Fatal Shot Chapter 504 – A Commander

“This brat is actually daring to hit on Phoenix and, furthermore, is clearly acting dumb – does he want to be toyed to death?” Big Pineapple said softly by Feng Luo's ear as he looked at Phoenix, who completely had no change in expression, feeling sorry for the “gigolo.”

For the convenience of using weapons, players would choose to set the rings they wear into Perfectly Hidden state – this fellow had clearly deliberately switched off the accessory's Hidden setting to let everyone notice his ring.

For the price of a Rare-Grade accessory among equipment, it was horrifying that it would only be below Legendary equipment – even more valuable compared with Rare weapons.

Together with his “gigolo” face, at least half of the female players would not reject shaking hands with him.

However, this “gigolo” had chosen the wrong target this time.

Although Phoenix looked all smiley, there were many kinds of meaning in such a smile.

Towards strangers, it was completely possible to be a smile hiding a knife – the term of “femme fatale” was referring to such a person as Phoenix.

“Blown By The Wind? Eh, does this name sound familiar to me?” Phoenix blinked her fox-like dark red-eyeshadowed eyes, while her right hand in a red Warrior glove was raised.

“Should be on the popularity ranking, I have a bit of fame.” The “gigolo” had a polite smile and a look of self-satisfaction on his face; from these words, he clearly should be a star player.

“Oh, it's indeed so, I've remembered.” Phoenix brought her right hand straight past this “gigolo's” outstretched hand when it was right in front of her, raised her index finger with a red-painted fingernail and pushed a strand loosened by the wind behind her ear.

“I suppose you're 'Wind God,' who spent 10 billion and won the game's first Legendary equipment, furthermore of a Manipulator Hidden Profession.” Her face was a sudden revelation, after which it was a very pleasantly surprised expression.

“Crap, Phoenix's move is too cruel. This brat is probably wishing for a hole to hide himself in.” Big Pineapple laughed wretchedly, looking towards the awkward “gigolo” withdrawing his hand.

Gone With The Wind was that Wind Manipulator from before who had won the “Desert Crown” at 9.9999 billion on the Huan Yu auction that time. He was a rich and handsome blonde-haired man; and with a Hidden Profession, after he had made his name after that one time, his popularity maintained for long in the top 10 of the entire star ranking.

This “gigolo's” ID was Blown By The Wind – the name was indeed a bit similar.

However, Phoenix clearly would not have really gotten it wrong but had done it on purpose.

“Cough…well…the person you mean us Gone With The Wind, my ID is Blown By The Wind.” The “gigolo” Wind Manipulator's face became very delighted, turning white then red, and he still reluctantly forced a smile at Phoenix at last as he explained.

Although he was considered a small star player, after his popularity had been in the top 100 places in Storm City, he and Gone With The Wind were completely of a difference of superstar and third-line star.

Being “wrongly recognized” by Phoenix, left him almost absolutely stunned.

Phoenix's move was too merciless, so indirect that this “gigolo” was flung straight off.

“Ah it's God Blown By The Wind.” Just then, there was someone who neutralized his awkwardness.

Except for “gigolo,” the most recently entered was a Scout player.

This person's equipment was typical, roughly belonging to those midrange players with a mix of Excellent and Fine equipment. But his expression was full of excitement of meeting a star player.

“Wind God, hello, I'm your…” The Scout player saved the “gigolo” from the awkwardness, even secretly let him find the stuck-up attitude of a star player from the start.

“Please note, the battlefield is about to open, please be prepared, ten, nine…” Just then, in front of everyone's eyes, a countdown had already appeared.

“Three, two, one…”

When the countdown ended, a continuously increasing percentage health debuff per second appeared on everyone's state panel.

This debuff would continuously increase, and only in the oasis at the center, would one's health not be deducted.

This demanded everyone to have to rush there, and if not they would be disadvantaged. This was mainly to prevent any side from hiding from the opponent and be passive in the game, making the PK duration too long.

“Let's go!” Phoenix had taken out her fiery red longsword, her body of eye-catching red was very obvious in the yellow desert background.

Although her Alloy Longsword was a Level 45 Rare equipment, its attributes were not up to some true quality items.

It couldn't be helped, who allowed the appearance of this Alloy Sword so matching with her “Red Lotus Set”– although she had over 1000 credits credited just a few days ago, she was unwilling to change equipment.

In comparison, Feng Luo was absolutely different.

Upon entering the desert with an SUV combat uniform with automatic environmental adjustment ability, it had entirely become a yellow very similar to that of the desert background.

