Chapter 307: S-Grade Assessment

As the female host continued to bombard Gone with the Wind with all kinds of questions, wringing gasps of shock from the players in the auction hall, Feng Luo packed up the things he had bought and prepared to leave.

“Let’s go!” he called to Big Pineapple

Coincidentally, when the two reached the rotating escalator, they encountered Red Queen’s group, who were also leaving.

Within Red Queen’s group, Neutron Star was the one who was best acquainted with the two of them. He immediately noticed and greeted them.

“Feng, Big Pineapple… It’s actually you.”

“Haha, yes! What a coincidence! Old Star, I didn’t know you were here for the auction too!” Big Pineapple said, but his perverted gaze was already on White Crescent, who was standing beside Red Queen, as well as another very tall and slender female Scout player.

“White Sis, long time no see. Wow, you’ve become prettier!” Big Pineapple smacked his lips and gasped as he looked at White Crescent, who wore white office attire.

“Eh? Why isn’t Sis Glazed Ice here?”

“Ice has a mission. Thank you, Mr. Big Pineapple, for thinking about her!” Red Queen remained calm and completely ignored Big Pineapple’s stare that always went for the vital spots.

“I’ve always wanted to duel you again, under the condition where equipment and levels are completely fair!” Black Panther had been staring at Feng Luo since the beginning. As he spoke, his desire for battle could be seen in his eyes.

“Yes, I’ve been rather busy lately. I’ll definitely oblige in the future if there’s a chance!” Feng Luo answered with a smile.

Black Panther was actually very strong. Among the Snipers whom Feng Luo had met, he was ranked number three. Like Sha Lang, he was one of the few genuine technical type Snipers (Corresponding type: Skill type) around!

Moreover, Feng Luo pretty confident that Black Panther had been the person who purchased the Perfect Eye of the Thunder for 1.05 million credits. However, though he admired Black Panther’s skills, Feng Luo was more confident about his own skills.

Even if he did not activate his second profession, the Light Armored Warrior profession, he was confident that he could defeat Black Panther again!

Moreover, it would be relatively easy!

“Mr. Feng, it has been a while!”

Red Queen was in the center of seven or eight players who were fully equipped with Rare Grade equipment. She wore a red energy robe with fine designs and an elegant cut, and she was equipped with three matching Rare Grade Fire-type decorative items as if she was shrouded in a ball of flame.

Compared to Gone with the Wind who was still strutting around on the golden stage, Red Queen had a much stronger aura! However, when she spoke, she looked profoundly at Feng Luo.

“It has been a while, Miss Red!” Feng Luo replied with another smile.

During the Silver Leaf Island mission, Red Queen had hired Feng Luo and Big Pineapple. His level and the grade of his gear were the lowest within the group, so their interactions back then weren’t really the same.

Apart from that, due to Red Queen’s natural disposition and her full set of Rare Grade gear which gave her incredible strength, she seemed superior!

However, at the moment, both of them could speak as equals!

One could even say that Feng Luo had the upper hand since he now possessed the hidden profession as well as the Legendary knife, Ghost Weep, as his trump card!

Of course, with Feng Luo’s personality, even if he were a Level 20 player with nothing but Normal Grade items and the opponent was a Level 50 player fully equipped with Legendary Grade items, he would still not feel inferior in the slightest.

He knew that as long as he wanted to, it wouldn’t be too difficult to reach the level of the one standing in front of him.

This was natural confidence!

“I never would have thought that I would meet Mister Feng and Mister Big Pineapple here at this auction. Everyone must be hungry after a full day of competitive bidding! Why don’t I invite the two of you to dine with me at the Royal Galaxy Restaurant?” Red Queen asked politely with a smile.

“Uh…” Big Pineapple was still staring at the cleavage of the tall and beautiful Scout, and his face showed that he was already completely intoxicated.

However, as he heard Red Queen’s question, his eyes suddenly cleared.

Before he said anything, he turned around to look at Feng Luo.

