Hu Die Lan
Chapter 211 Trading Up for Something Better
Gu Fei walked through several streets and looked back. Not seeing any students, he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up and saw that Xiaolei Tavern wasn't far away, so he walked towards it.
Inside Xiaolei Tavern, the guys from the Young Master Elite group were gathered at this unusual time, showing off the equipment they had bought after making a fortune yesterday.
To become a peerless master in online games, both skill and equipment are indispensable. Having only skill or only equipment can only make you a quasi-master who can beat up ordinary players. The goal of the people sitting here is to become one in ten thousand. Although it is a new game mode, with their good game sense and foundation, their skill levels are rising rapidly. As for equipment, that is the more troublesome aspect.
Relying on luck to brush for good equipment is hard, tiring, and illusory. Although a considerable number of people claim that this illusory nature is precisely what attracts people to online games, those who say this are either people who have already become illusory to the point of having equipment and don't feel the pain of standing and talking, or people who have neither become illusory nor have the financial resources to buy it, and say sour grapes when they see others spending gold coins to directly buy equipment.
Using money to buy equipment is the most effective way to get good equipment. True online game masters understand this. There were several masters in the market who had been eyeing equipment for a long time, but unfortunately their wallets were shy, and all they could do every day was to take a look to see if the equipment was still there. Finally, yesterday's income of several thousand gold coins made their wallets bulge, and they looked down on some of the equipment they had chosen before. They swaggered through the market all night, truly with their eyes above their heads.
"Look at my armor!" Zhan Wushang dragged his burly body and propped up a set of shiny black armor, and even turned around in front of everyone very contentedly.
The armor itself was fine, but the problem was that Zhan Wushang himself was not a suitable clothes rack. He was tall and strong, and the equipment in the game would become very fitting when worn on his body. As a result, any armor worn on Zhan Wushang's body was full of oppression, and there was no beauty to speak of.
"Excellent defense, additional attribute of defense enhancement, Strength +15, Constitution +15, Rage accumulation increased by 20%. How about it, not bad, right?" Zhan Wushang introduced his armor attributes while turning around twice.
The others resisted the urge to vomit. Yu Tian Shen Ming was the first to retort, "Get out of the way! Look at my bow, this ring!"
Yu Tian Shen Ming's original bow was actually a higher-level equipment, but the problem was that the bow was a blank, and now it has no advantage at all. After searching all night, he finally found this good bow.
Sniper's Howl, high attack, additional attribute range +10, Agility +20, critical chance +15%, critical damage +15%, Sniper enhancement.
Yu Tian Shen Ming's bow was a purple-lettered equipment, while Zhan Wushang's armor was only gold-lettered, and was immediately inferior in rank. Just as he was about to continue introducing his ring, Zhan Wushang slammed his sword on the table, "Look at my sword, it's also purple-lettered!"
"I'm looking at this ring!"
"Look at my sword!"
The big and small guys started making noise again, and Han Jia Gongzi also picked up something and slammed it on the table, "Look at this!"
Everyone looked up and saw the most expensive wine in Parallel World, 20 gold coins a glass. Han Jia Gongzi had a whole bottle, worth 120 gold coins.
Although the price was incomparable to equipment, the meaning was different. Equipment is a necessity, and anyone is willing to invest as long as they have enough money. But wine is a luxury. Even the richest people in the game generally drink the lowest quality, at most a little better, and there is absolutely no one who often buys 120 gold coins worth of wine. From a consumption point of view, Han Jia Gongzi undoubtedly surpassed the two of them, and mocked them, "You are not qualified enough!"
"Tch! Spendthrift young master!" The two were of course unconvinced, and retorted together.
"Yo bro, what did you buy?" Han Jia Gongzi turned his head and asked Yo bro next to him.
"I took a look, but haven't decided yet!" Yo bro said with a smile.
"Oh..." Yu Tian Shen Ming responded, "Okay, then let's continue to look at my ring, my ring..."
"Put things away, Qianli is here." Han Jia Gongzi suddenly interrupted Yu Tian Shen Ming.
Yu Tian Shen Ming and Zhan Wushang quickly picked up the equipment on the table and sat upright. The curtain was rolled up, and Gu Fei had already walked in.
The others squeezed out smiles to greet him. Although yesterday's matter was over, they hadn't seen Gu Fei since then, and didn't know his reaction to it. Before figuring out his mood, it was best not to talk about the gains of this business in front of him. Therefore, when he saw these guys start showing off, Han Jia Gongzi immediately asked Xiaolei to send a message to remind him when he saw Gu Fei coming in.
Looking up, he saw that today's Gu Fei was unusual. A rare look of panic appeared on his face. This guy, who never blinked an eye when he killed people, what could scare him?
