Chapter 6: The Mage Who Ran So Fast!

  "Where are we going?" Fireball couldn't help but ask as they got farther and farther away from the Cloud Edge City and the newbies' training area.

  "There are so many people there, no way to level up, I'll take you somewhere else," said Gu Fei.

  "Where are we?" The fireball looked around, and the surrounding area was undulating hills, obviously different from the terrain outside the city. In the game, this means that it is already a new training area.

  Gu Fei didn't answer him, but instead led him up the hill and pointed to a small pond below, saying "Look, there..." When he turned his head back, the fireball was gone. Then he heard the fireball's voice coming from beside his feet: "Ah! Quick, get down, don't you want to live? You'll be seen." The fireball had already lain down on the hillside, poking its head into a clump of grass while crawling backwards, still speaking to Gu Fei in a muffled voice, extremely anxious.

  "What are you doing?" Gu Fei was both angry and amused.

  "That's a vagabond! Do you know what level of monster that is? It actually brought me here, I'd better go back to the outskirts and fight monsters with others!" Fireball said, having already crawled back half a meter before daring to lift its head to speak.

  "What's wrong with you, just watch!" Gu Fei smiled and lifted up his Taoist robe with one hand.

  "What are you going to do!!!" The fireball was shocked, but immediately saw Gu Fei pull out a dagger from under his long gown.

  "Are you... a thief?" The fireball was stunned.

  "Fireball!" Gu Fei shouted.

  "Hmm?" The fireball responded as it saw another fireball burning in front of Gu Fei.

  Equipment can't prove one's identity, but skills are absolutely impossible to fake. Gu Fei is a mage without a doubt.

  "It's a law enforcement officer!" The fireball nodded, "Then what are you doing with that dagger?"

  "Fight the monster!" Gu Fei exclaimed, dashing down the mountain slope.

  "Hey, are you crazy!" The fireball shouted loudly, and quickly crawled forward for another half meter. It lifted its head and saw that the mountain slope where Gu Fei was had already slid down by half.

  "Day! The law master is running so fast!" Fireball shouted. At this time, Gu Fei had already run into the line of sight of six NPCs, and the six people stood up and surrounded Gu Fei.

  "It's all over! You're definitely done for, you're too weak!" Fireball muttered to himself. Six NPCs surrounded him, and even if they weren't a level higher, these kinds of monsters that lived in groups and had a sense of mutual aid couldn't be taken down by one person alone. Fireball didn't dare blink, he felt that with just one blink, Gu Fei would already have turned into a white light.

  But an unthinkable scene happened right before Huo Qiu's eyes. He saw Gu Fei's figure agilely shuttling among the six people, his dagger flying left and right, and from time to time, a blood flower would fly out, accompanied by the NPCs' miserable cries.

  The fireball has lost its blinking function and is now panting heavily with its mouth wide open. What kind of person is this? Six small monsters around level 20 are being suppressed by him, with all their attacks missing. No, it seems that's not entirely accurate - he himself is dodging them. How high is his level? Is it 40? 50? But the game has only been open for less than a day, how can someone have such a high level? Even if they did... would there be someone who could go up against him and his meat-grinding mage? Could this be a hidden account? A hidden profession? The legendary game balance destroyer? The fireball begins to fantasize, and in its eyes, Gu Fei transforms into streaks of white light - the white light of leveling up. The six small monsters have already been knocked down by him. With his speed increased significantly, and now armed with a dagger that can cut through flesh, Gu Fei's efficiency has improved greatly.

  The fireball rose from the ground and flew towards Gu Fei, who swung his hand fiercely at it.

  Gu Fei first cleared out a few NPCs, then walked towards the fireball with a completely carefree smile on his face. In his opinion, killing these six stereotypical NPCs was just too easy.

  "Big brother, what level are you?!" The fireball looked up at him with admiration.

  Gu Fei glanced at his own stats and replied, "Level 10."

  "What? Level 10?" The fireball, which had just stood up straight, sat back down on the ground. "Do you know what level they were?" The fireball pointed at the six NPC corpses over there.

  "I saw it on the website, it's around 20 levels!" Gu Fei said.

  "A level 10 killing a level 20 monster, and one person taking down six of them!" Huo Qiu nodded his head, as if trying to convince himself to believe it, despite having just witnessed it with his own eyes.

  "What's the big deal? If you can kill, then just kill!" Gu Fei said nonchalantly.

  The fireball just stared with its eyes wide open and mouth agape, it had no words left. What is this? Is this an operation? But where did the holographic game come from with such operations.

  "I know kung fu!" Gu Fei laughed.

