Virtual World: Close Combat Mage
chapter-891

“He went to Yueye City to take a bath,”sword demon replied to oathless sword.

“Alright, let’s end this meaningless exchange of pleasantries. Let’s talk,”young master Han hurriedly interrupted when he saw that oathless sword had the intention to continue this topic. After realizing that thousand miles drunk was almost undefeatable, the players from Yunduan City cleverly chose to express their goodwill to him. Oathless sword had also unknowingly taken this path. He felt that his relationship with thousand miles drunk seemed to be quite good, but he still needed to further strengthen it! Even if they had to discuss more about this person, it was fine. Oathless sword was very depressed when he was rudely cut off by young master Han, but he could only endure it.

“It’s like this.”oathless sword finally began to get down to business, “Brother sword demon should have told us if someone came to cause trouble! The players from the outer city are bullying our Yunduan City, so we must teach them a lesson together!”

“Oh?”Sword Demon was surprised, young master Han was surprised, and brother assist was also surprised. The players in the game might have a sense of regional honor, but it would not be that strong. Defiant sword was currently trending on the forums, and anyone could guess that it had something to do with singular studios. This had nothing to do with the players from other cities bullying them. Oathless sword waved the flag in an attempt to stand out, and this kindness surprised them.

Although these guilds seemed to be on good terms with defiant sword, sword demon, Young Master Han, Brother Assist, and the others were well aware that they were still playing the role of villains in Yunduan City. Oathless sword must have been secretly laughing behind their backs after what had happened. It was already considered good enough that he did not take advantage of the situation, yet he actually came out to support them. Could it be that this fellow had really changed his character and was truly considering heaven-defying as a friend from the bottom of his heart?

Or perhaps... young master Han cast a glance at Gu Xiaoshang, who was standing at the side. He was more convinced that this woman had come out to support them, but Gu Xiaoshang did not have a deep relationship with them, so she might not avoid asking for her help, but she did not seem to be so enthusiastic about taking the initiative to intervene. Moreover, if she wanted to help, she would help, and she even dragged oathless sword along. This was not her style. Young Master Han shook his head, rejecting this judgment. Gu Xiaoshang had been dragged here by oathless sword in the name of helping them, so this was more plausible. So, oathless sword was still in charge of this matter. What was this guy up to?

“What’s the background of the other party?”Oathless sword asked.

“That, we can’t be sure yet.”Sword Demon was an honest man. Although there was no one other than singular that could possibly come from the outer city to cause trouble for them, there was still no clear evidence that this group of people had been brought here by singular, hence, he spoke cautiously.

“I think that singular studios is taking revenge on all of you, right?”oathless sword came to a conclusion for them.

“I really can’t think of any other possibility besides that,”sword demon said truthfully.

“If that’s the case, even though they managed to force their way back this time, I’m afraid that the other side won’t give up just like that and will make a comeback!”oathless sword said.

“Probably!”Sword Demon answered.

“HMPH! We’ll just wait for them to come back.”Oathless sword slammed his fist on the table.

Sword Demon silently stared at him for a moment before asking, “Why did guild leader Oathless invite me here?”

Oathless sword looked at sword demon in surprise. “The people from the outer city are bullying our Yunduan City’s players. As the largest guild in Yunduan City, how can we, traversing four seas, just sit back and do nothing? Isn’t that why we’ve invited Little Shang along? “Don’t worry, Boss Sword Demon. We’ll support you to the end.”

“This... I don’t dare to trouble everyone, right?”Sword Demon had actually heard oathless sword’s meaning a long time ago. What he was actually puzzled about was why oathless sword would be so enthusiastic. This was simply too puzzling.

“What trouble? Isn’t it a little too polite to say that? !”oathless sword said. “My Guild has already mobilized. What’s the current situation?”

“What the hell is this guy up to?”Brother assist muttered in the mercenary channel. Anyone who saw oathless sword’s enthusiasm would feel that something was amiss. They were not in Rainbow Cloud, after all. They had a pretty guild leader that oathless sword would do anything to curry favor with.

“Of course he’s not trying to curry favor with us. It’s still a little too early for him to show his goodwill to us,”young master Han said.

“Mm. What do you mean?”

“It’s a little like sending charcoal in a snowstorm, but adding icing on the cake is probably his style,”young master Han said.

