Bang!
A Level-25 Mutant Wild Boar's head was blown off by the Desert Eagle's 0-caliber AE bullet. Feng Luo, wearing a camouflage combat uniform, walked out of the Forest of Exiles.
With the Rare combat boots and the Desert Eagle's double speed boost, Feng Luo finished walking the path he came from in less than an hour.
What he needed to do now was to quickly head to the town to turn in the mission and clear his red name status.
However, just as he walked out of the forest, he suddenly noticed a person waving at him from the bushes beside the intersection.
"Yellow-tooth?"
Feng Luo froze and squinted his eyes.
Then he remembered that the map was given to him by Yellow-tooth. Yellow-tooth had probably deduced that he would come out from here. But why was Yellow-tooth waiting for him here?
"I say, brother, did you just offend the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group?"
Yellow-tooth had been squatting by the side of the road, puffing out a cloud of smoke. When he saw Feng Luo, he immediately stood up and went straight to the point.
"Why? Did the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group chase me all the way to the Town of Exiles?"
Feng Luo frowned. The Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group's actions were faster than he had expected. Chasing him all the way to the Town of Exiles for just one conflict … Wasn't this making a big deal out of nothing? Could it be that Roaring Dragon Ruinous Star's position in the mercenary group was not ordinary?
"Not really … But they've already issued a bounty for everyone. The reward for killing you for every level is 5,000 credits. Many people in the Red City are looking for you now. "
Yellow-tooth looked at Feng Luo and tapped his pipe with the middle finger of his right hand. His expression was a little playful.
"Brother, you're really unlucky. The Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group is a vengeful group, and their actions are a little unscrupulous … "
"You've been waiting for me here. Clearly, you're not just here to give me a heads up, are you?"
Feng Luo interrupted him while his eyes scanned the surroundings without batting an eyelid.
"Hey, situations like yours are quite common in the Red City, so there are people who specialize in this. They can charge a fee to protect you from being killed while you're in the Red City. I can be your middleman!"
Yellow-tooth grinned, revealing a mouthful of his signature yellow teeth after his goal was exposed.
"Oh, what price?"
As Feng Luo spoke, his eyes did not see any signs of an ambush in the surroundings. He wondered if he was just being paranoid.
"10000 Alliance Credits. I guarantee your safety around the Red City and in the town for a day. They asked for a half down payment. In addition, I also want to charge a commission of 1000. "Yellow-tooth said.
"11000 Alliance Credits. You guys sure earn a lot of money!"
Hearing Yellow-tooth's words piqued Feng Luo's interest.
His name was currently red. If he was killed, he would definitely drop a level's worth of EXP and equipment.
Moreover, if one was killed during the red name period, one would be locked up in a federal prison for a period of time after resurrection, similar to the title in some games.
Whether it was time, experience, or credits, the loss would be huge!
The key was that he still had to enter the Town of Exiles to complete his mission. He had to get the blueprint of the Eye of the Thunder (gun barrel), so there was a risk of being killed.
As for why Yellow-tooth would choose to protect him instead of finding someone to kill him, it was actually very easy to understand.
Although the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group had asked for 5,000 Alliance Credits per level, if one chose to kill him, the most one could earn was 5,000. Feng Luo's resurrection point was tied to Silvermoon City, and he would be locked up in prison for a period of time after resurrecting with a red name. He could at most be killed once in a short period of time.
In comparison, choosing to protect him would earn 10,000 Alliance Credits.
As such, Feng Luo believed 70% of Yellow-tooth's words!
Of course, Feng Luo did not believe what Yellow-tooth said. The Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group had notified all the players in the Town of Exiles that he was wanted.
Wanted posters made by players like this could not be announced by the system. At most, they would be posted on the forum or in the regional public chat channel. With the high flow of players in the Town of Exiles, not many people would care about this.
Yellow-tooth's words were intended to make the situation more serious so that Feng Luo could "spend money to buy his safety." This kind of business tactic was very old-fashioned!
However, considering the importance of the Eye of the Thunder (gun barrel) blueprint, Feng Luo did not want any accidents to happen. As such, he was prepared to agree. After all, compared to a Rare equipment blueprint, 10,000 Alliance Credits was not that expensive!
However, at that moment, Feng Luo suddenly felt his eyes being blinded by something.
