“F*ck, this is way too much. One person got rid of over 30 to 40 zombies, as well as a Level 40 plus Commander Grade Tyrant with just a military knife. This is definitely not a player, he must be a disguised NPC!” Monkey spoke with disbelief on top of a building as he looked at the lone figure standing underneath the metallic wall.

“I can’t believe he’s actually this strong. Theoretically speaking, even the top ten players on Hound Organization’s power ranking list wouldn’t be able to face one Commander Grade plus a dozen or so more Elite Grade and Normal Grade monsters. Could it be…” Black Rose looked at the bloodless tip of the military knife, Ghost Weep, that Feng Luo was holding, her face showing that she was in deep thought.

“Him? Hold on, Big Sis, do you know that crazy expert?” Monkey reacted very quickly, quickly understanding the hidden meaning of Black Rose’s words.

“Yeah, you could say we’re friends. He’s Big Brother Dan Hen’s friend. Two months ago, the world-class item “Hurricane Controller” was bought from him. We also worked with him and Lu Conglomerate during their city building mission.” Black Rose explained.

“Big Boss Dan Hen? So he’s his friend, huh. So, he’s actually a real player… F*ck, I wanna cry. We’re both gunners, but the gap between us is way too big. This game is too imbalanced… Eh? Why did he fall down?” Monkey was halfway through his complaint when Feng Luo, who was standing across them, suddenly fell backwards on the ground.

“Damn! He seemed to have fainted. Don’t tell me he is in a state where he had taken an aphrodisiac was actually the result of being infected, and now, he’s going to become a zombie!?” Monkey’s eyes widened as he asked curiously.

“Let’s go and take a look first!” Black Rose completely ignored his musings and cursing. Her gaze was focused, and she quickly got up.

Far away, Feng Luo lay face-up in the middle of an area filled with fresh blood and zombie corpses with his eyes shut.

His body did not show symptoms of being infected. Even the previous Intermediate Evolution Virus symptoms had disappeared.

After the battle, the thin layer of armor created by the dark red blood mist also disappeared. The dark red mist circled around Feng Luo once, just like the dark energy from before, and after hesitating for a brief moment, all of the mist returned to his body.

…

The Biohazard Crisis storyline in Silvermoon City had already caused more than 100,000 people to be infected, pushing the city into a serious situation where almost all NPCs had been killed and the number of Tyrants had reached 1,000.

However, the nightlife of the players living in the main city of Silvermoon City, Storm City, did not seem to be affected at all.

Inside the arena had a surge of visitors every night.

A Level 50 Light Armor Warrior, equipped with a set of magnificent black armor as well as a Level 50 Rare Grade alloy sword shrouded with a thin layer of dark energy, leaped into the air with Thunder Leap Slash from the top of a rock pillar inside a ruin-like environment. The slash piercing into the chest of the opponent who had failed to dodge in time.

“-3556!”

Over 3,500 damage. At the same time, the slash turned the opponent into a white light before disappearing. After that, a stream of barely visible dark energy streamed into the Light Armor Warrior’s body.

“God Violence! God Violence!”

“Unparalleled! Unparalleled!”

Over ten thousand players were watching the battle in the virtual stand surrounding them.

When the Light Armor Warrior achieved victory, many people became ecstatic as they screamed and shouted the “God” nicknames that only the best superstar players could have.

Wearing a full set of Rare Grade equipment, Unparalleled Violence smiled and waved at the people while standing in place, enjoying the cheers and applause of tens of thousands of people after achieving victory.

…

Inside a luxurious suite of a high-class restaurant.

“God Violence, congratulations on beating Chilly Blade so easily. You’ll definitely be able to move up to the third rank when the popularity ranking refreshes tomorrow.” A merchant player wearing a casual suit with good complexion raised a glass of wine and said.

“Everything about the endorsement deal has already been arranged. I’ve fought for a more relaxed agreement for you with my company. Why don’t we sign the deal tonight or tomorrow morning?”

“Oh, right. With regards to the advertisement… God Violence, our company is willing to add a 30% bonus in addition to the originally agreed sum, to show our appreciation.”

