“This...” The captain, My World, started to hesitate, as he did not want to decline Feng Luo’s offer.

Feng Luo wanted to give each of them a gift, this included Tangerine and Tea Flower, the two manipulators. Although he was the captain, it was not a good idea for him to decide for his teammates.

“Haha, actually, Brother Feng, you don’t have to give us anything. After Steel and I completed the mission of protecting Old John, the system sent us a notification saying that we will be rewarded,” the Doctor player, Azure, said to Feng Luo with a smile. “Oh, that’s right. Now that we’re talking about it, Brother Feng, we actually came here for another thing, and it is related to the reward for this mission.”

“The reward concerning the mission of protecting Old John?” Upon hearing this, Feng Luo’s face became filled with excitement as he was drawn in by Azure’s words.

With regard to the system issuing a mission to protect Old John, Feng Luo was actually quite curious about it.

After all, there were many high-level NPCs in Silvermoon City, and when the Biohazard Crisis began, it did not seem like the system issued any other special mission.

“When Brother Steel and I completed the mission back then, the system did not give us our rewards immediately. We only received a system message an hour later. The message asked us to come to Storm City to find Master John to claim our reward. Since we knew that Master John was your store’s employee, we wanted to ask you his whereabouts,” Azure said to Feng Luo.

“You’re going to receive the reward from Old John? Are you sure?” Feng Luo seemed quite surprised by the information, as he knew that Old John was currently penniless. Even his pockets were empty. What would Old John reward the players with?

“Additionally, I also seemed to have worked on that protection mission, but the system did not even mention a single word about a reward. Just what is this ‘hidden mission’ that is associated with Old John?” Feng Luo complained a little in his mind while he said to the others, “Yeah, I know where he is. However, he is currently sleeping. I’ll bring you guys over to meet him after he wakes up. But Azure, don’t change the topic. I’ve already said that I want to give you gifts as thanks, you guys won’t want to make me break my promise, won’t you?”

Just as Azure let out a breath of relief, Feng Luo suddenly pulled the topic back to the reward he was going to give to the group while smiling wryly at Azure.

...

With Feng Luo’s insistence, the players could no longer persevere.

Feng Luo searched through the Exchange and provided them a list of Excellent items to choose from. Among the item options that Feng Luo provided, Watermelon Skin chose a combat uniform, My World chose a pair of gloves, Steel Fortress chose an alloy chest plate, while Tangerine and Tea Flower each chose a magician’s robe that suited their profession.

However, when it was Azure’s turn, she chose something unexpected. She asked if Feng Luo could change her reward to a C-Grade potion formula chip.

It was a type of buff potion that increases a team’s strength significantly. Clearly, she was thinking about improving her team as a whole, and naturally, Feng Luo agreed.

On the list that he provided the group, there were also a few Excellent Grade items that weren’t inferior to the performance of common Rare Grade items. However, none of those from the group chose the more expensive and slightly better items; instead, they chose the less expensive and less amazing items.

The behavior of My World’s party impressed Feng Luo even more.

After selecting items with her teammates, Tangerine, who looked extremely delighted, suddenly turned towards Feng Luo and said, “Oh, that’s right, Brother Feng, have you logged on to the forum? They’re saying on the forum that a player called Invikill has awakened the Force.”

Feng Luo nodded and said, “Yeah, I just saw that.”

“But Steel told all of us that you are the real first person who awakened the Force. Does this not mean that this person called Invikill stole all the glory that should belong to you? I think that you should have posted news about yourself on the forum earlier. Now, even if you want to say you are first, it would already be too late,” Tangerine said angrily.

“Uhm... About this...” Feng Luo shook his head with an awkward smile. It was really a topic that was going to be difficult to continue discussing.

Earlier when he sold the Force Awakening Solution, he had already signed a non-disclosure agreement with Mr. X which prevented him from talking about the deal in the game.

Since the number of people who knew that he had awakened the Force the day before was limited to around a dozen or so players from Veterans Tribe, maybe just a few more due to gossiping, and there was no confirmed information about it. That was also why Mr. X was willing to spend so much to purchase something that could substantially increase the popularity and fame of the guild.

That was also the reason why Feng Luo could not clarify things, and could only explain and say that he did not care about such things.

“But in the replies to the post, many people seemed to be intentionally trying to make him out to be the number one Sniper in the game. Isn’t this a bit too cocky?” Watermelon Skin said angrily.

In his mind, in the video of the Sniper player’s battle with Thousand Miles, the “Sniper” did not even fire a single shot.

No matter what anyone said, he did not deserve the title of the “Number One Sniper in War.”

“Number one Sniper, huh?” Feng Luo’s face twitched slightly as he heard the phrase.

Feng Luo’s personality was one that really didn’t care about being famous. In terms of Death Roar being the “Number One Sniper in War” before, he also did not feel anything.

However, this time, when he heard someone new being crowned as the new “Number One Sniper,” he felt a little bit different.

Why was he feeling a little irritated?

Moreover, he suddenly became the “Number One Sniper” after just defeating Thousand Miles. This was clearly the September Guild making attempts to promote him.

“But did Thousand Miles really not notice his movements during the PK battle?” Feng Luo’s mind replayed the video he saw earlier.

After the person called Invikill sneaked behind Thousand Miles, Feng Luo noticed an odd sense of calm and indifference hidden within the eyes of the supposedly surprised face of Thousand Miles.
