Virtual World: Close Combat Mage Chapter 83-84

Young Master Han nodded his head, “And then, he’ll return into the valley after cutting you down. It’s because he’s certain that a Priest isn’t his only ambusher. He’ll expect more people to be lying in wait for him.”

“Uhmm… What do I do, then?” Vast Lushness asked.

“Retreat. Leave this valley by a few hundred meters. Set your men up somewhere halfway back to Yueye City. Find members whom he has never met before. Finally, don’t wear your guild’s emblem,” Young Master Han gave a detailed advice.

“There’re no grinding spots at the halfway point from here to the city. It won’t be easy assigning people there!” Vast Lushness exclaimed.

“What has that got to do with anything?” Young Master Han smiled, “As long as he sees no ambushers around, he’ll boldly exit the valley. That’s when you call for people to block the valley entrance. As long as he can’t find a way back inside, his new coordinates will be displayed in five minutes. He still has several hours left, so where else can he run off to?”

“Oh, yeah! I totally forgot about the coordinates refreshing every five minutes,” Vast Lushness slapped her forehead, as she sheepishly explained to Young Master Han, “It’s because his coordinates have remained the same for hours.”

Young Master Han laughed politely, “It’s not too late to remember about the coordinates now.”

“Let’s do it your way, then!” Vast Lushness decided, “Thanks for your advice!”

“Don’t worry about it. We’ve the same target, after all,” Young Master Han said.

“Right. How many levels do you need to drop him for your mission?” Vast Lushness asked.

“It’s flexible. We’re rewarded for every level he drops,” Young Master Han lied smoothly.

“You’ll have a huge payout, then!” Vast Lushness laughed, “We’re totally killing him back to zero.”

“That’s wonderful!” Young Master Han exclaimed in fake delight.

In no time at all, Blue Ease and the other members of Past Deeds Guild gathered once more outside Youye Valley.

“What’s the matter, Lushness?” Blue Ease asked as he hurried over.

“We can’t keep waiting for him like this.”

Vast Lushness began to lay out the plan Young Master Han had suggested to her, “Everyone here who hasn’t met that Mage, head to this halfway mark once you get the signal and intercept 27149.”

“The rest of you, block the entrance once he exits the valley.”

“Wait a second!” Young Master Han suddenly interrupted.

“What’s the matter?” Vast Lushness looked at him.

“Did all of you guys pick up the ‘Bounty Mission’ for 27149?” Young Master Han asked as he gestured to all of them.

“Of course!” Vast Lushness answered.

Young Master Han laughed bitterly, “If a guy who has taken up the mission kills him, 27149 will automatically be sent to jail. How do you guys plan to drop him back to level 0, then?”

“Ah!” Vast Lushness once again slapped her forehead, “I forgot about that part, too. How annoying! I was very impulsive back then.”

“Maybe some here already have a different ‘Bounty Mission’, so they didn’t pick up the one for that guy,” Blue Ease said.

“Is there anyone here who didn’t pick up the ‘Bounty Mission’ for that Mage?” Vast Lushness asked aloud.

No one replied. Past Deeds was too united. Even those who had originally not picked it up finished their ‘Bounty Mission’ at hand to take the ‘Bounty Mission’ for 27149. It had already been more than three hours since then.

All members no longer had their original ‘Bounty Mission’ and had long changed their target to 27149, putting all their effort to the guild.

Since the system had set a rule that a ‘Bounty Mission’ could not be canceled unless the target cleared off all the PK points or was imprisoned, all of them were stuck to their current mission.

“Is there someone here who has just gotten online?!” Vast Lushness changed her question.

“It’s no use. Even if there’re some like that here, I’m afraid that just a few players won’t be able to deal with that guy,” Young Master Han said, “The mission-takers can’t participate in killing him, as they will just end up sending 27149 to jail.”

“So what do we do?” Vast Lushness asked him.

Young Master Han sighed deeply, “Looks like my group can’t slack off for this mission. We’ll help you guys out, then!” Young Master Han visibly showed his despondence.

“Really?”

“Yes. I’m the only one in my mercenary group to take up the mission. I’m a Priest, so I won’t be needed in the frontline,” Young Master Han explained.

“See, everyone? They’re what I call professionals. We need to learn more from these people,” Vast Lushness lectured her guild members.

“In this case, we’ll leave the task of blocking the valley entrance to you guys while we do the actual killing. How does that sound to you?” Young Master Han asked.

“Great,” Vast Lushness vigorously nodded her head.

“Tell your people not to attack that guy when they see him. I’m worried that they’ll end up killing him off after we significantly lower his HP,” Young Master Han reminded.

Vast Lushness immediately passed the instruction to her people.

“Oh, right. Have someone man the underground prison to prevent 27149 from turning himself in,” Young Master Han said, “It’ll be impossible to trace him once he leaves the prison after doing his stint inside. It’s convenient when we have his coordinates like now, so we don’t want this advantage to disappear.”

Vast Lushness quickly nodded her head and delegated the necessary manpower to the task, “Guys, head to the underground prison to block its entrance once 27149’s coordinates start to move. There’s no need to fight with him. Warriors will just tank1 his attacks, and the Priests will heal the Warriors.”

All nodded their heads.

“Did we leave anything out?” Young Master Han thought aloud.

Blue Ease raised his hand, “I’ve something to ask.”

“Speak.”

“Can I know who you guys are?” Blue Ease asked.

“Oh, I forgot to introduce them,” Vast Lushness was the one who spoke, “These guys specially made their way from Yunduan City to hunt down 27149; Young Master Han and his lackeys.”

Lackeys! The four entangled among themselves for the third time.
