Chapter 134-136 (1/2)
Chapter 134 - Ga Silver Moon with extreme disdain, yet the latter did not even notice it After winning everyone's sympathy with his speech, the relationshi+p between everyone in the cell seemed to have become closer Silver Moon was truly leader ed to become the core of the cell occupants with just a feords Gu Fei felt disgruntled when he saw everyone instinctively gravitating and crowding around Silver Moon
After Silver Moon's sob story, he addressed everyone anew, ”Everyone's pretty bored, right? Coood to pass the time!”
”What is it?” everyone asked, curious
Silver Moon bealy opened his palhtly afterward Three dice lay on Silver Moon's pally asked, and everyone excitedly nodded their heads
”Why don't you guys join us as well?” Silver Moon beckoned Gu Fei's 'customers' that were huddled in the opposite corner of the cell After Gu Fei successfully countered their plan to appeal to Royal God Call's 'custolumly maintained their distance from the rest of the cell occupants
The men looked at one another for a while Iladly participate in so that could allow the due to their pride
”Come on! It's better withto address his two co theet up, but the players already used that excuse to head over Gu Fei chuckled impassively, Pull? Pull, my as There's no way for players to have contact with one another in a safe zone like this cell
Silver Moon proved to have quite a good grasp of people's hearts, yet he forgot to consider so everyone, Silver Moon finally noticed that Gu Fei did not join them, so he quickly waved at him, ”Brother Miles, come and join us in the fun, too!”
”No, thanks” Gu Fei s, ”I'o ahead” With that, he folded his arms and placed them behind his head like a pillow and lay down Silver Moon felt quite disappointed He really wanted to pull Gu Fei to his side, but this Mage was not receptive to his ain, Gu Fei turned to his side and faced his butt to him Thus, Silver Moon could only shat he had wanted to say
Everyone of course kne to play with dice With howdid not depend on luck but on their vocal cords instead
Hoould Gu Fei sleep with such a din? He began to regret his earlier decision Lying down for two hours in such a noisy environood as self-punishot up and turned around Silver Moon had a sly suess you can't sleep!”
Gu Fei nodded his head, ”Forget it! I'll join in as well!”
Silver Moon beaht and vacated a spot for Gu Fei to sit in, ”That's right; it's boring to do nothing Oh, yeah How long are you in here for?”
”Two hours,” Gu Fei casually replied
”Oh How about you guys?” Silver Moon asked the rest of the players
When fellow cellmates met for the first time, their usual question to one another was ”How many hours?”, so no one found Silver Moon's question suspicious All stated their prison time Since Royal God Call and Gu Fei had specifically chosen players with high PK value as their bounty targets, all these players had quite a long duration ahead of the the shortest time with only two hours after all stated their imprisonment duration, yet these players entered the prison earlier, so all were at the final stretch of their stay
This last portion was usually the hardest to endure, so a theely entertaining as gas in stride, so he iame Because he did not have the saaambled with a sort of 'did not h that orthy of praise, the aame decreased by quite a bit
The other players were different; they hooted, hollered, and stared at one another with co When they won, they wanted to win more; when they lost, they wanted to recover their loss This was how people found ga so addictive Furthermore, most players were not rich and so funds after a short while
This hen Silver Moon would swoop in and lend the that it was a loan
Those players who had received a loan from him naturally continued to play If they won, they would pay up; if they lost, they would borrow some more
After a while, it became a habit for everyone to borrow so they had Silver Moon did not reject any of thea coins froold coins from Silver Moon in total
Silver Moon's dubious character made Gu Fei suspicious of all this However, he had yet to discover anything shady after observing the ga style was simplistic There was no specific dealer or player When it caest number would win the whole pot If there were two saame entirely dependent on luck and it was the si that did not need any consideration whatsoever
After observing the players' winning and losing expressions, he realized that all of theaaht that Silver Moon had soa with a dice cup, Gu Fei would not be able to roll out any particular result But if it was a straight toss like what they were doing now, although he did not have any practice in doing so, Gu Fei had the dexterity to toss out the numbers he needed three out of ten times This was much better odds compared to others who purely depended on luck
