Chapter 53 You Can Forget About Resurrection Purple Crystal

Gu Fei remained expressionless and said in the channel, "You can forget about Resurrection Purple Crystal. Everlasting Life Among Flowers can guarantee you two positions. I'll go make the arrangements."

"No, no, please don't!!!" Yutian Shenming and Zhan Wushang were terrified. Everlasting Life Among Flowers was also quite famous now. Many players knew it was a guild full of perverts. Now, if you were trying to pick up girls and mentioned Everlasting Life Among Flowers, the girls wouldn't even greet you, they'd run away. Isn't that why people like to keep a low profile now? Everlasting Life Among Flowers was too high-profile, even shouting slogans when picking up girls. How could the girls not be disgusted? Although everyone knew that the goal of flirting with girls was usually the same, you couldn't openly state it, or you'd seem vulgar.

Yutian Shenming and Zhan Wushang naturally didn't want to be associated with vulgarity. Everlasting Life Among Flowers was now a taboo among those who pick up girls. The two of them felt it was unlucky just hearing the name. Gu Fei actually wanted to introduce them to the guild. They wouldn't sleep for three days.

At this moment, You Ge suddenly burst out in the channel, "I can't take it anymore!!!"

"What's wrong? Why can you two suddenly talk in the channel again? Is it just because you're not in the city? But that doesn't make sense. Why does the mercenary channel only belong to outside the city? Can you two use this channel when you're in the city? Also, Young Master, how did you get together with Gu Xiaoshang?" You Ge had been holding this back for a long time.

"Wow, heavy taste!! I didn't expect your taste to be similar to Wuqi Zhi Jian's, Young Master, you're amazing!" Yutian Shenming and Zhan Wushang exclaimed. Gu Xiaoshang was a famous woman in Cloudrise City, known for her strong personality. So, although she was pretty, Wuqi Zhi Jian was said to be her only pursuer. If this were any other girl, even if she were average-looking, she would definitely have more than one pursuer. There's just not enough meat for all the wolves. The male-to-female ratio of online game players is just too unbalanced.

"You're all going to die!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"So, you came to deliver a message to Wuqi Zhi Jian and show off with a girl?" Yutian Shenming suddenly understood, but then said seriously, "Young Master, it seems you're not good at picking up girls! This was handled so immaturely. Why bother? Competing for jealousy like this makes everyone look bad. In the end, everyone else will laugh at you. It's a lose-lose situation!!!"

"Yes, Yutian's right about this. You're immature, Young Master," Zhan Wushang said.

"Yutian Shenming has been expelled from the Young Master Elite Team," the system announced.

The channel fell silent.

"Wushang, what did you just say?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

"Nothing. I said I'm doing pretty well recently. Everyone's doing well, right?" Zhan Wushang said.

The channel continued to be silent. Suddenly, You Ge jumped out and shouted, "I understand!!!"

"The mercenary channel belongs to the guild leader. So, when Young Master belongs to the attacking side, the channel can be used by Young Master, Wushang, Yutian, and me, a third party. Qian Li and Jian Gui can't use it. Now, Qian Li, Jian Gui, and Wushang can all use it. This means the channel belongs to a third party... Young Master, did you leave the guild?" You Ge said.

"You Ge... Isn't everyone concerned about something else right now?" Gu Fei couldn't help but say. Poor Yutian Shenming, who said guilds were boring and wanted to start one with everyone, was kicked out of the mercenary group by Han Jia Gongzi. Now he had nowhere to complain. Gu Fei and Jian Gui were on opposing sides and couldn't communicate. You Ge closed his messages. Zhan Wushang, on the other hand, actively sent messages, mocking him loudly. Yutian Shenming was in tears.

"Yes, I left the guild," Han Jia Gongzi calmly answered You Ge's question.

"Why?" You Ge's curiosity was endless.

"It's boring," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Oh, it seems the big guilds didn't perform well in this city war!" You Ge sighed. Yutian Shenming had also said guilds were boring. Coincidentally, Han Jia Gongzi said the same thing. These two were in the two largest guilds in Cloudrise City. But Yutian Shenming cautiously looked for an interesting outlet first before feeling bored, while Han Jia Gongzi was more carefree, getting rid of the boring things first.

