Chapter 48 Conversation

"Oh?" Gu Fei could tell that Jian Nan You had something to say. Compared to the other players, these seven brothers seemed much calmer and less excited.

"Our seven's purpose in the game is a bit different from theirs." Jian Nan You said, looking at the excited players. After saying this, he couldn't help but sigh, "I used to think that having a hobby become a job was a happy thing, but after doing it for a long time, I realized that hobbies and work really shouldn't be mixed. When a hobby becomes a job, it carries too much pressure, and the fun that it used to have as a hobby slowly disappears."

"You mean playing games?" Gu Fei asked.

"Yeah." Jian Nan You nodded.

"There's nothing to play in games." Gu Fei strongly agreed.

"..." The seven were speechless. Even Gu Fei's acquaintances in the game, such as Jian Gui, often found themselves unable to continue the conversation when talking to Gu Fei.

"If there's nothing to play, then what are you playing?" Huo Ran Yi finally couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't come to play games..."

"To buy soy sauce?" Huo Ran Yi impulsively interrupted Gu Fei.

"No." Gu Fei shook his head. "I came to hit people."

"..." The conversation paused again. In reality, there were many people who suddenly couldn't continue the conversation with Gu Fei.

"Hit... hit people?" Jian Nan You thought that their robbing was already rude enough, but he didn't expect that there were people who came directly to hit people.

"Hitting people is just a vulgar and easy-to-understand way of saying it. To be serious, it's to find a space to use my kung fu. I can't just go hitting people on the street, right? Doing some wanted missions in the game is fine. I thought you knew?" In Gu Fei's impression, these people should all know his attitude towards the game.

"Oh, oh... we know, we know..." The seven wiped their sweat. They did know, but when Gu Fei suddenly claimed to be "hitting people," their minds didn't turn around for a moment.

"Well, I remember saying that." Gu Fei said.

"You said it, you said it." The seven said one after another, and then they were all stunned. Weren't they originally discussing their problem with Gu Fei? How did the topic suddenly shift to him? Jian Nan You, as the leader of the seven and the main speaker, immediately stood up. While handing Gu Fei a kebab, he forcibly turned the topic back, "Um, how is this guild going to develop?"

"Guild? I don't know. I don't understand it." Gu Fei said, squatting down in front of the fire to roast the meat. While roasting, he turned his head and asked, "Is it okay for me to roast it like this? I don't have any life skills."

"It's okay." Jian Nan You nodded. "Players can do these things themselves without skills, but the meat you roast won't have the attributes of the food made with their cooking skills."

"Oh..." Gu Fei responded. His expression focused on the meat again. He flipped it back and forth over the fire. Jian Nan You was about to continue the topic when Gu Fei suddenly spoke, "Who cut this meat?"

Jian Nan You was stunned. He turned his head and looked over. Hei Shui came over, also puzzled, "I cut it. What's wrong?"

"The technique is rough! Look at this cut. It's obvious that you relied too much on finger strength at the beginning. When you cut halfway, your strength was insufficient, so you started to add wrist strength. So the front and rear cuts are more trembling, and the back part is smoother with the wrist strength. Actually, that's not enough. When it comes to exerting force, relying solely on the human body itself is far from enough. The so-called force comes from the ground..."

"Boss, what are you talking about?" The seven were confused.

"I'm talking about your meat!" Gu Fei said.

"You're talking about the meat? Aren't you talking about exerting force?" Hei Shui said.

"I'm talking about seeing your exertion of force from this piece of meat. What I said just now wasn't right?" Gu Fei asked.

"I'm ashamed! I've tried very hard to recall, but I really can't remember whether I used finger strength or wrist strength or finger strength first and then wrist strength when I cut this piece of meat." Hei Shui said.

"That's normal." Gu Fei nodded. "After all, you haven't received systematic training. This may just be a very small detail that you may not have noticed yourself."

