270 Chapter 270 - Is there a need to go to such extent? (1/2)

The system would only give the rewards after the guild versus guild tournament ended, which created a chance for a mercenary group to disband before being awarded its dues. It turned out that this was what these two were really worried about! Young Master Han did not know whether to laugh or cry at this, and his anger died down as a result. He looked at Gu Fei and earnestly explained in a soft voice, ”Do you know that because you failed to hold on to your life at the very end, we lost the chance of achieving 'perfect victory'? Without it, we lost the privilege of having our victory specially announced on the world channel and thoroughly ruin our opponents. What b*llsh*t top guild of Yunduan City; I am the top guild of Yunduan City! No, wait. It's the top guild in Parallel World! WA HA HA HA!” Young Master Han's voice increased in volume the more he spoke until he was simply laughing maniacally at the end.

At which point Gu Fei got it, ”Did he have too much to drink?”

Brother Assist nodded, ”He drank quite a lot during the match as well…” Recalling his time on the mountain peak, his eyes almost got blinded by the scintillating glow of Young Master Han's empty bottles.

”Is he really drunk? Why can't I see that?” War Without Wounds expressed his doubt.

”He couldn't even differentiate between a guild and a mercenary group, so how could he be sober? Are we a guild?” Gu Fei rebuked. Sometimes, idiocy really brought out the worst in people.

”Oh…” War Without Wounds hummed. Indeed, Young Master Han had just declared that he was Parallel World's number one guild.

Sword Demon merely sighed deeply. Being a long-time friend of Young Master Han, he naturally knew that the latter had a little too much alcohol.

”Anyway, what exactly happened to you? How did you die?” Brother Assist asked Gu Fei the question that everyone was wondering about.

”It's the 'reflect damage' trait,” Gu Fei simply replied.

”Oh…” everyone intoned. All of them naturally got it.

”Tragedy! What a tragedy!” Young Master Han suddenly began lecturing them, ”Aren't all of you peak experts in your respective fields? 'Reflect damage'! How could none of you think of this trait that best counters high damage but low HP job classes; aren't you guys ashamed of yourselves? Why did you guys not warn him about this beforehand?!”

”Well, why didn't YOU?!” Royal God Call could not help but counter.

”I?” Young Master Han contemptuously gave him a sidelong glance, ”Why would a pure person like me think of such a despicable thing?” Young Master Han's reply was so narcissistic that no one present could stand it.

”I really have to hand it to you; you're still a total narcissist even when you're drunk. Sword Demon, when will he sober up?” Gu Fei asked Sword Demon.

Sword Demon paused for a moment before replying, ”It's about time now. He's actually not that far gone, since he can still talk business and do what he is supposed to. He's just a little more chatty than usual.”

Brother Assist returned to the topic at hand, ”So far, I haven't seen any equipment with the 'reflect damage' trait. How about you guys?”

All shook their heads.

”This type of equipment entirely depends on the proc rate and the degree of effect just like Fatal Blow. Someone will have to gather nearly a full-suit of equipment with the relevant trait to effectively use it. If either the chance or degree is low, the trait is pretty much ineffectual. Furthermore, the user will have to lower his or her defense stat to achieve a powerful degree of reflection, essentially putting the player in a very precarious state. Considering that there's no potion or similar item that can recover HP during PvP in Parallel World at present, it can be said that no solo player out there could survive using such a build,” Brother Assist analyzed.

”Plus!” War Without Wounds added, ”This sort of equipment is extremely silly. The user must have the enemy attack him to deal with the enemy. What if your enemy chooses not to fight you, instead? Truly, this is a one-time trick that can only be used when the opponent is unaware of it. Since everyone can use Appraisal in Parallel World, how can such equipment be useful when players make it a point to appraise the enemies before engaging?”

”Speaking of which, Miles doesn't really know how to use Appraisal, yeah?” Royal God Call suddenly remembered this.

”Mmm... I've never really used it,” Gu Fei admitted. The Appraisal skill he had zealously trained for a while had pretty much been abandoned by him recently.

The experts in the room exchanged looks before shouting in unison, ”That's too d*mn dangerous!”

”That's a bad habit you need to change!” War Without Wounds sincerely advised.

”That's right! If your opponent knows of your bad habit, that person can intentionally create a whole suit of equipment that reflects damage just to f*ck you up!” Royal God Call quipped.

”Come to think of it; since that person could kill you with 'reflect damage', why did she only deal with you at the last moment?” War Without Wounds voiced his astonishment.

”Miles know that woman, right? She probably did that as a favor to him!” Royal God Call was winking at him as he said this, ”Which babe is it? Have I met her before?”

Gu Fei was unimpressed by his action and did not say a word in response. Brother Assist said, ”If it's a favor, why would she do that to Miles in this match?”

”Oh. Perhaps, she's using this chance to experiment something with me? She did admit wanting to use that method to target someone else,” Gu Fei reasoned.

”Hmph!” Young Master Han audibly harrumphed, destroying their assumption that he had dozed off. His head remained buried in his arms as he said coolly, ”Is there any other idiot out there who won't use Appraisal in a PvP situation?”

”True!” War Without Wounds agreed, ”Didn't I just say that this method is far too passive that it can only be done when the target doesn't know of it? Since Parallel World has the Appraisal skill, such equipment essentially has no value in PvP, so no one will use it for that.”

”That's not true! If someone were to assign one or two of these people in a crowd, even if Gu Fei has the habit of using Appraisal, he wouldn't be able to appraise every one of his targets before unleashing an AOE spell! Miles would be killed off by casting an AOE spell at that rate.” Royal God Call made quite a lot of sense when he gave this supposition.
