Hu Die Lan
Chapter 939 Know Your Opponent
Where was Qianli Yizui? That was a rather complicated question. He was a high-end player now, not like the average ones who just hung around their own main city. He flew all over the world from one city to another. Who knew which of the ten main cities he was in at the moment? Or had he already gone back to Cloudrise City?
Finding a person was difficult, but finding someone with such an unconventional range of activity like Qianli Yizui was even more so. Fortunately, Qianli Yizui was arrogant enough. Black clothes and a purple sword, the whole world knew that was his signature look. Carrying two such super-elite pieces of equipment, this guy was never afraid of thieves. It was said that he often walked down the street with his sword held high, afraid the bandits wouldn't see it.
Yingqi Studio had now received a unified order: drop whatever work you have on hand and go out into the streets to find this arrogant guy. Report to superiors immediately upon spotting the target.
Outside the city, players leveling up were full of enthusiasm, praising Qianli Yizui to the skies.
Inside the city, the studio staff were crawling out of every corner – respawn points, trade streets, mailboxes, taverns, anywhere with frequent foot traffic – gnashing their teeth as they inquired about Qianli Yizui's whereabouts.
Gu Fei wasn't afraid of any of this, nor did he care. He had already logged off to rest, but was summoned back to run a circuit of ten main cities. Now that his task was complete, he was just waiting for Xi Yao Wu to have her fun before they all returned to Cloudrise City together. But this playful girl surprisingly restrained herself today. After playing around for a while, she ran back and threw a dagger straight at Gu Fei, cursing, "I've been playing this game for years, and I've never used such a trash weapon!"
Gu Fei smiled, casually catching the dagger, wiping it off, and putting it back in his pocket. Xi Yao Wu's equipment was too powerful; she killed it in no time. Being a teacher was clearly not suitable for her. Later, she removed her equipment and took the teaching dagger Gu Fei gave her, and only then did she complete the task.
"Damn, you're still treasuring it like a treasure," Xi Yao Wu said with a look of disgust. That dagger was probably the lowest-end in the world, with an attack power of only 1-2. Xi Yao Wu felt nauseous just holding it, like a nightmare. Using this trash to fight monsters made her feel uncomfortable, which affected her entertainment mood. After being a teacher for a while, she switched back to her own style, frantically mowing down monsters before leaving sharply.
Jiaoshui laughed too. "Baisishi does the same. He also carries such a dagger with him, using it when developing the efficiency leveling method."
"Did you hear that? This isn't a weapon, it's a research tool," Gu Fei said.
"Tch." Xi Yao Wu scoffed. Of course she knew what he was up to with such a broken thing. Finally, she asked, "When are you going to teach me to fight level 60 monsters?"
Ordinary experts could learn level 50 from Gu Fei, but Xi Yao Wu was a tycoon with outrageous equipment. Once she mastered the techniques, she could challenge level 60 like Gu Fei, or at least handle level 55.
"Tomorrow! Tomorrow!" Gu Fei said.
"Now!"
"Tomorrow!"
"What about now?"
"Time to rest," Gu Fei said.
"You're no fun," Xi Yao Wu said.
Gu Fei expressed helplessness. He shouldn't have appeared at this time in the first place. This was purely an accident.
"Then let's go back!" Xi Yao Wu took out a scroll, and the three of them teleported away together.
Xi Yao Wu was undoubtedly an eye-catching girl. Her teaching wasn't as professional and low-key as the teachers in other places. Later, she switched back to her own powerful equipment to mow down monsters, leaving a deep impression on the players in the leveling area. Yingqi's people hadn't found any clues in the other nine cities, but finally found something in this tenth city. Based on the descriptions of the players in the leveling area, they quickly determined that this girl should be Xi Yao Wu.
There were no clues in the other nine cities, only this one place had some information. Yongyuan had no choice, so he led his men to this city.
If it was a head-on confrontation, Eagle Platoon wouldn't be too afraid of Qianli Yizui. Their equipment was high-end, and Qianli Yizui wasn't a one-hit-kill threat to them. Moreover, their class composition was perfect, and their coordination and cooperation were top-notch. As long as they weren't separated, they could still fight Qianli Yizui.
But even that fight would only be a tie. They were just not afraid, it didn't mean they had the means to kill Qianli Yizui. Qianli Yizui was agile, and his attack methods could be ranged or melee. When you thought he was a mage, he was a warrior; when you thought he was a warrior, he might be a mage.
If he saw you had a lot of people, he might not come over; if he saw you had few people, he could swagger up and bully you. Yongyuan was in pain! In fact, it was like a large guild. A level six guild with thousands of people wouldn't be afraid of Qianli Yizui either, but the end result was that neither side could do anything to the other.
Yongyuan sighed, leading his brothers to this tenth city. Along the way, everyone discussed, but they couldn't come up with any clever plans.
