"Hmph!" Chen Guo wasn't as competitive as Tang Rou. It was only because the female character was playing the same class as she was, as well as her heroic entrance, which caught her eye, that she had jokingly asked such a question. In the end, Ye Xiu seemed certain that that female Launcher was better than she was, immediately making her depressed. She was completely capable of doing what that Launcher had done, too! Why was that Launcher better then?
"I think I'll try again." Tang Rou was clearly talking in-game.
Su Mucheng had just happened to pass by when she noticed that Tang Rou was in trouble. The trouble was now solved, but if Tang Rou continued, she would most likely fall into the same situation again. As a result, Su Mucheng had suggested that the two party up.
But Tang Rou wasn't so soft. The only reason why the situation had occurred was because she hadn't been prepared enough. She kept on aggroing them until she couldn't deal with them anymore. But now that she had a fresh start, Tang Rou felt like if she paid a bit more attention, then the situation shouldn't go as badly as before, which was why she had said to Su Mucheng that she wanted to try again by herself.
"Okay, that's fine!" Su Mucheng said and sent a smiley face. Thus, the two split up and headed in opposite directions, one heading east and the other heading west.
Tang Rou had Soft Mist run a few steps forward and stop. She stretched her neck towards Ye Xiu's screen to steal his techniques.
Ye Xiu's progress was going smoothly. He quickly found another Christmas thief and, just like before, he aggroed it without disturbing any of the other residents. Ye Xiu saw Tang Rou out of the corner of his eyes. He attacked the thief, while saying: "There's no point in looking. You won't be able to learn how to do what I'm doing in an instant."
"Why not?" Tang Rou was pondering over the method Ye Xiu had just used to avoid the monsters, when she heard Ye Xiu talk to her.
"Expert, you explain to her." Ye Xiu said to Chen Guo.
"......." Chen Guo was speechless. Usually, when someone called her an expert, she'd become happy. But being called an expert by someone who was clearly better than she was made her feel as if she had been called a noob!
Chen Guo glared at Ye Xiu, while still giving Tang Rou an explanation. She told her that Ye Xiu's methods didn't involve any special techniques, but it relied on experience and intuition, which could only be gained through time. This was something only experienced players possessed.
Tang Rou heard this and could only nod her head. As a new player, she had no way of replicating that. Just how far apart were the monster and herself? Tang Rou looked a hundred times, but couldn't tell!
Since she had no way of copying Ye Xiu, Tang Rou was forced to use her own clumsy method. If the monster seemed easy to avoid, then she'd simply go through without arousing the monster. If the monster didn't seem easy to avoid, she wouldn't risk it and would find somewhere else to go —– she was basically just wandering around the city randomly. If there was nowhere to hide and no way of easily getting through, then her only choice would be to force her way through.
Tang Rou relied on her own ability and struggled through Sin City. She found a few Christmas thieves on the way and killed them off conveniently. To her, fighting was a lot simpler than finding her way around the city.
In the end, the saddest person was Chen Guo.
She had luckily bumped into a Christmas thief at the beginning of the event, but ever since then, she hadn't encountered any others afterwards. Whenever she saw one, it was always taken away by someone else first. Chen Guo could only admire Tang Rou and Ye Xiu as they killed Christmas thieves from time to time.
