Chapter 641: Not Two but Four!

After browsing for a little bit on the forum, Feng Luo changed his view back to the game. The reason for changing back was the person he was waiting for had arrived, according to his estimation.

Lastly, Feng Luo noticed that his inbox was now filled with over 10,000 unread messages.

Once a person became famous, a lot of troublesome and annoying things would also follow. For example, inbox messages that could be sent from a stranger caused Feng Luo to completely lose interest in opening or reading them anymore.

In addition to his inbox, he also had over a hundred missed calls on his comms device.

In truth, if Feng Luo did not set his comms device setting to only receive calls from people on his friends' list, he would be flooded by calls by now.

Even if they were friends, he couldn't respond to each of the calls. After all, some of them were only people he exchanged name cards with and they weren't well-acquainted beyond that.

As such, after he got online, he set his comms device setting to "deny all communications," and finally obtained some form of peace and quiet.

"Miss Rui, if you have any requests, please do not hesitate to let me know." Wearing a cheongsam dress covered in porcelain floral patterns, a waitress led Sister Rui into the room. After speaking, the waitress left.

"Little Feng! This place of yours… Not bad at all, it's quite casual and comfy," Sister Rui said teasingly with a smile as she sat across from Feng Luo. She was wearing a white, short-sleeved suit paired with a pair of tight black pants and picked up a green porcelain teacup from the bamboo table. "But to completely shut off your comms device and run away to a relaxation club like this to drink when you're on the top of the search ranking and becoming famous overnight… Even I feel like you're wasting an amazing opportunity."

Feng Luo shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Sister Rui, don't tease me. I've been bombarded with calls and messages for over the past 24 hours. I wish it did not turn out like this."

Sister Rui took a sip from the teacup, as the sides of her lips curved slightly upward she said, "Hehe, if the people who've failed to get their fame up after countless hype attempts see or hear you complaining right now, they'd probably grit their teeth. You should know that more than 90% of the players in War wish that a day like this would come to them one day. After all, becoming a superstar player in War has much more weight than being a superstar in reality right now."

She looked at Feng Luo, her face full of curiosity, and asked, "But seriously, when did you awaken the Force? I can't believe you did not tell me either."

"It was when the Biohazard Crisis incident occurred. The day Mu Zi and the others went to explore the abandoned underground ruin." To Sister Rui, Feng Luo never tried to hide this, and Mr. X's confidential clause did not specify this particular issue.

"That means… Did you awaken the Force earlier than Invikill? Okay, now I truly understand what is a true low profile…" Sister Rui put down the teacup and shook her head, a little baffled.

"Alright, Sister Rui, stop complimenting me… The reason I'm here today is actually about the pet biochip." Feng Luo steered the conversation back on the main topic.

The reason he went to see Sister Rui was because of the items he gained during the expedition.

The Nine-Star Guild agreed that all items obtained during the mission belonged to the individual. In this mission, as one of the players who made it until the end, in addition to being the only long-range player who managed to get his hands on three core items, he had killed a lot of people during the mission.

According to the rules, he obtained a lot of items, not to mention the most searched item throughout the entire forum, the "Boss Biochip" was also in his possession.

Of course, the best way to deal with these things was to leave it to Sister Rui, who will be able to deal with them through the Huan Yu Company. After selling these items off in an auction, he would have enough to fill the 500 million credits gap that Old John needed to get the production equipment. There might be even more credits left over.

"You're prepared to hand that Quasi-Boss pet biochip to me to auction off? Little Feng, you had better think this through." Unexpectedly, Sister Rui did not seem delighted after hearing Feng Luo's words. Instead, she stared very seriously at him when she spoke.

"Although the auction will likely get you the maximum monetary return, I think that many large guilds and other factions, even large financial conglomerates, would personally contact you to purchase it. If you sold it to them, apart from monetary gains, you might even gain connections. Connections with these people might be even more valuable than mere credits…" Sister Rui sounded very cautious and serious when she said this.

The reason the North City players did not clear the bases was that at the moment, War only had five Quasi-Boss Grade pet biochips.

Among the five biochips, Feng Luo had two of them, in addition to the one Boss-Grade pet biochip that he had.

As for the other three, one was with Red Queen and one was with a superstar Machine Gunner. It was obvious that neither of these two would not be auctioning them off.

As for the last piece, it was in the hands of a Rebel Army camp player. It was probably obtained while the Rebel Army team was clearing the bases.

As such, most of the rich and powerful who had their eyes on the pet biochip were now focused on Feng Luo since he owned three incredibly valuable pet biochips. Many people had left him messages with a proposed price.

In this situation, even if Feng Luo did not go through an auction house, he would still be able to get a pretty decent sum.

More importantly, he could also gain a strong network of connections through these chips. Those who were capable enough to purchase these chips were not your average players or factions. Connections and relationships with these people would be incredibly useful in the future.

"No need, just auction them off." Feng Luo simply shook his head.

The reason he chose to go the auction path was so he could maximize his profit and ensure that his funding for the Legendary-Grade item production equipment. Earlier, he had already asked those who he was friends with on whether any of them wanted to go through the "backdoor" to buy from him the Boss-Grade pet biochip.

Phoenix had Jelly, so she did not need it. Digital Cat never really cared about pets. As for Big Pineapple, who was easily captivated by wealth and money, he also chose to decline the offer.

At the current juncture, the price of a Quasi-Boss pet biochip was too high. It was much higher than a piece of Legendary-Grade equipment. While Big Pineapple was money-hungry, he did not think it was fair to take advantage of Feng Luo like this.

Secondly, Big Pineapple took part in the enemy baiting mission arranged by the Nine-Star Guild, he took part in escorting the core device back to the military ship, as well as the final battle against the pirate captain where he was a key contributor. The Nine Star-Guild had promised to sell a Quasi-Boss Grade pet biochip to him at half the cost of the original price once they were able to produce Quasi-Boss pet biochips.

As such, Big Pineapple was in no hurry to get this Quasi-Boss grade pet biochip when he could wait for a cheaper one.

Apart from Big Pineapple, Feng Luo also asked Onishi and Zhao Yun. Both of them were strong enough and did not have a powerful pet with them yet, making them people who were looking for a pet biochip.

However, Onishi also declined the offer after a brief moment of silence.

As for Zhao Yun, he initially said "Yes, I want it. I want it, but I'm lacking cash lately," with a sheepish smile. In the end, he also said that he would wait for Nine-Star Guild's promised Quasi-Boss grade pet biochip and told Feng Luo to not consider reserving them for him.

As for the other people who also had a good relationship with Feng Luo, they could not afford to own this Quasi-Boss pet biochip. After all, it was not a simple matter of a few tens of millions of credits.

Concerning creating a good relationship with some of the major guilds or factions, Feng Luo did not even consider this.

"Alright, then, an auction may be good then…" After hearing Feng Luo's explanations, Sister Rui nodded.

"But that Boss pet biochip, you're using it for yourself, right? This means that it'll be only two Quasi-Boss pet biochips, right? I'll check with the company HQ and use them as the finale items in a mega auction that we'll be holding a few days from now," Sister Rui said while looking at Feng Luo.

Since the Huan Yu Company had the Permanent Enhancement Potion supplied by Feng Luo, the company had stabilized its position as one of the best auction houses in Storm City. When compared to Starry Sky Company that entered the market first and occupied a large market share, they were not all that weaker.

However, as a signature old company, the Starry Sky Company still had a slight advantage. They somehow managed to get their hands on a Quasi-Boss biochip from somewhere earlier. Just two days ago, they used it as a finale item in a mega auction when Feng Luo's group was still in the exploration mission. It completely tilted and silenced Huan Yu's previous momentum.

Now, Feng Luo's two Quasi-Boss pet biochips were going to assist Huan Yu in their upcoming mega auction.

"No, not two, but four." Feng Luo smiled and uttered a sentence that shook Sister Rui.

Chapter 642: Starry Sky Company's Big Purchase

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Four?" After Feng Luo spoke, Sister Rui could not hide the look of shock that appeared on her face.

Feng Luo nodded and said, "Yes, four. Three Quasi-Boss pet biochips and one Boss pet biochip."

"Three Quasi-Boss chips, but didn't they say on the forum that you only have two…?" Sister Rui stared at Feng Luo with her light blue eyes, remember, Sister Rui is of mixed race. [1]

"I was lucky and got one more Quasi-Boss biochip at the end," Feng Luo answered.

The North City Sniper player's Quasi-Boss biochip was probably obtained from killing a member of the Rebel Army camp, who probably obtained the chip while clearing the other bases.

After all, when the Rebel Army was clearing the other bases, some Quasi-Boss biochips were bound to have dropped and obtained by some players.

From the shocking number of battle loot that appeared after killing the Sniper, one could tell how many people the Sniper had already killed because there was a Quasi-Boss biochip in his possession.

However, in the end, greed got to this North City Sniper. He wanted to take the Boss biochip for himself and he paid a very heavy price when he made it easy for Feng Luo to turn the tables in his favor.

Nonetheless, it was clear that the Sniper did not speak up about the situation, as none of the players on the forum knew that Feng Luo had another Quasi-Boss pet biochip in his possession.

"Since it's like this, with three Quasi-Boss biochips… You have half of the spoils from this mission with you, and this is not including the Boss biochip that you have. Little Feng, are you sure you want to also auction off this Boss biochip? If it's the finale, the three Quasi-Boss biochips are already more than enough." Sister Rui suddenly realized, but she continued to stare suspiciously at Feng Luo. "Aren't you reserving the Boss biochip for yourself? This is the first Boss-Grade pet biochip in War, after all."

"No, I won't use it. I don't need this chip," Feng Luo said and shook his head.

Feng Luo's words hinted at this information, and naturally, Sister Rui immediately understood and reacted.

She couldn't help but breathe in lightly before asking a follow-up question, "Little Feng, does this mean that the speculations on the forum are real? That your pet is already Boss-Grade?"

"Yes, it is from the Beetle Temple that we encountered back when we took part in Lu Conglomerate's ruin exploration mission…" Feng Luo said with a smile and nodded his head.

"Right… Your luck is quite something. To have a Boss-Grade pet… and to keep a low profile that no one noticed and no one can confirm, even now… That's just…" After hearing Feng Luo's brief explanation, Sister Rui could only shake her head and laugh.

"This means that the Boss biochip's price might not be as shocking as one would imagine," Sister Rui said.

Concerning potential clients wanting to purchase this Boss biochip, apart from it being a Boss-Grade pet biochip, but the title of being "The First" was also one of the important reasons that it was so coveted by many.

At the moment, if they knew that they couldn't get the title of being the first to own the first Boss Grade pet in War, even after buying this biochip through the auction, some might not even bother trying to get it anymore.

"Yes, that might affect it somewhat. However, 24K's situation is unique. Average players aren't able to detect its grade, as long as I don't admit to it before the auction, then the effects won't be felt. Besides, even if 24K's grade is discovered, that won't be too much of a problem. This Boss-Grade pet biochip can still be promoted as the first Boss-Grade biochip." Feng Luo smiled and suggested an idea. "I can say that it was upgraded and evolved to Boss-Grade through its cultivation and growth. After all, some people have already evolved their pet to the Quasi-Boss Grade. That explanation of evolving my pet to the Boss Grade will work."

"That's a plausible idea," Sister Rui said with a smile.

Even Sister Rui was looking forward to finding out how much the "First Boss-Grade Pet Biochip in War" would fetch in an auction.

Without a shred of doubt, this pet biochip was going to break the record for the single most expensive item in the entire game. The Huan Yu Company was also hoping to push the price even higher, as much as they could.

"When you went to the abandoned ruin, the final item at Starry Sky's auction, the Quasi-Boss biochip, was sold at 950 million credits. This is the result of them conducting the auction hastily even when it was certain that you lot were guaranteed to obtain Quasi-Boss Grade biochips in the exploration mission. As a result of that, many VIP clients used that as a chance to observe rather than partake in the bidding. Otherwise, the price would be higher. It might even break the record of the first Legendary-Grade item that we auctioned last time," Sister Rui said suddenly.

