Chapter 113 Teaching

The boy had already fallen to the ground, completely unaware of what had happened. He dazedly checked himself, found that his health points had barely decreased, and his fighting spirit reignited. He scrambled up and continued to hack at Gu Fei.

Gu Fei, at this point, was preparing to smile and say some polite words to further promote his kung fu. But before he could open his mouth, the boy’s sword was already swinging at his face again. Gu Fei quickly dodged and asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

The boy was also stunned and quickly withdrew his sword, asking, "Aren't we fighting anymore?"

"Do you really want me to beat you to death?" Gu Fei asked, his face darkening.

The boy scratched his head. "I still have a lot of HP left!"

Gu Fei was helpless. "Wasn't falling once enough?"

"I was too careless." The boy gave a profound self-criticism, then found the half-eaten apple that had caused him to slip. He kicked it away fiercely, cursing, "Who's the inconsiderate jerk littering everywhere!"

Gu Fei's face darkened even further. It seemed he had played with a bit too much finesse. This idiot didn't even realize it was his apple that made him fall? But the eyes of the masses should be sharp! Gu Fei looked at the other students. The other students were also looking at him. They had indeed seen Gu Fei throw the apple, but no one thought that this throw was the result of Gu Fei's precise calculation. The students quietly stared at Gu Fei. Finally, one of them mustered the courage to say, "Teacher, even though this is a game, it's not good to litter…"

"I... must endure!!!" Gu Fei could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger. They were all his students, after all. Was he supposed to beat them until they were black and blue like he would a thug? Gu Fei decided he couldn't bring himself to do that, so he had racked his brains to come up with this trick. But the students interpreted it as littering. No good deed goes unpunished!

"Teacher, are we going to keep going or not?" the warrior student asked.

"Alright! Teacher won't hold back anymore. Don't blame me if I hit too hard!" Gu Fei had to prove his kung fu. Anyway, getting beaten up in the game didn't hurt that much. So he rolled up the sleeves of his Dark Night Spiritual Robe and prepared to get serious.

"Haha, teacher, don't go easy on me!" This boy seemed much more confident than Gu Fei.

"Ouch!" As soon as he finished speaking, the student's head was sent flying. A sharp pain shot up his nose. He lowered his head dazedly and saw Gu Fei's fist retracting from in front of his eyes. Gu Fei was looking at him, saying, "Focus, okay!"

"Ah..." The boy didn't even realize how he had taken a punch to the face. He saw Gu Fei's second fist flying towards him. This time, he didn't dodge, swinging the greatsword in his hand to hack at Gu Fei's head.

Gu Fei had expected that with his skill level, he would resort to this crude tactic of hurting himself in the process of trying to hurt others. Of course, Gu Fei wouldn't let him succeed. This punch was just a feint. After luring him to strike with his sword, Gu Fei stepped forward, dodging the incoming blade and landing a punch on the boy's shoulder. Gu Fei still had a sense of decency and didn't want to turn his student's face into a mess.

The two punches from the mage were nothing to the warrior. The boy's sword missed, and he turned his hand to continue hacking. But unexpectedly, Gu Fei was standing in an extremely tricky position. When the boy turned his hand to swing the sword, his arm couldn't twist any further. Gu Fei seemed to have known this would happen all along. As the boy's sword failed to swing down, Gu Fei smiled slightly at him, reached out, and flicked him on the forehead.

What followed finally made the completely clueless students realize how terrifying Gu Fei was. The boy waved his greatsword but couldn't touch Gu Fei at all. If Gu Fei was running away and he was chasing, it would be easy to understand. But Gu Fei was right beside him, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, now in front, now in back. He dodged according to the direction the boy's sword was coming from and counterattacked.

The boy didn't know how many punches he had taken. If Gu Fei had a weapon, even with a little physical damage, he would have died long ago. It was only because Gu Fei was empty-handed that he had lasted this long. But after taking so many punches, even a blockhead would know that he could never beat the person in front of him. But now, the audience was no longer limited to students. Many passing players had stopped to watch this unique PK, making the boy feel awkward. He could only continue to mechanically swing the sword in his hand, even though he knew that every swing was useless.

