Chapter 15 Eddi's Mission

Since Xiao Yu claimed to be a mission expert, Gu Fei simply asked him for advice, "Do you know what Eddie's mission is?"

"This is a mission chain. It's different every time. How would I know? You're so stupid!" Xiao Yu said.

Gu Fei felt very wronged. To be called stupid by this silly girl, could there be anything more unjust in the world?

"But I know a mission called 'Eddie in Distress'. I don't know if it's related to yours," Xiao Yu said.

"Tell me about it," Gu Fei said.

"The wandering warrior Eddie was attacked by bandits while passing through Wulong Mountain and was imprisoned by the bandit leader, Suo Tu. Find a way to rescue him." Xiao Yu recited like a textbook.

"Oh? You've taken this mission?" Gu Fei asked.

"No, I heard people say it, but no one has completed it because they don't know where Eddie is being held!" Xiao Yu said.

"He's in Suo Tu's house!" Gu Fei blurted out.

"How do you know?" Xiao Yu asked.

"The Eddie in my mission is the one you're talking about. How could I not know where he is?" Gu Fei said.

"Oh! Information, I have to write it down quickly." Xiao Yu suddenly threw the sack on the ground and took out a small notebook and a quill pen from her pocket. Gu Fei leaned closer and saw Xiao Yu carefully writing in her notebook: Eddie, in Suo Tu's house.

"Uh... Suo Tu's house, is that his bedroom?" Xiao Yu suddenly turned to ask Gu Fei.

"This... probably!" Gu Fei replied.

"Why would he lock Eddie in his bedroom?" Xiao Yu pondered. "Could there be an unspeakable secret between them?"

"Hmm, possibly," Gu Fei said.

"Brokeback Mountain?" Xiao Yu said.

"Perhaps!"

"You think so too?" Xiao Yu was very happy.

Gu Fei was speechless. Then he saw Xiao Yu carefully add a line to the Eddie information: Has an affair with Suo Tu.

"Okay! Let's continue." After writing, Xiao Yu put away her paper and pen and picked up the sack again.

"What's in the sack?" Gu Fei patted it.

"Food," Xiao Yu said.

"Food?" Gu Fei was puzzled.

"We don't know how long it will take to get to Yeguang Village. I'm afraid I'll get hungry on the way, so I brought some food," Xiao Yu said.

Staying online in the game for more than ten hours without logging off would indeed make one feel hungry, but this hunger was definitely a real sensation. It was caused by not eating for more than ten hours while gaming. Eating food in the game wouldn't solve any problems. Food in the game could only restore health or stamina when in a static state.

Even if it were useful, there was no need to pack a whole sack of it! With a sack of food, Gu Fei estimated that it would be enough for the Long March if she ate sparingly. He didn't believe that this Yeguang Village was twenty-five thousand *li* away.

"It's not just food! There's also water. Are you thirsty? Do you want a drink?" After hearing Gu Fei's question, Xiao Yu immediately responded, putting down the sack to get water for Gu Fei.

"No, no, I'm not thirsty yet." Gu Fei quickly stopped her.

In the blink of an eye, the two walked for another hour, and the few things they could talk about were exhausted. It was quite tiring to talk to Xiao Yu. For example, if you told her a joke, you would need to give her three minutes to react. In those three minutes, Gu Fei had already forgotten the point of telling the joke. And the jokes that Xiao Yu told Gu Fei were the kind that Gu Fei didn't find funny at all. For example, "I have a friend who bumped into a tree while walking one day, hahaha..."

Xiao Yu laughed heartily, and Gu Fei could only squeeze out a smile and pretend.

But no matter what, with a companion by your side, even the longest road wouldn't feel too tiring. Because when you see someone else doing the same thing as you, you know that even if the thing is stupid, you're not the only idiot, and that's a kind of comfort.

Under the two people's persevering efforts, the Wulong Mountain Range was finally left behind. In front of them reappeared a vast plain, wasteland, hills, and forests, similar to those outside Cloudrise City. Gu Fei looked at the time. It had taken them a full three hours to cross the Wulong Mountain Range. Of course, after discovering that no one was chasing them and that he had Xiao Yu as a partner, Gu Fei was no longer running like crazy. The two were moving in a uniform straight line on foot.

What made Gu Fei even more gratified was that there were finally NPC monsters in front of him. In the plan with Han Jia公子 and the others, Gu Fei was arranged to run to such a remote place with monsters and grind for 30 hours to wash away his PK value before returning to Cloudrise City.

He originally thought that there would be monsters on the Wulong Mountain Range, but all he saw along the way were clouds and fog. It was good to have a girl by his side in this misty environment, but unfortunately, this girl was a sworn brother to him, and there was basically no romantic beauty to be found. So looking back on these three hours, saying it was a waste was an understatement.

