Big Pineapple looked at September Night Rain’s fake smile on Feng Luo’s screen and asked, “Eh? Doesn’t this guy look familiar?”
As it was dark and raining heavily when they had the group battle on Death Hunter Island, Big Pineapple, who was a Light Armor Warrior at the time, hadn’t really seen September Night Rain’s face.
However, upon seeing September Night Rain’s face, which was amazingly popular with young boys and girls, Big Pineapple seemed to recognize him.
“Oh, that’s right. I remember… Isn’t this guy the Wind Manipulator that you took out one-on-one the day before yesterday?” Big Pineapple asked teasingly. “Geez, looks like this guy is a superstar player, and he looks pretty damn popular!”
“Old Feng, if you mention on the forum that you completely crushed him and even made him lose all his equipment, perhaps some of these female players will become your fans!”
“Old Feng, I think this might really be a good chance…” Big Pineapple said with a wretched smile.
“You’re being naive,” answered Feng Luo calmly. “Do you seriously believe that he became a superstar player by relying on pure strength? Believe me when I say that even if you completely crushed him in front of all these people, these female players would never become your fans; on the contrary, they would curse and verbally destroy you!”
Feng Luo imagined a victorious Big Pineapple extending his arms to welcome and embrace all the female fans rushing towards him, a perverted smile on his face, only to be pushed to the ground and trampled by all the high heels. As he envisioned it, he couldn’t help but smile.
“F*ck. It’s just a world that looks at a person’s face. Moreover, all of them have probably adjusted their looks, unlike yours truly, which is completely natural. They have no taste!”
Big Pineapple became despondent for a moment, then exclaimed, “But it shouldn’t be too difficult for me to take this guy out. As long as the terrain is right and I can get the Hellish Meat-Grinder up, even if 20 superstar players come at me, they’ll just be ground into mincemeat!”
He had chosen Machine Gunner as his second profession. Hellish Meat-Grinder was the Rare Grade top-class Level 50 machine gun he received from the Big Escape mission he did with Feng Luo.
It couldn’t be denied that a Heavy Armor Warrior and Machine Gunner combination would be incredible. One had absolute defense, while the other had the strongest explosive attack. The two professions together would be more than the sum of their parts.
Initially, it was a bit difficult to choose both professions because their equipment was extremely heavy and took up a lot of space. However, the problem could be easily solved by getting a Beginner Special Agent Bag!
Big Pineapple was still staring at the screen in depression, but he suddenly called to Feng Luo, “Eh? Old Feng, it looks like there are some familiar faces downstairs!”
“Yes, I see them!”
Feng Luo’s gaze rested on a few people walking towards the rotating escalator. He and Big Pineapple did not know a lot of people, but they recognized these four.
“Red Queen, Black Panther, White Crescent, Neutron Star… They’ve increased their numbers!”
The screen showed a woman who only wore a simple red gown, but she made it seem like all the attention was focused on her. She had been their employer the first time Feng Luo and Big Pineapple worked together. “Red Queen!”
And behind her, standing on her left and right, were Black Panther and Neutron Star, both wearing full sets of Rare Grade equipment.
Behind them were White Crescent and a few other players with similarly incredible and glamorous items. They looked like the entourage of a real queen.
“How unfortunate… This red lady is too intense. Otherwise, I might have accepted her invitation!” Big Pineapple shook his head regretfully while his eyes shifted between Red Queen and White Crescent’s chest.
Feng Luo did not speak.
Red Queen had extended an invitation to him as well, but he had also declined.
This woman was definitely not simple!
After half an hour, the auction finally started.
“Welcome to Huan Yu’s June auction.”
Sister Rui, wearing a formal purple dress, appeared in the middle of the golden auction stage with a bright and calm smile. Big Pineapple’s eyes widened again.
“Wow! This host sure is hot. She’s in the same league as Red Queen!”
“Don’t speak when you eat!” Feng Luo glared at Big Pineapple, leaving Big Pineapple scratching his head.
Sister Rui, standing in the middle of the golden stage, began speaking. “This auction is the largest auction organized by the Huan Yu Company in Storm City. There are more than 150,000 high-end items in this auction, including 115,000 pieces of Rare Grade equipment…”
“Apart from that, the auction will also include manufactured Rare Grade sniper rifles and B-grade ammunition, potions and other consumable items…”
“Rare Grade sniper rifles?” Big Pineapple clearly hadn’t done much research on the current auction, so he had never heard of the “Eye of the Thunder” that Huan Yu had been promoting.
However, he was well aware of the commercial value of manufacturing Rare Grade main weapons!
“Motherf*cker. That Gun Mechanic sure got lucky!” Big Pineapple said enviously.
Feng Luo really didn’t want to bother speaking to him.
“Of course, I know that many players came here specifically to get the W-series permanent stats Enhancement Potion.”
“The W-series potion is a top-notch gene-altering potion that permanently increases HP, strength, energy recovery, and other stats. We, Huan Yu Company, managed to obtain the exclusive sales rights of this potion by working with a Master level NPC and a mysterious player in the game!”
Sister Rui’s words sparked strong discussions below the stage.
“Of course, I came here specifically for that potion!”
“Virus potion, huh? The name sounds a bit weird!”
“Mysterious player! F*ck me! Did the player trigger a hidden mission and manage to create these Enhancement Potions?”
“Enhancement Potion that increases stats permanently!”
“D*mn, Old Feng. This auction actually has potions like that? I have to buy one, man! I’ll have to buy it even if it costs a million per potion!”
Big Pineapple became excited while looking at the virtual screen, which had now shifted to a picture of the Enhancement Potion.
Feng Luo remained silent.
Before the auction, the W-virus Enhancement Potion had already reached 10 million credits per potion, and though Big Pineapple would probably make tens of millions in this auction, it was hard to say if he could actually get one.
However, Feng Luo clearly could not say that he was the mysterious player. Sometimes, becoming rich while remaining silent was the best choice, after all!
“Apart from the permanent stat Enhancement Potion, there is also another mysterious item which will be revealed as the grand finale of the auction.” Sister Rui’s speech on the auction stage was coming to an end!
“Now, I’m sure everyone’s raring to go. So, without further ado, Huan Yu’s Storm City June auction officially begins!”
Sister Rui turned around and left the stage. After that, a smiling man and woman walked onto the stage. At the same time, the first auction item appeared on the virtual screen in front of every player.
It was a 1.2-meter-long grayish-black stylish sniper rifle made from a metallic material overflowing with electricity.
“The opening item, Eye of the Thunder!”
