Chapter 36 Idealistic

Qi Yue’s idea was somewhat idealistic. It’s impossible to satisfy everyone in any group. Her idea of extremely respecting individual wishes was somewhat Westernized. China advocates collectivism, so the principle of the minority submitting to the majority is often used when dealing with problems.

At this moment, except for Qi Yue, who retained her true thoughts, the other girls in Rebirth Amethyst were unanimous, expressing their opinions and trying to persuade Gu Fei to stay.

This made Gu Fei even more confused. Amidst the chattering, he weakly asked, “Huh? When did I say I was leaving the guild?”

The guild channel fell silent instantly. Your thoughts can really run wild. Yun Zhong Mudi wanted to pry open the girls’ mouths with gold coins, just to find out a name. This matter… had absolutely nothing to do with whether Gu Fei was leaving the guild or not.

“Oh, oh…” The girls came to their senses and stopped discussing the issue, continuing with what they were doing. Only a few who had some personal relationships with Gu Fei were still communicating with him privately.

“Be careful when making friends, and be careful not to go astray,” Luo Luo advised Gu Fei.

“People in big guilds mostly like to bully others, don’t you do that!” Liu Xia had been hurt by big guilds.

“Those big guilds are super annoying, there’s no point,” Xiyao Wu advised Gu Fei as someone who had been there before. Obviously, with her strength, joining any big guild was just a matter of snapping her fingers.

“That Yun Zhong Mudi is super silly, he doesn’t even know that the wheat in the soil should be found in the soil,” June’s Rain said.

Gu Fei felt sad for Yun Zhong Mudi. It was like taking an extremely important exam and finding that there was only one question on the test paper: 1+1=? How many people would dare to write 2 and hand it in immediately? Or perhaps 1+1 could indeed have other answers, but if the question setter was June’s Rain, then the answer to this question would definitely be 2. Yun Zhong Mudi must have been confused by concern, which led to June’s Rain making fun of his IQ. Pitiful!

Gu Fei sighed and arrived at Little Lei Tavern.

The girls’ mercenary group had been eliminated yesterday, and they had no match to play at seven o’clock. Gu Fei still had to participate in the competition on behalf of Young Master’s Elite Group. It was almost time, so he came to the tavern to meet with the others as usual.

“I switched to the lightning element!” Lifting the curtain and entering, the other five were already there. Gu Fei immediately announced the news.

“Ah?” The others looked at him.

“Lightning, descend!” Gu Fei waved his hand, and a bolt of lightning struck the table from the ceiling, causing smoke to rise.

“Stop it!” You Ge’s face turned pale. The lightning struck a little too close to him. They all knew how terrifying Gu Fei’s spell damage was. The room was so small, and if Gu Fei accidentally shook his hand, the lightning could strike him.

“It’s okay, I don’t have a weapon,” Gu Fei said, taking a seat.

“Why did you suddenly change your mind and switch to the lightning element?” You Ge asked.

“I heard that the lightning element has a skill called Blink, which will be very useful to me,” Gu Fei said.

The experts all gasped.

They knew Gu Fei better, so they could better realize how much of a chemical reaction Gu Fei would have after possessing Blink.

“Blink, how did I forget, mages all have Blink!” Yu Tian Shen Ming muttered to himself.

Gu Fei’s strength struck these former game experts again and again. Although everyone was friends now, unconsciously, they had already established Gu Fei as an imaginary enemy. How to deal with this guy was something they had all considered in their hearts.

And Yu Tian Shen Ming, after possessing the "Wind Chasing Boots," had a movement speed superior to Gu Fei, which made him feel that he already had the capital to compete with Gu Fei. He didn’t even realize that his initial idea of dealing with Gu Fei was already taking an unconventional path.

He actually wanted to use the “kiting” tactic to avoid being approached by Gu Fei.

Historically, it was always mages who worried about being approached by others, but at this time, they were worried about being approached by a mage.

Gu Fei’s combat style, which reversed the professional style, caused all the skills of that profession to have a reversed effect. For example, "Double Flame Flash," a generally useless skill for mages, became the most powerful move in Gu Fei’s hands. And "Blink," a skill that was originally used for maneuvering and defense, became an absolute skill for launching attacks in his hands.

“Mages can be played like this!” The experts all sighed.

“I just heard that the Blink skill seems to require a very high level to learn, so I want to get a scroll. I hope I can get a scroll in today’s match,” Gu Fei waved his wrist.

You Ge shook his head repeatedly: “You need something, and the system just happens to give it to you? There’s no such good luck.”

“Then how can I get it?” Gu Fei asked.

“Acquire it!” You Ge said, “Post a message on the forum, acquiring the Eternal Scroll of Blink throughout the game. This is much more reliable than you relying on luck like this.”

“This… will it be very expensive?” Gu Fei was worried. He had fully experienced the embarrassment of having no money today.

