Gu Fei was still hesitating for a moment when Royal God call and war without wounds had already stood up. They loved doing things with beautiful women, no matter what they did. The two came over to stop gu fei, Miles, I wont trouble you with such a trivial matter. Killing and robbing is your art. You should stay and continue practicing!
The two of you, get lost.Gu Fei was furious. If Xi Xiaotian were to lie to the entire room, these two men would undoubtedly be the easiest to fool. They would probably lose consciousness if they smiled at them, if they were to follow Xi Xiaotian and see what she did, it would be the same as not following her.
Ill follow and take a look,gu fei turned around and informed everyone before following Xi Xiaotian. Royal God Call and war without wounds continued to tag along. With Gu Fei in the middle, the two figured that it would not be much fun, so they tactfully stayed behind.
Where are we going?Gu Fei asked Xi Xiaotian after they left the house.
To get some custom-made items,Xi Xiaotian said.
What items?
Equipment used for scamming.Xi Xiaotian smiled. Are you disgusted again?
Gu Fei was speechless. How should he put it? This was a skill that he despised, yet they had to resort to this skill at this very moment. He could not help but recall that unbearably vulgar saying that whether a gun was beneficial or harmful depended on who held it in their hands. But was it beneficial or harmful this time? Gu Fei could not say for sure. He had only figured out one thing: it was heroic spirit who had caused trouble for everyone in the first place. There was no room for reasoning in the game, so he could only rely on himself to resolve this matter and return the favor with his own hands. Frankly speaking, Gu Fei was quite fond of this method. It would have been perfect if it had only been a pvp match, but this time, it was a pvp match that was not of much use, which made Gu Fei feel helpless. Xi Xiaotian, on the other hand, seemed to be at ease under such circumstances. Gu Feis displeasure could not help but rise by a few levels.
Lets hurry up and leave!Gu Fei ignored Xi Xiaotian and only urged her to hurry up.
Were still walking!Xi Xiaotian muttered as she led Gu Fei through the streets of Yunduan City. A moment later, they arrived at the old city district of Yunduan City. The Old City district was just like its name. It was shabby and old, and the npcs that were active here were all naked. They looked like refugees who had wandered here. The scenery here was ugly, and the people here were ugly as well. It was the most desolate area in Yunduan city, and it was the place where no players were angry. Other than those who were forced by the quest, no one would ever come here. Gu Fei, who had traveled through the streets of Yunduan City with his Bounty Mission, had never been to this place before. He stared in astonishment at this scene that did not fit the image of Yunduan city in his mind. He almost suspected that he and XI Xiaotian had used a teleportation scroll to switch places.
Where is this?Gu Fei could not help but ask.
Its a broken zone! Youve never been here before?The Old City district was called a broken zone by Yunduan Citys players, and it was very straightforward.
No.Gu Fei looked around.
That only means that youve never done any quests in-game,Xi Xiaotian said. Although the old city zone was not popular, there were still quite a few quests that offered bountiful rewards that would send players to this place. Yet, none of these quests had been completed before… There were only two possibilities for players who were over level 40. First, they were not players from Yunduan City. Second, it was thousand miles drunk.
Gu Fei, who had returned to the old city for the first time, was more or less curious. Not only were the walls broken, but there was also a stench in the air from time to time. The npcs here were all abominable, so no one would feel any pity for them living in such a harsh environment. One had to know that there were quite a few sorrowful npcs in the game that could make people cry. It was precisely because they were all fake that they were designed to play pitiful and sensational games. Would they not have any feelings if they knew that they were fake? Then, television and movies would not be able to trick so many people into laughing and crying.
However, the old city was definitely not a place like this. This place seemed to be designed to make people loathe it; it was really not a place that would make people feel the slightest bit of joy.
What are you doing here? !Gu Fei was done being curious. Just like any other player, he did not have a good impression of this place.
Im looking for someone,Xi Xiaotian said.
A person or an NPC?Gu Fei needed to confirm this. He did not think that anyone would be willing to date someone in such a place.