"A glass of wine." Gu Fei had already gotten a wine glass outside. When he entered the door, he put the glass on the table and gestured to Han Jia Gongzi.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Han Jia Gongzi poured wine while admiring Gu Fei's expression. "Is there anything unhappy? Tell us and we'll be happy!"
"..." Everyone was silent. This conversation skill was too superb. It was not without reason that so many people had the urge to slap Han Jia Gongzi to death.
Gu Fei didn't care much, took a sip of wine and said, "Nothing, I met someone from real life."
"Is it a beautiful woman?" Zhan Wushang and Yu Tian Shen Ming stood up suddenly. The highest level of picking up girls in online games is to go from online games to real life, from virtual to real, from the grass in Yun Jiao Lakeside to the private room of xx Hotel, from... (Uh, vulgar, too vulgar, resolutely resist vulgarity, stop yy)
Gu Fei glanced at the two of them, and they sat down in a huff and muttered, "Can't even ask casually!"
"Parallel World is so big, if you don't deliberately look for it, it's really not easy to meet acquaintances from real life." Yo bro said.
"Just meeting someone from real life, is there any need to be so nervous?" Yu Tian Shen Ming said.
"Uh, is she asking you for money, and also asking you to level up, take her to do quests, take her this and that! That's quite annoying." Zhan Wushang said with deep feeling.
"Sigh..." Gu Fei sighed deeply, really not knowing how to say it, and the guys from the Young Master Elite group couldn't help with this problem either. He just hoped not to see the students again, to avoid this kind of embarrassment.
"Who is tonight's competition opponent?" Gu Fei changed the subject.
"Yun Xiang Mercenary Group, a level 4 group. Except for the group leader Yun Xiang and a few of his friends, most of the other members in the group are remaining players from various guilds who were not selected into their own guild's mercenary groups. Although their levels are not low, their unity is a problem. The group leader Yun Xiang doesn't have much prestige either. All the way here, they have been fighting on their own, relying on their numbers to get to today." Yo bro introduced.
Usually after introducing the information, it was Han Jia Gongzi's turn to arrange today's tactics, but today's Han Jia Gongzi was drinking on his own, without saying a word.
Yo bro nudged him, "Hey, it's your turn."
"Jian Gui hasn't come yet, I don't want to say it twice." Han Jia Gongzi said.
"Uh, it's a little early!" Yo bro glanced at the time.
The others obviously rarely squatted here to chat at this time. Realizing this, the atmosphere suddenly became unnatural.
"Why don't we go level up together first." Gu Fei took the initiative to suggest leveling up, for the first time ever.
"Get out! We don't want to level up with you!" Yu Tian Shen Ming and Zhan Wushang said almost in unison. The efficiency of leveling up with Gu Fei was foreseeable, but the problem was that everyone needed entertainment, and couldn't just watch his magic performance. More importantly, watching Gu Fei fight hurt their self-esteem, and they had already been hurt enough, and didn't want to rub salt in the wound.
The others chatted idly like this, and finally managed to wait for Jian Gui to appear. Jian Gui was really surprised to see that everyone was here when he entered the door. He was obviously the most serious one of the six, punctual and disciplined, but he didn't expect that everyone would come earlier than him today. Looking at this strange scene that seemed like the sun was rising from the west, Jian Gui sat down on the side nervously.
"Is there something big happening today!" Jian Gui was a little muttered in his heart.
"Ahem!" Han Jia Gongzi cleared his throat and began to speak, "Today's opponent, as Yo bro said, is a mercenary group that only has a lot of people, but is very disunited, and the group leader doesn't have as much prestige as I do. However, precisely because they are disunited and the group leader can't control them, it may be a problem for us. Even if their group leader is afraid of our big kite tactics, their members may not obey the group leader's arrangement and not participate in this round of the competition. This leads to the fact that our opponent this time is likely to be their full strength, 80 people!"
"However!" Han Jia Gongzi changed the subject, "Precisely because they are disunited, they will probably fight on their own in this competition, without anyone coordinating and commanding. Therefore, this competition is the moment to show everyone's true skills, and be sure to defeat them one by one."
"According to what you said, wouldn't all the things you calculated and arranged before be a waste of time?" Gu Fei asked.
"Alas!" Han Jia Gongzi sighed, "Man proposes, God disposes. How would I know that we would be assigned such an opponent by such a coincidence? Is it that even God is jealous of my talent, and deliberately created this kind of arrangement to tease me?"
"..."
=======================
This chapter is a transition. In the next chapter, the competition will be full of smoke again. The student cubs are also a dark undercurrent, tomorrow, clenched fists!
