Chapter 241 The Most Disunited Collective

"How many more rounds of the competition are there?" Gu Fei suddenly asked. The wanted missions were becoming increasingly unrewarding for him; the players in the competition were of a higher level, and they were getting higher and higher as it progressed. Gu Fei sincerely hoped that the competition would never end and could continue indefinitely.

Unfortunately, the answer was harsh. You Ge quickly replied, "Cloud Piercer City has already reached the top 16!"

"Top 16? That means there are only four more matches!" Gu Fei calculated with his fingers, his tone unable to hide his regret.

"Speaking of which, why exactly 16? Why not 17, 15, or some other number that doesn't neatly produce a winner in the end?" Yu Tian Shen Ming asked.

You Ge smiled. "In the first four or five rounds, some guilds or mercenary groups will get a 'bye.' That's the system adjusting the total number, gradually moving towards the 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 sequence of powers of 2. The system has already thought of the situation you described."

"Four more rounds!" Everyone had their own thoughts. Gu Fei felt regret that there would be no more opportunities for this kind of PK, while the others regretted that they hadn't had much of a chance to show off their skills in this competition. Speaking of which, although Gu Fei's display of skill had resulted in a large guild chasing him with city-wide advertisements, making it seem like a hilarious farce, countless experts secretly longed for this kind of recognition. Gu Fei had already achieved it before them, while they… still needed to work harder.

"Today, let's show them our strength!" The group suddenly said in unison. Especially Yu Tian Shen Ming and Zhan Wu Shang, who had just upgraded their equipment, were full of confidence.

Just as the Young Master Elite Team was preparing their equipment for today's competition, Gu Fei's students had contacted their guild leader, A Fa, the student who had led Gu Fei to Parallel World and given him the mage identity that Gu Fei had long resented.

"A Fa! A Fa!" Several students spotted A Fa's figure on the street and immediately shouted.

"Hey, how many times have I told you? Don't call me by my real name in the game. You have to call me by my character name!" A Fa was a game fanatic whose dream was to create an epic ID like Jian Gui or Yu Tian Shen Ming, which would elicit a gasp of "Oh!" when people heard it.

Several students composed themselves, and one smiled. "If we call you by your character name, aren't you still A Fa?"

"You have to say the full name, Qian Jun Yi Fa!!!" A Fa said seriously.

"Four characters are too cumbersome. How about Yi Fa?" one student suggested.

"Just call me A Fa…" Qian Jun Yi Fa was defeated, accepting his fate of always being "A Fa."

"What's the rush? Did someone bully you again?" A Fa asked spiritedly after the name topic ended. These were all his classmates. In class, A Fa was just an inconspicuous ordinary student, but in the game, he was the boss. The main reason… was that he had managed to get an account that was very difficult to get during the open beta.

Later, after the official launch, the main city could be chosen, and the classmates would naturally choose to gather in one place. Since A Fa had already taken the lead, everyone ran to Cloud Piercer City. Therefore, Gu Fei's encounter with his students was an accident contained within inevitability.

"No one bullied us. We just bullied a guy who was stealing monsters!" one student replied triumphantly. It was student number 19857, who should have been sent to jail by Gu Fei.

"Then what is it?" A Fa asked.

"Guess who we just saw?" one student excitedly grabbed A Fa and shook him.

"Wu Shi Zhi Jian? He's the leader of the largest guild in Cloud Piercer City, but you don't have to be so excited, do you?" A Fa said.

"No, it's Teacher Gu! Teacher Gu Fei!" the student announced loudly, fearing that A Fa wouldn't immediately recognize who Teacher Gu was, so he even said the name.

A Fa laughed as soon as he heard it. "Hey, I thought it was something! What's the big deal? I'm the one who gave Teacher Gu his account!"

"What? You did? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Several students widened their eyes.

"Teacher Gu told me not to tell anyone! But now that you've run into him, it doesn't matter!" A Fa said.

"Then why didn't you pull the teacher into the guild?" the students asked.

"Well, the teacher has his own guild, right?" A Fa said.

"What guild?" everyone asked.

A Fa immediately couldn't answer. He stammered for a long time, eliciting a burst of laughter from the students. "Ha, I thought you were very familiar with the teacher. It turns out you don't know anything!"

A Fa was speechless. He had originally wanted to use the opportunity to play the game together to get closer to the teacher. But on the first day, he ran off with that self-disciplined game worker, and in the end, he didn't dig up any information and didn't even add Gu Fei as a friend.