A person,Xi Xiaotians answer surprised Gu Fei.
Gu Fei did not waste any more time and followed closely behind Xi Xiaotian. They arrived at a dilapidated courtyard whose walls were already charred black. Xi Xiaotian seemed to be very familiar with this place. She walked straight to a spot where a tooth was missing from the wall and stood on her tiptoes to poke her head in. Peng Peng, Im here. Are You There?
Yes,a reply came from the broken courtyard. Xi Xiaotian jumped back and continued to walk to the side. The mud wall in front of them was missing a tooth, so a person stood out and waved at XI Xiaotian.
Han Peng Peng.Xi Xiaotian walked up to him and introduced him to Gu Fei.
Hello,Gu Fei nodded.
Do you recognize this person?Xi Xiaotian asked Han Peng Peng with a smile.
Thousand miles drunk?Han Peng Peng looked at Gu Fei, who was a black-robed mage, and Xi Xiaotian intentionally asked this question, so he was naturally a well-known figure. The well-known black-robed mage could only be an idiot if he did not guess that thousand miles drunk was an idiot.
Come, come in!Han Peng Peng led the two into the dilapidated courtyard.
This… where is this?Gu Fei was puzzled. Could this dilapidated courtyard be considered a real estate? Did It belong to this Han Peng Peng? In a place like this, the land price should be the cheapest in Yunduan City, right?
The houses in the city are too expensive. We cant afford it, so we can only stay in this place. Its quite secluded. Boss Miles, please dont tell anyone about me later!Han Peng Peng said, the last sentence was obviously a joke. It was obvious that he trusted Xi Xiaotian very much, so he started to trust the People XI Xiaotian brought with her.
Upon entering the broken courtyard, Gu Fei immediately saw all sorts of miscellaneous items in the courtyard, including wood chips, shredded paper, and all sorts of weird materials that even Gu Fei did not recognize. Meanwhile, Han Pingpong walked straight toward a huge rock. This huge rock was about half the height of a man and was very flat. There were quite a lot of things piled on top of it, making it look like a table. Halfway through, Han Pingpong seemed to have suddenly recalled something. He suddenly turned around and said, Boss Miles, Ive long heard of your moonlit nightfalls. I wonder if itll be an eye-opener for us?
Sure!Gu Fei took the moonlit nightfalls out of his pocket. Han Peng Peng took a look at it and ran over to the pile of broken wood under the earthen wall. He rummaged through it a few times before running back to Gu Feis side. He held something in his hand and gestured with the moonlit nightfalls, shaking his head, he said, D * mn it. I knew those drawings were unreliable. The difference in size is really too big. Theyre not even the right size!
Gu Fei nearly fainted when he saw this. Han Pengpeng was holding a wooden sword, but it was obvious that it was modeled after his moonlit nightfalls, and it had even been colored. Gu Fei was a little confused at first glance, but when he took a closer look, there were obvious differences in many details, as well as in the size of the sword. This was especially true for the moonlit nightfalls, which was a piece of top-tier equipment, han Pengpengs wooden sword did not even have a shred of that glow.
Han Pengpeng had indeed noticed this problem. He extended his finger and touched the moonlit nightfalls, Ah, this is the glow unique to top-tier equipment, right? This is the first time Ive seen the dark purple glow in it. This is really a challenge.
You… What are you doing?Gu Fei had more or less come to a realization, but he still could not help but ask.
Han Peng did not answer him as he continued to study the moonlit nightfalls in Gu Feis hand. It was only when Gu Fei put the moonlit nightfalls back into his pocket that the man finally stopped looking at him. However, he did not bother answering Gu Feis question, instead, he quickly fished out a book from his bosom and began to write on it while muttering to himself. At that moment, Gu Fei really thought that brother assist had possessed him.
He is?Gu Fei turned his head to look at Xi Xiaotian.
Just as you thought. Hes a fake,Xi Xiaotian said.
