Chapter 1 As Expected

Sure enough, as soon as Soto rushed out of the house, he stuck two fingers in his mouth and whistled.

The whistle echoed around, and Gu Fei nervously looked around, but he didn't see a single monster. However, Boss Soto didn't care about any of this. After whistling, he waved his broadsword and charged towards Gu Fei.

Soto was a humanoid monster about the same height as a normal person, but his naked upper body was covered in strong muscles, and his face was also very fierce. He fully complied with the official principle that "as long as it is a monster that players need to chop, it must have a hateful face."

Soto rushed to Gu Fei with a ferocious expression and swung his knife.

This time, Gu Fei didn't dare to resist head-on. In his opinion, Soto was an opponent who was superior to him in both speed and strength. To defeat him, he could only rely on skill.

What is skill?

Kung fu! This is actually the skill of how to effectively fight.

The legendary eighteen weapons, such as knives, spears, sticks, axes, hooks, and forks, actually refer to eighteen fighting skills.

Tang Blade Nine Links!

This is a very targeted fighting skill specifically for using a Tang blade. Gu Fei chose the blade in his hand precisely because its style was basically the same as a Tang blade, which could perfectly display this blade technique.

Gu Fei held the hilt tightly with both hands, staring at Soto from two meters away.

Here it comes! Gu Fei's eyes twitched. He had already seen Soto shrug his shoulders, driving his whole body.

Gu Fei quickly dodged to the side, and a powerful red light slid past him. This move is called "Red Beauty Flash." Gu Fei heard Han Jia Gongzi say that one of the benefits of blocking Soto in the house is that he won't release this ultimate move.

The damage of this move is too great. No one can block this move with the defense power of the current player equipment, even if you add all your points to constitution. That's what Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Why block? Dodge!" Gu Fei asked at the time.

"You show me how to dodge!" Han Jia Gongzi replied irritably at the time.

Gu Fei has now dodged it, but unfortunately Han Jia Gongzi didn't see it. Frankly speaking, the skill of fighting is simple, it is the eight words that Gu Fei's father said: eyes follow hands, hands follow eyes.

Ordinary people can't even keep their eyes on the opponent's hands, let alone their hands following their eyes.

But Gu Fei's eyes can more than keep up with his hands. As for his hands following his eyes, in the game this requires the support of points. Coincidentally, he has all agility points, which is enough to deal with the Soto in front of him.

This is also thanks to the excellent simulation system of "Parallel World." Even the actions of the NPCs are very consistent with real human mechanics. Even if it is a mystical move like "Red Beauty Flash" that only exists in the game, you still have to swing your arms and lift your legs, there are signs.

In this way, Gu Fei has the awareness and ability to dodge the Boss's attacks, while the Boss has the NPC's usual habit of being beaten without dodging, only counterattacking. The difference is immediately apparent.

The only thing Gu Fei worried about was how much damage his attacks would do to Soto.

At this time, Gu Fei's mind was only on the knife in his hand. He subconsciously felt that he could only rely on the knife in his hand. Spells? Gu Fei hasn't realized it yet.

But this knife is just ordinary stuff. Usually, it is enough to deal with ordinary monsters with maximum damage, but facing a Boss who is always thick-blooded and has high defense, Gu Fei has to worry about it.

But when Gu Fei seized an opportunity for the first time and cut into Soto's abdomen with a horizontal slash from the "Divergence Three Styles," the sense of obstruction from the tip of the knife greatly increased Gu Fei's confidence.

If Sword Demon used the amount of blood of each monster and the number of Gu Fei's attacks to judge the damage of each of his knives, then after so many days of immersion in the game, Gu Fei could know how much damage this knife caused from the feeling in his hand at the moment when the attack hit the opponent.

This knife to Soto is definitely the real maximum damage. Even when attacking ordinary monsters, it is impossible to exert the damage of the knife so thoroughly. This made Gu Fei a little puzzled. Could it be that the defense of a dignified Boss is not as good as ordinary monsters?

After a few more rounds of maneuvering, when Gu Fei hit Soto's left leg with a knife, he finally understood.

The reason why there is so much damage is because of Soto's naked upper body.

It seems that in this case, Soto's upper body's defense value is regarded as 0. And just now when he slashed at Soto's left leg, because he was wearing some kind of armor on his leg, there was no damage at all.

After thoroughly understanding this, Gu Fei cheered up and aimed at Soto's upper body whenever he saw an opening. As for the lower body, knowing that the attack was useless, Gu Fei ignored it when an opening was revealed.

Even so, this battle with Soto lasted a full fifteen minutes!

Although Soto's defense was 0, this Boss's blood was really not a joke. Gu Fei was now a little skeptical about the feasibility of Han Jia Gongzi's tactic of grinding Soto to death. Gu Fei had just learned the Fireball Barrage he said. This spell is not clearly a range damage spell, it just has this additional effect. That little damage value, if you want to grind this Soto to death... damn it, it feels like they don't have to go to work the next day.

