461 Chapter 461 - Two Birds with One Stone (1/2)

After receiving the information, Gu Fei was no more than a meter away from Giordano. He was now well within the range to pull out his sword and plunge it into the NPC; Gu Fei would surely have done this if he could confirm that he was able to insta-kill it.

However, it was apparent to him that he was unable to do so. As the captain that was always surrounded by its subordinates, Gu Fei believed that Giordano would possess a transcendental strength. If Gu Fei already had difficulty taking down the average lone guard, insta-killing this captain would simply be an unrealistic fantasy.

That was why Gu Fei decided against attacking it. He took the stack of papers as he watched Giordano and his cadre of guards leave, chatting in jubilation.

He casually stared at the information he was given.

”D*mn; how coincidental!” Gu Fei croaked. The information directed Gu Fei to his target, which was incidentally the PK maniac in Xiawu City whom Slyris had just mentioned, Cool Apple.

Gu Fei flipped through the 17 pages he was given, which detailed Cool Apple's level, job class, and committed crimes—a record of his PK history. It seemed that this 'Daily Bounty Mission' was actually a tally of a player's accumulated PK value, and the PK Maniac Cool Apple was second to none in this, so getting targeted for the 'Daily Bounty Mission' was the natural order of things.

”They couldn't possibly even sentence the time of imprisonment accordingly, right? Wouldn't this kid end up with life imprisonment at this rate?” Gu Fei sighed. For a PK record that was 17 pages long, it would not really be too much for this person to be given such a sentencing, considering the amount of blood on his hands in terms of the player levels he removed. At the same time, Gu Fei wondered if he would often be chosen as the 'Daily Bounty Mission' target himself.

However, after glancing upon Cool Apple's total tally, he realized that he was nothing compared to the man. While he might have those occasional moments when he became the champion of the total amount of PK value held at any one time, there was just no way he could catch up to Cool Apple.

With a total tally of 1642 PK points, it only meant that Cool Apple had dropped the levels of 1642 players. If he started from the beta until now, that would mean that this man had killed about 10 men on average each day… Gu Fei was embarrassed. This was what it meant to be a true PK maniac. Those from Young Master's Elite were being far too unworldly if they had actually considered Gu Fei as one.

With that in mind, Gu Fei was rather interested in meeting this person. Opening up his quest log, he could already see the Xiawu City 'Daily Bounty Mission' right there, but it was just the title, since the content was already physically in Gu Fei's hands.

Gu Fei was taken aback by this. Normally, 'Bounty Mission' would have a set of coordinates and the serial number of the target shown on the quest log, yet this 'Daily Bounty Mission' actually had no hints at all. Did that mean he would have to search for Cool Apple himself?

Searching for somebody yet again… Gu Fei had just played this game with Southern Lone Blade. Why must he always be bogged down by such problems? It was at this moment when Gu Fei received another message asking for update on his end from the three he had left on the wall's walkway.

”I didn't kill the NPC, but it gave me a quest,” Gu Fei replied, uncertain if he should laugh or cry.

”What quest?”

”It's a 'Daily Bounty Mission'. We'll meet up and talk about this once I'm out,” Gu Fei replied. With a longing glance at Giordano, Gu Fei figured that since he had easy access to the Government City Hall, there should be no problem coming back to take another go at this when he was free.

Leaving the Vigilante Corps Chamber and exiting the building via the back door, he climbed up the wall using the rope Yan Xiaozhu had placed there earlier.

”Take a look yourselves!” Gu Fei passed the information he had in his hands over to the three.

”Cool Apple…” Slyris repeated.

”1642!” Sword Demon was astonished. After all, it was not too difficult to occasionally do something. It was the persistence to repeat something day after day that was demanding. There was no doubt that this man was a true PK Maniac to be able to PK 1642 times.

”What do you know about this guy?” Gu Fei asked Slyris.

”I exchanged blows with this guy once when he was at level 30,” Slyris replied.

”What happened?” Gu Fei asked.

”I died.” Slyris was very remorseful about this but still told the truth. ”He's really very skilled. I am no match for him. If we have a rematch now, the outcome will still be the same.”

”Did he not look for you again?” Sword Demon asked. He felt that this sort of PK Maniac would surely enjoy finding a high-level player like Slyris as his target.

”I don't know, but I've never bumped into him after,” Slyris answered. Considering how huge Parallel World was, it was not that easy to bump into each other serendipitously, or it would not have been such a chore to locate anyone.

”There will always be players on the receiving end of his attack every day… Of course, he may not always succeed, or his PK record won't just be this,” Slyris said.

”But this man has never been slain before at the very least, right?” Sword Demon probed.

”Yeah. He is always successful at getting away when he realizes that things aren't going his way,” Slyris affirmed.

”That's pretty interesting!” Gu Fei clenched his fists.

”So are you gonna go search for Cool Apple, or are you gonna continue on your quest to Assassinate Giordano?” Sword Demon asked.

”I'll do them both! Since this man possesses a Bounty License just like me, I'm afraid he is aware of the 'Daily Bounty Mission', so there's a very good chance he'll do it every day. I'll stay here by Giordano and monitor the situation first. At the same time, I'll wait for that guy to come and pick up his 'Daily Bounty Mission' and complete this quest. It's two birds with one stone!” Gu Fei had already thought this through and specifically took the time to come out and tell the three of them the situation as it stood. This was to convince them of leaving as there was nothing they could do for what came after.
