Chapter 1 The PK Lesson

The players of Waterdepth Guild already knew that the Guild Leader had invited someone else to teach them some PK skills. Why "another"? Because not long ago, Broken Water Arrow had joined the guild and taught everyone a lot about jungle warfare, knowledge that clearly couldn't come from an ordinary military enthusiast, because its practical value was too great. However, Broken Water Arrow later left the guild, and the guild still hasn't figured out exactly why. Some who had added Broken Water Arrow as a friend wanted to ask, but found that he had blocked their messages, completely cutting off contact.

The matter passed quietly, and now Waterdepth had invited another teacher: Qianli Yizui! This time it was a big celebrity, and everyone knew about some of the grudges between this person and their guild. It seemed that the Guild Leader's relationship with him was pretty good now, which made everyone quite excited. Who knew that when they arrived, the teacher was actually Bai Shi Jing Lun. There were also many legends about Bai Shi Jing Lun in Forest Shade City, because it and Sunset City were both close neighbors of Waterside City, and Waterside City's Sand Beach Tavern was a famous tourist attraction. Although Sunset City also relied on this large body of water, it was too far from the main city, unlike Waterside City, which was right outside the door; secondly, it wasn't a sand beach, but a mud pool, and players with nice equipment didn't want to go to the shore to fight monsters, for fear of getting their boots dirty. So, Waterside City was unique in its sand beach culture.

With this connection, Forest Shade City and Sunset City's cultures also had an intersection. The Sunset City residents learned from Forest Shade City tavern patrons that their main city was just a village in the dense forest, where lurkers lived by hunting. And the Forest Shade City villagers also knew that there was a group of martial artists in Sunset City, each one a match for three or five people, especially their leader, Bai Shi Jing Lun, who was even more amazing. Some said he could fight 20 people alone, others said he could fight 200... Anyway, he was awesome.

So, although they were all part of the "Five Little Strongs," their reputations varied in different regions. Bai Shi Jing Lun's reputation in the surrounding main cities was truly remarkable.

At Waterdepth's greeting, the branches and leaves in the forest swayed, and heads popped out from behind trees, above trees, in the grass, and below the grass. They were still wearing the camouflage that Broken Water Arrow had taught them to wear! They couldn't bear to take it off! Although this custom-made clothing had no attributes, its price was no cheaper than equipment. In the words of an advertisement, it was purely handmade, without any system assistance.

"Come, come, everyone, let me introduce you. This is Teacher Bai Shi Jing Lun." Waterdepth introduced to the players who had appeared. His Extremely Cold was now also a level six guild, with over a thousand people. Although not everyone was here, there were still several hundred online. Even those who weren't here would surely rush over after hearing the news, right? The forest became increasingly lively, surrounding Gu Fei and the others.

"This... there are too many people. How are we going to teach?" Bai Shi Jing Lun was a little sweaty. What he was teaching this time wasn't a dead routine like efficient leveling methods, where he could quickly teach it and move on to the next one. This was something even more complex and systematic than the Dual Leveling Method.

Waterdepth also realized this was a problem. After quickly communicating and negotiating with everyone in the guild, they finally decided to first give 50 people to Bai Shi Jing Lun to teach, and train a special forces unit.

"50 people? That's fine." Bai Shi Jing Lun breathed a sigh of relief. When he taught normally, a class was exactly 50 people.

As for the selection of people, it was up to Waterdepth to decide. While talking in the channel, he walked through the crowd. Some Extremely Cold players who had come to watch the excitement had already begun to leave, obviously not planning to learn. In the end, Waterdepth led 50 people over, and also gave Bai Shi Jing Lun a money bag.

"200 gold coins per person, here's 10,000. How about it, I didn't shortchange you, did I! This makes even more money than your efficient leveling method!" Waterdepth said.

"Bullshit, keep bullshitting." Gu Fei said. Was this the same thing? The efficient leveling method was at most an hour, what about this? Three weeks!!! And they had to desperately use their online time.

Waterdepth quickly smiled apologetically: "Grandpa, please be merciful, we've been spending money on clothes and camouflage recently, and we really don't have much money left. Didn't you see that half the people scattered as soon as they heard about the tuition?"

"Whatever!" Gu Fei was too lazy to care. If Bai Shi Jing Lun didn't have any objections, why should he make so much fuss?