Gu Fei couldn't help but smile at the boy's dazed, foolish look. He poked him on the forehead again, then jumped out of the battle and said with a smile, "Is that enough?"

The boy touched his forehead, completely shocked, and couldn't answer.

The other students were also stunned for a long time, then suddenly swarmed around him, shouting, "Teacher, teach me!"

Gu Fei finally achieved his desired effect and was extremely satisfied. He immediately put on airs and started playing mysterious. "If you have this kind of skill, do you still need levels?"

"No, we don't need them!" the students answered eagerly.

"Hehe." Gu Fei smiled, but then he changed his tune. "Actually, levels are still very necessary. Without the support of level points, you can't execute such fast moves."

"Then what should we do?" the students asked, confused.

"Levels are the foundation, kung fu is the technique." After thinking about it, Gu Fei felt that this summary was pretty accurate.

"Then should we level up or learn kung fu?" the students asked, puzzled.

"Learn kung fu? That's a big claim. Do you think this is like leveling up in a game, something you can do in three to five months?" Gu Fei said.

"Does it take that long?" the students exclaimed.

Gu Fei's face darkened. These kids thought three to five months was a long time. He had been practicing since he was a child, and even now, he was still working tirelessly to improve himself.

"We only have a month of vacation!" the students said dejectedly.

Gu Fei also sighed. That's right, ordinary people simply didn't have the conditions or time to learn kung fu. If he had been weighed down by nine years of compulsory education and the pressure of the college entrance exam when he was young, he wouldn't have been able to practice kung fu either.

"You really don't have the conditions to learn kung fu, but I can teach you some practical skills that can at least help you deal with monster grinding and PK in the game," Gu Fei said.

"Ahhh, then let's start quickly!!!" the students shouted.

"Let's go, to the wilderness." Gu Fei waved his hand and led a group of students away.

In the wilderness, Gu Fei held up a small monster to give the students a live demonstration. These were truly skills, skills that Gu Fei, with his sharp kung fu eyes, had found in the attack patterns of these NPC monsters during the monster grinding process. The title of second place on the efficiency chart was not for nothing. The monster grinding methods that Gu Fei had developed using his talent were far beyond those of ordinary players. Even Sword Demon and the other veteran gamers were no match for him.

And the NPC monster was an excellent teaching model, its movements meticulous, and respawning immediately after being destroyed. The students sat in two neat rows, as if in gym class, watching Gu Fei demonstrate the decomposed movements.

"Faced with this kind of attack, the first step is to sidestep, step to the right, distance, see clearly the distance of this step, everyone remember it." Gu Fei used a backhand sword to kill the monster first, then repeated the sidestep and right step in place twice.

"Okay, everyone stand up, follow me and do it once." Gu Fei clapped his hands to signal the students to stand up.

"Sidestep!"

"Step to the right, pay attention to the distance."

After stepping, Gu Fei went back to check the students' steps, correcting a few people's mistakes.

"Yes, that's right, do it again. Sidestep, step to the right. Yes, not bad." Gu Fei was completely immersed in teaching.

"The next step is to counterattack. The counterattack will be slightly different, depending on what kind of weapon everyone has. It requires targeted practice. Everyone divide into groups according to your profession. Uh, priests can be in the same group as mages, archers… if archers want to play shooting, go back and practice CS. Okay, after dividing into groups, everyone practice the first step first, and I will guide each group on how to counterattack."

Then, according to the length of the weapons and the methods of attack, Gu Fei personally taught the students how to counterattack.

"Okay, now everyone has mastered the counterattack, so let's connect the two parts of the movement together once. There is a detail that everyone must pay attention to, which is the connection between the first step and the second step. Breaking it down into two steps is just to make it easier for everyone to practice. In fact, these two steps should be done in one go. Or, to be precise, we shouldn't call it two steps. If everyone is still counting the first step and the second step in actual combat, then it will be terrible. In the following connection practice, everyone must abandon the habit of counting the first step and the second step and complete the two sets of movements as a whole. Does everyone understand?"

