Hu! Hu!

In the cloudless sky, the half-crescent moon illuminated a spot in a forest on the edge of the island. Phoenix, a Light Armor Warrior—wearing stylish, enchanting, fiery red alloy light armor while holding a light female-styled alloy sword—cast Charge and ran forward. Her fiery red shoulder-length hair flapped in the wind as she ran at high speed, almost leaving afterimages of the snowy white thighs below buttocks covered with exquisitely made red light armor.

They’re still at it? How am I so unlucky?! To actually be pursuit by both the rebel army and the Hunters! Is there no mercy hidden within the codes of these NPCs?

At that time, she reached her Charge’s maximum distance, and Phoenix’s speed began to slow down!

No. My stamina is at less than 20 percent. And the stamina potion is still in cooldown… At this rate, I won’t hold out for much longer!


She leaned her body on a tree and placed her fiery red alloy sword on the ground. The large, perky breasts under her armor moved up and down violently!

Although Light Armor Warriors recovered stamina quickly, if they continued to move at high speed, their stamina recovery rate couldn’t keep up with consumption. Moreover, the recovery rate would also gradually slow down!

It had already been over 20 minutes since the Hunter had started pursuing her. Now, she was left with less than 20 percent stamina. Plus, she had already used her stamina potion, and it was still on cooldown. In fact, even if it wasn’t in cooldown, she no longer had any kill points left to unlock a stamina potion, which cost 50 kill points. That was because unlocking the flamboyant Rare-grade set of equipment she was wearing had cost her all the kill points that she had accumulated from killing 15 to 16 targets!

But I haven’t even unlocked all the Red Lotus Battle Set. Missing this bracer is definitely going to affect the overall aesthetics! What a rubbish unlock rule! It’s so godd*mn annoying!

Even now, she still had the time and strength to worry and complain about aesthetics!

Ta, ta, ta…

However, before she had been resting for even ten seconds, a series of muffled gunshots suddenly rang from within the forest.

Shots hit the vegetation and the ground beside her. One shot even splintered a tree branch the size of an arm. The soil on the ground was also sent flying high into the air, which exhibited the tremendous force generated upon impact!

“Damn it! This Hunter just won’t go away! It caught up again!”

Phoenix picked up her alloy longsword on the ground with an ugly expression and quickly continued to run forward.


Around 30 meters behind her, two red dots glowed from two metallic eye sockets as the Hunter emerged carrying a heavy gun with one hand. It stopped after firing a few bullets. Its other arm carried an alloy shield as it moved its heavy footsteps to pursue Phoenix! And even further back, a rebel army Earth Manipulator was also running in the direction of the Hunter!

Over a dozen seconds after Phoenix resumed her escape, she passed by an empty space within the forest.

Under the night sky, she did not notice the head of a nail-sized translucent beetle that was emanating an unnoticeable glow as it suddenly turned around.

******

Behind a secluded boulder some distance above the ground, Feng Luo, holding his Barrett, couldn’t help but whisper, “Huh? No way…”

“What’s wrong, Old Feng?” said Big Pineapple. “Did you already find the Hunter in the forest? Is it chasing someone? Should we just go ahead and take the kill?”

Big Pineapple, who held the Level-50 Rare-grade longsword dropped by the earlier Number 17 Light Armor Warrior, looked like he was raring to go. The huge haul obtained after killing the three players made him passionate about the plan of courageously following the movements of the Hunter. Moreover, theoretically, those who were being pursued by the Hunters right now were likely people ranking in the top 24, so they would definitely have some good stuff in their backpacks!

“This time, you should forget about taking the kill!” Feng Luo’s eyes showed that he was still observing things through the vision of the Scout Beetle, and as he spoke, a smirk appeared on his face.

Big Pineapple looked stunned as he stared at Feng Luo. “Why?”

“Because this time, the person being pursued is one of our own!”


Feng Luo saw the model of the Hunter chasing Phoenix. It was a Hunter that possessed a heavy firearm and an alloy shield; it looked much more difficult to deal with than the previous two!

“Our own? Which one?”

“That toyboy, the Scout who came later, or that enchanting and exquisite beauty?” Big Pineapple replied quickly, understanding what Feng Luo meant.

“The red-head beauty,” said Feng Luo. “She is being pursued by a mechanical Hunter. It doesn’t look good!” At the same time, he had already instructed 24K to control a Scout Beetle to follow Phoenix.

“F*ck. Old Feng, then why aren’t we moving to help her!?” Big Pineapple said as he stood up with bright eyes. “She’s one of us! Plus, disregarding anything else, we’ll all be ‘colleagues’ after the profession change, and we might even become friends. For that, we should definitely help!”

With his alloy longsword raised, Big Pineapple seemed to be growing impatient! However, this rescue operation still needed Feng Luo’s approval. That was because the forest was anything but small. Even for a warrior like him, it was quite impossible to find someone in an environment like this with the aid of moonlight alone.

Feng Luo had switched his visual field back, and he looked at Big Pineapple with a faint smile. “All right!”

He knew that Big Pineapple was just thinking with his body again. Although he was a person who had dirty thoughts but did not have the courage to act on them, he clearly didn’t want to let the opportunity of being a hero saving a “damsel in distress” to pass him by!

Still, Big Pineapple’s logic was sound. After all, since every agency had five representatives participating in this mission, it was highly likely that the final number of survivors would likewise be evaluated.

Apart from that, if their team could achieve the final victory, it was highly likely that they would be able to change their profession in the end by relying on the points that the others had accumulated in the mission. In this case, granting someone a favor would naturally be a good choice.


Also, she’s a beautiful lady. Of course, she’s going to receive better treatment in games!

However, Feng Luo would never have admitted aloud that he had a thought like this.

“If we’re going to save someone, it’d be better if you switched back to your Heavy Armor Warrior profession,” said Feng Luo as he carried the Barrett. “That way, you can help block the bullets for the lady, and if you save the damsel in distress at the crucial moment, she will be even more grateful!”

Feng Luo had already instructed 24K, sitting on his shoulder, to command two Bladed Beetles to open up the path for them.

Big Pineapple’s eyes shone. “Hmm? Good idea!” Then, he quickly took the exquisite alloy shield out of his backpack.
