Chapter 365 - Bullying the Minority with the Majority

    Chapter 365 - Bullying the Minority with the Majority


    A continuous stream of yers ran down the city’s main street to the harbor, arriving at the beach ording to their respective movement speed. When the two fastest Thieves first arrived, they did not make a beeline for Gu Fei. Instead, after exchanging a quick nce with the six men, they boldly activated their Stealth right before his eyes.


    Using Stealth was rather effective in this case; Gu Fei was currently in a busy bar by the beach and his circumstances essentiallymanded everyone’s attention. Therefore, plenty of people had their eyes on them as they drank. Gu Fei could sense all the yers looking at him, so determining where the two Thieves in Stealth were hiding would not be easy at all.


    However, despite being in Stealth, these people still did not dare to do anything to him. As such, he calmly continued watching as more and more people arrived at his and Young Master Han’s location. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the people making their way over were the very same people that he had seen at the Bounty Assignment Hall; it seemed this was everyone else on the opposing side!


    Even Young Master Han felt disappointed at the sight at the paltry number of foes and shook his head. “Are they all the backups you guys have?”


    The enemiesughed coldly. “Don’t tell me you guys want more? Stay here and sit longer, and you’ll probably get your wish.”


    Young Master Han warmly smiled at them. “Then, we’ll really stay here longer!”


    “Hmph! Sit tight and wait for your death, then!” Although the man said this, he was actually feeling anxious inside. They were rather unsettled at the resolve the two men showed.


    About then many yers sitting at the open-air bar stood up one by one and left the premises. This entire scene gave Gu Fei and the six men a fright. Gu Fei, for his part, thought that the enemies had secretly hidden a lot of manpower and was about to grantly flout the rules in the area. The six men, meanwhile, felt worried that this was a ploy the two men had cooked up and received quite the scare when many yers stood up in unison.


    However, when both parties nced at one another, they quickly realized that the other party was as clueless as they were. It became apparent that these men’s actions were not something that either side had arranged. At the same time, the yers who had stood up all headed in one direction.


    The six Linshui City yers quickly figured out what was going on upon seeing this, and could not help butugh. Gu Fei was still puzzled about all this, but he soon also realized what was happening.


    It turned out that a ship had just docked by the harbor, and these people were looking to board it to head to their grinding map. They were probably passing the time in the bar upon arriving early at the harbor. Actually, the sess of the open-air bars could not just be attributed to the great seaside scenery, but also to existence of the harbor.


    Gu Fei’s palpitating heart rxed, but when he saw the six men not only easing up but also showing excitement, he immediately thought it a little strange. Turning his head over to Young Master Han, he discovered thetter’s extremely contented expression.


    The ship drew nearer to the harbor with every passing second. It was a ferry, but of arger size, muchrger than the dhow that he had snatched from the guards before. He did not know if a ferry should logically be that big, but the system was never one for logic to begin with. The ferry was here to service the yers, anyway, so it naturally made sense that it was better for everyone if it was bigger. If it could only ferry a hundred yers over, then those from Linshui City would surely revolt, as that was barely enough to fulfill the transportation needs of the city!


    The ship slowed down as it reached its berth. When the broad and long wooden nk set down, a host of yers surged forth and made their way down the beach. Gu Fei felt as if he were watching a war film the moment he saw how packed the ensing crowd was.


    Having been ferried about for such a long time, Linshui City’s yers had already learned to let the passengers alight before they they boarded ferry. The yers in the game would randomly pick a spot to sit down once they got on board anyway, so no one fought for seats and everyone maintained orderliness throughout the whole process.


    The crowd that had disembarked quickly scattered on the beach. yers who had acquired valuable items during their grinding headed to the right, where the trading zone was located; those who had managed to make new friends during their grinding proceeded to the open-air bars to share a drink or two together. The entire beach burst into activity once more as plenty of merchants that sold equipment or liquor began started soliciting the potential customers; even those yers squatting at their campfires and grilling fishes began to yell words filled with descriptors unique to the game. “Top-quality grilled fish with a proficiency of 3000; a rod for only four and a half gold coins; what a cheap deal!”


    “Ah, mine was more expensive!” hemented. He had bought each rod for five gold coins, and the chef only had a proficiency of 2700.


    After most of the hubbub had died down, everyone got their seats. Gu Fei soon realized that more yers were staring at the two of them from inside and outside the bar.


    “Gentlemen, I believe that you are satisfied now!” the six chuckled in delight. Their friends had apparently been grinding. It was too bad that Linshui City’s yers could not call to their friends when they were off grinding levels, as they had to wait for the ferries to get them from ce to ce. As such, another bunch of helpers had appeared with the ship’s arrival from a level 40 grinding map.


