177 Chapter 177 - The System’s Misplaced Money (1/2)
The man before Gu Fei was Sakurazaka Moony, the founder of the Forever in Flowers Guild. When it came to men, Sakurazaka Moony was definitely the most detestable sort that he had encountered. What actually angered Gu Fei more was that this deplorable man looked more innocuous and cuter than Royal God Call.
Gu Fei's presence made Sakurazaka Moony anxious. In his eyes, a man who could mix into a pure women guild like fish in water would be akin to a legendary love god; such a fierce competitor was something he did not want to face. This was why he had blabbered on upon seeing Gu Fei. Gu Fei had yet to say a word, but Sakurazaka Moony's voice already sounded his insecurity and uncertainty.
Gu Fei looked at him then at Vast Lushness, not knowing what to say.
Vast Lushness had been in this situation many times in the past as a beautiful gamer. Standing up, she unperturbedly said to Gu Fei, ”I'm returning the stall to you.” With that, he received the system notification for the stall's transfer of ownership.
Sakurazaka Moony gawked at the two of them, ”You two know each other?”
Gu Fei nodded his head. He was now behind the stall, while Vast Lushness was back on the street.
”You're too much! Are you trying to catch all the babes for yourself?!” Sakurazaka Moony angrily asked.
Gu Fei lowered his head. He felt that answering this man's question was the same as stooping to his level.
”I'm leaving!” Vast Lushness had been treating Sakurazaka Moony like air all this while. Waving goodbye to Gu Fei, she hurriedly left. Sakurazaka Moony immediately chased after her and continued to pester her, ”Babe, what's your name? My name's Sakurazaka Moony. You can call me Zakie!”
Gu Fei hurriedly explained to the merchants on his left and right, ”I don't know that guy.”
”Mhm!” The two players vaguely acknowledged Gu Fei's words. They were currently feeling nauseated at the sight unfolding before them.
Vast Lushness finally exploded, ”You're NOISY. Stop following me!” A lady experiencing the adoration of a male player would feel honored in other circumstances, but it was a different case altogether if the admirer was someone like Sakurazaka Moony.
Sakurazaka Moony remained persistent, though. Few beautiful women played Parallel World, and a natural beauty like Vast Lushness was even harder to find. Thus, Sakurazaka Moony was not planning to give up on wooing her, unless his skull got bashed in beyond recovery. ”Where do you wanna go, babe? I'll accompany you... You're from Yueye City, so you must be unfamiliar here. I'll take you for a tour! There's a lake with great view on the outskirt of Yunduan City; wanna go there and have a look?” Sakurazaka Moony smile lasciviously. Every player in Yunduan City knew of what people mainly did over by Yunjiao Lakeside.
”Scram! SCRAM!” Vast Lushness took out her healing staff and drove Sakurazaka Moony away with it.
It seemed that Sakurazaka Moony had the knack for annoying a lady, as he actually drove the Priest Vast Lushness into using her staff like a rod to beat him up. He was even cheekily snickering as he dodged her staff, ”Where are we going? Is it Yunjiao Lakeside?”
Vast Lushness went mad at this! She would not even bat an eye when she killed people. Right now, she wished to shred Sakurazaka Moony into pieces. But she was a Priest, so she would not be able to kill him even if her level was the same as him.”Just kill me already!” She screamed in frustration instead as she waved her staff viciously.
”Why would I do that? I wanna protect you. It's quite dangerous for a Priest like you to roam Yunduan City alone. After all, there are many bad men, especially lewd ones, around here!” Sakurazaka Moony clearly did not intend to retaliate at her, yet he was so brazen that everyone was sweating in anxiety!
Vast Lushness tried to flee, but Sakurazaka Moony caught up to her with his faster speed than Gu Fei's, ”Shall I take your hand? You can move faster that way.”
Vast Lushness chose to ignore him. Her eyes stared fixedly ahead as if she was on her own.
Sakurazaka Moony was unfazed by this and continued to walk beside her.
”Bro, you're so persistent!” Someone sighed in admiration to Sakurazaka Moony.
Sakurazaka Moony smiled as he stopped walking and said loudly, ”Never take 'no' for an answer! Never give up!” He then hurried forward, leaving a very flabbergasted crowd behind.
Gu Fei was the most stunned among all these people as he personally knew the two. Vast Lushness was a very vicious player, yet her non-combat job class prevented her from duking it out with Sakurazaka Moony. As for Sakurazaka Moony, he would never kill a lady even with Vast Lushness' personality. His audacious declaration just now was a testament to how thick-skinned he was.
Vast Lushness, you've finally met your match today, Gu Fei sighed to himself, unsure if this meeting was a blessing or a curse.
It was definitely a curse for Gu Fei, as Sakurazaka Moony had virtually disrupted his business. Vast Lushness would have bought four to five pieces of equipment from Gu Fei had she not been chased off by that detestable man.
That scoundrel! Gu Fei muttered to himself. Taking out his coin purse, he counted his money once more. Counting money again and again was a common act to everyone when he or she wished for the money to magically increase in quantity. Naturally, that was something that would never come true. Nothing had changed, as his coin purse still contained only 43 gold coins.
Sigh! Gu Fei dejectedly exhaled as he reached into his dimensional pocket, trying to search for some loose coins. This search actually caused him to freeze up. When his hand came out of his dimensional pocket, Gu Fei was holding a dark red coin purse.
The person who had designed Parallel World's dimensional pocket must be a fan of Doraemon. When players reached into their dimensional pockets, they could only rely on their sense of touch. Fortunately, the items could be sorted into slots inside the dimensional pocket. As long as the players arranged their items properly, they could reach into the designated spots and retrieve the items they needed.
