Hu Die Lan
Chapter 921 A Group of Four, Continuing
"To be able to achieve this level, it seems there really are a lot of idiots in this world." The Han family scion's congratulations were delivered in the form of disdain, mocking the thousand people who had been forced offline. In his opinion, upon encountering such an attack for the first time, they should have immediately dispersed into smaller groups, which would have only resulted in minor losses. The fact that two teams were rendered helpless and logged off to escape was, in his eyes, utterly foolish.
In any case, since they were looking down on the opponents, everyone was happy to stand on the same side as the Han family scion. No one was foolish enough to speak up in defense of the enemy and invite ridicule.
"Any new information?" Jian Gui asked the Han family scion.
"Their personnel have dispersed and are acting independently. Although their destination is clear, their movements along the way are difficult to track," said the Han family scion.
"So, we can only sit here and wait for them to come to us?" Jian Gui asked.
"For the moment, that's the way it looks," the Han family scion nodded.
"Do you have a list of their personnel?" Gu Fei asked You Ge.
You Ge paused. "I do, but…"
"If you have it, just bring it out!" Xi Yao Wu was even more eager than Gu Fei.
"You're going to teleport again to catch people?" You Ge's tone was extremely complex, partly lamenting the fate of those who would soon be caught, and partly feeling sorry for Gu Fei, who had been flying around with teleport scrolls recently. Although they had all become wealthy, teleport scrolls weren't cheap, and each one was gone after a single use. It was like throwing money down the drain, and these guys never seemed to consider the economic aspect of it. You Ge was deeply impressed.
"I don't have many teleport scrolls left," Gu Fei said, looking around.
"Oh, you don't need to worry about that," Xi Yao Wu said dismissively. The power of the ultimate RMB (renminbi) warrior was immediately revealed. Spending money wasn't a problem, but it had to be spent happily and willingly. Randomly throwing money around wasn't a sign of wealth, but of stupidity.
"Just say where you need scrolls, we have them ready, you can pick them up directly from the mailbox," the Han family scion declared.
"Oh?"
"We arranged it in advance," the Han family scion said, and everyone deeply felt how powerful it was to have a studio as an ally. The intelligence and supply advantages provided by a studio were simply unmatched by ordinary player teams. Although these supplies weren't free either, they were much more convenient. For example, the Han family scion had arranged for Yunteng to prepare teleport scrolls to the main cities along the route, just in case.
You Ge also pulled out a large stack of materials he had compiled. "These are the lists of experts from the main cities who have been active this time. We don't know for sure who the enemies are yet, but once Qian Li receives the mission, it will be easy to tell from the coordinates. It's been so long now, anyone who's our opponent is definitely no longer in their original main city."
"Good, very good." Gu Fei took the stack of lists and immediately pulled out his wanted warrant. The surrounding area fell silent.
"There might be some with PK (player killing) value, but I don't think there will be many…" You Ge said from the side. Even if the opponents had set out with PK value, they had been on the road for three or five hours by now. People with one or two points of PK value would have been automatically cleared, unless they had more PK points, or had killed people along the way. You Ge didn't think there would be many like that.
Sure enough, Gu Fei searched all the names, and everyone was clean. Xi Yao Wu was even more anxious than Gu Fei, asking every five seconds if there was anyone.
"There's one." Gu Fei finally found one and immediately reported the coordinates. You Ge checked and shook his head. "Not him."
"You're so useless," Xi Yao Wu said.
"What does this have to do with me?" Gu Fei said speechlessly, continuing to search frantically. He also said, "You Ge, your list is a bit short, isn't it? There are five hundred people, but I only see twenty or thirty on this page?" You Ge's list represented players from one main city.
You Ge was also helpless. "All I could get were the more famous ones. If you want more, it takes time!"
"Can Yunteng get more detailed information?" Gu Fei asked the Han family scion.
The Han family scion shook his head. The elites from the twenty-six cities were clearly not wage earners of the studio. Even if they usually had dealings with the studio, sometimes acting as mercenaries, it wasn't easy for such a semi-professional studio to directly ask them for information.
"Now that they've all dispersed, it's not easy for the studio to figure out their movements. We can only judge for ourselves based on the distance from the main cities," the Han family scion said.
"I've studied all this, look." You Ge provided another set of data. When the fighting was fierce, You Ge never idled.
This data detailed the routes players from each main city would take to get to Yunduan City, as well as the distances between the cities. Jian Gui took the data to study. Gu Fei couldn't spare the time, and under Xi Yao Wu's urging, he desperately used his wanted warrant.
"Good! This one is definitely him." Gu Fei's eyes lit up. Comparing the coordinates with the previous one that wasn't, Gu Fei could tell that this one, who was far away, was definitely coming for them.
