Chapter 147 An Unfathomable Train of Thought

While asking, Lan He had already returned to the main city from the wilderness. He entered the arena and found the room created by Jun Mo Xiao, only to see Jun Mo Xiao locked in fierce battle with that Level 36 player.

Locked in fierce battle—this was just Lan He's first impression upon entering the room. After taking a closer look, he immediately felt that saying "locked in fierce battle" was a complete exaggeration of the player named Yi Di Ji Mao. This was not a match between players of the same caliber at all. Lan He could barely stand to watch Yi Di Ji Mao's level of play. In his opinion, this was truly a newcomer who had just entered Glory.

And his opponent? Ye Qiu, the great god with ten years of Glory experience...

Yi Di Ji Mao was knocked to the ground not long after Lan He entered. Then, he even sent a depressed expression. Lan He guessed that, with his level, he wouldn't even realize how terrifying his opponent was. Perhaps he thought he was just slightly inferior? It was just like Tang Rou back then; if your level wasn't high enough, you wouldn't even know how big the gap was.

Ye Xiu was also quite disappointed at this time. He had been very serious in his PK with this Yi Di Ji Mao, but after carefully playing three rounds, he was certain that Yi Di Ji Mao was definitely a genuine Glory newbie.

With Ye Xiu's experienced eyes, he was completely confident in making this judgment. It wasn't easy for a newbie to pretend to be a master, or for a master to pretend to be a newbie. It wouldn't fool an old veteran like Ye Xiu.

"Another round?" Yi Di Ji Mao had lost three times in a row, but he was still eager to try, sending out a fighting expression.

"You take a break first. I'll play a couple of rounds with Jue Se," Ye Xiu said.

Jue Se was the ID of the character that Lan He was currently using, and the class was also his forte, Swordsman. Initially, he just took this account card to go undercover because there was no one else around. But this time, Lan He was feeling a little dejected from this undercover mission. He knew that Jun Mo Xiao was the great god Ye Qiu, so he didn't dream of winning the PK. He was just continuing with his natural train of thought. Since the person asked him to come to the arena, then he would come!

At this time, seeing Ye Xiu's battle invitation, Lan He immediately clicked confirm and entered the arena.

The most common map, like a boxing ring, both sides could only rely on their own skills and experience. There was no terrain to take advantage of on this kind of map, but it was currently the most used map by arena players in Glory because it was simple and direct.

"Start?" Lan He asked after entering the arena.

"Let's start!" Ye Xiu didn't say much.

Lan He didn't hesitate. At this moment, he didn't think about pretending to be a newbie. He was staying here no longer with the intention of being an undercover, but simply using this character to hang around.

With a flash of sword light, Lan He had already made his move. Swordsman's most common skill, Rising Draw, was his opening move.

Jun Mo Xiao was also very serious. With a flash of sword light, he retreated, easily dodging the sword aura.

"So fast!" Lan He praised inwardly. When he used the Rising Draw, Jun Mo Xiao was definitely within his skill range, but by the time his sword aura was cut out, he was a full two body lengths away from Jun Mo Xiao. This was not something that could be done with just quick reactions and operation; it was obvious that he had predicted it when Lan He started his move.

But such a thing happening to the opponent in front of him was not surprising at all to Lan He. He didn't think he could win at all, so his mentality was naturally very relaxed. He didn't sigh at all when the Rising Draw missed. He made a sidestep, shook the other party's view, and then charged up with a Swift Rush and stabbed out with his sword.

With a "clang," Jun Mo Xiao also drew his sword and used a block to seal Lan He's attack. After the block, he retreated, and then three "boom boom boom" sounds were heard from the umbrella, which transformed into an Anti-Tank Gun.

"Too fast..." Lan He was a little helpless. The gap between the two sides could be said to be all-round. The speed of immediately following up with an Anti-Tank Gun after the block was completely beyond Lan He's ability to withstand. He couldn't react at all to the three incoming shells. Trying to dodge was completely too slow, and he was immediately pushed back a lot by the three shells.

Lan He did a roll on the spot, which was an experienced operation. At this time, many opponents would choose to continue to attack aggressively, and this roll was also a kind of predictive operation.

"Hmm, not bad!" Jun Mo Xiao suddenly said.

Lan He was stunned.

What was not bad? He couldn't see it at all. Did he dodge very beautifully with that roll just now?

To be honest, Lan He didn't judge at all what kind of attack Jun Mo Xiao would use next. This roll was just a habitual operation for him. At any time, when encountering a similar situation, he would just do a roll without thinking.

How would he know that it was because of his skillful and unthinking actions that Ye Xiu immediately felt that the one in front of him was probably not a newbie at all.

However, if he wasn't a newbie, then the chances of him being an undercover from a certain guild were quite high.