"950 million? That is quite a good price." Feng Luo was rather surprised after hearing the amount.

In reality, for many of the interplanetary large conglomerates of the Galactic Era, expenses under 100 million Star Coins were not even worth mentioning because this was only a game and the pet biochips were things that would ultimately depreciate. A price near one billion was quite terrifying.

Most importantly, if a Quasi-Boss Grade biochip costs almost one billion credits, then what about the price for a Boss-Grade biochip?

"Five billion. Half a month ago, Starry Sky Company offered the price of five billion credits to purchase the first Boss biochip. Of course, considering the current situation, that price is low. The auction price will certainly be higher," Sister Rui said, looking at Feng Luo.

She was saying this to let Feng Luo know that Starry Sky's offer was quite attractive. If it were an average player, they might go the safe route and directly sell the chip to the Starry Sky Company and get the 500 Star Coins in their pocket directly.

Sister Rui revealed this piece of info to Feng Luo because she wanted to let him know that she was 100% confident that the Boss biochip would fetch more than five billion credits, equivalent to 500 million Star Coins.

"Five billion, huh? That's a really big number," Feng Luo lamented.

For a person whose livelihood was to kill daily, an asset of over 100 million was something that was completely out of reach. However, right now, in War, a game that was had zero hazards that once-upon-a-time pipedream was now almost within his reach, and it has only been a few short months.

The power of an all-nation, all-citizen, game to create wealth was so strong that he was very surprised.

"But this Boss biochip isn't entirely mine. During the auction, I'll have to trouble you to help me prepare a larger suite room," Feng Luo said to Sister Rui after suddenly remembering that fact.

To be precise, the Boss-Grade pet biochip did not belong solely to him. It was something that belonged to all eight other people who entered the main central base.

Since Feng Luo's losses suffered and his overall contribution to getting that biochip was the absolute highest amongst the group, the biochip was left with him to sell. The other seven players agreed to leave it to him to handle things.

In truth, concerning the distribution of the spoils for the Boss biochip, the Nine-Star Guild higher-ups even had a conflict of their own.

The item was just too valuable. For the Nine-Star Guild, it was tough to let it go. Some of them believed that they should get 50% of the profit related to the chip while some believed it should be 90%. However, Zi Wei's opinion was that they should follow their previous agreement, that stated to all who participated in the mission that apart from the core equipment, all other battle drops and spoils would belong to the person who obtained it. The Nine-Star Guild would keep their promise, no matter how much it pained them.

Both sides kept arguing and in the end, it was the quiet Sword Ki Long River who stood up and mentioned that if not for Feng Luo and a few others who stepped up to protect the core device at the end of the mission, the Nine-Star Guild might have failed the mission altogether.

After this was brought up, the others from Nine-Star Guild could no longer keep up their argument.

As such, the final decision was that Feng Luo had full authority on how the biochip should be handled.

Chapter 643: Another Surprise for Sister Rui

"Yes, just give me a list of names, then I'll make the necessary arrangements for you," Sister Rui said and nodded.

"Alright. Oh, I almost forgot. Apart from the four Boss-Grade and Quasi-Boss Grade pet biochips, I also have around 30 Commander-Grade pet biochips and over 200 Elite-Grade pet biochips, if Huan Yu Company needs it, I can also leave it with you," Feng Luo nodded and said, dropping another bombshell of Sister Rui.

"That many?" Sister Rui's light blue eyes widened in surprise once more.

Although Feng Luo told her earlier that due to the rules of the mission, he obtained many items from other players at the end in addition to all of the items he earned by himself, she never would have imagined that Feng Luo would have so many pet biochips in his hands.

"Commander-Grade chips are worth around two million credits each. Elite-Grade biochips are worth around 100,000 credits each. If you add them all up, that's around 100 million credits right there. Little Feng, your earnings in this one day-long mission is already higher than my annual income," Sister Rui said as she lamented.

"They're worth so much?" However, after hearing Sister Rui's explanation, it was Feng Luo who was surprised.

Now that the Rebel Army camp had missions that allowed players to obtain a Commander-Grade pet biochip, a Commander-Grade pet biochip's market value had gone down to only millions of credits, and Elite-Grade pet biochips were only a few tens of thousands of credits.

However, Sister Rui was estimating the price of these "Low Class" chips of his at double the price.

"Yes. Little Feng, as a participant, it looks like you did not pay attention to what happened after the mission, did you? I finally managed to see you show a surprised expression," Sister Rui said with a laugh. "After the expedition ended, not everyone left. Some players were left on the island, right?"

"Yeah, there were some." Feng Luo nodded, it was certain that some players stayed behind.

As the window of time for them to leave the island after the sun rose was only 20 minutes. However, the players on the island were very scattered during battles. As such, it was natural for some of them to not be able to get back in time.

Besides, due to their feud with the Rebel Army pirates, because they were in a location far away from the Federation's territory, the Nine-Star Guild military ship could not stay at that location until the afternoon to ensure that they brought everyone along, and was why some players were left behind.

In reality, it was not only Storm City, but there were also some people from North City as well as from the Rebel Army camp who were left behind.

Due to the "Biohazard Crisis" created by Feng Luo, the number of Rebel Army camp players left behind was quite high.

"After you all left, some of the people left on the island discovered a large horde of monsters within the main central base in the abandoned ruin. Among them, there was also a Quasi-Boss monster. While the drop rate of biochips from killing these monsters was incredibly low, all the new monsters could enter into contracts." Sister Rui then turned on her terminal, found an article from one of the hottest posts, and zoomed in to show it to Feng Luo.

"So that's how it is." Feng Luo had not seen that post before. Concerning the aftermath of the mission, he did not care at all. As such, he only understood it now.

After the exploration mission was over, the Devil Tri-Horn Fog Island was turned into a "Pet Map" by the system.

By taking on some missions, players would be able to reach the island, and monsters on the island would still drop pet biochips, but the drop rate had become unbelievably low, almost as low as the pet biochip drop rate of killing Monsters controlled by members of the Rebel Army.

However, the monsters on the island had become monsters that could be bound by "contracts" with players.

In truth, this event did not have much of an impact on most players.

However, concerning the bunch of pet biochips Feng Luo had in his possession, the event had helped increase their value.

Since all the biochips were dropped from the monsters on the island, as a result, the biochips, when used on monsters that dropped the biochip, had an almost 100% chance of creating a successful contract.

As for pet biochips obtained through other missions, it was quite difficult to find a monster with such a high success rate. If the biochip was used and the control or contract binding procedure failed, it would mean wasting the biochip itself.

As such, getting a pet was not simply about getting the biochip, if one were unlucky, one might not even get a pet even after using several pet biochip pieces.

From this alone, one could easily tell that the pet biochips that almost guaranteed a 100% success rate would boast a higher price.

"Moreover, from the info on the forum, the monsters on the abandoned ruin were quite powerful. Each of them was unique, and for players who liked unique pets, they were also quite attractive. As a result, the price for one of these was going to be higher than a normal pet biochip," explained Sister Rui.

"That's true…" Feng Luo nodded.

There were only ten types of monsters on the island. They were the Hypertoxic Chameleons that had their own "stealth mode," the Python Flower that possessed traits of both plants and animals, the Overlord Earthworm that could "petrify" their targets… Apart from the self-destructive Rock Balls that were a bit of a joke, the rest could be said to be a lot stronger than normal monsters.

If it was not for the fact that dropped biochips were in the "damaged" status and needed to be repaired, many players might have already taken the chance to use them as pets immediately.

Now, after knowing that the island had become a pet map, it was a given that many players would head there to catch pets after purchasing the pet biochips.

"In reality, Little Feng, if you're not in a hurry, I believe that we can put these Commander-Grade biochips inside the safe for some time. Since many people are probably going to sell these in Storm City in the coming days, this will inherently lower the price a little," Sister Rui said.

After Sister Rui's reminder, an idea occurred to Feng Luo. Then, he nodded and said, "Alright, if that's the case, then I'll preserve some of the chips. Perhaps they can be used elsewhere."

"Oh, that's right, apart from the biochips, Lin also asked me to hand these to you. By the time your auction is underway, mass production of the potions you see here should already be possible." After that, Feng Luo pulled a silver box out of his inventory and opened it. Inside the opened box, there were over a dozen potions of varied colors.

Intrigued, Sister Rui picked up one of the potions, an Intermediate Evolution Virus Buff Potion, from the box, and after looking at the stats, said, "The stats of this buff potion is quite decent. It's comparable to the B-Grade Buff Potion that we can get in some of the missions. These are going to be popular among the people who don't lack money. If you can mass produce it, we'll also include them as one of the main promotion contents in our next auction."

After that, she lamented and said, "But it is, after all, just a temporary buff potion. No matter how good the price, it will not be comparable to the Beginner Permanent Enhancement Potion from last time. What a pity, it is because we can now exchange the T-Virus potion that the Permanent Enhancement Potion's market value has dropped to less than one-tenth of its original by now."

"But that's inevitable. The game company wouldn't continue to let us earn easy money like that," Feng Luo said in agreement. He then pointed to two purple potions isolated on one side of the box and said, "But apart from the buff potion, perhaps these potions can temporarily make up the losses on those Permanent Enhancement Potions."

Sister Rui's eyes lit up. She knew from Feng Luo's words that he was implying something. As such, she looked expectantly at the purple potions and asked, "Oh… Little Feng, from what you just said… Could it be that your NPC genius partner has created another type of mega potion?"

Sister Rui's pitch went up an octave as she exclaimed in delight, "This… It is the rare potion that grants a person the Force temporarily!"

Sister Rui was delightfully surprised. No matter what grade the buff potion was at, nothing would entice or attract players right now more than the purple "Quasi Force Potions" in front of her right now.

It allowed players to possess the Force for a certain period, and the effect was very highly anticipated.

In particular, for players who owned Legendary-Grade items, there was no way they were going to let this opportunity pass.

The number of Legendary-Grade items in the game was quite high by then. However, one of the strongest characteristics of their gear, the bonus skill, was unusable to them. For all of these players who did not lack money, not only would the Force Potion temporarily grant them the chance to experience the real strength and potential of their Legendary-Grade item, but it would also allow them to significantly increase their strength at crucial moments.

With that alone, even though the Quasi Force Potion was a consumable item that granted a temporary boost and as such, its price could not be compared to the Permanent Enhancement Potion, its appeal to top-class players was right up there.

"Oh, that's right. In one of the battles, by lending the strength of the Force Potions, we managed to defeat the North City players' ambush with half their numbers. There's also a video of this on the forum. This could be used as promotional content. Also, in the second base, one of my friends managed to get a Quasi-Boss pet biochip after using the bonus skill of the Legendary-Grade item activated by the Force Potion… I think that by using these two videos as the promotion content, we'll be able to entice the hearts of a lot of people," Feng Luo suggested.

When Red Queen surrounded herself in a ring of golden fireballs and bombarded the sea of flowers from long range, that scene alone was the embodiment of magnificence, and it was much better than any sort of advertisement.

The thread that contained the video was also one of the top three threads in the manipulator's branch forum section.

"Right. Sister Rui? Why are you staring at me?" Feng Luo found Sister Rui staring directly at his face with a gentle smile after he finished speaking.

"Little Feng, why don't you come over to Huan Yu and help us plan… Your talent in marketing and branding seems just as good as your talent in fighting," Sister Rui teased him with a laugh.

"Hah, Sister Rui, you should stop praising me. I know full-well where I stand," Feng Luo replied, shaking his head while smiling.

Concerning the promotion method of the Boss biochip and the Force Potion, it was true that he had thought about it beforehand and had conjured up these two marketing and promotion plans.

However, even though it should be effective, for a large company like Huan Yu that had the backing of a large financial group and had a top marketing and planning team, he was certain that even if he did not say anything, they would most likely still do an amazing job, and probably a lot better than what he had suggested too. As such, Sister Rui was mostly just joking and teasing him.

"That's right, Sister Rui. I also have these gears. I'll also need your assistance in putting them on the auctioned item list." Feng Luo suddenly remembered and took out over a dozen gears and equipment from his inventory and placed them on the table between the two of them.

