253 Chapter 253 - The Relationship between Teacher and Studen (1/2)

After separating with Xi Xiaotian, Gu Fei took his time doing 'Bounty Mission' while he ignored his students' pestering.

When Gu Fei got online today, he received the system notification about failing his 'Bounty Mission' for Nightmare of Death due to the latter successfully erasing his PK value. Gu Fei's consecutive completion streak had thus been broken again, making him wonder when he would attain the two-hundred-consecutive-completion achievement for 'Bounty Mission'.

The street Gu Fei took to head toward the Bounty Assignment Hall was even blocked by some people.

As more and more players joined the game every day, all sorts of trends would start among the players. These players that formed a blockade before Gu Fei today was precisely one of these trends that had taken Yunduan City by storm recently.

Everyone knew that dying with PK points on one's head was an easy way to drop equipment, so some people were now picking up 'Bounty Mission' for the purpose of looting the target's equipment with their friends. It was an evil thing to do, and this was the first time Gu Fei had faced such a situation. Although he usually did 'Bounty Mission', it had been quite some time since he had PK value on him. Now, he just happened to run into these players who were looking to entertain themselves with this despicable activity over the weekend.

A PK value of over 10 points! He was bound to drop lots of items when he died! Quite a few people happily took Gu Fei's 'Bounty Mission' and rushed to find him.

The players immediately used Appraisal on Gu Fei once they saw him. They could not get any details about his black, mage robe, and Gu Fei's sword was inside his dimensional pocket, but his pair of boots was enough to cause these men to drool.

After checking his equipment, they eagerly shouted toward Gu Fei, ”Stop right there! 'Bounty Mission'!”

They had copied this style from Gu Fei – the top expert in the business of bounty hunting.

Gu Fei felt stunned. Not knowing the real intention of these players before him, he treated them as players who were earnestly doing 'Bounty Mission'. Gu Fei did not want to make things difficult for these players who shared his passion, so he decided against fighting them and turned tail, instead.

”Quickly give chase!” The players yelled at one another as Gu Fei slowly disappeared from their sight.

”F*ck! He's too fast. His boots are really amazing!” someone sighed.

”D*mn. I told you to slay him directly; why did you have to warn him like that?” someone said, feeling discontented.

”Let's just chase after him. He can't possibly clear off his PK value so soon.” With that, they continued their pursuit of Gu Fei.

Gu Fei kept doing his 'Bounty Mission', occasionally catching glimpses of some people hot on his heels. Since Gu Fei's movement speed was too fast for them, whenever these men arrived at his latest coordinates, they only ever saw the shadow of his back. To make matters worse, when they finally caught up to Gu Fei, he happened to just finish off his target. As the men rushed forward to attack him, Gu Fei smiled brightly at them before disappearing in a white flash.

”Wait… What just happened?” Scratching their heads in puzzlement, they continued to chase after Gu Fei's coordinates. Gu Fei eventually erased all his PK value. Meanwhile, the men ended up running around breathlessly without even managing to get within thirty meters of Gu Fei.

Without his PK value, Gu Fei happily came up to them and said, ”We are born of the same roots; why must there be enmity between us?”

What Gu Fei meant to say was that they were all players doing 'Bounty Mission', so there was no need for them to antagonize one another. The players, meanwhile, came to an erroneous realization, ”F*ck! So you're also in this line of work. No wonder your PK value was high.”

Since he's a colleague in a sense, we'll just put this matter behind us! This was what the men were thinking inside as they smiled at Gu Fei, ”Let's work together if there's a chance.”

This was just something they had said out of courtesy. Since anything the players gained would be distributed among the party members, they would usually do this sort of activity together with their close friends; adding a stranger into the group would simply result in the pie being divided further.

Gu Fei, for his part, was thinking that 'Bounty Mission' was doable alone, so he could not fathom why players would need to work together for it. But since they invited him, he felt obliged to nod in response.

And so just like that, both parties reached an understanding, although the reality was far from the truth. The bunch of men could not help but think, He's truly well-versed in this matter; immediately accepting our offer once cooperation is broached. Really, he's someone with no underlying intention!

With that, the two parties went their separate ways. The message notification of Gu Fei had been ringing nonstop due to his students urging him to hurry.

Ignoring the incessant pinging sound was a skill he had honed after joining Amethyst Rebirth. He no longer feared receiving many messages and merely skimmed through them before replying: ”Coming.”

Over by Yunliao Farm outside Yunduan City, the students who had split into two groups were having a hard time grinding. Yunliao Farm was considered as a hellish grinding map of Yunduan City, and with the increase in the player base, it naturally continued to be such a place.

Fortunately, there was a balance in the high- and low-level players of Ultimate Class 3 Guild. With such a group composition, they were able to bully some of the grinding players in the farm and even managed to claim two grinding spots for themselves by winning duels. Dueling had become an informal way to settle disputes over grinding spots between players in Yunduan City.

However, the situation had become more troublesome at the current stage of the game. The experienced gamers that had joined Parallel World after its official release would often look for veteran players to back them up, just like how the entire Ultimate Class 3 depended on its highest level member, Ah Fa, for any fight over a territory in Yunliao Farm. Right now, the party that the students had previously bullied found a powerful backer – a level 40 player. Of course, the said player was more than capable of bullying Ah Fa in return....

There was no need to elaborate on the duel's outcome. Just like how Ah Fa bullied level 20 players, the opponent this time around thoroughly suppressed Ah Fa with a few moves. The Ultimate Class 3's members ran to other spots after their grinding spot had been snatched away, but the result was always the same. Ah Fa would bully lower level players, only to be bullied back when a higher level player appeared.

By the time Gu Fei arrived at the location, Ah Fa had already been stabbed half dead by a level 40 Thief. All the students were glumly sighing by the side of the field as they severely rebuked Ah Fa for being useless.
