Hu Die Lan
Chapter 164 Busyness
The Rebirth Amethyst mercenary group was only established right before the competition, so there wasn't enough time to level up to the second tier. The level one mercenary group had a limit of 20 people, and Rebirth Amethyst had over 50 girls, so even if they wanted to, they couldn't all participate.
Han Jia公子 glanced at the information and tossed it back onto the table, disdainfully saying, "How could this group of women possibly see through my intentions?"
Gu Fei laughed and said, "It's not seeing through, it's ignoring. Understand? They've always ignored any tactics."
"The highest realm!" You Ge laughed, "This is the highest realm of responding to all changes with no change."
Looking at the reactions of the others, only Jian Gui was the most serious, still carefully looking at the information, while Zhan Wushang and Yu Tian Shen Ming were looking at the same copy together, competing to see who recognized more of the 20 girls. Gu Fei leaned his head over, "Compare with me!"
"Get lost!" the two said in unison.
Han Jia公子 suddenly felt a pang in his heart.
Yu Tian Shen Ming and Zhan Wushang were guys who lost their composure when they met women, and Gu Fei had a deep friendship with this group of women. This battle was full of variables with these three combat forces. But these girls were also a group of simpletons who wouldn't directly pay attention to Han Jia公子's strategic intentions. Could it be that he had met his nemesis this time?
Han Jia公子 looked towards You Ge and Jian Gui. Jian Gui was still looking at the information without saying a word, and You Ge was looking at Gu Fei and the other two, also with a worried expression.
"Uh, the Amethyst Mercenary Group's strength is average, but Xi Yao Wu is one of the Five Little Strong and has a set of top-grade equipment made with RMB, so her strength is extremely powerful. We still need to be cautious," You Ge said.
"Haha!" Yu Tian Shen Ming suddenly laughed, "I recognize fifteen, you only recognize eleven, Wushang, you're getting old!"
"Damn it!" Zhan Wushang said indignantly, grabbing the information and tearing it to shreds.
Gu Fei didn't say anything on this side, because he suddenly realized that out of the 20 girls on this list, he could only recognize and call out the names of eight of them in person. Looking at the envious gazes of Yu Tian Shen Ming and Zhan Wushang, who probably thought that he was as close as brothers with all twenty of them, Gu Fei felt really guilty.
At this time, Yu Tian Shen Ming took another piece of information and pointed to a name on it, saying, "You're not allowed to hit this beauty!"
Gu Fei leaned over and took a look, "Grape…" Who was this? Gu Fei couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time.
Zhan Wushang also glanced at it, "Oh? You've taken a fancy to Grape beauty."
Yu Tian Shen Ming smiled proudly, "This beauty is very good, and more importantly, I think she's very interested in me."
"Bah!" Zhan Wushang scoffed.
"Qianli, help me pay attention to her usually!" Yu Tian Shen Ming said to Gu Fei. They always felt that as a member of this guild, Gu Fei must be more familiar with the girls than they were. At least he had a lot more opportunities to chat and connect with the girls in the guild channel.
"Definitely, definitely." Gu Fei answered while thinking: Damn it, which girl is Grape… He opened the guild panel and glanced at it. Grape was a level 37 priest. Gu Fei only knew Luo Luo among the priests in Rebirth Amethyst. Gu Fei never paid attention to these non-combat professions usually.
The three continued to chat idly about the information, and the priest sitting opposite them naturally had all kinds of resentment in his heart.
Usually when they had a small meeting, these three guys would either sleep or drift off into the universe. Today they were uncharacteristically serious, and they had already determined one quota for throwing the match right from the start. It seemed that these three couldn't be counted on today. Han Jia公子 only hated that he wasn't a sturdy combat profession, otherwise he would have given the three of them a good beating one by one.
"Jian Gui, prepare yourself well, we'll mainly rely on you today." Han Jia公子 didn't say much more, and said lightly to Jian Gui.
Jian Gui finished reading the information, put it back on the table, and nodded.
