Chapter 107 The PK Value Conspiracy

Everyone was at a loss. Some on the rooftops even lowered their heads, searching the street, assuming the archer had accidentally fallen off.

When they realized this wasn't a special circumstance, and the archer had simply been instantly killed, everyone went crazy.

Being instantly killed by Fireball was unheard of since the game's release.

As a mage's most basic spell, Fireball had the advantages of being quick to cast, using little mana, and having a bit of auto-targeting. At the same time, low attack power was an unavoidable curse of a basic spell.

To be able to instantly kill someone with Fireball, how strong would that person's magic attack power have to be? Everyone knew how much magic attack power the current mainstream level 30 characters gained from stat allocation. Therefore, it could only be said that Gu Fei's equipment was terrifying.

But Gu Fei was clearly holding a sword! Where did a sword get magic attack power?

Everyone found it unbelievable.

Actually, it wasn't hard to understand. Gu Fei's equipment wasn't ridiculously overpowered, but it was high-end equipment, the gold and purple letters among high-end equipment. It was like someone armed with an AK-47 fighting against someone with a broadsword and spear – the firepower was completely different.

Gu Fei couldn't fully reach the Nightflow Sword's sword coefficient, so he couldn't unleash the sword's maximum physical damage. But he could reach the sword's magic coefficient, even though he had never allocated any points to Intelligence.

This was something Gu Fei himself didn't know. The reason he could reach it was the mage's innate magic coefficient bonus, and the "Magic Proficiency +1" on the Night Spirit Robe.

Gu Fei was startled when he blasted the other guy to death with a Fireball.

Damn, the magic power is too strong! In comparison, my kung fu damage is so weak! Gu Fei felt aggrieved at this moment, feeling unworthy for his kung fu.

Then he pointed his sword at the sky...

A mage on the rooftop reacted quickly, and after a sudden shock, shouted, "Crap, Heavenly Fire Wheel, run!"

The guys on the rooftop immediately fled in panic.

Gu Fei was taken aback. What thing?

Heavenly Fire Wheel, a level 24 mage skill. It summoned a fire wheel from the sky to spin and burn the earth, a spell with area-of-effect damage, currently the main skill for mages to level up.

Gu Fei felt lost. He hadn't heard of this term because he hadn't learned it.

Gu Fei's spell list only had three things: level 0 Fireball, level 6 Repelling Fire Ring, and level 30 Consecutive Fireballs.

What the level 12, 18, and 24 spells were, Gu Fei hadn't learned, let alone know.

The guys on the rooftop were fleeing in horror, thinking, if Gu Fei had cast a Heavenly Fire Wheel just now, would anyone on the rooftop still be alive? They had all been huddled in the corner, trying to ambush Gu Fei below, which was perfect for a Heavenly Fire Wheel to wipe them all out. This guy probably just didn't want to increase his PK value so much at once, so he cast a small Fireball as a warning!

Everyone felt that Gu Fei had shown mercy. These guys were all on the way from level 30 to level 31, and had accumulated a lot of experience. They definitely didn't want to die at this time.

Gu Fei blankly withdrew his sword and turned to look at the others on the street.

In their eyes, Gu Fei's sword was like a demon, as if it was about to devour them.

"Run!" Someone shouted, and everyone scattered.

Fast thieves used Sprint, slow thieves used Stealth, and the slowest warrior cried, "Wait for me!" He wiped away tears as he chased after the disappearing figures of his thief comrades.

"Why are you all running?" Gu Fei was very disappointed. He had just prepared himself to bear more PK value. These people were too unkind, didn't they know that wasting other people's feelings was a very shameful thing?

"Master!" Coward Savior, who was running until his back ached, came over.

"Don't call me that!" Gu Fei was in a bad mood! Of course, he wouldn't go so far as to take it out on Coward Savior.

"Are you okay?" Gu Fei asked.

"I'm fine."

"Let's go!" Gu Fei waved at him.

"Where are we going?" Coward Savior followed closely behind.

"To wash off PK value," Gu Fei said, with tears streaming down his face.

After passion and excitement, there was always an inescapable urge for punishment. PK value was just one of them. What was even more regrettable was that the disguise he had just bought to hide his identity was exposed again.

The PK mission he had previously accepted hadn't been completed yet. Gu Fei checked the coordinates and rushed to the location. At this time, his PK value had returned to 11.

At the wanted mission posting location on Fourth Avenue in Moonlit Night City, many members of the Qian Chen guild had arrived.

Qian Chen guild's second-in-command, Lan Yi, asked, "Are you sure it was him who killed the guild leader?"

Several people nodded quickly. "I recognize his clothes and the sword in his hand."

"This person is a mage?" Lan Yi was very surprised.