“Thank you, but we wouldn’t dare impose on you. The two of us have an important mission tonight, but we thank you for inviting us,” Feng Luo replied politely while looking straight into Red Queen’s eyes.

“Ugh, indeed, we have something on tonight. We have another event tonight…”

Big Pineapple was a little dumbstruck, but he still managed to nod and laugh, cooperating.

“Ah, that is unfortunate. We’ll have to do it next time, then…”

When she saw how Big Pineapple waited to determine Feng Luo’s opinion before answering, Red Queen’s eyes shone.

By then, the lot of them had already reached the entrance of the auction hall. Feng Luo pulled Big Pineapple, who was reluctant to leave, away. The two of them walked towards the rental hovercraft parking lot far away.

Seeing Big Pineapple and Feng Luo leave, Neutron Star, who did not notice Red Queen’s expression, groused, “I never would have thought that the two of them would work together. But they synergized well during the Silver Leaf Island mission. Moreover, their professions complemented each other, so it’s logical for them to be teammates…”

However, the tall and slender Scout standing beside Red Queen was very perceptive. She asked, “Sister Red, are you lamenting the fact that you failed to recruit them both?”

This question drew everyone’s attention to Red Queen in an instant.

“The two of them have good combat awareness. Moreover, from our analysis of their performance during the Silver Leaf Island mission, they possess amazing combat type talent!”

“The gunner’s combat awareness and techniques are especially world-class. Before this, there was still a level and equipment gap, but now, he has clearly closed that gap in at least one aspect. Someone who is able to sit inside the luxurious box area is definitely not someone who lacks credits.”

“If he had agreed to dine with me, I would have tried to recruit them once more during dinner. I might have had a good chance of securing Big Pineapple… The only thing is, he didn’t even give me the chance…” said Red Queen calmly.

“He’s just a Sniper who doesn’t look special at all! Is he really worth that much of Sister Red’s focus and energy?” asked an average looking Machine Gunner who wore a red bandana.

“The Hound Organization’s assessment on him was A-!” said White Crescent coldly.

“A-?”

“White, my assessment is A!” the Machine Gunner answered with pride.

“This A- was the assessment given to him by the Hound Organization. Back then, he was only Level 40, and he did not have a single piece of Rare Grade equipment on him!” answered White Crescent calmly. At the same time, she turned to look at Black Panther.

Black Panther glanced at the Machine Gunner and said in a low voice, “He dueled me twice. I lost both times…”

“How’s that possible? Brother Panther’s assessment in the Hound Organization’s database is A+…Ah! Could it be that he’s the one…?” The Machine Gunner looked shocked.

“Don’t believe that those flashy star players that the public reveres are the real top-class masters in the game!” said Red Queen. “For the truly strong, opportunities are abundant in a game like this. Even if a player has a bad start, as long as they have strength, when the time is right, he or she will transform into a dragon!”

After uttering that meaningful sentence, Red Queen turned around and walked towards a luxurious silver rental hovercraft. That kind of transportation cost several thousand credits per hour.

Black Panther, White Crescent, and Neutron Star followed close behind her.

The tall Scout’s gaze followed White Crescent, who was beside Red Queen. A sharp light glowed in her eyes. Then, she walked to another red hovercraft.

The others looked on as the scene unfolded in front of them. Then, they quickly followed her.

…

However, what Red Queen did not know was that on the night before, the Hound Organization’s database was updated!

“Feng Zhi Luoye. Level 46. Sniper (Second Profession: ?) … Suspected of passing the Special Agent (Hidden Profession) mission examination and obtaining the first place ranking. Suspected of possessing S-Grade attack type talent and powerful observational skills, memory, world-class combat awareness…”

“Incredibly strong. Slightly low level. Amazing potential. Overall Assessment: S!”

There was also an entry for Gone with the Wind, who had just obtained a Legendary Grade item and succeeded in soloing a Level 35 Independent type Commander Grade monster. He also possessed a hidden profession as well as a suspected S-Grade combat talent. His popularity was soaring, and he was destined to become a superstar player.

His overall evaluation in the database was only S-!
