Chapter 306: Wind God?

“Congratulations to our VIP client in box number one who successfully bought the grand finale item of our auction, the first Legendary item in War, the Desert Crown, for 999,999,999 credits!”

“This legendary crown which also symbolizes the king of a Manipulator’s items!”

On the golden stage, the face of the female auctioneer flushed red. Her long and slender white thighs trembled in excitement as she shouted those words.

However, she wasn’t the only one who was excited; the entire auction hall was also in an uproar!

Although the one billion credits weren’t connected to them in any way, the incredibly high price showed one thing to the players: War had unlimited potential! Opportunities were endless!

Many players probably thought that if they got lucky and obtained a Legendary item, they would become rich in an instant and stand atop the peak of life!

Legendary equipment! Legendary equipment!

An endless stream of players were probably going to search for information on Legendary equipment after the auction ended.

At that moment, the female host began speaking again in excitement. “Apart from that, congratulations aside, our manager has a request. I’m wondering if you, our honorable client, will agree to it?”

“That is… Can you show us your identity? I believe this is something a lot of our live audience is curious about.”

“Show your face… Show your face!” The players quickly shouted in unison. As time passed, more and more players join the chant. Naturally, many people were curious about the identity of the player in box number one.

Not only had he purchased a quarter of all the Enhancement Potions during the auction, he had also spent more than 30 million to buy the Whisper of the Wind set.

He then rounded things off with a bid of one billion credits, breaking the record for the price of a single item by more than an order of magnitude!

“This…” The deep voice that came from within the box was hesitant.

The female host quickly responded, “Just show us a glimpse of your face. And I, Little Xin (ID), will ask you a few questions on behalf of everyone here. If you don’t like it, we can blur your face!”

“Ugh, alright then…” the deep voice replied.

Then, the spotlight in the hall focused on the middle of the golden stage. The Desert Crown floating on the virtual screen in the air also shrank and flew towards the pillar of light as if welcoming the arrival of a conqueror.

After a few seconds, a well-balanced shadowy figure became clear and appeared beside the female host standing on the auction stage.

“Hello everyone, I’m called Gone with the Wind!”

The mysterious player in box number one showed his face. When the pillar of light reached him, a young blonde player with dark brows and sharp eyes, whose facial features were almost perfect, appeared on the 3D screen. He wore a gentle smile on his face and a bluish-white energy robe over his body.

He was appearing through virtual projection technology. His actual body was still inside the box. However, the fact that it wasn’t his real body did not deter the female players in the crowd from screaming.

“Blonde! So handsome! So perfect!”

“His voice also sounds amazing!”

“Why do I feel like he’s more handsome than Master September?”

The eyes of many female players were now glowing. They had found their new idol.

At the same time, some male players were also making a ruckus. After all, his move of throwing away one billion credits certainly made some players jealous!

“Boss, are you lacking any lackeys lately?”

“Master, do you need something for your legs?”

After a minute, the female host found her voice.

“Gone with the Wind… Your name really does sound artistic and meaningful…”

“But, if I may ask, what’s with the energy robe that you are wearing? You look like a Water Manipulator, so why did you spend 30 million credits to buy that Whisper of the Wind ornament?”

“Of course, if this question invades your privacy, you can choose not to answer it!” The female host was now staring at Gone with the Wind with a flushed face. Even though she was interviewing a hologram, she wanted nothing more than to get her large chest a little bit closer.

“There’s nothing to hide here. It’s because I succeeded in changing into a hidden profession, so I can use all four types of Manipulator gear. Additionally, I have a rather special talent. So whether it’s the Whisper of the Wind or the Desert Crown, their stats are extremely compatible with me. That’s why I bought them.”

When Gone with the Wind spoke, he gave another unassuming smile. Paired with his perfect looks, the girls couldn’t help but scream again.

“What?”

“Hidden profession?”

“What’s your hidden profession? How do you change?”

However, the other players in the hall were focused on what he said.

“Special talent? Is it an S-Grade talent?!”

“It probably is! From what he said, it must be an amazing combat talent!”

Some other players also perceptively noticed the content of his second sentence and asked loudly, “Master, can you tell us your talent?!”

“Since everyone’s asking, can you reveal a little bit of your hidden profession change process, as well as your talent, Master Wind?” asked the female host.

“Most of the hidden profession change wasn’t too troublesome. But the last challenge required me to solo an independent Commander grade monster, so I had to rely on some luck and barely scraped by.”

“As for the talent, it’s just some extra bonus energy damage based on percentage, and the talent grade is decent!” Wind said with that same smile. His voice still sounded humble when he spoke, but his words were filled with boasts!

Soloing a Commander Grade monster, even if it were a Level 35 Independent type Commander grade monster, was something that even the top ten masters of Storm City might fail to accomplish.

Moreover, some players were even reminded of the video of the first person who succeeded in changing to a hidden profession, the superstar player called “War’s number one gunner.” His name was Death Roar, and in the video, he had fought a Level 35 Commander Grade Gobi Rock Crocodile.

One needed to have the title of “War’s number one” in something to achieve a feat such as soloing a Commander Grade monster!

Someone inside the auction suddenly screamed the title, “Wind God!”

“Wind God!”

“Wind God!”

After that, people followed suit and started chanting the name. Then more people followed in excitement. In just a short while, the entire auction hall was filled with people shouting the title, “Wind God!”

Hidden profession, S-Grade talent, perfect face, extreme wealth… No matter how one looked at it, this was a perfect superstar player who could be deified.

“Old Feng, what do you think?” Big Pineapple asked Feng Luo with an odd expression.

“What?” Feng Luo looked puzzled.

“Wind God. If you’d listened to me and revealed to the public that you’ve succeeded in changing into a hidden profession and defeating September Night Rain, you’d probably have taken the title of that toyboy by now!”

“Or if you revealed the fact that you have a Boss grade pet on the forum, I’m 100% sure this nickname would be yours instead!” Big Pineapple’s voice had risen by several decibels.

“Yeah, but what’s the use? It’s just a nickname,” Feng Luo said with a smile. He really didn’t care about a title.

“What’s the use… Trying to talk sense into you is quite useless… But with your strength, you’ll definitely become famous one day! By then, the best nickname will have been taken by someone else already, and instead, you might be left with nicknames like Emperor Wind or Prince Wind!” Big Pineapple said to Feng Luo.

“Oh no! How horrible!” Feng Luo was still laughing.

“Aiyo. Old Feng, you really aren’t annoyed at all?”

Big Pineapple stared at Feng Luo’s face as if he wanted to see what Feng Luo was really thinking.

“I never really cared. Moreover, I don’t really like the nickname Wind God,” answered Feng Luo.

“If you don’t like this, which one do you like? Wind Emperor? Wind Prince? Wind Maniac?”

Big Pineapple started listing a bunch of examples that started with the word “Wind.”

“Why does it have to start with the word wind? If I had to choose one, I would probably choose… Grim Reaper!” A light flashed across Feng Luo’s eyes.

“Grim Reaper?” Big Pineapple was stunned for three whole seconds.

Then, he gave Feng Luo a thumbs-up.

“Imposing!”

“Grim Reaper…” A look of profound thought flashed across Feng Luo’s face.

For a Sniper, having the ability to take the life of his opponent, no matter who he or she or it was, to create a flash of white light after every gunshot, that would be the best!

As for the nickname “Grim Reaper,” it was probably the highest honor a Sniper could receive!

As for the title of “Wind God,” whoever wanted it could take it!
