Chapter 55 Looting the Spoils

Gu Fei rushed up to collect the loot, but the players, feeling resentful, deliberately ignored him. Gu Fei shouted, "Excuse me, excuse me," but everyone just turned their backs on him, pretending to look around inside the circle.

Don't think that Sottu's subordinates were just a bunch of level 30 lackeys. Sottu himself was not a level 30 Boss. Otherwise, when players were all at level 30, why would the quest for the Great Thief Sottu have been so difficult?

Therefore, the equipment dropped by Sottu could never be outdated. What's more, at this moment, a money bag and two pieces of equipment fell from Sottu's pocket onto the ground, glittering with gold. A group of players saw it, but couldn't pick it up due to the system protection rules. The most painful thing in online games was this, and the greatest distance in online games was this.

"You two, persuade them!" Gu Fei said helplessly to Wu Shi Zhi Jian and Dao Ying Nian Hua, who were standing nearby. These two could be considered leaders in charge.

The two of them had serious expressions on their faces, but they were secretly gloating in their hearts. But since Gu Fei had spoken, they couldn't just ignore him. Dao Ying Nian Hua said very awkwardly, "This kind of thing is really hard to persuade... You see..."

Dao Ying Nian Hua was actually trying to stall for time. The system protection also had a time limit. If someone picked it up after this time, wanting them to return it? The most unrealistic dream in online games was this.

But Gu Fei was a decisive person. Hearing Dao Ying Nian Hua's hesitation, he shook his head and sighed, "Then there's nothing I can do."

The two of them were feeling smug when Dao Ying Nian Hua suddenly had a thought: Was this guy going on a killing spree? Although everyone looked like comrades now, the grudges they had formed were only temporarily suppressed. He himself gnashed his teeth at Gu Fei. In his mind, Gu Fei was a despicable and violent person who killed without blinking an eye. It wouldn't be surprising if he took action and wiped everyone out.

"Hey!" Dao Ying Nian Hua was just about to speak when he saw Gu Fei suddenly jump up from the spot and point his hand at the crowd: "Instantaneous Movement, activate!"

Gu Fei disappeared.

In the center of the crowd, a bunch of players were squeezing around. They heard that the main person was blocked on the outer edge and couldn't get in, so everyone was very excited, drooling as they looked at Sottu's corpse. Drooling while looking at a corpse, this kind of perverted thing often happened in online games.

Just when they were counting down the time and preparing to fight with others around them for the items, their eyes suddenly blurred, and someone stepped directly onto Sottu's body.

Everyone was shocked. Gu Fei, however, smiled at everyone as if no one else was there.

"Let's see what we have here." Gu Fei said with a smile, while under everyone's painful gazes, he first put the money bag and two pieces of equipment on the ground into his bag, and then began to search Sottu's corpse.

In the game, items sometimes dropped directly from the defeated NPCs, and sometimes they were still on the NPCs, for players to find and discover themselves. Occasionally, there were Bosses who were killed, and their endings were very tragic. Players couldn't wait to chop them into pieces to find items, but the system didn't allow such bloodshed, so players could only carefully search the Boss's entire body, front, side, and back. In this way, every time after defeating a Boss, it looked like a gang rape scene.

Gu Fei didn't go to such extremes. He simply flipped through Sottu's pockets and got up when he saw there was nothing there. He didn't plan to search in such detail in front of so many people. He had already eaten the meat, and if he still acted like he wouldn't even give them a drop of soup, Gu Fei felt that he would definitely be drowned in the ocean of people's war.

"Excuse me, let me out!" Gu Fei's smile remained unchanged.

This time, the players were no longer in the mood to block him. They listlessly stepped aside, and Gu Fei calmly squeezed out. Halfway through, Sottu's system protection time had passed, and he was instantly subjected to inhuman treatment. When the crowd dispersed, the once-powerful Great Thief Sottu was lying forlornly on the ground, wearing only the underwear required by the system. Face towards the yellow earth, back towards the sky, he waited for the system's white light to receive him.

"What did he drop?" After Gu Fei returned to his team, a group of acquaintances surrounded him and asked.

Gu Fei first threw the money bag to Yu Tian Shen Ming: "Count it."

Then he took out the other two items.

Great Thief Ring, purple equipment, Strength +12, Agility +12. Looking at the name and attributes, this thing should definitely not be mage equipment. Yu Tian Shen Ming, Xi Yao Wu, Jian Gui, and even Zhan Wu Shang were all drooling over it, but Gu Fei excitedly put it on his finger. He held out the Burning Ring with a 7% chance of fire attack that he had taken off in front of everyone: "Does anyone want it?"

No one said anything, so Gu Fei took out another identical one from his pocket and held them out together: "A pair!"

"Scram!" Everyone cursed.

The other item was not equipment, but a skill scroll.

Dropped by the Great Thief Sottu, it was naturally a thief-type skill. Gu Fei showed it to everyone with regret.

Eternal Skill Scroll: Stealthy Movement.

Forcibly maintain stealth state, consumes 7% of maximum mana per second, skill cooldown 2 minutes 30 seconds, Class: Thief.

"This..." Everyone was stunned.