  "My god, kung fu can be used to play online games too?" Fireball muttered.

  Gu Fei hadn't even had time to respond when he heard a shout from the other side of the mountain slope: "Found it, over here!"

  As they looked over, they saw a person standing at the front of the mountain slope on the right side, stretching out his hand to gesture towards them, while turning around to shout down the mountain slope.

  The two of them also stood up and looked down at the mountain slope in that direction. From all directions, players came running over here in threes and twos, gathering together, with at least several dozen people.

  "What's going on? What's going on?" The fireball looked around and asked, "Is there a BOSS?" After searching for a while, except for the six small monsters that had just fallen down, there was no other NPC in sight.

  "Come on, let's go!" Gu Fei said.

  "How did you know?" the fireball asked.

  "There's killing intent!" Gu Fei said.

  "Big brother, just keep teasing me!" Huo Qiu rolled his eyes.

  But Gu Fei's guess was correct, a group of people gradually gathered at the foot of the mountain, and they came towards the two with a menacing air.

  "See, I told you it was for us!" Gu Fei said, pointing at a guy in front of him.

  The fireball narrowed his eyes and recognized the group of players who had previously clashed with him. "Damn, is it necessary? It's just a pig! So much fuss." The fireball cursed, then continued to look like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water: "Anyway, I'm level 1."

  "Didn't you see that pond over there?" Gu Fei pointed down the mountain slope.

  Huǒ Qiú thought of the other side shouting to throw him into the river earlier, his face suddenly turned white, and he immediately made the worst plan: "Is that pond deep?"

  "I don't know!" Gu Fei shook his head, and at this time the crowd had already arrived in front of the two. Gu Fei had never thought of escaping, and Huo Qiu thought he was level 1, so neither of them had planned to escape, but after being reminded by Gu Fei to pay attention to the pond, now they were starting to regret it.

  The two parties met. The other side stood in a fan shape, surrounding the two of them, with at least fifty or sixty people. Gu Fei let out a breath, he was just good at martial arts, not Superman, how could he take on fifty or sixty people? Even if his skills allowed it, his physical strength didn't. However, whether to make a move now was another matter, looking at the way the other side looked at him with some fear in their eyes.

  "What's wrong?" Gu Fei asked.

  "The president is him." Someone pointed at Gu Fei and said.

  Gu Fei immediately looked at the guy he called Hui Zhang: a thin and short young man, but his hair stood upright, subtly lengthening his face and height. His skin was rough and pockmarked like orange peel, with two small eyes rolling around on Gu Fei's body. With this demeanor, Gu Fei thought his profession should be a thief.

  The man looked at Gu Fei for a while, and a smile appeared on his face: "Hello, I am the president of the Ni Tian Xing Association."

  "Hello!" Gu Fei replied calmly.

  "We are from 'Moyu' and have come together to the 'Parallel World'," said the president.

  Gu Fei nodded, he was also a young man and not unfamiliar with online games, especially the famous "Mo Yu". Before "Parallel World", "Mo Yu" was probably the most popular online game. In Gu Fei's school, this game was viewed by teachers as a fierce beast, afraid that if they weren't careful, their students would be lured away by it.

  But the holographic game came out of nowhere, and these old online games obviously had no way out. From the start of the "Parallel World" public test to now, the number of people playing "Mo Yu" has repeatedly hit new lows, and the voices that fill the world are all shouting to sell their accounts, one after another wanting to switch to "Parallel World". Although it is said that "Mo Yu" is also accelerating its holographic reform, no matter what, they will not be able to taste the sweetest first bite of this big cake.

  The fireball on the side knew more than Gu Fei. He had played "Mo Yu" and even recognized the name of the Ni Tian Xing Hui. In "Mo Yu", this was a very powerful guild, with a great reputation throughout the gaming world. Especially the leader of the Ni Tian, Jian Gui, who had brought the profession of Mo Wu to its peak, with equipment, level, skills, and operation all being top-notch. He was absolutely the number one idol in the hearts of "Mo Yu" players, and when Fireball played "Mo Yu", he had also admired him for a while. Unexpectedly, they would meet under such circumstances. Looking at this very sly young man, Fireball couldn't help but ask: "Are you Jian Gui?"

  Gu Fei's calm reaction made Jian Gui feel a bit uninteresting, but the fireball's performance was very satisfying to him. He nodded slightly and said, "I'm it! Nice to meet you!" The condescending attitude hidden behind his gentle demeanor was perfectly displayed by him.

  "Ah! How did you end up like this? Are you a sword demon or am I seeing ghosts?" Huo Qiu's words were clearly unguarded, and they pierced the Sword Demon's sore spot.
