120 Chapter 120 - The Lovestruck Luo Luo (2/2)
Actually, Gu Fei also had the extraordinary accessory, Eddie's Emblem, on him. However, he did not usually equip it on him since the emblem was related to his identity as Fugitive 27149. About a month had passed since that previous incident involving Fugitive 27149, yet many players would still talk about him during their free time. This was because nobody had yet to surpass Fugitive 27149's deeds even at present.
Luo Luo closely inspected the three pieces of equipment. After pondering for a long time, she suddenly grabbed Gu Fei by the arm to pull him to a side.
”What is it?” Gu Fei asked bewilderedly.
”Follow me,” Luo Luo replied as she forcibly pulled on to him.
”Is something the matter?” Gu Fei asked wonderingly as he followed her.
Meanwhile, the ladies behind were animatedly discussing about Luo Luo's action, ”Is Sis Luo Luo lovestruck again?”
”Unlikely. It's not like they only met today; she would've long been lovestruck if that had been the case.”
”You're so silly! Have you forgotten what Sis Luo Luo said before? People being lovestruck in a MMO… Half the time, it's actually them being lovestruck with the player's equipment!”
”Oh, no! Miles' equipment managed to trigger the 'lovestruck' trait of Sis Luo Luo!”
And over to where Gu Fei and Luo Luo were... Luo Luo dragged Gu Fei until they reached the canopy of a big tree. Only when she was sure that they were out of earshot of the others that she spoke, ”You are that Close Combat Mage, aren't you?!”
”Who said so?” Gu Fei countered with a question.
”You must be, with how powerful your three pieces of equipment are,” Luo Luo said confidently.
”Since you are so sure, then I suppose I am really him!” Gu Fei expressed his helplessness at her allegation. He had long grown tired of this question. What if he really was the Close Combat Mage? His days as Fugitive 27149 were long over and he no longer wanted his present actions to be dictated and restricted by his past persona. In short, he had withdrawn himself from Jianghu; a guy who still clung to his past identity did not seem to be a farsighted person anyway.
”Are you him or not?!” Luo Luo resolutely demanded, wanting to confirm it once and for all. She promised, ”I won't tell anyone, not even July!”
”Yes, I am!” Gu Fei clenched his teeth and answered. There, I said it. What is she planning to do to me next?
In the end, Luo Luo did not do anything to Gu Fei. She just grinned cheerily while staring at Gu Fei, which made the latter all jittery inside.
”She's definitely lovestruck!” some of the ladies from afar said as they indicated the grinning face of Luo Luo, saying, ”Just look at the way she's smiling.”
”Don't look at me like that. It's really dangerous,” Gu Fei said seriously.
”What should I do, then?”
”Let's just resume our level grinding!” Gu Fei suggested sincerely.
”Let's go, then!” Luo Luo beamingly said as she walked toward the others.
What in the world is going on?! Gu Fei asked to himself. With such a flirtatious smile, is she still the same calm and composed Luo Luo?
The party's level grinding started once more. Gu Fei made changes to their grinding strategy; from now on, he would be in charge of luring the monsters while the ladies would be responsible for attacking them at Gu Fei's signal, with him delivering the finishing blow to the monsters afterward.
Based on Gu Fei and Ice Glaze's action of attracting the monsters' aggro just then, it could be deduced that his Spell Damage was three times higher than Ice Glaze's. Since Ice Glaze was the one with the highest Spell Damage among the ladies, a powerhouse like Gu Fei was essential for them to level grind in this level 50 grinding map.
If the 'monster luring' technique had been the only requirement to grind in this level 50 grinding map, then Royal God Call would have long brought the ladies to fool around here. He would not have needed to draw a circle or device a special positioning for the ladies. After all, Royal God Call was above Gu Fei in terms of monster luring capability.
Gu Fei charged rashly into a herd of monsters as he casted the Fireball spell with his left hand and slashed his sword with his right hand, causing seven or eight monsters to follow him back to the ladies. ”Get ready!” he told the ladies loudly.
The ladies responded to him by gamely lifting their magic staves. Meanwhile, Luo Luo casted Heal on to Gu Fei who had yet drop even a bit of his HP as she simultaneously winked at him.
Gu Fei nearly fell down as his leg slipped a bit.
Luo Luo must have gone crazy… Just what kind of sickness is she having? Gu Fei densely pondered to himself.