"Understood," the students answered in unison.

"Okay, stay in your groups. I'll take the warrior group to practice once first. The other groups can try it themselves first." Gu Fei said, and went to practice with the warrior students.

After practicing with the warrior group for a few times and instructing them to continue practicing on their own, Gu Fei ran to the thief group, then the mage group, working like an assembly line.

"Okay, now everyone use your own way to practice together." Gu Fei stood at the front of the team and directed, constantly correcting the students' problems.

"Teacher, we're already very familiar with it, let's practice with monsters!" Gradually, some students who had mastered it well began to look forward to actual combat.

"Everyone's familiar with it?" Gu Fei asked.

"Familiar," they replied in unison again.

"Uh, in that case..." After thinking about it, Gu Fei pointed to A Fa and said, "A Fa, take a few people over there and lure back four monsters. Give one to each group, and each group sends one person to practice with the monster first. The others should observe carefully and see if they're doing it right. If there's any danger, remember to quickly work together to solve the monster."

The students followed Gu Fei's instructions and began to practice with monsters. In the beginning, there were often accidents, but as they practiced, they gradually mastered the method. Gu Fei saw that it was about time, suddenly took action and cleared all four monsters. He clapped his hands and gathered everyone together again to start lecturing. "Just now, everyone probably also discovered that this method only deals with the most common attack methods of small monsters. In fact, small monsters will occasionally have other kinds of attacks. I found that most students choose to resist when faced with other kinds of attacks, waiting for the small monster to return to this attack. But..." Gu Fei pointed to three students, "Wang Shuangshuang, Zhang Fan, and Hu Yong, these three students did a great job. They noticed the other attacks of the other monsters and could also use this method to dodge and counterattack, but it needs to be slightly modified. Now, I will demonstrate it."

Two whole hours passed. Gu Fei finally finished teaching the complete set of fighting methods for this level 30 small monster. The students' comprehension and athletic talent varied, and the degree of mastery varied. But there was only so much theoretical knowledge after all. Next, it depended on whether the students practiced diligently.

"Okay, today's class will end here! You will use this method to level up. Tomorrow's class will be about how to fight level 35 one-eyed hunters. The one-eyed hunter has high agility. Characters who have not added more than 20 points to agility cannot use this method, so they don't have to come; these students will follow me the day after tomorrow to learn how to fight level 35 lumberjacks, which does not require too much agility." Gu Fei gave a summary of the day and a preview of the next class.

"Ahhh, teacher!" Immediately, some students had objections. It was the "characters who had not added more than 20 points to agility." "Wouldn't we have to practice one day later then!!!"

"That's right, they'll learn how to fight level 35 monsters tomorrow, and we still have to fight level 30 monsters for a day."

"By the way, teacher, since there is a technique to directly fight level 35 monsters, why not just learn that? Why do we have to learn how to fight level 30 monsters?"

"You want to run before you've learned to walk? Do you understand gradual progress? Didn't you see that many students are having a hard time even fighting level 30 monsters?" Gu Fei said.

"Of course it's hard, they're not even level 10 yet..." a student muttered.

In fact, it was more than just hard. These students simply couldn't fight at all. If it weren't for the help of others, they would have died countless times during practice. Gu Fei gathered these students in front of him and said earnestly, "Look, you few are the typical example of being too low level, which is equivalent to not having a solid foundation. There is no other way, you can only work harder. You have to quickly increase your levels these two days so that you can practice with everyone. Otherwise, you can only watch everyone practice, and you'll be getting experience for nothing. Isn't that boring?"

"No, I think this is pretty good," a student replied with a smile.

"You have no ambition. You won't amount to anything," Gu Fei scorned him.

