Chapter 1 The First Wave

A total of twenty thieves were sent out in the first wave by倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua), but they were eliminated one after another by the Lin Yin players' squads. With only three left, 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) called on the mercenary团长 (tuanzhang, heads) to send more men. Of course, the 团长 (tuanzhang) all realized that this was a suicide mission, and they began to shirk their responsibilities, claiming that all the thieves in their mercenary团 (tuan, groups) were dead.

倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) clearly saw that there were still thieves in the mercenary队伍 (duiwu, teams), but when he went up to personally command them, the thieves insisted on waiting for their 团长 (tuanzhang)'s orders. When he went to find the 团长 (tuanzhang), the 团长 (tuanzhang) told him that all the thieves were already dead. This was just another example of the disharmonious drawbacks of their rotten team. Just as 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) was sighing at the decline of morality and the dog-eat-dog world, a highly qualified mercenary flashed in front of him.

But when 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) saw these mercenaries who volunteered, he felt even more pain, because these mercenaries were so qualified that they would ask for money as soon as they helped him with any work...

Han Jia Gong Zi approached 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Don't you need us?"

"You, you only have one thief, what can you do?" 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) rolled his eyes.

"Of course, we're here to do great things." Han Jia Gong Zi smiled and said, "How about we give those guys a head-on blow?"

"Will it work?" 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) was skeptical. He didn't doubt the strength of the Gongzi elite团 (tuan, group), but in this special environment, playing this ghost-like guerrilla warfare with the Lin Yin players, most people were not confident, and 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) was one of them.

"If it doesn't work, we won't get the mercenary fee, what do you lose?" Han Jia Gong Zi said.

"What's the price this time?" 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) asked.

"Thirty gold coins for each person eliminated," Han Jia Gong Zi said.

"How can that work? How am I supposed to know how many people you've killed?" 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) said.

"You can follow us!" Han Jia Gong Zi invited.

"Just keep your eyes open and count, you don't have to do anything," Han Jia Gong Zi said.

"Like that..." 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) was obviously tempted, and after thinking about it, he made a decision on the spot: "It's settled then."

"Wait for us over there, we'll be right there." Han Jia Gong Zi casually pointed to a place and went to gather his men. Not long after, 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) saw the guys from the Gongzi elite团 (tuan, group) walking over extremely lazily, discussing this mission.

"30 gold coins for killing one person? An ordinary 'Teach Paki a Lesson' mission is more than that!" You Ge said. "Teach Paki a Lesson" was an exclusive code word in Cloud City, referring specifically to assassination missions of the hired PK type.

"30 for killing one, 300 for ten. Those guys earn three hundred each just for being mops, this is discrimination against us!" Zhan Wu Shang said.

"You can't say that," Yu Tian Shen Ming said, "They're considered to be famous after being mops once, so their appearance fee is naturally higher."

"Hahahaha..." The few of them laughed. Only Jian Gui had the serious attitude of someone going to carry out an important mission. Gu Fei on the other side looked quite depressed, and after a long time, he raised his head and muttered, "When can I go offline today?"

"Why are you always thinking about going offline! No ambition." Someone next to him rebuked Gu Fei; it was Xi Yao Wu.

"This is a big deal, a rare opportunity, Lao Di (Old Brother) Qian Li doesn't seem to be in good spirits! But this is a good thing for us." The person who spoke was actually Piao Liu, with Zuo Shou Xie Ai and You Shou Xie Shuai standing on either side as helpers.

"Damn it, this is a real battle, not picking up girls, everyone be serious!" Someone was also lecturing as they walked, accompanied by constant hissing, naturally Ying Zuka Yue Zai and his gang of unreliable brothers...

"What is this..." 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) was at a loss.

"Oh, I just mentioned it when I got back, and I didn't expect so many people to be interested in this gold farming mission, so everyone came." Han Jia Gong Zi explained, and other players besides these teams were also gathering around.

Gold farming mission... 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) was dazed. He felt like he had unknowingly fallen into another trap. Looking at these mercenary players who were half-dead when he was instructing them, but now each of them was full of energy, 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua)'s heart was broken.

"By the way, if you want to confirm the number of people, you probably won't be able to handle it alone, call a few more people to keep an eye on them!" Han Jia Gong Zi seemed to be kindly reminding 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua).

"Well, it's best to have a牧师 (mushi, priest) on my side." Piao Liu nodded. Obviously, they had already learned about the operation of this mission from Han Jia Gong Zi.

"Give us a few pretty girls!!!" Ying Zuka Yue Zai's brothers shouted.

"Would I use this method to cheat you out of your few lousy coins?" Xi Yao Wu glared. Obviously, she was planning to act alone and didn't want a follower by her side.

"Let's have an archer here!"

"Give us a 牧师 (mushi, priest)."

