Virtual World: Close Combat Mage
chapter-814

Yunduan city was in utter chaos!

The guilds were fighting their own battles, so they could no longer tell who was friend and who was foe. Gu Fei, the bounty hunter, stepped in once more among the various factions. Although the new teleportation function of windchaser’s emblem was extremely random, its efficiency was still very obvious. This meant that no matter how they followed him, they would definitely follow him closer. These words were not empty; even if they followed him from the inside to the outside of the house, they would still be considered to be a few steps closer!

This shadow suddenly appeared above the heads of Yunduan City’s players. Other than priests, all the other professional players were worried about their own safety. At this point in the battle, who would not have PK points? Especially when they realized that thousand miles drunk was a wanted target and that the more PK points he had, the more priority he would have. The players who were originally proud of killing as many people as possible in the guild were all panicking. The guild leaders were also very helpless. They could only console everyone by saying, “It’s a good thing we’re only going to jail.”. However, it wasn’t as if there weren’t any players who had PK points above 20. Even if they went to jail, their levels would drop. They wanted to wash their hands of this, but when they heard that the Wanted Quest office was thousand miles drunk’s most important place to take care of, a bunch of people gave up on this idea.

As a result, some players were already thinking about whether or not they should leave this sad place far away. It was too slow to walk along the Oolong mountain range, so they might be able to catch up to thousand miles drunk in no time. Thus, everyone thought of teleportation scrolls. In order to save their lives, there was no time to save money, so the market for teleportation scrolls in Yunduan city instantly exploded. However, how could they possibly get their hands on teleportation scrolls at this point in time? At the very least, there was no such thing in the auction house, so young master Han would have already cleared out that place long ago. Thus, he had no choice but to look for a workshop that had stock in hand. Due to young master Han’s several large-scale purchases, the workshop had already begun to pay attention to the demand for teleportation scrolls. Coupled with the fact that they were short on stock, so many people had come to buy them, the price had skyrocketed, so ordinary players could not afford it at all. They could only beat their chests and stomp their feet as they waited for their deaths.

At this moment, it was young master Han who had saved quite a few players. “Can you be a little more direct with your quest? Don’t kill randomly.”

“What do you mean?”Gu Fei was killing with gusto.

“You have to let the players know that you can kill some of the guild members and not others. Only then will there be people who will join us in the battle. If you continue killing recklessly, you’ll force the entire city’s players to form an alliance to deal with us. How many idiots have worked together to create this current situation? It’s not easy. Don’t destroy it!”

Gu Fei nodded his head, “What you said makes sense!”

“Nonsense.”

“Then, what should we kill and not kill?”Gu Fei asked.

“If you can’t tell the difference, then don’t kill them all,”young master Han said.

“I’ll try my best,”Gu Fei said before looking for drifting. He sent a message to him and replied, “Hello.”Drifting quickly replied, “The user you’re calling is never here. Please never call again.”

Gu Fei was depressed. He knew that this guy had gone crazy in the information room and had already refused to cooperate with him. However, without the information he provided, he would not be able to clearly identify the guild of the target player for the quest, right now, players no longer wore guild badges. Could he just ask? Would this guy tell the truth?

Gu Fei smacked his head at the thought. Regardless of whether he told the truth or not, all he wanted was for everyone to understand that there were some guilds that he did not kill, and that was all he needed to achieve.

With this thought in mind, Gu Fei once again activated his guild emblem and flew into the sky. His luck this time was pretty good. The target he wanted to kill was right in front of him, and the number of the players that were with him as well as the opponents they were currently fighting had been displayed. This was one of the obvious characteristics of Yunduan City’s current state of Chaos: almost everyone had PK points. This was a huge advantage for Gu Fei. He flew over to a set of coordinates and frequently found several targets at the same time. Gu Fei considered whether or not he could head back to the bounty assignment hall and complete all the quests in Yunduan city. That way, he might not even need to look for them anymore, and everyone on the streets would be targets he could kill.

As he thought about this, he rushed forward and shouted, “Bounty assignment!”Gu Fei omitted the phrase, “If you’re fine, Dodge!”Because the people in front of him were all numbered, and they were all his quests, this meant that these two were probably elite squads, and each of them was an expert who had a few pvp points in their hands.