It definitely wouldn't work to just charge straight at him. He wouldn't be stupid enough to wait for you to surround him, so they could only set a trap and lure Qianli Yizui into it. But Qianli Yizui had a six-meter instant teleportation, so if the encirclement was too small, he would just jump out and leave. If the encirclement was too large, Qianli Yizui's positioning could instantly mess up their formation.
"What to do?" Yongyuan was troubled, but this trouble quickly passed because new information arrived: Qianli Yizui had logged off.
"Well, what a wasted trip," Yongyuan said helplessly to the others.
"So what do we do now?"
"I don't know. Qianli Yizui has really outdone himself this time. A big deal has been ruined by him. The boss spent a lot of money to get someone to develop this efficiency leveling method, and now it can't continue because of Qianli Yizui, so he'll definitely have to pay compensation," Yongyuan sighed.
Everyone was silent. The boss's business wasn't their concern, but this time it was the players' interference that messed up his business, and it seemed that the responsibility of solving this problem would fall on them. It seemed that the boss regarded eliminating Qianli Yizui as the key to solving this problem.
"Anyway, Qianli Yizui isn't here now, so let's go back! Get some rest these next few days, I reckon we'll be busy," Yongyuan said.
Qianli Yizui had logged off, and of course Gaishi Qiying quickly received the news as well. He helplessly flew back to the conference, everyone was waiting for his explanation!
"Qianli Yizui, I will definitely deal with this guy, but he's not online now," Gaishi Qiying said.
"It seems that this guy is deliberately targeting you," one person said.
Gaishi Qiying was silent. There was a barb in those words, and he had expected this outcome. These guys now wanted to kick him out of the game.
But Gaishi Qiying suddenly smiled. "Don't forget, I have resources in my hands."
"You do have resources, but with Qianli Yizui causing trouble like this, you can't sell them even if you have them!" one person said.
"That would be terrible," Gaishi Qiying's smile was very gloomy. "Mr. Chen Qiyi on my side is also looking forward to this deal. Now that it can't continue, do you think he might do something to take revenge on society?"
"You... what do you mean?" Everyone was shocked by these words. This Gaishi Qiying seemed to be driven mad, and he came up with such a harmful trick. What he meant was, if he couldn't do this deal, then no one else could, and he would instruct his developer to also freely teach the efficiency leveling method.
"You're threatening us," someone said with dissatisfaction.
"How can you say that? I said it all, it's my partner. You see, I offended Qianli Yizui, so he retaliated against me in this way. But he didn't think that this retaliation wouldn't just cut off my own source of wealth. I don't have any skills, so I have to endure it, but maybe other skilled people will also use the same method to fight back?" Gaishi Qiying said.
The bosses were instantly frantic, and they immediately understood Gaishi Qiying's meaning.
Did Qianli Yizui suddenly jump out to cause trouble because Yunteng was behind it? Although the bosses had different ideas in their minds, they honestly didn't care too much. They just wanted to do this deal peacefully. But now this fight between Yunteng and Yingqi was about to lead to a total loss!
Gaishi Qiying had obviously decided that this matter was a conspiracy between Yunteng and Qianli Yizui, so he was retaliating in kind. He would rather lose money himself than drag Yunteng down with him.
Damn it, you two can die however you want, but everyone still wants to make money! The bosses wanted to cry but had no tears. They had fantasized about these two fighting each other, so they could reap the benefits, but who would have thought that these two would fight so fiercely, wanting to destroy everything!
"Boss Ya, what do you think?" Gaishi Qiying even called him out by name.
"Everyone, let's talk nicely, let's talk nicely!" One of the bosses was already trying to persuade them.
Someone even jumped out and said, "Does anyone know Qianli Yizui? Can't we try to mediate?" This was already hinting that Yaxiaosuangen shouldn't continue like this.
"That's not necessary," Gaishi Qiying smiled, then said, "Actually, if I'm only responsible for development, I don't need to come to the forefront. The publicity work is all done by you. How much influence does Qianli Yizui have? How can he know which of these deals have Yingqi's involvement? So as long as none of you go and greet Qianli Yizui yourselves, can he find the right door?"
Yaxiaosuangen smiled and shook his head after hearing this. "Boss Gai, I understand what you're saying. You're sure that Qianli Yizui was hired by me, right? You think that as long as I don't leak the information, Qianli Yizui won't be able to cause trouble for you at all?"
"Isn't it?" Gaishi Qiying said.
"Boss Gai, it seems that you still haven't taken the players you offended seriously. To be honest, Qianli Yizui's interference in your business is definitely not my idea. I don't have such a big face to order this expert around. Boss Gai, you've also dealt with this person, do you think he's someone who can be bought over and won't do the opposite of what you say? You're mistaken, you're really mistaken. Right now, it's not Qianli Yizui helping me, but Qianli Yizui and his group of players who are dealing with you. I'm just benefiting from my inherent position. Figure out your opponent, Boss Gai..."
