Chapter 171 The Value of Talent

"So, are you going to buy someone or not?" Gu Fei asked, scratching his head.

Xiyao Wu glanced at him. "Why are you so enthusiastic? What's your relationship with him? Are you trying to get a kickback from me?"

"Who's getting a kickback!" Gu Fei retorted indignantly. "This Bai Shi Jing Lun comrade has a very difficult family situation. He's got amazing kung fu but can only use it in the game to PK a few people to support his family. I just thought we could help him out if we could. What kickback?"

"Really?" Xiyao Wu was stunned.

Gu Fei nodded solemnly.

Mang Mang De Mang Mang, who was standing to the side, was puzzled. "If he's so poor, how can he afford to play the game?" In Parallel World, even the game equipment is expensive. If he's as poor as Gu Fei describes, he shouldn't be able to afford it.

"Isn't this a last-ditch effort? He really can't find work in the real world," Gu Fei said.

"Is that so? Does that mean you're the same?" Xiyao Wu asked Gu Fei, knowing that Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jing Lun were the same type of person.

"I… my situation is a bit better," Gu Fei said.

"Then why?" Xiyao Wu kept asking.

"Uh, I have more relatives," Gu Fei said, wiping sweat. To really analyze why the Gu family was rich and the Gu family wasn't, it obviously couldn't be explained in a few words. It would have to go back to the river of history, starting with the family precepts and rules of the two families, and then trace some changes, opportunities, and so on. It was complicated! Gu Fei didn't fully understand it himself, so he could only make up a simple excuse.

"Oh, so you live off of handouts…" Xiyao Wu obviously misunderstood "more relatives."

"Uh… I guess…" Gu Fei thought about it and was too lazy to explain.

"Then call Bai Shi over. He sounds so pitiful," Xiyao Wu said, her sympathy overflowing.

"Okay, okay." Gu Fei quickly sent a message to Bai Shi Jing Lun, thinking that the poor kid would be ecstatic, but he didn't expect to receive a very arrogant reply: "What? Another job? Aiyo, I've been really busy lately. I'll see if I can squeeze in a trip to your place! Where are you?"

"White Stone City," Gu Fei answered honestly.

"White Stone City? That's too far. It'll take up so much time to go back and forth! How much are you paying? Let me see if it's worth it!"

Gu Fei was completely choked. It had only been a few days, but the kid's tone reeked of success. He seemed to be living quite well. He didn't know how to reply to that. On the other side, Xiyao Wu saw Gu Fei's expression changing and asked, "What's wrong? Did you call him?"

"He's been pretty busy lately. His business in the game seems to be going well," Gu Fei said honestly, not feeling the slightest bit unhappy that his warm face had met a cold butt. After all, he had introduced Bai Shi Jing Lun to the job in the hope that a fellow kung fu practitioner wouldn't be too destitute. Now that he saw Bai Shi Jing Lun's thriving demeanor, he felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.

"So, is he coming or not?" Xiyao Wu asked.

"It doesn't really matter if he comes or not. I'm still here, aren't I?" Gu Fei said with a laugh.

"Are you sick in the head?" Xiyao Wu said with contempt.

Gu Fei smiled and didn't explain.

Just as he was about to treat the matter as if it were over, Bai Shi Jing Lun suddenly went crazy again and sent Gu Fei a message: "Haha, I don't seem to have anything going on these days. I'll make a trip. White Stone City, right?"

"Right!" Gu Fei wiped his sweat, thinking that this kid probably wanted to do this business all along, but he was deliberately saying that earlier to raise his price, right? He had only been gone for a few days, and he had learned to be cunning. Sure enough, becoming a businessman was different.

"I probably won't be able to get there today. I'll be there tomorrow," Bai Shi Jing Lun said.

"Tomorrow is uncertain, right?" Gu Fei said. Fallen Star City was still quite a distance from White Stone City, and Bai Shi Jing Lun's game time every day wasn't very long.

"I'll make it. I'm at the pier by the Lakeside Shore right now. It's not far from Greenwood City, and White Stone City is right next to Greenwood City, isn't it?" Bai Shi Jing Lun replied.

"Okay, see you tomorrow," Gu Fei said.

After sending the message, he said to Xiyao Wu, "He's coming tomorrow."

"Who?" Xiyao Wu was stunned.

"Bai Shi Jing Lun."

Xiyao Wu obviously thought that the matter was already over. She didn't expect that he would be coming after only a few seconds. She said in a daze, "Wasn't he busy and not coming?"

"He suddenly said he wanted to come again," Gu Fei said helplessly.

"Do you guys who practice kung fu damage your brains?" Xiyao Wu asked.

Gu Fei was speechless.

There was nothing more to say that night. Gu Fei still went offline on time. Although Mang Mang De Mang Mang was still in danger, everyone didn't dare to be careless this time. Everlasting Among the Flowers, plus a large group of brothers from Lan Yi, hundreds of people practiced leveling outside the city, so they weren't afraid of Jian Nan You coming to attack again. However, the styles of these two groups of people were completely incompatible. They couldn't stand each other, and the people born in Moon Night City were the type who would immediately start a fight if they didn't like someone. As a result, after a night of leveling, five people were killed in internal strife. But the dead died in vain. The two groups continued to practice together. Lan Yi, these old players, had never experienced such a strange way of getting along after playing online games for so long. He secretly marveled at it in his heart.

