Chapter 159 - The Remaining Five
“Pandora’s Chest? Don’t you an Pandora’s Box1?” Svelte Dancer still had the mind to correct Gu Fei at such a critical mont.
“See you at the teleportation array!” Young Master Han cheerfully waved at Gu Fei.
“See you there...” As Gu Fei helplessly nodded his head to Young Master Han, Svelte Dancer suddenly shouted, “Got it!”
“Got what?” Gu Fei asked.
The fla wheels in the sky had already ford up and the raging infernos on the ground had beco hotter. There was no ti to explain, so Svelte Dancer pounced directly onto Gu Fei and landed on his back.
“What are you doing?!” Gu Fei struggled to take her weight in.
Svelte Dancer had taken out an item from her dinsional pocket mid-flight that caused the wind to stir. Gu Fei did not clearly see what it was, only that it glowed white as it began to quickly envelop them.
“A portable teleportation array?! What the f*ck!” Young Master Han was indeed an experienced gar as he was able to recognize the item for what it was with a glance. A teleportation array did not differentiate between its users and would affect all who entered its boundary. With Gu Fei and Svelte Dancer now inside the teleportation array, Young Master Han would naturally have to suffer the spell bombardnt alone. He could of course not accept such a developnt and imdiately darted over, trying to enter the teleportation array as well.
“Oh, you don’t have to be so polite. There is really no need to send us off!” Gu Fei smilingly said as he lifted his leg and kicked Young Master Han away.
Young Master Han was truly no match for Gu Fei when it ca to hand-to-hand combat, so he was unable to dodge the latter’s kick and was forcibly sent backpedaling for quite a few steps. Regaining his balance and looking over, Young Master Han saw Gu Fei waving him off as the latter’s figure beca a blur.
“What a vicious move! Truly a cruel man!” Svelte Dancer muttered under her breath as white light whisked the two of them away.
At that sa mont, the countless Descending Wheel of Flas dropped from the sky and nurous Blazing Tree of a Thousand Inferno spread on the ground, swallowing Young Master Han whole as he uttered a muffled, “F*ck!”
Teleportation was an instantaneous act for the system, so Gu Fei and Svelte Dancer had already found themselves in another place even before Young Master Han died. “Where are we?” Gu Fei asked as he took in the surrounding flora and fauna.
“We are still sowhere in the PvP arena. This Teleportation Scroll doesn’t have a fixed pair of coordinates set on it so it randomly teleports players when used,” Svelte Dancer replied.
“Teleportation Scroll...” Gu Fei mumbled. When he showed the mbers of Young Master’s Elite his Windchaser’s Emblem, they were very surprised to find out that Parallel World had items for teleportation. And yet, Svelte Dancer here already had a Teleportation Scroll on her. Pay-to-win players were indeed a different breed altogether.
Svelte Dancer saw their coordinates and exclaid, “Ah! We’re quite far from where we were.”
“There’s no hurry,” Gu Fei laughed. He pulled out his friends list and sent Young Master Han a ssage, “You dead?” Young Master Han was a skilled Priest, so he might have been able to grasp the timing between the spells and tily bestow Heal on himself to survive the bombardnt.
However, today was apparently not Young Master Han’s lucky day. His guildmates’ perfect coordination of their attacks left him no chance to save himself and he was instantly teleported to the plaza outside the Main Hall of Guilds! Grinding his teeth, Young Master Han spat, “This is why I hate pay-to-win players the most! They always have sothing weird that can destroy tactics....”
“Mhm-mhm. I’ll help you stare at her with contempt,” Gu Fei replied, not bothering with Young Master Han any longer as he learned from the system ssages the terrible situation of Athyst Rebirth.
While Gu Fei and Svelte Dancer had been dealing with Young Master Han and the lot, the rest of the ladies had also been clashing with the enemy forces. The system ssages that Gu Fei had just seen were announcing the deaths of the players from both sides.
By the ti Gu Fei looked at these system announcents, Athyst Rebirth had been left with seven players while Carouse had only lost twenty-nine mbers if Svelte Dancer and Gu Fei’s kills were included as well. That was not even 5% of the mbers Carouse had in this match.
The ti it took Gu Fei to glance through these ssages, Athyst Rebirth had lost yet another two mbers, leaving them with only five players in the PvP arena. Since they were on the sa team, he could see these survivors’ nas. Besides Gu Fei and Svelte Dancer, the remaining three players on Athyst Rebirth’s side were July, Lie Lie, and Will-low.
“Xiaowu, Miles, Will-low, where are you guys?” July asked on the guild channel. It seed that Lie Lie was with July since she did not ntion her.
“Miles and I used a Teleportation Scroll to escape the enemies’ bombardnt,” Svelte Dancer answered.
“I’m at the nearby woodland. No one has found yet,” Will-low answered.
“Lie Lie and I managed to escape the encirclent under Luo Luo’s protection,” July sighed.
“It’s a pity Sis Luo Luo did not manage to escape,” Lie Lie sounded hurt.
“So what do we do now?” Will-low asked.
“Luo Luo just ssaged us to ask for your guidance, Miles. Sothing about you having the experience to deal with the current situation?” July asked this in a suspicious tone.
