Shouting in the clan channel required money!

10 Gold wasn’t a small amount of money for the players currently. Since Ye Weiming entered the game, he never had any huge expenses but he only managed to save up 20 Gold.

Poached Spicy Pork Slice had four other friends, so the money they had saved should be more than what Ye Weiming had. However, it was impossible for them to spend their money anyhow.

Mind you, all the players in ‘Eternal Justice’ started at the same starting point. There was no place for them to top up money.

If she spent 10 Gold on buying items, it was nothing to be astounded about. However, she used 10 Gold to shout in the clan channel. This was too luxurious of a way to use money. At least until now, Ye Weiming hadn’t seen anyone spending their money so wantonly before.

But, Poached Spicy Pork Slice did it.

She spent 10 Gold to tell the entire clan that Youyou had the Zhuge Celestial Bow. This altercation wasn’t on the level of harming others to benefit herself anymore. It had escalated to a whole new level of harming herself to harm others!

But, Youyou had never done anything to incur such actions. Instead, they were the ones who harmed her in the first place. But, they still played such an act. It was basically announcing that they wouldn’t let her go until the very end. It was no wonder Youyou was so furious.

Ye Weiming calculated the time and frowned unconsciously. “There’s no use in being angry now. We will be facing a large number of disciples from the Tang Clan riding their horse carriages over to Hangzhou in order to surround and capture you. Even when you reach the Tang Clan…”

“There won’t be any problem once I’m inside the Tang Clan.” Youyou shook her head. “As long as I step inside my clan, the elite NPCs from my clan will come and welcome me naturally. If someone attacked me there, the punishment for them will be as serious as the punishment for me losing the Zhuge Celestial Bow. Ye Weiming, this has nothing to do with you…”

Ye Weiming waved his hand and interrupted her directly, “If you feel that we’re friends, stop being so stubborn. Listen to me. We will first do this…”

…

After parting with Youyou, Ye Weiming executed the ‘Eight Step Chasing Toad’, quickly returning to Hangzhou city. Along the way, he met many disciples from the Tang Clan. However, those players knew that Youyou was a female player so they didn’t stop Ye Weiming.

He maintained his high speed and circled around the city. Then, Ye Weiming went back using the same route while carrying the items he bought inside the city. He secretly dashed into a small forest not far away from the West Gate of the city.

“Will your plan really work?” Youyou still felt a little worried when she saw Ye Weiming coming back. Just now, she followed Ye Weiming’s instructions and went to circle around the four gates of Hangzhou. She attracted a few hundred players from the Tang Clan and they quickly started surrounding her and chasing her. Fortunately, she ran away fast enough. She had learned how to make use of the surroundings to get rid of her enemies when she was training to be a special forces soldier. The training did really help her to escape from her opponent’s blockage. If she didn’t undergo the training, she might have already been dead by now.

“I have seen your movement techniques before. You shouldn’t have a problem getting rid of the pursuers.” Ye Weiming smiled. He passed a set of light green clothing he had bought at the tailor shop and the beheading blade that Chen Ming dropped to Youyou. In return, Youyou gave the crossbow from the Tang Clan, which she had been using all these while, to Ye Weiming.

Then, the two of them started changing their attire.

Youyou changed into light green clothing. She looked like a female swordsman when she wore it. It was very different from the tight dark-colored clothes she was wearing before. Now, she looked like a beautiful female swordsman while carrying a beheading blade. The image was a little strange.

As for Ye Weiming, he changed into a set of clothing that looked similar to the black sexy attire Youyou was wearing before this. Of course, this set was for males. In the game, you couldn’t dress up as a female even if you wanted to. The system wouldn’t allow it.

After changing into the tight black attire, Ye Weiming carried the crossbow in his hand and placed a bamboo hat on his head. From the exterior, he looked like a disciple of the Tang Clan. However…

Youyou raised her head and inspected Ye Weiming from head to toe. Looking at the whole getup, She couldn’t help but laugh. “You still look like a man.”

“It’s alright. I have these.” As he spoke, Ye Weiming took out two white steamed buns and stuffed them under his clothes at his chest area, one on each side. With the buns in, he looked much more voluptuous.

