The sun’s rays were like flames; under the blowing wind, in the reddish-yellow desert hilled with sand dunes was a small oasis in the center.
With a flash of white light, the silhouette of a Heavy Armored Warrior with a beard and in a full-set Rare equipment materialized, gradually appearing somewhere in this desert.
“This desert map isn’t very suitable for me. But luckily, there’s an oasis in the center…” After the bearded Heavy Armored Warrior appeared, he instantly scanned the surroundings, after which he spoke while looking at the semi-transparent map which had emerged before him.
“Eh, am I actually the first one deployed in?” He spoke after looking left and right once more.
“Don’t know if I’d get any familiar people this time, hope there can be such an occurrence. Old Douche, did I actually get the same group as you?”
A few seconds later, another flash of white light appeared.
A fire Manipulator, wearing a Fire robe of extravagant design and similarly in full-set Rare equipment materialized. Seeing the Heavy Armored Warrior, his special blue eyes with an Asian appearance showed surprise.
“Starry Night? This really is some coincidence.” The Heavy Armored Warrior was similarly surprised – clearly, this Fire Manipulator was an acquaintance.
When the two had not finished speaking, right after, another three streaks of white light flashed at the same time beside them.
“There’s Triple Black, isn’t this…no way, it’s actually the few of you?” The three new people, a Scout, a Machine Gunner, and a Sniper; were actually a three-gunner group.
On the three people’s chests had an insignia of nine circling stars with silver centers and gold borders, clearly belonging to the same guild.
To Storm City players, at least 80% of the people had seen this insignia before – it was the insignia of the “Nine Star Guild,” furthermore, a high-grade insignia which could only be worn by Elites.
There were still roughly 30% of the people in the 80% who had heard the names of the three players before, as these three people were all “star players.”
Although they were not super-grade star players ranked in the top 10 like Sword Ki Long River who was the face of Nine Star Guild, these three people resided in the top 50 placings of the Storm City stars, and two among them had even made it into “Storm City’s top 10 experts” before.
“Douchebag, Starry Night? It’s you two!” The Sniper in the three Nine Star Guild star players similarly looked at the Heavy Armored Warrior and Fire Manipulator who were first to enter in surprise.
The five of them knew one another, as the Heavy Armored Warrior and the Fire Manipulator were also star players belonging to the “top 10 guilds.”
“Crap, this team is not bad. Although there’s no control, both Fire Manipulator and Gunner have an advantage in such an environment – seems like we’ve secured this.” The bearded Heavy Armored Warrior known as “Douchebag” said smiling after seeing the three new star players.
“Don’t be overly optimistic. Technically speaking, since the three of them were assigned to the same group with the two of us even though they had formed a room, the opponent’s ability would definitely not be weak.” The Fire Manipulator who was second to enter reminded.
Even with his faint look of self-confidence, he was clearly full of confidence in his own victory.
“It’s best if they’re not weak. It’s been so long that I haven’t fought a high-standard team battle in the arena.” The Heavy Armored Warrior said smiling.
This desert was not a “wilderness” in the game, but a virtual arena for players to PK.
What was immediately about to begin was a 5V5 team PK.
…
When the Heavy Armored Warrior entered, in the opponent team, the corresponding three players “in a room” had already entered the game.
“Hey, it’s the desert map. Old Feng, this round is all up to you, best if we finish off all five of them without even the need to make a move.” Speaking was a Heavy Armored Warrior standing at 1.6 meters tall and whose appearance was a bit wretched. After seeing the randomly selected map environment, he immediately spoke to the Sniper beside him with a sneaky laugh.
“But beyond one kilometer, there’s an oasis too. All places outside the oasis have a percentage HP debuff – this map setting is in general very fair across all professions.” The alluring Light Armored Warrior in a full-set red feminine armor turned to the Sniper and spoke with a bright smile after scanning the environment. “It seems like in order to win, the oasis in the center is the key. Leader Feng, what do you think?”
“Such desert map settings are almost all like that.” The last Sniper was standing at the summit of a sand dune, gazing far at the oasis one kilometer away. It was as if the vision of his naked eyes were able to see the situation at the oasis from here.
The three players were of course Feng Luo, Big Pineapple, and Phoenix.
It was 10 days away from the Agent mission – the three of them were playing PK together as a team today.
Since little Sally’s treatment has not ended, and the G-Virus Legendary Hidden Mission has yet to be completed.
As for the previous speculation, in order to prevent accidents, all three of them did not go too far from Storm City, and just went on some missions in the city to farm for XP and level up.
As for Phoenix and Big Pineapple, in order to be able to accumulate enough Agent Points to exchange for Legendary equipment as soon as possible, they had been finding Medal Point missions to go on.
However, this kind of life of staying in the city and going on missions was really meaningless after a while. Thus, Big Pineapple especially pulled Feng Luo over to team up and play a round of PK.
Of course, Big Pineapple had an official purpose.
“I want to feel your Force by being around you, who knows if my Force Awakening progress would increase.” Being provoked by Feng Luo, Big Pineapple had gritted his teeth and spent 1000 points to exchange for a Force Guidance Chip.
In the end, he had upsettingly discovered during the past few days that no matter how much he tried, his Awakening progress was still at 0%.
Instead, it was Phoenix’s Awakening progress had actually reached 72% – this made him so upset that he was even prepared to try such a lowly method.
“Actually, I’ve already generally guessed my Force Awakening criteria, every time my Talent is activated, my Force Awakening progress would increase a bit after she appeared for a period of time. And the longer she controlled my character, the more the increase in my Force Awakening progress. So, my Force Awakening criteria is generally to let her appear for a certain amount of time.” Phoenix smiled satisfyingly.
She had exchanged for a Force Guidance Chip previously when she had transferred professions; according to the change of the Awakening progress, she had already found her own possible way of Awakening.
The time of her awakening her Force was 90% likely to be before Big Pineapple.
“Your Talent is ‘Dark Personality,’ and requires the time of ‘Dark Phoenix’ appearing as the standard. My Talent is “Heavy Armor,” could it be that I need to wear equipment of sufficient weight and then it’ll increase, but I’ve tried before and there’s still nothing. Clearly, I still haven’t found the key.” Big Pineapple said depressingly.
“Others have come in.” Just then, beside the three people, two streaks of white light appeared one in front and one at the back.
Seeing that there were people coming in, the few of them no longer discussed about Force.
First to enter was a Wind Manipulator who was a little handsome and generally could be considered a “gigolo,” whose equipment didn’t look bad.
Although Feng Luo and the others did not know the Manipulator’s equipment, they could generally tell that this person probably had at least a few pieces of Rare equipment, or even possibly all were Rare equipment.
“It’s actually a desert environment. Hm, still will do.” After entering, the Wind Manipulator first observed the surrounding environment, completely ignoring the three people.
Only when he saw the environmental limitations and the small map clearly did he look up at his teammates for this round with a scrutinizing gaze.
His eyes quickly looked past Feng Luo and Big Pineapple, but seeing Phoenix, his eyes lit up.
“Hello everyone, I’m Gone With The Wind, let’s get to know one other.” The “gigolo” Wind Manipulator stretched out his right hand to Phoenix, a Rare quality ring designed with gorgeous crystals showing on his finger.
