Chapter 102 Questions

Gu Fei couldn't completely ignore Xi Yao Wu, so when he saw something happening, he immediately nudged her and pointed his chin in that direction.

There had been a row of player stalls there, but now a few were scattered about, packing up to leave. This confirmed that they were targeting Insanely Supernatural with an ambush, which was a bit reckless. Gu Fei was just treating everyone moving around at this moment as a potential suspect.

But Xi Yao Wu was much more direct. As soon as Gu Fei pointed, she immediately pointed at the people packing up their stalls: "Hey, you lot, stop right there!"

They had already been paying attention to this side, or Gu Fei wouldn't have focused on them in the first place. Now that Xi Yao Wu shouted, they panicked even more. They didn't even finish packing before taking off. Xi Yao Wu became even more convinced of her judgment and sprinted after them. Gu Fei didn't think it proved anything; Xi Yao Wu's bluffs would scare nine out of ten people.

"Stop, I'm talking to you! Keep running and you're dead!" Xi Yao Wu threatened as she chased, and they ran even faster. But no matter how fast they were, they couldn't outrun Xi Yao Wu. She caught up after a short distance and stabbed with her blade. Seeing they couldn't escape, and not wanting to die for nothing, the person immediately pulled out their own blade and exchanged blows with Xi Yao Wu.

Xi Yao Wu's shout had stirred up the hornets' nest, and the others scattered immediately. They were all Agility-based classes, and Gu Fei and Xi Yao Wu were only two people, barely enough to chase one each. Xi Yao Wu successfully caught up with hers, and Gu Fei, relying on his powerful Blink, also caught up and knocked one down.

"What are you doing!" Gu Fei demanded, not wanting to kill innocent players.

"Setting up a stall," the person answered, trembling.

Gu Fei realized his question was stupid. Was anyone really going to say, "I'm your enemy, come kill me?" Xi Yao Wu ran over, mocking him. The guy she chased down was already taken care of.

Gu Fei was about to criticize her for being rash, but Xi Yao Wu was already looking down on him: "What kind of question is that? Are you serious?"

Gu Fei paused, and Xi Yao Wu pushed him aside: "Get out of the way, I'll do it."

"Where is Olento?" Xi Yao Wu asked the player, glaring at him.

"What thing?" Gu Fei didn't hear clearly, and the guy looked even more confused.

Xi Yao Wu sneered: "You don't even know that? Must be from out of town." She was about to attack. The player looked desperate and didn't even try to argue. Xi Yao Wu raised her blade and easily finished him off.

The other players had long disappeared. Gu Fei asked Xi Yao Wu, "What thing did you just say?"

"I pretended to ask a question that any Cloud City player should know, to test his reaction. Look at him, he's obviously not from Cloud City. He's definitely not a good person," Xi Yao Wu said.

Gu Fei thought that her cleverness made some sense, but "You don't need to make something up, right? There should be something real?"

"How would I know? I'm not from Cloud City," Xi Yao Wu rolled her eyes. "Do you know anything, you native?"

Gu Fei thought and thought, but couldn't come up with anything. This kind of thing, that only players from the main city would know and outsiders wouldn't, usually came from memorable must-do quests in that city. But Gu Fei wasn't a quest person; the only must-do quest in his mind was the bounty, so he couldn't think of such a question.

"Those other guys ran fast!" Xi Yao Wu looked around; there wasn't a trace of the others.

"Mm..." Gu Fei responded and returned to the city gate.

"They all ran away, what are you doing here?" Xi Yao Wu wondered.

"What if that's what they want you to think?" Gu Fei smiled.

"Playing mind games! It does make sense," Xi Yao Wu nodded and continued to pose beside Gu Fei, hands on her hips.

Yin Sha Zhi and the others were tearful. It was indeed his diversion. He saw that Thousand Miles Drunk was targeting them, so he managed to convince a few people to make a suicidal retreat, hoping to trick Thousand Miles Drunk into thinking they were gone. Who knew that Thousand Miles Drunk wouldn't fall for such a trick. After killing two people, he came right back. If they kept squatting here, it would be pointless! What was worse, if they had all retreated together earlier, sacrificing two people would have allowed everyone else to escape. But if they moved now, they might lose another two.