"Huh?"
Feng Luo's heart skipped a beat.
This kind of blinding light would have been overlooked by normal people. However, as a Sniper, Feng Luo was all too familiar with this kind of situation.
This was the result of a sniper rifle aiming at the head, and the reflection of the sniper scope flashing past the target's eyes!
There's a Sniper!
Feng Luo's heart sank, but his face did not change.
Is it an ambush? Or is it just a passing player?
Feng Luo immediately ruled out the latter. No passerby would deliberately aim a sniper rifle at someone's head unless they had ulterior motives.
Then the only possibility was that it was Yellow-tooth's accomplice!
Looks like I've underestimated Yellow-tooth's cleverness!
Feng Luo suddenly thought of a possibility.
It was very possible that Yellow-tooth's real plan was to first trick him into trading with his accomplice and get the commission and deposit from him. Then, he would think of ways to sell him and claim the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group's bounty.
This way, he would not only earn nothing, but it would also not waste time or effort, and he would not offend the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group.
"What a good plan!"
Feng Luo even suspected that Yellow-tooth might still be thinking about his mission reward. With Yellow-tooth's shrewdness, he might have already sensed that the mission reward was not ordinary from what Feng Luo had said earlier.
But isn't he afraid of ruining his own reputation?
However, Feng Luo was also a little doubtful. Normally, people in Yellow-tooth's line of work had to cherish their reputation. If they broke the rules and reputation, how could they continue doing business?
However, he soon realized that he was in the game, not in reality!
In reality, brokers and informants in the mercenary industry would definitely die by doing this. But in the game, dying would only mean losing one level of experience. If they really could not survive, they could completely delete their accounts and change to another account to scam people again.
After all, people in Yellow-tooth's line of work did not rely on levels to make a living. As such, he was not afraid of Feng Luo's revenge and dared to scam people!
Thinking of this, Feng Luo's heart turned cold, but his face remained calm.
The accident of the reflection of the sniper scope had exposed Yellow-tooth's plan. This was really a coincidence.
Yellow-tooth's profession was a Machine Gunner. Although they were both Gunners, it was very likely that he did not know that when the sniper scope was aimed at the opponent's head, it could be discovered due to the reflection.
As such, professional Snipers would wear a sunshade over their sniper scopes. However, doing so would greatly reduce the brightness of their field of vision, which affected players greatly. As such, most players would not use it.
Moreover, if one was not a Sniper, they would not pay much attention to the occasional glare. After all, it would only affect the target when the angle of the light was just right, so the chances of being exposed were actually very small.
Unfortunately, Feng Luo was a Sniper, and a top-notch Sniper at that!
"What are the specific strengths and levels of the people you mentioned? Are you confident?"
Feng Luo continued to pretend to be a little moved, but he spoke with a little hesitation. His mouth did not show any change in his expression as he tried to get information from Yellow-tooth.
"All of them are above Level 43, and the highest is a Level 47 Light Armor Warrior. Don't worry, since they dared to accept the job, they definitely have a guarantee. "
Yellow-tooth flicked the finished cigarette in his hand away and said with a smile. Clearly, he felt that the plan was about to succeed, so he was in a good mood.
"Hmm, a Level 47 Light Armor Warrior," Feng Luo said calmly. "This level is indeed an expert. Alright, I agree. However, I want to meet the person first before we discuss the specifics! "Feng Luo said calmly.
"No problem, I'll contact them now."
Yellow-tooth's face lit up. He lowered his head and sent a message through his communicator.
"Right, how many people did you prepare to ambush me this time?"
Just as Yellow-tooth was about to call someone through his communicator, Feng Luo suddenly spoke in a very casual tone.
"Five … You!"
Yellow-tooth's words came out halfway through his mouth. After that, he immediately reacted. His face turned into shock, and he reached for the pistol on his tactical belt.
However, the ATAK tactical military knife, shining with a cold light, was already like the fangs of a mad dog. As Feng Luo laughed coldly, it pierced through the defense of his combat uniform. The blood-stained tip of the knife pierced through the back of his chest.
“-2850！”
A blood-red damage number close to 3,000 appeared above his head. A white light of death flashed across Yellow-tooth's body.
"I hate being schemed against!"