So Bai Shi Jing Lun led his 50 newly acquired disciples deep into the forest to find a place to teach. Waterdepth and Lu Ke chatted with a group of experts for a while, then hurriedly followed. Of course, they wanted to learn too, and they were outside the 50-person quota. As a game guild leader, it was rare to have a chance to use his power for personal gain, so he had to make good use of it.

The remaining experts stared at each other. Following Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jing Lun everywhere, there was actually nothing for them to do. Seeing that there were finally no outsiders, the group finally erupted and began to find things for Gu Fei to do, demanding that he tailor-make efficient leveling methods for them as well.

"Okay, okay, I'll tailor-make them! What do you want to train?" Gu Fei said.

These guys had already thought it over, and they all reported monster names, all level 50. Gu Fei looked at a few without Agility and said, "What are you guys mixing in for? If you don't have Agility, then you need the Dual Leveling Method. I can't teach you alone, go, go, go, go back to Youye Valley to play."

Those without Agility had mastered the Dual Leveling Method in Youye Valley in Moonlit Night City, but mastering it was one thing, training was another. Gu Fei had mainly taught two combinations at the time: Warrior-Mage and Knight-Priest. Later, after Yun Zhong Mu called some more people, Gu Fei added a Dual Pugilist combination. Combining these three combinations with the people present, the problems immediately arose! Among the classes in the three combinations, there were no Dark Priests or Pugilists, and only one Fire-Clad Robe Mage, which meant they could only put together one Warrior-Mage combination. For Dao Xiang Mu and Lin Mu Sen Sen to pretend to be Mages or Priests to fight might work for practice, but if they really wanted to level up, where would the efficiency come from?

The efficient leveling method had nothing to do with Light Priests in the first place, so they were okay. But Zhan Wu Shang, You Ge, and Invincible Lucky Star had no place. They insisted that Gu Fei invent a Warrior-Knight combination for them, or even a three-person combination.

Gu Fei spread his hands in a carefree manner: "I'm just one person, I can't even teach, let alone invent? Give it up, you guys, go find somewhere to play!!"

The few had no choice but to retreat helplessly. The remaining Jian Gui, Hei Shui, Yu Tian Shen Ming, and Jiao Shui were all of the Agility race. Gu Fei's face darkened after hearing them introduce the monsters they wanted to kill. Four people, four kinds of monsters, two main cities, two from Cloud End City, two from Waterside City, and each in four different areas.

"Are you trying to let people live!" Gu Fei roared.

"We are, we are." The four quickly said, "Why don't we split up and go to the leveling areas first, take scrolls to mark the coordinates, and then send them to Qianli, so it won't waste his time, and he can fly from one place to another."

You Ge was very jealous on the side: "Don't go too far! Teleportation scrolls haven't become that common yet. If you really use them as tickets like this, I think it won't be long before you run out."

"How could we!" The four were radiant, now just waiting for Gu Fei to nod!

Gu Fei waved his hand helplessly: "Go, go, go, all of you go, let me have a moment of peace."

"Are you coming to the leveling areas?" The four still wanted a definite answer.

"Tomorrow! Today you mark the coordinates, send me all the scrolls, and tomorrow when I log in, I'll call you, one by one." Gu Fei said.

"Okay, okay, okay!!" The four didn't want to ask too much, and quickly dispersed. Gu Fei stood alone in the forest, feeling that his game life had suddenly become so full that he wanted to vomit.

Gu Fei didn't have the heart to continue playing the game. He left the forest, logged off, rested for a night, and came up the next day. The four Agility types were already waiting. As soon as they saw Gu Fei log in, they immediately greeted him: "Ahem, well, the scrolls are in your mailbox. Get them and fly directly over. I'll be right next to you."

Gu Fei sighed, left the resurrection point, went to the city gate mailbox, and four teleportation scrolls were lying obediently inside, waiting. Gu Fei picked them up and put them in his pocket, first taking the one to Waterside City. When he opened his eyes, Jiao Shui was standing respectfully beside him.

"Sigh, I've always said that archers are the hardest to play to their full potential. What are you guys so obsessed with!" Gu Fei shook his head repeatedly.

Jiao Shui didn't explain, and just rolled up his sleeves: "I'll go lure the monsters for you!"

"What weapon are you using?" Gu Fei asked.

"Daggers, I guess!" Jiao Shui said. Daggers were more closely linked to Agility. Archers didn't have the Thief's "Dagger Mastery" or the class's built-in dagger coefficient, so even though they were high-Agility classes, they couldn't fully activate the system of high-level daggers, but at least it was better than using other weapons.