Gu Fei and Xi Yao Wu's eyes darted left and right. Many of the players who witnessed the scene were scared. They didn't know what was going on, they only saw those people packing up to leave, and these two chased after them and started killing. What was the meaning of this? Were the players who set up stalls here today not allowed to leave? Did they have to be watched until they had enough?

The players setting up stalls were all frightened. Many people recognized Thousand Miles Drunk, and quite a few had heard of Xi Yao Wu. These two were people that even big guilds had to think twice about offending. How could these small-time business people dare to provoke them? They were all on pins and needles, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

After a while, someone in the crowd of players setting up stalls weakly raised their hand. Gu Fei saw this gesture but didn't pay much attention. He scanned around again and noticed that the person was still stubbornly raising their hand. Even Xi Yao Wu poked him: "Hey, look, that person's arm seems to be cramping, they've been raising it for a long time."

"Want to say something?" Gu Fei suddenly realized. Raising hands to speak, he was familiar with that! He was a teacher.

"This com... uh, what is it?" Gu Fei almost asked, "What is it, student?"

"Thousand Miles Boss, I'm about to lose my internet connection, I have to log off quickly, can I leave?" The person replied tremulously after being called out by Gu Fei, as if answering a teacher's question.

"Sure, why not, go ahead," Gu Fei said.

The person was overjoyed. They packed up their stall and were about to leave, but Xi Yao Wu suddenly called out, "Wait!"

"Ah?" The person shuddered, and the others "thumped" in their hearts for him.

Xi Yao Wu quickly walked up to him, took out her dagger, and stared at him: "Question."

"Ah?" The person was close to a beauty, but this wasn't the time to appreciate it.

"Where is Olento?" Xi Yao Wu asked seriously.

Hearing this, the person was horrified. Could it be that the two guys who died earlier did so because they answered this question incorrectly? What was the deep meaning of this question? What the heck was Olento? The person was almost crying.

"Answer honestly," Xi Yao Wu said.

"I..."

"You don't know? Why don't you know?" Xi Yao Wu asked.

"I don't know, I really don't know." The person was about to break down.

"Alright, you can go!" Xi Yao Wu's answer was extremely surprising. He suspected he misheard: "What?"

"Get going," Xi Yao Wu ignored him.

The person left dazedly, turning his head every few steps. He really couldn't figure out the purpose of the question. What answers did those two who were killed give?

At this time, Xi Yao Wu returned to Gu Fei's side, smug: "How was that?"

Gu Fei didn't think it was very good. He felt that under Xi Yao Wu's intimidation, too many people would panic and answer "I don't know." What could you find out with that? If you want to use this method, you still need to find a reliable question. Thinking this, Gu Fei quickly contacted Brother You.

This kind of thing was too simple for Brother You, and he quickly provided Gu Fei with several answers that any player who leveled up in Cloud City would have to do and know. Gu Fei looked at them and saw there were five questions in total. He didn't know any of them and felt extremely ashamed.

Yin Sha Zhi and the others, who hadn't found a chance to escape, were facing a formidable enemy. They had witnessed scene after scene, and Yin Sha Zhi immediately made a judgment: Thousand Miles Drunk didn't recognize them, so he was using some question to verify their identities. The guy just now passed the verification, so he left easily. As long as they knew how the other side was verifying, they could swagger past this guy without any problem.

"To be able to filter us out from so many people, it seems like they're asking the kind of questions that only Cloud City players would know the answers to," Yin Sha Zhi wasn't stupid after all.

"Ask about Killer Intent and Heart Blade! They must have been asked already," someone reminded. Killer Intent and Heart Blade were the two who were just killed.

"Idiot, why would they ask the same question!" Yin Sha Zhi said. He said that, but someone was already asking the two in the channel, and their answers were the same: Where is Olento? Someone also explained the question the same way: "It doesn't matter if the question is the same, because they believe we won't be able to answer it."