They were the battle loot from the island, all of them came from the top-class players of North City.

Every single one of the items on the table was top notch. They were good enough to be sold at an auction.

More importantly…

"There are Legendary-Grade items! And there are two of them!" After seeing the stats of two of the items, Sister Rui could not help herself as she lost her composure once more.

While the number of Legendary-Grade items was increasing, it was only in a relative sense. Even including those that were not known, the total number of Legendary-Grade items in Storm City should still be less than 200.

For the Huan Yu Company's upcoming auction, they mobilized their resources in various major cities and their target was to get 15 pieces of Legendary-Grade equipment and use them as one of the key highlights of the auction.

At the moment, there was still a gap and they had not yet reached their target. However, with Feng Luo providing these two items, the gap had now been filled.

With this, Sister Rui, who had still been agonizing over this issue just a while ago, no longer felt that she was under any pressure.

"It's also dropped by that Sniper. When he sees it on the auction later, he'll probably feel quite depressed," Feng Luo said with a laugh.

At the current juncture, with Legendary-Grade items being so rare, operations or missions that involved and gathered the top players of two main cities, who owned a great number of Legendary-Grade items, into one location would most likely never appear again.

If it were not for the special rules of the mission, getting two Legendary-Grade items by killing someone was practically impossible.

As such, the North City Sniper player gave Feng Luo a big gift.

However, it was a pity that the two Legendary-Grade items were a pair of warrior's combat boots and a set of manipulator's energy gloves. None of the two were for the gunner profession.

Although Feng Luo chose the Light Armor Warrior as his second profession and could technically use that combat boots, the stats of the combat boots did not suit him.

Moreover, after the auction, with the fund for purchasing the Legendary-Grade production equipment fully raised, he could get Old John to make custom-made warrior equipment set for him soon, so there was no need to keep this pair.

"Oh, that's right, Sister Rui, if there are any Legendary-Grade gears or any rare items with good stats that suit a gunner in this auction, do keep an eye out on them for me," Feng Luo said to Sister Rui.

"Sure, that's fine. I was still agonizing over the fact that we had too few Legendary-Grade gears for this auction just a while ago. Little Feng, you've given me a huge gift," Sister Rui said with a smile and a nod.

After that, the two spoke about details regarding the potions and the auction before Sister Rui left.

As the representative of the Huan Yu Company in Storm City, she had too many things to handle over the past few days, and it had been a long time since she last went on a mission with Feng Luo and his group.

After Sister Rui left, Feng Luo sat there for a while before he finally chose to turn on the comms device he had kept switched off for a day.

Immediately after he turned it on, a communication request came in.

"You have a communication request…"

However, when Feng Luo saw the one making the request, he paused for a brief moment, it was because the person was… Black Rose.

Chapter 644: Lonely Star Galaxy

Inside a private restaurant located on a high floor of a commercial building within Storm City, Black Rose smiled and led Feng Luo into the private vintage-style classy dining room. "Mr. Feng, the NPC chef of this private restaurant is amazing. Although it's inside a game, I can't help but come here to have a meal. I've come here specifically for a meal a few times already."

As the two entered the room, in front of a gold sandalwood table, a not very handsome but very masculine man wearing a set of well-ironed tailor shirt stood up and smiled. "Mr. Feng, greetings. I've heard a lot about you. I'm Lonely Star Galaxy."

Feng Luo shook the hand of the male player. "Hello, Guild Leader Star Galaxy."

Lonely Star Galaxy, this ID name would be unfamiliar for most players of Storm City. However, players from Silvermoon City would probably have heard of it before.

The guild leader of Silvermoon City's oldest signature guild, Veterans Tribe, in terms of status, he was at the same level as Roaring Dragon Mercenary Guild's Roaring Dragon Invincible.

However, that was in the past.

Now, Silvermoon City had become the Rebel Army's territory, and Roaring Dragon Light Wind controlled the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group. Whether it was Lonely Star Galaxy or Roaring Dragon Invincible, they were now at the bottom of their careers.

"Mr. Feng, I've always wanted to thank you for helping us during the Biohazard Crisis mission. However, I've been busy dealing with things related to Silvermoon City as well as the guild war against Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group over the past few days. I finally got some time to visit Storm City recently and found the time to also invite you for a meal. However, I also want to congratulate you on obtaining the first-ever Boss pet biochip and on becoming the second player in War to awaken the Force. We can only watch you from afar, and we do admire your feats," Lonely Star Galaxy said with a smile; however, when he spoke, he humbled himself and lowered his status.

"Guild Leader Star Galaxy, you're praising me too much. I'm just a little luckier. Unlike you, even without financial backing from financial groups, you still managed to bring Veterans Tribe to such an amazing level," Feng Luo said, in a congratulatory tone, to Lonely Star Galaxy.

Veterans Tribe had been a dominant force inside Silvermoon City. The only reason Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group was able to catch up later was that the Veterans Tribe guild continued to decline investments from financial conglomerates and large companies in the real world.

Otherwise, the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group might not be able to defeat Veterans Tribe.

On this, many people thought that it was worthy of praise.

"Haha… Mr. Feng, please, do take a seat." After hearing Feng Luo's praise, Lonely Star Galaxy's expression changed slightly. He recovered his smile and gestured for Feng Luo to take a seat.

Before this, while Feng Luo had worked with Veterans Tribe before, he had not had any interactions with Lonely Star Galaxy before.

However, today, Black Rose suddenly contacted him through the comms device and said that Lonely Star Galaxy was inviting him over to lunch together, as a token of appreciation for Feng Luo's help during the Biohazard Crisis mission.

Faced with an invitation like this, even though he had been avoiding and hiding from people over the past two days, he could not reject their invitation.

After Feng Luo sat down, Black Rose walked over to the other side and sat beside Lonely Star Galaxy across the table. She picked up the purple teapot on the table and poured tea for all three of them.

"When the incident in Silvermoon City occurred, I was in the midst of a profession change mission, and I was not in the city at that time. I never would have imagined that Roaring Dragon Light Wind would be so ruthless, to lead the wolf into the room and then join the Rebel Army camp after that. By the time I got back after receiving news, the guild's counterattack plan had turned into failure after a group of supposed allies betrayed us when the Rui Conglomerate intervened… Thinking back on it, we were behind Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group's plan every step of the way, we were outmatched." Lonely Star Galaxy spoke with a hate-filled glare after he sat down.

"A game is like this… There are no permanent friends, only permanent benefits. Everyone is just trying to maximize their gains… I would also like to congratulate Guild Leader Star Galaxy for succeeding in your hidden profession change," Feng Luo also lamented and looked at Lonely Star Galaxy with a slightly surprised expression.

Players completed their profession change at Level 15, and there was no way Lonely Star Galaxy was only Level 15 right now, so his profession change mission must have been because he had qualified for a hidden profession.

"There are no permanent friends, only permanent benefits… Mr. Feng, your words hit the nail straight on," Lonely Star Galaxy repeated Feng Luo's words, which was a popular saying back on Earth, and praised him with a surprised expression.

"My profession could only be regarded as half of a hidden profession. It cannot be compared at all to you, your high-level Special Agent hidden profession that is directly linked to the game's Federation Government," Lonely Star Galaxy said while shaking his head.

However, Feng Luo could still see a slight sense of pride in his eyes.

After all, getting a hidden profession was not an easy feat. To have the ability to succeed in getting a hidden profession while managing and leading a guild that was probably filled with trivial and annoying administrative work, Lonely Star Galaxy could be regarded as stronger than the one who was previously touted as the Number One Expert in Silvermoon City – Roaring Dragon Invincible. As such, it was natural that he would feel proud.

However, speaking about something that isn't nice to hear, if Lonely Star Galaxy were in front of the previous Feng Luo – the strong but not yet famous Feng Luo – a guild leader of one of the oldest signature guilds in a city like Lonely Star Galaxy, while his speaking posture and attitude would still be quite fair and not completely condescending, it would probably be just out of politeness. When facing a normal non-affiliated player, ignoring the personal mental aspects, it was natural for the one with a higher social status to speak from a higher position.

Of course, Feng Luo had now become one of the most popular people throughout the game.

In comparison, he was only the guild leader of a small guild with around a thousand members. Moreover, he was a guild leader who had lost their territories after losing to others. In comparison, his status right now was even less than before.

"I'll have to also take the blame for failing my intelligence-gathering duties. Otherwise, we wouldn't have got any data or info, even when they were approached by people from the Rui Conglomerate." Black Rose seemed a little sad.

As the Scout team captain of Veterans Tribe, she was only focused on in-game intelligence and completely oversaw things in the real world. Failure of this magnitude could not be ignored.

"Black Rose, it is not your fault. You've done good enough." Nonetheless, Lonely Star Galaxy turned around and spoke to her with a consoling expression.

It was obvious that there was something else going on between the two of them.

Due to the way Black Rose looked at Lonely Star Galaxy, it was not the heroic and prideful look comparable to men that Feng Luo used to see. Instead, there was an odd feeling to it.

It was, of course, not weird either.

Although Lonely Star Galaxy was not very handsome, he was tall and had a good build. As an ex-soldier who was also the guild leader of Veterans Tribe, it was natural that he possessed traits that one would not find in fresh and young-looking superstar players.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to win the trust and convince so many retired soldiers and army men and women to join Veterans Tribe.

However, perhaps it was a sort of misconception, but in their first meeting, even though Lonely Star Galaxy's speech and behavior were all fine and normal, Feng Luo did not feel the sense of camaraderie he felt when he first met Dan Hen. Perhaps it was due to Lonely Star Galaxy's role as the guild leader?

…

After all the formalities, the three sat down and continued to chat.

Feng Luo initially thought that Lonely Star Galaxy invited him to talk to him about the pet biochips that he needed.

Even though Feng Luo's group helped Veterans Tribe back then, Feng Luo felt that when Veterans Tribe helped attack Roaring Dragon Mercenary Guild's base, the debt had been repaid. As such, this lunch invitation was more like an excuse to meet up.

However, what surprised Feng Luo was that Lonely Star Galaxy put that topic on the side and only talked to Feng Luo about Silvermoon City and Veterans Tribe, and this also included how Dan Hen's squad and Security Door's squad were doing recently.

This made Feng Luo wonder if he had guessed wrong.

It was almost noon and a beautiful waitress NPC entered the room and asked, "Sir, can we start serving the dishes?"

Lonely Star Galaxy shook his head and said, "Not yet, please wait a moment, the guest has not arrived."

After that, he looked at Feng Luo, smiled and said, "Since it wasn't easy to find the time to visit Storm City, apart from Mr. Feng, I also invited another guest. I hope you don't mind."

"I don't mind at all." Feng Luo shook his head though his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Chapter 645: Conditions by Xiao Luo Shui

Around five minutes later, the door to the room opened and two figures walked in.

They were two female players.

The female player in front was tall, even taller than some of the male players despite wearing flat-bottomed boots. She wore a pair of purple sunglasses big enough to cover half of her face, revealing the soft snow-white skin that outlined her smooth chin.

The female player at the back was about 1.5 to 1.6 meters tall. She had shoulder-length clean-cut hair and was dressed in a yellow suit with a white short suit skirt. In her arms, she held a black laptop.

Judging from their outfits, the female player in front was the one in charge.

However, Feng Luo's gaze was fixated on the female player at the back. To him, she had a familiar face.

It was Green Plum Boiled Wine.

This female player turned out to be the very professional Storm City saleswoman from Starry Sky Company, "Green Plum Boiled Wine." She helped him pull some strings for Red Queen when he was repairing his pet biochip in Storm City.

Green Plum Boiled Wine smiled, greeting Feng Luo with her gaze when she saw him. She did not take the initiative to say anything.

Lonely Galaxy was on his feet, introducing the two of them to Feng Luo with a huge smile on his face. "Mr. Feng, let me introduce you to Chairman Xiao, the chairman of Starry Sky Company."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Feng, just call me Xiao Luo Shui." The female player wearing sunglasses stopped her tracks and extended her right arm to Feng Luo from beneath her long sleeve.

Feng Luo frowned a little but still reached out for a handshake with Xiao Luo Shui.