Gu Fei's hands were already itching. He rushed up, pulled out his knife, and gave the monster a hit. The monster was instantly killed by him. With Gu Fei's attack power, without a law-attached attack, the monster was instantly killed. One could imagine what level this monster was.

"That's not right!" Gu Fei muttered to himself. According to the basic idea of online games, the farther away from a big city like Cloudrise, the higher the level of the training area should be. He had spent three hours crossing the Wulong Mountain Range, only to end up in such a pathetic place. This was too tragic!

"The monsters here are such low level!" Gu Fei said to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu didn't seem to hear Gu Fei. She looked into the distance, muttering, "Where is Yeguang Village?"

"Do you know?" Xiao Yu even turned to ask Gu Fei.

"I... let me help you ask!" Gu Fei was impressed by her courage to spend three hours crossing the Wulong Mountain Range without knowing where she was going, and decided to help her ask.

Gu Fei opened his friend list. There was an even greater information king than You Ge—Hongchen Yixiao.

"Are you there? I want to ask something," Gu Fei said.

"I am a self-disciplined game worker..." Hongchen Yixiao said.

"Automatic reply?" Gu Fei asked.

"No..."

"Then why is it always this sentence?" Gu Fei said.

"Because you know my real identity," Hongchen Yixiao said.

"You exposed that yourself!"

"Then should I silence you?"

"..."

"What do you want to ask? I'll say what I can," Hongchen Yixiao said.

"Oh, I want to ask how to get to Yeguang Village... just point me in the right direction. There's nothing I can't say, right?" Gu Fei said.

"Yo, have you found a clue to your mission chain?" Hongchen Yixiao said.

"What? What clue?" Gu Fei was puzzled.

"...I didn't say anything," Hongchen Yixiao said.

"How do I get to Yeguang Village? Can't you even say that?"

"That's relatively far. First, you have to cross the Wulong Mountain Range," Hongchen Yixiao replied.

"I've already crossed it."

"Wow, you ran so far. That must have been hard on you!" Hongchen Yixiao said.

"...Which way should I go next?" Gu Fei asked.

"Next? Just ask someone you see. The players over there should all know!" Hongchen Yixiao said.

"Players? Are there players here?" Gu Fei looked around, but there was no one.

"You just crossed the mountain range, right? That's still far from the main city. Continue heading northwest, and you can reach the main city, Moonlight City. The players there will definitely know how to get to Yeguang Village," Hongchen Yixiao said.

"The monsters are so far from the main city. Why are their levels so low?" Gu Fei asked.

"Decoration, they're all decorations. Who would come here for no reason?" Hongchen Yixiao said.

"Alright, thank you!" Gu Fei said.

"No problem. But there's something I want to remind you," Hongchen Yixiao said.

"What?" Gu Fei asked.

"The wanted mission is a server-wide wanted mission. That means players in Moonlight City can also see 27149 on the wanted list. But because it will be marked that you belong to Cloudrise City, no one should accept it. But you can't guarantee that, can you? So be careful," Hongchen Yixiao said.

"Isn't that against the rules?" Gu Fei said.

"What rule is that breaking? Anyone who has carefully read the introduction to the wanted missions knows that. Just think of me as a very serious player," Hongchen Yixiao said.

"Then thanks. I'll buy you a drink when I get back to Cloudrise City," Gu Fei said.

"You're welcome."

"I'm not saying anymore. I'm on my way." Gu Fei closed the chat.

"Damn it, I let it slip..." Hongchen Yixiao, who was in Cloudrise City, muttered to himself. His attention to Gu Fei had not stopped. Yesterday's action-packed drama of Thousand Miles Drunk chasing and killing Bu Xiaohao had also excited him. In addition, he had been paying attention to the progress of the mission chain that Gu Fei had received.

The mission chain was one of the highlights of "Parallel World". From design to arrangement to synthesis, it had killed countless brain cells of the designers. It was the proud work of Hongchen Yixiao's design team. Even they themselves were excited every time they thought of the possible plot and story in a mission chain. After learning that Gu Fei had received a mission chain, Hongchen Yixiao immediately adjusted the files and flipped through the data, memorizing this randomly generated mission chain by heart. But Gu Fei, the real owner of this mission chain, had not taken any action on this mission.

This feeling was like a perfect work of art being unappreciated and unwelcome, which made Hongchen Yixiao very anxious. When he heard Gu Fei asking about Yeguang Village just now, he was immediately delighted and thought that Gu Fei had found a clue. But it turned out that it was not the case at all. He had accidentally given him the information himself. Thinking back on it now, he was very depressed, and he only hoped that Gu Fei had not noticed.

But how could Gu Fei not have noticed? At this time, while heading towards Moonlight City with Xiao Yu, he was chewing on his words.
