Chapter 265 An Encounter

"You go, you go." Zhan Wushang and Yu Tian Shen Ming nodded and bowed, motioning for Gu Fei to step forward and accept the interview.

"I'll add some details." Brother You was still unwilling to let go of any gossip opportunities.

Duo Mu and Mu Duo looked at Gu Fei and saw that he had no objections, so the interview continued. The subsequent questions were answered by Gu Fei himself. Duo Mu and Mu Duo had the style of professional reporters, asking mostly unremarkable questions, neither embarrassing nor sharp, but when they compiled and wrote it out, it was a different matter entirely. Fortunately, the two had always reported on Gu Fei from a perspective of praise and flattery, so although it was sometimes a bit exaggerated, Brother You was basically the only one who read the reports, and he would come back and tell everyone as a joke, so Gu Fei would just laugh it off and ignore it.

Duo Mu and Mu Duo worked very diligently and left quickly after the interview to prepare to write their articles. Gu Fei had just breathed a sigh of relief when the sound of knocking on the counter rang again. The group was startled, and someone outside was already calling, "Is Brother Qian Li here?"

This time the voice was very unfamiliar. Gu Fei was sitting by the door, so he turned around and poked his head out, just about to see who it was, when he was shocked.

People! A sea of people! An unknown number of people had crowded into Little Lei's Tavern. They formed a long, winding line that snaked through the tavern, from the front door all the way to the booth where Gu Fei was! As soon as Gu Fei poked his head out, the person in front of the door immediately smiled and said, "Hello, Brother Qian Li."

"You are?"

"I am the guild leader of Jing Hua Shui Yue (Mirror Flower, Water Moon), my name is Jing Hua Yuan (Mirror Flower's Edge)." The person introduced himself.

"You guys... sigh..." Gu Fei didn't know what to say.

"Can you let me in to talk?" Jing Hua Yuan suggested.

"Please, please come in!" It wasn't Gu Fei who answered, but the other five. They enthusiastically let Jing Hua Yuan into the booth, then patted Gu Fei on the shoulder, "Good luck, you can do it!" With that, the five of them strode away.

Little Lei was overjoyed. So many people had come at once, and they didn't care about the lack of seats. They all directed him to bring them wine, and even wanted bottled wine for easy carrying. Little Lei was delighted to be ordered around.

Gu Fei thought that this couldn't go on. Would he have to live in the wilderness from now on? With that thought, Gu Fei stepped out of the booth, took two steps at a time, flew onto Little Lei's bar, waved his hand, and said, "Everyone, listen to me."

This time the discipline was much better than at the City Hall. He didn't know how these guild leaders had negotiated, but everyone was queuing orderly and keeping quiet, so that Gu Fei, who was being interviewed by Duo Mu and Mu Duo in the booth, was completely unaware that so many people had gathered just a wall away.

Now that Gu Fei had spoken, everyone was of course even quieter. Gu Fei opened his mouth and said, "I am very clear about everyone's intentions, but the wanted missions are my main source of fun in the game. Without them, most of my game would be meaningless, so I will absolutely not back down on this. Everyone, please go back!"

Everyone was nodding, patiently listening to Gu Fei, looking very understanding. But as soon as Gu Fei finished speaking, a voice immediately followed, "Boss Qian Li, can we talk about it together?"

"Isn't my meaning clear enough?" Gu Fei said.

"Boss Qian Li, please listen to my meaning!" Someone shamelessly tried to push forward.

"Damn!" Gu Fei was really helpless. Why wouldn't these players just give up! Gu Fei couldn't just say that he would kill them all. Unable to provoke them, he had to hide. He took out a teleport scroll and quietly unfurled it. Suddenly, a white light flashed on the bar, and Gu Fei disappeared.

"Sigh..." The players were all dejected, but the person had left decisively, and there was nothing they could do. The players were afraid of Gu Fei, but they were also somewhat dissatisfied, feeling that this person had to go against all the players in the city, which was really not harmonious.

The guild leaders who had waited for nothing gradually dispersed. In a corner of Little Lei's Tavern, Ye Xiao Wu was gnashing his teeth at Duan Shui Jian (Arrow That Cuts Water), "Did you see that?"