Gu Fei did not see a need to use it, though, so he honestly depended on his luck toout his required nuht of it as a harder feat to accoer to kill someone If he had to do such tosses, Gu Fei reckoned that his wrist and hand would iers was truly very difficult
And so, the bunch of cell occupants continued to engage in their theoretically illegal gaht for ould lose or win, only that they could while their time away One after another, the players were sent out of the prison once their ti pot right before he left Just as he happily pounced upon the pile of coins, his time in prison was up and he was unceremoniously sent out before he could put even 1 copper coin inside his dimensional pocket Everyone becaa would have a countdown timer on how much time was left before the players could be released froa against ti was clearly displayed in everyone's attitude Seeing that their ti to leave Soa
As Gu Fei did not care about winning or losing, he naturally did not feel any attacha when he saw that his time was alhout the course of the gaold coins
At this point, the only ones left serving their time in the cell were Gu Fei and Silver Moon and his two coer exciting, so they began to chat with one another e player the moment I first laid raciously
”He he!” Gu Fei chortled
”You should consider roup in Yunduan City,” Silver Moon offered
”There - There's no need!” Gu Fei rejected once more
Silver Moon chuckled, ”Fine, I won't force you any so Add ing services were restricted in the underground prison; adding someone as a friend was part of these restricted services
Gu Fei did not give a definite answer to Silver Moon's suggestion
Silver Moon looked at the time, ”How many minutes do you have left?”
”Sixteen old coins into his ar a poker face the whole time
”You're pretty lucky; how many consecutive wins is that?” Silver Moon asked, surprised
Faking puzzlement, Gu Fei scrunched his face and openly exclaiood when there were more people around” Now only four of theold coins The content was far fewer than what it had before
The speed of the rounds between theht for every second faster than the people who had left before him now that it was his turn to leave Silver Moon pointed at hi with such vigor when everyone was here Now your luck with the rolls has beco to sap hed politely
”How er?” Silver Moon suggested
”Oh, that's great Let's have 12 gold coins as the ante,” Gu Fei readily agreed
”12 gold coins? Why is it 12 gold coins?” Silver Moon could not understand why he had picked such an odd nuhed, ”There are three of you, so a winning of 12 gold coins can be split evenly!”
Three against one; the three would win as long as one of theher roll than Gu Fei, whereas Gu Fei only had one chance to win against all three of theer about luck and was now an arithmetic equation of probability
Silver Moon's face immediately blanched when heard what Gu Fei had said, ”Miles what do youto fleece you?”
Gu Fei still had that sa?”
Silver Moon still ed expression on his face
Gu Fei said, ”Look If I truly suspected you guys of foul play, would I suggest upping the ante? Do you think I'htly softened as he nodded his head, ”I hope Miles didn't think we're that sort of people”
”How could that be,” Gu Fei laughed forcefully ”Why don't we just bet 13 gold coins, instead? How does that sound?”
”Not a problem,” Silver Moon accepted it readily
Fourteenhad to stop One of Silver Moon's companions paled, ”I have no coins left”
Gu Fei's expression was evenat the sood luck today rest entirely in these few minutes”
Silver Moon's face was ashen and he said dryly, ”Your luck is really great”
”Yeah, it is!” Gu Fei nodded his head as he began to fill his diot to his last 5 gold coins, he returned it to Silver Moon, ”I'old coins I borrowed earlier”
”Forget it It's only 5 gold coins,” Silver Moon pushed his hand away
”Take 'eold coins into Silver Moon's hands as he patted his diold coins from you”
Silver Moon's eyes twitched crazily
Gu Fei glanced at that coold coins, ”Shall I lend you souys can't continue once I leave”
The person shook his head and did not say a word
”Are you sure you don't need any?” Gu Fei asked once more
”Nope,” the person croaked
”Oh! If that's the case, I',” Gu Fei stood up
The three nodded their heads as Silver Moon said, ”Keep in touch”
”How uys in for?” Gu Fei asked instead
”About four hours uys around,” Gu Fei looked at the broke player and waved goodbye In a white flash, he found himself out of the cell
”Fck!” Just as Gu Fei disappeared, the broke player who had lost everything to Gu Fei beat the floorboards in exasperation
The other player picked up the three dice and studied the?”