"Chairman Xiao, Green Plum, please have a seat. Rose, inform them to start serving the dishes," Lonely Galaxy smiled as he turned back to instruct Black Rose. He did not seem to notice the slight change in Feng Luo's expression,

Black Rose made eye contact with Feng Luo for a moment, before standing up to signal the waiters. There was a hint of awkwardness in her expression.

"So this is the real purpose …" Feng Luo stared as the pair, Chairman Xiao and the chairman assistant of the Starry Sky Company, sat on his right. He already knew what to make of the situation.

Although Lonely Galaxy's invitation was nominally to express gratitude, it was obvious he did a favor for this Chairman Xiao from Starry Sky Company, which was to ask Feng Luo out.

As for why she wanted to meet him, the title of Starry Sky Company made it self-explanatory.

Feng Luo was so sure because when he first met with Black Rose, thanks to the strings pulled by a Starry Sky salesman called Red Wine Coffee, he was able to sell a treasured "Hurricane Staff" from the Rebel Army's commander.

He could remember this so clearly for a good reason, since Black Rose also faced competition from Roaring Dragon Lightwind at the time, so Feng Luo naturally chose to sell it to the Veterans Tribe.

Of course, this was not the main point, which was that the Starry Sky salesman, Red Wine Coffee, happened to be Black Rose's cousin. Red Wine Coffee had introduced him to his friend Green Plum Boiled Wine, who then became the assistant of Chairman Xiao.

On top of that, there were a few missed calls from Green Plum Boiled Wine and Red Wine Coffee in Feng Luo's communicator system.

Since he was able to guess why Green Plum Boiled Wine and Red Wine Coffee contacted him, Feng Luo made the decision early on to hand the Hurricane Staff over to the Huan Yu Company, at the same time ignoring both their calls. However, he did not expect Starry Sky Company to go the long way around and managed to contact him through Black Rose.

However, Black Rose and Lonely Galaxy, did they not consider whether or not he would feel unhappy if they were to do this?

Feng Luo turned to look at Black Rose but realized she glanced away after every attempt to make eye contact with him, making it obvious Black Rose felt a little uncomfortable.

However, Lonely Galaxy's expressions revealed nothing, and he was still cheerfully chatting away with Xiao Luo Shui.

"Mr. Feng, it is nice to meet you. I heard the Star Galaxy Guild leader invited you for a feast, please excuse me for coming over and disturb, hope you don't mind." However, after Xiao Luo Shui, who still wore the sunglasses covering half her face, was seated, she only exchanged two lines with Lonely Galaxy before abruptly turning to Feng Luo for a conversation.

Talk about "excusing herself," Xiao Luo Shui's tone did not sound apologetic at all for disturbing, it sounded pretty flat.

In other words, she sounded like she was a cut above the rest.

"Chairman Xiao, you're too kind … I presume you came for the Boss chip?" Feng Luo's expression did not change much.

Acting pretty similarly to Xiao Luo Shui, the tone sounded a little too polite but the content of his statement sounded like he was too lazy to be polite.

"Not bad … Well, Mr. Feng, I'm not sure if you would mind handing over the Boss chip and the two Quasi-Boss chips in your hands to us, so they could be auctioned by Starry Sky?" Xiao Luo Shui did not expect Feng Luo to be so straight to the point.

However, given her status and personality, she did not usually get too polite with people anyways. Thus she nodded her head indifferently.

"I'm sorry, I already promised the Huan Yu Company," Feng Luo said and shook his head.

Xiao Luo Sui frowned.

This effectively put all side conversations to all halt. Lonely Galaxy who had been paying attention to this side of the conversation also frowned slightly.

"We will not charge you any handling fees for this auction, Mr. Feng, and we guarantee you a better job at advertising than Huan Yu. We, at Starry Sky, have the confidence to auction off this Boss chip at a higher price than Huan Yu. If you are worried, Mr. Feng, I can even directly offer you ten billion credits to purchase the Boss chip." Lonely Galaxy's eyes opened wider subconsciously at Xiao Luo Shui's next line.

"Ten billion credits!" Even Black Rose off to the side could not help but exclaim softly.

Ten billion credits, that is a billion Star Coins. To an ordinary player, this is no doubt an astronomical figure. It is enough for a lifetime's worth of squandering, even in this Galactic Era.

Previously, when Starry Sky Company offered to purchase a Boss chip with five billion credits, many thought it was just spluttered words to attract attention. Besides, not one Boss chip appeared even in light of this offer.

On top of that, it was just a virtual item in a game, would anyone pay so much for it?

Many did not believe it at all.

However, not only did Xiao Luo Shui offer to purchase upfront this time, but the price also doubled straight away.

Ten billion credits.

To be honest, even Feng Luo's heart swayed a little when he heard this sum.

Although he knew this Boss chip could be auctioned off at a high price, he honestly had not thought about if it were to be a number with more than ten digits, like ten billion credits.

Meanwhile, Xiao Luo Shui did not hesitate to offer a sky-high sum of credits within a short exchange of conversation upon meeting for the first time.

"Mr. Feng, if you are not still not satisfied, we could even make this ten billion credits the guaranteed price. If the final auction price did not exceed ten billion, we Starry Sky will top it up to the full sum, if it exceeds ten billion, then the extra sum would belong to you." Xiao Luo Shui was even more charming than what Feng Luo had imagined. Upon noticing his silence, she even boldly increased her bargaining chips.

If not for Sister Rui's words, given this condition, Feng Luo would probably have given in and agreed to it.

After all, the sincerity in this condition offered was sufficient.

Chapter 646: Decline, Leave!

"Mr. Feng, we can also auction out the T-Virus Permanent Strengthening Potion and the Thunder's Eye Sniper rifle for you at no cost, and another two items of similar types with the exact procedures. Like Huan Yu, to provide you with a variety of raw materials for manufacturing needs, in this regard, Xing Kong, with a greater market share, would have a larger say than Huan Yu." Upon noticing Feng Luo's prolonged silence, Xiao Luo Shui frowned, but hurriedly repeated what he said from before.

"Permanent Strengthening Potions, Thunder's Eye, the first mass-produced Rare-Grade Sniper Rifle." Once that line came out of Xiao Luo Shui's mouth, Black Rose and Lonely Galaxy, the two people off to the side, who just regained consciousness after being stunned from "10 billion," again revealed some shock.

Whether it was the T-virus Permanent Strengthening Potion or Thunder's Eye, it had caused quite a stir among players, many especially wanted to know who were the two players who were behind these two items.

However, Huan Yu was highly confidential about customer's information, especially about these two items that were related to their development strategy, so no one had been clear about this situation.

However, the line that Xiao Luo Shui had just mentioned was clearly stating.

Whether it was the Permanent Strengthening Potion or the Thunder's Eye, they were both related to Feng Luo, hence it was stating that the player responsible for these two items was the same person.

"Wow, I really couldn't imagine. Although I knew that Mr. Feng was running a gun shop, he was the manufacturer of Thunder's Eye and the initial Permanent Strengthening Potion was related to him as well…" Black Rose awoke from her shock, as she softly spoke.

Lonely Galaxy, who was beside her, did not say anything, after the shock in his eyes dissipate, it instead took on a new special taste. On closer inspection, this taste should be jealousy.

…

"I'm sorry… Chairman Xiao…" After a moment of silence, Feng Luo still shook his head in the end.

While the conditions that Xiao Luo Shui raised were attractive and generous. However, since he had made a promise to Sister Rui, Feng Luo would not break that contract.

Although it was extremely unpleasant, under the unspoken circumstances where it was never mentioned, the sudden attack by the Xing Kong Company was making him feel a little uncomfortable about this situation and conversation with Chairman Xiao Luo Shui.

"Mr. Feng… You can directly raise any conditions that you want, as long as you can allow us to auction off this Boss chip, we would agree to anything that was within our capabilities." Xiao Luo Shui frowned, this time he raised her hands to remove the large sunglasses from her face.

Exposing her naturally flawless face, a pair of thick drawn slender eyelashes, and with a doubtful squinting ingress eyes.

Xiao Luo Shui's appearance, after taking the sunglasses off, was indeed gorgeous. After making eye contact with her, even Feng Luo was distracted for a short while.

Lonely Galaxy, who was standing beside them was also stunned for a moment, but Black Rose, who was similarly shocked, naturally did not observe this.

Xiao Luo Shui's face was only an aspect of this well-developed technology, which was able to create a so-called perfect face with not much difficulty, especially for a game that provided plastic surgery services as well, this was easily changed.

However, one's qualities would still be unable to be forged.

Xiao Luo Shui's qualities were likened to the natural elite, where the commoners would feel ashamed of themselves after taking a look at her.

In contrast, whether it was Phoenix who was charming but becoming as cold as an ice hill after "transformation," or Sister Rui, who had the wildness of a soldier while wearing a camouflage uniform and having the look of superiority while wearing the office attires, was still slightly inferior.

"Chairman Xiao, I'm sorry. Because I have created at a contract with Huan Yu recently, I am unable to give it to Xing Kong to be auctioned off." Feng Luo stared into Xiao Luo Shui's eyes and after the two looked at each other for a few more seconds, he shook his head again.

Xiao Luo Shui was not angry, but she only continued to use her bright and clear eyes to look towards Feng Luo, as she seemed to be pondering about something. "I'm sorry, it suddenly occurred to me that there was another important thing that had to be done at once. President Xing Kong, Miss Black, I'm sorry, but I have to leave first. I sincerely apologize, next time you all come over to Storm City, I will treat everyone here."

Feng Luo suddenly raised his head and turned to look at Black Rose.

"Ah? Mr. Feng, the dishes had been served, why not finish eating first then do what you wanted to do afterward?" Black Rose was stunned for a moment, before blurting out.

"No, the task is more important, it is regarding a mission, and it needs to be settled urgently, I'm very sorry." Feng Luo shook his head, as he stood up.

"But…" Black Rose stood up, as she seemed to have something to say.

"Then, Mr. Wind, let's send you off, but you don't have to say anything. Sorry, we should be the ones who are sorry actually. You will be very busy these few days, we should not have disturbed you from the start, you being able to take out time to attend the dinner has already made us very thankful." Lonely Star stood up afterward, as he spoke with some regret, his voice was coincidentally interrupting Black Rose's dialogue.

…

"10 billion credit points… Did he not overly hesitate before rejecting this price? He even chose to leave directly after, not allowing us to re-bargain about the price… In Hound's information, he was still just a regular player who only had just a few million dollars in credit stake two months ago. Although he had gained many objects these past few days, would his total assets be exceeding 50 million Star Coins? He was able to resist the temptation of 10 billion credits?" Looking at the back view of Feng Luo leaving, Xiao Luo Shui frowned.

"Chairman Xiao, I thought that we should not have used this type of means to discuss with Mr. Feng about this." Green Plum Boiling Wine, who was holding a document file in front of her, carefully looked towards Xiao Luo Shui, who was talking to herself, as he said made this point.

"Well?" When Xiao Luo Shui turned and looked towards her, her eyelashed moved, as if she signaled Green Plum Boiling Wine to continue talking.

"Chairman Xiao, when you used to talk about business in the capital star, the people whom you faced would be businessmen as well. Therefore, we would pay attention to only the interests, and intuitively; and only mention the star currency, as long as the bargained price that was to be given was high enough, the two sides would certainly be able to conclude." Green Plum Boiling Wine took a breath, as she stared into Xiao Luo Shui's eyes, as she seemed to have made a huge decision in saying this to the chairman.

"But players like Mr. Feng are not businessmen. For them, something else is more important perhaps. For example, allowing Lonely Galaxy to invite him to dinner, then talk about forming a contract might have made him uncomfortable…" After Green Plum Boiling Wine finished talking, her heart was still beating.

To be honest, two days ago, she was still just a regular salesman in Storm City for Xing Kong Company.

Just yesterday, after meeting this Miss Xiao, who only took on the new appointment for barely a week and had an extremely powerful means to win the controlling interest of the Xing Kong Company from the founding team, was directly selected as Xiao Luo Shui's assistant.