F * ck!Gu Fei could not help but blurt out. As a teacher, he would usually try his best to avoid saying such words. As he spoke, he took a look around and realized that this Han bangbang was really skilled. There were quite a few of his works buried in the trash around him. The equipment made from wood actually looked like top-tier equipment, as if it had a halo around it. Players who were familiar with top-tier equipment would be able to tell the difference if they took a closer look, but Gu Fei could not understand how such an effect could be artificially created.
Han Peng Peng finished recording everything in his notebook and moved closer to Gu Fei, Boss Miles, I heard that you have a wanted license? Can You…
No!Gu Feis face darkened. He had unintentionally become a fake accomplice. Gu Fei really wanted to chop this guy up. However, thinking about how Han Pong Pong Pongs craftsmanship had nothing to do with his level, what could he do even if he were to chop him up? Destroy his fake workshop? Gu Fei had this thought again. It was obvious that Han pong pong pong needed to conceal what he was doing, but he could not afford to buy a private residence in the game, so he could only hide in this crappy courtyard in the old city district. Gu Fei did not see any npcs around when he arrived, so it was likely that even quest players would not set foot in this place. Instead, he made this place seem like his private courtyard.
Dont think too much about it,Xi Xiaotian finally walked over and spoke, Bingpeng is just a craftsman. His items are mainly to meet the requirements of people like us. Were the ones who use them on the market to swindle, so it has nothing to do with him. Hes using wood as equipment to play with. This shouldnt be a problem, right?
This…Gu Fei was momentarily at a loss for words. He was a little displeased with this copycat enthusiast in front of him. People loved to make copycat products, but in the end, the copycat products were used by others to swindle others. This was yet another messy debt. Even though it was said that everyone was responsible, it was impossible to stop it. Even if this counterfeit workshop was exposed, it would not prevent Han Peng Peng from switching places to resume his old business. Moreover, this guy seemed to be highly regarded by the scammers. If the scammers were forced to form a joint venture to get him a property, what could they do to him then? In the game simulation, there were many problems. That ye Xiaowu kept saying that his kung fu had destroyed the balance, but what about such a craftsman? A moonlit nightfalls made from a piece of wood could almost pass off as real, so how could this be counted?
Of course, at the very least, he would not be able to produce the stats of the equipment in-game. If the buyer were to seriously appraise the equipment, they would definitely not be fooled. This would depend on XI Xiaotian and the rest of the scammersmethods.
Arent you afraid that Ill expose your methods for bringing me to such a place?Gu Fei glared at Xi Xiaotian.
Expose? Do you really not know, or are you just pretending not to know?. The swindle method of swapping the real thing for the real thing was already considered to be at the Granddaddy level. In the MMO world, it had existed since the day MMO was born. Be careful when you make a trade, look carefully, and be sure. Is this the kind of notification you made after you were exposed? Its such a pity that such a notification has existed for so many years. However, there were still people who fell for such tricks. Even in parallel world, such incidents had long been exposed by others, yet what happened in the end? The business of bumping into each other has actually gotten better… exposing a swindle can sometimes become a teaching material for swindlers. Isnt that awkward?Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei had to admit that what Xi Xiaotian said made some sense. Since someone was doing such a thing, the person who had been exposed to the public must have done it long ago. However, Han bumping pong was still doing very well. He still looked as busy as ever, but it was clear that the public exposure did not have any effect at all. Perhaps, this was something that could only be solved by the games intervention to completely eliminate someone like Han bumping pong from the game.
However… Gu Fei looked at Han Pengpeng. Han Pengpeng was holding the notebook that he had recorded after reading Gu Feis moonlit nightfalls. He was currently brandishing his counterfeit sword as he pondered over it, his face occasionally revealing a puzzled expression. No matter what, that expression of concentration was enough to let one easily see how much he was enjoying himself. Was he conning someone? No, he was not. He liked to imitate others, but this kind of imitation was useless. Who in the game would be willing to buy such a replica for their collection? In the end, his talent was appreciated by scammers with bad motives.
All of a sudden, Gu Fei felt a wave of sorrow, the sorrow of learning nothing. This sorrow was very familiar.
