“Miss Rui! I was wondering if I could have the honor of inviting Miss Rui to dine with me at the Michelin Restaurant for lunch. To show my gratitude for yesterday’s mission!”

The arena match had a lot of “ups and downs.” In the previous two rounds, the result between the match between the two top ten masters was a win each. As such, the last match had been extremely heated. In the end, the Light Armor Warrior called Blade had won narrowly with just 6 percent of his HP left.

This “fierce” match had earned the praise and commendation of many, and the popularity of the two Top Ten Masters was higher than ever. However, Feng Luo and Sister Rui only exchanged glances as they came to a mutual conclusion, knowing that the third round was just an “act” that both sides had earlier negotiated. As such, just as the match was about to end, both of them stood up and prepared to leave.

However, at that moment, unexpectedly, the “Handsome Superstar” September Night Rain appeared with a bunch of his followers behind him while extending the invitation to Sister Rui with a bright smile on his face.

Have lunch together?

In common games, eating within a game would be quite meaningless. However, it was slightly different in War, since eating in a highly realistic game like this could directly stimulate a person’s sense of taste and allow the body to really “taste” something. On a deeper level, for players using the game capsule, since the AI system of the game capsule would automatically replenish the body with nutritional liquids when they ate, it could even create a feeling of fullness and satiation in real life after eating delicacies in the game.

As such, many people opted not to return to the real world to eat the not-so-bad-tasting food in the real world that was mostly synthesized, fake food products during mealtime. Instead, they preferred to eat and drink in-game, especially when it came to rare food ingredients in the game. They were incredibly tasty, and if they were prepared by a Master-level Chef NPC, they could even provide a temporary stat boost.

The Michelin restaurant September Night Rain mentioned was one of the restaurants in Storm City that had a famous Master NPC Chef as its main chef. There was no way for normal players to get a reservation there.

“There’s no need,” Sister Rui said casually with a cold expression. “We already have reservations at the Star Ocean Night Sky restaurant.”

Star Ocean Night Sky Restaurant was also a famous restaurant in Storm City. As it used environment simulation technology on a large scale, each of the tables in the restaurant looked like small planets in space, and the dining experience was mesmerizing. More importantly, this restaurant was an incredibly famous couple’s restaurant in Storm City!

After seeing Feng Luo and Sister Rui casually enter the automatic flying car parked beside the platform, a follower looked at September Night Rain’s face and said cautiously, “That... Brother September...?”

“Help me get people from the Hound Organization and check the guy’s background.” September Night Rain stood in place with a stiff expression, his long and thin eyes filled with anger.

After that, by the time he turned his head around, his expression instantly carried the same “warm” smile he always carried as he faced a few young female players running toward him from the platform.

Afternoon, game time. Inside Lin’s laboratory on the highest floor of the Hurricane building...

You’ve injected “Primary Evolution Virus (W) Enhancement Potion Type IV.” The synthesizing time for the potion is half an hour. Synthesizing...

Due to the Enhancement Potion, your “Evolution” talent has been activated...

Feng Luo lay inside a ball-shaped vessel containing nutritional liquid while witnessing a silver, medical mechanical arm injecting the Enhancement Potion into his body very slowly. After that, a system notification popped up in both his visual and auditory windows!

Feng Luo felt a dead and cold feeling when the Enhancement Potion entered his body, but later, it gradually turned hot, entering his bloodstream as the potion flowed to every part of his body. Every cell in his body seemed to obtain new strength after the heat coursed through his veins. The feeling made Feng Luo close his eyes subconsciously.

After half an hour...

Synthesized Primary Evolution Virus (W) Enhancement Potion Type IV. Obtained: Agility +10, HP +300, movement speed +5%, basic endurance consumption rate −20%...

The notification that appeared in Feng Luo’s system logs when he opened his eyes meant that the synthesis of his body and the potion had been very successful.

There were some key differences in terms of stats between the W-virus Enhancement Potion that Lin created and the T-virus Enhancement Potion that Feng Luo had obtained through a previous mission. The Agility (W-Virus) Enhancement Potion was the same as the Type-Seven (T-virus) potion. The main bonus attribute was a +10 in agility.

As for the HP increase of 300, it was 100 more than the 200-HP increase of the T-virus. However, the increase in movement speed was 5 percent less! And as for the last bonus attribute, the T-virus gave “slight improvement of Visual Perception,” while the W-virus was “decrease endurance consumption rate by 20%.”

All in all, it was hard to say which one was better than the other. But for Feng Luo, who possessed the “Rage of the Stone Lizard King (Ring),” the HP increase was better than the movement speed increase. After all, a Sniper rarely needed to utilize his maximum movement speed. (Note: The movement speed increase means increasing the maximum movement speed, which means the maximum speed when running at full speed, but the endurance consumption rate while running at full speed would be extremely high).

Apart from that, on the lower part of the system logs, there was another notification that came straight after.

Due to the activation of your “Evolution” talent during the synthesis process, you’ve gained an extra: +2 Agility, HP +50, Movement speed +1%, basic endurance consumption rate −40%, Primary Evolution Virus resistance increased!

Upon seeing this message, Feng Luo wasn’t sure if he should be happy or disappointed.

When he heard the system notification telling him that the Evolution talent was activated, he was definitely quite excited. Although he had guessed previously that the first Enhancement Potion might activate his Evolution talent, it had still been a guess, after all, so he hadn’t been 100-percent certain.

In the end, he’d guessed correctly. Feng Luo was filled with expectation when it came to the “Evolution.”

It was important to know that the first time the Evolution Virus had synthesized and integrated on the Feiyi Hao when they’d first met, the Evolution talent directly doubled his permanent stats that increased when it was activated!

As for the night a few days ago, when it was suddenly activated for some weird reason, he had an extra 1,000 HP! Due to this, Feng Luo had high expectations regarding the Evolution talent’s activation this time.

However, in the end, unexpectedly, the increase of the additional stats was only just one-fifth of the Enhancement Potion.

Perhaps I’ve been too greedy, Feng Luo thought while laughing at himself in the nutrition liquid.

The Evolution talent was actually already quite amazing. By just relying on this talent, his basic stats were already a lot higher and better than other normal-level players. One might have even guessed that the stat increase Feng Luo experienced while using the Enhancement Potion was much higher than an average player, so what was there to be dissatisfied about?

While Feng Luo was lost in thought, Lin, who had been standing there the whole time, had already recorded all his body information. Then, after Lin extracted some blood from him, she let the medical mechanical arm inject the second potion, which was the vitality Enhancement Potion.

You’ve injected “Primary Evolution Virus (W) Enhancement Potion Type One. The synthesis time for this potion is 30 minutes. Synthesizing...

The system would send out a notification after the vitality Enhancement Potion completely entered the body.

Due to the Enhancement Potion, your “Evolution” talent was activated...

However, a notification that Feng Luo did not expect at all suddenly appeared!

“Wait!”

After hearing that notification, Feng Luo froze.

How is that possible? The Evolution talent is activated? Doesn’t the Evolution talent have a restriction that states that the stats can only increase once in the same situation? Then, based on logic, this type of Enhancement Potion should only be effective if it was the first one, right?

Feng Luo could not wrap his head around the entire ordeal. This was not what he had expected.

Just what is going on?! Could it be that the activation condition for the Evolution Talent is different from what I imagined?