"Okay!" Lead the way! Gu Fei took out a dagger.

After more than an hour, he finished teaching Jiao Shui. Gu Fei flew straight to the next island, this time it was Hei Shui. He was currently slashing at a monster, and when he saw Gu Fei come, he hurriedly greeted him with a flattering smile: "Why didn't you tell me you were coming! I didn't even have time to come and pick you up!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's start!" Gu Fei didn't even need to change his weapon, and directly went up with his knife.

Another hour passed, for a total of three hours. Gu Fei had finished teaching two people. Then he contacted Jian Gui and Yu Tian Shen Ming, asked for their coordinates, and Gu Fei went to Yu Tian Shen Ming first.

Yu Tian Shen Ming's equipment was one level higher than Jiao Shui's, and his level was also higher. His small-scale movements weren't as prone to getting lost. His learning progress was a bit faster than Jiao Shui and Hei Shui. In addition, Gu Fei was more familiar with Cloud End City, and he had bullied the monster he chose, so it was over in an hour.

"Okay, you practice. I'm going to Jian Gui's place." Gu Fei greeted Yu Tian Shen Ming and threw out the last scroll.

Gu Fei had a reason for putting Jian Gui last. Of course, it wasn't because he was bullying Jian Gui for being honest and not having any opinions, but because Jian Gui was undoubtedly the most upright person among this group, but also the unluckiest. Losing equipment, dropping levels, all the unlucky things that could happen in online games had happened to him. Although the lost equipment had been recovered, the lost levels would take this honest person a lot of effort to make up for.

Learning an efficient leveling method to improve leveling speed was a temporary solution! Gu Fei decided to give Jian Gui strict guidance to help him improve his PK skills. Gu Fei had long seen that with the players' amateurish PK methods, Jian Gui's level had reached its limit. To improve further, it could only be through strengthening equipment in the game, or mastering new skills and new tactics. To improve purely from skill, he needed real combat knowledge.

Therefore, Gu Fei put Jian Gui last in order to spend all his time on this guy next. Gu Fei had made all the preparations this time. Not only did he come himself, but he also saw Coward Savior online and asked him where he was, then messaged him to come and help. When he teleported out, Gu Fei saw that Jian Gui was fighting monsters, and Coward Savior had already arrived nearby, looking around with shifty eyes, making Jian Gui wary of him.

Gu Fei was the first to see him when he appeared, and he rushed over shouting "Master," causing Jian Gui to turn his head in surprise, looking bewildered.

"Don't call me Master!" Gu Fei got angry about this issue as usual. Coward Savior quickly shrunk to the side. Gu Fei introduced him to Jian Gui: "Well, Coward Savior, haven't you met him before?"

"Oh... I know him!" Jian Gui smiled. Although he hadn't met this person, he knew about him. The earliest time Gu Fei ran away to Moonlit Night City, he had sent him a letter, which this person had delivered.

Coward Savior had received some real guidance from Gu Fei, and he was also very passionate about kung fu, so his level was now quite decent, and ordinary people were no match for him. And his level was also not low now, having broken through 40 and changed his job to a Fist Master in the Pugilist class, and his fists were making whooshing sounds as he swung them.

"Well, Jian Gui! In my opinion, your current PK skills have reached a certain bottleneck, what do you think?" Now that he was here, Gu Fei had to explain his intentions.

Jian Gui was stunned, and then nodded quickly.

"If you continue like this, you won't be able to improve any further. You need to really master some knowledge in this area, and some bad habits need to be corrected." Gu Fei said.

Although not explicitly stated, how could Jian Gui not understand Gu Fei's meaning? It meant that he was going to give him some pointers. How many people had made this request to Gu Fei, but he had never agreed. Jian Gui was an honest person and felt that Gu Fei had difficulties, so although he also had this intention, he had never mentioned it. He was a little itchy when he saw Bai Shi Jing Lun guiding Waterdepth and his group, and almost asked someone to help him get a spot. But later, he felt that he was still an outsider to the guild, and he couldn't bring himself to say it. But now, Gu Fei actually took the initiative to offer this, which really surprised him too much.

"Come, come, come! I'll explain it to you systematically first. Coward, let's do a demonstration of sparring, and cooperate a bit." Gu Fei said.

"Don't call me Coward, I'm Coward Savior!!!" Coward Savior was very dissatisfied. Gu Fei was good in every way, except for this, always not calling him by his name, which was too depressing!
