Chapter 589
He could no longer be bothered to read his book further; his bottle also tipped and his food spilled onto the ground as Gu Fei's students demonstrated a verve that he had trouble handling . Pitting himself against these youngsters, he felt as if he were already an old man .
"Sir…"
"Sir…"
"Sir…"
Their questions were still flowing without end, and the lack of having a public channel for Gu Fei to shout over and address all his students at once made him feel as if he was about to go insane from anger .
"Everyone, one at a time . " Gu Fei repeated this line eighty times, but all the students thought themselves as the 'one', so their questions kept coming .
Besides going offline, he simply could not think of any way to escape from this harassment; he packed up all his things in a hurry and sprinted down the safe zone . Meanwhile, even though Glue and the other two players had seen Gu Fei depart, the three men were not in the least bit careless . Seeing how sensitive Flame Singed Clothes was after having experienced misfortune twice under explicable circumstances, all of them opted to stay in the safety of the spawn point and continued to play Landlord . In the end, they all got quite the fright when they witnessed Gu Fei dashing to the safe zone like a mad man, but before anyone could even utter a word, they watched as that man merely nodded his head to acknowledge the three of them and logged off immediately .
The three men's eyes sparkled . Just what sort of even greater expert could there be that could hunt Thousand Miles Drunk down until he was in such a state? They could hardly wait to find out . Dropping their cards, these men dashed right to the entrance, but all of them saw that it was deserted outside, save for a few random passersby that did not exude even a bit of an expert's air .
The three were stunned for quite a time before turning to stare at where Gu Fei had vanished – utterly confused again .
Gu Fei did not log off for good, though . Merely faking going offline, he logged back on soon after; this time, however, he appeared offline . The good thing about going online without appearing to be online was that his name would not light up, and the system would not announce to everyone on his friends list that he had logged on, letting him slowly contact his students by his volition . Thinking about how he and his students would equally have plenty of time for the coming month, Gu Fei had no choice but to engage in this cold war .
Glue and the others were really confused when they saw Gu Fei log on anew with a flash of white light five minutes later . The three were dumbfounded even as Gu Fei smiled at these men and began sending his messages .
"He probably had an urgent call from nature…" Flame Singled Clothes suggested .
"Oh, yeah . Probably…" Having rushed to get offline for five minutes like that, there really was nothing else they could think of that could cause such a reaction .
Gu Fei originally did not wish to message Ah Fa as that twerp, who had previously betrayed him, was not worthy of trust . But a quick sweep of the IGNs made Gu Fei realize he was having difficulties matching their names to their faces, so he had no choice but to contact Ah Fa after standing there in a daze for quite some time .
"Don't tell the others that I'm actually online; otherwise, you can forget about clearing your physical education grade next semester!" Gu Fei first threatened, for there was no way he would feel assured without intimidating that kid .
Apparently, Ah Fa did not realize that his teacher was a principled person, for the boy nearly pissed himself in extreme fright, hastily expressing himself, "Sir, it's not my fault! Your name just flashed, and everyone saw it . "
"I've been on for quite some time; why did you guys come looking for me only at 2 AM?" He found this to be very strange . There was no way that his students had just gotten online at 2 AM .
"Oh . We have a few classmates that came to play today as well, and all of us went to carry them . Everyone's gotten tired after playing the whole night, so we thought to ask you, sir, and play for a while," Ah Fa explained .
Gu Fei was very embarrassed . He realized that he had really come down with a bout of Protagonist Syndrome, believing that his students would immediately seek to contact him when they got online . However, the fact was that he and his students would always have an age and professional difference – a generational gap that the MMO game might dilute, which could not be eliminated completely in this sort of fully simulated environment . Adding the fact that both parties in this scenario knew each other in real life, the result meant that the dynamics they had were imported entirely right into the game .
Evidently, none of these kids would really treat him like one of their bosom friends, and today's incident was a great example of that . When the whole lot of them was done playing for the day and was feeling tired, they suddenly saw someone appear in their friends list and were then reminded that their teacher Gu Fei was in this game as well .
Most of the comments the students made to him were requests for coin, equipment, or to be carried while questing . Some even wanted him to perform for them . In summary, they were all just seeking him for fun!
"This bunch of brats!" Gu Fei did not know if he should be laughing or crying .
"Sir, are you in Baishi City? How do we get there?" Ah Fa again sent this question .
Having made sense of all that, Gu Fei more or less knew that, while these students were voicing their desire to visit Baishi City, they were not solely intending to do so because he was there . Gu Fei was just a P . E . teacher, so their relationship with him was nothing so dear at all . Thus, he replied, "What are you guys coming over to Baishi City for?" Gu Fei already decided that if that brat replied with 'to see you', he would ensure to give him a great time next semester .
Sure enough, that youngster did not have anything so complex, as Ah Fa came clean . "We've been playing in Yunduan City for so long, and we're thinking of changing to a different city . We heard that the various cities in-game are all different . "
"Sure enough, that "Sir, where are you? We'll tag along as well!" was no more than a convenient excuse . Gu Fei was not at all their reason for coming over .
"Well, if you're talking about Baishi City, you'll first have to pass through the Oolong Mountain Range of Yunduan City, then go through Yeguang Village of Yueye City, and walk down the main road all the way to get here," Gu Fei offered .
"Are there any dangers along the way? Some of us aren't even level 10 yet!" Ah Fa was worried .
"Hmm… Anyone under level 10 will be very safe, but anything past that…" His voice trailed off .
Ah Fa was surprised . "Why is that?"