"I saw it." Duan Shui Jian sighed.

"If it were just a normal player, what would such a reward matter? But in Qian Li Yi Zui's hands, look at the storm it has stirred up? Everyone's game state has been disrupted." Ye Xiao Wu said hatefully. The system's distribution of rewards after such a large-scale event was random, and Ye Xiao Wu could not predict it in advance. It was only later that he learned from the players that Qian Li Yi Zui had caused such an incident again, and then followed the guild leader groups to Little Lei's Tavern to see what was going on. He saw Qian Li Yi Zui not giving anyone face, insisting on continuing his game style.

"With him imposing such a constraint, will no one in Yun Duan City dare to PK in the future?" Duan Shui Jian said.

"Very likely." Ye Xiao Wu said.

"So, as the game planners, do you support players PK, or not?" Duan Shui Jian suddenly asked.

"This..." Ye Xiao Wu paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "From a market perspective, we support players to engage in more PK competition, so as to promote players to invest more in the game and generate more consumption in the game..."

"Then why did you create such a wanted system? Now Qian Li Yi Zui is smashing your rice bowl." Duan Shui Jian said.

Ye Xiao Wu wanted to cry but had no tears, "The wanted system is ostensibly to suppress PK behavior, but in fact its greatest role is to help players with PK values wash away their PK, which is still an encouragement to PK in a disguised form. But who would have thought that there would be such a guy who enjoys wanted missions all day long, and does this mission even without PK values. The rewards for this mission are not very good, who would risk being PKed and losing levels for this little reward? If he weren't so invincible, would he dare to carry out wanted missions endlessly? A few mistakes and his levels would be gone."

"What about Apple Vinegar? That guy killed more than a thousand people, and doesn't seem to have made any mistakes, right? But he's far from being invincible, right?" Duan Shui Jian said.

"The problem is that a normal player who wants to PK would just go and PK people like that madman Apple Vinegar, why would they bother with a wanted mission? This guy... sigh, his essence is good, and he's definitely not a problem as a person, but his existence is always an influence on the game. And the influence is getting bigger and bigger. Before, he was just getting equipment above his level and killing Bosses above his level; then he developed an efficient leveling method, and now he's reversing the city war, making no one in Yun Duan City dare to PK. I can't imagine what kind of destruction he will cause if he continues playing." Ye Xiao Wu said.

"Leave Yun Duan City and make the whole world afraid to PK?" Duan Shui Jian guessed.

"That's not impossible... He'll probably soon discover the hidden functions of his wanted license after this level." Ye Xiao Wu said.

"What functions?" Duan Shui Jian asked.

"He no longer needs to go to the wanted mission office to collect wanted missions. As long as he uses the function of the wanted license to search, he can directly receive the mission when he finds the target... Moreover, he doesn't have to hand in one mission and then collect the next. He can complete the missions continuously and then hand them in all at once. These are the two hidden functions after the wanted license is upgraded by two levels." Ye Xiao Wu said.

"What else can we do?" Duan Shui Jian asked.

"We... we don't have enough power..." Ye Xiao Wu gritted his teeth. From the moment he discovered that the mission at the last stage of the city war had changed, his original strong confidence began to waver. He found that others would become more and more familiar with this world, but he was beginning to feel more and more unfamiliar with this world, and he could never become familiar with it again, because he could no longer turn back.

Gu Fei had now flown to the wilderness again. This was still the coordinate he made during the city war. He was slowly moving away from the main city, while sending a message in the channel, "Brother You, has the level rankings been finalized?"

"I'm in the game, I'll go down and take a look later. It should be finalized after all the rewards have been collected. But our Yun Duan City may be in tragedy this time..." Brother You said.

Everyone was silent. The 200,000 players in other main cities were happily receiving rewards, while the 200,000 players in Yun Duan City were busy for nothing, and finally received a little welfare from the government's pacification, which obviously meant that there would be a major decline in the overall level.

"Do you want a list of expert players? Leave this to me, I'm good at it!" Brother You said excitedly, feeling like a killer agent.

