“That’s why, Miss Rui, I really must thank you . After all, if not for you, we would’ve failed the mission yesterday, and I would’ve lost this chance at the Hidden Profession Mission . ”

Seeing that Feng Luo had already been “locked in place,” the smile on September Night Rain’s face was even warmer .

“It’s just quite a pity that you, Miss Rui, hadn’t joined this mission of ours earlier . If not, according to mission contribution, I think this chance at the Hidden Profession Mission should’ve belonged to you, Miss Rui . This would then really be rewarding the deserving… Also, I’ve been thinking that the system should’ve given Miss Rui—such a high-standard, beautiful lady player—some exclusive treatment . After all, in all of War, there are very few female players who could have such an ability as Miss Rui’s . If War needed an ambassador, you’d definitely be more suitable than Light Dancing Sparrow because…”

Feng Luo suddenly felt like his own rather self-confident speech paled in comparison to that of this Water Manipulator who was presumably a star player . Or he could say that he was not as thick-skinned!

“Mister September, don’t you have your own things to do?” Sister Rui suddenly spoke up, her voice still calm but obviously much colder . “What a pity . These words have been used on the wrong person…”

Feng Luo knew that Sister Rui was already extremely angry inside . The more angered she was, the flatter and chillier her tone became .

Although there was a part of this September-whatever’s words that Feng Luo actually agreed with, which was referring to Sister Rui as not inferior to that “Light Dancing Sparrow,” whom many nerdy male players had called War’s Number One Goddess . Sister Rui would not have been touched by this kind of praise with her personality .

“Er—indeed, I have things to do . Two friends entered the PK field just now . I was prepared to come here to watch the battle . Didn’t expect to see Miss Rui; forgot about that for a moment . ”

Sensing the change in Sister Rui’s tone, the smile on September Night Rain’s face was still “warm” as he turned to say to the Scout player at his side, as if suddenly remembering something .

“Quickly go inform He Zong . Let him use my friends’ spectatorship authority to broadcast to everyone not to miss this showdown between Blade and Shadow!”

“Well then, Miss Rui, I’ll take my leave . The one in charge of this lounge platform, He Zong, is my friend . Just call out to the staff if you want anything!”

Finishing with a smile, September Night Rain brought his few players and walked off toward the control station of the lounge platform .

Seeing that September Night Rain had left, Sister Rui looked at Feng Luo and suddenly said, “I went to do a serial mission with a relative’s daughter over these two days, met a mission merger situation, and was combined with his mission . The mission was smoothly completed in the end, but that jerk exposed much of my information . ”

She didn’t even know herself why she had explained all that .

“This means that Sister Rui, you are charming…” Feng Luo joked .

“Little Feng, if you say something like that again, I’ll use you as a human shield next time . ” Sister Rui’s eyes briefly glanced at Feng Luo .

“Okay, Sister Rui! Show some mercy—I’m not suited as a human shield . ” Feng Luo hurriedly begged for mercy .

At that moment, from the communication station of the lounge platform levitating in mid-air, someone’s voice resounded . “Breaking news, breaking news! Two of the Top 10 Masters have just entered the PK field, prepared to engage in a single three-round friendly match . Light Armor Warrior ‘Icy Blade,’ in seventh place, versus Scout player ‘Hopeless Bullet,’ known as ‘Shadow God,’ in eighth place! The stage has already obtained consent from both sides; a broadcast of this ultimate showdown will be coming up on holographic channel one!”

“Everyone should know that typically, the Top 10 Masters are secretive; they would seldom PK publicly in an arena . So you mustn’t miss today’s incredible battle! Also, to disclose to everybody, our spectatorship of the battle today is owed to the friends of the God September Night Rain . At the moment, the God September Night Rain is just on our number 23 lounge platform, spectating the match with everybody . Everybody, please welcome him!”

“Hello, everybody!” September Night Rain said with his magnetic, attractive voice from the control station .

“The mighty September God!”

“So, September God is actually here! I shouldn’t have cut the movie just now—didn’t notice . ”

“Shadow God! My idol . ”

“F*ck! Shadow God versus Blade God! How could it be so exciting!”

A wave of cheering instantly sounded from the platform, displaying the influence of the top 10 Master-grade star players in Storm City .

“Boss He, cease with the suspense . Hurry up and switch on the broadcast!”

However, there were also many people on the platform who were not very interested in “stars” and what-not . But even for those who did not follow the stars, they were still very much looking forward to watching the PK between the masters . After all, the various sorts of experiences and moves in masters’ battles were valuable lessons for normal players .

“Right now, right now!”

The voice from before spoke again . Seconds later, the surroundings of the entire platform were completely changed—from its original position high in the air near the Hurricane Building to a levitating spectator platform that was a tournament map .

This was not an actual change in position; it was the use of holographic projection and environmental simulation technology on the surroundings of the spectator platform, changing the surrounding scenery . This was also the reason why this lounge platform could attract so many players! Furthermore, people who were not interested in tournaments could switch themselves out .

But Feng Luo and Sister Rui had no intention of switching out .

Feng Luo did have quite an interest in a battle between masters like these . At the moment, on the holographic tournament map, a Level-50 Light Armor Warrior and a Level-50 Scout had already begun to fight .

This tournament map was not considered very large—only about 300 meters in diameter and much smaller than the advanced desert map from before, when Feng Luo had fought with Black Panther, which was almost two kilometers .

However, this map was part of a natural forest region . Although only 300 meters, it provided enough operational space for both the Scout and the Light Armor Warrior . At the very least, the spectatorship of the battle between the two Top 10 Masters was sufficient .

From the Scout’s scouting of his opponent at the start to his secretive shift of orientation, he silently found a firing angle and made use of his head start to launch a sudden first strike . He fired a magazine of bullets that slipped through the gaps in the forest, accurately hitting the Light Armor Warrior in the chest and straightaway reducing the Light Armor Warrior’s HP by one-third .

After which, not backing down at all, he engaged “Quick Sneak” to widen their distance, swiftly and silently hiding in the dense forest!

The Light Armor Warrior—who was not holding an alloy sword but an alloy longsword—pretended not to know his opponent’s position . He then all of a sudden engaged Charge as he turned around, vigorously launching himself toward the Scout’s hiding position .

Every single move of the two players back and forth garnered cheers from some of the players on the platform!

******

“No wonder they’re so-called ‘Top 10 Masters . ’ These are at least some pretty strong abilities!”

Seeing the performance of the two, Feng Luo had gained a bit more understanding of the abilities of the “Top 10 Masters” .

Truly, the two on the field could indeed be considered to be masters . At least, among the people he had met, only Sha Lang, Red Queen, Sister Rui, and a minimal number of other people were comparable . However, they could not be compared to the masters who could make him feel stunned and stressed!

Their strength was mainly due to the complete set of Rare-grade equipment and the accumulated rare skills on them . Their mindfulness and the skills they displayed in battle were worthy of recognition, although they could not be considered truly top-notch . In the game, equipment itself was a part of one’s strength—that much was undeniable .

“Wow, look!”

“Unbelievable!”

At that moment, the spectator platform suddenly burst with a loud uproar .

On the PK map, the two had simultaneously activated their pets!
