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

”That's not exactly right…'Reflect damage' trait can only be triggered if it's a melee attack of sorts!” War Without Wounds refuted.

”That actually depends on the design of the game itself!” Brother Assist argued.

”Yeah. I once played a game that has a system for 'reflecting' ranged attack,” Royal God Call shared.

”What about in Parallel World, then? Does this game have something like that or not?”

”Nope,” Brother Assist declared with certainty.

The two were suspicious. ”Didn't you just say you've never seen the 'reflect damage' trait in any equipment before?”

Brother Assist did not know whether to laugh or cry at this question, ”It's true that I haven't seen it, but I know about the design and effect of 'reflect damage' in Parallel World. 'Reflect damage' is certainly not applicable for ranged attacks here.”

”Oh. That explains why Miles has survived until this day,” Royal God Call said.

”He he… You gotta be careful in the future, Miles. Who knows which of your enemy knows about your bad habit of not using Appraisal and decides to assassinate you in that way?” War Without Wounds cautioned.

”No way! Could it be that this babe in today's match used this method to remind you of this?” Royal God Call gasped.

”Who would be considerate enough to go to such lengths?!” War Without Wounds also gasped. All turned their gazes on Gu Fei.

”D*mb*sses. If she wanted to remind him of this, she could just tell it to him straight. What's the point of going through all that trouble?” Young Master Han asked.

”Man, you're right!” War Without Wounds and Royal God Call nodded their heads in agreement.

”Unless…” Young Master Han was actually not done with his words.

”Unless what?” the two men quickly asked.

”Unless she's afraid that Miles won't believe her words,” Young Master Han continued.

”So this woman went through all this trouble just to make Miles believe her? Whoa! It's far too amazing to be believable now!” War Without Wounds and Royal God Call shook their heads to deny this reasoning.

Gu Fei felt quite shocked. The youngster and middle-aged man continued to quarrel while Young Master Han would occasionally say his piece in his half-drunken state, more or less analyzing the situation in its entirety....

Could Swindler Tian really be trying to remind me of this thing? Now that he thought about it, Xi Xiaotian had actually reminded him to use his Appraisal skill more often earlier. Although she had said it mockingly, everything would have made perfect sense if Young Master Han's deduction was correct.

However, War Without Wounds and Royal God Call's input about this being too over-the-top made him hesitate. She would not be so bored to do that, right? Gu Fei preferred settling things upfront, so he immediately opened up his friends list to inquire about this hypothesis. Unfortunately for him, Xi Xiaotian was no longer online. It was already past 9 P.M. The guild versus guild tournament should currently be underway, which marked the official end of the mercenary PvP tournament.

The members of Ultimate Class 3 Guild sent him this message at this time: ”Sir, which mercenary group are you in?”

”Young Master's Elite; don't you guys know that?”

”WOW! FIRST PLACE! SO POWERFUL!” all the students exclaimed.

”Sir, let us join your mercenary group!” someone requested.

”Shoo! What's the point of joining such a messy mercenary group?!” Gu Fei chided. He looked at his fellow mercenaries; Young Master Han had a vile personality, was a complete narcissist, and an alcoholic; War Without Wounds' action was too inappropriate for his age while Royal God Call was too immature... The only common ground the two shared was how much of a pervert they were; Brother Assist was conscientious and careful, but he was always fretting about something or another. Gu Fei could not say whether he was Brother Assist or Brother Troubled; finally, there was Sword Demon. While he had an upright and reliable character, he was totally addicted to gaming. Therefore, he was not an ideal role model for his students.

They're truly a bunch of trash! Gu Fei sighed to himself. He tactfully neglected to examine himself, though; if he did, he would realize that his love for PvPing was far more troublesome to other players than the other five men's respective flaws! Any players with some PK points on them would even tremble in fear at the sight of him.

The six men stayed inside the room at Ray's Bar and waited for the guild versus guild tournament to end. The game officials had said before that the system would send out the prizes once the two tournaments ended. Still, none knew when that was exactly. All of them were beside themselves with excitement as they kept on guessing what the rewards would be.

Young Master Han eventually sobered up, while Royal God Call got drunk in his stead. A child like him had no decent tolerance for liquor, yet he ironically became well-behaved when drunk, snoring steadily at a corner of the room.

”Royal, you're far too negligent. To actually fall asleep at such a tense moment…” War Without Wounds snickered.

Time slowly went by until the system announcement rang. The guild versus guild tournament result was out. To no one's surprise, Traversing Four Seas came out on top. On second place was Armor Guild and on third place was The First Light Guild. Gu Fei had not heard of these two guilds before.

”The prize is coming!” War Without Wounds grabbed Gu Fei in his excitement. The person he always bantered with was still fast asleep in the corner! This pun works better in Chinese. Basically, the IGN 佑哥 (Brother Assist) is homophone of 忧哥 (which means 'worried', 'troubled', or 'concerned').
