Chapter 162 A Happy Occasion

Gu Fei was a complete mess and didn't even know who the culprit was. He couldn't use the mercenary channel in the city right now. But it didn't seem like Han Jia Gongzi was behind it, as the elite members of his group were all offline except for him!

Gu Fei opened his task list and, sure enough, all the tasks he had received in the city war after his death were declared failures, whether it was visiting Jierjinuo or assassinating Wu Shi Zhi Jian. Gu Fei had no choice but to return to the two quest-giving locations to see if the NPCs had anything to say.

Outside the city, the 212 members of Dui Jiu Dang Ge were so excited by the successful assassination of Qian Li Yi Zui that they couldn't calm down for a long time. Guild leader Ni Liu Er Shang was especially thrilled, and he really wanted to share the joy with someone. But when he looked around, Wu Shi Zhi Jian, whose goal was to kill Qian Li Yi Zui, was offline; Gu Xiao Shang was offline. Ni Liu Er Shang swallowed and had to turn around and continue high-fiving his brothers.

While even Ni Liu Er Shang was so overjoyed that he forgot himself, Shan Zi Ling remained calm. He was the first to run to the area where Qian Li Yi Zui had heroically fallen, and carefully searched the ground.

Nothing had dropped on the ground. Shan Zi Ling ran back and grabbed San Shi Li Wai, who was also celebrating, "How's it going? Any progress on the quest?"

"Quest? Oh, right! The quest." San Shi Li Wai also reacted and quickly opened the quest list, but it was still the same message.

"This, do we need to go back and find the NPC again?" San Shi Li Wai guessed.

Ni Liu Er Shang also came back to his senses and began to pay attention to the purpose of their actions. Since San Shi Li Wai had no system prompts and no quest items had dropped on the ground, the team immediately set off towards the Yun Jiao Lakeside. NPC Jierjinuo was stationed here now. To prevent the NPC from getting lost, Ni Liu Er Shang had specially left someone to stay with him!

Along the way, everyone was still immersed in the excitement of killing Qian Li Yi Zui and couldn't extricate themselves. Ni Liu Er Shang vaguely felt a sense of déjà vu. He vaguely remembered that when the guild was first established, he and a few brothers had taken on a guild task. After several people sacrificed themselves, they finally succeeded in killing the Boss and completing the task, and everyone had been just as excited for a long time.

This kind of pure joy had been gone for so long. It turned out that it needed a strong enough opponent to stimulate it! It wasn't that they didn't have opponents usually, but the competition between guild leaders like Wu Shi Zhi Jian and Yun Zhong Mu Di was full of scheming and endless, and even if they gained the upper hand, they didn't have this kind of pleasure. On the other hand, Qian Li Yi Zui, who was like a Boss, gave people a sense of satisfaction after being defeated.

The people of Dui Jiu Dang Ge were energetic and full of laughter all the way, but when they arrived at Yun Jiao Lakeside and found Jierjinuo, a bucket of cold water was poured over their heads.

"Hey, hey, we've already killed Qian Li Yi Zui!! Don't play dumb!!!" San Shi Li Wai couldn't wait to tear Jierjinuo apart.

"What's the use of saying these things to an NPC?" Shan Zi Ling said with a wry smile, maintaining his usual calm, and looked at Ni Liu Er Shang beside him.

Ni Liu Er Shang was now deeply experiencing what it meant to be happy for nothing. Killing Qian Li Yi Zui was certainly happy, but it had to be a purposeful kill to be truly happy. Even if no one had reacted to the quest before, at least everyone had a thought in their hearts, that this kill was very meaningful and very beneficial. But now, the meaning and benefits were all gone. Jierjinuo was just repeating the same things he had said to San Shi Li Wai before, which clearly showed that the quest had made no progress at all.

"How could this be?" Discussions were buzzing in the guild channel.

Ni Liu Er Shang thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Who said this quest was about retrieving something from Qian Li Yi Zui?"

