251 Chapter 251 - A well-rewarded effort? (2/2)

It was the same in a game. Those with conscience would be able to easily return average equipment that they had casually picked up, but it would be difficult if the equipment in question was something as exceedingly rare as Lasting Sentence and Dying Breath; there might even be people who would betray their friends for these items, much less if the owner of such items was someone who could not even hope to beat Gu Fei for eight generations. More importantly, this was just a matter of returning lost property to its owner. In the eyes of these experts, the items were obtained by Gu Fei through PvP, so it was clearly an effort well-rewarded! Even someone as upright as Sword Demon thought so. The entire gaming community would certainly share this sentiment when it came to such matters; Gu Fei's thought process was really too foreign and ridiculous to gamers.

”Who knows who originally owned those items? Are you planning to ask Nightmare of Death about that?” Brother Assist asked.

”That's a possible option…” Gu Fei considered.

Brother Assist was speechless for quite some time before finally saying, ”And if they belong to Nightmare of Death?”

Brother Assist thought Gu Fei would struggle over this question, yet the latter was apparently more decisive than that since he immediately replied, ”I would naturally take them for myself.”

Everyone was truly speechless now. While any gamer would think Gu Fei was being pedantic, his way of handling this issue was truly the most morally upright, so these few experts with Gu Fei felt somewhat embarrassed to persuade him otherwise.

”Ask Nightmare of Death, then! Let's see if he would tell you,” Brother Assist said in the end.

”That will be quite difficult. When I got online today, his PK value was already cleared off. If he is someone who can easily be found, the whole city will certainly be in uproar to chase after him!” Gu Fei said.

When Gu Fei had first found out Nightmare of Death's IGN and his vile deeds, Brother Assist had posted it on the forums, causing others to say that Nightmare of Death was that one person that they would pursue for life.

This was one of the reasons Nightmare of Death and company had abruptly halted their operations in Yunduan City. In the end, no one had hunted for them. Although a city in-game was nowhere as large as a city in reality, its population was still over hundreds of thousands. Searching for one player was truly a difficult task. Having just the person's IGN did not help the situation, either. Without a picture or a location, looking for him was as good as finding a needle in the haystack. This was how the matter had been left unsettled and how Nightmare of Death had managed to continue living his in-game life in relative peace. He was even at level 40 before his fight with Gu Fei.

”Let Brother Assist create a thread on the forums to get the equipment's owner to contact Gu Fei personally,” Royal God Call suggested.

”A lot of 'owners' would surely be turning up,” Young Master Han said.

”Get them to state the equipment's traits, then! Who else but the real owner will know of these?” Royal God Call said.

”We do. Nightmare of Death and his gang will be able to do so as well… You youngsters truly have yet to experience the world in its entirety; you're so naïve!” Young Master Han mocked Royal God Call before continuing, ”Or maybe you're hoping Miles will do that? That way, you can have someone pretend to be the 'owner' of Lasting Sentence and Dying Breath?”

”That's so shameless and despicable!” everyone exclaimed.

”That's what he said! I never even thought of that!” Royal God Call indignantly pointed at Young Master Han.

”We know.” Gu Fei ruffled Royal God Call's hair, ”He's the only one who could possibly think of such a method this quickly.”

”May God have mercy on this evil man, so he won't head straight to hell upon his death,” War Without Wounds pretended to pray for Young Master Han.

”Tsk! I was just trying to tell him that finding the original owner is an extremely daunting task. It's better to exchange the items for more liquor and enjoy yourself,” Young Master Han said disdainfully.

”I'll just find the solution to this myself!” Gu Fei declared as he vacated his seat.小白 means Small White. It is also a more 'affectionate' way of calling someone an idiot. His friends are practically saying that White Leaf Plumage is a moron.Chinese idiom that means 'not giving up until the very end.'