While Ye Xiu was thinking, he continued to attack.

In general, Lan He's situation against a god-level player like this was not much better than Yi Di Ji Mao's. However, Lan He still had some ideas. Even if he lost, at least he lost with some understanding. Unlike a newbie like Yi Di Ji Mao, who basically didn't understand the technical aspects and just kept coming back after losing.

Before long, Lan He was knocked into the air by Jun Mo Xiao with a Rising Strike. After falling down, he could no longer stand up.

The first round ended in less than a minute. Jun Mo Xiao didn't lose a drop of health.

Lan He's face was a little hot. Although he knew that the other party was a top-level great god, he still thought that he could at least land one or two sword strikes on the other party, which should be better than that Yi Di Ji Mao. But now it seemed that he was also like Yi Di Ji Mao, only able to be beaten to the ground. He had overestimated himself after all.

"Another round?" Ye Xiu asked.

For this one, Ye Xiu felt that this round was enough to evaluate him. This person would definitely not be a newbie, and he was quite familiar with the Swordsman class. Some operations were very obvious Swordsman habits. In the game, he would definitely be considered a master.

However, besides that, Ye Xiu was also a little surprised. The most important reason why he could see so much in less than a minute was that this person didn't hide anything at all. This was something Ye Xiu couldn't understand. Such a veteran must be an undercover sent by other guilds. Wasn't he afraid of being exposed by not hiding his strength? Or perhaps this was a plan based on reverse thinking?

"What do you think?"

Ye Xiu was still thinking when he saw the other party reply with this sentence.

"That's about it. Let's retreat first!" Ye Xiu said, already leaving the arena.

Lan He was a little baffled. What was the purpose of suddenly calling him to fight a PK?

After leaving the arena, Lan He quickly received a message from Ye Xiu: "How many years have you been playing Glory?"

"Uh, several years," Lan He replied.

"Which guild are you from?" Ye Xiu asked.

Too direct... Lan He spat blood, but he was too lazy to hide it any further. Let it be, so he said straightforwardly: "Lan Xi Pavilion."

"Lan He?" Ye Xiu asked.

"No way? You can even see that?" Lan He was shocked. He believed that the great god Ye Qiu could tell that he was a veteran from his performance just now. But to accurately see through his real identity was too shocking. Although he was a master in the game, he was just a small character compared to professional masters. It was hard to believe that such a great god would be so attentive as to recognize his style.

"No... just guessing." Ye Xiu's reply shocked Lan He again.

"Guessing so accurately..." Lan He was speechless.

"Lan Xi Pavilion... I only know three swordsmen. That Rao Yang Chui Liu doesn't seem like someone who would come to be an undercover," Ye Xiu said.

"It's Rao An Chui Yang," Lan He corrected, but then became curious: "Who's the other one?"

"Huang Shao Tian..."

"Okay..." Lan He wiped his sweat. Of course, that one was even more unlikely to come undercover.

"What are you doing? Are you even trying? Is this how an undercover agent should behave?" Ye Xiu started to reprimand.

Lan He was in tears. This conversation was very strange. He didn't even know how to answer.

"Now that you're exposed, what are you still doing in our guild?" Ye Xiu continued to ask.

"Just messing around out of boredom," Lan He replied.

"Bored, huh? Then I'll find you something to do!" Ye Xiu said.

"What is it?" Lan He asked.

"Help me run the guild," Ye Xiu said.

Petrified, instantly petrified.

Lan He pinched himself hard to make sure this wasn't a dream. Then, he opened the chat log again and carefully read it again to see if he had read it wrong. Then, he ran a virus scan to make sure his computer wasn't infected. Then, he petrified again. He couldn't understand what kind of strange train of thought this was.

"Where is everyone?" Ye Xiu urged.

"I'll help you run the guild?" Lan He asked.

"That's right!"

"Why?" Lan He was extremely curious about this question.

"Because you're bored!" Ye Xiu's answer made Lan He want to bang his head against the wall.

"That's not it!" Lan He typed quickly, "You know my situation very well, yet you still want me to help you run the guild?"

"That's right!" Ye Xiu replied.

"What do you mean, 'that's right'? What's your train of thought?"

"Look," Ye Xiu began to analyze for Lan He, "Our guild is newly established, and they're all newbies. They don't understand a lot of basic things, so they really need an experienced veteran like you to help them."

"I'm an undercover!" Lan He emphasized. Combining this line with the current scene, Lan He felt that he would probably be the most inexplicable undercover in history.

"Yeah, but you're at least an undercover who's been thoroughly exposed," Ye Xiu said.

Lan He was stunned. At this point, he suddenly understood a little of what this great god was thinking.

This... seems like a subtle feeling of opening the skylight and speaking frankly!
