207 Chapter 207 - PvP in a VR Setting (1/2)
Killing off a man just because his foot had been stepped on; such a farfetched yet tyrannical reason was not very convincing to others. The quick-witted players at Ray's Bar could naturally tell that Gu Fei was just looking for a reason to eliminate the man.
Furthermore, Gu Fei's current execution of his moves was far more vicious than his execution of them before. With his attack connecting to the target better and Silver Moon's lackey being weaker than the guild leader moments ago, Gu Fei managed to finish the man off with that one strike powered by Twin Incineration.
”How domineering!” all the leaders exclaimed in unison. Still, they could not fathom Gu Fei's reason for slaying the man. Was he intending to kill everyone here? Suspecting Gu Fei, they kept their distance from him and took their weapons from their dimensional pockets to respond in kind if the need arose.
However, Gu Fei merely stowed away his sword after slaying the man, waved his hand toward Young Master Han, bade the Amethyst Rebirth ladies goodbye, and even flashed Drifting a smile, showing everyone good etiquette.
”Hey, hold up!” Svelte Dancer moved to stop Gu Fei from leaving, but she was too late as he had already disappeared in a flash of white light.
”Ah! Did he fly off?” Everyone looked up the ceiling in confusion, sharing a sense of loss with one another after.
Young Master Han took pity on them and decided to offer them a piece of information, ”Distinguished guests, that rascal's name is Thousand Miles Drunk. I wish you all the best at befriending him!”
All the leaders felt that such a conclusion to this matter was already enough. Svelte Dancer's piercing glare made them uncomfortable to ask further about the Mage, so they just opted to leave the premise and do their individual sleuthing after. Those leaders who were chatting with Drifting also suggested finding a more private place to continue their conversation. Being able to converse with Parallel World's number one Mage Drifting, personally witnessing the Insta-kill Mage's fighting prowess, and managing to acquire the Insta-kill Mage's IGN... These leaders deemed their trip here today as very worthwhile. Truly, their 100 gold coins had been spent well.
All these leaders had come to Ray's Bar in a hurry for the 'meet and greet', and now that they were leaving, they did it quite reluctantly. Eventually, the only ones who were still in the bar were the few inquisitive patrons who had stayed to watch the whole affair, the Amethyst Rebirth ladies who were staring with hostility at two individuals, and the said two individuals were Young Master Han and Brother Assist. With the crowd of leaders gone, the two men left the corner that they were boxed in moments ago and randomly found a table to occupy.
”Oi!” Svelte Dancer discourteously came up to them, ”Why did you tell them his name?”
”Heh... Are you afraid of them poaching Miles?” Young Master Han asked as he glanced at her.
”Of course! Miles is a member of our guild,” Svelte Dancer seriously answered.
”Relax. All they know is his IGN; how are they gonna poach him with just that?” Young Master Han asked.
”Why would they not be able to? This is an online game, Mister. Names are like phone numbers; wouldn't he be harassed to death at this rate?” Svelte Dancer replied with a question.
”Everyone in Parallel World knows your name, so how come you're not being harassed to death?” Young Master Han asked.
”Oh!” Svelte Dancer finally got it as she mumbled, ”Miles has also set his account in a way that random people can't add him as a friend, right?”
The question caused Young Master Han's confident smile to turn rigid. Gu Fei might be an exceptional player, but he was not as prominent as the players ranked high on the leaderboards, so there would be no need for him to set a restriction to his 'friend request' setting. Since Young Master Han and the ilk had the habit of doing just that, he somehow assumed that Gu Fei would also do the same. With that thought in his mind, Young Master Han hurriedly sent Gu Fei a message, ”Have you set your account in a way that random players can't add you as a friend?”
”I did! I did!” Gu Fei replied, ”Why is everyone asking me this?” It seemed that Svelte Dancer had also asked him the same question.
Young Master Han sighed in relief, not knowing if he should laugh or cry at the moment. This charade today might not have caused any fight, yet it still had been fraught with danger at every corner until the very end. ”My brain has worked overtime on this,” Young Master Han muttered to himself, gesturing at Ray for two bottles of liquor.
Wonder how things are going for those guys who are still busy at work… Young Master Han thought to himself. He then sent Sword Demon, Royal God Call, and War Without Wounds a message each. The plan to hunt down Silver Moon was naturally something he had ordered them to do.
”I'm looking for an opportunity to strike,” Sword Demon quickly replied. He already had his Frost Memories in hand and was just waiting for a chance to strike his target. He had been tailing Silver Moon since the latter left the spawn point. He was not like Svelte Dancer or Gu Fei that possessed high Attack Power. In fact, he might even lose in terms of Attack Power to the well-equipped Thieves out there.
