“Damn it! Who the hell are you?” the other person roared at Gu Fei.

“Didn’t I say? I’m called Qian Li Zui.” After Gu Fei answered, he suddenly realized something. The person's voice had become higher pitched when they roared, making it noticeably sharp. Gu Fei took another careful look at the face he hadn’t had a chance to observe and was suddenly stunned, “You’re a woman?”

Although they were wearing heavy armor and a helmet, the appearance under the helmet was clearly that of a girl. Although she was currently grinding her teeth, she couldn't hide her delicate features. Hearing Gu Fei’s words, she suddenly stuffed her hand into a pocket on her side. With a "whoosh," she pulled out a massive dragon-head axe, which appeared before Gu Fei's eyes. What was even more frightening was that the girl was holding this giant axe with only one hand, and her other hand had the potential energy of a tiger or leopard ready to pounce. It seemed that she could reach over at any moment, grab Gu Fei's neck, and lift him into the air before slicing him into noodles with that axe.

“What, do you have a problem with that!” the girl’s volume lowered again. She abandoned the shrillness and returned to a deep, slightly magnetic voice.

“No problem,” Gu Fei blinked. There was no denying that this girl had a powerful aura.

“Then what do you mean?” The girl’s giant axe hovered over Gu Fei’s head.

“My meaning is: Thank you very much! Thank you for carrying the sack back for me. To be honest, I was having a hard time carrying it,” Gu Fei said.

The girl was clearly stunned.

“This bag of stuff is yours!” Gu Fei threw the sack at the girl's feet.

“Who wants your stuff?” the girl said.

“I have things to do, I’m leaving.” Gu Fei waved his hand and turned to leave.

“Hey… you…” The girl only managed to call out two words before Gu Fei disappeared around the street corner. A level 30 full-Agility mage's speed was not to be underestimated.

After pondering for a full half-minute, the girl couldn’t help but pick up the sack Gu Fei had left on the ground.

Driven by curiosity, she couldn’t resist opening the sack. “I’m just looking, I definitely don’t want his stuff,” the girl said to herself. After looking, she became even more firm in this belief.

“What is this?”

“What is this?”

“What is all this?”

As the girl rummaged through the sack, she kept muttering these words. Although Gu Fei’s big sack contained a lot of stuff, to be honest, its value was very low. Gu Fei had naturally already put anything that looked valuable into his own magic pocket. He wasn’t an idiot.

So, after the girl spent several minutes carefully searching the sack, she only found countless odds and ends that npC monsters often dropped, but no one knew what they were good for. For example, half a brick, a handful of gravel, a glass ball, a rotten wooden stick… Anything that players considered to have no market value could be found in Gu Fei's sack.

In the end, the girl came to the conclusion that she must have been tricked. Perhaps her comical appearance while rummaging through the sack had been secretly photographed, and it would be posted on the forums as a joke in a few days. Thinking this, the girl slammed the giant axe in her hand heavily on the ground. Gravel splashed everywhere. The most violent warrior using the most violent weapon; this pure physical attack was no joke.

“Qian Li Zui, huh! Don’t let me run into you again,” the girl thought resentfully.

“What a pity about my sack! Achoo!” Gu Fei, who had already arrived outside the bar, was still missing his homemade sack for the last time when he suddenly sneezed. After collecting himself, Gu Fei rubbed his nose and pushed open the wooden door of the bar.

Besides Xiao Lei's bar, there was more than one system-run bar in Yunduan City. Because the city was too large, in order to make things convenient for players and to make it easier to empty their wallets, the system had opened multiple bars, distributed in various corners of Yunduan City.

The one Gu Fei was going to now was relatively popular. Because it was close to the city gate, and that city gate led to where most players were currently leveling up, this bar had become everyone's first choice for a rest stop, and it was bustling with noise from morning till night, 24 hours a day.

As Gu Fei entered the bar, Fireball, who had already secured a spot, immediately stood up and shouted, “Drunk Bro, Drunk Bro, over here!”

“Hi! You there!” Gu Fei greeted.

Fireball was depressed. He was calling him "Bro" so warmly, but the other party was calling him "You there." No wonder the surrounding players were sweeping him with disdainful gazes. They were obviously treating him as the kind of person who latches onto experts, trying to get close to them.

But there was no way around it; it was all because of his name. If Gu Fei called him "Fireball," he would still be the object of ridicule. Whenever he was in this kind of dilemma, caught between a rock and a hard place, Fireball wanted to die.

“Sit down! What are you standing there for?” Gu Fei, who had already arrived and sat down, patted the table, indicating for Fireball, who was still standing in front of the table in a daze, to sit.

“How have you been lately? Have you found a guild to join?” Gu Fei understood Fireball's embarrassment, so he helped him change the subject at the right time.

