Chapter 122 Coincidence

Lie Lie's appearance was truly "timely"! Gu Fei hadn't anticipated such a gossip-loving spirit. Had he known that asking for help in the Rebirth Amethyst would lead to such consequences, he would have been more cautious.

At this moment, only Lie Lie had arrived, but there was no guarantee there wouldn't be a second or third. The thought of the Rebirth Amethyst guild channel filled with scrolling chat logs chilled Gu Fei to the bone.

Looking back, he saw Lie Lie's eager expression, a look that seemed exclusive to Yueye City players. He didn't expect to find such PK enthusiasts in Cloudrise City as well.

*I absolutely can't let her get involved.* Seeing Lie Lie charging up, that was Gu Fei's only thought. He immediately said, in a forceful tone, "Don't come up, I want to duel him!"

"Really?" Hearing this, Lie Lie stopped. It seemed she was quite a chivalrous PK enthusiast. Upon hearing the request for a duel, she immediately transformed from an eager participant into a spectator, calmly standing next to Bing Liuli.

"How long has it been going on?" Lie Lie asked Bing Liuli.

"Five minutes, maybe!" Bing Liuli said. Gu Fei had been toying with Can Mengsi for a full five minutes.

"Five minutes and he hasn't finished him off yet?" Lie Lie was stunned. Online game PK wasn't like a martial arts novel duel between experts, where hundreds of moves could be exchanged without a victor. Usually, the outcome was decided in a few swift strikes. A fight lasting five minutes was extremely rare.

Looking again, she saw Gu Fei, a mage, actually fighting with a sword in close combat. She was puzzled, but also somewhat relieved. Using one's weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths, it was normal that it would take five minutes. It was already impressive that he hadn't been killed, and furthermore, it seemed that Gu Fei had the upper hand.

"Why is he fighting in close combat?" Lie Lie asked Bing Liuli. Being late, she thought there might be some twist to the story.

"Uh, maybe that top-quality sword he has is something special?" Bing Liuli had been thinking this all along. The Dark Night Flowing Light Sword was striking and outstanding wherever it was.

*Could he be a close-combat mage?* The thought flashed through Lie Lie's mind, but she quickly shook her head. A dignified close-combat mage, the PK King 27149, unable to deal with such a small thief in five minutes? What was she thinking? Randomly seeing a mage in close combat and fantasizing about her idol was blasphemy. Since the close-combat mage became famous on the forums, some mages in the game had started to imitate him. Close combat alone couldn't prove anything.

Lie Lie rejected her correct guess and continued to watch.

Undeniably, Gu Fei's technique was too exquisite, and with the addition of some appropriate expressions, he had not only deceived the involved party, Can Mengsi, but also misled the two observant girls.

Lie Lie had always considered herself to have some martial arts foundation, but the real kung fu master was performing right in front of her, and she couldn't see it at all. She was just babbling on the sidelines, "Hey, how did it get off again?"; "Oops, it was blocked, can you attack a little faster?"

After another two minutes, Lie Lie started to heckle, "Are you going to do it or not? If not, come down, let this sister go!"

"Lie Lie, don't be noisy," Bing Liuli advised.

"He can't do it!" Lie Lie said.

Bing Liuli remained silent. She had been watching for a long time, and although she couldn't see any deliberate actions from Gu Fei's moves, no matter what, the previous two mages, two archers, and a priest had all been dealt with by Gu Fei. Even with her Heavenly Fire Wheel as a starting point, it was still not easy to eliminate five people in such a short time.

Moreover, she vividly remembered the three kicks Gu Fei had landed on Meng Cansi. How could someone who could kick the opponent three times suddenly be unable to stab the opponent even once? Bing Liuli, as a meticulous female player, noticed every detail that could be noticed.

One girl was guessing Gu Fei's intentions, while the other was loudly shouting to disrupt Gu Fei's thoughts. Fortunately, neither of them ruined Gu Fei's plan. However, weren't Han Jia Gongzi and the others a little too slow?