Although this made an ordinary worker like her extremely happy, she was still a little cautious about this new chairman, who was considered by many to have some authoritarian characteristics.

"Is it?" However, after hearing the words Green Plum Boiling Wine just said, Xiao Luo Shui was, surprisingly, not angry, but instead was pondering with huge consideration.

Formerly in the capital star, because she was the most core member of the Xiao family, and the top of the main branch of the heir as well, she was usually successful in any business negotiations.

To put it bluntly, she was hardly required to conduct basic business negotiations in person before but only required to take the general direction.

When she reached the 17th Administrative Planet, it was different, especially in the family meeting where she made a bet with that person where they must produce results in the 70th Administrative Star's War, but because she was worried about finding any hiccups, she did everything by herself. "You're right, I did make some mistakes this time. Little Shadow, the reason why I chose you as my assistant, was because I have seen your experience in the company's first-line sales where there were no poor evaluations from any of your customers. You can cover the areas which I am most lacking in… in the types of areas that I am not as good in, I hope you can directly remind me."

"Yes, I can do that for you." Xiao Luo Shui thought for a while and finally sounded out, allowing Green Plum Boiling Wine to let out a huge breath, feeling relieved.

"However, since he had left immediately, it shows that his determination to give his items to Huan Yu is still very high. Even if I'm quoting a real psychological cap, I won't be able to get this Boss chip. As for how to deal with Huan Yu's auction this time, it looks like we need to return and renew the contract, place this on the agenda for tomorrow's meeting." Following that conversation, Xiao Luo Shui's face was still a little disappointed as she stated.

In Xiao Luo Shui's mind, the true value of this Boss chip was not simply just 10 billion credits.

Chapter 647: Lonely Galaxy's Ambition

"Chairman Xiao, I'm so sorry to make you wait." One minute later, Lonely Galaxy and Black Rose ran back into the room with apologetic faces.

"It's all right, Galaxy President, let's talk about what's going on between us about our Shaw consortium investing in your guild's project." Xiao Luo Shui looked at Lonely Galaxy, but her face became more serious. "I'm very optimistic about the Veterans' Tribe which is the backbone model of the retired army, compared to most of the current unions, it is disadvantageous and that the family meeting should pass your investment proposals. However, the details would not be known until the outcome is discussed. Therefore, you need to hand over the detailed plan to my assistant as soon as possible. I hope that you would be able to give it to her by tomorrow at the latest."

"Well, Xiao Luo Shui, don't worry, we have almost completed our preparation." After hearing this sentence from Xiao Luo Shui, Lonely Galaxy's eyes sparkled with joy as he immediately replied.

Is the Veteran's Tribe is preparing to obtain Xiao Family's investment?

This is obviously why the Lonely Galaxy's face was a little strange when Feng Luo was convincing the Veteran's Tribe that they were not going to be invested by the consortium.

At the same time, it was the reason why Lonely Galaxy would invite Feng Luo to come forward on behalf of Xing Kong company.

Following that, Lonely Galaxy and Black Rose were trying to entertain Xiao Luo Shui as good hosts.

…

"Galaxy… Did you decide to introduce a capital injection from Xiao's family? However, there will be a lot of veteran people in the Guild who would be against it." After waiting until Xiao Luo Shui and her assistant left, Black Rose glanced at Lonely Galaxy who was staring at the back view of Xiao Luo Shui as his facial expression suggested a little hesitation.

"Don't worry, Rose… With the financial funds of the Top 10 ranking Xiao family capital injection, and with the great potential of our Veteran Tribe itself, we would not be inferior to the Anti-RDMG Alliance who just joined the Rebel Army, it will not be long before our lost stuff can be brought back… There's even a chance to develop into a super guild that would not inferior to the Nine-Star Guild." Compared to Black Rose's worries, Lonely Galaxy who had negotiated the injection of capital had a look of "ambition" flash in his eyes.

"As for the inevitable opposition from members of the guild, I am sure more people will understand. Before this, we did not like to be bound and disliked their creation of the base industry controlled by a group of people through money even more. Even if it is the Anti-RDMG, no one would wish for outsiders to inject investments."

"But now? Because of the Anti-RDMG Alliance, we have even lost the Guild Base, everyone's loss is extremely great, and many people have chosen to withdraw from the Guild, and even joined the Anti-RDMG Alliance," Black Rose said.

"In this case, it is necessary to introduce a consortium capital injection if you want to maintain the guild and one day get something back. If you want to make a deal with the Rei Group supported by the Anti-RDMG Alliance, the introduction of the Xiao family's capital injection is even more necessary." Lonely Galaxy's eyes revealed determination.

"The Veteran Tribe was originally set up on my own, so why has it always been influenced by the opinions of others? I don't care about money, I need fame, What I need one day is to let my name be seen by people in the game, to hear… just like this Feng Luo… No, it should be stronger than him!" The next two sentences were not sounded out by Lonely Galaxy but instead was the passion sparkled from his eyes, and shouted from within his heart.

"But…" Black Rose wanted to say something else.

"Don't worry, Rose. Even if we are not successful at that time or kicked out of the game by the Xiao family, we can just be separate players, traveling together in the game and exploring all kinds of beautiful maps. That is one of the things that I yearn for very much."

"Good…" Black Rose originally had a look of worry in her eyes but the worries were all melted by the Lonely Galaxy's warm gaze as he turned, all of his heroics were combined into that final sweet and soft voice.

…

On the other side, Green Plum Boiled Wine was sitting together with Xiao Luo Shui in a suspended private luxury flying car and opened her communication instrument.

"Cousin, what's the matter, has that kid agreed to give us the Boss chip to auction off?" On the suspension interface of the transmitter pop-up, Xiao Shao, who was not very comfortable-looking, asked with an urgent tone. "I know you originally failed in an agent stealth transfer, so you would have ill-feelings against this Feng Zhi Luo Ye, but I hope that you would not bring in your personal feelings during work."

Xiao Luoshuo first frowned, then sounded, "No, he said he had reached a contract with Huan Yu, he did not even agree to give it to us after I offered 10 billion credit points!"

"10 billion credit points? 1 billion star coins and he still didn't agree? This guy has got to be having his brain stuck at the door. How disgraceful is he?" Young Master Gou, who was beside Xiao Shao, had a face filled with disbelief as he angrily said.

"…"

Xiao Shuoluo's face opposite the communicator turned in the direction of Young Master Gou as his sights sunk.

"Yes, I'm sorry, it's a bad habit… Well, Miss Luo Shui, 10 billion credit points, aren't you raising it too high?" Young Master Gou's face turned slightly pale, as he gently asked.

"It is true, Cousin Luo Shui, although Gou sounded a little uncouth, I do have some doubts. 10 billion credit points to take a virtual game chip, isn't this price a little too high?" Looking at the face of Xiao Luo Shui in the communication instrument, Xiao Shao hurriedly explained but also had some doubts in his statements.

"Chen cousin, War is not an ordinary game, the family has decided to treat it as a strategic project… On this point, I think it won't be long before you will understand." Xiao Luo Shui seemed to be wanting to say something, but when the words reached her mouth, it was not spoken out.

"I hope you would put more value into this game. You must know if you're talking about real financial strength, even if it is the Mu family behind Huan Yu plus a small number of stakes from the Rui family, the two together can not fight with our family. However, the main layout of the family group is in the capital star, so it is not possible to put too much money into the 17th Executive Star. Therefore, whether the star company can fully control the high-end commodity market is very important, we must not let Huan Yu rise and threaten Xing Kong company!" Xiao Luo Shui glanced and shouted at the two people.

"Yeah, Cousin, I told you about the intelligence system from before, you quickly found someone to set it up as soon as possible. We have shops in major cities, building this would have a great advantage. Besides, if necessary… we can prematurely work together with the Hounds." Xiao Luo Shui pondered for a while, as she stated out sternly.

"Well, since the family let you be in charge of the 17th Administrative Star's War, it's natural for you to call the shots." Xiao Shao nodded.

As the second richest generation of the entire 17th Administrative Star, although Xiao Shao heard about some rumors about this unusual game, obviously he was not as familiar about this scene as his cousin who came from the capital star and was the core of the family.

Since this was Xiao Luo Shui's intention, then he had to carry out her plans.

It was just that this player, Feng Zhi Luo Ye, would even reject the price of 1 billion star coins for the virtual chip, which would make people speechless.

Maybe, there was a way to teach him a lesson while at the same time, take revenge on the feud they had during the initial agent transfer mission.

Use the Hounds? Perhaps this idea can be considered.

Chapter 648: Continuation of the Underground Ruin Mission

In the sky, in a flying ship from Storm City to the direction of the Silvermoon City, Feng Luo sat in the position near the window as he read the information of the auction.

Feng Luo was not fabricating stories, he had important things to do.

After opening the communicator before, he received another communication notification after the invitation of the Black Rose that was from Mu Zi.

In his notification message, Mu Zi told him that the legendary item he had obtained in the underground passage had been repaired and that he could enter the underground ruins to proceed with his subsequent missions.

On the afternoon of the Biohazard Crisis, Feng Luo had opened an underground ruin with the people in the Nightless City Club. However, that ruin did not completely open up because there was a super thick gold-alloyed wall that would only open after activating the subsequent mission.

Speaking of which, Feng Luo was super interested in what was inside this ruin. There was the appearance of a black beetle that had a similar appearance with 24K and was even able to summon different beetle types as well.

24K not only evolved for a second time after a battle with it but also triggered a series of missions called "The Heart of the Insect King."

Besides, 24K felt that there was something super attractive for it behind the silver walls of the underground ruins, making Feng Luo not to miss the subsequent missions for this underground ruin as a result.

The reasons to not go directly after receiving the communication are one, because the invitation from Black Rose is the priority, and two is due to the damaged Wings of Death still being repaired by Old John. Hence, he prepared to first go and attend Lonely Galaxy's invitation.

Now it's clear that he can save that time.

…

"Brother Feng!"

More than an hour later, the gray-black passenger ship was sprayed with blue energy landed in the rather desolate Lu's Group City, but it was still a port where people frequent.

After changing into a full set of combat equipment, Feng Luo was carrying a sniper rifle and jumped out from the cabin of the flying ship as he walked out of the port.

A group of acquaintances from the Nightless City Club and Mu Zi who last explored the ruin with him all stood in front of two off-road vehicles and waved to him.

"Oh, brother Feng, you're finally here. Come on, take a picture with your brother. Now that you're also a star player, after taking some pictures, I can finally boast to other people." Boss Meng seemed to gain quite a bit of weight recently, as his estimated weight had exceeded more than 300 pounds. After he saw Feng Luo his eyes sparkled, as he showed a scene in which he was impatient to take a photo with him.

"Brother Meng, I've set up a way that my real face can't be photographed in the game through my settings." Feng Luo stood at his original spot as he smiled at Boss Meng, as this led to Boss Meng raging.

"Master Feng, you've done it too hard this time! Especially pressuring Invikill during this mission, this did not give any respect to us as the Nightless Club!"

Jiao Zong was standing beside Rose Thorns as his triangular eyes sparkled but he still showed an exhilarated face.

For this bunch from the Nightless Club, the in-house staff has seen the news of the forum before seeing Feng Luo, so the excitement and surprise had long been over.

However, these old customers like Jiao Zong and Boss Meng were seeing Feng Luo for the first time since the past few days, and naturally, they had a lot to talk about.

"Invikill?" However, upon hearing Jiao Zong mention Invikill, Feng Luo was still stunned.

When he pressurized Invikill during this mission, what did that have to do with Nightless Club? Feng Luo was very confused at that moment.

"Isn't it because of the incidents from before?" Wearing a loose-fitting earthen energy robe, Jiao Zong delightfully asked while carrying his energy converter.

"The last time we were in the ruins, we got rid of the people of the September Guild. Because of past lessons, Mu Zi created a recording instrument to record their words down. In the end when we returned, if Lu Chen had nothing to say, he could only silently agree to the things we have done. Unfortunately, you were not present at that time, or else you could have seen how impressive we were." Jiao Zong revealed his mocking face.