”What else could it be?” Silver Moon retorted
”Skill?” someone voiced his suspicion
”If he had this skill, he would already be rich Why would he use it here to win a few shi+tty gold coins?” Silver Moon stated the obvious
The other two companions of his were speechless, neither able to make sense of what had just happened Actually, Silver Moon also did not feel good right now as he had lost et it; let's not think anyin our quest!” With that sentence, his two coet busy in the cell
Gu Fei, who had finally exited the prison, breathed a huge sigh of relief The garound prison was da inside to be so life-like because they knew that the siative effect on people's health in reality However, the psychological effect of undergoing that entire ordeal was evident Gu Fei gasped for quite a few breaths of air and instantly thought that the world was a truly wonderful place to live freely in and would never ever enter the prison again even if it meant his death After Gu Fei collected hi on the stone steps of the underground prison's entrance
As he bewilderedly backed away for a bit, the person turned its face toward his direction ”It's you,” the person said expressionlessly
It was Vast Lushness Gu Fei sighed in relief as he asked, ”Are you waiting for Silver Moon?”
Vast Lushness nodded her head, ”I sent hie and the system prompt stated that he is 'not in a serviceable area', so that probablytime in prison”
Gu Fei nodded his head, ”He's inside I saw him”
”Oh…” Vast Lushness said, yet no happiness was visible on her face
”I'”
”Bye”
Gu Fei walked off a few steps before turning back Vast Lushness sat there by the stone steps by herself, looking very loneso to face Vast Lushness
She raised her head to look at Gu Fei
”There are soan As Vast Lushness looked at hi Silver Moon had said inside the prison
Her expression actually did not change e or sadness was visible on her face and she just listened quietly to Gu Fei's recount
”I… I still want to ask him myself,” Vast Lushness finally said
Gu Fei nodded his head and walked away Turning his head backward after five steps, he shared, ”Silver Moon said he should be out in four hours or so Maybe you can log off and take a rest first”
”Alright,” Vast Lushness nodded her head
Gu Fei faced forward once more and left the area He did not look back even once and walked all the way to a log-off point and went offline
When he got online the next day, he i him to head over at Ray's Bar By the time Gu Fei entered their usual private rooroup were already there Before everyone would grind in earnest each night, the ether for a bit Truthfully, there would hardly be any form of interaction between the six if it was not for this habitual roup had not had anyone hiring the ti Master Han was not fit to be in charge of the roup's operations
Many ways existed for a uild's strength lay in its number of roup, besides the two methods mentioned, it also had the quest completion leaderboard in the Hall of Mercenaries to display the group's prowess
The leaderboard was arranged by the total number of quests taken, the nue of quest coroup The ae of coher percentage of coroup would indubitably be widely lauded
As for Young Master's Elite roup, it was not even listed there Just based on the percentage of cohest possible 100 However, when the number of completed quests was considered, people would think that the roup was a newly established one This was especially so because the roup's attainly zero
Chapter 135 - Event
The system would release a set amount of quests, which was more than the amount of requests from players who needed help, at a specific tiroup that wished to attain fa these systele day If the coh, the her Naturally, players would look for these better ranked roups to aid them in their requests
However, system-issued quests, especially those repeatable ones, were very boring Noa quest was, no one would find joy in doing it for ten times, hundred times, or thousand ti
Young Master Han was extre such dull tasks, so the roup under his leadershi+p did not even consider this route Young Master Han's plan was to becoh the word of roup before
The first step toward this development was considerably successful; the quest to takedown Mountain Bandit Leader Sooto in Oolong Cave was extre Master's Elite ure of discussion in the Hall of Mercenaries and taverns for a period of time It was this success that that had led to A them up for a request
However, No Smile was a h the success for the , it did not technically contribute to the roup's statistics