Xiyao Wu also followed them for a while at the beginning, but she slipped away alone halfway through. She wandered around the leveling area, trying to find Jian Nan You, but she didn't succeed.

In fact, Jian Nan You and the others had also seen Xiyao Wu that night, but they were very vigilant because of the business they were engaged in. Usually, when they formed a team to level up, most of Jiao Shui's energy was focused on paying attention to whether there were any guys with ulterior motives approaching them. By the time Xiyao Wu didn't see them, she had already been discovered by Jiao Shui.

If it was Yin Yue or Bu Xiao leading the team, they might have bullied the other party when they were alone. But Jian Nan You and the others were a team with professional qualities and discipline. If Mang Mang De Mang Mang was with Xiyao Wu at this time, they might have tried it, but with only Xiyao Wu, they unhesitatingly chose to avoid her. Killing Xiyao Wu was simply a waste of time and meaningless to them unless it was absolutely necessary.

The next day, Gu Fei went online and first asked Xiyao Wu and the others who were online. After everyone reported that they were safe, he looked for Bai Shi Jing Lun. Bai Shi Jing Lun had just gone online not long ago and was just setting off from Greenwood City towards White Stone City. It was estimated that by the time he arrived, Gu Fei would be offline again. But the five members of Young Master Elite's group had already floated to White Stone City at this time.

After Gu Fei had fought with Jian Nan You and the others last night, he also told the five people that Jian Nan You was active again. The five people were troubled by playing guessing games with Ye Xiao Wu and the others in Greenwood City, so they immediately set off for White Stone City without saying a word. They had spent the second half of the night in White Stone City.

In the tavern in White Stone City, there were so many people that there weren't enough seats. Not to mention the nameless extras under Lan Yi and Everlasting Among the Flowers, just the famous people filled a table.

Gu Fei was very speechless. "Comrades, there are only seven opponents. With such a big show, you'll never see them in your life."

Han Jia Gong Zi had heard of Gu Fei's arrangement last night and looked at the full tavern, with some people not even having seats. He said with contempt, "You're still playing the luring the snake out of its hole game in this situation? You're too outdated. Since the other party only has seven people, that's clearly telling us to bully the few with the many. We shouldn't wait for them to show up anymore, but we should take action and actively find them."

"Yes, we should have done that a long time ago!" Lan Yi slammed the table. He had a large group of brothers, but he had let him work alone yesterday. He had felt that something was wrong. Now that he thought about it, wasn't that the reason? He had more people, so why should he show weakness to lure the other party out?

"If we do this, they'll be scared away. What should we do?" Gu Fei said.

"If they're scared away, Mang Mang De Mang Mang will be safe, and the goal will be achieved," Brother You said.

"That's right!" Everyone in the room nodded.

Gu Fei was depressed. This was obviously a difference in ideology. Everyone had normal thinking, using force to deter the other party and eliminating the other party's criminal consciousness in the form of preventing problems before they occurred. What Gu Fei was thinking was to lure the other party to commit a crime, and then directly eliminate the other party with force. So, the knight used martial arts to violate the prohibition. Indeed, Gu Fei's consciousness was very disharmonious.

Lan Yi was obviously also a pragmatist. As soon as he felt that this idea was reliable, he immediately began to assign manpower, who was in which group, which area to wander around in, and so on. He quickly arranged half of it, but there was a very disharmonious voice. A player raised his hand weakly and said, "May I ask who exactly are they?"

"Uh?" Lan Yi was stunned and looked at the famous people in the room. Obviously, although there were many people in this room, the extras without names didn't know Jian Nan You and the others at all. They couldn't possibly put up a sign that said "Jian Nan You, report to me"!

From this, it could also be seen that Jian Nan You and the others usually acted in a low-key manner. It was really prescient. Just like now, they were about to be subjected to a human flesh search, but most people only knew their names, not their faces, so there was no way to start.

"Damn it." Lan Yi was very depressed.

"Uh, who here can recognize that group of people besides us?" Brother You asked.

As a result, besides the six members of Young Master Elite's group, there were only Mang Mang De Mang Mang, Lan Yi, Huo Qiu, Xiyao Wu, and Ying Zuka Yue Zai, a total of 11 people.

"Divide them into eleven teams to search?" Brother You asked for Han Jia Gong Zi's opinion.

"Too few." Han Jia Gong Zi had an excellent concept of the map.

Everyone had a headache. This also reflected why talent was the most valuable. At this moment, those who could recognize Jian Nan You and his group were talents, and everyone else was not. Talent was absolutely scarce.

"Do any of you know how to draw? Draw their people out," someone under Lan Yi suggested.

Gu Fei was the first to look out the window. He was very unfamiliar with the word drawing.

The five members of Young Master Elite's group also followed Gu Fei's example. This job was too technical.

Lan Yi and Ying Zuka Yue Zai were also silent, while Huo Qiu said blankly, "If the other party is a girl, maybe I can."

Their gazes finally fell on the two girls. Everyone felt that since there was no one to choose, maybe the girls could just make do.

"I can't do it. I don't know how to draw," Mang Mang De Mang Mang said quickly.

"What are you looking at? I don't know either," Xiyao Wu, who was being stared at by everyone, shouted.

"Or can any of you describe them clearly? I'll draw them!" The guy who had just made the suggestion took the initiative to volunteer. Obviously, he had this skill, which was why he had thought of this idea.

Describe… Gu Fei looked out the window again. He had just wanted a sense of the picture, and now he wanted written skills… The scenery outside today was really good.