"Is there a Thief?" Gu Fei was already yelling to sell it.

"Give it to me!" Xi Yao Wu almost pounced on Gu Fei.

Gu Fei dodged to the side, and while handing it to her, he said, "Then the debt you owe me is written off!"

"Cough! Cough!" You Ge coughed loudly, but Xi Yao Wu had already taken the scroll from Gu Fei's hand and glared at him: "What are you making a fuss about? I know this is worth more than the Instantaneous Movement I gave him."

You Ge was very ashamed. He was coughing to hint, while quickly writing a message to Gu Fei, but Xi Yao Wu seemed very honest and had no intention of taking advantage of this opportunity.

After taking the scroll, Xi Yao Wu used it immediately. Then she reached into her pocket, took out two money bags, counted them, and threw them to Gu Fei: "This is 1,500 gold coins, plus the 1,500 gold coins you still owe me. 3,000 to buy this scroll from you, isn't that a good deal?"

Xi Yao Wu was talking to Gu Fei, but her eyes were looking sideways at You Ge. You Ge was greatly embarrassed and lowered his head again in shame.

"That's about right." Gu Fei said with a smile and put away the money bag.

"About right? I'm giving you a high price!" Xi Yao Wu roared and wanted to pounce on him.

"High price, high price!" Gu Fei quickly echoed her, not wanting to argue with her unnecessarily. He had no idea how much this thing was worth. But he could tell that this scroll had a very high value. Currently, the Thief skill Stealth could be said to be the weakest skill, and any slight touch would interrupt it. But this skill was equivalent to raising the judgment of Stealth to an invincible state. Whether attacked or attacking, it would not interrupt Stealth. It was a nightmare-level skill.

Over here, Yu Tian Shen Ming and Zhan Wu Shang were so jealous that they were about to die when they saw Gu Fei put the money bag into his pocket. They said sourly, "You even want a beauty's money! You scumbag!"

"Yeah, you beast!" The two sang in harmony.

"Should we share some with everyone?" Gu Fei asked.

The two were immediately overjoyed: "Okay, okay!"

"Scram, scumbag, beast." Gu Fei said.

The trip to Black Dragon Mountain Range was now over. Gu Fei could be said to have made great contributions along the way, from building the rope bridge to the final charge. Although it was Piao Liu who finally opened the passage, imagine if Gu Fei hadn't single-handedly held off Sottu over there, and Sottu had stood in front of Piao Liu, Piao Liu would definitely have been finished.

The players all understood this key point, but Gu Fei had swept up all the items that Sottu had dropped by himself, which made everyone very resentful. In the end, there was no gratitude at all, only curses for this person to die a horrible death.

After leaving the mountain road and walking for a while on the vast wilderness, the outline of Moon Night City was faintly visible in front of them. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The first stage of this mission had finally been successfully completed. As for what benefits they had gained in the process... everyone resented Gu Fei again.

Moon Night City! Gu Fei was filled with emotion, and Liu Yue De Yu was even more excited than Gu Fei. To be honest, Liu Yue De Yu had spent more time in Moon Night City than in Cloud Piercer City. She was familiar with every aspect of this place.

Seeing that there were already players in front of them, Liu Yue De Yu took out a piece of cloth from her pocket and quickly covered her face.

"Xiao Yu, what are you doing?" A girl asked curiously.

"Everyone here is like this," Liu Yue De Yu said affirmatively.

The others were very puzzled and asked her why, but Liu Yue De Yu couldn't explain the reason, she just said that everyone here would do this.

Gu Fei remembered that when he was here last time, someone had robbed him while wearing a mask, but "everyone is like this" was far from the truth.

Everyone continued to walk forward in confusion. In the blink of an eye, they had entered the leveling area in front of them. Looking up, it was indeed as Liu Yue De Yu had said, everyone was wearing a cloth over their faces.

"What's going on?" Everyone just felt it was funny. These masked people, seeing such a large group suddenly appearing in front of them, also stopped what they were doing. Some people had already slowly retreated and were nervously whispering together.

"What's going on? Why are there so many people?"

"Damn, does that trash have such a background? Crap, we're in trouble now."

"With such a big show, could that kid be from the Ten Guild Alliance?"

"I didn't see any badges on that kid!"

"Damn, could he be one of those swines who pretends to be weak to prey on the strong? We're screwed this time."

"But these people don't seem to have the Ten Guild Alliance's badges either!"

"Damn it, besides the Ten Guild Alliance, who else can make such a big splash? Let's get out of here!"

In just a moment, many people had left the leveling area, leaving a desolate scene in front of everyone. It was completely different from the fiery scene in every leveling area of Cloud Piercer City, where every inch of land was contested.

Everyone was a little at a loss. In the end, the three leaders of Zong Heng Si Hai came out to speak: "Everyone, it's getting late today. Let's hurry up and enter the city! Everyone in the mercenary group, please make a record in Moon Night City. We'll take some time tomorrow to check the reward for this journey!"

"Leader Wu Shi." Suddenly, a member of the mercenary group came out to speak, "Speaking of which, your mission seems to be to escort something, right? How come after walking this way, I suddenly realized that there doesn't seem to be anything being escorted in our group?"
