Chapter 44: 4th Instance (part 4 of 4)

Gu Wuji successfully found Lu YuanZhou and the others.

Peng HaoCang and the others couldn’t help but feel shock the moment they saw around 10 other people who had both their hands tied. All the living people in the island are here!!

“Next, we will look for another tree house to rest in.” Gu Wuji looked at the map in his hands, “If it’s in a high place, not only will it be convenient to guard, it will also be farther away from the mist.”

“But it’s not convenient to do things with this many people.” Lu YuanZhou glanced at those people with a frown.

Those people couldn’t help but tense up, for fear that they would be killed to avoid inconveniences. There’s no need to worry or be hassled over a dead body after all.

“Let me think……”

“There’s no need for you to think.” A voice sounded out of the blue.

“Who?” Lu YuanZhou vigilantly looked pass.

The sound was accompanied by footfalls, a delicate and handsome young man soon appeared not far off. This person was surprisingly the attendant on this island, who also lead the way of Gu Wuji and the other people into this island before. He held a tray on his hand, looking at the group of people before him, but was more accurately looking towards Gu Wuji’s direction.

Everyone was momentarily startled.

“Is something the matter?” Gu Wuji queried.

“Congratulations, you have been valued by that master because of your outstanding performance.” The attendant proclaimed in an indifferent tone.

“Thank you.” Gu Wuji tentatively considered the other’s word as a form of praise towards him.

The attendant continued to say: “He had just selected you to be his prey a short while ago, to play a half a day of hunting game. If you have not been caught when the time ends, then this game will be considered as your victory.”

Gu Wuji did not have the slightest surprise in having this kind of development…… He knew that things will sooner or later reach to this point after the activation of the hidden task.

The attendant informed: “Since you have worked so hard for such a long time. The master has leniently decided to give you a period of time to rest. The hunt will officially begin at sundown.”

“Then, what about the others?” Gu Wuji queried.

The attendant couldn’t help but be rendered speechless, not expecting Gu Wuji to still have the leisure time to worry about other people. However, this guy seems to have been this kind of person right from the start.

“The other people have already lost their qualifications to hunt and can only stay to wait in this place.” The attendant’s tone became more indifferent, as if the other players were simply nothing but wastes, “All of them will be executed if you lose. But in the same manner, all of them will receive the eligibility to leave if you win.”

[Mainline task update: Awaiting for the final result of the hunting game.]

The other players who were attentively listening in to the conversation at the side were already shaken up.

What’s with this blasted development! All of their lives had now been bound to Gu Wuji like this, ah! It’s practically like an announcement of their death……

Even if Gu Wuji had managed to successfully catch all of them, making them fall to this embarrassing situation. But there’s no way he can have the strength to fight back against that boss, ah!  

“I still have a question I want to ask.” Gu Wuji brought forth once more.

“You can go ahead and say it.” The attendant stated: “The master told me that I can answer all of your questions.”

The disparity of strength between Gu Wuji and the other side was really too wide after all. Knowing all sorts of information would still be of no use at all, this was the reason why this was considered as a benevolence.

Gu Wuji took a deep breath. He fixed his gaze towards the other side, as he said in an extremely sincere tone, “I want to ask, your name.”

The attendant: “??”

Other people: “??”

Why is such a conversation similar to hitting on someone happening between this two people at this place and time, ah!

What is actually going on in Gu Wuji’s mind!

“Shouldn’t all the questions be given an answer?” Gu Wuji asked with a hint of doubt: “Or is this question of mine to inappropriate?”

“No.” The attendant faintly replied: “My name is, Zuo Yi.”

He no longer remembered how long he had last spoken these two words, that he actually fell into a slight trance.

“You have provided us a lot of help after all.” Gu Wuji said: “So I think it’s better to know your name and to also express a bit of thanks. I am really very grateful Zuo Yi xiansheng*.”

*Mister

The attendant’s words seemed a bit hurried, not knowing whether it was because Gu Wuji’s words made him feel embarrassed, as he coldly said: “If there are no other questions. I will then take my leave.”

“No problem.” Gu Wuji replied.

He no longer needed to know anything from this attendant here at the present. He will personally look for the answers on the matters pertaining to the boss.

“This is the equipment that the master is giving you.” The attendant handed the tray over, the uniform inside appeared to be of a slightly higher quality compared to the clothes before, the weapons also looked more lethal as well, in addition to a lot of tools which can be of use in the forest.

This was simply like a mockery by the boss.

Gu Wuji remained indifferent to this. But the moment he reached out to take the proffered items, he suddenly felt the other side touch his hand, which somewhat startled him internally, but he showed nothing on the surface. On the contrary, he took the thing passed over by the other side under the tray with ease.

“Alright. My task here has been completed.” The attendant spoke in a cold and formal tone, then looking back one last time, his gaze lingered on Gu Wuji for a short moment.

“I wish you luck.”

Gu Wuji looked at his departing back and nodded, clenching the thing in his palm.

“What’s the use of saying good luck?” Dai YuanFei was already ill at ease, “Even if it’s Gu-dage, there is nothing that can be done at all……”

“That might not necessarily be the case.” Gu Wuji glanced over to the other players who had been listening in right from the start, “Even if it will be a narrow escape, we can still try to expend the best of our efforts.”

“Oh?” Lu YuanZhou looked at him.

“This will naturally require a little bit of assistance from everyone.” Gu Wuji said with a gentle smile, “I believe no one would refuse this, right?”

Everyone: “……”

Why is this happening? Why do they now feel moved and feel a foreboding feeling every time they see Gu Wuji showing such an amiable and gentle smile, ah!
