Phoenix and Big Pineapple wanted to do missions, but because this matter was concerning the both of them, Feng Luo had switched on the Agent channel upon meeting Zi Wei to let the two of them who were doing Merit missions listen in.

As it was the Agent channel, not only Phoenix and Big Pineapple but also Onishi and Digital Cat could hear the information.

Hence, Digital Cat’s words had initiated response from the others.

“Woo…Digital little girl, you want to join? Aren’t you researching your mecha?” Big Pineapple seemed to have met some monster and was fighting; when he spoke, there was sounds of running and panting.

“Really? Little sister Cat, you want to join too? This mission in pretty dangerous.” Phoenix said with a laugh.

“T-750 is almost completed, I need to go a step forward to earn the battle stats against high-end players.” Digital Cat’s voice was very flat, but what she said was unexpected to Feng Luo.

“Already completed?” Feng Luo was joyful.

Previously, Digital Cat had said that it would require at least a month before it would be completed, but there were still a few days to a month now and Digital Cat had actually finished it – this was beyond Feng Luo’s anticipation.

“I’ve exchanged for some new things from the Agent equipment warehouse, plus the brilliant item produced from the Tyrant T-100, so some difficulties have been overcome, just lacking in real battle testing.” Digital Cat replied.

“This mission is dangerous, and the players’ abilities are high, you think it’s suitable?” Feng Luo asked curiously.

The ones participating in this Ruins Reclamation were top players of the two main cities. Was Digital Cat so confident in testing the combat power of the T-750 on these players?

“You’d have to try to know.” Digital Cat’s tone sounded high in confidence.

“Mm, alright then, I’ll tell Zi Wei…” Feng Luo replied.

“Thanks Director Zi Wei, but just four places for us will do.” Feng Luo looked up and spoke to Zi Wei who had specially turned away upon seeing that he was speaking to others.

“Four? Okay.” Zi Wei’s eyes sparkled, probably expecting that Onishi would not join, hence she was not too astonished.

“Right. Now, according to your procedures, casual players are required to go through assessment, right?” Feng Luo asked again.

“There is no need for you to, after all, your abilities have long been proven already. Speaking of which, Y and the others have been in the arena as Triple Black today, waiting to meet you all again.” Zi Wei smiled.

“We don’t play arena battles very frequently.” Feng Luo said with a smile.

…

“Eh, Mister Feng, how coincidental!” As Feng Luo walked out of the central hall of the Nine Star Guild, he happened to meet a group of people.

“Miss Red!” Feng Luo looked towards the leading woman full of aura wearing an Energy robe as if circled by flames.

Other than Red Queen, Black Panther, Glazed Ice, White Crescent, Neutron Star, and a few other familiar faces, there was also a tall female Scout who looked at Feng Luo curiously.

“Didn’t think we’d meet Mister Feng here. You’re joining the Nine Star Ruins Reclamation too?” Red Queen asked Feng Luo.

“Yes.” Feng Luo nodded.

From Red Queen’s words, he had understood that they were here prepared to participate in this movement also.

Speaking of which, it was sufficient with Red Queen’s ability; after all, that percentage Burn Talent of hers and her equipment, skills, and combat experience definitely met the requirement.

As for Glazed Ice, White Crescent, and Black Panther; they also possessed unconventional ability and their own special Talents and would definitely have quite a high chance of participating.

After greeting these few familiar faces and chatting for a bit, the group of people entered.

As Feng Luo watched Red Queen’s leaving silhouette, he thought of something.

Previously when Zi Wei said that she had obtained the identity profiles of him and Big Pineapple from someone who knew both of them, would she have meant Red Queen and the rest of them?

After all, there were not many people who knew both of them.

…

“Book a flight to the Lu Conglomerate three hours from now.” Upon leaving the Nine Star Guild headquarters, Feng Luo booked a “plane ticket” through his personal terminal as he walked.

The Nine Star Guild Ruins Reclamation won’t begin for another three days.

In the next three days, he decided to make some preparations and raise his own ability.

With his current equipment and Level, plus his awakened Force and Legendary equipment, he was confident that his ability should be considered the cream of the crop in War.

But after all, the opponents this time were not normal players.

Large guilds that qualified would provide for the participants of this mission the best resources, Legendary equipment, high-grade potions, special consumables… there would be tons of these things.

Furthermore, other than players, the monsters in this mission were not normal monsters. From the documents Zi Wei had handed to him, the Levels of the Elite monsters inside were all very high, and the number Commander monsters was not low either.

Since he had decided to participate, he would do the necessary preparatory work.

Feng Luo had always liked to have control over the outcome as much as possible.

What Zi Wei said just now was a compliment, but if he was able to complete something in these three days, perhaps that would not have just been a compliment but an actual possibility.

Feng Luo prepared to go to the Lu Conglomerate city as there might be a chance there to let 24K’s current combat power earn a huge increase.

The last time, in the underground ruins near the Lu Conglomerate city, he had met a black Commander Grade beetle with similar abilities as 24K, where that beetle had actually engaged a “wormhole” and summoned many beetle troops in the battle.

At that time, 24K had passed a message to him saying that those beetles were actually its “henchmen,” a part of those remaining beetles which escaped after the Lu Conglomerate city-building mission then.

After killing the black Commander beetle, 24K had earned the right of control of the remaining beetle troops that were summoned.

Feng Luo had thought of this at that time: would there be other remaining beetles near the Lu Conglomerate city?

During the city-building and clearing mission then, the numbers of all sorts of beetles were hard to keep track of and definitely could not possibly be completely cleared out. Since 24K was able to regain control of the ownerless beetles after killing that black beetle Commander, then could it possibly control those other remaining beetles?

Considering this, Feng Luo sent a message to Mu Wu, asking him to help look out for anyone who had come across beetle groups near the ruins.

In the past two days, he had received Mu Wu’s reply, saying that while killing monsters nearby, the small team of Nightless City had once again come across a small number of beetles.

This news had lit a spark in Feng Luo; he was prepared to go over then, but as little Sally’s mission had reached its climax, he could not leave Storm City, and was delayed for two days.

Now, little Sally’s mission had finally come to a convenient point, and so he could take some time to commit to this matter.

Speaking of which, the potential of 24K as a Boss Grade pet was great.

It belonged to the special pet type of “King Beetle,” and the ability of the troops it summoned was not diminished by the system.

If a sufficient number of “beetle armies” could be cultivated, it would be much more powerful than typical Boss Grade pets.

It was technically too powerful, and the system’s restrictions on 24K were not just a few.

Since hatching beetles required huge amounts of Psionic Energy, and when there were no Psionic Energy Crystals, the recovery speed of Psionic Energy would be too slow, and resulted in Feng Luo still being unable to accumulate a true “beetle army” despite having 24K for so long.

Of course, this reason was also because combat-type beetle troops had been continuously consumed during the accumulation process. Like last night when that Energy bomb exploded, consuming four Elite Grade Bladed Beetles and a high-grade Scout Beetle.

As such, Feng Luo initially thought that it would require a lot of time to construct a beetle army, or it would require 24K’s Level to increase, or another few evolutions before it could have a chance to be completed. But now, it seemed like there was a chance to get a shortcut.

…

Speaking of which, other than beetle groups, Feng Luo also wanted to know just what was inside that silver metallic wall at the end of the underground ruins that was not engaged?

At that time, the message passed to him by 24K was that there was a very “alluring” thing behind the metallic wall.

To engage this wall, the Legendary item shards produced by the four Commander monsters had to be restored.

As of now, Mu Zi’s side had not sent back a message about restoration, so he had to continue waiting.
