Chapter 610: Mysterious Uncle Lin

After around two minutes, Feng Luo spoke . “Found them . ”

“Where?” The people from Nine Star Guild asked earnestly .

Feng Luo did not answer immediately, instead, he only frowned .

“What’s wrong?” Zi Wei asked .

Feng Luo opened his eyes, shook his head and said, “My scouting pet was killed by the people from North City . ”

After discovering traces of the main forces of the North City players from afar, Feng Luo moved the Scout Beetle a little bit closer but before he knew it, the Scout Beetle was shot dead by a bullet from below .

The Scout Beetle’s camouflage ability was incredibly strong; however, it was not invincible . For example, Jing Kong could use his Legendary Grade recon meter to discover the Scout Beetles in the sky .

Among the North City players underneath, there was either a Scout with a special scouting or detection talent or it was one with a similar Legendary Grade recon meter .

Apart from that, they also had an expert Sniper, as the shot that killed the Scout Beetle just now was a sniper bullet .

The good thing was that Feng Luo had already taken into account the complex situation on the island, so the three Scout Beetles that Feng Luo dispatched were only Elite Grade beetles . As long as he did not lose Commander Grade Scout Beetles that also could block detection skills, his losses wouldn’t be too great .

Moreover, while the Scout Beetle was killed, using the eagle eye vision advantage, he had still discovered the enemy’s position .

“Their people are here right now . ” Feng Luo pointed his finger at a location on the 3D map of the island projected by a player’s technology spectacles . “This location is between the main base and the fifth and sixth base . The terrain is a forest, and they have the high ground . If we had followed our original plan, which was to move after clearing the monsters, whether we moved toward the sixth base or the main base, we would have been ambushed by them . ”

“It looks like there is no longer any doubt . They are planning to fight us first . ” Jing Kong looked at their position and said with a cold laugh .

An upper management member of Nine Star Guild said, “We can’t fight them head-on . We have lost 30% of our members already . If we fight them now, even if we have Frontline Command’s command skill bonus and ‘that,’ our chances of winning will still be very low . ”

When he said “that,” he intentionally glanced at Feng Luo .

It was clear that the “that” he was referring to was a secret of the Nine Star Guild . With Feng Luo the only outsider present, there was no need to speak openly about it .

“Their current position is closer to the Rebel Army than us . ” Feng Luo did not pay any heed and spoke .

“Mr . Feng is correct… If the island only had us and them, then we would have to fight them no matter what . However, right now the island has three camps, and the Rebel Army’s force is not any weaker than ours . With this, we have more options,” Zi Wei said while nodding .

“Zi Wei, you mean our next action is to sit still? After that, we’ll wait for the Rebel Army to meet and fight the people from North City first . Then, we will enter the fray and finish things up?” a Nine Star Guild member asked .

“Letting the Rebel Army camp fight the North City forces is the best option . However, staying still is not an option . ” Zi Wei shook her head .

“Since we have the means to observe their position, they may also have ways to monitor our movements . If we are currently being monitored by them, suddenly staying put and not doing anything may alarm them . The most important thing right now is that not everyone within our group can be trusted . ” After that, she looked toward the Heavy Armor Warrior she earlier referred to as Uncle Lin . “Oh, that’s right . Uncle Lin, are you sure that the Scout with the ID Gold Karat and his friends are problems?”

“Yes, I’m certain . Just now, they were whispering and whatever they spoke could not be heard . However, you should know that apart from listening, I can also read them with my eyes . They seem to have some sort of agreement with those from North City . Moreover, it seems like their main target is now Mr . Feng . ” An aged voice came from underneath the heavy alloy mask while a pair of muddy eyes looked toward Feng Luo .

Zi Wei had already relayed this information to Feng Luo before . That was why Feng Luo was not surprised . However, when he heard Uncle Lin talk about using his eyes to read them, his heart skipped a beat .

“Uncle Lin, you mean to say that you can know what they are saying just from watching them?” As if he was very oblivious and curious, Feng Luo deliberately intervened and asked .

“A simple trick, gather some information by observing the lip movements of the people speaking . It isn’t really useful in real life, but it still has its uses in the game . ” Uncle Lin spoke with a sigh .

“It is as I expected huh…” Feng Luo never would have thought that he would meet another person who knew how to read lips .

It was mentioned earlier that due to the technological advances of the Star Federation, the scanning eyepiece that soldiers wore could easily identify the delicate movements of a human’s mouth from hundreds of meters away . Besides, for disabled people like deaf people, hospitals could also completely heal them . As such, there was no basis for “lip reading” to even exist .

However, Uncle Lin really knew how to read lips .

Moreover, from his voice, this person was probably quite old .

For such an old person to play the game, it was undoubtedly very rare . Not to mention he was playing as a Heavy Armor Warrior, the profession that requires the most stamina .

In addition to that, the upper management of the Nine Star Guild, even Zi Wei, the deputy guild leader, treated this Heavy Armor Warrior with the utmost respect . This made Feng Luo pay a lot more attention to Uncle Lin now .

However, after Uncle Lin finished speaking, he did not continue with that topic . Feng Luo also stopped asking any more questions .

The topic they were discussing inside the makeshift meeting room included topics such as how to get North City’s forces to fight against the rebel army first, how to prevent the spies in the team from providing intel to the people from North City, exposed plans, and various other problems .

When speaking about that, the upper management of Nine Star Guild’s tactical planning ability finally bared its fangs .

After just five minutes, the seven inside the room had concluded . After that, they immediately delegated the tasks and separated to execute their plans .

“Mr . Feng, thank you . We made you lose your scout pet too . ” Zi Wei said while walking with Feng Luo outside .

“No need to thank me . My pet is a bit special so the loss isn’t that great . Moreover, I’ve already got two Chips with me . If your Nine Star Guild’s mission fails, I don’t think I’ll be able to take that loss . Moreover, I am still looking forward to the Boss chip inside the main base . ” Feng Luo said in a joking manner .

However, the moment they exited the door, they walked past a person fully clad in silver armor .

It was the number one expert in the Nine Star Guild – Sword Ki Long River .

Feng Luo and Sword Ki Long River nodded to each other . They did not speak . After that, Feng Luo continued to walk with Zi Wei outside .

Inside the room, only the Heavy Armor Warrior called Uncle Lin was left .

Sword Ki Long River, who remained stone-faced no matter who he faced, put his hands together in salute and bowed very respectfully . Then, he respectfully called out, “Master . ”

At that moment, Feng Luo was already far away Otherwise, if he were to hear that, he would probably feel weirded out .

The reason was that it was incredibly rare for someone in Star Civilization to use the word “master . ” Normally, they would only use the word “teacher . ”

More importantly, putting their hands together to salute while bending the waist to bow was a very weird act . It was more like an ancient Chinese cultural etiquette .
