《World of Experts 》Chapter 22: Pei or Cui
Advertisement
At this moment, a heroic spirit flashed through the eyes of Pei Yuanqing and said with a smile: “I also have such intention! Merely, I’m also not a nameless rat that leaves with random people. If you want me to go forward with you, then please make a move! I will just stand here without moving. As long as you are able to injure me, I will follow you all.”
“Good!” Wu Batian was overjoyed. Unfortunately, he was too stupid to be so overjoyed. Just think about it, in the current state, all spawned historical NPCs were level 10. But Wu Batian was just level 7. Moreover, he was a level 7 commander, and the damage output of a commander was notoriously crippled. The commanders didn’t need to personally step forward and join the battle. They were the commander-in-chief of the troops, and they were also the provider of the bluffs for the entire team. However, this also couldn’t be blamed entirely on Wu Batian. After all, other people had yet to know that the historical NPCs that spawned at this stage were all level 10. Moreover, Wu Batian also knew the issue of his lacking damage output before making a move.
“Okay! You, go.” Wu Batian instructed the knight among his lackeys. This knight’s level had also reached level 7. Moreover, he also had a Powerful Attack Skill. Although this knight’s skill proficiency was low, he could raise his damage output by 6 points. And considering how that ‘Cui Yuanqing’ was still naked, but this knight had a level 1 iron spear, Wu Batian was rather confident.
After receiving the command of Wu Batian, that knight raised his spear and used all his power to attack. Bang! Bang! Bang! Ear-piercing sounds resounded.
“No good! Your attacks are too lacking! I won’t play with you all.” Pei Yuanqing was disappointed. He then walked to the village entrance and saw the notice board. After seeing it, Pei Yuanqing immediately turned around and ran in the direction indicated on the notice board.
“F***! Who exactly is that fellow? One of you, log off and check the background of this historical figure, Cui Yuanqing in the real world. I thought he was just a D grade historical NPC, but seeing his ability, I think he is at least B grade, or even A grade.” After speaking, Wu Batian immediately ran after Pei Yuanqing. One had to say that Wu Batian who had the commander profession was a lot faster than fighter Pei Yuanqing. Wu Batian quickly caught up with Pei Yuanqing. But no matter what Wu Batian said, Pei Yuanqing ignored him. This was also normal! There were two reasons for this. Firstly, Wu Batian had already failed the recruitment mission of Pei Yuanqing, and Pei Yuanqing was too lazy to speak more with him. Secondly, Shi Hao’s mission of recruiting Pei Yuanqing with a hidden method had already begun, and Pei Yuanqing must go to Twin Dragons Village without wasting time.
Therefore, when the sun was still high in the sky, Pei Yuanqing who had been running wildly throughout the way arrived at the entrance of Twin Dragons Village in sweat. Heroic Overlord Under Heaven had also arrived and was watching from a distant place behind Pei Yuanqing. This time, Heroic Overlord Under Heaven had become a litter wiser. He didn’t dare to easily approach the village. If he was caught this time, then he would be killed for sure. Therefore, he could only watch from a distance.

“Who are you? Twin Dragons Village is not a place where outsiders can enter and leave as pleased. Show your character panel.” The soldiers guarding the entrance of Twin Dragons Village said to Pei Yuanqing. Ever since Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao read the post that revealed the information of Twin Dragons Village, Twin Dragons Village had such a rule. As long as you were not a resident of Twin Dragons Village, you have to show the character panel if you want to enter or exit Twin Dragons Village. Regardless of players or NPCs, all had a character panel, and all could show it to others. The character panel had all information, and nothing could be faked. This could effectively prevent many players from passing off as NPCs. In fact, there were indeed a lot of players trying to enter the village disguised as NPCs these days, but they were all stopped by soldiers.
Pei Yuanqing shook his head and rubbed his sweat. He, however, was a SS grade historical NPC. How could he show his character panel to these people? Pei Yuanqing said: “Let your Village Chief come out, I will not go in. I’ve got an urgent matter to look for him, and he must reply to me in person.”
“Humph! Lord Village Chief is waiting for an honored guest. He doesn’t have time to see you.” A soldier replied.
“Is that so? Could it be that I’m not that honored guest?” Pei Yuanqing seemed to realize that Shi Hao was intentionally waiting for him and he felt somewhat happy. At least, this showed that Shi Hao was clear about his value. He wouldn’t suffer a loss here. After all, Shi Hao had even triggered his hidden recruitment mission. Pei Yuanqing wouldn’t be able to run away from Twin Dragons Village this time.
“Talking big!” A roar came from behind Pei Yuanqing. The owner of this roar was Li Yi who had the highest combat power in Twin Dragons Village now. Li Yi scolded: “Just relying on your young fair face, you can claim to be the honored guest? Do you want this Uncle to knock off your front teeth?”
Li Yi was just returning from the ‘field training’ along with a group of soldiers, and he saw a young kid who was talking big. Li Yi was a rough and crude person, and he was never polite to such a white fair kid. He liked strong and capable men.
“What, do you want to exchange moves with me?” Pei Yuanqing’s eyes shone and the corners of his mouth rose slightly as he said: “If I win, you will invite the village chief out, how about it?”
Li Yi also had such intention and replied: “Okay! I will also not bully you. Since you don’t have any gears, I will also not use any gears!”
Li Yi unequipped his gears and charged towards Pei Yuanqing without any arms. As for the result of this battle, there was no need to mention it. They both were level 10 fighters and both of them were naked. Li Yi had 30 attack, 56 defense, and 56 HP. Pei Yuanqing had 30 attack, 50 defense, and 50 HP. Looking at the stats alone, they wouldn’t be able to defeat each other. After all, their attack was not enough to break through the opponent’s defense. But Pei Yuanqing had a 5% critical-hit rate.

