Chapter 508: Scout Beetle Discovered!
“Starry Night, you have to be kidding. You said that you wanted to seize victory, but who’d have thought you’d have actually screwed up at the key point in time?” In the other team, four of the five star players who had finally arrived behind the last sand dune were fiercely criticizing the Fire Manipulator of the team.
“It was my miscalculation; this map range is too big. I’ve forgotten that bottle of B-Grade stamina potion had already been used, and so its usage has been restricted by the system, causing everyone to lose the advantage. How about this, once we leave later, I’ll make it up to everyone at the Starry Night Hotel.” The Fire Manipulator was covered in awkwardness.
As a Fire Manipulator with a plus point in overall intelligence, his movement speed was definitely damaging.
As a player who frequently PK-ed, his backpack would consistently have a set of agility-type equipment with the rare attribute of overall speed boost, and together with the usage of an agility potion, his speed would completely be able to catch up with most of the team in a short period of time.
This time, there was unfortunately a small problem – everything was the same as before.
When they were about to replenish their stamina, they realized that the only bottle of potion left had been used before in a previous PK.
Consumables could only be used once, the other few people did not have such a special continuously stamina-recovering potion on them – this was definitely a painful mistake.
In the end, he dragged down the team’s speed alone.
If not, according to the system’s balance calculation, both parties initially should have roughly reached and started battling for the targeted oasis at the same time.
“Alright, Old Night, you’re the one who said it, don’t blame us for taking from you till then.” The bearded Heavy Armored Warrior said with a fearsome look.
“Since it’s so, let’s change our battle tactic. Although the oasis would have been secured by them already, it seems like we’re not at a disadvantage in the battle. There’s two close-combats over there, and one less long-range than us – we just have to stand on the sand dunes and attack directly and we’d be able to be at an upper hand of more against fewer. With Machine Gunners present, the two Warriors might not be able to rush over to cut us up.” The Scout’s instructions were not bad – instantly thinking of a solution.
“We need to take note of that Sniper. Although my Wind Eagle’s health wasn’t high, it was still Level 46. To be able to be one-shot killed by him, it means that he either has equipment that’s good enough or he has an attack-type Talent. So Old Y, you have to contain him.” This Nine Star Guild Scout said to his Sniper companion.
“OK.” The Sniper nodded. He held his yellow sniper rifle that was almost as tall as a person – if Feng Luo had seen this sniper rifle, he probably would have felt that it was a little familiar.
This was the “Desert Tiger” that he had previously considered exchanging for before at the Agent equipment warehouse – this super-large 14.5MM caliber sniper rifle was not inferior in design to Barrett the “Python of Death.”
“Since they’ve all summoned pets, let’s not be hesitant about the Loyalty – everyone summon your pets.” The Scout player said again.
“To tap on pets – is this a little too much? Isn’t this just a fight for entertainment?” The Machine Gunner of the same guild looked towards him, a little doubtful.
“Don’t know who pa.s.sed the information out, I’ve just taken a look and realized that there’s already more than a hundred people here at my view watching the battle. Adding up the people from you all, think about it, just how many people there are watching the battle. With so many people watching, it’d really be embarra.s.sing if the five of us teamed up lost.” The Scout player smiled sheepishly.
This was something bad about star players – as star players, they would receive all sorts of attention at any time, even if it was entering a non-public arena.
Although normal players had no way of directly watching the battle in such non-guild arenas, each friend of the PK players could watch the battle through friend authorization.
Of course, for such non-public PKs, those watching would only be able to see from their friend’s field of view, and would not be able to switch to others’ field of view.
Regardless of whether it was spectators or other people, other than those with friend authorizations with Feng Luo, the other people would not be able to clearly see Feng Luo’s true appearance in the arena, as Feng Luo had set the restriction, his appearance seen by these people had been automatically altered by the system.
……
However, as star players, they could not possibly do as Feng Luo did and set restrictions.
To stars, popularity was the most important, to have attention is completely something that could not be asked for.
The friends of these people were not typical people. Normally, there were not many people who paid attention to their PK – at most, there would be over 10 people watching at the same time.
Just now, no one knew who had exposed the news of the five Storm City star players ranked at top 50 being allocated into the same team.
This high-quality match instantly attracted many people’s attention, and in just a few seconds, the spectator count had multiplied.
Some of their local tyc.o.o.n fans, compet.i.tors in the guild who were also star players, and even a few of the higher-ups in three of the top 10 guilds had joined in to watch the battle.
Having just checked out the people watching the battle, the Scout payer quickly decided to go all-out.
There was no choice – although it was said that star players were all about the fame, many a times they would really need to rely on the support of these stakeholders when they needed to fight for popularity.
“c.r.a.p, I have more than 100 here too…”
“I have 150 here…”
“121…”
The other players looked at their own spectator count and also understood why the Scout player had smiled sheepishly.
“Mm, then let’s use pets. Everyone, work hard. Take down this round and our Director said that he’d treat everyone to a whale of a time at the Heaven and Earth Entertainment City.”
“c.r.a.p, thanks to Director Zhao’s generous bet, I must now get my hands on this Rare ring, I’m just lacking this piece.”
The few players cheerfully answered their friends who greeted them as they summoned their pets.
Other than the Wind Eagle which had already been sniped by Feng Luo, there were three among the four pets now that were all Commander-Grade, which was not strange.
These star players of large guilds were able to receive support from the guild to directly help them purchase high-grade Pet Chips and capture high-grade pets.
Even if it did not, they were also able to possess Rare Elite pets with very high practicality like the Wind Eagle.
“Eh? Wait a moment.” However, just when the five of them were just preparing to take action after summoning their pets, the Scout player froze.
“Da, da, da…”
He turned his head swiftly, with the submachine gun in his hands pointing up at a spot in the sky and firing a huge number of bullets.
“Something’s up?” With the blackening of its field of view, Feng Luo had a look of shock as his vision returned to his own field of view again upon the death of his Scout beetle.
From using the Scout beetle, this was the first time it had been discovered by players from a long distance and been killed.
Something’s up.
