Fatal Shot

Storm City, Huan Yu auction.

A rotating silver tower with very stylish infrastructure stood in the city, covering more than 10,000 square meters. At the moment, in a roof-like office on the highest level, Feng Luo was sitting in a guest seat and holding a steaming cup.

Opposite him was Sister Rui in a black uniform and a white formal shirt, which had been made by a Master NPC in the game. She sat at the head of the table, and she gave off the vibe of a chairperson.

“Little Feng, it seems like your mission went smoothly.”

Sister Rui smiled as she spoke, but she was clearly keeping her posture as a career woman.

“Oh, it wasn’t too bad!” Feng Luo said, nodding.

To him, this agent mission really hadn’t been too difficult, except the bit of trouble with the Hunters and Nightingale!

“I’m guessing that box is full of W-virus permanent Enhancement Potions.”

Sister Rui smiled, turning her gaze to the silver chest sitting beside Feng Luo.

“Yup, a total of 100. In addition to the potions for the four basic attributes, there are some hybrid-type potions as well!” Feng Luo said as he passed the box to Sister Rui.

“Great. With these permanent Enhancement Potions, the auction tomorrow is bound to be a success. I believe it’ll let Huan Yu draw in even more customers.”

Sister Rui seemed delighted.

“But only 20 will be taken out to be auctioned tomorrow at the Storm City auction. I’ll send the rest to the Huan Yu auctions in other main cities; the first batch of Enhancement Potions should be auctioned at the highest possible value!”

“Sounds good!” said Feng Luo. He had no reason to argue, as what Sister Rui suggested was undoubtedly the best option.

Sister Rui placed the box on the mechanical storage platform which had risen up from the floor beside her, then turned back to Feng Luo.

“Also, Little Feng, didn’t you say you still had some pieces of equipment to auction off? If you pass them to me, I’ll register them!”

Feng Luo hesitated slightly. “Do you need to get someone to register the equipment? There’s a lot of it, so registering it all will probably be troublesome.”

“A lot of it?” Sister Rui became curious. She knew that Feng Luo wasn’t prone to exaggeration. “Don’t worry about it. The auction has already been set up, so I currently have nothing pressing to do!”

After what Feng Luo had said, Sister Rui was even more interested in registering the items personally. She was especially intrigued when she remembered the “Ring of the Desert Rock Lizard,” which Feng Luo had previously wanted her to find.

…

A few minutes later, the metallic platform was heaped with all sorts of equipment, and Feng Luo was still pulling pieces of equipment out of his backpack. Even Sister Rui, who was a Storm City auctioneer, was a little disturbed!

“Little Feng, please tell me you didn’t rob the Exchange,” Sister Rui said jokingly. Her eyes were quite shocked, though. “These pieces are all quality Rare equipment with really decent attributes. Even at the Exchange, any piece could fetch up to 100,000 credits. Where did you get all this?”

She had at first thought that most of the items were low-tier, with a few pieces of Rare equipment thrown in. But looking closely, she realized that almost all of these pieces were actually of rare grades, or even accessories above Excellent!

Some of the pieces had even better attributes than the best Rare equipment she had already prepared to auction off tomorrow.

Also, some of the equipment was actually in sets!

There were almost 100 pieces in the pile already!

The sight of such a huge quantity of Rare equipment was shocking. Only purchasing agents of big guilds or staff of the Exchange saw this many Rare items at once; average players would have never seen it before!

But she knew that in recent days, Feng Luo had been doing a lot of missions.

Plus, with Feng Luo’s personality, it was impossible that he could be a purchasing agent of any guild! Thus, Sister Rui was full of curiosity.

“Believe it or not, all this equipment came from the same mission!”

Feng Luo smiled, reaching his hand once more into his backpack.

Those able to obtain the right to participate in the “battle royale” mission definitely would not be average players—they would all have at least a piece or two of Excellent or even Rare equipment.

Not to mention, there were still top players like September Night Rain with a full set of Rare items!

In addition to the cruel rule of “full loss upon death,” the stakes of killing people in this mission were 10 times higher than killing red-name players. It was simply an equipment spree!

“Mission?”

Sister Rui’s face went blank as Feng Luo took out the last three pieces of equipment.

They were two faint blue-colored rings made of a clear, transparent material, and a necklace with a long pendant. They looked very gorgeous and their styles were very unified. Even the Wind Energy Crystals embedded in them seemed impeccable!

Very clearly, Feng Luo left the most valuable items for last!

[Whisper of the Wind (Equipment Set)]

Whisper of the Wind left ring (Level 48 Rare equipment), Whisper of the Wind right ring (Level 48 Rare equipment), Whisper of the Wind necklace (Level 50 Rare equipment).

Set attribute: bonus 10% enhancement of Wind Energy damage!

These were the most valuable items among the equipment of September Night Rain: a full set of Wind Manipulator Rare-Grade accessories!

Each piece had the attribute of +10% damage, plus when all were worn, it would activate the set attribute which was a bonus enhancement of 10% damage! In total, this set would enhance a Wind Manipulator’s damage by an entire 40%!

“Whisper of the Wind!” When Sister Rui saw this set of Rare ornaments, she could not help but exclaim in shock.

It was not strange that she recognized them. After all, as a high-end equipment company belonging to the cream of the crop in War, she had seen most pieces of quality equipment before.

Sister Rui recovered from her shock, but she still seemed a little shaken.

“Little Feng, you’ve actually gotten the Whisper of the Wind! Do you know how much it’s worth right now?

Feng Luo hesitated a bit. “Probably more than 5,000,000, right?”

Pieces of quality Rare equipment were worth at least a million credits, whereas Rare accessories were even more valuable. The fact that this was an equipment set would inflate the value even more!

“Five million… Little Feng, your estimation is too low! Half a month ago, on a medium-scale auction organized by Starry Sky Company, this set of ornaments was used for the finale auction. Do you know how much it sold for? 18.88 million credits!”

“More than 18,000,000 credits?” Feng Luo stared at her blankly. This time, he was really dumbfounded!

He had believed Sister Rui when she claimed the W-virus Enhancement Potion would be worth up to 10,000,000. After all, the Enhancement Potion permanently enhanced attributes, and it was still completely monopolized!

But equipment was different. The prices of Rare equipment in such a large, popular game could be very high. However, given that equipment prices were continuously depreciating and the rate of Rare equipment production was sufficient for the player population, it was not considered to be truly rare!

Therefore, he previously estimated that he would receive 10,000,000 credits for the equipment he had gotten from Death Hunter Island, and five or six million credits for the ornament set.

But apparently, this ornament set from September Night Rain was worth far more than he had imagined!