San Shi Li Wai thought about it, and a cold sweat broke out. He hadn't heard any direct prompts from the NPC himself, he had just heard a little bit from Han Jia Gongzi. But Han Jia Gongzi was just using him as bait and cannon fodder, and didn't tell him much. San Shi Li Wai was the most confused quest player in history, and he didn't understand what the quest was all about. He had exchanged a few words with the NPC in a state of fear and trembling, and somehow got the quest. From the information he was now hearing from Jierjinuo, someone had taken away something important from here one step ahead of them, and they had to find it back. There was no evidence that Qian Li Yi Zui had done it.

"Ah, that... how did it go..." San Shi Li Wai stammered, unable to answer. Why did they say it was Qian Li Yi Zui?

"Search around Yun Jiao Lakeside, see if there are any clues, especially near this small wooden house," Ni Liu Er Shang ordered.

More than two hundred people busied themselves, and San Shi Li Wai stood against the wall like a child who had made a mistake, feeling aggrieved.

"The beginning of this quest is still over at the pit. Come on, everyone who knows something, let's sort out the plot of this quest properly." Ni Liu Er Shang directed everyone to work while chatting with everyone in the channel.

The person who knew the quest plot most clearly was undoubtedly the person involved, but Yin Feng, who had previously taken the quest, had already defected from the guild. Ni Liu Er Shang could only piece together the quest plot from the small details known by some people who had worked with him.

Unfortunately, among the people of Dui Jiu Dang Ge, there was neither a quest fanatic like Liu Yue De Yu nor a data fanatic like Gu Ge. They were indifferent to the specific content of the quest. Anyway, the guild arranged for them to guard there, so they only cared about guarding. No one had the leisure to listen to what kind of story the quest was. It was said that this was also a sign of a master! Masters who do quests pursue efficiency and rewards. Who has the time to savor your quest plot? Parallel World is a simulation, and the NPC's dialogue can't be quickly skipped by clicking the mouse like in previous games. Many people are quite annoyed by this, and they avoid it if possible. Now that it's not their turn, why would they go up and inquire about it themselves? How could that be possible!

As a result, Ni Liu Er Shang couldn't piece anything together. On the contrary, he himself, who initially received Yin Feng's report, knew more. But to be ashamed, Ni Liu Er Shang also had the style of a master who didn't pay attention to the quest plot. He listened to Yin Feng's report and let it pass, didn't pay attention to it at all, and now there was no record to check. Many things were blurred, and in the team channel, he vaguely felt that everyone saw that even the guild leader was like this, so it wasn't shameful for them to not know anything, and they even saved the effort of using their brains to imagine.

"Damn it!" In the end, Ni Liu Er Shang couldn't figure out what kind of story this quest was, so he could only vent his anger in the channel: "Everyone pay attention, this city war quest is not ordinary. In the future, when you take on quests, you should all understand the plot clearly. Some things, we have to reason according to the plot, right? Like now, they said something was taken away, and then they said it was Qian Li Yi Zui. No one knows why it was Qian Li Yi Zui. Now that Qian Li Yi Zui has been killed by us, we haven't gotten anything. Isn't this a joke?"

"Then what should we do now, guild leader?" someone asked.

"Search around first, see if there are any clues," Ni Liu Er Shang said.

"I have an idea," Shan Zi Ling suddenly said.

"If you have one, say it quickly!" Ni Liu Er Shang said.

"Aren't we overlooking someone?" Shan Zi Ling said.

"Who?"

"Jian Gui!"

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.

"At the beginning, Jian Gui and Qian Li Yi Zui appeared together to cause trouble at the pit. These two people are friends, and now they are on the same side defending the city. Many actions may be together. If this thing-taking plot is really related to Qian Li Yi Zui, it may not be him, it may be Jian Gui?" Shan Zi Ling said.

"What you said... makes a lot of sense." Ni Liu Er Shang nodded repeatedly.

"Because of Qian Li Yi Zui's excessive power, we all ignored Jian Gui's existence. Think about it, the abandonment of Camp Three. According to the information we inquired about, Qian Li Yi Zui rushed over from other directions at that time. He only stepped on it and performed the offline operation after the camp was abandoned. So the abandonment of that camp has nothing to do with Qian Li Yi Zui, it was done by Jian Gui. Everyone was only concerned with finding where Qian Li Yi Zui was! If someone had paid attention to Jian Gui, the camp might not have been lost," Shan Zi Ling said.