"Damn, are they looking down on us too much?" Yin Sha Zhi was depressed. He really didn't know the answer to this question, and the channel was also blank, but he could ask for off-site help! Yin Sha Zhi quickly sent a message back home, asking someone to log off immediately to check the answer to this question.

"How can you not find it?" Yin Sha Zhi had 100% confidence. Since it was something that everyone in Cloud City knew, it couldn't be found on the internet?

But more than ten minutes passed, and the person who went offline hurried back up to report: "No, there's really nothing. I used all the search methods, and I can't even find the four words 'Olento'."

"Damn, no wonder they asked this question, what the hell is this thing?" Yin Sha Zhi was confused.

"Boss," someone wanted to speak.

"Say it."

"Could it be that we're using the wrong characters?" the person said.

Yin Sha Zhi realized, it was a compound noun like this, who knew what four characters it was? If the characters were wrong, the search would be very weak. Unless it was a popular search, a smart search engine might give a correction. But this didn't seem to be the case, otherwise the guy who went offline to check would have been able to find it.

"Could it be that they even considered these details?" Yin Sha Zhi gritted his teeth.

"Why don't we jump up and run? With so many people, we'll only die two at most," someone suggested.

These words reminded Yin Sha Zhi, and he slapped his head: "Damn, I'm stupid, why did I even need to go offline to check!!"

Yin Sha Zhi looked left and right and pointed his chin towards a player over there: "Go ask him."

"Ask what?"

"Ask the person next to you."

The person looked at the Cloud City native next to him and immediately realized. Why did he need to go offline to check, since everyone in Cloud City knew it, wouldn't it be easy to ask?

The person immediately leaned towards the Cloud City native next to him: "Hey bro, do you know where Olento is?"

"What?" the person asked, confused.

"Where is Olento?"

But the other person frowned and shook his head: "I don't know."

"You heard me clearly, it's O-len-to~" The person was afraid that his accent was wrong and pronounced it clearly, word by word.

"I don't know."

"No way?"

"I really don't know, why would I lie about this?" The other person didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The questioner looked blank and turned around, spreading his hands towards Yin Sha Zhi.

"What's the situation?"

"The person doesn't know either."

"Doesn't know?"

"Yeah, doesn't know."

Yin Sha Zhi was thinking. After a moment, he sneered.

"Damn, it turns out it's a test," Yin Sha Zhi said, "It's a made-up question, but when we hear it, we think it's a test, and as a result, we can't pass this hurdle and reveal ourselves. Killer Intent, Heart Blade, is that what you two thought when you heard them ask this question?"

"Yeah..." The two answered in a muffled voice; the people who just lost a level couldn't be in a good mood.

"So..." Yin Sha Zhi smiled, confidently imitating the way the other guy raised his hand earlier.

Gu Fei and Xi Yao Wu quickly saw him and walked over without hesitation.

"Excuse me, I want to leave, may I?" Yin Sha Zhi was all smiles, his performance was natural, and he wasn't nervous at all. His subordinates were extremely admiring.

"Wait, question!" Xi Yao Wu said.

"Question?" Yin Sha Zhi pretended to be confused.

"What level can you trigger the 'Ice Force' quest issued by NPC Josh on Fudong Road?" Xi Yao Wu asked.

Yin Sha Zhi's previously fabricated confusion turned into real confusion. The confident smile that was lurking under the confusion quickly stiffened, stiffened, stiffened.

"What... what did you say?" Yin Sha Zhi barely managed to ask.

"What level can you accept the Ice Force quest," Xi Yao Wu repeated.

"Sorry, I don't think I've done this quest before, I'm not very sure..." Yin Sha Zhi said.

"Oh?" Gu Fei and Xi Yao Wu both raised their eyebrows. According to Brother You, if any Cloud City player didn't know any of these five questions, then they were definitely an idiot among idiots. Gu Fei almost exploded, but Brother You obviously hadn't made a mistake this time. He quickly added that people like Gu Fei, whose game concepts were different from ordinary players, were not counted.

An idiot among idiots? The two muttered slightly in their hearts and didn't jump to a final conclusion too early; otherwise, they wouldn't have prepared five questions.

