Chapter 190: Clear Path



As Xu Feng finally came clean and decided to be honest, mainly because he was tired of this detective kind of game, Carmen herself was stunned.

For some reason, she could sense that his words were genuine, but that was what made it confusing.

Not once had she truly displayed any potential of being an expert, but Xu Feng seemed confident in her more than she did for herself.

How was it possible?

'Is he a prophet and knows about my future?' Carmen thought to herself, before quickly brushing the idea off.

Prophet... yeah, it was mostly a scam to deceive others and let them learn what they wanted to know.

After taking a few moments to compose herself, she flashed a solemn expression and questioned, "Are you trying to recruit me in your future guild? And it's not out of some other nefarious intention?"

Xu Feng equally showed a solemn expression and nodded his head.

"That's right, I know a diamond in the rough at a glance. You just haven't met me during your earlier interactions so you stumbled quite a bit." He readily said in the most natural manner. If others were to suddenly hear what he just said, they would most definitely call him a boaster or scammer.

However, contrary to ordinary people's responses, Carmen simply smiled.

"Phew, so you are really just interested in my potential." She exclaimed, clasping her hands. "But don't say I will disappoint you when you see my actual combat style. You can retract your invitation by that time too."

"We shall see then." Xu Feng smiled, clearly thankful for his honesty, rewarding him dearly this time.

Had he chosen to continue to lie, then it was most likely over for him, or at the very least, troublesome for him to interact with her.

Meanwhile, Jeff seemed very annoyed when these two were taking their sweet time conversing regardless of his presence.

Previously, when she exited the library and attempted to head to the Mercenary Association, the street was overflowed with players, causing her quite the distress.

It was only supposed to take her a few minutes to get from the library to the association, but the result was a far cry from it.

A whopping 34 minutes was how long it took her to navigate from the crowded traffic. To make things worse, she nearly missed her stop with so many players pushing her from behind.

Meanwhile, Xu Feng merely smiled, keeping silent on the matter. Though it wasn't much of a secret as long as one opened the game forum and checked on the current news.

OneManMedia's video exploded in popularity with nearly a million views already. Many even commented on the posts, asking for him to reveal more hideout locations.

After all, the location they went to raid might not have a rare piece of equipment dropped, with many dying in the process from the rebels, they still managed to gain Uncommon equipment.

In the current stage, getting Uncommon equipment was amazing already. Not to mention, the risk was worth it once they realized these rebels killed would gain them a reputation for their respective town they started in.

Therefore, numerous players were now turning their attention to raiding the hideout.

Of course, uninterested players such as Xu Feng and Carmen were exceptions.

"Hmm, we'll need to take the East side exit but remember to stay close to me. There are tricky monsters in that side of the region, so it's best to remain alert." Jeff suddenly warned, seemingly trying to be relevant.

"Don't worry about it and just make the way for us." Xu Feng calmly responded. "Even if we do get injured somehow by them, I can easily heal Carmen to full."

"You're a healer?" Carmen exclaimed in surprise, clearly not expecting Xu Feng to be a Cleric class.

After all, Clerics are known to be in the backline, providing support to the tanks and DPS.

Their roles are important, but they were also the most unrecognizable in regard to achievement. When successful, it was not the Cleric's credit, but when it was a failure, it was definitely the Cleric's fault.

"That's right, I'm a one-of-a-kind healer." Xu Feng smiled.
