Chapter 31 - June’s Rain
“Get out of the way!” The axe-wielding Warrior in heavy armor was also anxious as she gave Fireball a kick.
Having fought with Gu Fei for quite so ti before all this, the Warrior did not hold back with her kick. Since Fireball was not an expert like Gu Fei, he was knocked away easily and flew for about five ters, even managing to sorsault twice.
As he lay prone on the ground, Fireball opened his eyes and exclaid sothing very disgraceful in the end, “F*ck, what a babe!”
The armor clanked loudly as the lady knelt on the ground. She picked up the bandage roll that Fireball had dropped and began to deftly patch up Gu Fei without muttering a word.
“Hey,” Gu Fei softly called.
“What?” the lady asked.
“Can you apply the dication before bandaging ? What do you think?” Gu Fei asked.
“Crap!” she quickly shouted. The lady unwound the bandage strip, picked up a bottle of dication, and directly poured it over his wounds.
Gu Fei felt worn out. He tried to remind himself that this was just a ga, so the issue of hygiene should not cause a serious problem like wound infection. He did not ntion any of this out loud though and just quietly subjected himself to the lady’s ministrations.
His HP stopped dropping once the bleeding abated with the help of the dication and bandage. Gu Fei got back up to his feet after Luo Luo bestowed Heal on him a few more tis. Neither his back nor his waist was in pain anymore. Fireball, who still lay prone on the ground about five ters away, could not say the sa, however. He lifted his neck as he called out, “Save ....”
Gu Fei irately made his way over, and went about helping him up. Once Gu Fei squatted down next to his body, Fireball whispered to him, “Drunk bro, don’t bother with . I’m waiting for the babe to co over and help get up!”
Gu Fei felt angry! Having already lifted him up halfway, he imdiately threw him back on the ground once more and walked away.
The two ladies felt it was weird so they looked at Fireball as they asked Gu Fei, “What’s wrong?”
“He’s already dead,” Gu Fei declared.
Both swept their eyes over Fireball and did not say another word. Seeing that the fight was already over and that it was resolving toward a happy ending, the crowd simply lost interest and noisily dispersed.
“Let’s go in!” Luo Luo invited Gu Fei and the Warrior back to the tavern.
Gu Fei indicated the two ladies to enter before him; he expressionlessly stared at Fireball for a bit before going in as well.
Fireball felt snubbed as he crawled back up to his feet still dusty from the fight, and quickly followed the others inside.
Everyone in the tavern was seated once more. Luo Luo and the Warrior sat beside each other on one side of the circular table. Gu Fei waited for Fireball to catch up before they joined and sat across the ladies.
The Warrior had taken off her equipnt – helt, axe, and suit of armor – one by one and stuffed them into her dinsional pocket before she sat down. It was quite an unbelievable sight. But since everyone was already familiar with how the ga inventory system worked, no one felt surprised.
The lady’s commoner clothes, probably sold at a thrift in-ga shop, beca visible once she had taken off her heavy armor. Her long hair was in a ss after being confined in the armor for so long. Her sweaty appearance due to the huge fight a while ago made her seem like soone who belonged to the Beggar Sect in a wuxia novel.
She tidied herself up and lifted her head to stare at Gu Fei and Fireball as they sat down. “Eh, weren’t you dead?” the lady inquisitively looked at Fireball.
Oh, man! This woman is far too silly! The corners of Gu Fei’s mouth twitched as he casually said, “This tavern is really close to a spawn point.”
“There’s a spawn point nearby?” the woman wondered aloud.
No one bothered to explain the situation to her. Luo Luo gazed at her and Gu Fei for a bit before asking, “What’s up with you two?”
Gu Fei had on a forced smile as he proceeded to tell her of the misunderstanding between him and the female Warrior that had occurred not long ago. Fireball uproariously laughed out loud on the spot.
Luo Luo, being a model of beauty and grace, tried her very best not to laugh. However, she gave up halfway through the story; she held her hand against her mouth, turned her cheek to the side, and giggled uncontrollably.
“Oi! It’s not funny at all!” the Warrior woman indignantly said as she slapped the table.
“Agree,” Gu Fei said seriously, “I’ve walked past there many tis. The misunderstanding has already happened quite a few tis!”
“Yes! I wasn’t the only one who ran up to him! What are you all laughing for?!” the lady muttered angrily.
“I’ll stop, I’ll stop,” Luo Luo removed her hand from her mouth and maintained a slight smile as she sat there. Fireball forced himself to stop laughing as well, even as he shook visibly from the effort, nearly flipping the table from his lack of propriety.
Seeing that Gu Fei was not mocking her, the Warrior decided to bury the hatchet between them and addressed him, “My na’s June’s Rain. You?”
“Thousand Miles Drunk,” Gu Fei said.
“And you?” June’s Rain stared at Fireball. She figured that since he was seated at the sa table as them, she should at least ask for his na as well.
Fireball’s smiling face transford into a crying face when she asked.
Luo Luo smiled, “His na’s Fireball.”
“If you’re called Fireball, just say Fireball! What are you crying for?” June’s Rain was surprised.
“I’m a Mage,” Fireball’s tears rolled down his face.
“So what?” June’s Rain asked.
