98 Chapter 98 - Begin Research (1/2)
”So that's how it is!” Seeing Royal God Call's lewd expression, Gu Fei was of course unwilling to be labeled as the same sort of person.
Luo Luo continued speaking, ”That's why our attitude toward you has changed. As for you staying in our guild, that boils down to whether you're happy to be part of it or not. We'll let you decide on that. If it's me, I won't stay in a guild if I'm unhappy.”
”If that's the case, then I guess I'll stay!” Gu Fei smiled. Deciding whether to leave the guild or not based on his happiness was ludicrous, as he had never taken to heart something like being a part of a guild. Actually, he had never expected to find himself socializing in a guild and playing the game with a bunch of people. Since he felt that it would not affect him much, he would just stay in Amethyst Rebirth. In any case, Gu Fei only wanted to leave the guild after he had seen how unhappy the ladies were with him in it. Now that his departure would instead garner their ire, the easygoing Gu Fei would naturally not mind staying.
”He he! That's much better,” Luo Luo giggled.
”I'll take my leave first,” Gu Fei smilingly said as he got up, pointing at Will-low, ”This lady here is the one I'm planning to introduce.”
”Hello! My IGN's Will-low,” Will-low genially introduced herself as she walked over.
”I'm Royal God Call—ah—f*ck, Miles! What're you doing? Let me go!” Royal God Call was about to approach the seated Luo Luo, but he was strong-armed by Gu Fei into leaving. However, an Archer's Strength was higher than that of a Mage. No matter how much force Gu Fei used, he could not make the struggling Royal God Call to even turn around. In the end, Royal God Call managed to free himself from Gu Fei's grasp.
”I want your help in researching about Mages,” Gu Fei told Royal God Call.
”Oh? Just ask me if you've got anything you don't understand,” Royal God Call announced loudly; nobody knew who he wanted to hear that.
”Let's first find a place to fight monsters and study!” Gu Fei suggested.
”Ah…” Royal God Call looked at Gu Fei before looking at the two ladies, as if he was making a truly difficult decision. Finally, he walked toward Will-low and said, ”I'm leaving with Miles first. Let's keep in touch!”
Will-low nodded her head.
Royal God Call followed Gu Fei out of the tavern and quickly asked, ”Where did you meet so many beauties?” He began to count with his fingers, ”There's one, two, three… I've met three ladies that seem to be pretty chummy with you. Quick, share to me how.”
”We simply know one another. We're not that 'chummy',” Gu Fei said.
”How humble! Miles, you're really humble,” Royal God Call complimented, continuing, ”Tell me how you get to know them, then.”
Gu Fei nodded his head and suddenly threw two gold coins to the ground, shouting, ”Hey, ladies!”
The two female players walking in front of them turned around reflexively.
”You dropped your gold coins,” Gu Fei pointed to the ground.
The two ladies looked to the ground and shook their heads, ”Those aren't ours.”
”No way. I saw these gold coins drop from your bodies,” Gu Fei claimed.
”That's not possible!” The two were dumbfounded. Their gold coins were inside their dimensional pockets, so it was impossible for them to accidentally drop anything.
”Is that so? My mistake, then.” Gu Fei walked forward and picked up the two gold coins.
The two ladies continued to fix their gazes on him, so Gu Fei asked, ”Shall I share these with you two?”
The ladies hurriedly shook their heads. Gu Fei then placed the two gold coins back inside his pocket and strutted off. When they were a bit far from the ladies, he said to Royal God Call, ”See that? That's how I get to know the ladies.”
Royal God Call was speechless.
”If you want to get to know the ladies, you should strike up a conversation with them. Speaking with them is considered as getting to know them, right? It's like asking others 'What time is it now?' But you'll need to invest a little; if those ladies were audacious, they would pocket the gold coins then and there,” Gu Fei taught Royal God Call.
”They're definitely not audacious, but you've looked like a fool,” Royal God Call retorted.
”That's just an example of how it's done. I wasn't after the results. You should try doing it when you get the chance! It's just basic knowledge,” Gu Fei explained.
”That's how you usually carry yourself?” Royal God Call asked suspiciously, ”Aren't you a teacher?”
”So what if I'm a teacher? If you, students, can have your puppy loves, why can't we, the teachers?” Gu Fei countered.
”Teacher… I think you're not the least bit honest,” Royal God Call muttered.
With that, Gu Fei stopped pulling Royal God Call's leg. Now that the two had exited Yunduan City, he seriously asked Royal God Call, ”Where's the best grinding map for Mages?”
”Yunwu Basin. The monsters there are slow and have low magic resistance,” Royal God Call answered.
”How do we get there?” Gu Fei asked.
