Chapter 296: First Legendary Grade Equipment?

Chapter 296: First Legendary Grade Equipment?

“It looks like I’m really not well-versed in the auctioning business!” Feng Luo joked in a self-deprecating way.

This couldn’t be blamed on Feng Luo. It was mainly because his previous profession path hadn’t required him to pay too much attention to top-class equipment. He also rarely ever auctioned items in the past.

And the most recent auction he took part in was the one in the bar in Nightless City where he got the Level 39 Desert Eagle.

However, in truth, the auction in the bar was more of an event that Mu Wu organized to create a more lively atmosphere at the bar, and the items auctioned there weren’t top drawer items. Naturally, the price difference between items auctioned there and at Huan Yu’s large-scale auction was incredibly large.

“But I remember that the ornament, Whisper of the Wind, was bought by September Night Rain in the Starry Sky Company’s auction. The September guild was backing him, and they used that opportunity to increase his fame,” Sister Rui said with an odd expression while looking at Feng Luo.

“And I heard rumors yesterday that September Night Rain failed in his hidden profession change mission. Not only did he lose a level, but he also lost most of the best items he had…”

“Little Feng, this ornament can’t be from him, can it?!”

Clearly, this was the reason why Sister Rui had a weird expression on her face.

After all, September Night Rain had only lost his stuff a day before, and Feng Luo was already in possession of one of his items. It was highly likely the two facts were connected.

Furthermore, Sister Rui also noticed that among Feng Luo’s gear, eight or nine of the best items were for Wind Manipulators.

Thus, she had a pretty solid guess!

In addition, Feng Luo and September Night Rain didn’t seem very friendly when they encountered each other on the casual platform just a few days ago. It wouldn’t be much of a surprise if Feng Luo had taken out September Night Rain during the mission.

“Yeah, September Night Rain’s mission coincided with mine…” Feng Luo did not say it explicitly, but Sister Rui had already understood Feng Luo’s words.

“That means that you’ve succeeded in the hidden profession change mission, and you are now that hidden profession!” The shock on her face was even more apparent now.

In regards to the fact that Feng Luo defeated September Night Rain, she was not all that surprised. She was well aware of the real strength of the so-called “Storm City’s top ten superstar players.” One should not forget that Sister Rui was also a top-notch Machine Gunner!

“Yup. I changed to a ‘Special Agent’…”

Feng Luo briefly explained the Special Agent profession and examination mission to Sister Rui. The system did not restrict players from divulging mission content information to others.

“I never would have imagined that the mission would be so interesting. A disguise mission, death game… It’s unfortunate, really. I almost got the examination qualification last time!” said Sister Rui regretfully after hearing Feng Luo’s words.

“If you want to participate, you’ll definitely succeed. Moreover, the hidden profession isn’t a one-time thing; there are opportunities in the future!” said Feng Luo with a smile.

“Right. But for now, I don’t have time. I will need at least a month to deal with the incident in Storm City. If I can’t turn things around with this Starry Sky Company situation, I probably won’t have time to do other things!” said Sister Rui, smiling. Then, she changed the subject back to the “Whisper of the Wind” Feng Luo held in his hand.

“I will put the Whisper of the Wind set as the second to last item to be auctioned. I believe that it will be able to fetch a higher price than last time. There might be a chance that we can sucker punch the Starry Sky Company!” Sister Rui was clearly very confident.

The Whisper of the Wind ornament was definitely one of the best items for Wind Manipulators. Furthermore, it had a stylish look, and there was never a lack of wealthy players in War who would fight for it!

More importantly, September Night Rain might spend a huge chunk of change to get it back!

The top ten masters ranking wasn’t fixed; moreover, once the public learned he had been killed and lost his items, September Night Rain’s popularity would definitely drop. He might even be squeezed out of the top ten masters ranking!

As such, he had to retrieve all his dropped items to make it seem like all the rumors of him losing his items were false before news spread. Only then would he be able to stabilize the situation!

