At seven in the evening, inside emperor suite number one high above the top floor of Star Galaxy Hotel.
By the time Feng Luo and another two wearing outfits they temporarily found entered through the main entrance of the suite through the digital invitation, the interior was brightly lit and the large suite was filled with noisy voices.
“Welcome! Welcome!”
“Please come in! Come in!”
“Mr. Lin, we’ve been expecting you!”
“Guild leader Green Wood, your company has been increasing in popularity lately. I heard that the stock price of your parent company in the real world has also increased…”
The beautiful Phoenix, still clad in a fiery-red gown and red high-heels, held Feng Luo’s arm as they entered the main hall. Her eyes, which were still as pretty even though it had gone through an extremely thorough disguising process, lit up as soon as she entered. “Wow! This is really quite beautiful!”
The environment simulator had turned the inside of the emperor suite hosting the banquet into a large hall filled with stars and multiple magnificent and colorful crystal balls.
Inside the hall, many flying spirit-like machines emitting light flew all over the place as they served food and beverages to the guests. The dance hall was also broadcasting melodious music. There were even golden music symbols floating in the air.
This was a banquet hall created by the best environment simulation technology around. It was, without a doubt, the best visual enjoyment one could experience.
However, the emperor suites of the Star Galaxy Hotel were best known for the fact that every single item in the suite came from a modular design. This meant that depending on the environment simulation, the objects inside the hall will change their shapes accordingly, and the user was able to enjoy a sensory experience.
Behind Feng Luo and Phoenix, Big Pineapple, wearing a large western-style suit and feeling like a useless person in an imposing attire, suddenly muttered from behind, “Hey, Phoenix, why are you constantly holding onto Old Feng? I don’t think that’s fair. You should at least old Onishi or my hand too.”
Phoenix rolled her eyes back and said, “Yeah, sure. Do you think that I’d be able to hold your hands with my high heels? As for Onishi, have you ever seen a person wearing shades and an incredibly low-profile casual outfit in a banquet?”
However, Phoenix’s action actually attracted the attention of several players. In particular, a few male players began to shoot gazes in their direction.
It was inevitable. When Phoenix heard that they were going to take part in the banquet, she no longer cared about Feng Luo’s “Prohibitory” orders earlier that prohibited her from wearing red. She appeared once again fully clad in red.
And with her passion and bewitching temperament, from a certain sense, she was definitely worth being considered the queen of the banquet. Her entrance in and of itself had already attracted the attention of several people.
It might have been that when they used the digital invitation to enter, a message was sent. This was because by the time they entered, Zi Wei, wearing a purple genuine silk dress, quickly excused herself from a middle-aged man who looked like a successful person and walked over to them with a wine glass in her hand.
Compared to their meeting in the afternoon, they clearly had completely different appearances. However, Zi Wei completely ignored that and instead said to Feng Luo, “Welcome, I’m glad you have decided to grace us with your presence! Miss Phoenix, you look gorgeous… Yeah, hmm, I don’t seem to see Sister Cat…”
“She has some things to do tonight. That’s why she asked us to convey her apologies for not being able to come.” Feng Luo answered.
As the deputy leader of the Nine Star Guild as well as the organizer of the banquet, her actions were naturally going to attract the attention of many guests, and her actions definitely placed a few more gazes on Feng Luo’s group.
The fortunate thing was that due to their disguises, even if many of those present in the hall were also present during the PK match, no one could recognize them, which prevented a lot of trouble.
…
Zi Wei left quickly. As the host of the banquet, she had to welcome a lot of guests, which was why she excused herself quickly after exchanging a few words with Feng Luo’s group.
As for Big Pineapple, he was charging towards the place where the Master Level NPC chef was performing live cooking. Phoenix, on the other hand, had gone elsewhere after declining several dance requests from other players.
After finally escaping and losing attention on himself, Feng Luo moved to a slightly darker corner of the room and asked Onishi, “Aren’t you going to eat anything? It’s now 7:40 pm, we still have some time.”
