460 Chapter 460 - Access Permi (1/2)
”Have you guys found a method yet?” Slyris asked Gu Fei and Sword Demon.
”We don't have to aggro the guards,” Gu Fei said. ”I wonder if it is possible to sneak in through a window. Speaking of which, how did you two get up here?”
”He he!” Yan Xiaozhu looked all mysterious, not wishing to say a word.
Sword Demon, who had long noticed the cloud like glimmer that haloed around Slyris' feet, asked, ”Is that the Mage's Flight skill?”
”Yup!” Slyris nodded
”What's that?” Gu Fei asked Sword Demon.
”It's a Mage spell. It allows the user to fly for a short duration,” Sword Demon replied.
”How magical,” Gu Fei mused.
”But it only lasts for a short while and has a long cooldown. It's useful when fleeing but has limited use in combat,” Sword Demon gave an honest assessment.
”Indeed.” Slyris nodded in agreement.
”Still, I don't think that spell lets you carry another when you fly; am I right?” Sword Demon took a quick glance at Yan Xiaozhu.
”Ha ha!” Yan Xiaozhu laughed. The two hands she had been hiding behind her back all this while were now revealed to be carrying a coil of rope identical to the grappling hook of Gu Fei. She proudly declared, ”I have one, too!”
”You're a quick-learner!” Gu Fei commended.
”I had a good teacher.” At least, she did not forget to be modest.
Having spent some time engaging in polite small talk, it was time to get down to actual business.
”What do you guys plan to do?” Slyris asked.
”No need to alert the guards. I think it's be best if I can sneak in through a window,” Gu Fei said.
”Do you know the layout within? Which room the target is in, or if there are guards stationed within?” Slyris asked.
”I don't know; do you?” Gu Fei returned the question.
”As far as I know, there's only one player who has been able to enter the Government City Hall, and that person will surely have an idea of what to expect inside,” Slyris said.
”Who?” Gu Fei and Sword Demon asked at the same time.
”Cool Apple,” Slyris answered.
”Didn't Brother Assist mention about that person being ranked something on the Thief leaderboard?” Gu Fei asked Sword Demon for confirmation.
”Fourth!” Sword Demon confirmed. He more or less knew the names of those that were listed on the Thief leaderboard. Even if Brother Assist did not mention Cool Apple, he was already aware of that person's existence.
”That's the one.” Slyris nodded. ”This man's a PK maniac who often looks for players to kill whenever he's got nothing to do. I heard that, as a result of accumulating a huge amount of PK value, he ended up doing plenty of 'Bounty Mission' and earned himself something called a Bounty License, which lets him enter the government building.”
Gu Fei was immediately beside himself with joy when he heard this. ”I've got a Bounty License, too!” At the same time, he marveled at how big the world was. Others were sure to have accomplished the same things he had done. Even though Gu Fei was skilled, and 'Bounty Mission' was the one specific thing he did, the amount of time he spent online was limited, nevertheless. Others probably expended more time than he did, but they were still able to achieve the same feat. After all, Sword Demon had also managed to grind for a pair of Windchaser's Boots all by himself!
Gu Fei took out his Bounty License and asked, ”My Bounty License is number one. What number is his?”
Naturally, nobody was able to answer this.
Gu Fei did not really care to contemplate over this particular detail as he questioned Slyris about something else, ”How do I go about doing this? Do I just flash this to the guards before I enter?”
”I… I'm not too sure myself.”
”Let me give it a try!” Gu Fei proposed.
”Now? It might be a little troublesome at the moment because Flowergazing in the Fog is still in the middle of doing their guild quest, I'm afraid that their guild won't easily let players enter the Government City Hall,” Slyris dissuaded.
”I'll tell them I've got a quest!” Gu Fei said.
”Plenty of troublemakers have used that excuse… Flowergazing in the Fog will surely treat you the same as those guys,” Slyris said.
”Honestly speaking, I'm just the same as those troublemakers since I intend to assassinate the NPC in charge of their quest. I wonder what sort of penalty they'll receive to their quest progress as a result?” Gu Fei stared into the distance melancholically.
The rest were speechless.
”I wonder if I can still use my Bounty License if I try to enter through the back door,” Gu Fei wondered aloud.
Of course, no one was able to answer this question as well.
”Let me give it a shot!” Gu Fei resolved as he hopped off the wall, Blinked in mid-air, and landed softly on the ground.
There were no members of Flowergazing in the Fog in the backyard, since they had never thought that it was possible for anyone to climb up a wall over ten meters high. Thus, they focused all their attention and manpower on the main entrance to the building, only minding the players that passed through there.
Sword Demon and the other two ladies stood by the wall and watched Gu Fei sprint over to the back door the moment he landed on the ground. Yan Xiaozhu instantly secured that hook of hers by the wall and said, ”I'll get this ready in case he needs to make a run for it!”