He only wished for an environment where he could use kung fu, while Han Pengpeng probably wished more for the things he loved to be appreciated by others? Was there a need to break it?
Even though Gu Fei had repeatedly warned himself that this was completely different from whether what he had done was right or wrong, Gu Fei kept evading Han Pengpengs focused gaze. He was even restraining himself when he saw Han Pengpengs puzzled expression. He even had the urge to lend moonlit nightfalls to Han Pengpeng so that he could take a good look at it.
Gu Fei even thought of himself. He had unscrupulously used kung fu in the game. Even though he had tried his best to limit it to the Bounty Missionmode, when it came to city wars and mercenary pvp, someone like him.., had also caused a great deal of trouble for others. Even though there was no loss in dying in those mode battles… To be more precise, it was just a loss in pvp battles without losing levels or equipment. In such a competition, death would lose points, and death would lose the chance to win the competition. How could this not be a loss?
Was there any difference between the effects that he had caused and the things that Han Peng Peng had made being used by scammers?
Han Peng Peng had relied on his own skills to create a fake-to-be-real scamming industry. On the other hand, he relied on his own martial arts to often determine the victory of a battle. In fact, most of the time, the players who lost because of him.., not all of them were detestable people. Too many of them were just ordinary players, and there was not much difference between them and their friends around them. There was no good or evil in this world. Everyone was the same; it was just a game..
Hey, what are you thinking about?Xi Xiaotian had just said those words when she went to look for Han Peng to retrieve the item. In the end, when she turned around, Gu Fei was still lost in thought.
Violent Fei also has something on his mind?Xi Xiaotian asked.
Who doesnt?Gu Fei asked.
Whats On Your Mind?
Because its a game, you can do whatever you want. This kind of thinking seems too simple…Gu Fei said.
I know, which is why you didnt do it that casually. You wanted to PK, but youve only been doing bounty quests, havent you?Xi Xiaotian said.
Itd be great if thats all there is to it… but there are too many battles that one cant help but get involved in. Perhaps, I am indeed a destroyer,Gu Fei said.
What do you mean by also?Xi Xiaotian asked.
Arent you?Gu Fei asked.
Alright… Me Too. Im much worse than you,Xi Xiaotian said.
Of course.
I hope you can be modest about it,Xi Xiaotian said.
Theres no need for that in the face of the truth.
Violent Flight!
Liar Tian!
Their eyes met, their gazes met, and they walked closer and closer, slowly… actually, they were mistaken. That was not the case. Cough, that sentence did not exist.
When do I come to pick up the item?Xi Xiaotian turned to ask Han Peng Peng.
This… four hours!Han Peng Peng replied.
Alright, Ill come back in four hours then,Xi Xiaotian said, motioning for Gu Fei to leave.
What exactly do you want from him?Gu Fei asked.
A reporters license,XI Xiaotian answered.
What?
A reporters license.. Youve been interviewed by Dommumudo. It seems that they havent shown it to You Yet? Ive learned that the reporters stationed in games on major websites actually have a reporters license, and this thing is compiled through the game-side system. It has a number on it, and its very useful. On some special occasions, you can even apply for PK protection with a certificate. Its just that interviewing private players in the game, such as you, may not be too guarded, so its not necessary to show a reporters license to prove your identity, so many players dont know about this. In reality, however, this was the only proof of parallel worlds online reporters. As a workshop, indomitable spirit should know about the existence of a reporters ID. Furthermore, they would not overlook this detail that most ordinary players did not care about. Its easy to get away with being a reporters ID,Xi Xiaotian said.
That cant be, right? Since its something given by the system, its very easy to see through it if youre more careful,Gu Fei said.
At least we should see the effect of the real reporter card before making a conclusion,Xi Xiaotian said.
Where can I find it?
Come on, you borrow more wood wood to see not to go?Xi Xiaotian said.
But whats the use?Gu Fei did not understand.
Soon you will understand.Xi Xiaotian Smile.