“No need. I don’t really like such scenes. You’re going to start scouting, right? I’ll be on the lookout.” Onishi, who was wearing the special agent spectacles, shook his head.
Feng Luo nodded and said, “Alright then,” and sat down beside Onishi.
After he sat down, 24K, who had been painted by disguise colors and munching on a crystal, had crawled out onto his shoulder.
“Bzzt…”
On top of the emperor suite, a black hole connecting to God knows where had already appeared.
A Level 35 Elite Scout Beetle flapped its translucent wings and quietly descended from the gradually darkening sky and flew towards emperor suite number two which was around a dozen meters opposite them.
On top of the hotel roof below the two emperor suites, around a dozen or so hotel security guard NPCs were on patrol. Several six-barrelled electromagnetic railguns were also set up aiming at the sky. In short, security was tight.
Apart from that, there were still other players rushing over to participate in the banquet.
No one noticed the thumb-sized beetle that barely emitted any life signs flying above their heads.
After five seconds, the Scout Beetle crawled into emperor suite number two from the top. As for Feng Luo, who was in the corner inside the banquet hall, his eyes had also turned void.
…
In the middle of the luxurious suite, a player stood beside a window and looked at the busy and bustling scene across them. “Young Master Xing, the opposite suite looks quite busy.”
“I found and asked someone about it. I heard that the Nine Star Guild organized some type of dinner banquet. They invited all the important powers all over Storm CIty as well as some more famous individual players.” Young Master Xing was seated on the sofa as he was casually browsing the forum.
The Manipulator’s face stiffened after hearing that. “Ah, inviting the important powers across Storm City… Say… Do you guys think that they are actually there for our mission? And the banquet is just a front?”
A gunner player looked at the manipulator with disbelief. “Come on dude, you’re thinking too much. There’s just ten of us. There’s no way they needed to summon all the important powers in Storm City. It’s not that I am not confident, but the Nine Star Guild only needs to send an elite squad to deal with us. We might not even be able to beat that. Additionally, we don’t even know the details of the actual mission yet. If the system really allowed players from the Federation camp to surround and kill us, I’ll eat shit when I am resurrected, believe me, I will.”
Young Master Xing frowned after hearing these. Then, his gaze shifted from the forum to the two players talking and said, “It is true that the Nine Star Guild is strong. However, we, Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group, are also going to become a mega guild like Nine Star Guild soon. We’re going to surpass them in the end.”
The gunner player knew that he said the wrong thing, and quickly changed into a smile and said, “Yes… yes… With Young Master Xing and your Rui Conglomerate’s capital investment, our Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group will surely become the number one guild in War soon.”
“When I spoke earlier, I did not consider this. I completely forgot about your combat prowess. With your gears and combat strength, even if we were to face the Nine Star Guild leader Sword Ki Long River, we would still be able to win. By the time we complete this mission and when Young Master Xing succeeds in changing into the hidden profession, I have no doubt that these people will no longer be a match for you.”
Young Master Xing grimaced after he seemed to have remembered something. “Don’t try and flatter me. I am more than aware of my standards. There’s no way I’d be able to match a mega expert like Sword Ki Long River. However, compared to normal superstar players, I’m confident that I’m not that far behind them. If I did not drop my Death Dance… Onishi, you really don’t seem to care, do you? To flaunt and use my gun like that…”
Another Machine Gunner player, who was much better at observing and speaking, saw that Young Master Xing was in a bad mood, said, “Oh yeah, Young Master Xing, why isn’t the guy we’re supposed to meet here yet?”
“It’s not 8 o’clock yet. Let’s keep waiting. The NPCs in the game are like this, trying to be mysterious and all that… Yeah, it’s not good that the NPCs of the game have such good AI, for example, during one of my previous missions…”
The theme of the discussion of the group of people began moving gearing towards other matters.
However, at that moment, Feng Luo did not completely focus his attention there, as something happening at the banquet at that moment was even more interesting, and had attracted his attention.