“Unparalleled, the conditions that the board gave me this time is very nice. 30 million credits per year. Moreover, every time your rank increases by one on the Ultimate Superstar Ranking List, you’ll receive a bonus.”

The other players surrounding them also laughed and added.

These people were either the higher-ups of other companies or were bosses themselves, and their objective was quite apparent from the words they said.

One should know that the top superstar players in War had influence that surpassed the superstars of the Star Federation in the real world.

For these companies, the price for getting superstar players to sign an endorsement deal was relatively cheaper; however, the effects were considerably better than those from real-life superstars.

Although the Light Armor Warrior standing in front of all those people had been nameless prior to this, he stunned the world around half a month ago. He continually challenged the top ten masters of Storm City as well as some of the ex-top ten masters. Resulting in his victory in each of those battles.

September Night Rain from September Guild was completely destroyed due to his failure in the previous hidden profession mission that received a lot of attention. This resulted in a huge drop in his popularity, and Unparalleled Violence had replaced him as the fourth-ranked player in Silvermoon City’s Expert ranking list.

One could even say that, by looking at his past performance, he could still climb the ranking. This person was really someone with a lot of hidden potentials.

“Haha, thank you for your praise. However, in terms of endorsement deals, you know that I’m under contract, and I need to check with my boss. But I will definitely consider all of you first.” Unparalleled Violence raised his glass to a toast and smiled gently. Clearly, he was thoroughly enjoying the praises of the people.

Unparalleled Violence had always been strong, and he was definitely not weaker than the top ten experts. He was busy with a long series of hidden missions, as well as other reasons, that he did not have time to walk the path of a superstar player.

At the moment the hidden mission had been completed, and the rewards for the mission was much more than he had initially imagined, so his strength also increased far more than he had imagined.

In a situation like this, it would be a waste if he did not go the superstar path.

That was why he finally agreed to the arrangement of the “Boss,” and initiated this half a month’s top ten experts PK challenge campaign. In one fell swoop he built a name for himself and earned the adoration of many fans.

“So that’s how it feels to be a superstar player. No wonder so many people like being superstars!”

…

“Beep! Beep!”

As Unparalleled Violence was enjoying the applause and praises of the group of company bosses or CEOs, his communication device suddenly rang. As he looked at the popup message that appeared, his expression changed slightly.

First, he smiled and politely excused himself for a while; then, he quickly entered a room outside and connected the communications device.

The light dimmed and amidst a mist of dark energy, a tall and thin person completely covered in dark cloak with his face hidden, appeared as a projection of the communications device.

“Mr. Cicero!” Unparalleled Violence’s face stiffened as he said respectfully.

“Did you find the Dark Life Protozoa that you lost in the last mission?” The voice behind the thick dark energy and the black cloak was hoarse. His voice had no variation, as if he had used some voice changing device.

“Ah, the Dark Life Protozoa? The one that I lost last time. Mr. Cicero, I’ve been sending people to investigate these days, I believe that it won’t be long before we find it…” After hearing those words, cold sweat started appearing on Unparalleled Violence’s forehead.

Although the person was a NPC, one could not deny the fact the incredible unscientific power that he displayed once before during a mission had made Unparalleled Violence feel a lot of pressure.

More importantly, the NPC controlled his current fate as well as future wealth, and he was not like an ordinary NPC that he could ignore.

“I’ll give you another three months. I don’t want to see you using words like these to deal with me again! Remember, I can easily take back the Dark Life Protozoa in your body just as easily as I have given it to you. That is why, adventurer, show your worth!” The light turned on again, and the person cloaked within the dark energy had cut off communications and had disappeared.

“F*ck!” After the communications device was disconnected, Unparalleled Violence’s face became stressed and ugly.

“Who was the Sniper who affected our mission on the night when we invaded the Desert Fire Ant Boss’ lair!? In three months? I don’t even have a clue or hint; where am I supposed to find it? If the ‘boss’ knew this, I’m afraid…”

In an instant, Unparalleled Violence’s happy mood of becoming a superstar player had suddenly taken a turn for the worse.