Afterward, no otherquests with extreood luck and not all players illing to expend the effort and funds to hire others to complete their quests for the Master's EliteMaster Han had lost his enthusias to help develop their prospects now that they had no business readily at hand While other roup leaders would spend days in the Hall of Mercenaries to research and choose all sorts of quests, Young Master Han would instead be at Ray's Bar drinking all day At this rate, Young Master's Elite would eventually becoroup that was hardly worth noticing
Today, with the sixMaster Han suddenly announced: ”The tiroup to establish itself is now”
Just as everyone thought that he had beco Master Han meant with a solemn tone, ”The system is about to host their first event It's a uild PvP tournament”
Most companies would use holidays or anniversaries to host special events in order to increase their gahs of the number of players online would usually be created on such days What attracted players even more as well as the main reason why players valued such events was the hard-to-obtain-elsewhere awards that the officials would give during those events
Parallel World's spokespersons stated that the upco special event was to celebrate the official release of the ga event since the game company had announced about it when the open beta was about to end Nonetheless, infor the contents of the event was kept under wraps As for dragging it for a proave players who had just joined Parallel World after its open beta days more time to increase their levels
Given how many experience points was required to level up, the distance between the levels of the players was close Two players ere at level 40 could have a difference of three days worth of grinding time in terms of experience points And yet, this difference, when translated into Strength, was barely perceptible that it would not arouse a player's sense of satisfaction
Brother assist's information sources informed him about the event's particulars before they were announced to the public Upon finding out that the event would have uild related portions, he iather everyone Since even regular players would do their best to participate in such event no matter how it ended up, experts like them would naturally try their hardest to showcase their prowess in it as well
”We must dominate this event, so that our nahout Parallel World!” After dra Master Han realized his faux-pas In this rooed his IGN, Sword Demon, Brother assist, Royal God Call, and War Without Wounds were already na community As for Gu Fei, quite the coitive 27149, seeing as he was currently acknowledged as the best player - or the secret boss - of Parallel World
Unsurprisingly, Young Master Han's speech about thehout Parallel World” did not have any i Master Han cleared his throat as he expressed his opinion once more, ”I think we otten wind of this matter, everyone should do the necessary preparations Those who have yet to advance their classes should do so at the earliest—you guys are about done with your individual research, right? Miles, can youdays before the event?”
”I don't think so,” Gu Fei said He still needed a large chunk of experience points to reach level 40!
”Has anyone here proceeded with Job Class Advance Master Han asked
Four of the to advance the job class would not affect their daily grinding, so no one was careless enough to make a choice before the research of the two available paths was done All aiting for the officials to reveal more information before they took that crucial step
”I'll leave you guys to it, then!” Young Master Han waved his hand dismissively From the others' perspective, he was sooing into details about certain s as that, he said, ”Our roups Brother assist will spend the next two days gathering inforroups here in Yunduan City and researching about thee Master Han waved his hands to adjourn the
”I'm off to continue et up He said this in a tone that sought for Gu Fei's instruction and guidance on the nal
With that, the five got up to leave one after another Young Master Han only peeked out of the room to shout, ”Liquor” over to Ray and then he sat down once more
Outside the bar, War Without Wounds and Sword Demon went about their businesses It was at this point that Gu Fei received a su as well This in itself was a hundred-year rare occurrence Having not visited the Auild house for quite some tins on the streets belonged to it
As hedown the sa up a conversation with Brother assist as they walked, Gu Fei suddenly recalled to ask hi'?”
