Dominating the Pugilistic World With My Detective Skills - Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Know Yourself And Your Enemy

The instant March’s female companion appeared, she attracted the gazes of the three males.

This wasn’t because the young lady was extremely beautiful. After all, every player had the chance to alter their figures and appearance slightly before they entered the game.

The percentage of alteration couldn’t exceed 30%. So, although it wasn’t enough to change an auntie into a young woman, it was able to allow a normal-looking player to turn into a pretty lady or a handsome man.

Under this condition, there were no ugly ladies in the game.

Those slightly prettier ladies were able to turn themselves in goddesses, lolitas, sexy queens, cute and innocent… and many more.

If this young lady was just pretty, it wasn’t enough to move the hearts of these three men who had been in the game for a while.

What attracted them was the special pure and clean aura the lady was exuding.

With the help of this aura, this young lady, who was already beautiful, looked like a goddess that came down from heaven. One could only look at her from afar but couldn’t touch her.

Yet, because of this, the damage she caused was even greater.

March looked at funny expressions of her three male friends who couldn’t shift their gaze away from her friend but were trying their best to prevent their true intentions from getting exposed for the sake of their ego. She immediately understood what they were thinking and rolled her eyes at Ye Weiming. She coughed and the three men got startled simultaneously. She opened her mouth and introduced, “This is a good sister of mine, Transparent Sky Bridge. Don’t just think that she’s pretty. She’s very powerful too. Well, at least she’s stronger than me.”

March said that Transparent Sky Bridge was stronger than her but the group didn’t put much importance to that.

Among all the people here, the person she interacted the most with was Ye Weiming. They had worked together once when they were still in the novice village. At that time, he felt that her capability was just alright. It had been some time since they met so no one knew how powerful she was now.

Since she didn’t even have a clear idea of her own ability, it was hard to predict how much stronger she meant when she said that the other lady was stronger than her.

But beautiful ladies had certain privileges, especially when no prices needed to be paid. Everyone gave some face and complimented the lady. Then Ye Weiming and Fei Yu introduced Tang Sancai and Youyou to the other two ladies.

“The eldest senior brother and the eldest senior sister of the Tang Clan!” After hearing the introduction, March’s eyes lit up. She looked at the two people in admiration and said, “I didn’t expect both of you to join your clan so early. In that case, Little Bridge is the eldest senior sister of the Ancient Tomb Sect too!”

Huh?

Did she think that the eldest senior brother and the eldest senior sister was ranked based on the time of entering the clan?

Fei Yu had been looking for an opportunity to create trouble so he grabbed this chance and explained, “Junior Sister March, what you said isn’t right. Brother Sancai and Lady Youyou aren’t among the first batch of students to enter the Tang Clan. The players from Tang Clan are willing to admit their status because they are the strongest. This is the pugilistic world. Your status is decided by your ability.”

Then he looked at Ye Weiming provokingly. Anyone could understand his intention without it being spoken.

Ye Weiming found it a little funny that this fellow was so persistent over the status of the eldest senior brother. However, on the surface, he just nodded at the other party.

Fei Yu felt a little puzzled by Ye Weiming’s reaction.

Come on!

I’m challenging your status, brother!

Why are you nodding at me with a kind smile? Do you agree with what I say?

Wait!

Fei Yu remembered Tang Sancai’s opinion of Ye Weiming’s ability so he changed his initial plan. “Actually, ability doesn’t purely mean who is better at fighting. We have to see who has a better ability to handle affairs.”

Then he continued in a slightly proud tone, “Let’s use this mission as an instance. Before I came, I had already gone to the Fuwei Escort Agency to do some investigation, and I have received some first-hand information.”

This fellow asked everyone to meet at the inn but he went to do an investigation on his own instead.

His actions didn’t match with what he said but no one could say he did the wrong thing. After all, everyone agreed to make preparations alone and no one said that they couldn’t do investigation during the preparation.

However, this was enough to prove how determined he was to get the leader position of this mission!

Ye Weiming didn’t care about titles like the eldest senior brother. What he was really concerned about was the rewards for the mission.

He wanted to get as many rewards as possible, but he believed in himself more than other people.

Hence, he wouldn’t give up the leader role of this mission so easily.

He asked everyone to sit down before raising his hand to signal to Fei Yu. “Please explain.”

Everyone sat down. Fei Yu looked at the food remains on the table and felt unhappy. However, he didn’t complain. He went directly to the main topic. “Now, many players have gathered around the Fuwei Escort Agency. All of them received a mission from a mysterious person to kill anyone that comes out from the Fuwei Escort Agency. For every person they kill, they will get 5 Gold. The EXP and the cultivation points are calculated later!”

Tang Sancai added, “The NPC that gave this mission wore black clothes and covered his face. There’s no way to identify him. I tried to use the Tang Clan’s mystic technique to check his level, and found out that he is a level 25 NPC. The name that was displayed was Man In Black.”

“That means that…” Fei Yu took over the conversation and analyzed, “The enemy we are facing has a huge number of players in his hands. We don’t know how powerful these players are either. At the same time, he’s at least a level 25 NPC. However, I feel that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Since this mission is a six-star mission, it won’t be as easy as it looks.”

Ye Weiming nodded lightly and continued for Fei Yu, “Speaking of it, I have gathered some information on this mission too. I hope all of you won’t be frightened when I say it.”

Fei Yu scoffed and said with disdain, “We are all masters among the players. We won’t be frightened.”

Yu Canghai nodded and continued immediately, “Based on the information I have, the mastermind behind the murders at the Fuwei Escort Agency is Yu Canghai!”

Tang Sancai asked curiously, “Yu Canghai? Who is he?”

“Yu Canghai is the leader of the Green City Clan. His capability is not much weaker than the leader of the Mount Hua Sect, Yue Buqun. He is a famous character in the pugilistic world.” This time, Ye Weiming didn’t keep people guessing. He repeated the information he received from Yin Bukui after deleting some background information that had nothing to do with this mission.

Basically, the Fuwei Escort Agency had an ultimate kung fu called ‘Bixie Swordplay’. Normally, having an ultimate manual was a good thing. But the problem was, no one in the Fuwei Escort Agency managed to master this ultimate kung fu. The entire escort agency was filled with the sons of XXX and XXX——Cai Bi (which means weaklings in Chinese). In the pugilistic world, this was like a young child holding a gold ingot. It was understandable how the Fuwei Escort Agency became the prey of some ambitious people.

Among all the ambitious people, Yu Canghai was just the early bird who was the first to act and create trouble.

However, to the players, at this current stage, this early bird was a scary presence that they couldn’t defeat.

After hearing Ye Weiming’s information, Fei Yu frowned and asked, “Are you a fan of the original novel?”

For an instant, everyone’s gaze landed on Ye Weiming’s face. They had the same thought.

Ye Weiming just gave an ambiguous smile and changed the topic directly, “It doesn’t matter where the source of my information is from. What we need to discuss is how to complete this mission.”

“Sun Tze once said: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.”

“Let’s not talk about our understanding of our enemy. All of us met for the first time so we don’t even know about ourselves.”

“Hence, I suggest that we find a place to exchange blows so that we can have a clear understanding of each other’s ability. This will allow us to easily come up with tactics, right?”
