as good as a warrior's armor, armor is heavy equipment and requires corresponding strength points to wear. You didn't add strength, did you?"

"Not yet, I'll think about it later!" Gu Fei said.

Everyone: "..."

"In addition, please get a mage robe. It's even more conspicuous for a mage to wear a thief's favorite cloak. I guarantee you'll be the only one in the whole city," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"A mage wearing a cloak, comrades, I want to cry..." Yu Tian Shenming said.

"Don't worry, you can cry when Qian Li wears armor in the future!" You Ge comforted him.

"Your mage is a bit of a mess. I think our team needs to recruit a real mage," Han Jia Gongzi said.

Yu Tian Shenming finally cried, "If only I had played a mage."

"Okay, let's get down to business," Han Jia Gongzi said. "Now we'll return to the city. Qian Li, keep an eye on Bu Xiao's movements. If you have the chance, go test the waters and see if he's given up."

"So, am I going to buy clothes or test the waters?" Gu Fei asked.

"Figure it out yourself!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

Gu Fei thought about it. Clothes were available every day, but if he didn't chat with Bu Xiao now, when would he have the chance to get close to him in the future? He immediately went back to the Thieves' Guild, hid behind a wall, and peeked over there. Bu Xiao was still there, sitting alone at the entrance of the Thieves' Guild, playing melancholy!

Gu Fei had long suspected that Bu Xiao would call for help to find him, so how could he not be prepared? He looked around again for a while and made up his mind. He walked to the Thieves' Guild, found a dark corner, and quickly put on his masked disguise, making sure no one was paying attention to him. He turned out from behind the wall and appeared in front of Bu Xiao. Bu Xiao was naturally startled and scrambled back to the safe zone.

Gu Fei had a smile on his face, but unfortunately, no one could appreciate it because of the cloth. He leaned against the wall and raised his head towards Bu Xiao: "Hey!"

Bu Xiao stared at Gu Fei with hatred in his eyes.

The two were only a step away, but in the game, that step was the distance between life and death. Bu Xiao stood in the safe zone, straightened his back, and looked at Gu Fei, saying, "What do you want?"

"Didn't I already tell you?" Gu Fei said.

"But you..."

Gu Fei knew what he was going to say and interrupted him directly, "Yeah, maybe you're not bothering Rebirth Amethyst right now, but you turned around and bothered us! See, that's an even crazier and more dangerous move. To help you sober up, we had no choice but to resort to this tactic and killed you twice. Now the organization has sent me to ask you: How is it? Have you sobered up?"

"Who are you people?!" Bu Xiao looked almost insane.

"Asking the same question so many times, does it have any meaning? We're not kids anymore, be mature," Gu Fei said.

"Okay, be mature." Bu Xiao nodded. "I'll be mature!" Suddenly, with a hysterical roar, Bu Xiao took a step and lunged at Gu Fei, but he didn't even have a dagger in his hand. Judging from his actions, he clearly wanted to hug Gu Fei.

But Gu Fei seemed to have anticipated this, suddenly crouching down. He reversed his grip on the knife, took a horizontal step, and as he passed Bu Xiao, the Flame Baptism brushed across him, the fire magic burning Bu Xiao's body. Gu Fei flipped his wrist, and the knife fell from above, striking Bu Xiao's back. At the same time, he raised his leg and kicked Bu Xiao in the butt, and Gu Fei retreated into the safe zone.

Bu Xiao, still maintaining the posture of trying to hug Gu Fei, was staggered forward by the kick. At the same time, he was very unlucky. The second slash on his back triggered the fire magic again. Several people were standing in the direction Bu Xiao was lunging, posing for a hug, and wanted to hug Bu Xiao, but they only hugged a flash of white light.

Gu Fei looked at the Emblems of Zongheng Sihai (Longitudinal and Horizontal Four Seas) worn on different parts of these people's bodies and sighed, "Your killing intent is too heavy!"

But the others were still immersed in the scene that had just happened in an instant and couldn't break free.

Bu Xiao had arranged for people to be nearby to wait for the masked guy to appear. He didn't seek to kill the other party, but he had to see their true face. Only in this way could he find out the origin of this group of people, so that he could slowly take revenge in the future.

Gu Fei's sudden appearance made Bu Xiao feel happy. He hummed and hawed, trying to stall Gu Fei and delay for time, wanting to wait for his men to come and block Gu Fei's retreat. Then, he and his men would attack from the front and back, wanting to pounce on Gu Fei, but who knew that Gu Fei seemed to be prepared and dodged. In such a short gap, he even resolved himself.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Gu Fei's movements were incredibly fast.

However, in fact, what made Gu Fei fast wasn't speed, but rhythm. While dodging, he was already launching an attack. The first slash hit, and he immediately changed to the angle that could launch the second attack the fastest, grabbing the second slash. Before the second slash was complete, his foot had already kicked out. This resulted in Bu Xiao staggering forward while being burned to death by the attached magic attack of the second slash.

Simply put, ordinary players take four steps: one, two, three, and four. Gu Fei was doing two steps at the same time, and the connection between them was the fastest way. This kind of coherent offensive and defensive technique could only be felt as one word to outsiders: fast!

Gu Fei was standing in the safe zone at this moment, and the six players from Zongheng Sihai outside couldn't do anything to him.

Bu Xiao, who had returned to the safe zone once again, seemed to have lost his mind. He roared and rushed straight at Gu Fei, waving his hands in the air, again reaching for the black cloth on Gu Fei's face. But this time, Gu Fei didn't seem to see him and didn't move.

Bu Xiao's hand was about to grab the black cloth on Gu Fei's face when it suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Gu Fei shook his head, "You don't read the game instructions carefully. This is a safe zone for logging off. Players can't make contact with each other. Otherwise, you guys would have rushed in, thrown me out, and then cut me down. Wouldn't that make the safe zone useless?"

Bu Xiao's hand trembled in mid-air. Having died four times in a row, he was now challenging the system gods, trying to break the taboo of no contact in the safe zone. The result, of course, was in vain. But then Bu Xiao had a flash of inspiration, puffed out his cheeks, and blew a breath at Gu Fei's face.

Gu Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you an idiot? I said you can't make contact. Do you think blowing air will blow open the cloth on my face!"

Bu Xiao finally ran out of ideas and collapsed to the ground.

Gu Fei looked at him, feeling quite sympathetic, and couldn't help but comfort him, "Forget it, you didn't drop anything after dying four times. You can consider yourself lucky."

Bu Xiao didn't react at all, and it was unknown whether he heard Gu Fei's words.

Gu Fei shook his head and stepped forward, wanting to leave. He looked up and saw that the players from Zongheng Sihai were standing in front of the guild gate with a domineering aura, clearly not planning to let Gu Fei leave.