"However, some of the people of the September Guild have hated us to the core, these days they have more and more people. We don't see eye to eye, and although we did not have a formal argument, we would have some verbal tensions here and there. I have never lost in a verbal argument in a game, but that group of people in September Guild had always mentioned about their 'Invikill' being the first person who awakened his Force and being the first sniper since the start of War. It was a bit annoying and there was nothing we can do about them. However, now it seems that there was no use being the first to awaken the Force, he was still embarrassed by you, my brother! God d*amn, he still had the shame to boast about him being the first sniper since the start of War." Jiao Zong had a cold smile, it seemed like this time the tensions between him and the people from the September Guild was not minute.

"Oh, so this was what happened… Will a lot of people from September Guild come over to Lu Conglomerate City?" Feng Luo was a little curious.

Regarding being victorious over Invikill, he did not think much of it.

Being clear about the internal affairs, he knew that Invikill's Force awakening was a fluke when in reality, his combat capabilities did not increase at all. Hence, his so-called being the first sniper in all of War did not gain much recognition from anyone.

No matter what else, even with that sniper from the North City whom he was unsure of, Feng Luo still thought that he was slightly higher on the ranking tier than Invikill.

"Well, Lu Chen, that kid's boldness is still there, and although his cooperation with the September Guild was no different from the hide of the tiger, these days their harvest is sizeable. Although September Guild's people were a little f*cked up, they took this cooperation a little more seriously. These days, they had called in many people to proceed with the construction of the city, these were all newly built…" Jiao Zong pointed to some buildings in the distance.

Feng Luo looked towards the direction Jiao Zong pointed.

At a glance, the foundation building, which was originally planned by Mu Wu to be constructing for at least a year, was almost completed in just over ten days. Even the city's anti-weapons facilities had been formed, as long as the rebels do not use a wide range of airpower, it should not be too dangerous.

It was not the planning error of Mu Wu, but mainly that it was previously considered to be developed only with the money of the Lushi Group and that it involved the problems concerning the return of funds.

But after the September Guild assisted with such a sum, the invested money was even more than the Lu Conglomerate and the speed of construction was sped up per day.

At the end of the day, the power of credit points was the strongest.

Feng Luo could not help but think about the 10 billion credit points Xiao Luo Shui just offered him in exchange to auction off his Boss chip. 10 billion credit points! He did not know whether allowing Huan Yu to auction off the Boss chip would be able to reach this level.

"Yes, I heard that these days the September Guild would also send a star player to the Lu Conglomerate City to create some pressure, some person called 'September Night Rain?' After he arrived in the PK match with Sha Lang, and even with a stealth profession Sha Lang was defeated by him. The high-end players from the September Guild were somewhat strong." Jiao Zong seemed to have thought of something, as he spoke to Feng Luo.

"September Night Rain… defeated Sha Lang?" After Feng Luo heard this, he was slightly interested.

September Night Rain came to Lu Conglomerate City, fought Sha Lang in a match, and won?

It was not too strange that September Night Rain won, as September Night Rain was a top ten special player in Storm City, hence his capabilities were there.

However, Sha Lang changing into a stealth profession was interesting. As a sniper, the stealth profession of Sha Long should have something unique.

"Yeah, after Sha Lang changed into the stealth profession, he was always called by the people of the Lu Conglomerate as the top player, but in the end losing to September Night Rain. September Night Rain's ranking was after Invikill, and Brother Feng you pressured Invikill. After compiling, you are stronger than Sha Lang by two tiers. By the way, after the mission, come into town with us, brother. Look at the people at the headquarters of the Lu Conglomerate, after seeing Old Brother Feng would he still be able to boast about Sha Lang? With your current fame, it's enough to suppress some of the ox-ghost serpents, brother." Jiao Zong suddenly had a sparkle in his eyes as he stared at Feng Luo.

"Wow, I could even ward off evil spirits? Okay, I'll do it if there is enough time." Feng Luo nodded with a bitter smile.

It seemed like the Nightless City's circumstances in Lu Conglomerate City was not optimal.

With the group headquarters and the September Guild not easy to deal with, no wonder Mu Wu had his idea to build a completely independent guild.

It was also time to meet Mu Wu in Nightless City's station. All the people were gathered, as they did not want to waste any more time.

The group rode in two separate energy off-road vehicles and headed in the direction of the ruins.

"Go, keep up!" However, just after Feng Luo left with them, an off-road vehicle was also driven from the Lu Conglomerate City and was following not far behind them.

Chapter 649: Bracelet, Corpse

"Bang!"

In the ruin, Feng Luo immediately killed the first Commander-Grade Level-45 bloodthirsty bat with one shot.

-15670

The golden fatal damage value of more than five digits was a striking presence in this dark underground passage.

The Commander-Grade creature with half of its health points left, had a huge hole through its body resulting from this direct shot as its health points immediately dissipated.

"Wow, Brother Feng, I finally know why you're able to crush so many star players. After your Force Awakening, the damage you're dealing is too disgusting!" Boss Meng, using his golden door-plate giant sword to push a Common-Grade bloodthirsty bat into the mud, shouted out with a look of shock and a face filled with envy.

"Yeah, Brother Feng, your damage made me lose all of my confidence. Today, it's a lot easier than the last time we fought these bats." Little Witch who was dressed in red, smiled as she mentioned.

As she reached out and threw a blazing white condensed fireball into the bloodthirsty bat herd that rushed over after the death of their commander creature to avenge it, the fireball blew up and caused a large amount of damage.

"It's mainly this gun having good attributes." Feng Luo laughed as he mentioned.

In addition to the properties of the Wings of Death having good attributes, even if it was not a critical hit, it would still be able to one-shot all these Level-40 Elite-Grade creatures.

There was one more point to his ability to be able to kill off this Commander-Grade bloodthirsty bat which was after the agitation of his talent, he earned the resistance against the sound wave attack from these bloodthirsty bats.

As long as they are not disturbed by these sound waves, which would make a normal person dizzy, these flying creatures which have low health points would be easy to deal with.

"Yeah, remember the last time this bat leader burst out a sound wave weapon, have you guys manufactured it?" Feng Luo shot an explosive at an Elite-Grade bloodthirsty bat as he asked Mu Zi who was beside him.

"The blueprints had been in the guild to give to someone to learn, but manufacturing it is a little difficult because it belongs to the more obscure weapons and will take some time to be able to settle. But it's good, although it is not actual legendary equipment, its ability is very powerful." On Mu Zi's wrists, he was wearing something similar to a bracelet as it projected a transparent screen in front of him.

Behind the screen next to all the monsters there were health bars and status bars, and once each monster's health points and status reached a certain degree, it would swiftly produce different types of change.

Visually, it looked a bit like the flat online games returned from their high-tech immersive games.

However, these "retro signs" were good for the fight because everyone would be able to see the state of the monster at a glance so that they could quickly finish off those fatally damaged bloodthirsty bats.

This Legendary-Grade piece of equipment with reconnaissance capabilities is exactly what the four legendary fragments formed into from the previous group of people who went into the ruin and was a key item of this follow-up mission.

"However, this thing is still missing a core storage device, so additional skills cannot be activated. According to the process of the mission, it should be behind the silver metal wall. By that time, it would not be inferior to some Legendary-Grade Scouting instruments." There was some excitement on Mu Zi's face.

He was the only Scout in the team and although this item did not belong to him after combining the item, he was the one who kept using it.

At this stage, Legendary-Grade reconnaissance equipment was enough to enable an ordinary Scout to become a top player that everyone yearns.

Plus, he already had a talent for scouting on his own.

…

Compared to last time, although there were two lesser people in this team, its progress was a lot faster.

One was because they were familiar with the monster's attack methods from last time, and the other was because of Mu Zi that they prepared some coping tools and consumables in advance.

In less than half an hour, the team had killed the second Level-45 Commander-Grade mutant mouse, leading them into the final room.

"It should be here." Mu Zi stopped in front of the silver metal wall path which had no gaps at all.

During the last time they were here, everyone walked until they had no way to continue moving forward.

The thickness of the metal wall was completely undetectable and there were no doors or open switches, so everyone could only go back.

This time, however, there were already instructions.

"Wow." Mu Zi raised his hand, as he tapped a few times on the projection in the sky projected by the Legendary-Grade bracelet that caused a bright white beam of light hit the metal wall after coming out of the bracelet, causing an amazing scene to happen before their eyes.

The metal wall, under the flashing white light, began to melt into its surroundings and after more than a dozen seconds, the area exposed to white light formed a channel that was able to fit a person, having a thickness of more than ten meters.

"Wow f*ck! Fortunately, we did not think to chop it open last time!" Boss Meng saw that long dark channel as he shouted. This ten meters thick metal wall, not to even mention his strong rare alloy sword which did not have large destructive strength. Even with Legendary-Grade weapons, they would not be able to dig through after a whole month's worth of brute force.

"It's in there, the signal is coming from inside." Mu Zi looked down at his reconnaissance instrument and quickly determined.

However, although the white light from the bracelet shone inwards, it still looked to be quite dark.

Although the reconnaissance instrument did not reveal any monsters, they should still be careful just in case.

"Wait a minute, I'll Scout the road ahead first." Feng Luo patted 24K which was on his shoulder.

Soon, a black hole appeared on the ground, in the curious eyes of the group of people, a nail-sized reconnaissance beetle quickly drilled out and flew in.

"There's no danger." A few seconds later, Feng Luo opened his eyes.

The group of people walked through the passage and as a result after the bracelet was collected, the passage slowly "healed."

This metal was some kind of light memory metal, it was indeed a little magical.

…

Inside the channel, following the bright tools, they could see a laboratory that should be more than one hundred square meters large which had many instruments inside.

However, the entire laboratory was clearly in a state after a battle where various instruments were destroyed and there were traces of bullet holes and casings everywhere.

Besides, there were seven or eight human corpses with only their bones left and several guard machines that have lost power in the entire laboratory.

"Well, the last part and the mission signal is being sent." When Mu Zi came in, the ring in his hand automatically rotated two times, and then fired a ray of light in one direction.

Following that, in the hands of one of the corpses, it started to shine brightly.

Chapter 650: Zerg, Brain Worm!

The thing in the corpse's was a small component of what seemed to be a chip. After Mu Zi placed this component into the groove in the bracelet.

"Click!"

The bracelet immediately engulfed the chip then automatically released a light that created a screen in the sky as a projection.

A white man in an experimental research suit appeared on the screen.

"Hello, the person who activated this information chip, I'm the biological expert Bear Grylls. First of all, I hope you're still in the D-1 experimentation lab when you activated this information chip because that's the best scenario. If not, I hope you or your group have not messed up the things in the experimentation lab before this. If something is moved incorrectly, it could have consequences which would destroy the world."

"My god, can he not have such a cliche opening." Upon hearing this, Meng Boss, who was holding his golden greatsword like a door panel while leaning onto an instrument next to him, hurriedly carried the weapon back onto his shoulder.

Originally idling next to a corpse, wanting to see if there would be high-grade consumables in the corpses of the ruins also hurriedly retracted his hands.

Although he knew these were just words from an NPC who left a video recording, they must still have been scared upon hearing them. There is no doubt that when there were words relating to "world destruction," it instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Perhaps, you all might think I am being over-cautious and purposefully exaggerating, but after seeing all these projections, you all would understand." The image on the projection was transformed into a battle scene with all sorts of chaotic sounds.

"Boom…"

A large, six-legged, dark red crustacean, which is like a bug creature, was frantically storming toward an NPC with six-tube electromagnetic machine guns.

They had very hard-shelled crustaceans and they needed at least a hundred rounds fired into them to die under the constantly firing of six tubes of electromagnetic machinery.

Their jumping ability was super scary, as they were able to jump more than a dozen meters at a time, directly jumping onto the modular defensive walls formed by the War Fortress system. The giant crustaceans were tearing into the NPC soldiers hidden in the fort in half with a sickle-like weapon on both sides of their bodies.

However, these insects, which were less than a meter tall, in the face of the ten meters tall all-metal shell machinery that was lined up, looked somewhat weak.

