Chapter 475: If You Want to Hang Out, You Have to Talk About Your Background
"Although notorious, acting recklessly…"
"But at least they're long‑famed masters; any master has his own pride, before they're killed they're scared…"
"They never give up."
Su Sheng said with a smile.
"Really?" Lin Huan said, somewhat doubtful.
"You'll see when you look." Su Sheng smiled faintly. If the Gentleman Rogue Combination really cowered and stayed still in Baihu Main City, there'd be nothing he could do.
Mainly, that brother always seems a bit off‑kilter.
Actually, a normal person wouldn't set it up this way; after all, you can't leave here, you can't teleport to another Main City to grind levels.
Now Flame Yellow still lacks the ability to directly seal the gates of the four Main Cities.
"Can't get out, brother."
"They actually blocked all the City Gates."
At this moment, the Gentleman Rogue Combination was not far from a City Gate, staying in stealth and watching the Flame Yellow members sealing the gate.
"What do we do, brother?"
"Hide inside the city?"
"But that feels a bit embarrassing, and I want to level up."
"Brother, we can't beat Mo Wen Qianchen, but the other Flame Yellow members we can take easily."
"Let's pick a City Gate where Mo Wen Qianchen isn't and break out."
"I agree, brother."
Although they'd already dropped two levels, both times they were caught off guard and took it lightly.
The first time, they didn't expect Flame Yellow to already be in a strict formation, and Mo Wen Qianchen was also lurking in the shadows.
In fact, Su Sheng had been solo‑farming quests among the crowd, but those two guys killed all day yesterday, so Su Sheng never showed up; they subconsciously ignored his presence.
The second time, they never imagined Flame Yellow would chase them to Baihu Main City and kill them, and even learned they were settled in Baihu Main City.
So they were resentful about both deaths!
They still want to try!
After circling the four City Gates, they chose a gate where Mo Wen Qianchen wasn't and began stealthily approaching.
Only…
At this point the City Gate had only a double‑person passage; both entrance and exit allowed only two people side by side, and the gate was crowded with many players waiting to "watch the drama."
Although they were stealthily closing in, the surroundings were packed, leaving them virtually no space to stay hidden.
Extremely awkward.
"Who's that? Don't push me."
Because there was no room left, a player who was already cramped saw a gap on the side and walked over.
That spot happened to be where one of the Gentleman Rogue Combination was stealthing; seeing the player collide, he instinctively tried to dodge, since stealth isn't invisibility—it has a collision volume.
But he forgot there were people on the side too, leaving no room to dodge.
So it seems…
"Why are you pushing me?"
"I'm not pushing you; isn't there still space in the middle?"
"Ah, no!"
The two noisy players suddenly realized.
There's someone in the middle gap!
But they can't see!
Stealth assassin!!
At this moment still…
"Flame Yellow's, there's a stealth one here!"
Immediately, one of the players shouted excitedly.
Bang~
A Detection Arrow exploded above.
Sure enough, Shenshiaorengfeng was squeezed in the middle.
Unfortunately, that spot was still a Safety Zone, so Flame Yellow's members couldn't attack him.
Although the Detection Arrow deals no damage, it can't be used inside a Safety Zone; however, from within effective range it can be fired from outside into the zone.
Even though this is still a Safety Zone, the Detection Arrow still detonated overhead.
The ones in charge of this area were Ten Court Yanluo's Zhang Qinghai and Lin Musen.
Zhang Qinghai looked at Shenshiaorengfeng squeezed in the middle and couldn't help but find it funny.
"Haha! Liu Mu, pay attention, the gentleman is here, the rogue is probably not far."
Lin Musen nodded, "I know."
"Humph…"
Shenshiaorengfeng's face turned sour; his stealth had been busted, and he felt so aggrieved.
"Brother, let's go."
"Alright!"
Not far behind, Lioumangmiaorenfeng also appeared.
Since we've been discovered, we won't break out through the City Gate.
After all, the two of them are assassins and aren't good at frontal charges.
Moreover, facing thousands of Yanhuang players, they don't have Su Sheng's ability to charge head‑on and force a breakout!
But as they were leaving, Shenshiaorengfeng silently glanced twice at the two players who had exposed him.
"We're finished; they won't hold a grudge against us, right?"
"Haha, what are you questioning? It's a hundred‑percent certainty."
"No, brother… why does it seem like you're not worried at all?"
"Worried? Why would we be worried?"
"Because we've been hated by those two notorious guys."
"Hehe…" One of the players grinned, revealing his Hidden Nickname.
"Whoa… God‑like player! Then I'm finished," the other player said with a sorrowful face.
"My condolences, but I recommend you settle in a different Main City. Zhuque City, where Yanhuang is, is nice; now Yanhuang and those two oddballs are completely at odds, so they probably won't go to Zhuque City under normal circumstances," the player who revealed his Hidden Nickname patted the other on the shoulder.
Their gaze was somewhat sympathetic… This guy has no Hidden Nickname, so Shenshiaorengfeng likely just noted his nickname directly.
The facts prove that when you're out there without any background, you still have to keep something hidden… To survive, you need to talk about your background.
"I thank you…" The player wanted to cry but couldn't.
It turned out that the nickname displayed above the player who first hid his nickname was… Shen Xiao!
Huanyu Deputy President not doing his work, just came to eat melon?
Huanyu Deputy President naturally isn't worried about the Gentleman Rogue Combination's grudge, especially since there was a hot list in the gaming circle earlier today!
Huanyu Deputy President… Shen Xiao! Successfully switched to a Hidden Class!
For Huanyu, a Hidden Class doesn't need to be concealed; publishing it can even boost Huanyu's prestige a bit…
Mainly because… Yanhuang was the first to establish a guild in the Zhu Lu competition, not Huanyu; moreover, as everyone knows, Yanhuang has quite a few Hidden Classes.
Many have started questioning Huanyu's position as the top guild, especially after Huanyu lost to Yanhuang in the Battle for the Tripod.
But Huanyu's relationship with Yanhuang was already good, and Huanyu wouldn't just sit idle to prove itself by pulling Yanhuang into a fight.
It seems that, regarding Hidden Classes, Huanyu can just announce them to gain a bit of reputation.
As for why Shen Xiao is here… it's not just to eat melon… though stopping by to eat some melon is still fine.
Although the Gentleman Rogue Combination abandoned the City Gate, Zhang Qinghai and Lin Musen remained vigilant; after reporting the situation upward, they still stayed on guard.
No one knows whether those two oddballs will pull a reverse ambush.