“That makes sense.”Brother assist nodded. oathless sword might look like a thick-skinned fellow, but he was actually quite shrewd! It was impossible to lead such a large guild just by being thick-skinned.

“Why aren’t the few of you saying anything?”Oathless sword asked.

“It’s hard to describe the current situation. “We don’t know what the other side’s next move is either. Even if it’s the first wave, there might still be a portion of their members remaining in Yunduan City, and they might ambush us at any time,”young master Han suddenly said.

“Oh? There are still people around? What are their characteristics?”Oathless sword asked.

“I’m not sure,”young master Han replied.

“Then, it’ll be very difficult to find them,”oathless sword said, a little disappointed.

“The opponents are all quite powerful. Among the members we killed in the first wave, eight of them are likely to be experts ranked in the top thirty of the various job rankings,”young master Han said.

“HMPH. The stronger the opponent, the more excited I’ll be.”

”...”everyone nearly vomited. Gu Xiaoshang had already slammed the table and stood up, but she still turned to look at sword demon and the others. “If there’s anything you need, feel free to let us know.”

Young Master Han nodded his head. In his opinion, Gu Xiaoshang’s attitude was the more normal one. Oathless sword had gone a little overboard with his eagerness! However, young master Han felt that he had more or less figured out this fellow’s train of thought as he probed them step by step.

“Even these eight people are from insufficient main city. We’ll be facing all sorts of experts from all over the game world this time,”young master Han said.

“What an honor!”Oathless Sword’s act of pretentiousness had no end.

“Then, given the current situation, what will guild leader Oathless Do?”Young Master Han suddenly changed the topic.

“We’ll make our move by staying still and responding to any changes. Keep a lookout in the city and pay attention to the actions of this group of players,”oathless sword said.

“Especially those with gorgeous equipment. We must pay more attention to them. Actually, we’re all very clear about the experts in Yunduan city that can make people’s eyes shine, and most of them are already familiar with them,”young master Han said.

“That’s right, that’s right.”oathless sword nodded his head repeatedly.

“There might be someone like that among the group of people who have yet to leave,”young master Han said.

“I’ll get someone to keep an eye out for them,”oathless sword said.

“Thank you, Guild Leader Oathless, for your help,”young master Han said.

“That’s not necessary. It’s what I should do!”Oathless sword waved his hand grandly.

“What do you mean? You’re just going to accept this guy?”Brother assist asked in the channel.

“There’s no reason to reject him! Besides, you can’t reject him either,”young master Han said.

“Have you seen through his intentions?”Brother assist asked.

“Oathless sword... seems to be very interested in experts.”Sword demon carefully observed the excitement in oathless sword’s words.

“Could it be that he really has miles as his idol?”Brother assist wondered. It had always been Gu Fei’s style to be very interested in experts.

“What he’s interested in is probably the equipment of experts,”young master Han said.

“Oh?”Brother assist was taken aback.

“Many bosses with top-tier equipment have suddenly come running here. Are you tempted?”Young Master Han asked.

“This guy... is really too evil,”brother assist lamented. Oathless sword had actually treated these experts who came looking for trouble as bosses who dropped top-tier equipment, with this thought, it was entirely possible to explain why this guy was so enthusiastic, and even had the confidence to get the entire guild to actively participate. In-game, the Guild Leader’s control over the guild was actually quite ordinary. There were many reasons why the guild members could come together to achieve something, but the guild leader’s orders were definitely not an effective motivator, however, the benefits of obtaining top-tier equipment was definitely one of them.

“Did miles get anything out of that bunch of people?”Young Master Han suddenly asked.

“Nothing too good,”sword demon answered. The equipment of experts of their level was already considered top-tier in the game, and ordinary top-tier equipment would not be too eye-catching.

“The good ones didn’t drop,”brother assist hinted.

Sword demon nodded his head. He was currently at a low level, so he was definitely incapable of appraising a top-30 expert of this level. However, with sword demon’s experience, there were some things that did not require appraising, and he could determine what they were with his naked eye. Based on the speed, strength, and defense that this person displayed, the situation that he deduced was not much different from appraising. It might even surpass the appraisal skill. The appraisal skill was often questionable.

“Is oathless sword really going to let him do as he pleases?”Brother assist asked.