“Which guild are you from?”Gu Fei used a new phrase.

The two squads were already panicking when they saw Gu Fei, but when they heard him ask about guilds, they were stunned. One of the men on the left stood up, his face covered in sweat and mud. He did not know how this pvp was done, so he nodded his head at Gu Fei and said, “Brother Miles, it’s us, Carouse.”

Gu Fei did not really know the character of Fan Ling, but he was one of the people he had killed before. When he heard that it was carouse, Gu Fei nodded his head, “Oh, you guys can leave then. I’m here for the Quest.”

Carouse and his men were overjoyed. So thousand miles drunk did not kill them? But he seemed to have sent someone from a guild to prison. What was going on? It was probably some sort of misunderstanding. A few of them hurriedly stepped aside and gestured to Gu Fei, “Please, Please, please.”Their eyes were filled with schadenfreude as they looked at their opponents.

“Which guild are you guys from?”Gu Fei turned his head to look at Carouse’s opponents.

These guys had clearly lost their composure. They actually dared to say in front of carouse’s players, “We’re the ones who are against carouse; they’re fakes.”

“F * ck!”Fan Ling was furious. He took out his badge on the spot and proudly put it on, “Do you guys have it?”The others followed suit and put it on as well, demonstrating to the players across from him, “Do you guys have it?”

Gu Fei nodded his head, “It’s good to wear it. It’s easy to recognize people.”

Fan Ling and the others were touched! It was indeed a misunderstanding earlier. If he had worn his badge, thousand miles drunk would have long since stopped attacking them. Guild leader, OH, Guild leader, you’ve miscalculated this time. Actually, when Carouse’s men were wanted, someone had already asked the guild leader if he was not on their side and would be killed by thousand miles drunk no matter what.

Brave surge had unexpectedly understood Gu Fei back then. That situation had already escalated into a fight between the various guilds. would thousand miles drunk still care about his side or his side? That person had always been a heartless person. When brave surge recalled the two sentences that thousand miles drunk had nonchalantly thrown at him when he was trapped at the spawn point to gain sympathy, the taste of the quick-acting heart-saving pill lingered in his mouth.

When brave surge received fan Ling’s message, he was also pleasantly surprised. It turned out that thousand miles drunk had not forgotten about them! Brave Surge was touched and hurriedly sent Gu Fei a message to express his concern. Gu Fei was currently busy, so the group of people who did not have badges wanted to pretend to be him, so Gu Fei naturally did not hold back. The other party did not resist and split up to escape. Fan Ling and the others really wanted to stop them, but they were afraid that stealing the target would anger thousand miles drunk, so they could only watch in a daze. In the end, they saw an unbelievable scene. They saw thousand miles drunk catch up to a target, kill it, then teleport, chase after the next target, kill it, and teleport again..

Moreover, there was no pattern to the distance of teleportation. Sometimes, he would directly move in front of the target to block it, and sometimes, he would actually only move a few steps away. The last time, the target had already scattered and disappeared, everyone thought that thousand miles drunk would stop and greet them, but who would have thought that with a flash of white light, thousand miles drunk would also disappear.

Fan Ling and the others did not have enough time to think. All they could think about was Gu Fei’s flickering figure. One moment he was at the corner of the street, the next he was at the corner. It was truly strange. Fan Ling was stunned for a long while before he sent another message to brave surge, “Thousand miles drunk seems to have gained another new skill.”

“What skill?”Brave surge asked.

“I’m not sure. It seems to be a teleportation skill, but it seems to be random. It’s not controlled by humans.”Fan Ling was indeed an expert. Looking at Gu Fei’s strange teleportation skill, he concluded with the word ‘random’.

“Random...”brave surge only knew that the task of killing thousand miles drunk was getting more and more difficult. He even had a style that even he himself did not know what his next move would be.

“No matter what, he’s not targeting us right now. That’s great,”Fan Ling said happily.

“That’s for sure,”brave surge nodded his head and quickly informed the entire guild. As long as he encountered thousand miles drunk, he would quickly reveal his identity and show his guild emblem.