Soto, who was injured all over his upper body, automatically separated his body when he fell. Moreover, the head was automatically packaged. Gu Fei smiled. After all, this NPC is also made quite like a living person. It would be too cruel and bloody for players to kill him and then cut off his head.

Picking up the package and taking a closer look, the marked name was "Head of the Mountain Bandit Leader."

But at this time, Gu Fei was trapped at the bottom of this cave. The secret passage stone gate he sneaked in through could not be pushed open from this direction, and Gu Fei did not find any door opening mechanism on this side of the gate that Sword Demon and the others were going to break through from the front. It seemed that he could only wait for them to kill their way in, open the door, and then he would have a chance to go out.

Having nothing to do, Gu Fei strolled into Soto's small wooden house. As soon as he entered the door, he heard a weak voice say, "Who are you?"

Gu Fei was startled. Before he could respond, the voice had already started chattering to itself. Gu Fei breathed a sigh of relief. This was the style of the NPCs in "Parallel World." Asking "Who are you?" is just to make you aware of his existence. The next long passage of nonsense is the legendary explanation of the plot. Next!

"Are you willing to help me?" the weak voice said.

So it's a mission. Gu Fei muttered to himself. He didn't listen carefully to the long passage of nonsense from the NPC. It seemed that he was saying that he came from some place to find something, but he was captured by the mountain bandits here. He was unyielding, so he was tortured to the point of being half dead. Now he only had one breath left, but fortunately, a hero like Gu Fei appeared, hoping that Gu Fei would help him complete his unfinished business, etc.

Without thinking, Gu Fei chose to accept. Missions! There is no loss in accepting, and you can cancel it at any time even if you don't want to do it in the future. As for the mission information that he didn't hear clearly, it doesn't matter. There will naturally be an introduction on the official website, and you can check it at any time if you want to do it.

After hearing Gu Fei's agreement, the guy who only had one breath left immediately said, "Thank you, take my badge and good luck!"

The dying man stretched his hand towards Gu Fei, Gu Fei took the thing in his hand, and immediately died very decisively.

Gu Fei looked down at the badge he had received in his hand. There was no information, only the name of the badge: Eddie's Crest.

In the badge information display, golden light was shining, which was the wording that only high-end equipment in "Parallel World" would have.

"Eddie's Crest", all attributes +6.

Just starting the mission, and I haven't done anything yet, and I got such a strong thing? What kind of mission is this? Gu Fei was surprised. Frankly speaking, something with all attributes +6 is far inferior to equipment like "Frost's Memory" with a single attribute +25. Although it increases the total attributes by five points more than "Frost's Memory", in fact, basically no character will have an average attribute bonus. From the perspective of maximizing one's greatest advantage, this "Eddie's Crest" is actually a bit of a chicken rib.

However, gold equipment is gold equipment. Its appearance seems to be foreshadowing the gold content of this mission. Even Gu Fei, who is not very interested in missions, couldn't help but be a little moved. He immediately opened the mission panel and saw such an item in his mission bar: Eddie's Mission.

Eddie, who embarked on a journey to complete his mission, unfortunately died at the hands of mountain bandits. Can you complete his mission for him?

There is only such a sentence in the mission introduction. Missions in "Parallel World" are like this. The information is all in the NPC's dialogue. The mission bar only tells you the existence of this mission and basically has no prompts. No wonder the players doing missions on the street all carry small notebooks and frantically write down what the NPCs say!

Gu Fei put the crest on his chest, looked down, and felt that the attire was a bit nondescript, so he put it inside his clothes. The crest belongs to the accessory category, as long as it is not in Doraemon's pocket, it will work no matter how it is carried. At this time, Gu Fei felt his own strength. All attributes +6, which is equivalent to increasing 30 attribute points at once, which is equivalent to leveling up 6 levels!

That's right, I wonder if there will be anything good here in Soto. Let's rummage through it quickly. Thinking, Gu Fei buried his head and rummaged through the house.

At this time, Sword Demon and his party, who were still outside the cave, had finally rushed to the final checkpoint.

There was a small Boss guarding the door here, and there were also many small thieves around, which were quite difficult to deal with. The few people tried their best to eliminate them. Zhan Wu Shang, who was responsible for pulling the monsters' aggro, almost died. Fortunately, Sword Demon came up to help him block it at the last moment. At that time, Han Jia Gongzi's mana had bottomed out and he couldn't provide any assistance at all. Only Sword Demon, this old comrade-in-arms, could detect his predicament at that moment.

The crowd, who had finished the battle, counted their injuries. Except for Han Jia Gongzi and Yu Tian Shen Ming, who was mainly a ranged attacker, the other three were in a mess.

"Okay." Han Jia Gongzi comforted everyone, "The difficult things are over here. The next battle is also a waste of time. The monsters here will respawn in more than five minutes. Everyone can just rest and recover their blood and mana. Qian Li, it's up to you next."

"Qian Li?" Han Jia Gongzi turned his head, but only saw that the employer was standing behind with a strange expression.

"Where's Qian Li Yi Zui?" Han Jia Gongzi looked around.
