Chapter 371: It’s Me

At the market, Feng Bujue brushed Zen Dream off and then left with a face that showed his annoyance.
Phantom Dawn was looking at the retreating man.
“Who was that?” he asked Zen Dream, who stood next to him. “He’s daring enough to brush off one of the aces of Regulation? That’s rare to see these days.”
“How shall I put this...” Zen Dream said as he lit himself a cigarette. “He’s an interesting fella.”
“What do you mean ‘interesting’? He’s more like an aggravating madman,” Atobe-sama added snidely. This was overheard by Understanding Death. It hit him then. Suddenly alert, he asked, “Oh? This young brother from Hyotei...you also know that Feng Bujue? How is Brother Jue in combat? Can you tell?”
“What young brother from Hyotei? My ID is floating above my person, isn’t it? At the very least, I am the leader of this guild!” Atobe grumbled. “Why is this trio with a name as ridiculous as ‘Qu Ming Nan’ so popular? Why has no one heard anything about me before?”
“Who told you to borrow an actual anime character’s name and to add a ‘-sama’ after it?” Ming Zi said in a mocking tone.
“Since we’re talking about being ridiculous...your ID alone can rival the three of ours combined together,” Qu Ming said.
Zhen Nan added, “Furthermore, the reason no one knows about you is because you are too weak. If you were powerful, as shameless as your ID might be and even though you’re just 1.6 meters tall, you would have been more popular.”
He suspects I am the hidden player in the second place on the ranking, so he came to probe and find out.
Therefore, without hesitation, Feng Bujue opened his lips to say, “Okay, that’s me. I don’t mind you sharing that info with others in your studio, but please don’t spread it to the public.”
“This...” This sudden declaration stunned Understanding Death. Normally, the way people solved problems was linear. They would move from A to B and then to C, going step by step before reaching the conclusion at Z. The shorter the time needed during this process, the faster one’s thinking process was.
Understanding Death was not a dumb person, and he had quite a fast reflex. But he still needed some time to think things through. Feng Bujue, however, was on another planet.
Whenever Brother Jue would communicate with strangers, he didn’t want to waste time. Therefore, when the person started the conversation with A, he would answer directly and go straight to Z.
“Erm... Brother Feng, I haven’t even asked anything yet,” Understanding Death said.
“I know you plan to start with a series of twisting and turning and asking several questions before coming to the core of the reason you’re here,” Feng Bujue said as he pointed at the combat stat ranking above them. “I’m merely helping you save time.” He paused before turning to the man. “Why? Do you have something else you wish to talk to me about?”
This was a clear sign that the conversation was over.
“Hah...There’s nothing else. I do not wish to disturb you further.” Understanding Death smiled helplessly and turned around. He thought about what had just happened.
Feng Bujue, is it? Haven’t seen him before. I haven’t heard of his ID, but he didn’t sound like he was bluffing. Could he really be the second-ranking player on the combat stat ranking?
He turned back to look and saw that Brother Jue had his finger up his nose.
“This... well, Zen’s right. He’s an interesting man.” Understanding Death’s lips twitched. He did not know what to say about Feng Bujue.