"That's right, it must be Jian Gui!" Everyone said.

"When it comes to PK, Qian Li Yi Zui is definitely the number one in Parallel World now, but when it comes to running quests, he may not be as good as an experienced gamer like Jian Gui. So I said this quest, maybe Jian Gui is the leader, we should be looking for him," Shan Zi Ling concluded logically.

"Looking for people again..." Hearing this conclusion, everyone felt like vomiting.

"Jian Gui is not as difficult to deal with as Qian Li Yi Zui. If he is recognized, I don't think anyone would dare not attack him. We have to act quickly. I think the quests during the city war are very free. For example, if Jian Gui is killed at this time, perhaps the quest items on him will be picked up by the person who killed him. If they are brought here again, it is very likely that the quest will be continued by them."

"You're right! But Jian Gui is also not online now," Ni Liu Er Shang said.

"Wait! Jian Gui is not as difficult as Qian Li Yi Zui. Now we can be sure that we can't get anything useful for the quest from Qian Li Yi Zui for the time being, so we might as well avoid him for now. When Jian Gui comes online, I think the people from Zong Heng Si Hai and Cai Yun Jian will be almost here. Let them deal with Qian Li Yi Zui, and we'll pay more attention to Jian Gui." Shan Zi Ling's thinking was already very mature and thoughtful.

"Okay, let's do it this way!" Ni Liu Er Shang quickly decided, "Everyone didn't rest well last night, so let's all go offline and take a break, get something to eat. It's also a good time to create a time difference with the people from Zong Heng Si Hai and Cai Yun Jian. When they come online, they will naturally organize to deal with Qian Li Yi Zui. Let them compete first, we'll come later, and target Jian Gui."

After casually leaving a few people to continue accompanying Jierjinuo, Ni Liu Er Shang and others withdrew and went offline. This period of time was unusually calm. There were no large-scale siege operations at any of the city gates. As for small-scale harassment, the system didn't even notice it. But just after noon, a large number of players began to enter the game one after another. This rest was not in vain. Some had carefully summarized the experiences and lessons of the day before, some had come up with new ideas in their sleep, and some had learned the combat experience of other main cities from the forums and were ready to try it out. In short, after a large number of players went offline yesterday with their heads down, they were now reinvigorated. For example, dozens of guilds had seen the siege and defense experience posts of Luo Ri City and decided to dig a tunnel into the city, and after gathering their manpower and discussing a few words, they had already begun to build it.

The masters of Gong Zi's elite group also went online one after another. Gu Fei had already left the main city at this time. After the previous death quest failed, Gu Fei went through the quest points again. At the guild building, he couldn't receive Wu Shi Zhi Jian's wanted order, it seemed that the system only gave one chance. Gu Fei had no choice but to switch to Ni Liu Er Shang. But the Guard Squad was as kind as ever. Like the previous quest failure, this quest was re-accepted after this failure, and the content was still the same, continuing to visit Jierjinuo.

Gu Fei had just left the city when he saw Jian Gui and others go online one by one. Gu Fei was very depressed and said in the channel that he had been directly killed at the resurrection point. Everyone naturally ridiculed him. Even Han Jia Gongzi admired: "I didn't even think of such a mean way."

"I'm not talking anymore, I'm going to the quest," Gu Fei said.

So Jian Gui privately messaged Gu Fei: "You said it too explicitly, now everyone knows you're going to the quest, won't Gongzi make arrangements?"

"So, I was lying, I'm not in a hurry to go to the quest, this quest is not time-limited," Gu Fei said.

"..." Jian Gui felt that he was really too kind.

The two, who were not prepared to go to the quest, agreed to meet up, but went straight to the resurrection camp in the northeast direction. After destroying Camp Three in the north direction, the two began to think about this camp at the same time. Now, when they arrived near the northeast camp, they found that the camp was heavily guarded at this time, and many players looked like they were prepared to stay here permanently and had no intention of leaving.

"Today, there seems to be even less chance than yesterday," Gu Fei said.

"Yeah, not to mention the players, even those four guards are troublesome. As soon as you enter the camp, the guards will give a prompt and accurately find you. And the camp occupation prompt will not appear until the guards die. It's too difficult to kill these four soldiers. Now the guild players have also learned from experience, and they won't be fooled by the tricks we used last time," Jian Gui said.

