639 Chapter 639 - Communicate a Bi (2/2)
Crap! Seismic Toss!
He abruptly realized what was happening.
Indeed, this was the most indomitable aspect of these kung fu practitioners. Ye Xiaowu was incomparably familiar with the game, knowing all about how it was designed and its settings, yet he had never experienced all of it physically by himself. He never imagined that there was someone out there that could unleash a Seismic Toss from this sort of posture!
Gu Xian continued his forward somersault even as he used Ye Xiaowu's shoulders for support. At the same time that he was executing Seismic Toss, he lifted the man up from the ground and threw him up toward the sky. Ye Xiaowu took a glimpse while in the air and saw that the area he was landing in would be inside the safe zone. Despite so, this very attack was done outside the safe zone. Thus, the damage he would sustain would still be full of calculations. However, Ye Xiaowu felt that the final damage should not be enough to insta-kill him, except it would toss him back into the safe zone. That's hardly a bad thing, isn't it?
Just as he was about to soul-stirringly yell out ”Leave me be!” Another Fighter actually rushed out from inside the safe zone. Reaching the doorway in just a few steps, this Fighter stepped on that rock Gu Xian had been sitting on before and kicked himself off the wall as well. In just those two steps, the man soared in the air, and before Ye Xiaowu could land in the Priest Academy, he was caught mid-air by this other person. Following which, he found himself being raised high above his head. His tears ran free.
It's another Seismic Toss!
Eternal Dominion's Seismic Toss was like a basketballer's slam dunk on the court. After lifting Ye Xiaowu in mid-air, he viciously sent him plummeting onto the ground in a single swift motion.
I'm dead this time for sure… Grief gripped Ye Xiaowu. He might be a Priest, but he never once allocated his points to Endurance, and more importantly, he had a low level! Ye Xiaowu had lost four levels this day alone, so he was no more than a paltry dish in front of these experts who had undergone their Job Class Advancement. Ye Xiaowu felt that the game would be completely unfair if he could survive these two consecutive attacks.
A burst of white light sprang when Ye Xiaowu was sent down to the ground like this. Meanwhile, Gu Xian completed his forward somersault after he tossed Ye Xiaowu. The whole circle of ex-soldiers was still in a hurry to crowd around him, yet their target never did land as they saw a flash of white light appear in mid-air.
”What just happened?” All of them were in shock. Their failure to save Ye Xiaowu once more caused much unhappiness among these ex-soldiers. Their comrade had actually died five times in a span of today! Just as they were about to take care of Gu Xian to relieve some of their guilt, they saw the person disappear in a flash of white light mid-air. All of them exchanged glances and then shook their heads.
”I didn't touch him!”
”I didn't either.”
”I didn't, too!”
”Then, how did he die?”
Ye Xiaowu, who had instantly respawned in the Priest Academy, had kept his eye on Gu Xian the entire time he was in the air! He clearly witnessed what had happened, and very painfully answered, ”He's not dead. He simply logged out…”
Just as he said that, his view ahead was suddenly obstructed. Young Master Han's group surrounded the man completely. Safe zone did not allow players to come in direct contact with one another, but that was the system forcefully creating an invisible wall around the player. This did not seem to affect the feeling of crowdedness anyone would feel, except that the player being squeezed among others would discover the slightest space between one another, something which the players had always found to be rather hilarious.
When players found themselves blocked in such a situation, it was normally possible for people to squeeze their way out even though they could come in contact with one another, but in Parallel World, because of the difference between job classes, the disparity between players' Strength played a huge part. Ye Xiaowu was just a little Priest; how would he be able to squeeze past that gap between the thickset shoulders of War Without Wounds and Southern Lone Blade? Even if he ignored these two, Sword Demon and Blackwater might be skinny, but they would have no problems rebuffing Ye Xiaowu's attempts at escape as well! In fact, even if they shared the same job class of Priests, the experts' higher level simply meant that he was incapable to squeeze his way out through any of them at all!
There were no words in the whole of the Chinese lexicon that could describe what Ye Xiaowu was feeling now, but what made things all the more depressing was that he was enclosed within this circle of experts, yet no one was actually looking at him. Mountain Breaker Axe and the others' eyes were all concentrated on Ye Xiaowu's murderer: Eternal Dominion.
Eternal Dominion quickly darted back into the Priest Academy after he landed on the ground. Those outside were still studying the spot Gu Xian had disappeared in mid-air! If it were not for that flash of light when he disappeared, these men would really think that they had witnessed another Blink.
