Chapter 269 - Reflect Damage
Every ti a match ended in the two tournants, the system would calculate the result while the victors remained inside the PvP arena map before sending them out in a short while. The Black Hand rcenary group had long been outside the PvP arena. When it was ti to confirm their losses, most of them quickly departed from the square outside the Hall of rcenaries. Not one of them was in the mood to look at the happy expressions of the victors. At the mont, the teleportation array by the Hall of rcenaries was devoid of players.
When Gu Fei was sent out of the PvP arena, the only person he saw was Xi Xiaotian who had died together with him. At this mont, the system announced the final result. Naturally, Young Master’s Elite erged victorious. The Black Hand’s players assud that their plan to prevent Young Master’s Elite from causing them further embarrassnt by achieving ‘perfect victory’ had failed.
When that did not happen, the perplexed mbers of The Black Hand quickly checked the result of the rcenary PvP tournant’s finals.
Total Score
Young Master’s Elite - 87
The Black Hand - 1
“Soone among us managed to kill one of them?!” Even the mbers of The Black Hand found this hard to believe. After Black Index Finger had instructed the remaining players to spread out, hide, or run from Young Master’s Elite, they had seen each of those players rapidly get thodically eliminated. The entire rcenary group was absolutely gutted when this happened, so none stayed behind to wait for the shaful result.
Hence, they did not know who had managed to kill off one mber of Young Master’s Elite. Black Index Finger was still ecstatic at such a result and clamored on the rcenary channel, “Who is it?! Who among us managed to kill one of their players?! Also, which one did you kill?!”
Not one person spoke up.
“What the heck?! Is it a trend to remain anonymous after doing a good deed now?” Black Index Finger criticized. He knew that only twenty-one players had remained in the PvP arena from his rcenary group after his death. Only these twenty-one players had had the chance to prevent Young Master’s Elite from seizing a ‘perfect victory’, so only soone among them could have done the killing. Black Index Finger unfortunately did not know each of these remaining twenty-one mbers; he found it rather strange that no one was claiming the honor for the feat of killing an enemy at the mont, though.
The rcenary channel was filled with chattering about the matter. There were hundreds of different guesses, but the final conclusion they ca to was that perhaps soone among Young Master’s Elite had accidentally died from falling down the mountain. No one would have believed such a bizarre death to be a feasible explanation, but after quite a few of them had suffered such a fate from today’s match, everyone was more than happy to accept such a reason for their enemies failing to achieve ‘perfect victory’.
“It is retribution!” everyone cheered on the rcenary channel.
At this mont, the five other mbers of Young Master’s Elite exited the PvP arena. They felt quite surprised upon seeing that no one was by the teleportation to receive them. Before the others could react to this, Young Master Han coldly asked while sweeping his gaze around, “Miles, where the hell did you die off to?!”
The five hurriedly sent Gu Fei a ssage when they could not find him.
“Wait a mont. I have sothing on!” was Gu Fei’s reply.
“We’ll be waiting at Ray’s Bar,” Young Master Han coldly replied before leaving with a blackened expression.
“Isn’t your reaction a bit too much?” Royal God Call asked. While they felt sowhat saddened for not achieving ‘perfect victory’, none of them was incensed about it like him. It was already a miracle that their six-man rcenary group managed to defeat an eighty-seven-man rcenary group, so what more could they ask for?
“Young Master is too much of a perfectionist!” Brother Assist sighed.
“A man who’s not content is like a snake that tries to swallow an elephant whole1,” War Without Wounds philosophized.
“Sword Demon, go appease him or sothing,” Royal God Call said to Sword Demon.
“Let’s get to the bar first!” Sword Demon simply said.
Gu Fei was actually not far from the teleportation array and had rely followed Xi Xiaotian to an adjacent street.
“What happened? How did I die?” Gu Fei could not stop himself from blurting out this question. This question ricocheted in his head a hundred and eighty tis in just this short walk; he considered every small detail and was absolutely certain that Xi Xiaotian had not done any strange motion and that he had not received the slightest bit of damage from any angle earlier.
How did I die? Gu Fei asked this question to himself nurous tis as he chased after Xi Xiaotian.
“‘Reflect damage’,” Xi Xiaotian only replied to his question when they reached this particular street.
“‘Reflect damage’? What’s that?” Gu Fei asked.
“Haven’t you played MMOs before? Why don’t you know of this?” Xi Xiaotian rolled her eyes.
“I seldom play gas, actually,” Gu Fei confessed.
Xi Xiaotian felt exasperated and began to lecture Gu Fei about it, “It’s really simple. All the equipnt I currently have reflects damage with a 32% proc rate at a degree of 47%. This ans that there’s a 32% chance of reflecting damage by 47% when soone attacks . This 47% reflected damage ignores all defense and resistance. So, expert, you have essentially just insta-killed yourself.”
“I see...” With such a simple reason, Gu Fei imdiately understood everything. If it was based on his damage... Gu Fei roughly calculated his equipnt, skill, and Spell Damage and realized that 47% reflected damage was enough to kill him off. Gu Fei had low HP and did not have any equipnt that increased this, so he was weaker in this aspect than most Mages.
