…
Feng Luo sat on a seat beside the window. He switched his vision to the forum. As he did so, a bunch of popular threads filled his vision.
Whether it was on the Storm City regional forum section or War’s general forum section, the most popular threads had similar thread titles and more than half of them were related to him.
To put it simply, if War’s forum had something like a “headline,” he would be on it. If there were such a thing as a top ten hottest or most popular topic, he’d also be on at least seven or eight of them.
Among the top three hottest threads, only one of them was taken by War’s “Number One Female Superstar Player” and “War’s Goddess,” a.k.a. Moon Brilliance Conglomerate’s Light Dancing Sparrow getting a full set of Legendary-Grade accessories. Concerning this topic, the Moon Brilliance Conglomerate might also be marketing and pushing it to the top behind the scenes.
The conclusion was simple, Feng Luo was popular. However, he was not just “a little” popular.
In terms of his popularity, he was dominating all of the superstar players at the moment. In terms of the most searched player, he was number one.
It was just as Phoenix had predicted earlier. After this mission, it was no longer possible for him to maintain a low profile.
Although it was not to the extent where everyone one knew. At the very least, the ID “Feng Zhi Luo Ye” would stay on the forum for a very long time. For players who paid attention to this issue, it had become a name that they were very familiar with.
Since many superstar players had pre-emptively prepared to promote themselves, most, if not all, of the superstar players had recorded videos using the first-person recording option.
As such, many of the threads had videos attached to them. On these videos, there were scenes and recordings of Feng Luo’s battles and fights during the mission.
The good thing was that Feng Luo always used the facial blocking setting to block his actual face from being recorded, a setting he applied a long time ago. As such, in the threads, the players only saw a face that had been modified by the system.
As such, Feng Luo did not have to worry that his face would be revealed like a guild’s superstar player where he would be recognized no matter where he went. He did not have to worry about being stopped and asked to take a photograph or something either.
For Feng Luo, the current situation was still acceptable. Apart from Feng Luo becoming popular, his hidden profession, the Special Agent, had also become popular.
Some of the profession change mission content back then had been dug up and revealed. At the same time, since many people already knew that Onishi had the Special Agent profession also; Phoenix, Big Pineapple, and even Digital Cat gained some widespread attention.
Among the three, Phoenix received the most attention due to the final duel between Phoenix and the pirate captain commander on the military ship that was recorded by someone from the Nine-Star Guild.
As a player, she did not only stand her ground in the battle against a Level-65 Commander-Grade humanoid monster, but she even vaguely gained the upper hand. That in itself was an incredible feat.
In particular, the other Nine-Star Guild players that continued to be sent flying all over the place from the attacks from the enemy NPC also further highlighted the feat. Besides, Phoenix and her Goddess-level face, “Dark Phoenix’s” cold stare during the battle, her unique temperament, the magnificent figure, and image after she activated the skill from the longsword, “Exquisite,” that engulfed her in flames had further elevated her attractiveness.
As such, some people even associated her thread to the third popular Light Dance Sparrow’s thread altogether. They discussed and debated on whether Phoenix or Light Dance Sparrow was the actual number one female player in War.
They even brought upon the debate on who should the title of “Number One Beauty” belong to. Both of these debates brought Phoenix a bunch of fans.
These two factors were enough to regard the attention that Phoenix gained at the level of a first-rate female superstar player.
Not mention the threads that even mentioned guesses about whether Phoenix had also awakened the Force like Feng Luo. However, concerning this, it was not as certain as it was in Feng Luo’s situation because he admitted to it.
After Phoenix’s battle on the military ship, she went directly offline. Since then, she had not yet come back online.
As such, for now, the question and answer could only be speculated by some. However, it was still one of the hot topics of discussion for some of the players.
If it was true, it would mean that the first three players to awaken the Force in the entirety of War would come from Storm City. What would this mean for the players who were in the other 30 plus main cities, some of whom that even touted themselves as being main cities above Storm City? How could they accept that?
Additionally, if this were to be true then it would attract countless players’ attention when the hidden profession of Special Agent began recruiting again.
Similar to the speculation about whether or not the Sniper profession was beneficial to awakening the Force, players were speculating about the Special Agent hidden profession being more beneficial to one’s awakening of the Force.
Apart from these topics, another thing worth mentioning was that Phoenix’s armor set that she was equipped with had also garnered a lot of attention.
Since many people noticed that this set of exquisitely beautiful and stylish female armor was incredibly eye-catching and had never appeared anywhere else before in War. This made many female and male players’ eyes sparkle… Of course, the reason for the sparkling and where they were focused on were quite different.
Apart from Phoenix, Digital Cat also attracted quite a lot of attention. However, the topics surrounding her were more focused on the Mechanist forum section.
[Realistic Mecha Defeats Two Superstar Players in Real Battle. The Rise of Micro Mechas?] The hottest thread on the Mechanist forum section at the moment also had a video attached.
The video’s content was of a “Heavy Armor Warrior” player that was over two-meters tall that was holding an alloy sword in one hand and a shield in the other. The “player” was engaged in a battle against two North City players. The alloy sword continued to hack away at the two North City players while the shield continued to block most bullets fired from a Scout player. In this 1 vs. 2 situation, he was not at all at a disadvantage.
As for the result of the battle, the “Heavy Armor Warrior” killed a Scout player and a Light Armor Warrior player. However, he was also stabbed in the chest by the Light Armor Warrior, the alloy sword poked out of his chest. As sparks flew out of his wound, he fell on the ground.
It was then that the people watching the video found that the inside of the “Heavy Armor Warrior’s” body, as well as “his” cuts and wounds were not flesh and blood, but instead were metallic structures. Such an agile “Heavy Armor Warrior player” was a humanoid battle mecha.
Although the final result was both sides going down together, not to mention the Storm City team that had some long-range attackers helping out the battle mecha, many people watching also recognized that the two players from North City fighting against the humanoid combat mecha were experts. They were famous superstar players, one of them was even a top-class superstar player in the top 50 ranking list of North City.
A humanoid battle mecha managed to kill two top-class players?
In some other videos, the mecha even showcased quite devastating long-range attacking skills, showing just how mighty it was.
Inside these hot popular threads, apart from multiple people analyzing the mecha’s strengths and weaknesses, many Mechanist players were also asking for details and information regarding the methods of getting this type of mecha.
After that flurry of posts and messages came information from players that probably also took part in the exploration mission, regarding how Digital Cat was also a Special Agent, causing another round of hot discussion which increased the thread’s popularity ensued.
Digital Cat also became popular. At the same time, “T-750” also gained a huge wave of promotion.