Gu Fei was also a little anxious. Then he saw a flash of figures at the street corner. The opponent's two archers had actually returned first! The Cloudrise City archer training ground was closer to the North Gate, and archers were relatively fast...

"Don't mind me! You go deal with those two girls, they're with him!" Can Mengsi shouted. Gu Fei claimed he wanted to duel him and wouldn't let those two girls interfere, which made Can Mengsi overjoyed.

The two archers had been in a daze since they arrived. In their eyes, Gu Fei was a ruthless character, and they never expected that Can Mengsi hadn't been killed after so long. They had been sending messages to Can Mengsi, but he hadn't replied, so they decided to move towards him to do their best. Who knew that along the way, they still hadn't received a reply from Can Mengsi showing up at the Thieves' Guild. When they arrived, Can Mengsi was still fighting him!

The two were immediately impressed by Can Mengsi and said in unison, "Not bad, you!"

"Easy!" Can Mengsi said smugly. Gu Fei's seven-minute, seamless performance had increased his confidence sevenfold.

Seeing that the opponent had reinforcements and Can Mengsi was still so arrogant, Gu Fei felt annoyed. He didn't deliver the sword strike he should have, but instead leapt up and delivered a standard, flowery, and flashy spinning kick, sweeping Can Mengsi across the face.

There was already a footprint on Can Mengsi's forehead and right cheek. Gu Fei had no choice but to leave a footprint on his left cheek this time.

After kicking him, he saw that the footprint on his left cheek seemed to be half a centimeter lower than the one on his right cheek. Gu Fei sighed. It seemed that the skill of his left and right legs was not completely consistent, and there was still a half-centimeter difference.

Seeing Can Mengsi get kicked, the two archers were also stunned. They turned their bows and aimed at Gu Fei: "Are you going to do it or not?" The two asked Can Mengsi again.

Can Mengsi shook his head. Was everything just now a dream? Why couldn't the opponent's swordsmanship hit him, but he couldn't even dodge such a difficult move? What was going on? Can Mengsi was at a loss. Was it because this move didn't do much damage, so the system determined that he didn't need to dodge? Can Mengsi considered it from a game perspective and gradually deviated from the norm.

Gu Fei was worried that he couldn't free up his hands to deal with the two archers, but Lie Lie had already rushed up excitedly: "Leave these two to me!" she shouted.

The two archers didn't care about Can Mengsi. They turned the arrows they had prepared and shot at Lie Lie.

Fortunately, the two had just lost a level and didn't have the archer's strongest skill, Snipe. The move the two were preparing to use was the archer's level 24 skill, "Double Shot."

This skill was not weak, but it had a flaw: it was slow to activate. However, this was not due to the system's design, but to human influence. Putting two arrows properly on the bowstring was, of course, much more troublesome than putting one arrow on it. Without long-term practice, it was difficult to be as quick as putting one arrow on the string.

If the arrows were not properly placed, the accuracy of the arrows would be very problematic! This was the operation required of archers in legends.

Moreover, in general, archers hid in the dark to shoot hidden arrows, and they could put arrows on the string very calmly, so few people would spend time strengthening their practice in this area. As a result, most archers would become clumsy when they encountered this kind of emergency shooting situation.

These two guys were clearly among them, and the two arrows were shivering and could not be properly placed. The one on the left was smart. Seeing that he was about to be approached, he knew that it was important to save his life. He decisively gave up one arrow and used the beginner skill "Power Shot" with one arrow.

The one on the right was inspired and didn't bother with "Double Shot" anymore. He quickly switched hands and also used "Power Shot." The two, one after the other, jointly launched a "Double Shot" in the form of a two-person act.

Lie Lie's reaction was also swift. She quickly swayed her body, and the arrow aimed at her head was dodged, but the second arrow hit her accurately.