Gu Fei shook his head by the side. Sothing must be wrong within the heads of these two. June’s Rain failed to grasp the joke behind Fireball’s na, and remained clueless even after Fireball ntioned that he was a Mage. She was so ditzy that it hurt. Fireball was no better either. Replying “So what if you’re called Fireball” with “I’m a Mage” was not the least bit connected! Fireball’s na only inconvenienced the Mages, such as Gu Fei, around him when they had to say his na during conversations. It had nothing to do with what his job class was. It was not as if he would call out his own na outside of battle often.
June’s Rain did not understand the aning behind Fireball’s na but decided to let it go. Instead, she focused her attention back to Gu Fei, “Your na seems familiar!”
“Is that so?” Gu Fei smiled as he thought of how he had the title of being the second most efficient player in leveling up.
“Oh, yeah!” June’s Rain suddenly slapped the table and stood up, “You’re the guy who got into our guild.”
Gu Fei instinctively pulled out the guild tab and took a look. He indeed found her na on the list at level 30, albeit she was one position lower than him. When he looked at the guild tab for the first ti that day, he was so startled by how all the guild mbers were listed as ’female” that he did not focus on their nas. Afterward, he never bothered to look through the na list again since he did not care who they were.
“Xiaoyu1, don’t say that. It’s all a misunderstanding,” Luo Luo attempted to help Gu Fei explain the situation.
“Is that so?” June’s Rain looked at Gu Fei, “Really? Even if it’s just a misunderstanding to begin with, what if he starts having certain ideas?” June’s Rain had abundant experience with online gas. One could tell this just from her obsession with hidden quests.
Because a majority of players in online gas were males, they tended to flock toward the female players. If not for the fact that online gas had many G.I.R.L2 players, the n would have continued to bother every female character they encountered. However, males could no longer masquerade as females in Parallel World, seeing as all retained their real appearance. Furthermore, a few sensitive issues erged that did not need to be ntioned given how realistic the ga’s imrsion system was. This was why many male players could be seen hitting on female players all the ti in Yunduan City.
An all-female guild like Athyst Rebirth would naturally attract these lecherous male players’ attention. Although June’s Rain was not that bright when it ca to most matters, she was exceptionally attuned with matters pertaining to the ga.
Gu Fei could only smile with regard to her suspicion, not saying another word.
“I don’t care what you do with the others. Just don’t dare to hit on ! Truth be told, I’m a lesbian. So I’m not interested in n,” June’s Rain stated.
“Really?” Gu Fei could not help but laugh. She was so bad at lying. It was a wonder how she ca up with it. “Since that’s the case, you can just treat like your brother!” Gu Fei said.
“That’s right!” the lady nodded her head seriously. She then extended her hand to Gu Fei, “Shake.”
Gu Fei extended his hand as well without another thought.
F*ck! Gu Fei scread internally as they shook hands, What a m*therf*cking violent Warrior! He inexplicably felt depressed as he swore inside him. June’s Rain did not hold back with her grip’s strength at all, and Gu Fei could not resist given his weak physique.
Pain was one thing, but tolerance was another. Gu Fei’s hand hurt as he angrily cursed in his heart, yet his face showed no change in expression whatsoever.
“Eh? Aren’t you in pain?” June’s Rain actually asked him this.
“Of course, it hurts,” Gu Fei admitted honestly.
“So why aren’t you reacting?”
Gu Fei simply laughed, “I’m a man after all!”
“Alright. Stop this nonsense,” Luo Luo initially did not know what June’s Rain was doing to Gu Fei, but she quickly stopped them once she heard their exchange.
“There’s a ssage from Xiaoqi,” Luo Luo told the two.
“What’s the matter?” June’s Rain asked.
“It appears we have obtained a guild quest; she’s calling a eting for those who are online,” Luo Luo said.
“Quest? What type of quest?” June’s Rain was so excited that she imdiately stood up once she heard the word “quest”. Her reaction was that of an absolute quest fanatic.
“Let’s head back and take a look,” Luo Luo stood up and headed toward the door. June’s Rain rushed forth as well, before turning around and staring at the still seated Gu Fei, “Hey, why are you still seating there?”
“What? Do I have to go, too?” Gu Fei was astonished.
“What nonsense, you’re a mber of our guild now!”
“Fine, I’m going!” Gu Fei figured since he had nothing going on, he might as well co along. Gu Fei got up but then rembered that Fireball had originally asked him out. He wondered if he had sothing planned. Looking back at Fireball, he asked, “Are you alright?”
Fireball looked visibly disappointed, shaking his head as he said, “I’m fine. It’s nothing. Go ahead, Drunk bro.”
Gu Fei nodded. When Fireball saw the two ladies turn around, he imdiately bolted toward Gu Fei, “Call if anything good happens!”
“Naturally,” Gu Fei laughed.
The two won headed out of the tavern and made their way toward where Athyst Rebirth’s guild house was located. No one spoke a word while they walked. Suddenly, June’s Rain started rocking back and forth, laughing raucously.
“What?” Gu Fei and Luo Luo were puzzled.
“That guy – That guy’s na is Fireball. Ha ha ha ha ha! That’s funny!” June’s Rain was almost in tears.
What sort of brain does she have! Gu Fei lanted.
