Hu Die Lan
Chapter 790 Slowly Moving Forward
Among these tens of thousands of players were many capable individuals. After some research, they determined that the coordinates should be near Moonlit Night City, a city close to Cloud City. Neither Black Finger nor anyone else had expected Gu Fei to use such a luxurious method to cleanse his PK value.
To set up an ambush in Moonlit Night City? Some people suggested this, but they were quickly berated as idiots by others. To ambush Drunken Flute, no one felt confident without several hundred people, but how would they get there? Walking was too slow, and using teleport scrolls would be an even more substantial investment. There was also a more serious issue: Moonlit Night City wasn't their territory. Moreover, everyone had heard that Yun Zhong Mu of the Ten Guild Alliance in Moonlit Night City had some connection with Drunken Flute. What if Drunken Flute borrowed some troops? Who would be ambushing whom then?
Thinking about this network of relationships, many players began to ponder deeply. Even if he was teleporting to cleanse his PK value, there were so many main cities. Why choose Moonlit Night City? Could it be that Drunken Flute's trip was partly to cleanse his PK value and partly to borrow troops?
The strength of the Ten Guild Alliance was worth anyone's attention. Although their ten guilds only had four thousand members, it was said that these four thousand people almost encompassed all the elites of Moonlit Night City.
And what about the alliance in Cloud City right now? They were treating the most elite group of people in Cloud City as their opponents, while their own side was a mixed bag, with many people just slacking off. Competing against a strong team of four thousand was a lot of pressure.
Some people thought of this situation and brought it up. For a time, these players were gloomy. If such a terrible thing really happened, what should they do?
While tens of thousands of people were worrying about this, Gu Fei in Moonlit Night City was cleansing his PK value extremely smoothly. He took on several tasks in one go and completed them in one breath. Without having to frequently travel back and forth between the target location and the wanted mission office, Gu Fei felt very satisfied. When he saw that only the last two target missions remained, Gu Fei suddenly received a message. He opened it and saw it was from Yun Zhong Mu: "Brother Qian Li, are you in Moonlit Night City?"
"Yes, yes! How did you know?" Gu Fei replied as he hurried along.
How did I know? Yun Zhong Mu smiled wryly. He had already received the news that someone in his guild had been sent to prison by a wanted mission. With the prestige of their Ten Guild Alliance in Moonlit Night City, no other player would be so arrogant and bold. Yun Zhong Mu had suspected Gu Fei from the start. The eyewitness players also told him that the other party should be Drunken Flute. Although Gu Fei's face wasn't a tag, his outfit was famous in Parallel World.
Yun Zhong Mu had contacted Gu Fei earlier, but Gu Fei was engrossed in his tasks at the time and hadn't noticed the message, leaving Yun Zhong Mu puzzled. He couldn't figure out where they had offended this big shot again. Just as he was thinking of a solution, he suddenly received a reply from Drunken Flute. Judging from the words, it didn't seem like he was here to cause trouble!
"So, why is Brother Qian Li so interested in running to Moonlit Night City to do wanted missions?" Yun Zhong Mu was very sophisticated now. He didn't directly question Gu Fei but probed for Gu Fei's intentions.
"Cleansing PK," Gu Fei told the truth.
"Cleansing PK? Has Brother Qian Li cleared all the wanted missions in Cloud City?" Besides this, Yun Zhong Mu really couldn't think of another explanation.
"That's not it. We had a bit of a situation in Cloud City. The wanted mission office was blocked, so I had to teleport to Moonlit Night City," Gu Fei explained patiently. But in that instant, he had already thought of it. He must have swept up people from the Ten Guild Alliance with his newly received tasks, or Yun Zhong Mu wouldn't have suddenly asked about this for no reason.
"Oh? There are people who don't give Brother Qian Li face? What's going on?" Yun Zhong Mu was really good at handling people now. He didn't mention that his own brothers were wanted by Gu Fei from beginning to end.
"Uh, guild conflict..." Gu Fei could only summarize it like that, or it would take too long to explain.
