293 Chapter 293 - Super Mario (1/2)

Anyone could tell with a glance where the highest point in Yueye City was.

At the heart of the city, and near the tavern Young Master's Elite had just visited to drink liquor with Dusky Cloud and friends, there stood a tower way taller than Yunduan City's clock tower. Although it clearly had a clock face as well, the system had called it the Tower to differentiate it from the other in-game cities' clock towers.

Without a moment's delay, Young Master Han set forth toward the Tower as he casually called War Without Wounds to accompany him. In a city where PvP was literally its lifeblood, a lone Priest walking around was a rare sight, as the non-combat job class was too easy to bully. Young Master Han might hold himself in high esteem, but he certainly had no wish to become somebody's punching bag.

”Ahhh… I wanted to do something more meaningful!” War Without Wounds was extremely unwilling to become a bodyguard once more.

”Just give up; do you even have the movement speed to keep up with them?” Young Master Han pointed at Sword Demon and Royal God Call as he said this, and War Without Wounds wordlessly agreed.

Sword Demon and Royal God Call remained by the street, prepared to lend assistance if the need arose. Brother Assist left for the Bounty Assignment Hall; after all, no matter how high a vantage point was, Young Master Han would have no way of peering through the walls.

Gu Fei only began his hike back to the city from the woods once he received Young Master Han's message informing him that all preparations had been made.

The Amethyst Rebirth ladies were actually asking about their situation as well and if they could help them in any way, but Gu Fei and Svelte Dancer shared the same view that these ladies could hardly provide them assistance. Svelte Dancer had even suggested using the ladies to divert their potential enemies' attention through the honey-pot scheme, but Gu Fei absolutely vetoed it.

Yueye City was a paradise for manly pursuits; most players only had eyes for blood and killing. One of the two most hated players in the city was the beauty Vast Lushness, but when did any of them show mercy toward her due to it? Svelte Dancer was also a beautiful lady, but did any of those players who had obtained her 'Bounty Mission' show leniency in their attacks?

Once Young Master Han reached the top of the Tower, he approvingly regarded the bird's eye view before him, ”Yueye City's skyline is much clearer. People can only see clouds when they look down from Yunduan City's clock tower.”

”That's why it's called Yunduan City!” War Without Wounds, who was standing by his side, also took in the view before him. Almost instantly, he felt dizzy and his heart rose to his throat; War Without Wounds' entire body suddenly went weak and he slumped to the ground like jelly, his arms quickly grabbing a hold of the stone pillar next to him.

Young Master Han eyed him in annoyance. War Without Wounds calmed himself and said, ”I think I'm sick.”

”Huh?”

”Seems like I've gained fear of heights,” War Without Wounds clarified.

”I know. You've had quite the journey crossing the Oolong Mountain Range.” It was rare to see Young Master Han sympathize with another person. It was said that those that had fallen into the abyss lost a whole level when they died. War Without Wounds did not fall, yet tethering precariously between life and death for two separate segments of that stretch of road created a psychological shadow in his mind.

This is a serious issue since such trauma could be brought into reality. Who knew when War Without Wounds would find himself standing high up in an office building in reality and his sight from it would cause his legs to buckle just like today?

War Without Wounds tightly hugged the pillar as he slowly stepped away from the edge, returning to the center of the Tower.

Young Master Han paid attention to him no more as he studied the city's layout while talking to others on the mercenary channel. The coordinates for the Bounty Assignment Hall, Gu Fei's current location, the players' heading direction from the Bounty Assignment Hall… All these were information he needed for the operation. However, just as he was drawing up a plan, Young Master Han suddenly froze and said to War Without Wounds, ”We're going down.”

”What?”

”There's no need for us to guide him.”

”Why is that?” War Without Wounds asked, puzzled.

”He can get there without my help.” Young Master Han started descending from the Tower as he fired off a message to Gu Fei: ”There's no need for me to guide you.”

”Oh?” Gu Fei was confused.