"What are you planning to do?" You Ge asked.

"First, I'll kill those two guys," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Alright, stop wasting time. Wuqi Zhi Jian is just one of our many tasks. Knowing you're guarding him, why should we bother with him? You should go do something more meaningful!" Gu Fei said.

Han Jia Gongzi didn't say anything. Although he didn't know if Gu Fei was telling the truth, since they had the task of killing Wuqi Zhi Jian, Han Jia Gongzi believed that with their personalities, they would rather fail the task than give up at the first sign of difficulty. This kind of rational choice was Jian Nan You's style, not theirs.

"I'm not in a hurry," Han Jia Gongzi sent a message casually.

The channel fell silent. At this time, Gu Fei returned to the vicinity of the main city. After the guild alliance at the north gate dispersed, many guilds left and went to other gates to join the battlefield. They didn't bother with any tricks. They just went to fight. Killing one enemy was a profit, regardless of anything else.

But the large guilds like Across the World and Against the Current stayed at the north gate. This was a rational choice. After all, the guilds here were stronger. Plus, the previous attack, although ultimately defeated, had caused some damage to the system's defensive forces. Everyone felt that the system guards defending the city had obviously decreased. So, many guilds felt it was easier to achieve results by staying here.

However, Across the World was now focused on guarding against Gu Fei and Jian Gui causing trouble. They had temporarily entered a defensive state and had no plans to attack the city. The other large guilds didn't know the inside story. Seeing Across the World's posture, they suspected he was plotting something. So, they also chose to wait and see. The small and medium guilds didn't dare to move since the large guilds didn't move either. Thus, the north gate was peaceful. The players from each guild lazily strolled around the base, not knowing whether the city war was actually going to be fought or not.

The two armies faced each other, separated by a large empty space in the middle. The ground was filled with large and small stones, all thrown down by the siege engines from the city. Just then, two figures suddenly appeared on this empty battlefield, one from the city and one from somewhere outside the city.

Many players saw these two figures and didn't understand what was happening. They saw the one from the city arrive on the battlefield, walking around as if picking up something. The one from outside the city, facing tens of thousands of people on both sides, walked calmly and unhurriedly on his path.

The siege engines didn't move!

Everyone widened their eyes, waiting for the siege engines to blast this person into a pancake. Who knew that after he stepped into the range of the siege engines, the siege engines on the city didn't move at all.

Some players were overjoyed. Could it be that the siege engines were undergoing a super-long cooldown? Thinking this, they also stepped into the battlefield to try it out. A boulder flew through the air. The player rolled and crawled to dodge it, barely avoiding being buried by the mud and sand kicked up by the boulder's landing. Looking back at that player, he was still oblivious to his surroundings, even seeming to give them a look of sympathy.

Everyone was stunned, watching as this person walked towards the city gate, even stopping to chat with the figure who came out of the city.

"Xiao Lei, what are you doing again?" When Gu Fei saw Xiao Lei, he had a large basket on his back and was picking up stones on the battlefield with a sad face.

Xiao Lei looked miserable. "This time, the task is to clear the battlefield..."

Those large stones were easy to handle. Gu Fei pointed at those boulders. "Do you have to clear those too?"

"I don't know. I'll just pick up some small ones to hand in first," Xiao Lei picked up a stone and threw it into the basket behind him, acting like a coolie.

"Logistics is like that," Gu Fei patted him, comforting him.

"What's your task this time?" Xiao Lei asked Gu Fei.

"I'll only know when I go back."

"Oh, then you go ahead."

The two exchanged a few words on the battlefield amidst the tens of thousands of troops and went their separate ways. Gu Fei entered the city. As the stones in the basket behind him increased, Xiao Lei's steps became more and more unsteady.

Gu Fei hurriedly returned to the City Hall, went to the Guard Corps, and showed the piece of paper he had found in the fireplace to the captain of the Guard Corps, while describing his discovery at the bottom of Lake Yunxiao.

The captain of the Guard Corps didn't say anything for a long time. Gu Fei felt bad. It was possible that he had completed this task incorrectly. This parallel world was actually doing these strange things. They didn't even give a hint, just letting players run around and burn their play time.