At least a thousand of the advanced war machines formed a defensive formation in front of the insect wave, constantly firing their machine guns at the raging tide of insects, directly crushing these bugs to pieces…

Each wave of small energy mini-bombs shot into the insect population produced a pile of energy clusters and mushroom clouds, where each time would cause hundreds of casualties.

Only then, the projection suddenly changed into a bird's-eye view on the scene where it could be seen that the insect tide was completely densely packed. You could see the start of the tide to the end at a glance, the open spaces created by the missiles fired by the machine beetle to kill those insects were almost instantaneously covered up by the insect tides which were reinforcing.

In addition to these dark red melee mini-bugs, there were even more different kinds of bugs in the tide.

There was an enormous bug which was a few times bigger than the machinery. Although its movement was slow, even the mini-missiles were not able to blow it up, and when its leg was immediately stepped onto the machinery, the bug immediately destroyed it.

Even so, when the projection shifted its view towards the sky, they could see that amongst the insect army on the ground, there were infinite amounts of rising green liquid that caused those high-tech drones that were flying at high speeds in the sky that were either constantly firing mini-bombs one after another or dropping high explosives, to swiftly fall onto the ground upon impact.

"Boom, boom!"

However, above the distant ocean, there were hundreds of strange aircraft carrier-like warships that launched large missiles that were far more powerful than the machinery, causing these giant beasts to be blasted and fall onto the ground as well.

"Swish, swish!"

Other than that, from outer space, there were countless beams of energy destroying rays shot into the ground that caused the bugs that contacted it to burn into ashes.

However, many of these rays were blocked by a layer of energy shield formed by a small bug that had energy flicking from within its body, some even had direct reflections which exploded those flying space fighters in outer space.

…

The level of technology shown on the projection showed that the technological advances of these NPCs were far stronger than the weapons that the current players hold. However, against these living armies like these insects, they were still unable to gain the upper hand.

The battle scene between the two sides was not on the same level as the current battle between the players, or even the battle between the NPC camps.

"Wow f*ck, this battle looks magnificent, it had the feel of high technological warfare!" Mu Zi and Boss Meng were constantly praising after seeing this scene with their faces filled with excitement.

At the same time, Feng Luo also had some excitement shown from the look in his eyes, because he recognized these enemies shown in the projection were simply the Zergs in Starcraft.

"What you all see now is some creature, it's an extremely dangerous species that doesn't belong to our planet. Zergs are a very destructive race from the depths of the universe and they have a scary reproductive capability and adaptive ability in evolution." As soon as the projection switched, it became that white NPC researcher again.

"In April 1023, a nest carrying genetic information from the Zergs fell deep in the Death Jungle and began to expand rapidly. Fortunately, this nest of worms had been discovered by the Star Eye fortress when it flew through the universe and towards our planet. Before this nest was fully developed, our army had found them in the Death Jungle. It was an extremely difficult battle that lasted three months, and the entire planet lost more than a third of its troops. In the end, we paid the price of destroying the largest jungle, the Death Jungle, on the planet in order to win and capture their commander." The projection switched again, and a special "insect" appeared in a huge transparent box-shaped object.

"Wow f*ck, what's this leader?" When the male players saw this, they got stunned momentarily.

"It looks a little disgusting!" The female players in the team revealed an expression filled with disgust, even Thorned Rose who did not have much change upon seeing those corpses, also could not help but express this thought.

The creature on the projection had a somewhat ugly appearance. It looked like an enlarged version of the human brain that appeared to be moving and full of mucus and blood vessels, its color was brownish-red with some black tentacles. In front of the brain, there was a long meat-colored mouthpiece.

This was indeed a little disgusting.

"Is this the Brain Worm?" Feng Luo is looking at the creature, which was what NPC called the "worm leader."

In Feng Luo's memory, the Brain Worm in the movies and games from Earth movies should have two concepts.

One was the Brain Worm in the "StarCraft" game, which was the medium that the Zergs commanded, it simply can be regarded as a commander that was able to control all of the Zerg combat units.

The second was the Brain Worm in "Galaxy Team," which had a similar use to the Brain Worm in Starcraft, but it had a high IQ and liked to on suck the brains of intelligent creatures, including humans.

This thing looked more like the second type, but from the background given by the NPC, it should have the function and the abilities of the first type.

Chapter 651: 24K's origins

"We have caught and imprisoned the Brain Worm, but the crisis didn't completely go away, because what landed on our planet was just a worm's nest. The creatures called the Zergs still had thousands and thousands of nests across the entire universe, and hundreds of millions have already hatched building the Zerg army. The content is retrieved from this Brain Worm's memory and is a projection after processing and combining." The picture projected by the bracelet changed again, this time, the background became a vast galaxy.

"Boom!"

On a large space warship with a length of five kilometers and the metal bodies of various complex structures that were covered with a transparent energy shield layer, a hundred meters thick main cannon of the ship charged for nearly a minute before opening fire aggressively.

A hundred meters thick energy beam in the vacuum environment about a hundred miles away crashed into the surface layer of the Psionic Energy Shield that was covered with a pile of bodies as it quickly moved towards this side near the Zergs in the vacuum.

The huge energy beam was enough to cause thousands of insects, which were more than five meters tall, from the Zergs army to completely vaporize. The final energy beam hit the core of the Zergs that appeared to be many times larger than the battle warship onto the body of something that looked like an aircraft carrier and gigantic Boss-Grade cosmic life creature.

"Boom!"

Immediately after, this huge Boss-Grade cosmic life creature also launched a counter-attack, as it directly shot a hundred meters thick invisible psionics beam back, as it went through the energy shield of this large cosmic warship.

Countless bugs with sharp antennae poured up and began to destroy and dismantle all of the structures in this army warship.

…

This scene was similar to one of the war scenes displayed before.

The only difference was that the background changed to the cosmic galaxy and the combat strength of the army units utilized by the two sides of the battle was one tier more advanced.

On the human side, in addition to the enormous asteroid giant model, large space warships, and thousands of various models of medium-sized warships, there was also countless human combat armor that was sized like ants.

However, these pieces of human combat armor had combat strength which was not inferior to most of the individual units in Zerg and could even be compared to a smaller sized space battleship.

They had fluctuations liken to the Force in this combat gear in space, those long-range or melee amplification of armored weapons under the support of the Force had a powerful destructive ability that, in an attack, was able to kill a large number of insects.

Some attacks were not inferior compared to the main weapon of a normal warship.

Of course, the Zergs' army was not inferior as compared to human beings.

All kinds of soldiers were relying on the huge Zerg aircraft carrier and constantly rose into the vacuum before they charged towards the human-controlled warships and mechas.

There were "flying dragons" that could spew flames, some were long-range "floating pythons" that could shoot attacks liken to the cannons in the army warship, there were even some flat-shaped soldiers covered with a body of psionics liken to small, long knives that carried a psionics attack, being able to directly cut off one medium or small-sized space battleship.

…

In the galaxy, countless Zergs and human combat armor, and tens of thousands of space warships were constituting into one of the most stunning galaxy battle scenes.

If the battles seen before this were the most intense ground combat scene a player could currently imagine, this battle in the galaxy was definitely beyond the player's imagination.

"This… is spectacular, it could even calculate out so many units battling, War's supercomputer was strong." In the lab, the players who saw the scene on the screen had all been shaken still.

"It's spectacular, what I'm more concerned about these galaxy-level fights was when would we as players be able to participate? Now, compared to these warships and what Zerg's large scale unit has, the weapons and equipment that we currently have would not even be able to be used as cannon fodder." Meng Boss stared at the projections, at those "Door Swords" which were more than ten meters long held by those hands, a human combat armor which could cut insects with a length of more than a dozen meters in half, as it almost made his saliva flow out from his mouth.

The mechas on the screen were not solely attacking with machine guns or missiles, in fact, from the mechas combat style, one could almost see the foreshadowing of various professions.

Heavy Armored Warriors, Machine Gunners, Manipulators, Snipers… This was the future of the player's evolution.

"Galaxy combat, perhaps it's still too early to think about that. These Zergs are not below Level-70, and it feels like we need to be at least this level to be able to open the Interstellar Battle version." As a group of players was speaking with a shock, the projection had changed and been replaced by the white NPC researcher.

"Upon obtaining all these images from its memory, we were completely shocked by the powerful fighting power of the Zergs insect armies, and by our usual means, we couldn't have simply destroyed them completely, because their reproduction rate was too fast and they also can combat and move around in the galaxy. We need to look for their weaknesses. Under the instructions of the Chief Executive of the Planet, Military Chief Duke Lofid, I was instructed to carry out research on this alien race to find their weaknesses and ways to deal with them. It has been a difficult process, and we've failed countless times… But fortunately, the most elite biological technology in our Sam Empire had some luck. After much in-depth research into this Brain Worm and Zerg samples, our team had finally made a big breakthrough not long ago… cough, cough…" Upon speaking until this moment, the white male NPC on the screen suddenly coughed violently.

"Our team, using the genes and the genetic information of a special spawning and hatching, the advanced unit studying the Brain Worm and the Zerg called 'Queen,' fused the evolutionary viruses and a black beetle and successfully created a super biotic weapon that has the advantages of these two insect units and was able to be controlled by our biotechnology. Since this creature has the genes of both the Brain Worm and Queen, it inherits the advantages of the two units. I named this creature "King Beetle"… Cough… Cough!" The screen switched again, this time, there was a gold beetle-like creature, with a size not exceeding two fists and a fully golden colored body, placed in a ball-like liquid instrument.

"This… It can't be…" Everyone in the lab turned as they looked at the 24K lying on the Feng Luo's shoulder.

Since this NPC cultured this "King Beetle" thing, it had the same appearance and modeling as 24K.

"It turns out, this is the origin of 24K." Feng Luo thought, realizing that this is 24K's origin story.

No wonder 24K had some of the characteristics of the Zergs while still being very different from them.

As it turns out, it was made by this guy's team, creating a new species originating from the genes of the Zergs' units.

However, while everyone was staring at 24K, 24K did not respond this time, because it was staring at the "King Beetle" in the projection, it seemed like it did not expect to see itself on another picture.

Chapter 652: Sole Dictator, Rose Sam

"King Beetle was the super powerful biological weapon that we are using against the Zerg, but in the first batch, we only succeeded in cultivating one. As originally planned, we would be making a second batch and carrying out a deeper analysis of optimizing the new species… But no one could have imagined that, in the final stages of the second batch of manufacturing experiments, a mob suddenly stormed our base from the outside… Cough… cough…" At this point, the NPC on the screen coughed up a large plume of blood from its mouth, but his words continued.

"Cough… This group of people, they wanted to release the brain worm. I could never let them get away with it because it would have terrible consequences… Cough… However, these people planned it out quite thoroughly, they destroyed the external defensive weapons system, even the army squad guarding the lab was killed off by them. Fortunately, the internal laboratory and the external base are completely separated and with internal help, although these people broke into the core laboratory, I was in control of the highest authority in the laboratory… Cough… I activated the M-723 nerve gas. The enemy would all die under the influence of the poison gas, but I have also been fatally wounded in the previous attack, I can not hold on any longer… cough… cough… I re-modified the base's intelligent procedures and stored this information in the core component chip of this N-900 Scout bracelet, set to send signals to the outside in intervals… Although I don't know what way you took to get here, or whether it's because you got the signal… But hopefully, anyone does the following after seeing this whole message. For the safety of our planet and human civilization as a whole, I hope you can send the Brain Worm to the A-2 experimental base under the bed of the Dead Jungle, or put it in the hands of Duke Rose Sam. Believe me, as long as you complete the task, you will enjoy endless prosperity and glory and become a hero of the entire planet… cough, cough…" The white male NPC in the picture coughed violently, spewing a lot of fresh blood from his mouth and nose, then the picture shook and disappeared completely.

"Whoosh!"

After the picture disappeared, the floating Legendary-Grade bracelet glowed with white light and shone on a piece of metal in the center of the lab.

Just as before, the memory metal floor that was illuminated by this white light, began to melt to reveal a huge passageway.

A few seconds later, a huge square-shaped object rose from under the metal passage, unfolding in front of everyone.

