545 Chapter 545 - Helping You Get Out of Trouble (1/2)
Silver Moon did not take it to heart the first time Broken Water Arrow contacted him, because it was not the first time he had received such a message. Before, he eagerly got in touch with the other party, only to realize soon that it was nothing but an attempt to trick him into leaving the spawn point. Thankfully, the tempered Silver Moon was quick-witted and cautious enough, so he managed to scramble back into the safety of the spawn point at the last minute. That was why when he first received Broken Water Arrow's letter, Silver Moon did not particularly put much importance to it despite him reading and replying to it. He had yet to eliminate it as another attempt to entrap him.
Even when he received the second correspondence, Silver Moon remained on guard like before.
He did not receive a third letter from Broken Water Arrow, and just as he was commending himself for his good judgement, thinking that he had seen through the other party's trick and made him give it up, he received another letter from someone else by the name of Fleeting Smile, who claimed to be Broken Water Arrow's companion. This new correspondent said that he would personally make his way over to Baishi City and assist Silver Moon in his escape.
Silver Moon was not jumping for joy yet because this was not the first time someone had asked him to meet face to face either. He had met others many times before. Nonetheless, Silver Moon, who was a master of sophistry, was no small fry that could easily be duped him into leaving the spawn point.
”To actually continue corresponding with me for more than three times, how unprecedented...” Silver Moon muttered under his breath. This time, the man suddenly felt a bit of hope toward this, so he made sure to be online at the appointed time.
Not long after, he received the system prompt for a friend request from Fleeting Smile, and they officially made contact with each other upon confirmation. The other party straightforwardly stated that he was on his way to Baishi City's Knights' Barracks right now.
”I'll be waiting,” Silver Moon replied passively. It was not a lie that this ignited hope, but it was no more than 10%. The other 90% was still wariness.
”I'm here!” Silver Moon, who was waiting patiently inside the spawn point, received this message from Fleeting Smile. He immediately got up and gazed over to the entrance of the Knights' Barracks.
”Which one is you?” Silver Moon asked. This was a designated safe zone, a spawn point, and a designated log-off point. There was always plenty of foot-traffic here, so the entrance would never be empty.
”I'm waving at you,” the person replied.
Silver Moon immediately spotted a player that looked to be a Priest, frantically waving his hand. Silver Moon quickly used Appraisal on the player.
Level 36, Priest.
”F*ck!” Silver Moon cursed. He did not even bother judging his equipment and just quickly stopped his Appraisal. In MMOs, a high-level player was not necessarily someone powerful, but a powerful player had to be high-level. While there was not a significant difference between levels in Parallel World, Silver Moon simply did not believe that a noob that had yet to even advance his job class would be capable of any sort of greatness. He could no longer be bothered to pay attention to this person and was prepared to log off by now.
”Do you see me? Where are you?” Just as Silver Moon was about to leave when he actually received a message from this man.
Silver Moon glanced at this person once more and saw that he was waving his hand as he searched through the crowd. The moment his gaze locked onto where he was, he suddenly stopped.
Their eyes met, and Silver Moon did not avoid it. This person stopped waving his hand as he walked over toward him.
”Are you Silver Moon?” this man asked now that they were face-to-face with each other.
Silver Moon nodded. Since he already got recognized by this Priest, he figured that it would not hurt to see what tricks this man had up his sleeves.
”Your situation looks pretty grim, yeah?” Ye Xiaowu looked around and saw that quite a lot of players were glaring at Silver Moon with scorn. Silver Moon was already used to this by now, so he was able to completely ignore all these looks, appearing entirely unconcerned.
”No, sh*t.” If Silver Moon could still be feeling good about any of this, then he had probably lost his marbles. He did not even have the heart to fake a good mood right now.
”I'm here to help,” Ye Xiaowu said.
”Oh? And what do you intend to do?” Silver Moon calmly asked. The person who had come to meet him face-to-face before had painted a beautiful picture with his words, but the gist of his words were: 'Step outside for me first.' Once bitten twice shy; when Silver Moon heard these words a second time, he immediately cursed the ancestors of that man right in front of his face. Right now, he was ready. The moment this noob said something similar, he would gladly release a litany of curses.
”Given the current situation you're in, I don't think anyone can get you out of this place by killing their way through,” Ye Xiaowu said.
”Is that so?” Silver Moon said.
”Yeah. Probably…” Just as Silver Moon expressed his doubts, Ye Xiaowu paused as well. That was because, at this very moment, both men had subconsciously thought of the same person at the same time, and a sort of indignant and sour look was shared by the two.
Anyone will have trouble fighting their way through, but if it's that guy, he just might be able to do it…
He's just too imbalanced! Ye Xiaowu thought.
That m*th*rf*ck*r! Silver Moon first delivered the swear words and expletives he had previously prepared for Gu Fei's ancestors in his mind before he quietly waited for this person to say a word.
But Ye Xiaowu did not say anything else. Quietly taking out a scroll from his dimensional pocket, he passed it over to Silver Moon.
”What's this scroll for?” Silver Moon could not help asking.
”Teleportation Scroll,” Ye Xiaowu answered.
Silver Moon was stunned, and his mind quickly put two and two together. This was a method that he had not yet come across since he got trapped in here. Could there be a trap already set up in the destination of this Teleportation Scroll? G*d*mm*t. This must be someone Dusky Cloud has sent. To think that guy is willing to spend such an outrageous amount just to kill me...
