The King’s Avatar Chapter 478 – A Good Lesson

Chapter 478 A Good Lesson

Let me give you a good lesson.

Deception was planning on figuring the gap between them himself, but hearing the other side speak, it seemed like he was going to directly tell him where it was. Deception suddenly felt unwilling now. He recognized that Lord Grim might be more skilled than him, but it didnt mean he was willing to take his advice. Even more so, this guy was acting as if that was the way it should be. There wasnt the slightest bit of modesty in his words.

If this wasnt the only direction he could go, Deception would have split up with him a long time ago.

No matter the circumstance, carefully observe the situation. Gathering valuable information should be the first thing you do. Ye Xiu said.

No sh*t. Deception wasnt going to take his advice.

You already know this?

Hmph...... Deception felt like this question was too stupid. He was too lazy to reply. How could he not know this? Whenever he went scrap picking, the first thing he would do was understand the situation clearly before moving. He wasnt like other scrap pickers, who just blindly charged in without any plan.

No. You dont know this. You dont even know which buildings have windows. Ye Xiu said.

That..... Deception stared dumbly. He didnt think he would go there. There was nothing he could say either. He really hadnt known about it.

Isnt it very useful to know which buildings have windows? Ye Xiu asked.

Yes.......

But you dont know.

......

Information is very important! Ye Xiu instructed.

Everything was all very sudden. I didnt have time to prepare. Deception made an excuse.

You just have to open up a map on the internet. If you dont how to even do this, then it means that youre not regarding information as important enough.

Im used to playing on full screen...... Deception himself didnt think this was a good reason.

Ha ha. Ye Xiu laughed, but didnt say anything. Deceptions ninja blade slid out slightly from its sheath, but Deception was able to stop himself.

Right now, we need to escape from these guys. Ye Xiu said.

No really? Deception had calmed down a lot. This time, these two words were just said as a sarcastic reply to the statement. There wasnt any energy behind it.

The first thing we need to do is escape from their line of sight. Ye Xiu said.

Obviously.

Do you know why we have to do this? Ye Xiu asked.

So they cant see us. Deception said.

Are you an elementary school kid? Cant your answer have a little more depth to it? Ye Xiu said.

And your question has so much depth to it. Deception remarked sarcastically.

Our goal is to not let them find us. Not letting them see us is simply to create a space which we can use to accomplish this. Ye Xiu said.

Ha ha, how deep. Deception sneered.

Then do you know where we can find such a space in our situation? Ye Xiu asked.

Uh? This question was a bit sudden. Deception had no idea.

The answer is intersections! Ye Xiu answered.

F*ck! Deception felt like he had been tricked. Once they turned around the corner, their pursuers wouldnt be able to see them. It was such a simple matter, but he just had to make the question so unnecessarily complicated, saying stuff like space......

It sounds like you dont understand what I mean. Ye Xiu sighed, What I mean is at the intersection, when our pursuers lose sight of us, theyll scatter. At a two way intersection, theyll split into two. If its a three way intersection, theyll split into three. By doing this, we peel away our pursuers layer by layer.

Oh? Deception stared blankly. By finding more intersections and making more turns, it would be easier to shed off pursuers. Deception knew about this concept, but he had never thought of why it made it easier to escape. It wasnt a difficult concept to understand, but only after understanding it was it possible to deduce many things from just this.

The intersections was just an example of space.The point of space was to make their pursuers lose sight of them in order to force them into having several options.

Understand this. You have to plan when youre escaping too. You have to make it your goal to shed off pursuers. Do you have a plan? Ye Xiu continued.

I do......

Tell me your plan. Ye Xiu said.

Head north and jump into the river. Deception said with difficulty. His plan was just a general direction. It wasnt the type of detailed plan Ye Xiu was talking about. But he had to prove that he had a plan!

Your plan isnt bad. Ye Xiu replied in a dull tone.

Okay, from this intersection onwards, follow me closely! Ye Xiu said as he made a left turn at the intersection ahead.

Deception didnt say anything. The guy talked about a bunch of theory, but would it even work? If the people behind them were their only pursuers, then Deception wouldnt need to know this theory. He would just run around in circles a few times and completely escape from them. The problem was that the people behind them were not their only pursuers. There were others elsewhere. After the pursuers behind them told them of their location, more people would gather around to their location. They might shed off a few pursuers, but more would come to fill up the gap endlessly. This was why Deception hadnt been able to break through the encirclement.