Hei Shui really couldn't continue. He looked at the other six with a pleading expression. Jian Nan You had tried to bring up the main topic twice, but Gu Fei had diverted it. This was the third time. He decided to take a deep breath and suddenly said, "What we mean is that we need to make money in the game to support ourselves, but joining the Extremely Heaven-Defying guild obviously has more of an entertainment color. So we want to know if there are any ways for our brothers to make money in the future development of Extremely Heaven-Defying, such as teaching efficient leveling methods like we used to do in the studio. If not, although we would also like to play with everyone in the guild, we must also find a way to solve our survival problem."

Jian Nan You finished speaking in one breath. Gu Fei was dumbfounded. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "Say it so fast? What did you just say?"

Jian Nan You almost spat a mouthful of blood on Gu Fei's face, but Gu Fei finally cared about the "What did you say?" question. Dao Cao Mu rushed forward at this time, taking over Jian Nan You's job and repeating the situation he had just described.

"Oh! You're talking about this." Gu Fei nodded. "That's right, but I don't know much about the guild's stuff. What did Jian Gui and the others say?"

"They?" The expressions of Jian Nan You and his six brothers were a bit dim. "We had some communication last night, but it wasn't very smooth. In fact, we are also clear that we people have a more utilitarian mindset in the game, while Guild Leader Jian Gui and the others are purely for the fun of the game. They are the kind of people who truly love this game. In their minds, people like us who make money from the game may be ruining the game. Guild Leader Jian Gui said that the current focus is on making the guild better and bigger. We immediately raised the issue of benefits, but he didn't seem to care much. I know this is not very appropriate, but there's no way! We brothers have to eat."

"The money you earned from the efficient leveling method last time should be quite a lot, right?" Gu Fei said.

"That was a lot. It's enough for us brothers to maintain for a while, but after all, this game is our livelihood, so we still hope to know a clear future, so that we can feel at ease." Jian Nan You said.

"Don't worry!" Gu Fei said, "I think Jian Gui isn't not concerned, he just hasn't figured out how to deal with it. This is his first time running a guild in this game! Everyone is friends, and that guy Jian Gui won't not consider his friends."

As Gu Fei spoke, he handed the grilled meat in his hand to Jian Nan You.

Jian Nan You's face was somewhat doubtful. He took the meat Gu Fei handed over and took a bite. He chewed it twice and felt that something was wrong. He took it away from his mouth and looked at it and said, "It's not cooked!"

"Is it? Then roast it again." Gu Fei snatched it back from Jian Nan You's hand and turned it over the fire again. Jian Nan You hurriedly spat out the meat in his mouth and asked, "Do you know how to do it?"

"I know a little." Gu Fei said. His "knowing a little" came from Coward Savior. He had only roasted meat with Coward Savior once, and he vaguely remembered it was like this, rolling it around.

"Let me do it?" Hei Shui stepped forward.

"No, let me try again." Gu Fei continued to focus on roasting the meat.

The seven were all afraid at this time and wanted to transfer quietly, but what level was Gu Fei's ability to observe in all directions? He immediately noticed it and pointed at Jian Nan You and said, "Don't go! Only you can eat it. You've already bitten it."

Jian Nan You was in tears: You've already tricked me once, why won't you let me go? As expected of the game's number one killer, whether killing with a knife or without a knife, his techniques are very skilled. He's going to kill himself with this bad food! The other six looked at Jian Nan You, their eyes revealing an extremely tragic look.

Jian Nan You felt that he couldn't die in vain. He had to ask more questions while he could. So he leaned back and asked, "Then are we going to continue that efficient leveling method business?"

This was a big business. Jian Nan You and the others had tasted the sweetness and only hated that they didn't master this technology. Otherwise, they wouldn't care about city battles and would have gone wandering around selling their skills long ago.

"That!" Gu Fei nodded and said, "You should really communicate more with that kid Bai Shi Jing Lun. He is also likely to take the road of making money from the game. You can work together to operate this project well."

"What about you?" Jian Nan You asked. The other six also pricked up their ears to listen. They weren't very familiar with Bai Shi Jing Lun. They had gone from enemies to partners with Gu Fei. They admired not only Gu Fei's skills but also his character. Especially after Gu Fei made money, he didn't take the big share. Of course, employees liked such a boss very much.