However, a mere "Power Shot" couldn't kill anyone. Lie Lie had already rushed to the two. The closer they got, the more the archer's hand would tremble when putting the arrow on the string. Lie Lie shouted loudly, and the arrow in one person's hand was directly knocked to the ground. This person turned and ran without feeling any shame. From a tactical point of view, this was to use speed to distance himself from the enemy and maneuver while running and shooting. There was a technical term called "kiting," which was a skill that archers had to master.

However, Lie Lie's combat experience was also rich. Seeing that this person was about to run, she immediately activated the level 24 fighter skill "Meteor Gallop," and her speed suddenly increased. She punched this person in the waist, and very luckily triggered a dizzy effect.

Then, calmly, she used a heavy punch, an uppercut, and a spring kick. The opponent floated into the air. Lie Lie's hands were fast enough. She stretched out her arms and grabbed the opponent's legs, throwing him back to the ground. A flash of white light, and he was dead.

*Her attacks are faster than Coward Savior's!* Gu Fei was still entangled with Can Mengsi, but he was also paying attention to the battle over there. Seeing Lie Lie's attack, he quickly made an evaluation. The final throw had damage, so it could be considered a body slam. Given Coward Savior's attack speed, it was impossible to connect a body slam after a spring kick. It seemed that these two fighters had different skill point distributions.

The other archer was not idle at this time. He took this opportunity to accurately use Double Shot. But the other girl, Bing Liuli, was no longer a spectator. She had already arrived within the range of her spells, and a level 30 Linked Ball Fireball had been summoned and was rushing towards the archer with great momentum.

*This girl casts spells so gently,* Gu Fei thought, after evaluating Lie Lie, he evaluated Bing Liuli.

The mage's spell speed was much slower than the archer's arrows, and it was not that difficult to dodge. The archer dodged to the side, avoiding the Linked Ball Fireball, but only taking a little area damage.

"Leave him to me!" Lie Lie shouted, stopping Bing Liuli from continuing to cast spells.

The fighter was also a typical melee class, and had an overwhelming advantage against the archer in close combat. Lie Lie gave the archer another round of punches and solved him without much controversy.

"Winner! Lie Lie!!!" Lie Lie raised her arms and cheered.

Bing Liuli smiled with pursed lips, but didn't say anything, seemingly used to it.

After fighting two archers in a row, Lie Lie consumed a lot of mana. Of course, for fighters, mana was renamed inner force, but the nature was still the same, which was the energy consumed when releasing skills. Lie Lie sat on the ground, eating an apple to recover, while pointing at Gu Fei and shouting, "You're too useless, are you going to do it or not? If not, let me do it!"

Gu Fei turned his head and gave Lie Lie an admiring expression: "Let me try again, if I can't, I'll switch with you."

Lie Lie nodded in satisfaction, pointing at Gu Fei: "Judging from your looks, you seem to have practiced a bit, right? That spinning kick just now was not bad!"

"You flatter me," Gu Fei said modestly.

But Lie Lie immediately said seriously: "But let me tell you, although this kind of kick is good-looking, you must never use it in actual combat. There are too many flaws!"

Gu Fei was speechless, but he couldn't refute it. The kick he had just made was indeed the kind that was flashy and had many flaws.

Bing Liuli patted Lie Lie and said, "Recover quickly, there may be two mages coming over later." The Mage Academy was a bit far from the North Gate, and mages generally didn't run very fast, so it would take some time to get here, but they would always arrive.

"Really?" Lie Lie immediately became excited again, speeding up her eating of the apple, and took out a piece of bread: "Almost done, almost done!" Fruits restored mana (inner force), and other foods restored health.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished eating, a head poked out from a certain street corner. Lie Lie was looking around in boredom, and happened to see that sneaky head, which was obviously up to no good.

"Here he comes!" Lie Lie got up in surprise and charged towards the street corner. Seeing this, the head immediately retracted.