"Okay, that's good." Gu Fei wasn't polite.

"Are you really going to keep killing like this?" Jian Gui asked.

"Doing missions, it's doing missions." Gu Fei said.

"So many people, and you didn't give any face at all!" Everyone was quite amazed. In fact, "face" was a very magical thing, sometimes more effective than money or affection, especially when so many people were softly begging to give them some face, and you could still resolutely refuse. That was not easy.

"How is the guild doing?" This day was supposed to be a major day for the merger of Fei Chang Ni Tian and Chong Sheng Zi Jing, but Gu Fei's limelight was always so strong, stealing all the attention.

"There are still some people who haven't collected their rewards yet. We'll talk about it after they've collected them." Jian Gui said.

"What about your camp rewards? Did you collect them?" Gu Fei asked.

"Collected..." Jian Gui smiled bitterly, "I just got some experience and money." Jian Gui really didn't do much in the camp, except for successfully assassinating Bai Jia Hei. He didn't find Xiao Ping Gai later, and then he followed Gu Fei to capture the king in the guild building, and then he led the guild.

"What are you guys doing now?" Gu Fei asked.

"Hehe, of course we're going to take a look at the newly assigned territory!" Zhan Wushang was even more proud than the guild leader Jian Gui. This guy didn't get any of the tragic benefits of the city war, and was now excited to see what benefits the territory could bring.

The system was considerate. Since it was given to one guild, the two districts were together. Xiao Yun and Mi Yun districts were located in the southeast of Yun Duan City, slightly closer to the East City Gate. The location was not good, but not too bad. The Knight Camp of Yun Duan City was located in Mi Yun District, so having such a sub-area was a guarantee of some popularity. There were some sparse stalls at the entrance of the Knight Camp.

Overall, the development of Xiao Yun and Mi Yun districts was not complete. Currently, the system's real estate business was too expensive, so most players couldn't afford it and were idle. The most buyers of real estate were guilds. Because guilds could raise funds to buy houses, they were financially strong. No matter how big or small, buying a house would make them look more imposing and confident in recruiting new members.

The awarding of the two districts sounded like just a word from the city lord, but for the members of the guild, the system told them to receive a letter sent by the system in their mailbox, which would have a detailed explanation of the reward.

Jian Gui and the others had of course already taken it out. The letter stated that the granting of the two districts first provided a large house of 200 square meters in each of the two districts. Then, there were the rules for players to manage the districts. After reading the full text, everyone understood that it was not so much that they were given the two districts, but that they were only given the right to operate the two districts. Fei Chang Ni Tian guild could now be said to be the operators and managers of Xiao Yun and Mi Yun districts. The main business of the district was real estate. In the past, the system's houses were only sold, but now, after being controlled by the players, there were more rental options. But no matter whether it was rented or sold now, the system still took the bulk of the revenue, and those who managed the district could only get some commission from it, which looked a lot like a commission.

However, these commissions could be earned in the long term. Even if the house was sold, the players would never want to work once and for all. There was also property tax to be paid, and if they opened a business in the house, part of the transaction tax would be given to Jian Gui and the others as commission. This was really a good gold-making machine. Jian Gui and the others suddenly had two districts, and if they merged later, they would have four more. The guild's economic prospects were bright and the future was very promising.

Because of this, Jian Gui felt even more embarrassed when he thought that the girls from Chong Sheng Zi Jing wanted to quit and start playing the guild again. He once again proposed to July whether she should stay in the guild, but she could be treated as an independent group, and then be given a district to operate and manage.

July, on behalf of the girls of Chong Sheng Zi Jing, declined. The girls had a very good attitude. They also looked at the letter given by the system and understood the value of the district, but did not change their original intention. In their understanding, if they hadn't followed the city-guarding guild, they would not have been able to get such a high reward on their own. So they felt that the district award was not theirs in the first place, and they didn't feel bad about not having it.

Jian Gui smiled bitterly. If that was what they said, how many people in the guild were qualified to enjoy this reward? Such a thing couldn't be said "if". Those who joined the guild at that time all contributed a share, and then they were all qualified. Saying "if you didn't come, you wouldn't have it, so we shouldn't have it" was not valid!

