Chapter 520 - Banquet Invitation
“Zi Wei Star, this name sounds interesting…” Feng Luo whispered gently after hearing the name.
“Zi Wei” meant the North Star back on earth and it had a meaning which was that it was different from other stars.
In the Star Civilization, it also had a similar status. However, the star was only used to describe females.
“Guild leader Zi Wei, you’re not here because three of your superstar players lost to us, are you?” Big Pineapple had never been able to control his eyes whenever a beauty appeared in front of him. However, after learning the identity of this woman, his face became slightly vigilant.
After the PK match, Toy Boy told them about the five opponent members. So, they knew that three of the five were actually first-class superstar players that were supported by the Nine Star Guild.
Although losing in the arena did not cost them any experience points or items, when Big Pineapple saw this woman appear before them when they were working on their special agent mission, he still felt a little uneasy.
“Mr. Big Pineapple must be joking. They like mixing around in the arena, winning and losing are common. Moreover, losing to the three of you isn’t embarrassing at all. Mr. Feng’s incredible marksmanship, Mr. Big Pineapple’s insane defense, and Miss Phoenix’s powerful pet. If it were a three versus three match, I doubt we’d be able to find another group who can match your group’s battle prowess.” Zi Wei showed a gentle smile as she spun the spoon she was holding.
When she spoke, her eyes darted across Digital Cat, who was focused on drinking her cold beverage, as well as Onishi, who had completely changed his appearance after the disguise…
Since they needed to operate inside the Star Galaxy Hotel, Feng Luo and Phoenix had also done a little bit of disguise.
However, since the operation had not yet started, their disguises weren’t complete yet, as, unexpectedly, they were recognized by this woman.
However, from what she said, Feng Luo felt that she was probably not related to their current mission.
She simply saw the three of them by coincidence and wanted to sit down and have a chat. Additionally, she may also try to get them to join the Nine Star Guild.
Just as the woman said, Feng Luo and the other two had made a name for themselves among the top players in Storm City due to the “half” all-star PK match.
After all, whether it was the “Legendary Sniper Rifle” or the Quasi-Boss pet, they were things that were bound to cause an uproar.
Unexpected to Feng Luo was that after Zi Wei sat down, she did not even once mention anything about inviting them to join the guild.
Instead, she only spoke to them about recent developments and interesting news. It seemed as if it was just a chat between old friends.
During the chat, she took care to include all five of those present. No one felt ignored or slighted, even Onishi, who was completely disguised and intentionally tried to avoid speaking, was forced to say a few things due to her lead.
The feeling Feng Luo got from the woman could be summarized in one word – Exquisite.
There was no wonder the Nine Star Guild could become the absolute number one guild in a main city like Storm City. It was apparent from the actions and behaviors of Mr. X from Celestial Star and Zi Wei Star.
After around five minutes, by the time Zi Wei finished the food on her plate, she said another phrase that surprised the group, “Our guild is holding a dinner banquet at the hotel tonight. If you are free then, please do come and have a look.”
The players looked at each other, and Feng Luo nodded as he said, “Alright, sure. We’ll definitely join if we’re free.”
Although they were probably going to be quite busy at night, it was quite impossible to directly tell her that they would not go.
After all, from the beginning to the end, the vibe that they got from the woman was quite good.
She was still a deputy leader of the number one guild in Storm City. They couldn’t treat her the way they would treat normal players.
After that, Zi Wei proactively applied to register them as friends and to exchange name cards with them.
However, something happened at that moment. When she smiled gently and looked at Onishi, who did not say much, he finally said something. “Guild leader Zi Wei, we don’t have to. I’ve already added you as a friend.”
He had no choice, he had already exchanged digital name cards with Zi Wei a long time ago.
In a situation like that, he could only reveal his identity.
“Mr. Onishi! How is it you…” After hearing Onishi’s unmasked voice and examining Onishi’s face in detail, she finally let out a surprised expression.
There was one thing that requires mention. Onishi’s ranking, in the past few days, had actually risen again, to the point where he had surpassed his previous record.
After trading with Feng Luo and obtaining Death Dance, Onishi completely overpowered and defeated the player previously pushed to the number one spot by players in North City, who also owned two Legendary Grade items, in a PK match after returning to North City.
His victory in that PK match was even more complete than Feng Luo and gang’s match.
Such “Revenge of the King” news was, of course, the kinds that players loved the most.
Additionally, some Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group players also revealed some of the events that transpired in Silvermoon City, which made his fan base even bigger.
As such, Onishi’s popularity had increased so much that he had entered the top ten in the game. He was now at the same level as the trump card player of the Nine Star Guild, Sword Ki Long River.
…
“Well then, I hope that you will come and grant us your presence tonight.” Zi Wei left, but as she left, her purplish eyes became even brighter than before.
It was clear that the exquisite though not so pretty woman had already connected Feng Luo and his group to the incident in Silvermoon City.
After Zi Wei left, Phoenix stared at Big Pineapple, who was putting the virtual invitation on the table and projecting the content into the air, and asked, “What’s this? Are you seriously going to the banquet?”
Big Pineapple looked regretful as he pointed to the spot indicated on the invitation and said, “Sigh, what a waste. I really want to go. Look at the venue of the banquet. It’s in the number one emperor suite of the hotel. All the food is prepared by Master Level chefs live. You should know that this is an 888,888 credits per night luxurious suite. I heard that the facilities inside the room are super luxurious… Number one emperor suite. Master Level chef NPC servicing you all the way. The Nine Star Guild is really going all out for this.” Upon hearing that, Phoenix also looked a bit shocked.
The emperor suite wasn’t the most important point, after all, 888,888 credits was not a lot for wealthy people.
However, the entire Star Galaxy Hotel only had one Master Level NPC chef. So the full-service package price would have been sky-high. It would have been similar to employing Old John to create a custom-made item.
For the Nine Star Guild to spend so much on the banquet meant that the night was probably going to be quite uncommon.
“Regardless, the mission is more important. Since we’ve already infiltrated successfully, let’s head back to our rooms and check the guest information. Also, strengthen our disguises.” Feng Luo said.
