What a loss! What a loss indeed! Why are those B-Grade potions so God damn expensive? My points and B-Rank Authorization!! Just like that, my Legendary Grade item is gone. This is so painful!
Big Pineapple looked depressed when the lot of them left the special agent center and met again.


It’s a good thing she did not use that many potions. Due to the extra C-Rank Authorization, my B-Rank Authorization did not have to be broken up. I’ll be working hard to complete some missions these next few days so I can exchange for Special Agent Points with my Merits. By then, I’ll be able to directly exchange and obtain a Legendary Grade item.
Phoenix, on the other hand, looked delighted.

The
she
that Phoenix was referring to was, naturally, Dark Phoenix.

Dark Phoenix’s strength was definitely comparable to the best players of the game. In life-threatening situations, she would not even bother using potions. Additionally, since she performed dazzlingly during the mission, Phoenix’s extra rewards were also very good. In that sense, she profited a lot.

Her idea was the same as Feng Luo’s initial idea as she wanted to keep the B-Rank Authorization for later so that she could directly get a piece of Legendary Grade gear.

One could not deny that it was definitely a shortcut to owning a Legendary Grade item.


I’ve also disassembled my authorization…
Onishi also looked resigned.

Earlier, he used a lot of the special agent flash grenades, special smoke grenades, and button bombs earlier during the mission. Although they were incredibly helpful during battles, the amount of authorization deduction at the end was also quite considerable.

In the end, his B-Rank Authorization had to be disassembled into three C-Rank Authorizations, just so he had enough to pay for the authorization deductions.


My infiltration device can be returned directly.
Digital Cat said calmly after raising her head to look at the four people around her.

She was definitely the one who profited the most, as her item was not a consumable one. As long as she returned it, it was alright. This pretty much meant that she had borrowed it and had used it for free.

As for what she used the B-Rank Authorization for, Digital Cat did not have any plans to reveal it. With her genius brain, it was pretty much a certainty that she would find the most suitable way to use it.


I’ve also been rewarded with a C-Rank Authorization, and since I had a lot of bullets left, my B-Rank Authorization did not have to be disassembled. However, if I did not disassemble it, I wouldn’t be able to exchange for the item I wanted, so I can only wait and see now.
Feng Luo said.

After much consideration, Feng Luo ultimately decided not to disassemble his B-Rank Authorization.

After all, it was probably quite difficult to obtain a B-Rank Authorization. Feng Luo felt that if the next mission was not a group mission, the difficulty would not be as high and so, he ultimately decided to wait and see.

He decided to first head to the exchange in an attempt to find a suitable blueprint. Of course, it would be even better if he could find a 14.5mm caliber sniper rifle that could be modified.

Even if that did not work, he could always try to design a rifle on his own.

Truth be told, after working on the Eye of the Thunder, it had been a while since he last worked on creating a gun.

Due to a series of missions and leveling up, whether it was his Ammunition Manufacturer or Gun Mechanic life profession, the experience bar had not progressed in quite a while.

Although he had a lead in the beginning, by now, among the top life profession players, his progress could be considered behind.

…

When it came to life professions, Feng Luo had been hesitating about a problem for the past two days.

Feng Zhi Dan Heng Ammunition Store was now closed. Everything in the store had been transported to Storm City. He could not decide if he wanted to open up another store.

After all, compared to the income he was getting from missions and the Permanent Enhancement Potion sales he was getting with Lin, the menial income he was getting from the ammunition store was no longer all that important.

After going from focusing on his life profession to focusing on his combat profession, Feng Luo found out that he looked forward to and liked the passionate and stimulating battles a lot more.

In particular, after he had awakened the Force and could surpass Level 50, his interest in leveling up and obtaining strength had surpassed his interest in making guns and ammunition, especially after proving that the Force was connected to his body in reality.

However, if he did not open the ammunition store, then how should he deal with Lan and Jing Xiang, the two NPC saleswomen?

More importantly, how should he deal with the Master Gun Mechanic, Old John?

Old John was still a mystery, and it was possible that a large-scale hidden mission was still in waiting with him. So, if Feng Luo did not open a shop, where should he put Old John?


Beep! You’ve got a call!
As if the system had detected Feng Luo’s hesitation, his comms device suddenly started beeping.


Boss!
As for the person who appeared on the other side, they were his two NPC saleswomen.


Lan, you’re out of the quarantine zone?
Feng Luo looked at the thin and pallid female salesperson whose eyes were still filled with fear on the screen of his comms device. It had only been two days since they last saw each other but it was clear that Lan had lost a lot of weight.

It was not odd since no matter who it was, anyone who experienced that sort of thing would not be able to calm down in such a short amount of time.

Although the players of Storm City did not seem affected, with players continuing to farm monsters, work on missions, PK, and even being excited about the start of the Biohazard Crisis and war missions, creating parties to head to Silvermoon City to farm monsters and zombies, in the world of NPCs, the world had been chaotic the past two days.

Due to the Biohazard Crisis storyline and the chaos and unrest caused by the large-scale war, unease and tensions had already spread to other places.

As one of the main cities of the Federation which was known as the number one military city, Storm City had welcomed and taken in a large swathe of refugees the past two days. As a consequence; unrest, strikes, parades, and even police assault and other types of chaotic behavior continued to pop up all over the place.

It was only natural for the three NPCs, who had been living in Silvermoon City prior to the events and had just arrived at Storm City after being transported by military transport boats, to try and look for Feng Luo.

In the game, after the relationship between players and NPCs reached a certain degree, not only would the NPC help the players, the players were also required to help the NPCs.

Of course, it was not compulsory; however, it was fundamental if the player wanted to maintain a good approval rating with the NPC.


As long as you guys are okay, that’s good. Where is Old John?
Feng Luo asked.


Master John is currently resting.
Lan moved the comms device back a little bit and showed Old John snoring on a seat behind her.


He can still sleep like this even after experiencing something like this?
Feng Luo seemed a bit speechless after looking at Old John’s state.

The frightening experience of the Biohazard Crisis for NPCs was definitely something that was life-scarring. It should have been impossible for one to forget the fear in a short amount of time, even with the help of mental healing devices or inhibitory drugs.

From Lan and Jing Xiang’s mental state, one could easily see that. Even though they were only numbers and data, their expressions and behaviors were no different than normal humans.

However, Old John was a unique case, and to be able to still sleep and snore so loudly.

Moreover, Feng Luo was quite confident that if the transport boat did not forbid the existence of alcohol, Old John would most definitely be holding an empty liquor bottle in his hands while sleeping away.


I’ll go get you guys at the rendezvous point.
Feng Luo said to the comms device after thinking for a brief moment.


Beep! You’ve got a call!
However, just as Feng Luo disconnected the call, he received a new incoming call.


Brother Feng?
My World’s face appeared on the comms device’s screen. Beside him were Watermelon Skin and Steel Fortress. In addition, the female doctor Azure and two other female Manipulators were also visible.

They contacted Feng Luo to return the gears they had borrowed from Feng Luo earlier.

Feng Luo had been so busy since the day before; apart from that, everyone else, excluding Steel Fortress, only managed to resurrect in different cities yesterday afternoon. That was why they wanted to personally bring the items back to Feng Luo.

After thinking for a bit, Feng Luo decided to have them wait outside Lin’s lab building, on the casual platform.

After picking up the three NPCs, he would go and meet the group.