"We also want a 牧师 (mushi, priest), a female one..."

The shouting continued, 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) was in tears, but supervisors had to be sent. Otherwise, with the quality of these guys, they would probably say that they had wiped out the entire guild when they came back...

After assigning the supervisors, the players shouted, "Go, make a fortune!" and disappeared into the forest in different directions. 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua)'s face was as ugly as a piece of bark.

At this time, the first contact battle broke out in the southwest direction. The shouts were only a few quick sounds before disappearing immediately. Obviously, the two sides had quickly turned to insidious hide-and-seek sneak attacks. Shouting and screaming in this kind of battle was of course suicide. The forest maintained its silence, and battles broke out one after another in silence. Occasionally, the sound of weapons colliding could be heard, or a flash of magic fire could be seen.

This scene was extremely eerie. Everyone knew that several battlefields had opened up near them, but there was not a single sound that a battlefield should have. Was this how PK between Lin Yin City players usually happened, so quietly?

The only ones who acted carelessly were the Gongzi elite团 (tuan, group).

The six guys strolled arrogantly through the forest, talking loudly, and occasionally making fun of 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua), who was walking with them.

倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua)'s mood was really contradictory. He really hoped that a fierce sneak attack would come out and burn these six guys to ashes, but he was traveling with them. If they died, he was afraid that he wouldn't survive either. Just as he was feeling upset, Gu Fei suddenly said in a deep voice, "Someone!"

Then he turned and pointed in a certain direction, and a chant disappeared.

There was indeed someone hiding behind the tree, who had just stretched his neck to peek at the situation, but was immediately noticed by Gu Fei. But he only heard Gu Fei shout "Someone!", and didn't know that he was talking about himself. While he was still thinking about which guy had exposed himself, Gu Fei had already teleported to his diagonal rear. The poor guy was still hiding behind the tree carefully! Gu Fei, who was anxious to go offline, didn't bother to waste time, and directly chopped the man down from behind without even saying hello.

At the same time, because of this large displacement, Gu Fei had already caught sight of two other guys hiding behind the trees. However, these two also saw Gu Fei at the same time. As a result, their first reaction was not to seize the opportunity to attack, but to choose to hide! The two of them shrank their necks and twisted their bodies, and went behind the tree where Gu Fei could no longer see them.

But the Cloud City Mage players have always been throwing spells randomly without seeing the enemy, and Gu Fei has also been educated. At this time, he pointed his sword to the left and chanted, then pointed to the right and chanted again, throwing a Heavenly Fire Wheel and a Fire Tree Thousand Flame respectively, and then circled out from behind the tree.

"How is it?" Jian Gui and the others asked.

"No mana left," Gu Fei said.

"Who asked you that!" Everyone despised him.

Before the words were finished, Gu Fei's super slow spells had already erupted on both ends one after another. Not to mention that the opponents didn't see Gu Fei throwing spells to both sides, even if they did see it, they wouldn't dodge. Because one spell can't kill people, so they just grit their teeth and hold on, this is the habit that Lin Yin players have formed to hide themselves.

Unfortunately, this time they met Gu Fei, and they were thieves, lurkers, or mages, none of whom were thick-blooded. There were not many who could withstand a big spell from Gu Fei. Gu Fei nodded at this time and said to 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua), "Five of them."

"How do you know!" Although 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) was standing here, he didn't see anything. Similarly, he thought that Gu Fei just threw spells, and didn't actually see anything.

"Because the PK value has increased..." Gu Fei told him, he thought 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) was really inexperienced.

Before 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) could reply, Gu Fei suddenly reached into his pocket and waved his hands to the left and right, throwing out two small daggers, and two thieves were thus revealed. Jian Gui, You Ge; Zhan Wu Shang, Yu Tian Shen Ming, the two of them chose one each to attack, accurately and skillfully. The thieves who had been revealed had no time to hide back in the forest.

"Two more," Han Jia Gong Zi announced before the others even died.

"I... does it count if I didn't see them?" 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) mustered up his courage and said this. The mercenary团 (tuan, group) was working for them, and excessive distrust really hindered unity. 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua) no longer doubted the ability of the Gongzi elite团 (tuan, group) to complete the mission, but he doubted whether these guys would be honest in the process. He felt that he had to strictly demand these cunning guys. For example, Gu Fei judged that he had killed five people based on the increase in PK value, but maybe there were only two or three?

Han Jia Gong Zi flicked his hand and cast a healing spell on one of the thieves, and then signaled the two attacking guys not to kill him for the time being.

"How many people have you killed?" Han Jia Gong Zi asked the thief.

"Five..." the thief replied casually, obviously he didn't think this was something that needed to be kept secret.

Han Jia Gong Zi shrugged at 倒影年华 (Dao Ying Nian Hua): "Look, there's a witness."