“Well, the value of a skill scroll depends on the practicality of the skill itself. But the problem is that most of the skills that appear in scroll form are not yet mastered by the players, so the practicality is not easy to assess. If you want to trade, you can only rely on some experience from previous games to judge,” You Ge said.

“Then what about the Blink skill? Isn’t it said that most online games have it?” Gu Fei said.

“The Blink skill is generally instant, but the cooldown time is relatively long. It is impossible to rely entirely on it to move and maneuver with opponents. The most common use is to escape, or to move to some unattainable positions. The value can only be said to be average! It’s a little cheaper with it, but it doesn’t matter without it,” You Ge said.

“That’s because you don’t know how to use it,” Yu Tian Shen Ming interjected.

You Ge was expressionless: “What determines the value of a commodity is the understanding of it by most people, not you few experts. If you price it according to your standards, then the price of Blink should be sky-high for Qian Li.”

“That’s right, little brat, don’t interrupt if you don’t understand,” Gu Fei said to Yu Tian Shen Ming.

“Hey, you’re a lightning mage now, do you want my lightning skill scroll?” Yu Tian Shen Ming attempted to lure Gu Fei to lower his head in front of him with this.

As a result, Gu Fei didn’t even think about it: “What’s the use of that garbage?”

Although Yu Tian Shen Ming had never seen the Wall of Current, judging from the description, it should be similar to a Fire Wall. If used properly, it would be a very useful skill, and its value should at least be higher than Blink. Unfortunately, Gu Fei’s understanding of these skills was different, and the conclusion he came to could only make Yu Tian Shen Ming vomit blood.

“You’re not a mage!” Yu Tian Shen Ming said angrily.

Everyone ignored him. You Ge continued, “Actually, these things are not afraid of being expensive, but afraid of being unavailable. But now it’s the system mission, so there will definitely be players who get this reward. And the skill scrolls are distributed regardless of profession, so people like Yu Tian, who are unlucky, should be very common…”

“You’re unlucky, you’re unlucky!” Yu Tian Shen Ming shouted.

Gu Fei pulled out his sword and placed it horizontally on the table, the tip of the sword pointing at Yu Tian Shen Ming. He said to You Ge, “You Ge, continue.”

You Ge smiled and continued, “So you should hurry up and post on the forum to acquire it!”

“But I don’t have any money now… Even if this thing is cheap, it must be over a thousand gold coins, right?” Gu Fei said.

You Ge nodded.

“Let’s pool it together!” Jian Gui spoke, “I have over 200 gold coins here.”

“I also have over 200, but I have to save some money for wine,” Han Jia Gongzi said.

“I have over 300 here,” You Ge said.

“Damn, you’re all rich people, I only have 50 gold coins left,” Zhan Wu Shang said depressedly.

“Hahahaha, you bunch of paupers, I have… huh, how come I only have over 400!” Yu Tian Shen Ming was laughing wildly, but in the blink of an eye, he began to cry. He had made a fortune in his business with Xiyao Wu. This kind of person who got rich by selling a top-quality piece of equipment was a nouveau riche in online games. The money came quickly, and it went quickly.

“Tsk tsk, everyone is not doing well this time! Pretty poor,” Han Jia Gongzi said. Experts in online games are generally not too poor, especially famous top experts like them. Although a few hundred gold coins was already richer than ordinary players, for their understanding, there was such a tall shadow of Gu Fei in terms of strength, and they were also so financially strapped. They really played this game a bit desolately.

The others, upon hearing Han Jia Gongzi’s sigh, all stared at him with wide eyes.

“The layout for this confrontation is already mature, and the time for the mercenary group to make a name for itself is coming! Are you still afraid of not making money in the future?” Han Jia Gongzi said.

“Let’s not talk about the future yet,” You Ge said, “Right now, there’s only over 1100 in total, which is probably not enough. After all, this Eternal Skill Scroll is a new thing, and the price will generally only be high, not low. And it’s not necessarily just you who is acquiring it. Once there are more monks than porridge, and a price war breaks out, you really have no confidence without three to five thousand.”

Gu Fei was troubled. He had just experienced the embarrassment of having no money, how did it come again in the blink of an eye? And this time, the demand was obviously higher. Even if he sold all the junk in his warehouse at the market price, it still wouldn’t be enough.

“Qian Li, hurry up and hook up with Xiyao Wu, I think…” Yu Tian Shen Ming didn’t continue, because the tip of Gu Fei’s sword moved.

“Go sell yourself! The whole city is looking for you, there must be a generous reward!” Zhan Wu Shang said.

“That’s not much, only 20 gold coins are given,” You Ge said.

Everyone’s eyes turned to him.

“Uh, what are you thinking, I was just passing by, passing by…” You Ge said.

“Which reception point did you find? I heard it was 30 gold coins!” Zhan Wu Shang said.

“I also heard it was 30!” Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

Gu Fei was speechless. Luo Luo’s worry was absolutely correct, he really had made some bad friends.
