Chapter 489 - Carefully Planned
“Calculate? What are we calculating?” Svelte Dancer asked
“The route of Giordano's courtyard inspectionthis dehuh time to accomplish the assassination How can we succeed if we don't calculate?” Gu Fei explained
“Then, hurry up and do it,” Svelte Dancer urged
“This isn'tsuit… It's not like I'm an arithmetic teacher,” Gu Fei muttered even as he took out his few days' worth of notes He had made a note of Giordano's route and of the locations that would draw less attention At a glance, he could tell that these few positions he had singled out would all be useful, as these were the spots Giordano would be alone after the fog obscured the courtyard
However, the dehumidifier would automatically switch on after 3 minutes and would complete its task in 1 minute and 22 seconds, which meant that Gu Fei would only have 4 minutes and 22 seconds to coht not even be 4 ht The dehu process, so 1 minute and 22 seconds is the ti, and in the process of clearing it, the fog itself will thin out and the visibility afforded will subsequently increase The eneht discover my presence earlier than the allocated tienerous
Four minutes… This should not be a probleht, but the opponent he was facing would be a BOSS-level NPC All the BOSSES Gu Fei had challenged froame up to now; be it Sooto, the trashy Mr Adrian that had lost its ability to transforest out of the three, Shadowmist assassin; not one of these battles were completed within 4 minutes Every BOSS he had faced shared the co an obscene ah of an attack or how outrageous its skills were, it was entirely unbecole stroke; A BOSS that could not last in coood BOSS at all
“Slaying a BOSS in 4 minutes?” Sword Demon had quite the scare when he received this news fro wiped in 4 h Sword Dee-scale siege of a BOSS in Parallel World, he was nevertheless someone who had his fair share of such experiences in other MMOs As long as it was a MMO, various aspects of a ga a BOSS in 4 h-level player bullying a low-level BOSS Meanwhile, it would be too much of a waste if players were able to easily and efficiently take down a BOSS on the sa the fact that this diary belonged to the Shadowmist assassin, a well-known overleveled BOSS, it only et Giordano would at least be of the saher, than itself Four minutes to slay a BOSS was far too preposterous”
“No ht?” Gu Fei said
“No This is an entirely ie output is another matter entirely; there's no way you'd be able to kill a BOSS in 4 minutes even if it were to stand there and take your every hit If this is truly how the quest is designed, then the assassination of Giordanoelse to it” Sword Deamer after all, so his analysis of this matter was sensible and methodical
“Okay, that makes sense Could he have perhaps some sort of hidden weakness?” Gu Fei asked
“Is there any other clue in the diary that says this?” Sword Demon asked back
“Diary…” Gu Fei wondered out loud as he flipped through the pages hastily, finding all the portions of the diary that mentioned Giordano The first time it spoke of Giordano, the Shadow a little mental collapse; it had recorded all that it could remember in an effort to maintain clarity of its mind As for this quest that it had yet to accomplish, it made sure to mention it many tih all the contents about Giordano and finally realized that there were plenty of clues hidden between those lines
'Everybody has a unique habit When doing so of habit, people often find themselves to be at their least alert Giordano, what's your habit? I will surely discover it!' Gu Fei noted this line and i us to capitalize on Giordano's habit Odd; why didn't I notice this line the first time around…”
“Least alert when doing so of habit… Did itits patrol and can be killed in one blow?” Svelte Dancer guessed
“It can't be that simple!” Sword Demon refuted “What else is there?”
Using the glow froh the diary even as he tried to recall what he had read He had a vague impression that there was soht in the parts where Giordano was mentioned, yet he was uncertain if it was because he was feeling a little flustered right now or so clearly All he could do was continuously flip through the diary, stopping whenever Giordano was mentioned
Finally, Gu Fei found the information he needed
“Right here!” he shouted triumphantly
“What?” the two hurriedly asked
“'Giordano? Famed for his swordsmanshi+p? Do you knohat it feels like to lose your confidence? Ha ha ha ha! Let me help you with that I will let your physical body recollect what it is like to suffer grievous injuries by utterly getting rid of any self-confidence you possess before I viciously wipe you froe – the very line he had been searching for all this while This was already near the end of the diary, where the collapse of the Shadowmist assassin's state of froid was alone and only madness remained
“'Famed for his swordsmanshi+p'… Yeah; that's surely not easy to deal with That's the line you're looking for?” Svelte Dancer asked
“No, it's this other line! 'Let your physical body recollect what it is like to suffer grievous injuries'!” Gu Fei explained “You can tell from the choice of words used that Giordano has been heavily injured previously, so perhaps that's where his weakness lies”
“Heavy injury? What injury? Where? Is it written down somewhere?” Sword Demon asked
“No…” Gu Fei shook his head If that were the case, it would be obvious infor taken note of
“Isn't that as good as not knowing anything, then?” Sword Demon asked
“Well… Perhaps I'll be able to find out when I exchange bloith it,” Gu Fei answered
The two Thieves hung their ape “You can do that?”
“Of course We've already established that this game's creation is extremely life-like, so this heavy injury Giordano previous sustained should not just be a flippant remark,” Gu Fei answered confidently
“Or perhaps you've drawn the wrong conclusion? This diary s of a mad man,” Svelte Dancer said
“But there's nothing else we can draw from e've discovered That's all there is about Giordano in this diary here You've both seen it as well; did you find anything else?” Gu Fei asked
The two shook their heads