"Next," Xi Yao Wu said.

"Olento Olento Olento Olento..." Yin Sha Zhi chanted in his heart.

"How much does the silk wrist guard from the vendor Locke Arman on Huayuanzi Street cost?" Xi Yao Wu asked directly.

"Ah... this... I haven't used this equipment before, I'm not very sure." Sweat was about to break out on Yin Sha Zhi's forehead. He even noticed that the players around him who heard the question were starting to look at him with a strange gaze. It was clearly a gaze of looking at an idiot.

"What are the requirements for the water used to make tea by the lame old man on Mutang Street?" Xi Yao Wu directly asked the third question.

This time, Yin Sha Zhi didn't pretend, didn't act. He suddenly turned around and ran.

But Gu Fei had already prepared when he couldn't answer the first question. Now, there was no chance to escape from Gu Fei's hands. Gu Fei slashed with his sword, and Yin Sha Zhi only felt that his eyes were full of sword light, front, back, left, right, everywhere, and he had no idea where the exit was. In just a moment of hesitation, the sword had already struck him, and his health plummeted. Gu Fei was surprised: "A master."

The thief hadn't been insta-killed; he must be a master. Gu Fei's judgment was swift.

"Let me handle it!!" Xi Yao Wu also liked killing masters; in fact, everyone liked it. The sense of satisfaction was right there!

"Say it faster next time," Gu Fei sighed.

Yin Sha Zhi had already died, dying under Gu Fei's palm, Palm Thunder.

"Damn!" Xi Yao Wu was helpless.

At this time, Gu Fei had already focused his attention on the cluster of people around Yin Sha Zhi after his death.

"Do you know the answers to the questions just now?" Gu Fei smiled brightly. The cluster of people immediately started sweating. Suddenly, they stood up and ran.

Twin Incineration, turning around...

And they weren't masters, so it was a tragedy. They all fell down in an instant. Some Cloud City players nearby were brushed by Gu Fei's sword fire, and their hearts almost jumped out. But Gu Fei's attack was precise; he only insta-killed the group that stood up to run, and the other players were unharmed.

But there was still one survivor. When Gu Fei's sword swept over, he jumped over this person.

Xi Yao Wu thought that was specially left for her and was very touched. Killing people seemed to be this guy's life, right? Now he was actually sharing some with her. Xi Yao Wu was about to step forward to accept it, but Gu Fei stopped her with his arm: "This person looks a bit familiar."

Xi Yao Wu was speechless and tearful, she was just being sentimental.

"What's your name?" Gu Fei asked the person.

The person didn't speak, but his expression was calm, seeming to be completely aware that he was bound to die no matter what.

"Where have I seen you?" Gu Fei tried hard to think and pulled Xi Yao Wu to think with him: "What do you think!"

"I don't know him," Xi Yao Wu said.

"It seems like I don't know him either, but I must have seen him," Gu Fei said.

"Have you killed him before?" Xi Yao Wu asked.

"Oh oh!!" Gu Fei's impression immediately deepened, pointing at the person, but after oh-ing for a long time, he still turned back to Xi Yao Wu and said: "I really can't remember the name. He used to be mixed in with Insanely Supernatural, but he's from the studio, right? What was his name again."

"Remembrance," the person answered helplessly.

"His name is Remembrance, and you still forgot him, that's too ironic, hahaha," Xi Yao Wu laughed.

Gu Fei laughed awkwardly twice and then looked at Remembrance: "Are there any more of your people? It seems like you won't say it, right?" Gu Fei remembered that in the dungeon, it was said that these studio people weren't afraid of death, and there was no point in chasing them.

As expected, Remembrance didn't answer.

Gu Fei was helpless, he had no way to deal with it.

"Kill him?" Xi Yao Wu asked.

"There's no point," Gu Fei repeated the old tune.

"There's no point in killing him or not, but I'm bored," Xi Yao Wu went up and killed the person.

"Too brutal," Gu Fei shook his head repeatedly.

Large groups of Cloud City players around them were crying in their hearts: "Did you see that? Thousand Miles Drunk is saying someone is brutal..."