This kind of news always spread very quickly. Not long after, many players found out that thousand miles drunk had a special amnesty for carouse. This made the players jealous, and they became even more motivated to murder Carouse’s players.

Only then did brave surge realize that it was quite stressful to be allies with thousand miles drunk. Thus, a very strange scene occurred. When they met thousand miles drunk, all the players would immediately say that they were Carouse’s people. And when they encountered other opponents, all the players would shake their heads and say that they were definitely not carouse’s men.

Of course, it was not easy to say that. Saying that they were, however, required the emblem to prove it. There were some players who wanted to use their guild’s emblem to fool Gu Fei, and if they were to challenge Gu Fei’s gaze, their outcome would naturally be very miserable.

Oathless sword felt a little sour when he received this news. Brave Surge had taken the initiative to express his goodwill to thousand miles drunk, but in the end, he was pardoned just like that. As for his own guild, more than twenty of them had been sent to the dungeon by thousand miles drunk, and all of them were experts.

Oathless sword was currently feeling depressed! However, there was some good news. A guild member who had honestly revealed his guild to thousand miles drunk was pardoned as well.

“So we’re not going to get killed as well?”oathless sword was excited, so he naturally took the initiative to send a message to Gu Fei to express his goodwill.

After that, Gu Fei also let cloud herder off. At this time, foe-herder’s black index finger was as clear as a mirror. In the end, thousand miles drunk did not lose his head from the killing and was still targeting them ruthlessly..

On Gu Fei’s side, he felt a heartache for letting three large guilds off the hook. One had to know how many experts there were in a large guild, so it was only natural for them to be targets with high PK value. Now, all they could do was watch and not kill. What a pity!

However, Gu Fei understood the situation. His quest needed to have a direction, and he needed to let others see the pertinence of his quest. This was what young master Han meant by a direction. Under such circumstances.., it was clear at a glance that the Cloud Herder Guild and the Black Alliance were among the five large guilds.

Carouse, traversing four seas, and Rainbow Cloud, as well as their allies, were now more confident than ever. They all felt as if there was a powerful figure guarding them from behind. However, brave surge quickly felt awkward, even though they were now in such a mess that they could not tell who was who, however, they were actually fighting carouse together with cloud herder and Black Alliance to attack traversing four seas. At the very least, that was their strategic thinking..

“Thousand miles drunk might not know about this yet, but if he does...”brave surge grew nervous. It was very likely that he would be in deep trouble if he took this step, so he resolutely went to negotiate with oathless sword, he expressed that he would join forces with Cloud Herder and the Black Alliance to wage war against them.

Oathless sword was a little confused. His original intention was to watch the show from the sidelines, but in the end, it was brave surge who joined forces with the Black Alliance to wage war against them and dragged him into it. His aggro was mainly focused on carouse, but now, the target of his aggro had suddenly said that he wanted to fight alongside him to wipe out cloud herder and the Black Alliance, oathless sword was puzzled as he replied to brave surge’s message, “Why should I fight with them?”

“They started the war first...”brave surge replied.

“Weren’t you the one who started it?”Oathless sword asked.

Brave surge was startled. That’s right! How could he have forgotten that oathless sword’s opponent was actually him? Now that he wanted to make peace with him, wouldn’t he have to withdraw from the battle? Wouldn’t that return to how things were then? He would definitely not allow traversing four seas to watch the show while he and the other two factions were locked in a battle.

“How did things get so complicated?”Brave Surge’s head was aching. He felt that thousand miles drunk might as well not grant them a pardon, causing him to be in a dilemma.

Actually, Gu Fei thought that brave surge was currently fighting foe-herder, black index finger, and the others in a fit of rage because he had been killed for breaking into a prison cell. Their guilds kept each other in check; sometimes, they would ally with each other, and sometimes, they would start a war with each other, sometimes, they would intentionally drag this down with them, and other times, they would beat a dog that had fallen into the water with a stick. He did not think too much about it. Gu Fei was certain that black index finger and enemies of cloud herder were opponents. As for the trivial matter between brave surge and oathless sword, Gu Fei did not even think about it.