“Hold on. Sothing doesn’t add up!” Gu Fei at least had so gaming knowledge after playing Parallel World for so long. “When I was trying to killing you, my total damage should be done on to your total HP, so the damage reflected from shouldn’t be my total damage but your total HP, instead! You’re an Archer, so your HP should be about the sa as mine, a Mage; why is my HP only 47% of yours?”
“Sorry break it to you but this Archer here has a full-Endurance build,” Xi Xiaotian stated dryly.
“Full Endurance?” Gu Fei was shocked, and then he realized, “That’s why your movent speed is so slow!”
“Yup. To think even my full-Endurance build couldn’t withstand your attack. Your Spell Damage is no joke, after all. But if I were a full-Endurance build Guardian or perhaps a Priest, I might survive your attack. aning, only you would have died just then,” Xi Xiaotian reasoned.
“Oi! The way you’re building your character and the trait of all your equipnt... Are you intentionally trying to counter ?!” Gu Fei asked.
“Of course, I am. Wa ha ha ha! The top expert in Yunduan City fell to this unbeatable swindler’s hands in the end!” Xi Xiaotian chortled.
“Can you not have such a distasteful personality?” Xi Xiaotian’s tone reminded him of soone. He then hastily added, “Besides, I have yet to lose. Don’t forget that you got killed off as well, so we are even at most. Neither of us won or lost.”
“What? Are you dissatisfied?” Wanna give it another go?” Xi Xiaotian straightened herself and faced Gu Fei squarely.
“Let’s go!” Gu Fei brought out his sword as well.
“Are you for real? You’ll lose a level if you die now; aren’t you afraid of that happening?” Xi Xiaotian asked, skeptical.
“Swindler Tian, I’m sure you’ve realized it by now. Your chance of reflecting damage is only at 32%. It ans that I have a 68% chance of erging victorious and a 32% chance of dying together with you. As for you, you have zero chance of winning and 100% chance of dying...” Gu Fei reasoned.
“That’s perfectly fine by ! I was feeling that this sort of stat point allocation makes it hard for to keep grinding, anyway. I’m ready to drop a level and reallocate my stat points when I level up again!” Xi Xiaotian said. “Co on; use your rich experience killing players to take down!”
Gu Fei furrowed his brows for a mont before saying, “You don’t happen to have a vendetta with soone to the point of you using such thod to get even, right?”
“No way... You managed to see through that?” Xi Xiaotian asked, shocked.
“You’re really despicable! If you wanna kill soone, just do what I do!” Gu Fei flourished his blade before putting it inside his dinsional pocket.
“You’ve got your ways, and I’ve got mine!” Xi Xiaotian replied simply.
“I wish you all the best, then!” Gu Fei was ready to leave.
“Rember to use Appraisal before killing soone; careful you don’t get killed this sa way again!” Xi Xiaotian giggled.
“Mhm-mhm...” Gu Fei nodded his head in agreent. “How many people out there would be as crazy as you to actually use such a thod?” After saying this, he turned around and left in the direction of Ray’s Bar where the rest of Young Master’s Elite was currently waiting for him.
“I’m sure there’s soone out there like that!” Xi Xiaotian muttered softly as she watched Gu Fei walk away.
Ray promptly spotted Gu Fei once he stepped inside the bar, mildly acknowledging his presence with a ‘congratulations’. Although Young Master’s Elite did not get the privilege of being proclaid as the victors on the world channel by clinching a ‘perfect victory’, the system would still publicly announce the final results of the rcenary PvP tournant. First place was Young Master’s Elite, second place was The Black Hand, and third place was Water Flower.
The whole city was stunned by this outco; no one had expected for the six-man rcenary group of Young Master’s Elite to be such a dark horse that even the most famous and strongest rcenary group in Yunduan City got beaten by it.
Gu Fei sped past the bar lounge and heard the surrounding players discussing the matter in earnest. He felt quite pleased with himself for taking part in the match and earning all those kill points to secure this win. But when he entered the room, all this feeling of satisfaction vanished in thin air as he saw Young Master Han’s dissatisfied expression.
“Just what happened to you?! Why did you screw up at the very end?!” Young Master Han began yelling at Gu Fei before he could even take a seat. Young Master Han was naturally suppressing this yell, as the rooms that Ray had built were not soundproof.
“Calm down!” Royal God Call and War Without Wounds did their best to pacify Young Master Han, which Gu Fei found to be quite surprising. The two would usually watch such a show unfold with a touch of schadenfreude and would not do anything to resolve it; what they were doing right now was truly unlike them.
“How many tis must we tell you; we gotta stay united,” War Without Wounds sincerely said, fitting the mature look he had and making him appear more convincing.
“That’s right, especially at tis like this,” Royal God Call said. When he saw that Gu Fei was about to say sothing, he quickly placed his finger on his lips and said, “Miles, just sit there and receive Young Master’s tongue lashing.”
“Yeah. Look Young Master; Miles knows that he’s in the wrong, and he’s behaving himself now. Old n like you should not act rashly. It doesn’t matter if you hurt yourself bottling all that anger up; you just hafta be careful not to be too emotional. It’s going to be extrely troubleso for us if you disband the rcenary group in a fit of anger,” War Without Wounds said solemnly.
“None of us has received the final prize yet! You definitely cannot disband the group at this ti,” Royal God Call added.