Relying on the naked eye, the difference was unidentifiable.

Big Pineapple had similarly taken out a huge yellow shield – his spare Alloy Shield. Although the color was slightly different from the environment, it still had a certain camouflaging effect. This shield was also Level 50 Rare equipment.

When Blown By The Wind came to the side, who had taken out a crystal Energy Converter, froze when he noticed the equipment on Feng Luo and the others.

As a star player, he had some observation power. Due to mainly focusing on Phoenix previously, he had not observed the equipment of Feng Luo and the others carefully.

Only after seeing them now did he realize that the few of them were not normal players.

At least, solely on the equipment level, they had definitely flung the Scout player fan who had called “God Wind” a few standards behind.

“Well, wait a moment.” But seeing that Feng Luo and the others had already prepared to start the action, the “gigolo” shouted.

“I shall summon out my pet, it can recce at the front, this way, our chance of victory will be higher.” When the “gigolo” finished speaking, he had already pushed the summoning button on his Pet Bracer.

“Hiss!”

With a flash of white light, a khaki-colored lizard-like creature, with a body of close to four meters long, including the tail, and whose body surface was fully lined with scales extremely similar to sand, appeared in front of the few of them, stirring up dirt.

“This thing…is a bit familiar.” Big Pineapple said at one glance.

“It's a Desert Rock Lizard.” Feng Luo recognized the species at one glance – it was a Desert Rock Lizard which he had killed before.

“No wonder it looks familiar, so I've seen it before here…” Big Pineapple shook his left hand, revealing the Rare ring with a Desert Rock Lizard carving, took a look at it and nodded.

“God Wind, could this be that Commander Grade Desert Rock Lizard pet of yours, heard that you had tamed it just taking it on one-on-one!” The Scout player exclaimed upon seeing the Desert Rock Lizard.

“Could this brat have secretly been bribed by this Blown By The Wind – this is too much of sucking up to him?” Big Pineapple said softly to Feng Luo.

“There are people everywhere who like to chase idols, it's actually reasonable to for them to be a bit moronic, don't underestimate the influencing power of star players in the game.” Feng Luo answered as he watched the Scout player who was circling the Desert Rock Lizard pet, gasping and exclaiming all sorts of things and wishing he could see each of its scales clearly.

After all, the popularity of War's star players now could absolutely be rivalrous to the stars in real life – it was too normal that this Blown By The Wind had a few fans.

In typical situations, the mindset of those most passionate fans often could not be understood by normal people.

“My pet is a Desert Rock Lizard, a desert creature, able to continuously move underground in deserts. Also, its sense of smell is very sharp, able to accurately differentiate the scents of humans in the wind; this way it just needs to move underground, help us recce and we would be able to silently discover the opponent in advance.” At the Scout's question and seeing that Phoenix was staring at the Desert Rock Lizard too, the “gigolo” explained smugly.

This Desert Rock Lizard was seriously injured by a small team then controlled by a Pet Control Chip, but in order to promote himself, he had taken all the credit for himself.

But he certainly would not say this out loud.

“It seems like the Desert Rock Lizard doesn't have any camouflage or anti-detection abilities. If the other side has Scouts as well, it would be able to be discovered even if it's underground? God Wind, is it a little risky, if your pet is discovered, would it then be…” As a “sharp-eyed” Scout, he seemed to have said something inauspicious this time.

If pets died in PK, credits would not have to be spent to revive them, but the Loyalty will fall by 5% as punishment.

Thus, in such a fight-till-the-death PK, typically speaking, players were still more careful when using pets.

“This Desert Rock Lizard of mine has one more additional strong skill than those Elite Desert Rock Lizards – Earth Energy Forcefield. Prince's Level now is already 45, the defense power of the Energy Forcefield is very high; even if a Sniper's two or three bullets cannot possibly break its forcefield. Besides, if we really run into players, we can't be sure who's the prey. Commander Grade pets aren't as lousy as Normal pets; especially in such a desert environment, Prince is able to unleash all of its ability. Really speaking, other Commander pets of the same Level are impossible to be its match even in the desert.” The “gigolo” smiled, but his tone clearly sounded self-satisfied as he stared at Phoenix who looked like she was pondering something.

What a pity that he boasted to the wrong target once again.

If it was 10 days ago, Phoenix perhaps would really be interested by a Commander Grade pet, but now…

“Hm, pet? I've actually forgotten. Leader Feng, do we let out our pets too?” A look of excitement flashed across Phoenix's face.