But these four words were enough for Yun Zhong Mu. He was also an expert in this area! Everyone in Parallel World knew that the defending side in Cloud City had won the city war and monopolized the generous rewards. The fact that the two winning guilds had merged today to further concentrate the rewards had only happened recently, but it had already spread far and wide. When Yun Zhong Mu heard "guild conflict," he knew that it was because Drunken Flute's guild was so successful that they had attracted jealousy and were probably being besieged. And seeing that Drunken Flute had been forced to come to Moonlit Night City to cleanse his PK value, the other party's background was probably not as simple as one or two guilds.
Yun Zhong Mu was now a guild leader with vision. If the opponents were just one or two guilds, he would definitely help Gu Fei out of brotherly loyalty. But in the current situation, he had to hesitate. Yun Zhong Mu was also in pain. He missed his old self. Back then, he wouldn't have cared about the strength of the opposing sides. If his brother was being bullied, he would definitely help with all his strength. But now, how many of the four thousand members would be willing to help with this?
In Cloud City, they were worried that the four thousand elites of the Ten Guild Alliance would come to attack. But they didn't know that every family had its own problems. The Ten Guild Alliance did have four thousand elites, but helping an outsider like Drunken Flute didn't align with the interests of the majority of the guild members at all. Even if their leader, Yun Zhong Mu, wanted to do it, he had to consider this issue. To be honest, not to mention helping Drunken Flute, many people in the guild were already very unhappy that Drunken Flute had come to Moonlit Night City and wanted four of their brothers. They knew that their Ten Guild Alliance had some history with Drunken Flute, and they regarded Drunken Flute's actions as disloyal.
Oh, five now... Yun Zhong Mu suddenly received a report. Gu Fei had been seizing the time while talking to him and had eliminated another target. Voices rose again in the alliance. Even old partners like Zhu Xian came to ask Yun Zhong Mu what was going on.
"What's going on? There's no explanation. People are just here to do wanted missions. Damn it, the wanted missions don't have your guild's label or your name on them. Who the hell knows it's you? You deserve it for being too rampant usually. You're afraid now that you have a buttload of PK value?" Yun Zhong Mu was conflicted and Zhu Xian was being a cheapskate, so he naturally gave him a scolding.
Zhu Xian was naturally not afraid of Yun Zhong Mu and immediately retorted, "Your grandpa, don't you have any PK value on you?"
Yun Zhong Mu immediately felt guilty when he heard this. He looked at himself and saw that he also had three points of PK value, and they were quite fresh. Earlier, a team of brothers in the guild had an argument with someone in the leveling area. Yun Zhong Mu happened to pass by and, without saying a word, decisively hung up the other party's three people and scared them away. He was quite proud and complacent at the time, but now... Yun Zhong Mu suddenly felt the words he had scolded Zhu Xian with were ringing in his ears.
Yun Zhong Mu hadn't said anything for a while, but Gu Fei's message came proactively: "Guild Leader Yun, did I happen to take on tasks involving your people? Sorry about that. The mission office can't tell who's who. But there's only one more left to finish."
"It's not your fault, it's not your fault..." Yun Zhong Mu replied quickly.
"But... I might come again later. Remind the brothers with PK value!" That was all Gu Fei said. As for this "reminder," whether you want to cleanse your PK as soon as possible, go offline to hide, or gather people to ambush and counter-kill, Gu Fei didn't care. He did feel that he had some friendship with Yun Zhong Mu and that it was a bit unkind to cleanse his guild members without even saying hello. In any case, Moonlit Night City wasn't lacking in PK value. But it seemed that high PK value was mostly produced by the Ten Guild Alliance. It would be a pity if they really dealt with it all. Gu Fei was actually very conflicted, no less conflicted than Yun Zhong Mu.
But Yun Zhong Mu's nature was actually that if you respect me one foot, I'll respect you ten feet; if you stab me, I'll kill your whole family. Seeing that Gu Fei was really giving him face, he was very touched. He immediately threw the "reminder" into the guild and didn't care what the guild brothers did. Finally, he asked Gu Fei, "Brother Qian Li, what trouble are you having over there? See if I can help."