It's a transparent safe similar to the one Feng Luo saw in the pet chips wastelands, but it was thicker than the one that contained the Boss chip. Within this particular memory metal, the defense mechanism was tighter than the one containing the Boss chip.

However, this was quite normal because the thing that was stored in this safe was what appeared in the previous projection, the human brain-like giant worm – Brain Worm.

["You triggered the next series of missions…"]

At the moment the Brain Worm appeared, the system's tips were also brushed in front of everyone's sight.

This mission was not finished, there was the next series.

"This kind of serial mission, with this background plot… it feels like the level isn't low, there is a chance there is a big reward!" Boss Meng looked at the mission on the system and exclaimed. "But… What is this Brain Worm… it seems to be dead. If we deliver it over, does it still count as completing the mission?"

The transparent safe does indeed contain the Brain Worm, but the mucus on the surface of the body had completely dried up, and even the original dark brown color had completely turned gray-black. Its volume had been shrunk to no more than a quarter of its original size, it had no life fluctuations, it felt like it was beyond dead.

"There's no hint of life on the Scouting instrument, it should be dead." Mu Zi used a Scout skill and looked at his Scouting instrument.

"It must be dead, these remains were from at least 20 or 30 years ago, which creature would be able to survive decades without eating or drinking?" Boss Meng, with his golden gladius, patted the transparent safe. The result was that it simply could not cause any damage to it, and the Brain Worm inside had no movement at all.

"The task is to just ask to send things to the destination, and it didn't mention that it needed to be alive or dead. We just have to hand over the body of this Brain Worm to Duke Rose Sam. Why does the name Duke Rose Sam sound so familiar?" Boss Meng seemed to have recalled something, as he patted his oily and shiny forehead to think.

"The characters who appeared in the first chapter of the official background story of War, Old Meng, can't you recall it directly?" Jiao Zong seemed to have gotten a chance to scorn as he impatiently blurted out.

"Backstory? F*ck, there are too many backstories in War, up to millions of words and videos. At most taking a rough scan through it, and only going onto the forum to check the information when needed, who would spend their time checking the details one by one?" Boss Meng frowned as he shook his head.

"Me, I would, I spent a month initially, just to study backstories. Old Meng, you know why you are always unable to be better at the game than I am? The backstory in this game will reveal a lot of useful information." Jiao Zong pointed to his nose with his face full of pride.

"Stop being cocky, just quickly say it out loud." Thorned Rose, who was next to him, glared at him.

There was no access to the forum in the underground ruins, everyone wanted to know the information about Duke Rose Sam who was related to this mission, but they only were able to obtain this information after Jiao Zong showed off.

"Cough, cough… Our planet, before the 'great destruction' found in the backstory, was ruled by a family with the last name 'Sam.'" Jiao Zong was afraid by his strict wife who gave him an impatient glare, and had no choice but started talking immediately.

"Wait, the game backstory of the Galaxy Empire was called empire by name, but aren't they run by federalism? Why would a family rule over a planet?" Boss Meng questioned.

"Oh, that was very normal. The Galaxy Empire, although it ran itself with a federal system, it grew too fast after entering the universe, and federal regulation could play a role in the early stages of expansion. At the end of the day, when the entire Galaxy Empire had thousands of Administrative Stars and it would take decades to navigate amongst each other, how would the central government be able to take control of each planet again? Yes, you don't interrupt!" Jiao Zong scorned Boss Meng with some dissatisfaction as he continued to talk about the backstory of the planet in the game.

"This Sam family is a large integrated enterprise that involves military, medicine, bioengineering, and other aspects. Well, you can refer to the current Umbrella Company now. Of course, this Sam family was stronger than the Umbrella Company. With the transformation of the human living environment of this Administrative Star, the clean-up of the original creatures, the security guards, energy supply, mineral mining, and so on are all contracted by it. It can be said that this company has a monopoly on all the industries on the planet. Monopoly, of course, is synonymous with dictatorship and ambition, and this ambition officially erupted more than a hundred years ago when a man named Rose Sam came to power as the regional army and chief executive. In his name, he issued a large number of laws, seized all civilian weapons of mass destruction, and banned private research on high-tech weapons or military technology, and only distribute very outdated firepower weapons to the government military… He monitored everyone's communications and whereabouts, not allowing anyone to contact the outside world without their permission. Since the military was entirely under his control, the whole planet was essentially controlled by the Sam Group. Under the ambition of Duke Rose Sam, the whole planet had been made into an independent kingdom of his, and he had the power to kill anyone on the whole planet."

Chapter 653: Unusual Change!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"The Central Government of the Galaxy Empire did not know about all of these, and they even thought that Rose Sam had done a great job that they gave him the title of the Duke. However, this 'dictatorship' for the governed, was naturally not tolerable at all. In the late days of Duke Rose Sam's reign, a roaring revolt broke out… Well, I remember it was as if the timing of the outbreak of the resistance movement was just after the Zerg invasion that that NPC mentioned… I understand what's missing from the backstory because Rose Sam's army suffered a heavy loss in its battle with the invading Zergs, it provided the conditions for the outbreak of the resistance movement." Jiao Zong had a face full of excitement after understanding the whole scenario as he continued explaining to the crowd who was still listening to him.

"In the face of these resistance activities, the Sam Group immediately mobilized a large number of troops to suppress the movement. Since Duke Rose Sam had caused the anger of citizens all over the planet, the flame of resistance was lit and it was as unstoppable as a ignited single spark… In less than half a month, hundreds of rebel camps had appeared, and the numbers were snowballing like a snowball rolling down a steep mountain quickly, even a majority of his army that was under him had launched an uprising… In this case, Rose Sam's dictatorship inevitably collapsed… The first suppression failed, and the Sam Group was only able to escape from the planet in a spaceship with a large number of core high-tech items and high-level talent. However, as a dominant cross-planet enterprise, the members of the Sam Group were not willing to let go of such a large number of industries. After leaving, several galaxy fleets and a large number of mercenary troops were mobilized from other planets, armed with the company's high-tech weapons in an attempt to suppress the rebellion again, causing another war called 'Great Destruction.' It was an extremely long war that had multiple battles with unimaginable destruction at the same time. In the end, the rebels still managed to win and expelled Sam's army… But the entire planet had less than a third of their initial human population left. Since the Sam Group used many destructive high-tech weapons in this war, including their biochemical weapons on a large scale… It had caused the entire planet's environment, air, magnetic field, and other variations to changed vastly, as the ground had an appearance of a variety of mutant beasts… Although the rebels won, the war was far from over. After the absence of external problems, the rebels split into many camps and began infighting in battles for territory… These camps are what we now know as the federal government, the Rebel Army, the Freedom Flags, and other armed groups… By the way, it's especially noted in the background that because Duke Rose Sam has completely blocked the research of high-tech weapons on the planet for decades, there was not enough time or specialized personnel to research these high-level weapons… The mainstream weapons used on this planet before the wars that Duke Rose Sam allowed were very outdated gunpowder weapons and equipment that he had sent to the army, and if they desired for high-tech weapons, those could only be found from the dangerous wastelands filled with mutant creatures. Duke Rose Sam certainly would never distribute weapons to the civilians, controlling that aspect of who would be allowed to be armed and to what degree." Jiao Zong let out a huge breath, he finally finished illustrating all the related backstory to the rest of the group, who have been standing and listening in awe while learning about this aspect of the game's back story.

…

"Wait, old Jiao, you're saying that Duke Rose Sam is no longer on this planet?" Boss Meng reacted as he thought about this matter, as he turned towards Jiao Zong with a face full of suspicion.

"Even on the planet, he must have died after these past hundred years. For this mission, we have only one option left, and that is to take this Brain Worm to the so-called Death Jungle A-2 experimental base." Jiao Zong rolled his eyes towards him as if he said something obvious, and then nodded his head.

"It seems that's the only way. But how do we handle this thing, it seems to be very troublesome to handle?" The crowd looked at each other because the transparent safe containing the Brain Worm carcass was more than two meters long.

With such a large object and no way to put it into a backpack, the group needs to bring it onto the ground. The difficulty in doing this part of the mission is extremely high.

"We need not mention anything else, I doubt we can pass this through the metal door outside, which is unable to move. I suggest, why don't we just smash this box, find a smaller box, and put it in. The task was just for us to take this Brain Worm over, it did not say that we must bring box together with it." Boss Meng thought of this idea.

1

The Brain Worm's carcass was less than a quarter of what it used to be, only a medium-sized suitcase was needed to store it, which was much easier than trying to move it in this huge box.

"Smash? I don't think I can smash this. I just scratched it with a dagger, and it didn't leave a trace. The material of this box feels stronger than diamonds." Mu Zi shook his head as he raised his right hand which was holding the dagger.

"I think… it's better not to smash this, what if something weird happens when this thing gets out?" Little Snow retreated to the back of the team, as she looked at the Brain Worm's carcass in the safe with an expression filled with fear. The main point was that this thing looked very disgusting before on the projection, let alone how it looks right now in person after a few decades.

Little Witch and Thorn Rose also nodded in agreement.

"Well, Brother Feng, what are your intentions?" As the bunch of people's opinions was somewhat inconsistent, Mu Zi turned to Feng Luo who was silent.

"Tsk, tsk…" Feng Luo did not talk mainly because he was communicating with 24K on his shoulder through a spiritual link.

"Are you saying that this Brain Worm in the box is what attracts you?" Feng Luo frowned and asked while pointing to the Brain Worm in the safe.

At the end of the previous mission, 24K felt something was attracting it behind the metal wall, and it was even more attractive than the crystal core of the Commander-Grade black beetle that was able to allow it to evolve to this level.

Just after the safe rose to the ground, 24K was staring at the body of the Brain Worm inside, noticing that is was the Zerg Brain Word inside that was attracting it there.

As the highest-level unit in the Commander-Grade Zergs, it was highly possible to be attractive to 24K which owned the genes from both the Brain Worm and the Queen.

However, Feng Luo originally thought that he was not supportive of opening this box.

Not knowing the reason why his mind was always a little wary of this Brain Worm corpse. Even though it should theoretically be dead, Feng Luo thought it was best not to let it out.

1

There was no choice, in understanding the game Starcraft's background story, he knew that the Brain Worm was not purely just a physical creature. In his heart, he was suspecting whether this creature was dead.

1

"Tsk, tsk…" 24K moved its little claws on Feng Luo's shoulders, as it was scratching Feng Luo's tactical vest while expressing a burst of intense desire through their spiritual and mental link.

"Mu Zi, give it another Scouting skill, can you ensure that it's dead?" At that moment, when Mu Zi was just about to ask him again, Feng Luo asked him a question with a frown.

"Dead, there aren't any life fluctuations." Mu Zi felt a little strange, but he still listened to Feng Luo, as he used another Scouting skill on the Brain Worm, the result was that there was still no life fluctuations.

"Tsk, tsk…" 24K cried out again.

"Okay." Feng Luo finally nodded, but he reached out and raised his Wings of Death and stood directly in front of the safe box.

1

"Tsk!" A pleasant cry sounded in the mouth of 24K.

Then, black wormholes appeared on the ground, and the large body of the Commander-Grade steel beetle, that was more than three meters long, slowly ran into the group of curious eyes, as it almost collapsed the ceiling of the lab.

Naturally, it was like at the Devil Tri-Horn core base as it shot out intense light from its two eyes, carrying out its skill, "Pierce."

"Wow!" Since this safe was bigger than the one before, the Commander-Grade steel beetle's piercing speed was a lot slower, as it took a total of a dozen seconds to finally penetrate a hole in the safe the size of a fist.

"Stop!" Feng Luo quickly stopped the action of the Steel Beetle.

Immediately after, the muzzle of the Wings of Death in his hand was pointed at the fist-sized hole before…

A "click" sound went off, as Feng Luo's index finger, while wearing the Black Eagle gloves, pressed down on the trigger.

"Buzz!"

At the moment the trigger was pressed down, in the safe, the "Brain Worm carcass" that had no life fluctuations under the Scouting skill, suddenly moved its dried up tentacles.

1

Immediately after, it suddenly opened its pair of big black eyes, which was likened to the night sky without the slightest light, which was on its severely damaged brain.
