Chapter 298: Special Agent Codename

The luxurious box was almost 300 square meters, and it had full environment simulation functions . Big Pineapple was looking left and right, touching things here and there as he rambled .

“Holy f*ck, Old Feng, you’re really something . Not only do you have a private room, but it’s also the magnificent box number two!”

“I heard that all the luxurious boxes after number five are occupied all year round by the top ten guilds, while the top five world-class boxes are all reserved for super VIP clients or the higher-ups of large financial groups in the real world! And here, you’ve actually managed to get yourself the number two box . Tsk, tsk!”

“I say, Old Feng . You aren’t the heir of some large financial group, right?”

“You’re thinking too much . We’ve provided Huan Yu Company more than a hundred Rare Grade items to sell, so naturally, we’re considered VIP clients . So it’s natural for us to get the number two box!” said Feng Luo . He was calmly seated on the sofa with a virtual screen floating on top of it, browsing through the auction catalog .

Of course, he only said that to shut Big Pineapple up .

Apart from his relationship with Sister Rui, the real reason was probably due to the W-virus Enhancement Potion!

After Huan Yu’s marketing campaign, the W-virus Enhancement Potion had become incredibly popular . There were even threads appearing on the forum looking to buy one potion for as much as 10 million credits!

Due to this, 100 Enhancement Potions could fetch an incredible price!

Added to that, this was only the first batch . An endless supply would be provided to Huan Yu Company in the future, so the profits would be incredible .

Moreover, based on the Epic Mission information, Intermediate and Advanced Enhancement Potions would appear in the future as a result of Lin’s research . The potential value of those was the focus of Huan Yu Company, which was also the reason why Feng Luo and Big Pineapple were put in box number two .

Big Pineapple toured the room one more time and sat beside Feng Luo on the sofa . With his usual carefree and casual look, he said, “Alright, then . But Old Feng, I have a very important and serious question I need to ask you . ”

“Hmm?” Feng Luo’s gaze was still on the auction catalog . He wanted to see if there were any other items that would pique his interest in the auction .

Puzzled, Big Pineapple asked, “Erm… The Disguise ID and Special Agent Codename that you gave me yesterday, are they really meaningful names in War?”

“First of all, you’re the one who said you have a problem with naming and asked me to help you make up the names, so you can’t blame me if they don’t sound nice . ”

“But the two names are definitely very strongly related to the world of War . Relax, even if the players don’t understand it, the NPCs will definitely understand the awesomeness and deep meaning of your ID and Codename!” said Feng Luo without moving his eyes from the catalog .

Big Pineapple thought for a bit and displayed a satisfied expression . “Alright then!”

“I really can’t understand the Codename ‘Black Tortoise,’ but it does sound kinda cool . As for the disguise ID Maori Kogoro, it sounds pretty nice . Alright then, Old Feng, thanks!”

“Yeah, you’re welcome!” Feng Luo replied .

…

After a few minutes, Feng Luo finished browsing through the auction catalog .

Then, the scene changed into the hall of the auction .

The golden auction hall could accommodate over 50,000 people, but it was already full . There were also multiple hovercraft landing and departing outside .

Although the Federation army and rebel army had already begun their war, the players weren’t really affected . One might even say that the beginning of the war storyline spurred the market for higher-grade equipment and potions!

In two days, a few players who had received the war mission provided intel that war-related missions gave impressive rewards . One could earn more than a hundred Merit Points in one short day!

This was basically profiteering!

Even Feng Luo, after hearing that piece of news, felt tempted . After all, Merit Points could be traded for SAP on a ratio of 1:5! That meant a huge amount of Rare Grade equipment, B-grade Special Ammunition, and high-class energy crystals!

However, at that moment, there was a ruckus near the entrance of the hall . It seemed like someone important was entering .

“Ah, he’s here!”

“Prince charming? Ah, I see him!”

As expected, a group of players wearing either high-end casual wear or full sets of glamorous equipment entered together and walked towards the rotating tech lift beside the hall .

“Looks like a group from September Guild . Isn’t the person standing in the middle September Night Rain?”

“September Night Rain-sama!”

“Prince charming!… You’re so handsome!”

A lot of young female players, and even some younger male players, shouted ecstatically at the top of their lungs .

“Hello, everyone!”

September Night Rain couldn’t help but stop . He gave the crowds a gentle and friendly smile, but his eyes were filled with darkness .

Clearly, he wasn’t in a good mood .

He had failed the hidden mission at the last moment, and more importantly, he was killed by Feng Luo and his Bladed Beetles before he could even do anything to retaliate . It was as embarrassing as it could get .

The worst part of it all was that among the items added to the auction item list published by Huan Yu Company yesterday were all of his dropped items, including his Whisper of the Wind ornament!

He did not need to wonder where that equipment had come from .

When they were on the casual platform, he had only tried to get close to Sister Rui because he knew her role as the person-in-charge of Huan Yu Company in Storm City .

He would never have imagined that Sister Rui would treat him so coldly the entire time, even using the “couple restaurant” topic to leave with Feng Luo after he invited her to lunch! It had been utterly embarrassing .

He remembered the incident and had remained bitter about it ever since .

With his popularity, if he needed a woman in War, the girls and women all throughout Storm City would line up and let him choose . They might even fight each other for him!

But for a woman to ignore him?!

However, he learned Rui’s real-world identity from a wealthy young lady who entered his September Guild after being mesmerized by him . After that, the anger he felt had all dissipated . It even spurred his desire to conquer this woman!

As such, during the days he had been working on the hidden profession mission, he had asked his subordinates to continue sending flowers to her .

And around ten days ago, he had even reserved luxurious box number six in advance .

However, the items that Huan Yu Company added yesterday afternoon made his face green and blue . It completely pissed him off, and he had ended up breaking some of the nice things inside his mansion!

He was certain that the woman was with the Sniper . She intentionally put his equipment on the auction, and even made his Whisper of the Wind the second to last item on the auction!

News of him failing the hidden mission and losing all his equipped gear had been suppressed by the higher-ups of the guild, and they even denounced the people who were spreading word of what happened . The guild leaders claimed it was fake news, and they initiated crisis management in their public relations department .

However, the moment Whisper of the Wind and the rest of his top-class Wind Manipulator equipment were listed on the auction, external chatter and doubts peaked instantly . Several competitors had already started to take advantage of the situation .

That was why he was so angry . Initially, he did not even want to participate in the auction .

If it weren’t for the fact that the guild leader of September Guild was forcing him to cooperate in their attempt to repurchase his equipment and keep the PR situation from worsening, he never would have come!

“Broken Wing, Feng Zhi Luoye… Good!”

September Night Rain looked gloomy . He turned around and walked towards his luxurious box on the top floor with his companions .
