Chapter 21 Eternal Life in Flowers

The person before him was Yingzuka Tsukizi, the founder and president of Eternal Life in Flowers. When it came to sleaziness, he was definitely the sleaziest person Gu Fei had ever met. What was even more appalling was that such a sleazy person had a harmless, even adorable appearance, cuter than Yu Tian Shen Ming.

Gu Fei's appearance made him very nervous. In his mind, a man who could mingle in a purely female guild like a fish in water was probably a legendary lover, making him a formidable rival. So, as soon as he saw Gu Fei, he started making excuses. Before Gu Fei could say anything, he had already begun to back down, eventually resorting to "first come, first served," revealing a great lack of confidence.

Gu Fei looked at him, then at the vast expanse of Mang Mang, and didn't know what to say.

Mang Mang, on the other hand, as a beautiful female player, had probably seen this kind of thing many times. Unfazed, she stood up and said to Gu Fei, "The stall is yours."

Immediately, Gu Fei received a system notification.

Yingzuka Tsukizi's eyes widened as he looked at the two of them. "You know each other?"

Gu Fei nodded and exchanged places with Mang Mang. He stood behind the stall, while Mang Mang returned to the center of the street.

"This is too much. Do you want to conquer all the beauties in the world?" Yingzuka Tsukizi said angrily.

Gu Fei lowered his head, feeling that if he answered this person, he would seem very sleazy himself.

"I'm leaving!" In Mang Mang's eyes, Yingzuka Tsukizi was simply air. She greeted Gu Fei and prepared to leave. Yingzuka Tsukizi quickly abandoned Gu Fei and chased after her, continuing to pester her. "Beautiful, what's your name? My name is Yingzuka Tsukizi. You can call me Zizi."

Gu Fei's face turned green. He explained to the players at the stalls on either side, "I don't know him."

"Yeah, yeah!" The people on both sides vaguely answered Gu Fei, as they were busy vomiting!

Over there, Mang Mang couldn't help but explode. Originally, it was a pleasant thing for a girl to be popular with male players, but being relentlessly harassed by such a sleazy guy was a different story. Mang Mang roared at Yingzuka Tsukizi, "You're too noisy! Don't follow me!"

Yingzuka Tsukizi's eyes, however, revealed determination. You had to know, there weren't that many beautiful women in this world, and even fewer in the game without makeup, all in their original state. Yingzuka Tsukizi had finally found one, and he would never give up without a fight.

"Where are you going, beautiful? I'll keep you company!"

"Aren't you from Moonlit Night City? You must be unfamiliar with this place. Let me show you around!"

"Outside Cloudrise City, there's Cloudshore Lake, with extremely beautiful scenery. Would you like to take a look?" Yingzuka Tsukizi's smile was extremely lewd. All the players in Cloudrise City knew what Cloudshore Lake was mainly used for.

"Go away, go away!" Mang Mang took out her priest's staff to drive away Yingzuka Tsukizi.

Being able to force a priest to swing their staff was quite a feat. Yingzuka Tsukizi continued to smile as he dodged and asked, "Where are we going? Cloudshore Lake?"

Mang Mang was furious! She was a person who never blinked when killing, and at this moment, she wished she could tear Yingzuka Tsukizi into pieces. But the problem was that she was just a priest. Not only was she lower level, but even at the same level, she didn't have the ability to kill anyone!

"Just kill me!" Mang Mang shouted as she swung her staff and beat Yingzuka Tsukizi.

"How could I do that? I want to protect you. Look at you, a priest alone in Cloudrise City. It's quite dangerous. There are many bad people here, especially perverted guys, a lot of them!" Yingzuka Tsukizi had no intention of fighting at all.

Too shameless! The crowd was speechless!

Mang Mang turned and tried to run, but Yingzuka Tsukizi's speed was unmatched even by Gu Fei. He easily walked alongside Mang Mang. "Do you want me to hold your hand? You can run faster."

Mang Mang chose to ignore him, staring straight ahead, focused only on walking.

Yingzuka Tsukizi didn't mind at all, just following along.

"Brother, you're too ruthless!" Someone exclaimed to Yingzuka Tsukizi.

Yingzuka Tsukizi smiled slightly, stopped for two steps, and said to everyone, "Never give up, never surrender!" After saying that, he quickly caught up, leaving behind a street full of speechless people.

As someone who knew both of them, Gu Fei was even more stunned. Mang Mang was also a fierce character, but unfortunately, she was a priest with no combat ability at all. If she had a different class, she would probably be fighting Yingzuka Tsukizi to the death. And Yingzuka Tsukizi would never lay a hand on a girl. Now, with Mang Mang's attitude, he was actually spouting "never give up, never surrender." This person's skin was truly unparalleled.

Mang Mang, you've met your match this time. Gu Fei sighed, wondering if this was good or bad.