Watching the students kill small monsters using the skills he had taught, Gu Fei really felt a sense of accomplishment, but he didn't forget his identity. After looking at the time, he called out to the students, "Okay, everyone practice like this for another hour, then you can go offline and take a break."

"Ah!! Teacher, no, it's a holiday now!!" the students wailed.

"You can't play too much even on vacation. Go offline and take a break, read a book, have dinner, you can come back and play for a while after dinner, don't play too late, don't stay up all night, get to bed early and get up early, so you'll be in good spirits. Tomorrow's class will be in the morning, and those who don't come will be marked absent and it will be recorded on your PE class attendance for the next semester."

"Ah ah ah! Teacher, you're too much." The students cried.

"Teacher, I have something to do tomorrow morning, can I not come?" a student asked, scheming.

"You can, then don't play the game at all for the whole day, and take care of your business properly; if it just so happens that you only have something to do in the morning, then get a leave slip signed by your parents," Gu Fei said, and the student burst into tears.

"Teacher, you don't let us play, but you play so hard yourself!!" the students protested.

"I will keep the same schedule as everyone else. You can also monitor me," Gu Fei said.

The students were in tears. What could they do by monitoring you? They couldn't record your attendance or deduct your conduct points.

"Alright, alright. Stop rambling. You can kill several monsters while you're talking. You'll soon find out that using the method I taught you, one hour of practice is enough, and if you practice again in the evening, it'll be even more amazing," Gu Fei said.

The students were skeptical, but since there was no other way, they could only find small monsters to level up under Gu Fei's supervision. Gu Fei roamed around, getting a free ride on the experience points the students were racking up, and correcting the students' mistakes from time to time. When he was in a good mood, he would personally demonstrate some difficult techniques, so that those students with high comprehension and quick learning could also continue to improve.

The hour passed quickly. After practicing, the students were surprised to find that, as Gu Fei said, the efficiency of this hour was amazing, at least equivalent to two to three hours of their usual leveling.

"Is it that OP?" the students asked in surprise.

"Is there anything special about this?" One student skillfully demonstrated everything he had learned today.

"If we could practice like this all day..." one student fantasized, but Gu Fei's eyes were already fixed on him, and he quickly lowered his head and swallowed the words back.

"Line up, return to the city," Gu Fei shouted.

The students dawdled, reluctant to leave, and it took ten minutes to line up. In the meantime, they killed several more small monsters. Gu Fei didn't dwell on it too much, half-opened and half-closed his eyes, letting the students finish forming the team, and led everyone back to the main city.

"Hey, Lao Sun and the others didn't come today, they missed out big time." On the way back, the students chatted animatedly, regretting that the few students who didn't make it to today's event had missed out.

"For those who didn't come, you guys can guide each other then," Gu Fei reminded everyone.

"Yes!" The students nodded obediently.

When they arrived at the resurrection point, Gu Fei escorted the students offline one by one. The students cried again. This teacher was the last one to go offline. Who knew if he really went offline? Should they launch a surprise inspection and see if he was still online? If they really bumped into him, he would probably say that he had caught them sneaking back to play the game.

In fact, Gu Fei wasn't as shameless as the students thought. After seeing that all the students had gone offline, he did what he said and left the game as well. With this one incident, the most tormented were the seven from Jian Nan You's group.

Jian Nan You now had Gu Fei's friend request. As soon as they saw Gu Fei go online, the seven were like they were facing a formidable enemy, paying twelve points of attention to their surroundings, fearing that a flame would fall from the sky, or a black shadow would suddenly appear in front of them. Anything red or black would make the seven of them nervous.

But what was more painful was that from the time Gu Fei went online to the time he went offline, they were startled and jumped around, but nothing happened.

"What on earth is this guy up to?" the seven of them wondered, troubled.

"The buyer of the staff hasn't shown up again for another day." The observation at the auction house was still continuing, but Jian Nan You and the others had already recognized the colleagues who were eyeing the staff. As long as the colleagues made a move, it would not escape their eyes.
