Fatal Shot - Chapter 582

Chapter 582: Force

“You have a message!” Right after Feng Luo had replied to Red Queen and hung up on the Communicator, the Communicator rang again.

“Mister Feng, there’s some matters, not sure if I could meet you to discuss in person?” A smiley Nine-Star Guild vice-director Zi Wei appeared on the huge screen.

…..

“Mister Feng, please sit.” In a room on the top floor of the warship modified into a guest room, Zi Wei stood up to welcome Feng Luo in.

In this room, there were two other players: a youth at around 20-years-old in a combat suit and wearing tactical glasses, and a Light Armored Warrior in a full-set silver armor, whose extraordinarily handsome face with sharp eyebrows, crescent eyes, and a sharp nose was revealed when he lifted his helmet. Storm City’s number one star player, Sword Ki Long River.

“Mister Feng, thank you for previously helping me take back my weapon from that Quasi-Boss, many thanks.” As Feng Luo entered from the door, Sword Ki Long River instantly spoke with a grateful tone.

But as he spoke, there was not much of a change in expression on his face.

He was not like the other Scout player who had smiled to Feng Luo, neither did he have an almighty vibe of seeing himself as a top star player.

“No need to thank, it was just convenient for me…” Seeing Sword Ki Long River’s attitude, Feng Luo smiled as he shook his head, without an unhappy expression as he just studied Sword Ki Long River with slight curiosity.

He had heard long before that this “Storm City’s number one expert” was a person with quite a strange personality.

Although he was a star player, he normally did not interact much with people other than at mandatory activities arranged by the guild. He spent all his free time on upgrading skills and improving his own ability.

Towards anyone, even the Nine-Star Guild director, his attitude was always extremely flat and even cold.

Simply speaking, this Storm City’s “number one expert” was a person with a completely opposite personality from Zhao Yun the “second expert” who was a natural with people.

There was even a legend that no player had ever seen Sword Ki Long River smile.

There was even a boss who previously had spent a billion credits to invite him for endorsement, and the request was to have Sword Ki Long River cooperate and smile once during the filming of the advertisement.

In the end, just after glaring at him, Sword Ki Long River turned straight and no longer bothered about the Commander monster which was still in battle, and left.

In the end, it had resulted in the wipe-out of the filming team.

Then, the Nine Star Guild had to pay huge costs for the breach of contract.

Logically speaking, a person with such a personality was not suitable to be a star player at all, as star players had to know how to cater to fans, and no one had ever seen a star with “facial paralysis,” right?

There were many normal players who saw this as their cup of tea, nicknames like “Cold-Faced Sword God” or “Chilly Husband” were much more chased by female players than “Shell God.”

After saying one statement to Feng Luo, Sword Ki Long River swiftly stopped speaking and stood to the side silently.

“Mister Feng, don’t mind Old Sword, his personality is just like that… he really wants to thank you properly, if not, his weapon might have been marked as lost by the system.”

The youth in the combat suit at the side was a little afraid that Feng Luo would misunderstand, and immediately stepped forward to shake Feng Luo’s hand as he said with a smile.

The equipment in War taken away by fleeing monsters was a situation more rarely seen; typically in such situations, the equipment would automatically return to the backpack after a period of time.

However, there was a chance that the equipment would be marked as “lost,” and it would not be able to come back.

Although the chance was not high, Feng Luo reclaiming the sword had completely avoided this possibility. If a Legendary Grade weapon was really lost, then the loss would definitely be huge to the Nine-Star Guild.

“I haven’t asked for guidance…” Hearing the voice of this youth in the combat suit, Feng Luo knew that he was in the Nine-Star Guild battle command in the channel just now.

“Frontline Command.” The youth in the combat suit smiled and introduced himself.

“Frontline is a Hidden Mission on-field commanding officer, able to collect huge amounts of battle and player stats while in battle… but not greater than Mister Feng’s Agent.” At the side, Zi Wei interrupted with a smile, seemingly unintentionally.

“Hidden Mission…” Feng Luo’s pupils constricted, and he turned to look towards Zi Wei.

What Zi Wei said was of course with some meaning of humility.

Although Hidden Professions in War were not sure to be more powerful than the combat power of normal professions, they were not weak – the most important thing was to have the unique abilities of each profession.

This on-field commanding officer could be known from the name to be of a profession suitable for on-field commanding.

