510 Chapter 510 - Amid Observation... (1/2)
”Hello…” Gu Fei, Sword Demon, and Coco greeted one another.
”Is there nothing to sit on here?” Sweeping his eyes across the room, Gu Fei saw that this cottage's design was so simple it practically had nothing inside.
”Sit? Can't you sit on the ground?” Coco tapped the floor with her foot.
Gu Fei was, of course, not averse to sitting on the floor. He only thought that the three of them specially making a trip here for a three-way conversation about the topic at hand was a little comical and unnatural. Still, seeing that neither of them was against it, he did not say anything further and casually leaned against the wall to start the discussion. ”Broken Water Arrow is quite the interesting individual.”
”Sword Demon already told me what you mean,” Coco said.
”Yes. What are your thoughts regarding it?” Gu Fei asked.
”Broken Water Arrow is a skilled and charismatic individual. Plenty of our guild members look up to that man. All that is an open secret. As for the suspicions you have about him… heh… You've got quite a cynical mind!” Coco said.
”Hey… No wonder you two are old friends!” Gu Fei cried out.
”But, of course,” Coco said.
”I need to make this clear; it is because that man has become the target of Sword Demon's 'Daily Mission' that I'm speculating like this. My assessment is based off on how this game and its system operate thus far; I believe that the system won't condone PKing for a quest or mission completion with no rhyme or reason. Take the mission I previously picked up; it tasked me with slaying a player that had single handedly killed over 1600 individuals through his PKing career. That's why I'm not hesitating to think up of the vilest and cruelest conjecture regarding Sword Demon's target. Whether Broken Water Arrow is really such a person or not isn't the key here,” Gu Fei said.
”Well, you've both met the man in person; what's your first impression of him?” Coco asked.
”His neck, waist, and thighs have the right amount of muscles; he appears to be someone who typically relies on his physical strength. He most likely has flexible and nimble movement when fighting, and possesses explosive punches while being strong enough to take blows directly.” Gu Fei shared his observation.
”What is he talking about?” Coco asked Sword Demon.
”It's his professional analysis…” Sword Demon replied.
”Too professional… But that's not what I'm asking; it's his intention! Given how well-respected and popular this man is, we don't know if he truly has any ill intention toward Deep Freeze,” Coco said.
”How would we find that out so easily? We gotta stalk the man a little first!” Gu Fei said.
”Stalk? Whoa. You're really full of detestable ideas!” Coco exclaimed.
”This is Sword Demon's idea…”
”You've been badly influenced.” Coco shot Sword Demon a pained look. ”Told you that you shouldn't hang out with such dubious characters!”
”Enough with the jokes…” Sword Demon said.
”All right. Let's do things like this first; I'll inquire after Broken Water Arrow's current location, and you two will secretly observe him – watch his actions and how he behaves. Once you have a better understanding of him, we'll make another round of inference,” Coco suggested.
”Do you want to join us?” Gu Fei asked.
”Join you guys? Forget it. I'll be too eye-catching,” she rejected.
”You can always disguise yourself!”
”Haven't I told you before? I'd rather die than get my face all smeared up like that,” Coco vehemently refused.
Women! Gu Fei sighed inwardly. Obsessing over things that don't matter at such a crucial time.
”Then, let's hurry up! Find out where that man is right now,” Sword Demon said.
”Wait for my message.” Coco nodded to him.
The two men were leaving when Sword Demon looked back. ”Oh, yeah. Who are Rice Soup and White Sand, anyway? Would they goof up and expose us?”
”Relax; the two may have joined our guild, but they have yet to reach Linyin City. I've already told them that there's no need to hurry over,” Coco assured.
”You guys are accepting players from other cities as well? What for? Opening up a subsidiary branch?” Sword Demon asked.
”What do you care so much for?! Busybody. Go and do what you need to do. It's a 'Daily Mission'; do you want to take a whole week for it? What a disgrace!” Coco urged.
”Oh, and before I forget; take these!” Right before the two left, Coco remembered to give the two men something.