Yun Zhong Mu had made up his mind this time. He wouldn't come forward in the name of the guild, but he could always provide assistance in a personal capacity. Yun Zhong Mu believed that even in the current Ten Guild Alliance, there were still many old partners who remembered Gu Fei's kindness back then and treated Gu Fei as a brother.
"Haha, that's not necessary. I'll just do this last one and turn in the mission and go back," Gu Fei said.
"I don't know who you guys are fighting now? Are Sword Demon and the others doing well?" Yun Zhong Mu asked.
Gu Fei also felt a bit angry when he brought this up, but he still replied calmly, "They are safe now. There are many opponents, and it's still unclear."
"Oh, oh." Yun Zhong Mu didn't ask any further. Then he wished Gu Fei and his team a great victory. After turning around, he had already started contacting the old brothers and old subordinates in the guild to talk about this matter.
Gu Fei found the last target. Without saying much, he went up and killed him. Then he quickly patted the Chasing Wind Emblem and returned to the wanted mission office. After turning in the mission, his PK value was completely cleansed, and he immediately felt refreshed and full of power. Next, he naturally used a teleport scroll to return to Cloud City. Gu Fei didn't have many scrolls left at this time, but he had changed them all to be made in the city. He randomly took one and flew away, leaving Moonlit Night City.
At this time, the players in Cloud City who had taken on the wanted mission for Qian Li Yi Zui suddenly found that their missions had failed. It was obvious that Qian Li Yi Zui had completely cleansed his PK value. Their incredibly high efficiency made them feel completely unbelievable. Qian Li Yi Zui was indeed the king of wanted missions, and his familiarity with wanted missions had reached such a heaven-defying and earth-enraging level.
"He's coming back..." Everyone silently faced this issue.
"Everyone, gather and act. Don't get separated." This was the final choice made to face Qian Li Yi Zui.
Gu Fei returned. As soon as he stepped on the land of Cloud City, he immediately looked around to see if there were any masked guys without badges. Unfortunately, he didn't find any.
Then he contacted Han Jia Gongzi and Xi Yao Wu. Han Jia Gongzi said that he had contacted a large number of teleport scrolls. Although the price was a bit high, they were all already marked with coordinates.
"There's one situation you need to understand," Han Jia Gongzi continued after saying that the scrolls had arrived.
"What situation?" Gu Fei asked.
"Obviously, I made this deal through a studio. But haven't we been suspecting that the studio is very likely involved in this incident? Then, this bunch of scroll business is very likely being used. Because they know our purpose for wanting this batch of scrolls, the coordinates of these scrolls are very likely to be traps," Han Jia Gongzi said.
"You mean, this can be used to test which studio is playing tricks?" Gu Fei asked.
"That's right."
"Can you be any more sinister..." Gu Fei sighed.
"Just a little trick," Han Jia Gongzi said.
"Giving people scrolls while scheming against them, you're something!" Gu Fei said.
"Of course."
"But I want to ask, you mean, I'm going to carry more than twenty PK and then go to a very dangerous trap that I obviously know is aimed at me?" Gu Fei asked.
"It's quite difficult," Han Jia Gongzi said.
"Indeed. Actually, it's not necessarily me who has to do this test. I think you can go. In a moment, you can immediately fly to each of the studios you contacted with the scrolls. I think even if the other party doesn't attack you, the scene must be big to deal with my trap, so you should be able to see it. Although you will die afterward, what should make us happy is that your level is not valuable," Gu Fei said.
"Not bad, that's the safest approach." Han Jia Gongzi didn't object and accepted it happily.
"You have to hurry a bit. I'm going to cleanse PK in a moment. If I'm unlucky and fly to an ambush, that would be very bad," Gu Fei said.
"Didn't you leave a coordinate when you went to Moonlit Night City just now?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.
"You guessed it..." Gu Fei said.
"Idiot..."
Gu Fei was helpless. He had really forgotten.
"Go to the mailbox now to get the scrolls," Han Jia Gongzi informed him.
"How was this transaction carried out? Whether it's a face-to-face transaction or a mailbox transaction, you always have obvious exposure. How could the other party not attack you?" Gu Fei asked.