"Me? I don't need to make money from this to make a living. I can just play around." Gu Fei said. He never intended to make money from this thing in the first place. The idea was entirely Bai Shi Jing Lun's. Gu Fei was completely forced into it.

"I see..." Jian Nan You nodded. He was already thinking about how to communicate with Bai Shi Jing Lun about this. As a result, Jiao Shui suddenly pointed and said, "Hey, speak of the devil."

Everyone looked in that direction and saw Bai Shi Jing Lun indeed. Not only him, but also Shui Shen, Lu Ke, and some other people from Extremely Cold of Lin Yin City were greeting Jian Gui and the others.

"You finally established a guild again. How could I not come to congratulate you in person?" Shui Shen's voice floated over with the wind.

Then they saw Han Jia Gong Zi. Shui Shen, who was full of smiles, immediately began to grit his teeth, "I heard that some people were messing around with everyone on the opposite side during the city battle? How can they still have the face to stand here?"

"Tch, childish." Han Jia Gong Zi indifferently spat out three words and made Shui Shen so angry that he almost died. He didn't wait for Shui Shen to argue and walked to the side.

"Yo, Cloud End City's number one trap technician, you're here too!" Shui Shen saw Han Jia Gong Zi run away, so he continued to greet people. Suddenly, he saw a person and immediately shouted loudly.

Gu Fei was stunned and quickly got up and looked around. From the direction Shui Shen was pointing, he found Ying Zhong Yue Zai's figure. If this guy was here, the people from Among the Flowers of Eternal Life must have all come too. In that case, the girls would be in danger! Gu Fei quickly looked around to see if any girls were caught in trap clamps. As a result, he saw Huo Qiu come over, "Drunken Bro, what are you looking for?"

"Are the people from Among the Flowers all here?" Gu Fei said.

"They're here, but Drunken Bro, don't worry. They wouldn't dare to mess around. This is a big occasion. It would be disrespectful to you and Guild Leader Jian Gui!" Huo Qiu said. Although Jian Gui was the guild leader from beginning to end, it was obvious that Huo Qiu always followed Gu Fei's lead. When mentioning the two, Gu Fei was always ranked first, which was the distinction between the main and secondary.

"Then what are they doing?" Gu Fei looked around and didn't see anyone from Among the Flowers. He only saw Ying Zhong Yue Zai roasting meat with Mang Mang by a bonfire over there.

"Chatting up girls!" Huo Qiu said.

"..." Gu Fei was speechless for a moment. "Didn't you say they wouldn't mess around?"

"How is chatting up messing around? Drunken Bro, look, I'm chatting you up now. Am I messing around?" Huo Qiu said.

"When are you not messing around?" Gu Fei said.

"Drunken Bro, you're worthy of being my boss. You really understand your little brother too well!" Huo Qiu flattered.

Gu Fei couldn't stand this attack either. His hand shook and the meat fell into the fire. Huo Qiu quickly wanted to rescue it, but Jian Nan You desperately stopped him, "Forget it, just change to another skewer."

While speaking, Shui Shen and the others who had just arrived walked around each bonfire and came to Gu Fei's side. After greeting each other, Bai Shi Jing Lun boasted to Gu Fei about how powerful he was in the city battle. Gu Fei smiled indifferently after hearing it and only said, "That's because I wasn't guarding the city in Lin Yin." Bai Shi Jing Lun depressedly wanted to die. But in terms of kung fu, he was indeed far inferior to Gu Fei. The honest Bai Shi Jing Lun would not deny this point.

After Gu Fei finished speaking, he pointed at Jian Nan You and his seven brothers, "These brothers were just asking about the efficient leveling method business! That job may mainly be for you and them to do together in the future. You should discuss it carefully."

Jian Nan You was very happy to see Gu Fei actively helping them connect. He immediately wanted to pull Bai Shi Jing Lun to discuss it. However, Bai Shi Jing Lun seemed to suddenly remember something and turned his head to Shui Shen and said, "You haven't settled the account for the city battle with me yet!"

"Yes, yes, we have to settle it. I'll collect it and send it to you later." Shui Shen quickly said.

