Chapter 287 Battle for the Cape 30

Chapter 287 Battle for the Cape 30

"That is the first time I've heard of a philosophy like that." Feng Bujue's reaction was similar to Shiva's.

"You can understand that as this." Seven Kills smiled. "For me, the method of winning is more important than winning itself."

"You have to make the enemy accept the loss fair and square?" Feng Bujue said.

"I only care about me. Whether the enemy accept it is not my business," Seven Kills replied.

"Even so, this is just a game. Why put such a heavy requirement on yourself?"

"No, this is very important," Seven Kills said severely. "In the real world, to achieve their goal, people have no bottom line, tricking the kind and being scared of the evil, laughing at the poor but not at the wicked.

"But at this place, everything is simpler. One's belief can be pursued with one's fists and have those wicked people lose until they have no face."

"No wonder you are only ranked fifteen on the ranking," Feng Bujue commented. "That principle places you in plenty of bad situations, right?"

"Humph… Perhaps to you, this is idiocy," Seven Kills said.

"No, I admire people with principles," Feng Bujue said with a smile. "As much as I don't agree with it, idiotic is more suitable to use on those who have been brainwashed by other's principles."

"Ha!" Seven Kills laughed. He did not continue this but changed the subject. "By the way, I remembered this on the way to the Batcave. Feng Bujue, you are Long Aomin's friend, yes?"

"Yes," Feng Bujue answered. He was not surprised that Seven Kills would name Brother Long's ID because Brother Long had once said that the guild he joined was with all his colleagues, so it was normal for them to know each other.

"So… is your company actually a gaming studio?" Feng Bujue asked.

Seven Kills was startled. This was the first time he had received that question. Blade Edge was not ranked second on the guild ranking, and it was not open to public players. So, most players would believe they come from a professional gaming studio. This was something everyone perceived, and no one had asked about it.

"Ah… ah." The second ah was more stressed than the first. "Yes, yes. Of course we are a studio."

Because he did not know what Brother Long had told Feng Bujue, Seven Kills could only follow what Feng Bujue said. After all, he could not honestly say that they were a unit assigned by the police force to monitor the game.

After I leave the scenario, I'd better go report this problem so that we can come up with a believable answer next time, Seven Kills thought to himself.

Since Seven Kills was wearing the Batmask, Feng Bujue could not read the man's expression, so when he heard the halted tone, combined that with the previous performance from Long Aomin, he figured, The people from their studio seem to look down on professional players… and they don't wish to bring up their own occupation. Looks like I'd better change the subject.

"Er… that…" Feng Bujue said. "Did you only get the Batsuit and some other equipment from the Batcave?"

"Yes, I couldn't carry the other stuff anyway," Seven Kills admitted.

"You didn't see the Batmobile, Batcopter, Batplane, Batboat, Batcycle, or any vehicles like that?"

"I did, but I don't how to operate any of them."

"Sigh… such a waste." Feng Bujue poked his hands into his pocket and paced around. "If it was me, I would have placed everything I could in the Batplane and then patrolled the sky. After confirming your location, I'd set it to autopilot and then jump down with the parachute, using the fuel air bomb to level all of you."

"So, that was your original plan?" Seven Kills said. "Hmm… it would have worked."

"Unfortunately, it won't work now," Feng Bujue said. "You and Shiva moved faster than I predicted. And… did the two of you form some kind of truce to deal with me first?"

Seven Kills was stunned, but he quickly laughed.

"Hahaha…" Shaking his head, he sighed helplessly. "Impressive, mighty impressive."

"You flatter me…" What Feng Bujue said formed a contrast to the prideful look on his face.

"Since the start of the scenario, no one would have expected that the player who appeared to be the weakest would be able to deal with the most troublesome King of Shadows," Shiva said. "And no one would have expected that you would be able to defeat the ranked second Shiva on your own. After this battle, you will be famous overnight, right?"

"Hahaha… That might not be true," Feng Bujue said. "Shiva and King of Shadows won't go broadcasting their losses, right? The only ones who know will be you and me. If neither of us say anything, nothing will change."

"Oh?" Seven Kills was confused. "I have no need to be your speaker, but why wouldn't you gloat on the forums?"

Indeed, normally, if a not-so-famous player managed to kill a top player in-game, they would want the whole world to find out.

"Because I like to keep a low profile," Feng Bujue said calmly.

"Ha…" Seven Kills guffawed. "You are one hard person to read…"

"The same can be said for you," Feng Bujue said. "This is the first time I've encountered someone with a philosophy like yours."

Seven Kills gave a long sigh. "After chatting for so long, counting the period where you were on the escape, your Life Points and Stamina Points should have recovered, right?"

"Not yet." Feng Bujue looked at the menu. His Life Points was at fifty-one percent, and his Stamina Points were at 342/2800. "But… it is enough for a one on one match."

"Are you sure?" Seven Kills added. "The Batsuit I have on is legendary level, and the quality…"

Suddenly, Feng Bujue interrupted him. "Remove your cape."

"The cape?" Seven Kills turned around to see. "Oh… I didn't realize I took this with me until I left the Batcave." At the time, after he put on the Batsuit, he was shocked by the properties, and he was distracted, so when he took the cape, he merely took the first one in the glass closet.

"A broken Batcape will not turn into Batwings after being charged. Even the fire defense is greatly reduced," Feng Bujue said. "I believe removing this cape won't affect you too much."

"Hmm… Indeed, it won't." Seven Kills smiled as he removed the cape, and he tossed it toward Feng Bujue, as the cape danced on the wind. "There is no property to this equipment. I put it on to maintain the overall image of Batman. If you wish for a more even fight, then I can remove the helmet…"

"There's no need," Feng Bujue said as he accepted the cape and studied the item.

After reading that, he silently put it inside his inventory before lifting his head to say, "Then… let's get started."