On the other hand, Rebirth Amethyst had been in a state of excitement ever since they drew this lot. Many girls who hadn't signed up to join the mercenary group before were now very regretful. However, it was impossible for the mercenary group to immediately level up to the second level at the moment. Even if they leveled up to the second level, they could add new people, but the members participating in the competition were fixed at the time of registration. They could only withdraw, not enter.
"Ahhhhh!" Many girls were howling in regret. The main thing was that they had no chance to witness the legendary figure: Melee Mage 27149. As for the other members of the Young Master Elite Group, they had long been exposed. It wasn't that Qi Yue and the others who knew the truth didn't respect the confidentiality principles of the Young Master Elite Group, but that Yu Tian Shen Ming and Zhan Wushang had abandoned their principles in the process of chasing girls. In order to establish their tall image, they desperately tried to put gold on their faces. The Young Master Elite Group, which was a glorious existence in the girls' minds, became an excellent material for the two of them to show off. However, the two of them still held on to a bottom line, which was not to expose Gu Fei's identity.
Gu Fei was the most admired by the girls, and his strength was indeed outstanding. What was even more terrifying was that he was already in this group of girls. If this identity was exposed, Yu Tian Shen Ming and Zhan Wushang felt that they wouldn't even have a chance to drink the soup. After so much painstaking effort, they must not let Gu Fei disrupt the girls' vision.
But with so many mercenary groups in Cloudrise City, who would have thought that they would actually meet in the competition by such a coincidence? Wouldn't 27149 reveal his true form this time?
"Hahahaha!" The most excited and proud was 27149's number one fan, Lie Lie, "I can finally see my idol." Lie Lie was also howling.
"Hehehehe…" Luo Luo and Liu Xia laughed dryly together. She was currently the only two in Rebirth Amethyst who knew that Gu Fei was actually the Melee Mage in the Young Master Elite Group.
"Hmph, is this person really that powerful?" Xi Yao Wu asked. She had been a member of Rebirth Amethyst for some time, and this 27149 had always been a topic that the girls liked to talk about.
Everyone nodded: "Powerful, super powerful. Chased a thief until he lost eight levels!"
"Which thief is so useless?" Xi Yao Wu was furious.
"Bu Xiao."
"Oh, that dead swindler! Don't let me meet him." Xi Yao Wu wiped her dagger.
"There's still one hour left." Several girls excitedly counted down the time.
"Hey, hey! We're going to compete, not attend a fan meeting," Xi Yao Wu said.
"Of course, I also want to let him see how powerful I am!" Lie Lie smashed her fist.
Both sides were counting down the time in their respective strongholds. About half an hour before the competition, they both stood up together: "Let's go!"
The Amethyst Mercenary Group left the guild, and the Young Master Elite Group left Little Lei Tavern.
These two places were very close to begin with. And they were walking in the same direction. They were about to meet at the intersection ahead. Yu Tian Shen Ming, with his sharp eyes, saw the girls from Rebirth Amethyst walking out of the alley on the opposite side, and suddenly remembered something, quickly giving Zhan Wushang a look.
Zhan Wushang's comprehension was also amazing, and the two of them suddenly stepped forward together.
"Qianli!" Zhan Wushang reached out and patted Gu Fei.
"Hmm?" Of course Gu Fei wouldn't dodge this pat. He didn't expect Zhan Wushang's hand to grip him tightly as soon as it touched him, and then drag him to the side. Gu Fei had no resistance at all, and was pulled into another alley next to him with a swoosh. Yu Tian Shen Ming also followed in very stealthily.
"What are you doing?" Gu Fei was surprised.
"The people from Rebirth Amethyst are here!" Yu Tian Shen Ming said sneakily.
Gu Fei didn't understand for a moment.
"If they see you with us at this time, your identity as 27149 will be exposed!" Yu Tian Shen Ming reminded him.
"So what if it's exposed, what's the big deal…" Gu Fei was starting to regret hiding this identity. He desperately wanted the people who hated him to come more violently. These days without PK were very difficult!