Although he knew Gu Fei's name, he couldn't do anything if the friend request was turned off. Later, he went to class once to get close to the teacher, but Gu Fei reprimanded him with a straight face. After that, A Fa and Gu Fei played their own games. Although they were in the same main city, they never interacted.

After the official launch, many students poured into the game and came to Cloud Piercer City. A Fa simply bled heavily, spending all his savings during the open beta, and even sold a lot of equipment he was using, and formed a guild called Ultimate Class Three, pulling all the students into his guild.

But what frustrated him was that in his Ultimate Class Three, the class monitor was still called the class monitor by the students. And he, the dignified guild leader, was still the little A Fa who was bossed around. It wasn't until he stood up for the students and beat up some newbies a few times, and then helped everyone solve some Bosses that they couldn't solve, that the students gradually looked at him differently. So he became even busier.

"A Fa, I can't handle this monster! Come and help!"

"A Fa, I'm lost, come pick me up!"

"A Fa, I'm short 5 gold coins! Send it to me on Trade Street Two!"

"A Fa, I was killed, avenge me!"

A Fa lived in such a noisy call all day long, but finally felt that his value was reflected. After all, everyone was in the same class, and they still sat together for classes every day! Suddenly, at night, in the game, they followed behind him and became timid younger brothers. A Fa could only imagine this in his dreams. How could it really become a reality?

A Fa was such a nanny-like guild leader, but he was having a lot of fun and had long forgotten Gu Fei. Now that the students were asking these questions about Gu Fei, he certainly couldn't answer them. He and Gu Fei had no intersection at all!

"We have to pull the teacher into our guild!" one student said.

"Let's tell everyone the news first!" As he spoke, this student was sending messages in the guild channel. Ultimate Class Three had a total of 21 guild members. The number was not large. All of them were students in the third class of the second grade of Yulin High School. Although the average level of everyone was not as good as the guilds like Rebirth Purple Crystal, when it came to unity and cohesion, no guild could compare. These were all friends in real life, and only the student group could easily gather so many people.

And at this time, Gu Fei was facing the most disunited collective.

Just as You Ge's intelligence and Young Master Han's analysis had said, the Yun Xiang Mercenary Corps was very disunited. The first place this disunity was reflected was that all 80 members of the mercenary corps had actually arrived. Until now, no guild or mercenary corps of this scale had been able to attend with perfect attendance. And the perfect attendance of the Yun Xiang Mercenary Corps was actually a reflection of a selfish mentality. Because the members of their mercenary corps were fighting for themselves, without considering the victory or defeat of the group. Under this mentality, everyone would not miss the competition. This kind of morbid unity was truly a great irony.

The competition had already begun at this time, and the Young Master Elite Team of six people entered the map. Young Master Han still had to climb high to get a bird's-eye view of the whole situation.

On a small hill that could already be called "majestic" in the entire map, six people stood against the wind. Looking down, they could already see the 80 members of the other party scattered across the map like a tide, searching for their opponents.

"Well, it's not completely disunited. Look, there is still some local unity." Young Master Han pointed out the country while holding an empty wine bottle that he had just finished drinking.

As he said, the players from various guilds in the Yun Xiang Mercenary Corps had formed more than a dozen teams based on their origins. The number of people varied, and they were spreading out on the map.

"Let's see which group finds us first!" Yu Tian Shen Ming wiped the Howl of Sniping that he had just purchased. This would be the first shot it fired in PK, and Yu Tian Shen Ming decided to have a beautiful memory.

"Are we standing too arrogantly? Will all 80 people come over together soon?" You Ge said.

"There will be some earlier and some later, look!" Zhan Wu Shang pointed his hand.

Jian Gui nodded. "That group of people seems to be the first to arrive." Zhan Wu Shang was referring to a group of five people whose speed of advance was very impressive, and the direction of advance was exactly the hill where the six people were standing.

"Everyone, move quickly. Since they are fighting on their own and coming one after another, if everything goes smoothly, we can just eat them one group at a time." Young Master Han said.

"Don't worry!" Gu Fei had already drawn his sword.

In the blink of an eye, the other five people had also arrived at the foot of the hill. Yu Tian Shen Ming was not in a hurry to shoot arrows at the five people, and waved kindly to the five people with a smile.

No one expected that the five people would just glance at the six people, turn around, and head in another direction.

"What's going on?" the six people looked at each other.

"This… they seem to have mistaken us for their own people!" Gu Fei said.

"This mercenary corps, the disunity is really too terrible!" Everyone sighed.