But for Gu Fei, it was definitely unfortunate. This uninvited guest, Yingzuka Tsukizi, had ruined his business. Originally, Mang Mang would have bought four or five items from Gu Fei.

That brat! Gu Fei muttered to himself. He casually took out his money bag from his pocket and started counting money. Many people had this kind of wishful thinking, as if the money might increase as they counted.

Of course, wishful thinking couldn't become reality. The 43 gold coins in the money bag remained unchanged.

"Sigh!" Gu Fei sighed and reached into his pocket again, as if trying to scrape out any stray coins.

Unexpectedly, this search immediately stunned him. When his hand came out of his pocket again, it was also holding a money bag, a dark red money bag.

The pocket designers in the game were probably fans of Doraemon. When players took things out of their pockets, they could only rely on feeling around. The only convenience was that the pocket was divided into compartments. As long as you placed things properly when you put them in, you could grab the correct thing by reaching your hand to the right location, avoiding blindly groping.

In the early stages of the game, when players had few items in their pockets, they could take things out with perfect accuracy.

After a while, everyone's pockets became bulging, and errors often occurred when taking things out. Incidents of drawing a piece of bread instead of a sword during a fight happened from time to time, causing great embarrassment.

How to properly organize one's pocket and accurately and quickly draw a weapon in battle became a required course for experts.

Gu Fei had also practiced this skill, so he could take things out with perfect accuracy, without any deviation, directly leading to him not discovering that there was another money bag in his pocket.

Why there was this money bag, Gu Fei couldn't figure out. Before today, Gu Fei never counted money and didn't know his financial situation. In short, he would just take out his money bag and grab some whenever he needed to spend money.

The money bag in the game, like the pocket, was a storage space. As long as there was money left, you could grab something by putting your hand into the money bag. Now, Gu Fei grabbed one handful after another from this money bag, his eyes widening as he counted. He quickly tallied it up: 429 gold coins.

Such a large sum of money quickly reminded Gu Fei of its origin.

Winnings!

He had won it playing dice with Yin Yue and his group while he was in jail.

It was just that the system had somehow put the money into another money bag, causing him to miss it for a while. Randomly putting money away was a good habit that often created a sense of surprise. Gu Fei was very pleased that the system god also had this hobby.

Now that he had money, Gu Fei naturally wouldn't be a merchant anymore. He sold a pile of things to a nearby player for the ultra-low price of 20 gold coins, took the money, and walked away.

Returning to the Mage Academy, he paid the gold coins, and his class change quest was immediately completed. The NPC teacher beamed and told Gu Fei that he could now perform the water or electric system job ceremony at any time.

This was a big deal. The system, having received 200 gold coins, was still responsible. It gave Gu Fei a magic manual, which provided a detailed explanation of the water and electric systems, reminding players to choose carefully.

Gu Fei had already decided to switch to the water system. He didn't care about the difference between the two systems' skills. All he needed was the freezing effect that a water mage could unleash. He casually flipped through the manual and was about to perform the job ceremony when he suddenly heard someone say beside him, "Oh, it's you. Long time no see!"

Gu Fei turned his head and saw Hong Chen Yi Xiao. This person's name hadn't appeared for a long time. Gu Fei had once thought that he had done enough testing and no longer came into the game, and he was quite regretful about losing a living dictionary. Now that they met again, Gu Fei threw an Appraisal spell at him with very professional player etiquette, and he was only level 32. It seemed that he really hadn't been playing much, and his equipment was also very plain. If Gu Fei hadn't gotten rid of that pile of garbage, he could have supported him with some of it.

"Long time no see!" Gu Fei responded.

"I've been too busy lately. I haven't had time for the game," Hong Chen Yi Xiao sighed.

"Any inside information?" Gu Fei casually asked.

"I am a..."

"Alright, I know!" Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Gu Fei hadn't forgotten his catchphrase.

At this moment, Hong Chen Yi Xiao caught sight of the magic manual in Gu Fei's hand and smiled, "Oh, you're changing classes!"

Gu Fei nodded.

"Which system are you changing to?" Hong Chen Yi Xiao asked.

"Water system," Gu Fei said.

Hong Chen Yi Xiao frowned. According to the data they observed from the backend, 80% of the mages who had already changed classes had chosen the water system. This didn't affect the game company's revenue, but it was quite uncomfortable for the game developers. After all, the electric system was also a meticulously designed and crafted system, and now that it was so unpopular, it was as if a large part of their work had been denied.

Hong Chen Yi Xiao believed that there was absolutely no favoritism in the design of these two systems. The water system's freezing effect could slow down movement, but the electric system's paralysis effect could prevent people from casting spells, which was also very practical. In addition, the electric system had a series of characteristics such as fast skill activation, high speed, and high attack...

At this moment, Hong Chen Yi Xiao was speaking out for the electric system, his mind filled with all the advantages of the electric system. Faced with the guy in front of him who was also about to join the water system army, he couldn't help but say, "Why change to the water system? The electric system is just as strong!"