"Bullshit! If they know you're 27149, how are we going to get any action!" Yu Tian Shen Ming blurted out the truth.
Gu Fei remembered that these two guys had vowed to the girls that Gu Fei was definitely not 27149, but just a guy who was trying to join their mercenary group but had never succeeded, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Even if we get into the competition like this, you'll still be recognized!" Zhan Wushang worried.
"We have to disguise you! Hold him down!" Yu Tian Shen Ming said to Zhan Wushang.
Zhan Wushang pinned Gu Fei against the wall with one hand.
"Have you two not been killed for a long time!" Gu Fei expressionlessly put his hand into his pocket.
Those who knew Gu Fei better knew how terrifying his Twin Incineration Flash was. If they took it out, both of them would die. The two of them felt a pang of fear and didn't dare to continue.
"What do you two want me to do!" Gu Fei sighed.
"Cover your face, change your clothes, and you can't use that sword." Yu Tian Shen Ming knew that he couldn't force Gu Fei, and had a pitiful and pleading look on his face.
"Forget it, I'll do as you say!" It didn't matter to Gu Fei whether he hid his identity or not, but since someone asked, he would help his brothers! Thinking like this, Gu Fei took off the Dark Night Spirit Robe, put on the Burning Robe he had bought in Moonlit Night City a long time ago, and also dug out the masked triangular black cloth that he hadn't seen for a long time and covered his face with it: "Is this okay?"
The two were satisfied, and one patted Gu Fei's shoulder, saying, "You're a good brother!"
"Don't ever take out the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword to use," Yu Tian Shen Ming reminded him.
"Hey, you two aren't going to deliberately throw the match in the competition, are you?" Seeing the attitude of the two, Gu Fei felt very worried.
"Don't worry, we're not that cheap," the two said.
Gu Fei was deeply impressed: "So you still know you're cheap."
"You have to be cheap to pick up girls, let me tell you…"
"Get lost, you little brat!" Gu Fei waved his hand.
"You old fogey, you get lost too." Gu Fei saw that Zhan Wushang wanted to continue talking, and directly interrupted him before walking away.
"Do I really look that old?" Zhan Wushang said sadly to Yu Tian Shen Ming.
"Not just your looks, you're very old to begin with. This is a world for young people," Yu Tian Shen Ming said.
"Get lost!" Zhan Wushang picked up Yu Tian Shen Ming and threw him away.
The three of them were busy for a long time, but they didn't know what happened at the intersection over there.
Han Jia公子 and the other two continued to move forward and met the girls from Rebirth Amethyst. Both sides knew that the other side was their opponent, and after looking at each other, they walked towards the Mercenary Guild at an appropriate distance.
"Hey, where's Qianli! Why isn't he with you!" Xi Yao Wu suddenly shouted at the three of them.
"Qianli?" All the girls were stunned.
"Don't you know? Qianli is in the same mercenary group as them!"
"They… are the Young Master Elite Group!" The girls said blankly.
"Uh?"
Qianli is the mage of the Young Master Elite Group? The Melee Mage? 27149? There was a commotion among the girls, leaving only Luo Luo and Liu Xia laughing bitterly.
While the girls were looking at each other, Han Jia公子 and the other two calmly chose to ignore them and went on their way.
"Qianli is the Melee Mage? 27149?" Lie Lie reacted strongly, with a mournful face. Ever since that last incident, she and Gu Fei hadn't spoken again, and it was clear that the relationship between the two was at freezing point. Knowing Gu Fei's identity obviously wouldn't help improve the relationship between the two.
"So it really is him!" Qi Yue was also muttering to herself. She had been somewhat suspicious all along, but it had been covered up each time. Now that it was confirmed, then the original doubts would become evidence again.
Only Xi Yao Wu was still somewhat confused: "Didn't you say that this 27149 is a hidden character? How did he suddenly become Qianli?"
"That's right, Qianli can't even beat me, how could he be such a powerful person." It took time for June Rain's brain to make this turn.