    Looking around, Gu Fei saw that the size of this group was not more than a level 5 mercenary group with a hundred men; fleeing from these men with his Blink skill should not be difficult. And if he could not shake them loose, he would just ughter his way out. Although getting rid of a 30 PK value was really troublesome, he found it really awkward not to give these people face and reciprocate after they had gone through all this effort just to kill him.


    Gu Fei’s expression was calm as he thought of this, yet he was actually feeling ted inside at the possibility of being forced into a fight. Gu Fei had limited himself to stay below a 30 PK value, but of course he was rather bothered by this limit. To break this limit he had given himself, he had to have a sufficient reason for doing so.


    Young Master Han, who had actually been looking at the new enemies had arrived, nodded his head approvingly, “That’s quite a lot!”


    “How is it? Are you satisfied?” the man goaded.


    “Honestly, not really,” Young Master Han said as he slowly got up. “In any case, I’m a very considerate person; you guys are trying to bully the minority with the majority, right? I’ll leave you guys extremely satisfied.”


    He then raised his arm and waved.


    Everyone turned to look in the direction he had waved at.


    Arge group of yers could be seen disembarking from a ship in that direction. They did not get on to the main road, head off into the city, make their way to the trading zone, grab a drink at the open-air bar or even begin feasting on grilled fish; these men looked to be pondering on what they should do next.


    It was rare to see arge number of yers hesitate on what to do once they got off the ferry, as they would usually go over their next steps a hundred and eighty times while aboard the ship.


    Gu Fei, who had also nced at this group of yers, realized that he was familiar with many of them.


    They were yers from Yunduan City!


    These people began to move in the direction the two were situated at. Weaving through the stalls scattered about with their staggering numbers was quite difficult, so they could only amble forward slowly.


    Nheless, it was still obvious that they were heading toward Gu Fei and Young Master Han’s current location.


    The six men’s mouths gaped wider and wider. Thoserades who hade to help them deal with Young Master Han and Gu Fei seemed to have just been sshed with cold water with the way their mouths were hanging open.


    “Did they call for all those people?” some asked on the mercenary channel.


    “That’s impossible! The two are not from Linshui City, so how could they have the clout to gather this many people?” someone refuted. Noting the size of the mob, it was at least a level 5 guild.


    “Could it be that they are acquaintances of a boss in Linshui City?” someone theorized.


    “B*llsh*t! Someone would havee to their aid long ago if that were the case.” Only the most powerful guilds in Linshui City were able to set up stalls in this gold mine beside the harbor. If the two were affiliated with arge guild, they would naturally open up a bar over here as well! After all, there were not that many level 5 guilds in every city!


    These men had discovered a few things about the two so far, and one of those was that the two were foreigners and did not have any strong backer in Linshui City. That was why they were brave enough to surround the two in one of the busiest locations in the city and were unwilling to believe that their targets actually had the capacity to mobilize such arge number of yers to their cause.


    “Could they be faking it?” Someone still held onto such a hopeless wish. By this point, the head of the mass of yers had already made his way over and was waving back toward Young Master Han in a wanton manner.


    “You guys aren’t leaving yet?” Young Master Han asked emotionlessly as he stared at the six men who were rooted to the spot.


    The six men looked at one another. They hade to ost the two so brazenly, and would now be beating a hasty retreat; was this not just too humiliating? Many yers had also been watching them all this while, yet....


    While prideful yers would consider the loss of levels to be negligible over the loss of face, practical yers like them would consider the loss of levels to be more important than the loss of face or potential benefits.


    Besides, they had the old adage, ‘wise men will not pick a fight when the odds are against them’ as an excuse. Typing this on the mercenary channel, they all departed despondently from the area.


    “Discouraging enemies from engaging is highest form of warfare1, get it?” he told Gu Fei.


    “How boring.” Gu Fei felt a tinge of regret at having to keep his rule of not breaking through the 30 PK value.


    Only after Oathless Sword reached their table did he realize that Gu Fei was present as well. He immediately expressed his delight, “Brother Miles is here as well! That’s wonderful!”


    Gu Fei was privately astonished. He had been busy with the matter involving the NPC guards, so quite some time had passed since he had any form of contact with Oathless Sword. When did he start treating me with sincerity? When did Young Master Han win the mental tussle?, he wondered.


    He regarded the crowd of yers once more. Sword Demon, Royal God Call, and many others had also made their way over to them. All of them were around level 40, so it was only natural for them to be onboard the same ship heading to this location. Given how everyone was meeting up at the same time to continue the expedition, they would naturally end up on the same time slot. This was not at all a coincidence and was instead an inevitability!


    “So how is everything, Boss Oathless? Is everyone present?” Young Master Han asked Oathless Sword.


    “More or less. Since everyone is already online and in this city, we don’t need to rush. The few missing ones should be making their way over to the harbor as we speak; there’s no way for us to miss our ship. Everyone should just rest here for a bit!” Oathless Sword shouted thisst part to everyone present.