“If this continues, things will only get worse.”Sword demon frowned. Losing a level or equipment, what loss could be more hateful than this in-game? The players who had suffered such a blow would definitely not quietly endure it. The more expert they were, the more they wanted to get back at him. With this endless cycle, coupled with the unclean nature of online games, there was no need for their descendants to seek revenge.

“That’s right. The guild will be more lively than ever before,”young master Han said.

While the few of them were communicating in the guild channel, oathless sword seemed to have made some arrangements in the guild as well, after that, he returned to the group and said, “Then, everyone, let me know if there’s any new developments. We, the players of Yunduan City, can not be easily bullied by others.”

“Mm,”sword demon replied, his voice containing a lot of helplessness. He did not want to involve too many people, but he knew that this was something he could not control. This was because no one could dispel the players’drive to hunt bosses and strive for top-tier equipment. Even though they were treating the other players as bosses this time, this was how it was in MMOS. Even though people despised the way southern lone blade and the others had killed people for no reason, with a reasonable conflict as an excuse.., killing people to obtain equipment was something that every player acknowledged, and Sword Demon was no exception.

“Then, we’ll take our leave first. We’ll definitely contact each other if there’s anything,”oathless sword repeatedly reminded them, as if he was afraid that they would not be able to share a spoonful of the loot from killing the BOSS in such a heaven-defying manner.

“Has this guy really figured out what’s going on?”Brother assist did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“A strong dragon can’t suppress a local snake. Those guys don’t know what’s going on, so if they attack again, I think oathless sword and the others will really get quite a bit of loot,”young master Han said.

“Then, what about after that?”Sword Demon asked.

“After that...”young master Han did not say anything.

It was as heaven-defying as they had expected; the big shots had indeed not all returned. Those who had not returned were naturally the half of the people they had brought with them. They had run off to set up an ambush, but who would have thought that the target thousand miles drunk was chasing was actually their team. The movement speed of the team was unable to lure thousand miles drunk into an ambush. This ambush could only become a joke. And with the addition of their half of the team, it did not seem like they could stop thousand miles drunk’s strength. So, they simply did not come back to reinforce them again. After reading wind and Frost and the others teleported and retreated, the next time they came back, they completely scattered the four teams.

First, they did not gather together to attract attention. Second, they began to carry out their next plan: fully understand thousand miles drunk’s strength.

Other than the big shots from the four teams who went offline to participate in the negotiation meeting, the remaining players were currently hanging around Yunduan City’s taverns, auction houses, trade streets, leveling areas, and other people. Every time they met someone, they would bring up the topic of thousand miles drunk, with this information, they were able to gather a lot of information.

Meanwhile, in the offline discussion group negotiation meeting, they had also made some progress. After a detailed analysis of the process of fighting thousand miles drunk, read the wind and frost suddenly thought of a detail.

“Thousand miles drunk did not use appraisal before he fought with me,”read the wind and Frost said.

“Oh?”Everyone was surprised. This was an incomprehensible behavior among experts. As the saying went, if you know yourself and know your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles! Understand the equipment of the other side, you can judge the other side’s attack, defense, speed and other attributes, if you find the equipment contains skills then it is easier to defend.

“Maybe he’s too strong...”said read. “It doesn’t matter to him what he knows about his equipment.”

“Isn’t it a bit hasty to draw such a conclusion just based on a PK between you and him? Maybe he just forgot at the time, not his fighting habits?”Someone wondered.

“Using appraisal to identify an opponent is a combat habit in itself. Which one of you can forget about this before a PK? If you forgot about it, then it means that he doesn’t have this habit,”read the wind and Frost said.

“That makes sense.”Someone agreed.

“No appraisal? Then it’s a miracle that he’s still alive. He met someone with reflexive damage, and that kind of high damage didn’t kill him,”someone said.

The discussion group instantly fell silent. So the method to deal with thousand miles drunk had appeared so casually?

“Reflective damage... very few people would use such equipment, right?”Someone said.

“It’s definitely not possible to do it alone. It’s a waste of time and money to buy food after a few hits.”Someone said.

“It’s not bad to fight a BOSS. A high HP piercing reflection and a bunch of clerics healing him.”

“The priest will be gorgeous OT, no doubt.”

“What a loser that no one would choose to attribute?”

“But at a time like this, it can come in handy.”

“Let’s Do It?”Someone suggested.
