155 Chapter 155 - Process and Resul (2/2)

There were of course some players who claimed to value the process more, but the majority of them were the kind that would spout phrases like ”Gaming is about having fun” or ”Play the game instead of being played by the game.” These players were usually mediocre players who simply wanted to act high and mighty in front of those who valued the result more with their 'holier than thou attitude'. Besides these hypocrites, meeting someone like Gu Fei who truly and strongly subscribed to this mentality was rare.

Gu Fei merely wanted to PvP, so the result and process were the same to him. As for the 'result' that the other players valued, it often meant experience, items, or similar rewards that Gu Fei cared the least.

No more words were exchanged between Gu Fei and Brother Assist after that, and the two went their separate ways eventually. Thus, all the members of Young Master's Elite wasted their time singly before making their way to the teleportation array and into the 'changing room' when their next match was about to begin.

Since the opposing mercenary group only had five members, this group of experts did not bother discussing about any sort of tactics beforehand and decided on the spot to take the enemies head on. Hence, everyone only focused on emphasizing to Gu Fei that he must limit his exposure. ”Don't use AOE spells or fight against two targets. There are only five opponents this time, so you are forbidden to fight more than one,” Royal God Call and the rest repeatedly reminded Gu Fei.

”I already said that you guys did not need to show up for this match!” Gu Fei could only say this in his frustration.

”No way!” everyone collectively said. So far, only Gu Fei and Young Master Han participated in the first match and all but Gu Fei were used as cannon fodders in the second match. No matter how much they valued the result, the process should not be entirely boring either. It was unknown if they had discussed ganging up on Gu Fei for this matter beforehand but everyone insisted: ”One each! Four of us will take care of one opponent each while Brother Assist and Young Master will take care of the last one.”

”Fine!” Gu Fei reluctantly acquiesced.

Something unexpected happened, though; only three out of the five members of the opposing mercenary group had shown up for the match.

”How should we split them up?” Brother Assist asked.

Gu Fei, Royal God Call, and Sword Demon exchanged smiles before saying, ”It's first come, first served basis.”

”Screw this!” War Without Wounds roared in annoyance. Doing that would clearly become a contest of speed and, as a Warrior, he would never have a chance against these three speed freaks.

As for Brother Assist and Young Master Han, they were not really disappointed to not participate in this match with them having non-combat job classes.

As the timer turned zero, everyone was teleported straight into the PvP arena. Only nine players were participating in this match, so they got the map for ten individuals and below. Once they spawned into the map, the six immediately spotted their three opponents.

”Charge!” Royal God Call shouted with utmost confidence. Although he had traded his Windchaser's Boots to Svelte Dancer, the pair he got from her, Boots of the Nimble Cloud, was merely 'movement +2' off. Moreover, Royal God Call had the Archer job class that benefited the most from the Agility stat, so his speed was currently on par with Gu Fei despite not going for an all-Agility build.

With that shout of his, Gu Fei and Sword Demon dashed forward. Royal God Call was about to make his move too when his feet were lifted off the ground. Looking backward, he saw that War Without Wounds had picked him up. ”What are you doing?!” Royal God Call asked, dumbfounded.

”Since I can't snatch one, I'm just going to drag someone with me,” War Without Wounds flashed him a devious smile.

”F*ck! Why must it be me?!” Royal God Call flailed about in his attempt to wriggle his way out of War Without Wounds' vice grip. Sadly, even if he managed to hit War Without Wounds with his arms flailing around up there, he could only inflict a limited amount of damage to the Warrior.

War Without Wounds swung Royal God Call about for a bit to disorient him before answering with a question, ”Do you think I would rather grab Miles? Do I look suicidal to you?”

”Sword Demon! There's still him!” Royal God Call moaned feebly.

”It's too late now,” War Without Wounds used his free hand to point afar, ”Look. They're already upon them.”

War Without Wounds placed Royal God Call back to the ground yet maintained his hands on the latter's shoulders. A taller middle-aged man and a smaller young boy stood on an elevated piece of land and watched Gu Fei and Sword Demon flurry their weapons toward the three opponents. Royal God Call could feel tears streaking down his cheeks.

No tension could be felt from this scene. To repay Sword Demon sacrificing himself for him yesterday, Gu Fei gave up his kill to Sword Demon. Young Master's Elite mercenary group easily breezed through the third round with this win.

The guild versus guild tournament was up next. Gu Fei's interest in the guild matches had long surpassed his interest in the mercenary PvP matches for several reasons. First, he could fight more opponents in the guild matches. Second, Amethyst Rebirth never had any battle strategy, which pretty much gave Gu Fei free reign to rampage across the PvP arena and kill whenever he wanted. This was what Gu Fei had been looking forward to all this while, albeit he had yet to kill an opponent that could put up a fight—well, maybe Sakurazuka Moony could count as one in a way. However, the two would never be able to best each other and would only end up in a stalemate given their respective fortes, so Sakurazaka Moony technically did not count as one of Gu Fei's PvP conquests in this guild versus guild tournament.

The third round of the mercenary PvP tournament ended way too fast and too early, so Gu Fei decided to pick up 'Bounty Mission' to pass the time. When it was time for the guild versus guild tournament, he hurried over to the teleportation array by the Main Hall of Guilds.

When he entered the 'changing room', he saw that all the Amethyst Rebirth's ladies had a somber expression on their faces once more. Could they have met another scabrous guild? As Gu Fei was thinking of this, July started introducing today's opposing guild when she saw that everyone had arrived.

Amethyst Rebirth had finally drawn a big lot, as it was currently up against Yunduan City's number two guild, Carouse.The main character in the Legend of the Condor Heroes, which is part of the Condors Trilogy.

What the author essentially means in this is that no one in the online gaming world can become renowned by being loyal to just one game.