"Lie Lie, don't be impulsive!" Bing Liuli shouted anxiously and hurried to catch up. Lie Lie stopped for a moment, waiting for Bing Liuli to come over. The two ran to the street corner together. Turning their heads, they didn't find the head they had seen earlier.

"He ran away!" Lie Lie said regretfully.

But what they didn't know was that the person had circled behind them, drawing his bow and aiming at the two of them. It was another archer.

Lie Lie and Bing Liuli were still unaware, but Gu Fei saw something unusual in Can Mengsi's eyes, who was facing that direction. He quickly turned his head and shouted, "Don't shoot, it's one of us!"

"Ah!" Accompanied by the shout, the arrow had already been released.

The sneaky head belonged to Yu Tian Shen Ming. Obviously, he was much more skilled than the previous two archers. He knew the advantages of the archer and how he should fight, and resolutely did not completely expose himself to the enemy. Seeing that he had been discovered, his first reaction was not to panic and nock an arrow to snipe, but to calmly make a strategic transfer.

The street corner where he had shown his head was also specially chosen by him, as the street was short. The archer moved quickly, and he quickly disappeared from the street, turning a corner and circling behind Lie Lie and Bing Liuli from another street.

The sound of the arrow whistling. Such a loud noise clearly meant that it was currently the archer's strongest skill, Snipe.

The snipe from Yu Tian Shen Ming had even left Xiao Yu with only one breath left. Lie Lie and Bing Liuli... Gu Fei closed his eyes, thinking about how to explain this misunderstanding to the girls.

"Ah!" Hearing Gu Fei's shout, the girls had already turned around, just in time to see the swift arrow coming towards them. The momentum seemed to pierce them through, and the two only let out a cry of surprise as the arrow reached them. The speed of the snipe was really too fast for ordinary players to dodge.

Who would have thought that this snipe didn't hit anyone, but instead shot between Lie Lie and Bing Liuli's heads. The wind caused the green silk on their heads to dance, and their faces were pale.

"That was close!" Yu Tian Shen Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing him mutter, Gu Fei opened his eyes and saw that neither of the girls had died. He was overjoyed: "You missed?"

"On purpose," Yu Tian Shen Ming said, not knowing if it was true or false.

"Good miss!" Gu Fei praised.

"You're the one who missed, I turned to that position on purpose. They didn't die because I shot accurately," Yu Tian Shen Ming shouted.

"..."

Yu Tian Shen Ming was now muttering to himself: "Another two girls, is Qian Li really that capable? It seems that I have to try the pick-up method he taught me one day."

"Why are you here?" Gu Fei suddenly remembered. Shouldn't these people be lying in ambush at the Thieves' Guild? What were they doing running to the North Gate?

"Passing by!" Yu Tian Shen Ming was now behind Can Mengsi, squeezing his eyes and signaling while talking to Gu Fei.

"What other conspiracy is there?" Gu Fei muttered in his heart, guessing that they must have had a discussion in the mercenary channel, but Gu Fei really didn't have time to look at it now.

"Hi, beauties," Yu Tian Shen Ming ignored Gu Fei and went to greet the two girls.

Lie Lie and Bing Liuli nodded to him.

Lie Lie, who had easily solved the two archers earlier, had developed a sense of contempt for the profession. Yu Tian Shen Ming's timely arrival gave her a blow, reminding her of that cliché: there are no useless professions, only useless players.

The three stood together by the road, watching Gu Fei perform.

"Are you his friend?" Lie Lie asked Yu Tian Shen Ming.

Yu Tian Shen Ming nodded.

"He's useless! He doesn't even let us help," Lie Lie complained.

Yu Tian Shen Ming nodded again and said: "Young people need to be given opportunities to train, otherwise they'll never improve. If you let me go, I'd solve it in a few moves, it's meaningless!"