Right now he wouldnt say anything. He was going to see if this guys theory would actually work in practice.

Left turn?

There wasnt anything special about that. He knew how to make a left turn too.

Deception followed along and made a left turn.

Go in.

Right after making a left, Lord Grim immediately went into a building on the side.

This building had windows. They went through the window and out onto another street.

Deception admitted he didnt know there was a window there, but the other side was relying on an online map to know this. If he had an online map opened up, he could make the same decision too.

After going through the window, they flipped onto a tall wall.

Wilderness Town wasnt just a town with proper streets everywhere. There were small alleyways too. And with the word town in its name, it was obviously not as elaborate as a big city. In reality, most of this leveling area was in the wilderness. The town was just a small corner of the map. It was because of this that the three guilds were focused on this place. As time went on, more and more backup would arrive and escaping would become even more difficult.

Deception just followed behind Lord Grim and didnt talk, quietly experiencing their route.

It wasnt over a wide area, but there were a lot of twists to it. In addition, they werent running their fastest the entire time. In some places, Lord Grim would stop and wait.

The other side didnt say anything, so Deception wouldnt ask. But he was already able to tell that Lord Grim wasnt simply running around in circles to hide from their pursuers behind them. He was hiding from every single one of their pursuers. It was as if he knew where their enemies were.

Is that even possible? Deception was amazed.

It wasnt that Lord Grim never encountered any enemies. However, they had never fallen into a trip like Deception had fell into several times before. During these three minutes, they hadnt fought with anyone. As soon as the enemy saw them, they would immediately choose a different route, flipping over walls, going through windows, running through alleys. Their seemingly random route had goals to it. There were always options to choose from whenever an unexpected event occurred.

The concept of space wasnt just to create choices for the enemies. It was also leave choices for themselves.

Deception was beginning to understand.

However, in order to do this, having a good grasp of the terrain was crucial. This was information Deception hadnt thought was important before.

What do you think? Ye Xiu suddenly spoke.

Meh. Deception was still very stiff with his words.

But youre at least safe now. Ye Xiu said.

Is that a joke? We still havent escaped our enemys encirclement. Were still in it. Deception said.

Oh? Youve been paying attention to our pathing? Ye Xiu asked.

......

Have you already noticed that youre already out of combat? Ye Xiu asked.

Ah? Deception was surprised. He just realized that he was out of combat. He could simply log off and hed be safe.

You can log off now. Ye Xiu said.

And you?

Me? I havent thought of leaving! I still need to continue scrap picking! Ye Xiu said.

......

Youre still not going to log off? Ye Xiu glanced at Deception, Are you perhaps interested in scrap picking too?

Thats my strength! This was something Deception was confident in. If he said he was the number two scrap picker, no one would dare call themselves number one.

Youre still green. Ye Xiu disapproved.

......

It looks like I need to give you another lesson. Ye Xiu said.

Deception was about to explode from anger. Someone actually dared to give him a lesson in scrap picking. He thought it was too hilarious.

Thats not called scrap picking. What youre doing is called PKing. Deception corrected Ye Xiu.

Ha ha, in reality, its hard to avoid thinking of PKing to get items as a scrap picker. It just depends on if you have the ability to or not, which is why you can only sit and wait for an opportunity, am I right? Ye Xiu said.

Of course youre not right! To put it simply, scrap picking is a way to obtain lots of equipment quickly. If you go PKing one by one, how could that be more rewarding than scrap picking? Deception said.

Not as rewarding as scrap picking? If I go to a leveling area and kill whoever I see. In one day, do you think Ill get more equipment from PKing or do you think you would get more equipment from scrap picking? Ye Xiu asked.

You...... PKing all day, youre a demon! Deception said. He realized that with his comparison, scrap picking wasnt as rewarding as PKing. Scrap picking required waiting for an opportunity to appear. For PKing, you create your own opportunities. It was very easy to create one too. You just had to attack a person.......

Scrap picking isnt any better. PKing requires some skill at least. Ye Xiu said.

No, thats not right....... Deception argued, but he couldnt say what was wrong.

Whats wrong? Scrap picking is probably even more immoral than PKing. If nothing else, its because scrap picking is more passive. But in reality, from a wishful thinking perspective, your scrap picking is also a type of active playing, no? Your end goal is equipment, so whats the difference with PKing to get it? Ye Xiu said, Rather than being a dirty scrap picker, its better to just jump out and kill everyone.