Just as Gu Fei was about to give up, he suddenly heard an old voice that seemed like it could die at any moment say, "It's the Water Barrier."

"Who's speaking?" Gu Fei looked around and saw an old man standing in the corner of the Guard Corps room. He was hunched over with a lot of white eyebrows and a white beard. He held a staff that was half a head taller than him. He wore a water-blue mage robe that dragged on the ground, and a pointed magic hat on his head!

"Who are you?" Gu Fei asked, muttering to himself. He didn't seem to have seen this person before.

"I am the Great Magician Austin," the old man introduced himself.

Mage. Gu Fei was used to hearing this job title, but now this person had added the word "great" in front of mage and said he was a magician! Gu Fei immediately thought he was a swindler.

The NPC didn't know Gu Fei's inner thoughts. He paused and said, tapping his staff, "Water barriers also come in many forms. Although this one is simple, its power is extraordinary when set up underwater."

Gu Fei understood that he was actually talking about the layer of film that he couldn't pierce. Anyway, it was just a system setting. What was there to talk about? It was just as powerful as you said it was. Gu Fei was too lazy to listen to what this Great Magician was saying about water magic. He quickly asked, "Then how do I break it?"

"Even the strongest martial force will have its power restricted in the water. If you want to break the Water Barrier in the water, you absolutely cannot do it with strength alone," the Great Magician continued.

Gu Fei didn't know how much more he was going to say, so he simply sat down in a chair and listened to the Great Magician bragging about how water restricted the power of heroes and how the Water Barrier attracted power. He muttered a lot and finally said, "If you want to break the Water Barrier, you must have a skilled water-based mage who can stop the spell's movement."

Gu Fei knew this was the main point, so he quickly stood up. "Then please come with me!" Gu Fei guessed this was another escort mission. He didn't know if this old man would listen to him, otherwise, he didn't have much confidence in sending such a uniquely shaped guy to Lake Yunxiao.

But the Great Magician tapped his staff again and said, "Everyone knows that the Great Magician Austin is a knowledgeable scholar who doesn't know any spells."

"Then what do I do?" Gu Fei asked.

"Go, go find a skilled water-based mage to break the barrier," the Great Magician said.

"Where do I go to find one?" Gu Fei asked anxiously.

The Great Magician pretended to be profound. "Go, hurry and go!"

"..." Speechless, Gu Fei turned to face the captain of the Guard Corps, hoping to get some hints. The captain of the Guard Corps was also full of emotion, looking at Gu Fei and saying, "Please!!"

The system didn't give clear hints. Gu Fei was terrible at gaming! He quickly reported the information to his friends. But at this time, the mercenary channel was once again in an opposing state, so it couldn't be used. Gu Fei realized that the mercenary channel was like private messages and divided by territory. Just like Gu Fei was in the city and couldn't contact You Ge, the third-party comrade outside the city.

So, Gu Fei could only send a single message to Jian Gui and tell him about the task.

"A water-based mage? Do I just need to find a water-based mage?" Jian Gui guessed.

"It's not that simple, right? Even if I find a water-based mage, who knows how to break that barrier? What is the Water Barrier anyway?" Gu Fei said.

"I haven't heard of it either," Jian Gui said.

"Ah, this stupid task... How's it going on your end? Has Wuqi Zhi Jian made any movements?" Gu Fei asked.

"Across the World is really heavily guarded here, a thousand people. There's no chance to attack. I think I can only wait for them to have activities, like during the city siege, when they're scattered, there's a chance."

"Then let's wait a little longer. What's Young Master doing?" Gu Fei asked.

"I think he should be watching somewhere nearby. I'll walk around and take a look."

"Then what do I do about this task?"

"How would I know? I don't even know where to find my Little Bottle Cap!" Jian Gui said. He also had the task of assassinating guild leader Little Bottle Cap from the Assassin Alliance. Because the target was too insignificant, it was very difficult. It could be seen that there were two sides to everything. Wuqi Zhi Jian was difficult to assassinate, but easy to find. A nameless player like this was easy to kill, but hard to find...