"Qianli can't beat you? Really?" Xi Yao Wu had fought alongside Gu Fei many times, and so far had never seen anyone who Gu Fei's magic couldn't kill in seconds, whether it was a long-range area attack or a close-range Twin Incineration Flash.
So June Rain began to tell Xi Yao Wu about the past. For a while, the girls discussed the issues related to Gu Fei and 27149 in pairs, and they almost forgot about participating in the competition. In the end, it was Luo Luo and Liu Xia, who were still sober, who reminded everyone that there wasn't much time left before the start of the competition.
On the other side, Han Jia公子 and his three finally met Gu Fei and the other three in the changing room. Looking at Gu Fei's getup, the three were surprised.
"What kind of trick are you playing again?" Han Jia公子 asked.
"Ask those two," Gu Fei said angrily.
The two of them proudly explained, and Han Jia公子 listened patiently while sneering. At the end, he gave the two a heavy blow in a slow and methodical manner: "Don't bother, they already know Qianli's identity over there."
"How could this happen?" The two jumped up.
"Xi Yao Wu barged in during the meeting last time and found out that we and Qianli are in the same mercenary group," You Ge reminded.
"Why would she barge in for no reason!" Zhan Wushang was angry.
Yu Tian Shen Ming slapped himself sadly: "It's all my fault for being greedy!" If he hadn't been greedy and made the shoe deal with Xi Yao Wu, Xi Yao Wu wouldn't have excitedly ran into their meeting to show off to Gu Fei, and naturally she wouldn't have revealed Gu Fei's identity at this time.
"Well, it seems that it's not easy to have both wealth and beauty," You Ge realized about life.
"In that case, I don't need to do this anymore, right!" Gu Fei tore off the mask on his face.
Yu Tian Shen Ming was sad, and Zhan Wushang was depressed.
As he changed his clothes again and prepared the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword, he didn't know that the guild channel was already exploding. The girls were discussing Gu Fei's identity as 27149. But Gu Fei was clearly online at this time, but he didn't say a word.
"Doesn't this guy ever look at the guild channel?" One of the girls spoke the truth.
"He's been hiding it from us for so long!" One of the girls said with emotion.
"We can ask Qianli for an autograph later!" One of the die-hard fans said.
"Hehe, so we've seen 27149's true face a long time ago. It's not a big loss not to participate in the mercenary competition!" Some of the girls who had been regretting this were now relieved.
Gu Fei didn't show his face in the guild channel, so some of the girls directly private messaged him.
"Ah, your identity has been exposed!" Liu Xia was somewhat worried for Gu Fei.
"Oh? What do you have to say this time?" Qi Yue seemed to resent Gu Fei's several times of sophistry.
"Alas, it seems that teasing you won't be my exclusive privilege anymore." Luo Luo didn't reveal Gu Fei's intentions, and was vaguely similar to Yu Tian Shen Ming and the others.
"Hmph! Expert, you've been hiding deep enough!" Xi Yao Wu was also saying.
"Qianli, how did you become 27149?" June Rain hasn't figured it out yet!
More of them were the mage girls in the guild, who were asking Gu Fei how to be a melee mage. Gu Fei was overwhelmed and his head was spinning. He finally felt that hiding his identity had its benefits.
You guys come and kill me… Gu Fei said with tears in his eyes. In fact, this was what he wanted.
After tossing around for a long time, he couldn't properly reply to a few messages at all. The competition start time had arrived. The screen turned and a few people had entered the map. Gu Fei's message notification was still constantly prompting him that there were new messages. Han Jia公子 turned his head and glanced at these three depressed guys and ignored them. Looking around, he saw a certain high ground and immediately said to Jian Gui and You Ge: "Go over and take a look."
The two nodded, and the three walked towards the high ground. You Ge was somewhat worried: "If those three guys really don't contribute, this will be a bit troublesome!" Just as he was speaking, Gu Fei had already chased up like a wind, rolling up his sleeves and with a murderous aura: "Are we fighting? Why didn't you call me!"