Only Luo Luo and Will-low in Athyst Rebirth knew that Gu Fei was a mber of Young Master’s Elite. Although Svelte Dancer had barged into their rcenary group eting, she still did not know that they were the Young Master’s Elite. Luo Luo was naturally referring to Gu Fei’s experience participating in the PvP match between Young Master’s Elite and Cloud Herder.
“Fighting many with few. I do have a bit of experience in that,” Gu Fei nodded his head.
“I see. So what do you suggest we do?” July asked.
“Uhm. Let think for a bit!” Gu Fei replied as he sent Young Master Han a ssage, “Hey. We are now left with five mbers. Is there any thod for us to defeat your guild?” Gu Fei looked to him, the online gaming strategist, for external aid.
The answer Young Master Han provided was: “Scram!”
“Co on... Don’t be like that, man! I’ve already heavily chastised Svelte Dancer for her shaless actions,” Gu Fei cajoled.
“Uhhh... To be honest, beating over six hundred players with just five players is indeed a challenge,” Young Master Han admitted.
“That’s right!” Gu Fei thought that Young Master Han’s interest had been piqued, so he quickly agreed with his observation.
“I sure wanna give it a try!”
“Try it! I’ll listen to your commands!” Gu Fei was glad that he was interested.
“But there’s just no way!”
“Why?” Gu Fei could not understand his next words.
“Because I’ve already helped Carouse set up the best thod to deal with you five! Since the thods I co up with are usually perfect, I can’t even find a loophole to exploit myself. Sigh... I truly can’t help you at all!” Young Master Han sent him this ssage.
“I really wanna beat you up right now!” Gu Fei gritted his teeth angrily.
“That will have to wait till you get out, or you can just head sowhere with many Carouse’s n and kill yourself. That’s also pretty fast. Shall I help to get their coordinates for you?”
“Just you wait!” Gu Fei indignantly roared.
“He he he....” was Young Master Han’s next reply.
“Coward!” Gu Fei sent soone else a ssage.
“Don’t call that. Call Coward’s Savior!” Coward’s Savior admonished.
“Are you busy right now? Do you know where Ray’s Bar is? If not, just ask around and you will know how to get there. When you reach there, go to the second curtain door in the back rooms and you should see a guy that looks like a woman. Go beat him up for ,” Gu Fei instructed.
“What for?”
“I’m giving you a chance to experience actual combat! Don’t kill him and just give him a good thrashing using kung fu. Rember to cover your face.”
“Cover my face? Why?”
“Don’t ask too many questions. I’ll tell you about it later. Quickly get this done!”
“Got it!” Coward’s Savior went out to execute his order.
Gu Fei closed the conversation window with a relieved sigh and turned around to find Svelte Dancer staring at him, “What?”
“What are you doing?! Everyone’s waiting for you to explain your strategy on the channel!” Svelte Dancer replied.
“I can’t think of any!” Gu Fei said on the guild channel. “A deviant helped them set up a strategy to specifically deal with us. Winning this guild match will be very difficult for us!” Although Young Master Han was unlikeable in many ways, Gu Fei actually looked highly upon his ability to co up with brilliant battle strategies. Had it not been for Svelte Dancer’s item earlier, they would have been taken down by Young Master Han’s previous stratagem.
“What strategy?” July asked.
“I don’t know yet,” Gu Fei replied.
“So how do you know that it’s very difficult?” Lie Lie asked.
“Because that strategist is a really depraved person. Naturally, the plans he cos up with are equally twisted,” Gu Fei patiently explained.
“Who is this ‘he’?” The ladies’ gossiping nature was aroused.
“He’s a deviant,” was Gu Fei’s only answer. Calling Young Master Han a deviant was one thing, revealing his identity to the ladies was another thing. Gu Fei did not intend to slander Young Master Han’s reputation.
“Tsk...” all the ladies replied this, evidently feeling dissatisfied with his answer. Svelte Dancer even harrumphed directly at Gu Fei to show him her dissatisfaction.
“Whatever the case might be, we are now behind with a score of 29 against 46. If we want to win, we should at least catch up in terms of kill points, right?” Will-low was indeed a fan of Brother Assist. Her keen sense toward data ca into play at this crucial mont.
“That’s right!” Svelte Dancer agreed, saying, “Hide yourself well, girls. Leave this matter to and Miles.” Svelte Dancer’s suggestion was normal. Despite July, Will-low, and Lie Lie’s levels being high in Athyst Rebirth, they were still subpar compared to Carouse’s players.
“Let’s go!” Svelte Dancer declared to Gu Fei.
“Don’t be so hasty,” Gu Fei said to her.
“What now?”
“Wait till I finish eating my banana.”
“Why do you have to eat this soon? You’re always eating a banana during the key monts. How annoying!” Svelte Dancer expressed her dissatisfaction with him once more.
“You’re right. It’s getting pretty dull to eat that all the ti,” Gu Fei sighed, adding, “Guess I’ll eat an apple this ti.”
Svelte Dancer was left speechless by his answer that showed his misinterpretation of her complaint.
Chapter Notes:
[1] Pandora’s Box - in this case, refers to that device used as a ti portal in the movie ntioned in the previous chapter. Clearly, it is not related to the actual Pandora’s Box.
