Hu Die Lan
Chapter 966 Elder and Junior
Yongyuan's mood was very complicated at this time. After resurrecting, he squatted in the resurrection point for a long time. It wasn't that he was afraid of ambushes or pursuits, but the conversation with Feichang Ni Tian left him feeling very uncomfortable. He thought he could face everything calmly, but he found that even in the depths of his heart, he despised his own actions. This made him feel very embarrassed. He began to reminisce about his gaming career while blankly staring in the resurrection point, lost in thought for a long time. After all, he was an old player, and his gaming career was very long.
On the Cloudrise City side, the attacks by the major guilds had achieved extraordinary gains. Relatively speaking, the battle on Feichang Ni Tian's side was the most suspenseful and tense, but the losses were the smallest. This was entirely determined by the combat style. The other guilds used a sea of people, and while there was no doubt they could eliminate those elite equipped experts, it was done by piling up lives. Those who ultimately survived and picked up one or two pieces of equipment that dropped were naturally lucky ones blessed by the heavens. As for how to distribute this equipment, that was the guilds' own business, and it would inevitably lead to many grudges, but as for the task of cracking down on the studio, it had been successfully completed.
The bosses of the studios were ashen-faced at this time. As of now, the two mercenary teams each of them had sent out had been completely annihilated, with not a single person returning alive.
The dropped equipment was bearable for these wealthy bosses, but it meant that their plans had been completely disrupted. What should they do next? Everyone stared blankly at Gaishi Qiying.
Gaishi Qiying's expression also changed several times. When he first heard that the players of Cloudrise City had launched such an attack, he thought the opportunity to stir up trouble had come. But later, the scouts reported that the Cloudrise City players were only targeting the mercenary teams of their studios, while the real players of the Twenty-Six Guilds were still stationed near the Clock Tower and had not made any move. The two sides they wanted to provoke a conflict between had not had any direct conflict.
Gaishi Qiying didn't even pay attention to these things at the time, because Yongyuan's Eagle Squad had encountered Feichang Ni Tian, which he thought was an opportunity. Because he had Chen Qiyi, this secret expert, he quickly sent Chen Qiyi over, wanting to take this opportunity to kill Feichang Ni Tian once.
As a result, just now, Gaishi Qiying received the news that Yongyuan's team had been wiped out, and Chen Qiyi had actually fled in panic after fighting with Qianli Yizui, who had rushed online. Moreover, according to the Eagle Squad subordinates who sent the message, it sounded like Chen Qiyi and Qianli Yizui had some kind of connection.
This made Gaishi Qiying want to be depressed. Chen Qiyi was his trump card, a trump card to restrain the major studios, a trump card to eliminate Feichang Ni Tian, and a trump card to suppress Qianli Yizui in one-on-one battles. But the result was that he was so fragile, which greatly disappointed Gaishi Qiying. He sent a message to Chen Qiyi to ask about the situation, but he hadn't received a reply yet.
Chen Qiyi was running wildly all the way, and didn't even bother to look at any messages. If it was a pure kung fu competition with Gu Fei, he wouldn't have run so quickly, but Gu Fei's meaning was already clear: a pure kung fu match was possible, but definitely not now. Everyone still had their own teams, and if you came to cause trouble, then I'll kill you with magic...
Magic... Chen Qiyi really wanted to vomit blood when he thought of this. This thing that didn't exist in reality just happened to restrain his highly skilled Tai Chi kung fu. Using other kung fu styles was enough to deal with ordinary players, but it was just a mess in front of professionals like Gu Fei. You should know that there's a common saying in martial arts: it's easy to practice boxing, but it's difficult to change strength. Tai Chi chuan even has the saying that it takes three years to practice boxing and one lifetime to find strength. Chen Qiyi specialized in Tai Chi, and his other kung fu skills were just casual moves that couldn't be shown off. Those who could achieve the combination of internal and external training like internal martial arts and external martial arts were all martial arts geniuses. There was only one such person in the world, and that was the opponent in front of Chen Qiyi. To be honest, even if Chen Qiyi were to use Tai Chi push hands with Gu Fei, he wasn't confident that he could win, let alone the fact that that guy would also use magic...
But then again, just being an opponent wouldn't have made Chen Qiyi run away without even saying hello. He really had an unspeakable secret! He would explain later.
Chen Qiyi thought like this, running non-stop, circling around countless times. He didn't even know where he was running. Anyway, he hadn't seen Gu Fei appear behind him all the way. Now that he had run to a sparsely populated place, Chen Qiyi finally stopped to catch his breath. He still had messages flashing!
"Grandson!" Just as he leaned against the wall, he heard someone call out. Chen Qiyi had already sensed that someone was there. Just from this address, he already knew who it was. He coughed loudly against the wall twice, turned his head, and sure enough, it was Gu Fei.
"Who are you calling!" Chen Qiyi said.
"Aren't you Chen Qiyi? Come here and meet your great-granduncle." Gu Fei said.