“Oh! I lost.” Just after a few punches, Li Yi admitted his defeat. He had no other choice. Originally, Li Yi had thought that this handsome kid was a strategist, wasn’t a fighter. But after a single punch, he knew that this handsome kid was a fighter. Only the defense of fighters could give his fists such a big rebound effect. But Li Yi was not afraid. Since both of them were fighters, he thought that they would be locked in a stalemate. He wouldn’t be defeated. But his luck was bad. Merely after a few moves, Pei Yuanqing landed a critical-hit on him. And this critical-hit made him understand and he had to admit defeat. This handsome young man should be a super powerful historical NPC. And the person Shi Hao was waiting for must be him!
“Little Brother, you are so powerful! Please come in!” Li Yi directly dismissed the two guards and brought Pei Yuanqing into the village. Li Yi, however, was a big-shot in Twin Dragons Village. Naturally, no one dared to stop him after he had spoken. Soon, Pei Yuanqing and Li Yi arrived in front of Shi Hao.
Shi Hao recognized Pei Yuanqing’s identity at a glance and said: “Little Brother Pei, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. I think you have come here to seek refuge in Twin Dragons Village this time.”
Pei Yuanqing replied: “Precisely! But I have a condition. Here onwards, the smithy and tailor shop of Twin Dragons Village must be managed by my foster father and foster mother.”
“Okay! No problem.” Naturally, Shi Hao wouldn’t refuse such a good term. Only a fool would refuse! It was like getting Pei Yuanqing and also a weapon making expert and an armor making expert. This was definitely a good script. It would be unreasonable to say no.
“Yuanqing pays respect to the lord! Yuanqing will retire first.” Pei Yuanqing left. After all, he had not seen his parents for a long time. His impatience to see his parents was self-evident. On this day, Shi Hao took Feng Tianhao to specially visit Cui Tie’s house, and instructed Wang Fu to hold a big banquet in the village, which was very lively. In addition, Shi Hao also received system’s announcements and rewards. The reward for all players that subdued the second historical NPC was a Silver Dragon Armor. Like Water Cloud Sword, Silver Dragon Armor was also an epic grade item, and it was a good item especially for fighters.
[Name: Silver Dragon Armor (Epic)]
[Level: 1]
[Defense: 30]
[Attached Skill: Silver Dragon Battle Armor, CD: 1 day, invincible for 1 second]
Shi Hao assigned Silver Dragon Armor to Pei Yuanqing. It was a good thing. Its defense was high and there was no reduction in agility. Silver Dragon Armor also displayed its greatest might in the hands of the person on the level of Pei Yuanqing. At this moment, Shi Hao’s force had already reached a new height.
It was a pity, Wu Batian on the other side suffered a headache and he didn’t understand anything. How did this happen? Why did that person named ‘Cui Yuanqing’ go to seek refuge with Twin Dragons Village? The moment Wu Batian saw ‘Cui Yuanqing’ walking into Twin Dragons Village, Wu Batian’s heart was broken into pieces. He had run all along the way to persuade ‘Cui Yuanqing’, but all was in vain. Moreover, he saw his prey jumping into other people’s bowl. It was like, a man strenuously courted a woman, but that woman ended up marrying someone else. Furthermore, he witnessed the scene of that woman entering the bridal chamber in a wedding gown. At this point, Wu Batian’s fury at Shake the Heaven and Blowing Wind Left A Scar was already enough to burn the entire world. It was obvious that Shake the Heaven was just a stupid fighter, but why was he able to beat him, Wu Batian repeatedly!
“Boss! There is no historical figure named Cui Yuanqing. But there is one named Pei Yuanqing, whose name is similar.” Wu Batian’s lackey reported back.
“Damn! Do you think this father don’t know Pei Yuanqing? He, however, is the third-greatest hero during Sui and Tang Dynasties. If he appears in >, then he will be a SS grade historical NPC, at least S grade is certain. Would such an amazing figure take the initiative to seek refuge in Twin Dragons Village? F***, do you have even a bit of IQ? You pig brain! This person is definitely not Pei Yuanqing. He is absolutely not such a high-grade historical NPC. Cui Yuanqing is at most A grade historical NPC.” Wu Batian firmly said. In fact, Wu Batian’s words weren’t not without reason. Merely, he didn’t know that Shi Hao possessed Stargazing Platform, this abnormal magic tool. Fortunately, he didn’t know, otherwise, he would not only be seeing Shi Hao and the ‘woman’ he liked ‘entering’ the bridal chamber, but he would also be sending congratulatory gifts with a smile to prevent powerful Shi Hao from being upset with him and hunt him down.
It could only be said that Wu Batian had suffered a loss and also speed up the development. If it were not for Wu Batian spending a lot of money to dispatch Li Yidao to assassin Shi Hao in the game, Wu Batian wouldn’t have jumped into Shi Hao’s stronghold. If he hadn’t been caught, then Shi Hao wouldn’t have accidentally found Tranquil Water Village. If Shi Hao hadn’t found Tranquil Water Village, then where would he obtain goods and materials to build Stargazing Platform? And without Stargazing Platform, how could Shi Hao be able to recruit a great expert like Pei Yuanqing? The source of everything was Wu Batian. However, Wu Batian’s investments had given big profits to Shi Hao. As for himself, he suffered losses. Therefore, Wu Batian was suffering a loss and also miserable, suffering a loss (Pei) in money, and miserable (Cui). No matter what, the time flowed, regardless of Shi Hao’s happy days or Wu Batian’s miserable days.