Sure enough, as soon as Fireball heard this question, he immediately sat down and replied, “No, but I’ve found a guild to look at, and I’m trying to figure out how to get in.”

“Is that so?” Gu Fei picked up the glass on the table. Red wine for 50 copper coins a glass was the cheapest type of wine in the game, and it was also the best seller. Here, players held a wine glass just to get into the atmosphere. They needed to spend their money where it was needed more. “What guild is it?” Gu Fei asked, gulping down a large mouthful like it was water.

“Rebirth Amethyst,” Fireball said.

“Pfft…” Half of the wine that Gu Fei had just taken into his mouth sprayed out. Fortunately, the full-Agility mage was fast enough to turn his head, so Fireball wasn't hit directly.

“What’s wrong?” Fireball was surprised by Gu Fei’s strong reaction.

“Nothing, nothing, I choked.” Gu Fei coughed loudly, then casually asked, “What’s so special about this guild?”

“Drunk Bro, haven’t you been on the forums?” Fireball asked back.

“I haven’t been on much lately,” Gu Fei replied.

“In the player interaction section, there are various sections named after the major cities in the game. There are many guild recruitment advertisements in each section now. I found this guild in our Yunduan City section,” Fireball said, his eyes sparkling.

“Oh…” Gu Fei responded, signaling Fireball to continue.

Fireball glanced around a few times, pulled his stool closer to Gu Fei, and lowered his voice, “Drunk Bro, you can’t tell anyone about this!”

“It’s already on the forums, are you still afraid people will find out?” Gu Fei said.

“No, no, it’s not that!” Fireball said anxiously, “That post has actually been buried for a long time. I dug it up from deep down. It was posted not long after the game started. Guess what kind of guild this is.”

“What kind of guild?” Gu Fei asked while pulling up the Rebirth Amethyst guild panel to scan it.

“It’s a beauty guild.” Fireball’s tone was extremely excited. He cracked his voice on five of the six words, and the sixth word wasn’t loud enough because he ran out of breath.

Gu Fei didn’t think much of it. He had already come into contact with some of the girls from Rebirth Amethyst. As for whether they were beautiful, that depended on how you defined the concept of beauty. If you used Xi Xiaotian as the standard, then none of the ones he had met so far could be considered beautiful. If you only considered someone with a bit of appeal to be a beauty, then July, and that one called Lie Lie, plus another one whose name he couldn't remember, could be counted as three.

If they dared to claim to be a beauty guild with just this, then in "Parallel World," a virtual reality game with real-life images, some girls would seem very dishonest, very immodest, or overly imaginative.

“How is it, Drunk Bro, are you interested?” Fireball asked.

Gu Fei smiled bitterly. How should he tell Fireball?

“Let me read you their guild requirements!” Fireball said, pulling out a small notebook from his pocket and clearing his throat, “First, independent and self-reliant, without excessive dependence. How about it, I fit that bill, right?” Fireball cracked his voice again with excitement.

Gu Fei nodded. Indeed, with a grinding monster expert like him around, Fireball had never followed him to level up, very independent and not very dependent.

Gu Fei's affirmation made Fireball feel a little distracted, and he couldn't wait to continue reading, but Gu Fei raised his hand to stop him, “I believe you meet the general requirements, except for one.”

“What?”

“Did they mention that they only accept female players?” Gu Fei said.

“How did you know, Drunk Bro?” Fireball was stunned.

“They’re a beauty guild, of course they only accept female players,” Gu Fei said.

“I don’t think so,” Fireball said, scratching his head, and analyzed it in a plausible manner, “I think that requirement is just a front. First, they attract beauties, and then they use the beauties to attract other players. It’s just a means of expanding the guild. After they’ve absorbed a certain number of female players, they will definitely start attracting male players, so they need an experienced protector of flowers like me.”

Gu Fei sighed. If he hadn’t personally come into contact with the people from Rebirth Amethyst, he would have thought Fireball's argument made sense. But in fact, these guys looked at him as if he were the plague. He hadn’t even joined for 24 hours, and they were already working on his retirement. How did that seem like a guild that needed male players?

Just as he was considering how to explain it to Fireball, he suddenly heard someone call out beside him, “Qian Li Zui, you’re here too.”

Gu Fei turned his head and saw one of the members of Rebirth Amethyst. The third girl he thought could be considered a beauty if he lowered his standards, the girl July called Luo Luo.

“Oh, hello,” Gu Fei said, getting up to greet her.

Fireball's gaze toward Gu Fei was now full of admiration. Could it be that after learning kung fu, one would have unique advantages in this area? Fireball began to wonder if he should become Gu Fei’s disciple.