"Actually, I originally wanted to use this method to test it, but as you said, my level is not valuable. The other party wants to play the long game, first make our money and then take the opportunity to solve your urgent problem. Their scheme is not so shallow," Han Jia Gongzi said.
"Well, it's a suitable opponent for you. As for me, I'll go find their trouble now!" Gu Fei said.
"To be realistic, I'll wait for you to get twenty PK before starting the test."
"That will be fast."
Gu Fei had already received a message from Xi Yao Wu at this time. More and more players were gathering at the dungeon, and Xi Yao Wu was getting farther and farther away from the target to avoid them. She was constantly complaining about how slow Gu Fei was.
Gu Fei asked Xi Yao Wu for her location and rushed over quickly. This place was very far from the dungeon gate, and the hiding place was very safe. Facing tens of thousands of opponents, Xi Yao Wu dared not go up and attack, and could only keep complaining about why Gu Fei hadn't come yet.
"I'm here, stop being so noisy." Gu Fei didn't bother to reply to the message and directly ran behind Xi Yao Wu to speak.
"Where did you go? You're so slow," Xi Yao Wu said depressed.
"Went to Moonlit Night City to cleanse PK," Gu Fei replied while observing the enemy situation.
"You have to go to Moonlit Night City to cleanse PK? What kind of luxurious mission is this?" Xi Yao Wu asked in surprise.
"The wanted mission office on our side was blocked," Gu Fei said.
"Because of you?"
"Probably."
"Look, because of your little trouble, how much trouble have you caused to the players in our Cloud City? Many people want to go to the wanted mission, what should we do now?"
"Go to Moonlit Night City!" Gu Fei's answer was extremely easy, making Xi Yao Wu extremely speechless.
"Where is this Black Finger?" Gu Fei was empty-handed at this time. He could not approach them at all even with the coordinates. As a mission person, Black Finger should have presented the mission number in Gu Fei's eyes, but he could not see it in the current situation.
"It's all because of you. If you had come earlier, there wouldn't be so many people," Xi Yao Wu said.
"Don't worry, think of a way," Gu Fei said.
"What else can we do?"
"Look, they are all disguised with masks and without guild badges. If we also dress like this and randomly find an angle to mix in, do you think we will be discovered?" Gu Fei said.
"Do you want to just mix in with the target like this? I don't think the other party will be so careless. Maybe they have some means of identification?" Xi Yao Wu said.
"But when it's very chaotic, they may not be so careful," Gu Fei said.
"Chaos, how chaotic?"
"For example, I suddenly jump out and attack."
"You mean, you attack to cause chaos, and I take the opportunity to assassinate Black Finger?"
"How about it?"
"You idiot, you didn't let me take the mission. How do I know which one he is? If you want to cause chaos on the periphery, how do you point people to me?"
"There are NPCs to point you," Gu Fei smiled.
"NPC?" Xi Yao Wu was stunned.
Gu Fei had already spotted the two guards not far away. He walked forward, showed his wanted license, and the two guards immediately stood at attention and saluted. The NPCs' meticulous voice also sounded: "What are your orders, officer?"
"Off... Officer?" Xi Yao Wu was completely dumbfounded.
"Well, it's okay..." Gu Fei seized the time and immediately gave instructions for the wanted mission. These two guards and the help Gu Fei got in the city war mission may not be equal in strength, but their IQs are at the same level. They understood Gu Fei's meaning, saluted Officer Gu Fei again, and then the two guards stepped out.
Two NPC guards, two real NPC guards. No one would suspect anything about this. The NPC guards walked towards the dungeon, and the players didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"This... This..." Xi Yao Wu was completely dumbfounded.
"Mask, change clothes! I will attract their attention in a moment. You take the opportunity to mix in, just follow the two of them. The two of them's target is Black Finger," Gu Fei said.
"What orders did you give them?"
"It's very simple, move forward slowly and attack the target," Gu Fei said.

I heard that someone's birthday is tomorrow, so I wish you a happy birthday in advance, because I will probably forget tomorrow. If you remember now... If it's your birthday tomorrow, take a seat!