"Yeah, and those four guards are guarding the camp to the death, and they can't be lured out. They'll return after a few steps, and you can't pull them to a place where there's no one to kill them," Gu Fei said.

"Sigh!" The two sighed, and walked around the northeast camp from a distance. On the way, they ran into someone. Gu Fei took a look and found that it was a familiar person, so he didn't avoid him.

"Yo, it's you, what a coincidence!" Gu Fei and Jian Gui ran into Xi Xiao Tian.

"Which guild are you messing around in now?" Gu Fei greeted.

"No guild for the time being," Xi Xiao Tian said, and then asked, "You two, you want to attack this camp again!"

"Of course." Gu Fei didn't hide it, because he and Jian Gui were already prepared to give up. They were really outnumbered, and they couldn't find a chance to attack in the face of the NPC's shameless God's perspective and a large number of cautious players.

"It's very difficult!" Xi Xiao Tian said.

"It's completely impossible to complete." Jian Gui sighed, "If there were as many city defense players as there are city attack players, we could just eat this hard."

"Speaking of which, how did you two become city defense players for no reason?" Xi Xiao Tian asked.

"There's a faction, so we became city defense players," Gu Fei said concisely.

"So... if you want to eat this camp hard, I have an idea!" Xi Xiao Tian said.

"What do you want to do?" Gu Fei asked vigilantly.

"Look at how nervous you are." Xi Xiao Tian smiled, and then looked at Jian Gui, "Jian Gui, you don't have a guild right now, do you?"

"Yeah!" Jian Gui nodded, but after nodding, he reacted and quickly changed his words, "Oh no, I temporarily joined a brother guild in the outer city before the city war. I was originally going to help, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this." Jian Gui hadn't been in a guild for too long, and he had forgotten about it.

"Since that's the case, then it's okay for you to quit the guild, right? You said, if you quit the guild, and then establish one now, what would happen?" Xi Xiao Tian said.

"Establish a guild now?" Gu Fei and Jian Gui repeated in unison.

"Yeah! Why didn't I think of that?" Gu Fei knocked on his head, "I think that in this case, this new guild will most likely belong to the city defense side, so we'll have manpower! Stir it up, and we might be able to take down this camp!"

"This, this..." Jian Gui thought quickly, "I remember that the system for applying to join a guild is closed, but I didn't notice whether you can establish a guild."

"Why not try it?" Gu Fei suggested.

"Building a guild also requires people to respond. Now the whole city is closed, and all the neutral players are in the wild. Where are you going to find people? Even if you find people, the system for applying to join a guild is closed now, how will they respond?" Jian Gui had a lot of doubts.

"Oh? There are these settings? We're all outside the city now, so I don't know what's going on in the city. But if you're just short of people, I can help you get some." Xi Xiao Tian said.

"You? Count one, still short 18." Thinking of the limit of twenty people to build a guild, Gu Fei glanced at Xi Xiao Tian unhappily. Xi Xiao Tian looked away and hummed a song.

"18?" Jian Gui looked at Gu Fei strangely, what kind of arithmetic level is this? Shouldn't it be short 17?

"I have a guild, old brother. Unlike yours, you can quit whenever you want." Gu Fei could see that the girls of Rebirth Amethyst had now accepted him very much and didn't want him to leave the guild. Gu Fei was kind and didn't want to make the girls sad.

"It doesn't matter if I join or not, can I miss out on killing people?" Gu Fei patted Jian Gui on the shoulder and said.

"I said, if you're just gathering people, I'm not just talking about me, I can find 19 of them." Xi Xiao Tian said.

"Hmm?" Gu Fei became suspicious again, "Are you going to charge a fee? Then build a guild, pay the money, and you'll run away with the money immediately, and then the guild will disband? A new scam to help people gather people to build a guild? Where did you get so many people? Have you organized a group? Scam guild? Scam mercenary group?"

"Eh? Why don't I find Ying Zui Yue Zai and call those kids over to make up twenty." Gu Fei said.

"I said... aren't we building a guild now to aim for the city war? What's the point of gathering some random people?" Jian Gui vomited blood.