"Water Barrier, water-based mage..." Gu Fei sighed. His knowledge was too lacking and he didn't know how to solve it at all. Jian Gui was an assassin. Although he had studied all professions for the sake of PK, he wouldn't go too deep. Yutian Shenming might know more about mages than him, but he couldn't contact him. He originally had a mercenary group, but he was kicked out by Han Jia Gongzi. Even if he wasn't kicked out, he wouldn't dare to say it in the mercenary group! With Han Jia Gongzi watching, who knows what bad ideas he would come up with.

Gu Fei glanced at his friend list. Drifting... He noticed this name. This was undoubtedly a high-end mage player, and he was a water-based mage. He wandered around everywhere. Maybe he didn't join a guild and was a wild man? Gu Fei thought, and quickly left the main city. He tried "ah ah" twice in the mercenary channel to see if the message could go out. When he saw that it could, he quickly sent a message to Drifting, asking, "Do you have a guild?"

Drifting replied very quickly, writing: "How can you send me a message!!"

When Gu Fei saw this content, he immediately understood and asked back, "What faction are you in?"

"Wanderer Association, what about you?"

"Guard Corps. What the heck is that? Can you join by running to more cities?" Gu Fei guessed from the words.

"Who knows? Everything's a mess. As soon as the city war started, the three of us were thrown into the city. There are hundreds of thousands of people outside the city, and we can't even communicate! Is it the same for you?"

"Yes!"

"What are you looking for me for?" Drifting felt that Gu Fei wouldn't be contacting him at this time just because he was bored.

"Asking for advice. Do you know this spell, Water Barrier?" Gu Fei asked.

"Aren't you an electric mage?" Drifting asked.

"I have a task now that requires me to break a Water Barrier. It says I need to find a water-based mage. Do you understand?" Gu Fei asked.

"What kind of barrier?"

"Underwater. I don't know what's in the house. It's soft, can't be pushed open, and knives can't pierce or cut it," Gu Fei said.

"Oh, I know. Hey, this sounds mysterious, but it's actually simple. Isn't the barrier soft and unbreakable? You just need to find a water-based mage with ice magic, cast a spell on the barrier, it will freeze into ice, and then break the ice. The barrier will shatter, it's that simple," Drifting said.

"Will a weapon with freezing effects work?" Gu Fei asked.

"That won't work. That kind of effect is usually just to slow you down a bit. It has to be a spell that almost completely freezes it," Drifting said.

"Who knows this kind of spell? Do you?"

"I don't. Guitong of Xiamu City does," Drifting said.

"Oh... Her... I don't know if it's convenient for her to come," Gu Fei muttered.

"Messages can't even be sent out, how can I contact her?" Drifting sighed.

"She doesn't seem to have a guild," Gu Fei said.

"Yes, so what?" Drifting asked.

"Tch, haven't you ever left the city? You can send messages to third-party players who don't have guilds after you leave the city," Gu Fei despised Drifting.

"Is that so!" Drifting was shocked. He had never left the city. He just blasted people from the top of the city with spells. It was safe and affordable. Why bother rushing out of the city to fight.

"Then, is there something special about these third-party players?" Drifting muttered.

"You can figure it out yourself!" Gu Fei said. If he remembered correctly, Drifting was also an unscrupulous schemer.

After sending a message to Drifting, Gu Fei contacted Guitong: "Do you have a guild?"

"No, what's wrong?" Guitong replied.

"Oh, I have something I need your help with. Is it convenient for you to come to our Cloudrise City? I'll reimburse you for the round-trip tickets," Gu Fei said.

"Oh, okay," Guitong responded.

"You wait," Gu Fei was just outside the city gate at the time. He immediately took two scrolls, set the coordinates, and then went to the mailbox to send both to Guitong. Since he had money, Gu Fei got a lot of teleportation scrolls. He always carried five or eight with him. He was embarrassed to greet Xi Yao Wu without them.

"Sent it, you can get it!" Gu Fei said.

"Okay!" Guitong responded.

Gu Fei waited at the place where he set the coordinates. Before long, he saw a white teleportation array appear beside him. Two figures appeared in the array together.

"Hi~~~" Yan Xiaozhu made a face at Gu Fei.