The dazed Mang Mang next to him also felt incredulous. They couldn't identify this person, and he hadn't used any skills in the battle, so they couldn't figure out his profession. Later, they heard the returning guild members report that this person had used Fireball, so he was definitely a mage.

Lan Yi flipped through the wanted missions for players in Moonlit Night City and was stunned. "There's no one with a PK value above 4. He just killed four of you?"

"Including me, four..." A certain archer said shamefully. He was the one Gu Fei had instantly killed with Fireball. If he had dodged at the time, he might have been able to avoid it, but he was too confident.

"In that case, he's definitely not a player from Moonlit Night City," Mang Mang said definitively.

This reminded everyone, and Lan Yi shuddered and said, "Could it be that close-combat mage from Cloudrise City?"

Everyone entered the general list of wanted missions. The number 27149 was at the top, with a bright red PK value of 11, the only one in the entire Parallel World with a PK value in double digits.

What was currently being hyped up in the forums wasn't the close-combat mage's strange stat allocation, magic equipment, or combat techniques. What everyone admired most was this person's fearless spirit.

In the entire Parallel World, even the most enthusiastic PK players would carefully control their PK value below 10, or even 5. A high PK value would easily attract the pursuit of wanted hunters, and it would take too long to wash off the PK value. Bearing the pressure of losing 2 or even more levels from death for such a long time was not something everyone could withstand.

The fierce 15 PK value of 27149 was a peak that many people felt would never be surpassed, because it was a record that no one would challenge.

"What do we do next?" Lan Yi asked Mang Mang. Although Mang Mang had no position in the guild and wasn't a core member, as the guild leader's wife, everyone gave her some face. She was a nameless but powerful type. What's more, this girl was really a master, a good-looking and fun-loving girl, which was a treasure in online games. She was very popular in the Qian Chen guild.

"Is that even a question? Of course, we accept the mission!" Mang Mang said. "Call everyone in the guild who's online."

In a town like Moonlit Night City, where the PK atmosphere was very strong, guilds were obviously much more united than in Cloudrise City. After all, you could level up on your own in online games, but fighting mostly depended on friends. How to have more and more stable friends? A guild was naturally the best choice.

Moreover, with the Qian Chen guild's reputation protecting them, the benefits they received in Moonlit Night City were obvious to everyone. In such a guild, the guild leader or any powerful figure could easily make things happen. With a call from Lan Yi and Mang Mang, the online members of Qian Chen, whether willing or forced, flocked to the wanted mission posting location from all directions.

"Accept the wanted mission for 27149, find this person, but don't alarm him. Just follow him carefully after you find him," Mang Mang succinctly issued the order in the guild.

The Qian Chen members lined up in an orderly manner to accept the mission. The surrounding players were shocked: What big move was Qian Chen going to make this time? Which guild were they going to destroy?

"The coordinates have been updated!" A group of people who had already accepted the mission suddenly shouted.

"Those who have received the coordinates, set off," Mang Mang waved.

Before long, all the Qian Chen members who didn't have a wanted mission accepted the mission for 27149 and set off according to the updated coordinates.

Mang Mang looked around and suddenly shouted, "Everyone, 27149, who has a PK value of 11 on the wanted PK list, is currently in our Moonlit Night City! Hurry up and accept the mission!"

The mission location immediately exploded, with people asking, "Really?"

Mang Mang nodded clearly. However, the wave that was stirred up was still far less than in Cloudrise City.

After all, those who hadn't personally experienced Gu Fei's chase of Bu Xiaochang weren't as curious and interested in him. Simply from a mission perspective, the wanted reward for 11 PK value was definitely very generous, but most people had to weigh whether their strength was enough to earn this pot of gold. Who was the opponent? Just the fact that his PK value dared to be in double digits was an understatement to say he was one in ten thousand. With the current number of players in the Parallel World, he was one in a million.

And the reason why the wanted mission location in Moonlit Night City was so lively was mainly because many people needed missions to wash off PK value. These people would definitely not touch this thorny issue. In general, people only had 1 or 2 PK value, was it necessary to touch this devil with 11 PK value? Don't end up failing to kill him and getting killed instead, which would cause them to lose 2 levels in one go.

In the end, those who would accept this mission were either greedy for the mission reward of 11 PK value, or were just as curious about this close-combat mage.

"It seems like not many people are accepting the mission!" Lan Yi said to Mang Mang, seeing the situation.

Mang Mang smiled. "That's for the best. I was worried that there would be too many people for this guy to handle."

"What do you mean?" Lan Yi asked, puzzled.

"Me? I just hope his PK value gets even higher... It'll be more fun to kill him that way!" Mang Mang said.

Lan Yi gasped. This woman was really too insidious.
