608 Chapter 608 - A storm is coming. (1/2)
”You were too quick!” Southern Lone Blade had barely collected himself in the spawn point at this moment! Even though they had already agreed to this beforehand, Gu Fei's slash was far quicker than anything he had imagined, especially in a situation when that single move could completely extinguish his life. Southern Lone Blade was not so accommodating as to offer his life up just like that; he originally wanted to use his Windchaser's Blessing to teleport himself to safety in that moment before Gu Fei's attack would snuff him out – perhaps fooling everyone. After all, there was no way he would not feel heartache from losing a level now that he was at level 40. No matter how indifferent he was toward it, it was still something he had spent a good amount of time and effort in!
Ultimately, Gu Fei's attack was truly too fast, especially since he had Blinked specifically for it. His sword had already plunged straight at Southern Lone Blade by the time he materialized between the two. Southern Lone Blade barely had any time to react before he got slain.
”It was a worthy death.” Gu Fei expressed his condolences.
”Can I come back now?” Southern Lone Blade sighed.
”Sure!”
”My mates won't be troubled by this further, right?” Southern Lone Blade asked.
”She doesn't even recognize them,” replied Gu Fei.
”Okay, then!” Southern Lone Blade was put at ease and began his walk back to the 9527 outcrop in the Wilderness Camp.
---------------------------------
Back over to Svelte Dancer; even though the lady said that she was over it, the fact was she was still feeling rather discontented over this whole affair. However, she had consecutively lost twice to Southern Lone Blade, so it obviously meant that it was not an issue of luck. Southern Lone Blade's equipment was not at the run of the mill standard of the average player, either, and with how he had made a living with larceny, his PK experience and skills were all well-honed. At the same time, while Svelte Dancer's PK skills were nothing to scoff at, she was a pay-to-win player through and through. With her equipment often being a tier above the other average players out there, she was used to obliterating her enemies like they were cabbage waiting to be shredded. Tragedy was all that awaited her for treating a skilled expert like Southern Lone Blade as a similar cannon fodder.
Melancholia was keenly reflected in Svelte Dancer's expression as she sat listlessly by the 9527 outcrop at the moment.
”D'you wanna come play with us?” Gu Fei could tell that the lady was still upset about all this, so he extended this invitation to give herself an activity that would take her mind off the matter.
”Money-making?” she asked, absolutely not having any interest in such stuff.
Gu Fei laughed dryly. ”It's not like you're doing anything else at the moment.”
”What are you guys doing, anyway?” Svelte Dancer collected herself up a little. While she could not be bothered to participate, she figured that it would be fine to see what gimmick these people were up.
”Efficient monster grinding.” Gu Fei shook his hand as he pointed to the crowd of players conscientiously learning the fighting routine from Brother Assist.
”How's that efficient?” Svelte Dancer was also looking at Brother assist on the outcrop.
”Uhmm… It is considered efficient for the majority of players out there… but your equipment is probably too high for this,” Gu Fei said.
The efficient monster grinding routine utilized actual combat techniques to let a player achieve even greater efficiency when killing monsters, but for someone like Svelte Dancer who possessed overly powerful equipment, what could be even more efficient when she was already capable of finishing off monster with one or two basic attacks? Thus, the efficient monster grinding style that Gu Fei pioneered in was essentially useless to her.
”How boring…” Svelte Dancer languidly muttered after watching it for a moment, her interest waning.
”Level 40 monsters are too low for you, anyway. What's the level of monsters you usually grind against?” Gu Fei asked.
”Level 50,” Svelte Dancer replied.
”Have you killed level 60 monsters?” Gu Fei asked.
”I have, but it's not as quick as level 50 monsters,” Svelte Dancer answered.
”He he he…” Gu Fei chuckled.
Svelte Dancer's eyes instantly sparkled. ”You have a way to increase the efficiency of killing level 60 monsters; am I right?!”
”Of course,” Gu Fei affirmed.
”Teach me!” Svelte Dancer leaped to her feet.
”Sure. We're still a little busy here right now. I'll teach you once I'm free,” Gu Fei promised.
”Call me when you're free!” Svelte Dancer's melancholia was swept away in an instant. Instead, it was those experts eavesdropping in the two's conversation that were now feeling depressed.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
”Using level 60 monsters to grind your levels, you guys are too much!” These people all remonstrated.
”You can come too if you want to learn.” Gu Fei chuckled.
Who would not wish to do that? Everybody pounced on this chance to register, but Gu Fei ended up adding, ”But you'll first have to re-allocate all your points to Agility.”
”With the amount of Agility we've got, it should be about the same as your all-Agility build, yeah?” Sword Demon and Royal God Call asked, while War Without Wounds already had tears streaming freely down his cheeks, for he knew he had no chance at all.
”Sure, but… Royal, I won't be using a ranged fighting style, so your damage output might not be up to par if you swap to a melee weapon; in the end, it's gonna be counter-efficient for you,” Gu Fei said. Even though Archers could similarly use other weapons like daggers, there was still the weapon proficiency requirement that they needed to fulfill, and adding the fact that Archers possessed the Bow and Crossbow Mastery skill, even if they equipped these melee weapons, the damage output of their basic attack would be hardly at the level a Warrior or a Thief could deal. This fighting style that Gu Fei and the others were teaching, aside from the limitations Priests would face when it came to dealing damage, Archers were the other job class that suffered. Needing to swap to a melee weapon, their damage output was incomparably lower than the other job classes possessed. As such, their efficiency was naturally dismal as well.
Royal God Call's tears were flowing freely when he heard this.
Out of the people in the crowd, only Sword Demon met the criteria Gu Fei stipulated. Glue and the others were not particularly interested in this, and when Royal God Call came to ask them about it, he learned that none of them were in the least bit concerned about level grinding, but were more interested in finding out how much profit they could make from this business venture.
”Call me once you're free!” Svelte Dancer was now back to her usual self, and after reminding Gu Fei for the umpteenth time, no longer wasted any more time loitering here.
And so, everybody waited until Southern Lone Blade arrived before officially beginning their discussion over this business that they were about to collaborate on.
Since it was decided that they would be working together, the next step was the question of how the profits would be distributed. The six men of Young Master's Elite were largely agreeable to negotiating how the money would be split among themselves, mainly because they were not completely concerned with earning money in-game. Even though they were usually rather mean to each other, it was all done in jest and for fun; the words they exchanged were largely harmless and without malice. When splitting up their earnings, and someone ended up taking 800 gold coins while another took 300, everybody would argue and clown around but never take things to heart. Conversely, it was impossible for Southern Lone Blade's gang to do this. They were all playing this game to earn a living, so they placed great emphasis to this aspect of the game. As such, they were naturally very conscientious about such matters, which was why Southern Lone Blade did not even mention a word about what had transpired between him and Svelte Dancer and directly dove into the topic of cooperation when he arrived.
Thus, right by the front of 9527, Brother Assist continued to take the class as Eternal Dominion moved about in the crowd to collect fees, and behind this very outcrop, a whole bunch of them gathered to covertly negotiate how they would split the profits for the work that they would be doing.
First, Young Master Han reported the earnings they had made from Brother Assist and Eternal Dominion's two rounds of classes yesterday, as well as the income they had made from today's chaotic events. The final sum was well in the six digits of gold coins, which left Southern Lone Blade's team utterly shell-shocked. Both parties then had a jolly time with the ensuing discussion. Fortunately, Southern Lone Blade's group was not too greedy, and Gu Fei's lot was not particularly stingy. As a result, one side did not mind a smaller cut of the lion's share, while the other was more than happy to be more generous, so how could they not have an easy and relaxed dialogue together?