At this moment, Gu Fei continued to work hard on his quest, sparing the three large guilds. Having lost so many targets, Gu Fei was diligently trying to make up for it in other places. If he encountered a target, he would ask the guilds as usual. Those with the three badges would be spared or not killed. However, there were some small and medium-sized guilds that were allied with these three guilds, so they assumed that they would not be killed as well. They confidently reported their names, showed their badges, and were then killed, they even wondered what kind of misunderstanding this was. In the end, after being killed a few more times, they realized that this did not seem to be a misunderstanding. It was likely that thousand miles drunk did not even know of their existence! Thus, they quickly contacted their guild leader to inform thousand miles drunk.

Thus, oathless sword and the others informed Gu Fei, one guild at a time, one guild at a time, to ask him to be lenient. Gu Fei was in a difficult position, “I’ve memorized the names, but I don’t recognize the badges! How can I differentiate them if I encounter them?”

“It’s alright. We’ll get to know each other slowly...”the guild leaders said. They realized that they were asking Gu Fei to recognize nearly three-fifths of the guild badges in Yunduan City, which was truly a bit difficult.

Thus, Gu Fei used the spirit of ‘slowly getting to know each other’to familiarize himself with the badges of the various guilds while he killed them. At this moment, foe-herder and the others had already taken care of the situation. Their large guilds might not be able to survive, but small and medium-sized guilds.., they hoped to use brave surge to protect them.

Brave surge was already feeling uneasy about cooperating with them, so why would he help them trick Gu Fei Now? He was naturally just playing dumb. Foe-herder and the others were furious, and they suddenly turned their guns toward carouse. Carouse was instantly caught in the middle, and he was attacked from both sides. Brave surge was flabbergasted. This time, he stood at the top of the wall and made a fool of himself. He stood right in the middle of the wall, yet both sides shouted for him to be attacked, yet he actually had nowhere to fall... This was the tragedy of being a fence-sitter.

Brave surge was at his wit’s end. If they continued to fight like this, carouse would actually be the first to be finished. Helpless, Gu Fei became his last straw of hope, and he hurriedly called for help from Gu Fei, saying that he could not hold on any longer.

“If you can’t hold on any longer, then run! Run to the spawn point or the other main cities,”Gu Fei said.

“Help us!”Brave surge wailed.

“I’ve been killing all this time, and I haven’t stopped,”Gu Fei said. This was the absolute truth.

“I know, but right now...”when brave surge thought about how he had been sandwiched between two factions, he found himself unable to explain himself to thousand miles drunk. He, who had always been eloquent, was at a loss for words. Of course, thousand miles drunk would not help him talk to foe-herder and the others, so he hoped that it would only be on oathless sword’s side. However, if thousand miles drunk were to ask, “Why did you fight with Oathless Sword?”Brave surge would not be able to answer that question..

Gu Fei did not pay too much attention to brave surge’s sudden silence as he continued his quest. After exterminating another group of players, he suddenly felt something strange beside him, and a hand actually grabbed his arm.

Gu Fei was shocked. To be able to reach his side without him noticing and even grab him, this was definitely not something that an ordinary player could do. What sort of strange skill was this?

Gu Fei could no longer think about it. The natural reaction brought about by practicing martial arts had already caused him to react in order to extricate himself from this situation. He lowered his body and raised moonlit nightfalls with his other hand, slashing out at a tricky angle, the in-game skill twin incineration naturally could not be missed.

Gu Fei was confident that no one would be able to dodge this sword strike, and his guess was not wrong. The person behind him was completely unprepared and unresponsive to this sword strike, yet this sword strike actually passed right through his opponent’s body without any hindrance.

Gu Fei was stunned. What was this? Was this an illusion skill? He thought of Drifting’s ‘Ice Shadow Spell’, but drifting’s skill would cause his fantasy to dissipate after being attacked. That was not the case..

Just as he was about to give it another try, this person suddenly spoke up, “You can’t Kill Anymore!”

“What?”Gu Fei was stunned.

That person had a wry smile on his face, “You can’t continue the quest anymore. Yunduan City’s dungeon is about to be filled to the brim by you. What will happen when it’s full? The system doesn’t have a way to deal with that.”

“Who are you?”Gu Fei was at a loss.

“Gm...”said the other.
