778 Chapter 778 - The Night Falls (2/2)

\”While the layman's there to join in the fun, it's the experts who would decipher the underlying brilliance,\” Deep Waters said.

\”I strongly agree with that statement,\” Gu Fei nodded repeatedly. He had been the subject of the layman's attention plenty of times and there was essentially nobody out there that could appreciate the finesse that he had shown in his PK. When everybody mentioned Thousand Miles Drunk, all they talked about was his equipment, damage, and ability to insta-kill others, which left Gu Fei with no idea what to say.

Once Aural Valley Wind and Sword Demon were done with their discussion, the former was in no hurry to leave, remaining behind to join in the festivities with all the players from Extremely Heaven Defying and build relationships. By the in-game time, the sky had already slowly turned to dusk, creeping toward the dark of the night. The bonfires that the players had raised to barbecue the meat were finally very eye-catching, and everyone followed the bright light and gradually formed circles that surrounded each of these fires. The manpower that Sword Demon had ordered very quickly built a huge bonfire whose flames left anyone within a five meter radius sweating profusely. It was impossible for anyone to get any nearer, so they could only feed the fuel by chucking the firewood from a distance. All it took was a call out and all the players began to gather around this huge bonfire, forming a larger circle all around the flames.

The raging bonfires turned the night skies red in its warm glow, and the atmosphere began to get more and more animated. As the guild leader, Sword Demon of course had to give a speech at such a time, but it was apparent that he was not someone who was good at reading the room; The words that came out of his mouth were not inappropriate, but getting Sword Demon to speak would always end up sounding like a somber news report. Brother Assist was already in tears, it was truly a waste of the host's speech that he had put hard work preparing for this bonfire night party.

Sword Demon very easily finished reciting the speech and he gave a sigh of relief as well. Naturally, he knew there was no way that he could take on this important task by himself, so he very swiftly passed the baton to Brother Assist. Brother Assist was obviously a lot more lively than Sword Demon, and adding to the fact that he had made ample preparation, the sparkling words and phrases that he pulled out after walking out very quickly amped up the atmosphere accordingly. Royal God Call and War Without Wounds were not about to leave their comrade up and host alone either, so when they came up one after another, they managed to draw quite a few bouts of laughter from how they made fun of each other and put down each other without inherent vitriol.

Of course, the main purpose of this gathering was not for the three men to host a talk show. Brother Assist quickly pulled out his booklet, and he began searching through the pages for several games that would be suitable for their bonfire night party. But because he had plenty to choose from inside, it made it difficult for Brother Assist to make the choice as well, thinking one was good but feel it was a pity to not play another, he wished he could just play them all, but they only have two hours of nighttime in Parallel World, and that was a very tight timeframe to adhere.

Thus, Brother Assist decided to do this democratically, throwing out the name of a few games and asking which the people wanted to play first.

Everyone was crying out that what they most wanted to watch was for Thousand Miles Drunk to insta-kill people.

Gu Fei felt that it was difficult for him to refute such strong affection from the crowd, so he stepped out and brandished his sword a few times, expressing that he had no issues insta-killing people, but the problem was that there was no target for him to insta-kill, so all he could do was do a demonstration of his swordplay.

All of them cheered, and Gu Fei was well aware that showcasing any sort of profound techniques would be lost in this crowd, so he pandered to the audience and chose a sword style that did not seek for a perfect balance of attack and defense, but one that looked cool. After he was done swinging his sword accordingly in a beautiful display of graceful and flashy moves, he received a very enthusiastic reception as he had expected. It was only Eternal Dominion who was left standing there utterly confused as he looked to his left and right at the crowd that was applauding madly, wondering to himself, just what sort of gimmick did I just witness? Could it be that my kung fu attainment isn't enough to make sense of its marvel? But then why were so many ordinary players able to see how great this display was?

Brother Assist was inspired by this and had also put the matter of playing games on hold, asking if there was anything else who would like to come out and perform for everyone. There were many shy and introverted players among them all, but there were also plenty who enjoyed the attention. Now that Brother Assist had fielded the question to everyone, there were quite a few who leaped out to sing, dance, perform magic and impersonations. The atmosphere here for this bonfire party rose to new heights, and Sword Demon and the others were also extremely delighted watching on as core members of the guild.

\”Frequently organizing such sort of activities might not be a bad idea,\” Sword Demon said as he watched a Warrior dancing like he was cramping inside that circle that was formed.

\”We don't have a lot of people right now, but by the time we reach level 6 as a guild, with over a thousand members, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to organize something like,\” Brother Assist cautioned.

\”We're still far off from those days. We'll worry about that when the time comes,\” Sword Demon answered.

Brother Assist nodded in agreement. To everyone's surprise, Royal God Call expression abruptly changed, \”It seems like there's quite a good number of people making their way over here.\”

\”Who are they?\” Sword Demon was stunned when he heard this.

\”East, south, west, and north… There are players in every direction,\” Royal God Call looked out all around him and confirmed this fact.

Sword Demon and the others did not have Eagle Eyes, so their eyesight was nowhere comparable to Royal God Call's. Despite knowing where to look, none of them were able to see anyone out in the distance. However, there was one issue that needed clarification, \”Royal, the sequence of direction you looked just now was actually, south, west, north, and east.\”

\”This isn't the time for that!\” It was not often that Royal God Call got to righteously criticize the others for making fun of his shortcoming being directionally challenged. \”I feel like these people are not coming with good intentions in mind.\”

\”Sharpshooters in the guild, take note and observe your surroundings!\” Sword Demon had sent out this order through the guild channel, and the players who were still busy enjoying the party atmosphere were all shocked. There were even those who immediately thought it was some novel game as the Sharpshooters all stood up and looked all around.

\”There are so many people!\” These Sharpshooters finally realized what was happening.

There were not just players from Extremely Heaven Defying present. Members from Amethyst Rebirth and Forever In Flowers, two guilds that should have been at loggerheads with each other were both unconventionally present as guests of Extremely Heaven Defying.

Vast Lushness had already heard the news through the cries that were being propagated among them, as she hurriedly pulled out her spyglass.

It was indeed deep into the night, but the game company did not wish for players to not want to come online and play the game just because of the issues that come with nightfall, so they had intentionally made the moonlight in Parallel World exceptionally bright. Even though it was not daylight, it was at least able to provide the most basic of lighting to the players.

\”There's really people coming over, and it's a lot of them!\” Vast Lushness corroborated.
