Chapter 465 - Pursuit (1/2)
Tang Rou wasn’t too busy, so when she heard Chen Guo’s request, she immediately looked it up.
Glory, sc.r.a.p picker, Deception (??????????). Apart from the first search term, Tang Rou had trouble getting the other two terms correct.1 Finally, she got the information she wanted and read it out loud.
Not just Chen Guo, Ye Xiu also straightened up to listen. Unfortunately, the results didn’t really give them any new information.
A lone operator, a ruthless sc.r.a.p picker. The information on him could be summarized with these two phrases. Most of the comments were angry complaints and curses from players who had their equipment stolen by him. Besides that, a few people thought Deception had an interesting personality and wrote some random romantic fanfiction stories of him. Tang Rou hadn’t even read the first sentence, when Chen Guo stopped her.
“It’s just a bunch of random nonsense.” Chen Guo remarked.
“Ha ha, how mysterious.” Ye Xiu commented.
“Can we catch him?” Chen Guo had almost reached the coordinates Ye Xiu had given her. She could even see Lord Grim now, but she couldn’t see Deception.
“Of course. That guy has so much stuff on him. How fast could he run?” Ye Xiu smiled.
“But I don’t see him. Do you know where he is?” Chen Guo looked towards Ye Xiu’s screen. There was no sign of Deception there either. Ye Xiu’s movements were extremely quick. He had chased Deception right after he jumped over the wall. Chen Guo had been closely watching Ye Xiu’s screen the entire time, but Ye Xiu had never seen him.
‘He’s close.” Ye Xiu was certain. Lord Grim also stopped.
“How do you know?” Chen Guo was still heading over.
“Based on his movement speed, he won’t be able to escape from my field of view.” Ye Xiu said confidently. His camera kept on turning, observing his surroundings.
“So you’re saying he’s hiding?” Chen Guo asked.
“Yeah. We have to hurry and find him.” Ye Xiu said.
“What’s the hurry?”
“He’ll be out of combat soon. If he logs out, what can we do?” Ye Xiu said.
“Oh!” Chen Guo immediately understood.
In Glory, you couldn’t log out while in battle. Turning off the power or forcefully quitting could still be done, but your character would simply sit in the game for awhile and you would naturally be turned into paste. Because of this, it would be better to hide and wait until you were out of combat before logging off. There wasn’t any problems with doing that.
“Where could he be hiding…….” Chen Guo had arrived and she looked around as well. The streets were empty. Ye Xiu could also see what was above on the rooftops from his position and there wasn’t anyone there. The only possibility left was that he was hiding in a room somewhere. This was what made town maps troublesomes. There were too many places to hide. When Chen Guo fought in these maps, she really didn’t like playing a game of cat and mouse.
‘257, 186’s room. Go check it out.” Ye Xiu looked around and then suddenly spoke.
“Hm?” Chen Guo looked in that direction.
“There’s no noise, which means there aren’t any monsters there. From the looks of it, he’s probably in somewhere in that direction.” Ye Xiu said.
“Are you afraid of startling a snake in the gra.s.s?” Chen Guo asked.
“Not at all.” Ye Xiu said.
“Okay.” Chen Guo said. Chasing Haze immediately rushed towards it as she fired her cannon. Chen Guo didn’t dare be careless. Deception wasn’t any ordinary expert.
“Careful!!” Ye Xiu suddenly warned as Chen Guo charged forward.
Chen Guo was an experienced player too. No matter the danger, it was a good option to immediately roll. She chose a random direction to roll in and just as she was about to ask what was going on, Chasing Haze was suddenly launched into the air. Deception had popped out of the ground from underneath her.
Underground Tunneling Technique!
Chen Guo immediately understood. Her random roll wasn’t able to dodge his sneak attack. Remembering how everyone who Deception had acted against died, she started getting a bit nervous. But the damage done by the Underground Tunneling Technique wasn’t anything to worry about.