Youyou: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ…

You can play like this?

“Haha, if they look at me closely, they will definitely notice something is wrong. But don’t worry, I don’t plan to give them a chance to get near me.” Ye Weiming said confidently, “Time is tight. Your mission now is to go to Lung Ching Village at your fastest speed using the route I gave you. When you arrive, take one of the horse carriages there and go back to your Tang Clan.”

Before Youyou could reply, he had already started rushing towards the West Gate of the Hangzhou City.

Youyou’s voice sounded behind him. “Ye Weiming, no matter what happened today, I will remember your help!”

…

Before Ye Weiming could go near the city gate, a few hundred players gushed out of the city and started rushing towards him.

What? Did you say that they would have a higher rate of success if they laid an ambush inside the city?

However, don’t forget that there was only one Zhuge Celestial Bow. If they collaborated with one another, who would take the Zhuge Celestial Bow when it dropped?

Thus, it was natural for the situation to turn out like this. Every player had to rely on their own skills, and the strongest would get the reward.

The moment he saw the players in the city gushing out, Ye Weiming quickly turned around and ran away. The fellows behind him got even more excited when they saw him escaping. If that person wasn’t guilty, why would he run away?

“Take note to flank her and surround her from the sides. Don’t let her get away!”

“Hmph, the Zhuge Celestial Bow is fated to be mine!”

…

Suddenly, someone among the crowd noticed that there was something amiss. “Why do I feel that that fellow’s appearance seems a little weird?”

Another person replied immediately, “She’s just trying to disguise herself, hoping to slip past our eyes.”

“That’s right!” Someone agreed with the person and continued,” Don’t think that just because you’re wearing a bamboo hat, I can’t recognize you. Brothers, the person with the strongest ability will take the Zhuge Celestial Bow!”

Why did he say brothers and not brothers and sisters?

That was because in ‘Eternal Justice’, many players didn’t have their IDs displayed above their heads. If you wanted to know the real name of a player, you could only do so by inviting them into your team or adding them as your friend. The other way was to see the face.

However, there were many players in the Tang Clan. How many of them really knew Youyou’s appearance?

Thus, more than 90% of the players chasing Youyou were males. Their goal of the hunt was to kill any female Tang Clan disciples they saw.

The first bunch of unlucky female players included Poached Spicy Pork Slice and her four friends, who released the news of Youyou to them. They were just waiting outside the city to watch a good show, but…

Let’s mourn for them for three seconds…

After half a day of searching and killing, no female Tang Clan disciples dared to come to Hangzhou anymore.

Ye Weiming didn’t have the professional combat skills of Youyou. When he was chased by the hundred people, he could only run helplessly. Nevertheless, he still had his own advantage; his speed was a notch higher than a normal player.

It was still the starting stage of the game so the cultivation a player could have after entering their clan was limited. Most players would choose to increase their internal energy and kung fu skills first. These two combat skills could increase their combat ability directly. Who would bear to spend a few hundred cultivation points on lightness kung fu?

Ye Weiming had the same thought too. When he decided to increase his ‘Eight Step Chasing Toad’ to level three, it was because the levels of his internal energy and sword skill were high enough. The 800 cultivation points couldn’t raise the level of these two sections anymore.

Ye Weiming ran away!

A huge bunch of Tang Clan players chased after him!

…

At first, Ye Weiming was still able to suppress his speed until it was on par with his pursuers. However, because of the path he took, his pursuers were slowly starting to surround him. Thus, he had no choice but to speed up.

At first, he was afraid that someone would notice something was odd. However, after listening to the loud discussions of the players behind him, the worries in his heart disappeared.

“Why is she able to run so fast? Did we make a mistake?”

“No way! Don’t forget that she just completed the first blood for killing Chen Ming. Chen Ming wasn’t just the person we had to find for our clan’s mission. He was wanted by the local authorities too. She should have around 700 cultivation points after gaining the reward for killing the boss and completing the wanted mission. That 700 points is enough for her to increase her lightness kung fu level by two levels!”

Ye Weiming couldn’t help but give this brother a thumbs up when he heard the conversation.

He was a professional at coming up with stories!

At this moment, Youyou was rushing towards Lung Ching Village.