"You, you, you..." Chen Qiyi "you"-ed for a long time but didn't dare to say "you granduncle." A well-educated person wouldn't lose his composure no matter what environment he was in, even in a game.
Now that he had been caught up, Chen Qiyi knew that he couldn't escape anymore. He took the initiative to step forward to pay his respects.
"Spare you the formalities." Gu Fei waved his hand dashingly, and Chen Qiyi didn't perform a grand salute, but a small courtesy was still necessary. At the end, he took off his mask and said, "Hello, Fourth Uncle!"
Tell me, how could this not make Chen Qiyi run? The moment he and Qianli Yizui met, he had already secretly called out that things were bad when he saw that the person flying down from the roof was actually Gu Fei. If he had known that Qianli Yizui was actually Gu Fei, he would have found a way to avoid this. But at that time, they were already facing each other, so he had no choice but to engage in battle. At that time, he didn't dare to say a word, fearing that his identity would be seen through.
If his identity wasn't revealed, he could still pretend to be confused. But if it was revealed, he would have to step forward to pay his respects. If he wasn't polite, wouldn't he have to kneel?
In fact, they would usually be polite one hundred percent of the time. Although the seniority couldn't be messed up, everyone was the same age after all, so they would avoid it if they could, so as not to embarrass each other. But in the face of that kind of hostile situation, Chen Qiyi was very worried that Gu Fei would deliberately be impolite and put on a long face to act like an elder.
At that time, with the two armies facing each other and everyone watching, if the other side's commander-in-chief came on the scene, he would kneel directly without even fighting, kneel directly! Kneel directly!!!
In this situation, anyone would have to run.
Now that there was no one watching, kneeling was fine, but Gu Fei was just habitually polite, wasn't he? Chen Qiyi was still thinking, if it was that situation at the time, and his identity was exposed, would this guy be polite or pretend to be confused?
Gu Fei looked at the person in front of him and grinned, "Your son is doing well, right?"
"He's doing great, full of energy," Chen Qiyi said.
"You're really something, using your own son's name as a pseudonym when playing games?"
"Hey..." Chen Qiyi chuckled foolishly, his face full of the happiness and intoxication of being a father. This guy's real name was Chen Zizhang. He was one generation lower than Gu Fei, but they were about the same age, and he was already married. His son was now three years old, and his son's name was Chen Qiyi.
"What are you doing working with the studio?" Gu Fei asked.
"Nothing much." Chen Zizhang said simply, and Gu Fei understood. These were things he once had the opportunity to experience, and what Baishi Jinglun was experiencing now was being invited by the studio to develop efficient leveling methods! Chen Zizhang thought there was a chance to earn money for milk powder out of thin air, so he didn't pay much attention to it and just accepted it. Honestly, there wasn't anything to pay attention to. Gu Fei didn't like Yingqi Studio, but they were also legitimate businessmen. They didn't steal or rob, they just had more methods. But it seemed that after the last failed cooperation with Gu Fei, they hadn't played any tricks this time, and the treatment they offered Chen Qiyi was quite generous.
The Chen family was also a prominent family. Although they weren't as big as the Gu family, they weren't as tight-fisted as the Baishi Jinglun family. But after all, martial arts was a very expensive activity. Chen Zizhang wanted to cultivate his son Chen Qiyi as well, so Chen Qiyi's "milk powder money" wasn't ordinary "milk powder money." So when he found out that there was a chance to earn money while playing this game, Chen Zizhang didn't stand on ceremony.
"What should I do now, should I call you Little Qiyi or Zizhang?" Gu Fei asked.
"Call me Zizhang!" Chen Ziyi said quickly. Using the name Chen Qiyi was nothing to others, but to Gu Fei, it was like calling him a grandson. Being a generation lower than this peer was already depressing enough, and now being two generations lower would be even more depressing. Chen Qiyi was now regretting it. If he had known that he would meet this great hero in the game, he wouldn't have used his son's name as a pseudonym.
"Oh, the boss is calling me, I have to go back." Chen Zizhang looked at the message at this time. Gaishi Qiying was asking questions!
"What are you going to say when you get back?" Gu Fei asked.
"What else can I say? I ran into a relative, and an elder at that, so I couldn't do anything..." Chen Zizhang said depressingly.
"Even if you could do something, you wouldn't be able to. I think you should emphasize this point," Gu Fei said.
"..."
"Alright, go ahead. If you follow the studio to make a move again, it'll be the same. I'll kill you with magic. Let's let it go this time, for the sake of you using Little Qiyi's name," Gu Fei said.
"Then I thank you, old man!" Chen Zizhang said with a smile. In fact, they were peers after all, and young, so they wouldn't take seniority too seriously. Like Chen Zizhang's "old man" now, it wasn't a term of respect, but a jab at Gu Fei. Becoming an elder among peers wasn't necessarily something to be proud of. Take gathering for a meal, for example. Chen Zizhang and his friends would definitely be at a table mainly for young people, while Gu Fei, on the other hand, often had a table full of white-bearded old men. Chen Zizhang would rather not have such glory.