Bai Shi Jing Lun nodded, expressing satisfaction. The seven of Jian Nan You were even more overjoyed. They really liked Bai Shi Jing Lun's character of valuing interests. In the eyes of those online game masters like Jian Gui, talking about money seemed like a shameless and hurtful thing. Jian Nan You and the others really couldn't agree with this point.

The seven plus one person quickly found a common language in making money and went to discuss the major plan together. Shui Shen, Lu Ke, and Gu Fei were left by the bonfire.

"Not bad, you were majestic again in this city battle." Shui Shen and Gu Fei were actually only half-acquainted, but this person greeted people like Ying Zhong Yue Zai, so he was obviously a naturally familiar guy. When talking to Gu Fei, he was completely out of his mind.

"So so." Gu Fei said humbly casually. At this time, another person walked over from the side. Gu Fei saw him and greeted with a smile, "It's Manager Ling. Why are you here too?"

"Don't call me that, it's weird." Ling Gu Feng quickly said, "I heard that your two major guilds merged and came here to celebrate, so I also came to express my congratulations. I also specially selected a few brothers, who are all masters of barbecue!"

"Worthy of being a human resources manager!" Gu Fei gave a thumbs up, "But you have to ask our guild leader, 呶, he's over there." Gu Fei pointed Ling Gu Feng to Jian Gui.

"Then I'll go over there. Please." Ling Gu Feng also greeted Shui Shen and Lu Ke, who he didn't know, and went to find Jian Gui. Shui Shen's expression was a little unkind at this time. He looked at Ling Gu Feng's leaving figure and said, "Who is this person?"

"From the studio, his name is Ling Gu Feng. He helped us a lot during this city battle." Gu Fei knew that Shui Shen was very unfriendly to studios, but he still told the truth.

"Oh? Which one?" Shui Shen asked.

"Yun Teng Studio, do you know it?" Gu Fei said.

"Oh, Yun Teng... I know it. It's an emerging one in recent years, and its reputation is pretty good. But now studios pay a lot of attention to this aspect. Those with a lot of bad deeds can't survive at all. Reputation doesn't explain anything, let alone a new one, so they naturally have to do some fake work."

"Is that so? So they are definitely not good people either?" Gu Fei smiled.

"Then I wouldn't dare to say for sure, but I believe a word." Shui Shen said.

"What?"

"Birds of a feather flock together." Shui Shen said.

"Hmm..." After hearing this, Gu Fei also looked at Ling Gu Feng's back in a thoughtful manner. Although this person gave him a very good impression, Wu Ye's impression on him was equally deep.

Shui Shen continued to fan the flames on the side, "Look, this area allocation after the city battle is really a super big cake. I guess the studio can't wait to have all the areas under its control. They must have worked very hard during the city battle. I estimate that each main city now has more or less some areas controlled by guilds controlled by studios. Only you, your Cloud End City, actually created a monster of guarding city players defeating attacking city players. Those studios that invested in the city battle must have all eaten a dumb loss this time. They will definitely have ideas about you, of course, not to say revenge, but mainly for business. The situation in your Cloud End City's area is much more profitable than other main cities. Especially now that you have merged, the areas owned by Cloud End City players are all in the hands of one guild, how conducive is this to competition? And it's also convenient to operate here! Other main cities, such as our Lin Yin, our Extremely Cold got an area. In addition to us, there are a total of seventeen guilds that received area rewards. Speaking of this, I get angry, damn it, we got more than three hundred points in the city battle, but we only got one area. Those bastards only got one hundred or two hundred points, but they also got an area. Is there any justice?!"

"You're off topic!" Lu Ke said heavily on the side.

"Oh, oh, back to the studio. Look, in our main cities, each area has to compete with each other to develop. Only your main city has none at all. You are the only one dominating, which is simply a monopoly! Of course, there are also those areas that are not under the control of players, but I guarantee that in the future, whether it is real estate or commerce, the areas controlled by players will be the center. How can the system's rigid mechanical mode be a competitor to players! Now, do you understand how big a cake you have in your hands?" Shui Shen said.

The competition for categories is fierce, and a large number of monthly tickets are urgently needed for support. Fire at me!