His other gear wouldn’t be too difficult to retrieve if he was willing to spend a lot. However, for something like Whisper of the Wind, there were probably only a few of the items in the entire game. How would he get his hands on one in such a short time?

That was why it was highly likely that the ornament would fetch a high price in the auction the next day; the final buyer was incredibly likely to be September Night Rain!

However, Feng Luo was more curious about the final auction item that the incredible Whisper of the Wind could not beat. Just what was the grand finale item for the auction?

When Feng Luo asked, Sister Rui laughed and asked in return, “Do you know Glory Group?”

“Glory Group… Yes. I’ve seen them on the forum before,” Feng Luo answered with a nod.

Isn’t Glory Group the guild that posted the hot thread on the Storm City forum about killing the Level 55 Desert Tarantula in the Withered Desert?

“This Glory Group is a new growing power in Storm City. In just one month, they’ve acquired over a dozen smaller guilds and companies. If we’re just speaking in terms of member number, they have even surpassed the last two guilds in the top ten guilds ranking!”

“And just today, Glory Guild organized another group of 5,000 players over Level 45 to raid a large-scale Desert Tarantula nest in Withered Desert, successfully killing the Level 55 Boss inside!”

“Five thousand?”

Although the Boss is indeed very strong, they shouldn’t need so many people, right? At most, you’d need 2,000 to take out a Level 55 Boss. Feng Luo frowned.

Although the Bosses in War were scary, they weren’t unkillable. Theoretically speaking, around 500 mainstream players would equal the combat strength of a Boss monster.

Even if the Boss was Level 55, and the average level of players was around Level 47 or 48, the gap should be filled with four times the number of players!

So 5,000 players was a bit too much.

Friendly fire was possible in War, so if a group of players was too large, it would become difficult for melee and long-range professions to work together. On the contrary, it would waste time and effort!

“They formed 20 groups and attacked in turns. In the end, over 2,800 died before they finally brought the Boss down!”

“Over 2,800 deaths?” Feng Luo frowned even more.

Clearly, this was simply a human wave attack. It relied purely on the sacrifice of multiple lives and using numbers to overwhelm and overrun the Level 55 boss!

A pure human wave attack was not very practical in War, and it was sure to incur huge losses! Dying in War, even while fighting a Boss monster, meant dropping not just experience, but items and equipment too.

In other games, the items dropped by players in a Boss raid could be picked up by one’s teammates, so losses were limited to consumables and experience. The loot gained by winning made up for the losses.

However, in War, it was completely different!

Apart from decorative items, every other piece of equipment in War could be damaged, and not all damage could be repaired.

Especially in Boss battles. Since Boss monsters had powerful skills that were incredibly destructive, the items dropped by the dead players might become obsolete after getting hit two or three times.

Thus, the human wave attack would only increase the cost of fighting the Boss, even resulting in a net loss!

“You’re saying that almost 3,000 Level 45 players died charging the Boss? How is this Boss so strong?”

However, the reason Feng Luo frowned wasn’t that he couldn’t understand Glory Group’s usage of the human wave attack; instead, it was due to the sheer number of deaths.

Although Level 50 Bosses were really strong, they shouldn’t have been able to take out that many players. Other guilds had fought Bosses above Level 50 before too, and the casualty numbers were never that high!

“The Boss was a bit weird. From videos, it’s obvious that it is incredibly strong. I feel like it’s not a normal Level 55 Boss!” Sister Rui seemed to have understood Feng Luo’s puzzlement.

“But we’ve gotten off course. What I wanted to say is that after the Boss died, apart from dropping core crystals and Rare grade equipment, it also dropped a piece of special equipment, and information about the equipment was immediately locked down by the higher-ups of Glory Guild!”

“Special equipment… Could it be… Legendary Grade?” Feng Luo raised his head and looked at Sister Rui in surprise.

“Little Feng! You even know about Legendary Grade gear!? But you are right, it was indeed a Legendary Grade item, and it is also the grand finale item for our auction tomorrow. The first Legendary Grade equipment in War!” Sister Rui said while looking at Feng Luo, shocked.