Even so, Jian Gui was still unable to convince the girls. The girls had made up their minds. There were still a few who hadn't collected their rewards. July was waiting for these girls to collect their rewards and then quit.

"Add and discuss with them. See if the district can be transferred later. If it can be transferred, transfer two to them." Brother You suggested.

In normal times, Zhan Wushang and Yu Tian Shen Ming would have felt the pinch, but when they thought that they were transferring it to Chong Sheng Zi Jing, they immediately felt very relieved.

"Okay!" Jian Gui nodded.

As they spoke, the group continued to walk around their district. Brother You had quickly taken his notebook to count how many empty houses there were on each street, how many shops there were, what businesses they were doing, which were system-owned, which were player-owned, how many were practicing street stalls...

As they were walking, suddenly a door of a mansion opened and a person walked out happily, waving to the group, "Hello everyone!"

Han Jia Gong Zi slapped his head, "I knew it, I always felt like I should have been here before."

The other four glanced sideways, "You really don't participate in guild activities, huh?"

Standing before them was Ni Liu Er Shang (Going Against the Current), and the door he opened was also inlaid with the guild emblem of Dui Jiu Dang Ge (Singing Loudly While Drinking). The guild residence of Ni Liu Er Shang turned out to be in Xiao Yun District, which was assigned to Fei Chang Ni Tian.

"Everyone, I guessed that you would come and take a look. Come on, sit inside." Ni Liu Er Shang cordially invited. Jian Gui and the others looked at each other for a moment, and finally entered the residence of Dui Jiu Dang Ge.

It was a very large house. Entering the door was a reception room, and then a long corridor with rooms on both sides. Yu Tian Shen Ming stuck out his tongue, "This house must be 300 square meters, right?"

"286 square meters." Ni Liu Er Shang smiled.

"Oh, that's one square meter larger than Zong Heng Si Hai (Unrestrained)!" Yu Tian Shen Ming said. It didn't sound like a coincidence.

Ni Liu Er Shang smiled, proud that the residence was one square meter larger than Zong Heng Si Hai.

"Everyone, please come this way." Ni Liu Er Shang led the five of them inside. There were other people in the room, all core members of Dui Jiu Dang Ge, who greeted the five of them friendly.

Han Jia Gong Zi participated in guild activities less often, but it wasn't like he had never been there. The more he walked, the more familiar he became, and he unconsciously turned to the middle. The guys behind him were all stunned. Ni Liu Er Shang and Han Jia Gong Zi were walking in different directions! Just as he made a sound, Ni Liu Er Shang had already turned his head around. When he saw Han Jia Gong Zi going that way, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk over there!"

Everyone was confused and entered the room that Han Jia Gong Zi had entered. When they looked inside, it turned out to be a small wine room. The room was not big, with only two tables, but it was more carefully decorated than the taverns outside.

Ni Liu Er Shang led the group to sit down and took out the wine. He had originally wanted to take them to their meeting room, but he didn't expect Han Jia Gong Zi to recognize the wine and not the people.

"Guild Leader Ni Liu's decoration here is very careful, huh?" Jian Gui looked around, while planning how to decorate their guild residence in the future.

"Where, just a little bit." Ni Liu Er Shang said modestly, poured wine for the group, and then sat with them. Then it really was just idle chatter, saying some unimportant topics. When Jian Gui and the others said they were leaving, he politely sent them out the door.

Watching the door close behind them, the five of them smiled bitterly.

"This Ni Liu Er Shang is really patient. It seems that he wants to gradually build a good relationship with us." Zhan Wushang said.

"Patience is patience, but this guy's actions are always too obvious! It makes it obvious that he has a purpose, which makes people feel rebellious." Brother You said.

"Let's go, let's go, keep walking, my statistics are not finished yet!" Brother You waved his notebook.

Jian Gui was still looking at the residence of Dui Jiu Dang Ge. After everyone called out to him, he turned around, "I suddenly feel that our advantages are very great. In terms of economy, we have districts to collect commissions; in terms of combat, Qian Li's suppression is so shocking that people don't dare to PK... Isn't our guild's development too easy?"