"Damn, what a stinky kid!" Gu Fei heard it clearly and cursed in his heart. Yu Tian Shen Ming was obviously despised by Gu Fei too much because of his age, so he seized the opportunity to retaliate madly.

"What is he practicing?" Bing Liuli asked curiously. She vaguely felt that Gu Fei seemed to be experimenting on Can Mengsi.

"Uh, swordsmanship," Yu Tian Shen Ming also thought that Gu Fei was just randomly stabbing with his sword, so he said casually.

Lie Lie immediately laughed loudly: "Swordsmanship? What kind of swordsmanship is this? It's killing me!"

Gu Fei felt unhappy that his kung fu was being laughed at. But this time, he was helpless. Who asked him to pretend to be so clumsy? Ordinary people couldn't understand this kind of masterfully simple move. If he explained the subtleties of it, it would probably only make things worse. So he could only endure it.

Yu Tian Shen Ming was not willing to let it go. He put on the most grotesque expression of his life and said mysteriously to the two girls: "I'll tell you a secret, Qian Li knows kung fu!"

Lie Lie burst out laughing again, and even Bing Liuli couldn't help but laugh at the side with pursed lips.

Yu Tian Shen Ming said very seriously: "It's true."

"Yes, we believe you," Lie Lie held back her laughter, and said in a serious tone, applauding: "Good swordsmanship, hahahaha..." In the end, she couldn't help it and continued to laugh.

"Hehe..." Yu Tian Shen Ming smiled sinisterly, his conspiracy had succeeded! Now, in the eyes of these two girls, Gu Fei's image must be very ridiculous, right? I told you to be arrogant and despise me as an adult! Yu Tian Shen Ming thought happily.

In the field, Gu Fei was being mocked, and he was naturally not happy in his heart. He wanted to slap Can Mengsi a few more times, but seeing the three footprints on his head, there was really no fresh spot to step on, so he gave up.

Yu Tian Shen Ming came over, but he didn't know what his plans were.

Suddenly, Gu Fei woke up.

These guys knew that he must be pestering Can Mengsi to buy time, and he definitely didn't have time to look at any messages. Even if they were ready at the Thieves' Guild, they couldn't notify him, so they sent Yu Tian Shen Ming, who was the fastest, to be the messenger. This arrangement was so considerate, Gu Fei thought. Han Jia Gongzi didn't grow a woman's face for nothing, he was very meticulous. If Gu Fei were to do this kind of planning, it would be difficult to foresee everything in such detail!

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a muffled thunder-like sound behind him: "Yu Tian, you're really fast."

Wasn't this Zhan Wu Shang's voice? Gu Fei quickly turned his head. Not only Zhan Wu Shang, but You Ge had also arrived, and was approaching here with big steps.

What the hell was going on? Gu Fei was completely confused.

Before he could figure it out, he heard a voice from the other side: "Uh? Everyone's here, I'm the slowest?"

Gu Fei turned his head and saw Han Jia Gongzi's pretty face.

"Great, he's still holding on! Grab him quickly, let me personally solve him!" Han Jia Gongzi said to the others.

Bing Liuli suddenly realized at this time: So Qian Li was really buying time, waiting for this person to come and vent his anger.

Can Mengsi looked at Han Jia Gongzi in a daze: Who is this? When did I offend this person? he thought.

Gu Fei naturally knew that this was not the case, and was confused. Han Jia Gongzi had already waved his hand to Gu Fei generously: "Okay, don't you still have something urgent to do? Hurry up and go offline!"

Zhan Wu Shang, You Ge, Han Jia Gongzi, and even Yu Tian Shen Ming, a ranged class, had come up, sandwiching Can Mengsi in the middle.

Gu Fei retreated in confusion. One person after another arrived, what did this mean?

Then, in the moment when he brushed past Han Jia Gongzi, Gu Fei received a message from Han Jia Gongzi: "Go to the Thieves' Guild, check the mercenary channel for the rest!"
