28 Chapter 28 - Fireball joins a guild? (1/2)

”The heck! Who the hell are you?!” The person yelled while rushing at Gu Fei.

”I just told you, I'm Thousand Miles Drunk,” Gu Fei calmly replied, and then he realized something. The person's shout just now sounded rather high pitched and the voice clearly contained a hint of sharpness. Gu Fei carefully examined the person's face once more and was instantly taken aback, ”You're a woman?”

The person was wearing a full-body, heavy armor, but under the helmet was clearly a woman's face. Her beauty was apparent, even though she was currently gnashing her teeth. The woman reached into her side pocket upon hearing his words. Gu Fei heard a whooshing sound and then a huge axe materialized in front of his very eyes. However, the truly terrifying fact was that she was holding it with only one hand, while her other hand was poised like a panther ready to strike. It was as if she could reach out and grab Gu Fei's neck at any given time, hoisting him up and cleaving him into pieces with her weapon.

”Got a problem with that?” the lady produced a low growl. She had a versatile voice, allowing her to change pitch from high to low and vice versa.

”None at all!” Gu Fei blinked. It was undeniable that the woman looked powerful and intimidating.

”What do you mean, then?” The lady lifted the huge axe and hung it right above Gu Fei's forehead.

”That I'm very thankful! Grateful that you helped carry my sack up to here. Honestly, carrying it takes a lot of effort for me,” Gu Fei said.

The woman showed some degree of shock at his statement.

”You know what? Take this as a gift! I don't really need it anyway,” Gu Fei tossed the burlap sack over by the lady's feet.

”Who wants your stuff?” the woman asked sarcastically.

”I've got something on, so I'll take my leave,” Gu Fei waved his hand and hurriedly walked away.

”Hey… You!” Gu Fei had long since disappeared from the corner of the street that they were in by the time she shouted these words. The speed that the level 30 Mage Gu Fei had after pumping all his stat points into Agility was nothing to scoff at.

The lady mulled something over for a bit before she lowered her head. Finally, she could no longer resist the temptation and picked up the sack.

Her curiosity got the better of her and she opened it. ”I'm only taking a look. It's not like I want any of his stuff,” the lady mumbled to herself. Her decision turned into firm resolve after seeing what was actually inside.

”What?!”

”What the?!”

”What are these things?!”

As the woman searched through the sack, she could not stop herself from muttering the same words. While Gu Fei's sack contained many things, their value was actually very little. Gu Fei was not an idiot after all; the items with worth were already placed into his dimensional pocket.

The lady spent quite some time searching through the burlap sack, finding only countless useless loots, such as a pile of bricks, a bunch of rocks, a single glass ball, and a rotten wooden stick. The items that the players had deemed worthless could all be found inside Gu Fei's burlap sack.

In the end, the lady came to the conclusion that she had been trolled. Perhaps someone had recorded the humorous manner in which she stuck her head into the sack and searched through the items. She might find herself as the butt of everyone's jokes in a few days once the video got uploaded on to the forums. Thinking of that possibility, she heavily slammed her huge axe onto the ground, causing pieces of concrete to fly all over. A brutal Warrior paired with an equally savage weapon. That strike just now was carried out with extreme graveness.

Thousand Miles Drunk is it? You better not let me see you again, the lady thought with fury.

”What a real pity about my sack! Achooo!” Gu Fei suddenly sneezed as he was thinking of how much he missed having his self-made burlap sack. At the same moment, he arrived outside the tavern. He quickly rubbed his nose and pushed open the wooden door.

There were numerous system-operated taverns in Yunduan City except for Ray's Bar. Since it was a sprawling city, many bars were spread all over it to accommodate all the players, as well as to better earn their money.

The tavern Gu Fei had just entered was one of the most popular establishments in the area. Since it was the closest to the city gate most players were grinding, it was naturally everyone's first choice to rest at. The tavern was open from day to night, so the sounds of players' conversations filled the entire establishment twenty-four seven.

Fireball, who had already grabbed a good seat, stood up once he saw Gu Fei enter the tavern, ”Drunk bro, over here!”

”Yo, What's-His-Name!” Gu Fei cheerfully greeted back.

Fireball felt dejected. He had even taken the effort to address Gu Fei properly, yet here he was calling him What's-His-Name. It was no wonder the players around them threw him a disdainful look, thinking that he was the sort of person who stuck around the pros to leech off them.

However, he could do nothing about this as it was all due to his gaming account name. He would still be a laughingstock had Gu Fei called him Fireball. Every time such a conundrum would pop up, the thought of dying would fill his heart.

”Sit! What're you standing there for?” Gu Fei had already taken a seat and was patting the table to catch the attention of the momentarily frozen Fireball.

”How's life? Found a guild yet?” Gu Fei understood what he was feeling right now, so he tried providing a new topic to snap him out of his depressing thoughts.

Fireball indeed sat down once he heard the question and replied, ”Nope! Although I did see one I'm interested in, so I'm trying to find a way to get in.”