Such a profession was not up to Agents in single unit strengthening, but its effects would be huge to reclamation and team battles which needed team competition.

Especially when it was a professional Hidden Profession player who had taken up command – this was not revealed before to the participating people at all by the Nine-Star Guild.

Clearly it was to wait until they had officially battled with the North City players and had caused some unexpected effect.

However, despite being strictly secretive about it previously, she had then directly told him who was considerably not a very well-acquainted person.

Clearly, Zi Wei had something to say.

After all, since she had specially met here, it was definitely impossible for it just to be to express thanks for the retrieval of the golden longsword.

“Mister Feng, could I dare ask if you’ve already awakened your Force?” Seeing Feng Luo’s inquiring look, Zi Wei smiled and paused slightly before saying.

“Sure.” Feng Luo did not feel strange that Zi Wei would ask about Force; he felt that this matter of Force Awakening was very easy to be discovered as long as one had the passion.

With just a Scout player finding out that his Level had exceeded Level 50 using Detection, one would be able to get this conclusion.

Furthermore, it would definitely be revealed in this battle in front of Red Queen and the others, thus Feng Luo did not have the intention of hiding but openly admitted.

“Indeed…” Frontline Command revealed an “I see” expression.

As expected, Zi Wei looked a little shocked, and even Sword Ki Long River’s expressionless face had finally looked towards Feng Luo with a little change.

“Since so, things would be better handled.” Following that, Frontline Command said happily.

“Hm?” Feng Luo did not interrupt but just quietly waited for the other party to continue on.

“Mister Feng, let’s not keep secrets. I’ve asked you this as Communicators will experience serious disruptions in this ruin and would only be able to be effective within a small range. However, Frontline has gotten a device set from his Hidden Mission which can empower communication, but this instrument set needs to be engaged by a Force to unleash all of its capabilities…” When Zi Wei spoke to this point, Feng Luo understood.

A device that needed the Force to be activated – this was clearly some Legendary Grade tool.

This was also a reason why Zi Wei and the others had invited Feng Luo over after confirming that Feng Luo had awakened his Force.

“What will you need me to do?” Feng Luo creased his forehead slightly, then asked the three Nine-Star Guild people.

“It’s actually very simple, you just have to…” Involving his own job, Frontline Command immediately explained Feng Luo, while Zi Wei added on from aside.

“Mister Feng, when this activity is over, could I invite you to a round of PK.” As Feng Luo, Zi Wei, and Frontline Command were ready to leave upon finishing the discussion about the instrument, Sword Ki Long River who had not been speaking suddenly spoke.

“Well…” Feng Luo did not expect that Sword Ki Long River would suddenly ask this.

His competition with Black Panther had not happened and he had been invited to a battle again by Storm City’s number one expert player?

If he had really fought with Sword Ki Long River, regardless whether the outcome was a win or loss, if the news was spread, it was possible that he would quickly become famous in the entire Storm City when the battle had not even started.

This was a pretty huge clash with his style of staying in low-profile.

“Mister Feng, it’ll be a private competition… there would be no one spectating.” Although Sword Ki Long River did not like to build rapport with people, clearly it was not that he was not good with people as he had seen what Feng Luo was pondering about.

“If so, then when I’m free…” Feng Luo nodded, taking interest.

…

“We’re prepared to find Invikill this time… this way it’d be better. After all, Invikill ultimately belongs to September.” After Feng Luo had left, Frontline Command said to Zi Wei with a smile.

“Right, this way, the second player who has awakened Force has appeared. The previous two were both in our Storm City. Old Sword, why don’t you work hard and must well find a third one?” After which, he seemed like he had thought of something else and said to Sword Ki Long River at a side with a chuckle.

“The second one? You think Invikill is the first?” Zi Wei watched Feng Luo’s leaving silhouette and said with a sense of mockery in her pair of slightly purple eyes.

“Hm, is he not.” Frontline Command froze.

“Might not be… Invikill is only Level 52, while Mister Feng is Level 53, not really sure who’s first and last. Furthermore, the origin of Invikill’s Force; don’t forget, there were people hawking for the chance to be the first to awaken Force at that time, although there was no evidence. The time that Invikill awakened his Force was really too coincidental… Besides, the person who sold the chance to be ‘War’s first to awaken the Force’ was Onishi, of the Hidden Agent Profession…”