"Let's go!" Xi Yao Wu shouted immediately.
"Wait for me to search the others," Gu Fei said.
"Where are the scrolls?" Xi Yao Wu asked the Han family scion.
"Go to the mailbox to get them, I'll have them sent to you. What are the coordinates?" The Han family scion's last question was for Gu Fei, obviously to find the closest teleportation point.
Gu Fei reported the coordinates and was immediately dragged out the door by Xi Yao Wu. "You can search while we walk."
"Sis Xi, what about us?" Yu Tian Shen Ming asked Jian Gui, pulling him along.
"Let's go! There are still two spots, don't waste them!" Xi Yao Wu called out.
"Let's go." Yu Tian Shen Ming vowed to get his name on the cast list.
The four-person team set off again. You Ge watched from behind, feeling sorry for them. If they only found one name on that page, spending several thousand gold to buy round-trip scrolls for just one person, was it worth it? You Ge felt that spending a thousand gold would be enough to hire a mercenary团 to kill that guy. Unfortunately, Qian Li and Xi Yao Wu probably wouldn't want that economical method. They just wanted the process.
The four-person team acted quickly and soon arrived at the mailbox. The teleport scrolls that the Han family scion had arranged were already there. Gu Fei was reviewing his actions. "I was stupid before! We should have done this when they dispersed. Why did we fly back?"
"Can you hurry up!" Xi Yao Wu had already used the scroll.
"What's the rush?" Gu Fei calmly walked into the teleport.
"If you dawdle, by the time we solve this, everyone else's PK will be gone!" Xi Yao Wu said. As she spoke, the four of them had already teleported.
"Coordinates xxx, xxx." Gu Fei reported the coordinates. Jian Gui led the way. Jian Gui was the most skilled at navigating by coordinates. He changed directions according to the coordinates Gu Fei provided, and the team moved quickly.
Gu Fei didn't waste time along the way. He searched through You Ge's large pile of lists, but the results were disappointing. Some places had no targets at all, and others had only one or at most three.
"Getting close!" Gu Fei finished searching through the lists, and they finally approached their target. This journey had taken them more than half an hour. There was no way around it. The scrolls they had only got them this close. Studios couldn't have people everywhere with scrolls on hand. Even if they could, the scrolls still had to be prepared with the coordinates and then sent. In short, it took time, and it was impossible to be perfect.
"That's him!" Gu Fei had the mission, and only he could see the mission number carried by the mission character.
"Not bad. If it's always like this, it's not a wasted trip," Xi Yao Wu said happily. The reason was that the other party wasn't alone. The team had about twelve or thirteen people with him. Obviously, the other team of five hundred didn't have to disperse into five hundred individual, they just formed small teams so they wouldn't be too conspicuous, and they wouldn't be lonely along the way.
"Go!" The four rushed forward quickly. Along the way, Jian Gui was still reminding them: "In this situation, everyone should distribute the PK value evenly, don't snatch it."
The other three understood what Jian Gui meant. If someone was too outstanding and killed ten people on their own, they would have to wash their PK value after only three kills. If everyone shared the PK value evenly, the four of them would have more than 100 kill slots in total, which would last a long time.
"I'm talking to you, pay attention." Xi Yao Wu added for Jian Gui, emphasizing it to Gu Fei. Every time they teamed up to PK, he always killed most of them, and Xi Yao Wu had always been resentful about this.
"I know." Gu Fei said helplessly.
Anyone who could get on You Ge's list had to be a celebrity in the main city. At this time, the eleven-person team was led by this target celebrity. Traveling was very lonely, and the eleven people were talking and laughing to pass the time. At first, they didn't pay much attention to the four people running towards them. There were many players running around on the main roads of the leveling area, nothing was surprising.
But as the distance narrowed, everyone gradually felt something was wrong. Among the four, there was one in a black robe, who should be a mage or a priest. Only one person in the game at the moment was running so fast in that kind of profession.
"Qian Li Zui?" The eleven people suddenly started looking at each other. Taking a closer look, to the left and right of the black-robed mage were a red-clothed female thief, a black-clothed assassin, and an archer. Wasn't this the team that had attacked their two teams before?
The eleven people immediately lost their fighting spirit. This was a group that had forced five hundred people offline, where did they have the confidence to fight? The thieves and archers in the team really wanted to run, but the warriors, mages, and priests in the team didn't say anything, and they were embarrassed to run. They were hoping that someone in the team would realize the situation and shout "Those who can run, run", but what they got was a "Can't run anymore, let's fight".
The thieves and archers were in tears. But they were good brothers who usually called each other brothers, and they couldn't bear to run away alone. Fine, they would die! The thieves and archers wiped away their tears and joined the other short-legged brothers to meet their deaths.
