Chapter 987 - 985: Phase Passage
After logging out of the world, Gu Xi first went back to the guild to have a good rest for two days and reported the completion of the guild mission.
In the following year, Gu Xi was in a state of freedom.
Unless there was a major event like a guild war, Gu Xi could take on missions, study, or go out and play whenever he wanted.
No one bothered him at all.
As for the Sun Mage Corps that was originally promised, it had long been forgotten by everyone.
Gu Xi himself didn’t plan to join such a group.
After reporting his whereabouts, Gu Xi took the prepared small gifts and went directly to find Wang Yongshou.
Unlike Gu Xi, Wang Yongshou had his own home in Bailian City.
It was a row of villas located on the mountaintop by White Silk Lake.
The journey there was not only well-secured but also had various transportation means beyond normal people’s imagination.
Don’t be fooled by the appearance that the villa area seemed to be almost out of Bailian City, it took less than twenty minutes from the city center of Bailian City to get there.
This speed was much faster than when Gu Xi took a carriage from Chaoyang Radiance Guild to Bailian City center.
It seems that no matter where you are, there are always various ways to enjoy.
Arriving in front of Wang Yongshou’s villa, Gu Xi gently knocked on the door.
A boy around fifteen years old came to open the door.
He glanced at Gu Xi, didn’t say a word, and just let Gu Xi in.
At this time, Wang Yongshou was talking with a young man about eighteen years old.
Seeing Gu Xi arrive, Wang Yongshou also turned around and said to Gu Xi, "Brother Gu Xi, hold on a bit, I’ll finish up here quickly."
Gu Xi smiled politely at him and placed the small gifts he brought on the table at the entrance.
These small gifts were some props brought from the game, not expensive, but whether players used them in the game, or gave them to kids who couldn’t enter the game, they were decent props.
As soon as Gu Xi put down the props, several children under ten immediately ran over, eager to see what Gu Xi had brought.
This time, Gu Xi also laughed and said, "Brother Wang planning to establish your own family clan?"
"It’s not that simple. Those older ones have no talent at all; can’t do well academically, not physically strong either, even if I have suitable Purple Armor, I’m afraid they can’t inherit my expertise."
Wang Yongshou shook his head, looking somewhat helpless as he spoke.
For this response, Gu Xi didn’t really know what to say.
He couldn’t very well say that this is the normal state for most people.
Just like Gu Xi, even though he had parents, their power was only Level 3; they basically stopped supporting him after he could attend school.
In their family, they only left support for one or two favoured kids, the others were let go as they grew up.
How far a kid could grow from there was completely left to fate.
Unlike noble families, pondering over whether the children could inherit the family’s Purple Armor or follow the family’s career path.
Yeah, that’s what my family lacked.
Gu Xi got where he was purely by his own efforts.
If he had followed the family’s heritage, he might have ended up just as a Skeleton Mage.
As for the thoughts of those high-ranking noble families, Gu Xi truly didn’t understand at all.
But he could tell Wang Yongshou was showing off about his inheritance and future.
Now that Gu Xi was here to ask Wang Yongshou for help, if he wanted to boast, Gu Xi might as well play along.
After all, it’s just a few words.
Listening to this guy brag for a while at his house, Wang Yongshou finally pretended to have just remembered something.
"Oh, look at me, you came to see me and I’ve been keeping you here. Don’t worry, we’ll head out now. We’ll take my car, and it’ll be quick."
Gu Xi just smiled, not saying anything.
Sure, Wang Yongshou boasted, but when he did things, he really did them.
Just as he said, after chatting with Gu Xi for a few more moments, Wang Yongshou then brought out his own vehicle.
As a Death Knight, his vehicle was full of Death Knight style.
Pulling the vehicle were two Undead Warhorses, both covered in thick black Armor.
As the carriage emerged, Wang Yongshou started introducing it to Gu Xi.
"These two horses were my warhorses when I was below Level 5. See this one, it’s been with me for at least ten years, the other one even carried me out from the most dangerous place.
Later, they died in battle, and I didn’t send them away. I kept them to serve as saddle horses.
My superior at the time appreciated my performance and specially applied for a pass for me. Now with this carriage, it’s really convenient no matter where I go."
While speaking, Wang Yongshou invited Gu Xi to get on the carriage.
The carriage pulled by the two Undead Warhorses was a lightweight two-wheeler kind.
Usually, it could only carry one person.
Wang Yongshou made a little room, allowing Gu Xi to squeeze in directly.
Then Wang Yongshou said to Gu Xi, "Next, just keep your eyes peeled and see the other side of Bailian City that no one knows."
Before Gu Xi could say anything, he saw a flash before his eyes and a myriad of colors began to fill the surroundings.
"See? This is the most advanced Phase Passage researched over in Changzi City. Once a system is set up in the city, you can immediately appear anywhere in the city."
Before Gu Xi could ask, Wang Yongshou started explaining the situation.
At this point, Gu Xi also noticed the colorful surroundings seemed to be the result of some force distorting space and time.
Within this chaotic space and time, Wang Yongshou couldn’t control everything either; he could only say where he wanted to go, and the rest was out of his operation.
"Training Ground No. 4."
As Wang Yongshou stated his destination, Gu Xi felt a kind of pull, some special force was dragging the carriage forward.
Just with this realization, Gu Xi more or less understood what the Phase Passage was about.
All this phase, displacement, they were futile; it was simply a passage near Bailian City.
Normal people couldn’t enter; they’d be torn to shreds right away. Only those with a pass could get in and out.
But it wasn’t free to enter and leave; one had to clearly state the destination to get a pull from the target direction.
No pull? Entering means death.
Understanding this, Gu Xi suddenly lost interest in the Phase Passage.
This stuff was not as convenient as the Teleportation Skill.
The main issue was the huge energy consumption, which directly quashed any thoughts of setting one up in his own city.