Eternal Dominion went over to scope out Ye Xiaowu, whom he had just thrown to his death, with his two eyes. He extended his head into that circle of men and observed the trapped Ye Xiaowu within, looking like someone who had put in plenty of effort squeezing to the front of the cage of his favorite monkey in the zoo. Ye Xiaowu felt aggrieved as he met his gaze, while the crowd of experts were full of praises when they saw Eternal Dominion.
”That was magnificent! Things sure are different when one knows kung fu! That coordination was beautiful!!” Everyone showered him with their compliments.
”Oh, no! It's all thanks to Brother Gu for his courageous effort!” Eternal Dominion immediately reacted modestly, kindly piling all the hard work onto Gu Xian.
”That teamwork, the conscious awareness – how did you two share the same idea?” Southern Lone Blade really admired the synchronicity the two Fighters had just demonstrated.
Eternal Dominion looked Southern Lone Blade in the eye before answering, ”A simple message beforehand would do.”
Everyone was momentarily stunned before bursting into raucous laughter. Southern Lone Blade was beet-red, having thought that these kung fu practitioners lived otherworldly existences, that they were all of one blood learning kung fu, and so were able to guess how the others thought at a glance! He completely forgot that it was possible for them to exchange private messages to make the necessary arrangements in-game. After Eternal Dominion found out that Gu Xian was Gu Fei's cousin, and of the Gu family, he politely added him as a friend. He never would have thought that it would come in handy so soon.
”You guys can carry on here! I need to log out.” Eternal Dominion saw that it was about time and bid everyone farewell. He turned around to wave goodbye at Gu Fei, who was still on that rooftop, before going offline.
Everyone returned their attention to the trapped Ye Xiaowu. The way this bunch grinned made it seem as if they were a bunch of hooligans surrounding a naked woman.
”Pull off his pants and flick his d*ck!” As if possessed by the spirit of Sakurazaka Moony, Royal God Call yelled out such a despicable suggestion.
Even though Ye Xiaowu knew that this was impossible in Parallel World, he could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. After collecting himself, he looked at everyone around him and said, ”What you guys are doing is considered as hindering the freedom of a player in this game. I can lodge a complaint to the GM!”
Because this was a fully immersive simulation, there would always be some unheard of incidents occurring. Just how many game designers were there for this game? There was no way their imagination could be comparable to what thousands upon tens of thousands of players could dream up. Ever since the game began its operation, players would often cause plenty of fantastical and incredible incidents, which the game designers found themselves scrambling to patch up. This only made these designers feel as if they were just there to clean up everyone's messy behinds.
Furthermore, there was indeed one such condition that came up in the terms of service between the game company and the players, mentioning that 'players could not use any sort of method to undermine the rights of others to play the game freely.' What this undermine meant was never explicitly defined in the agreement. In any case, at the end of this contract was the fine print 'the right to interpret any part of this document ultimately rests with the game company.' No gamers out there would be a stranger to such an agreement. It was very similar to what would always appear when people clicked on the 'agree' option when installing a program. It was just something nobody would read in detail, anyway.
As for that 'undermine the rights of others to play the game freely,' there had only been one such story of a kidnapping incident that had been widely circulated among the players up until now. It was unknown what had caused the conflict between the two players involved, but one of them ended up calling his friends to take revenge on the other party after. Apparently, just killing this person was not enough; and they actually captured that person alive and bundled him up like a dumpling, too, before stringing him deep in the dense forest.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
This player was entirely incapable of moving, so he was unable to get himself back to the safe zone and log out. Forcefully logging out and getting online again, this player found himself still hung and bound tightly – absolutely incapable of playing the game. When this person called for the attention of a GM, the long-awaited GM, who had appeared after his incessant calls, received quite a fright when he saw the state this player was in, and quickly rescuing him from that predicament.
Meanwhile, the player with a passion for bondage did not receive any sort of punishment despite being the first offender. However, the game did publish a public announcement, stating that such acts must cease. If a repeat of that incident were to occur, offenders would at the very least find themselves suspended, possibly even losing their account for more severe cases.
Player would forever be the weaker party when going against the system, so no one dared to challenge its authority on this.
However, before too long had passed, there was yet another case of kidnapping. The game officials were enraged and promptly suspended the offender's account once the report was made. However, that player soon directly phoned in to the company and complain about the matter. After the system investigated the matter closely, they realized that the original player who had reported the incident actually got his friends to tie himself up before maliciously reporting his enemy to the GM. The sloppy handling of this matter nearly caused the GM to be fooled as a result.
The game officials were also incensed after being fooled by the player, so the player in question saw his account deleted, while all the other players who had played accomplice to this scheme got suspended. Thus, it was through this incident that the game designers found themselves breaking into a cold sweat once more realizing: The intelligence of these people is limitless.
