Chapter 537 - Admiral Rank? (2/2)
So Arc of Light developed its combat power rating system based on One Piece. In addition to the Seven Warlords of the Seas, there was an admiral, emperor, and king.
Although the Seven Warlords of the Seas were at the bottom of this system, anyone who was qualified to enter was regarded as a master. Most elite players of the guild couldn’t even make it to this list-out of the three thousand members, only less than a hundred made it. A total of 14 had reached the admiral level. The king level saw even fewer. Eryue Weisheng was one of them, and thus far, n.o.body had a higher position than him. It was frankly a pointless rating; other than the fact it was cool; it was a One Piece concept. Players from the Strategy Department must have been One Piece otakus. They described the emperor ranked player as having the ability to destroy the world. However, as the guild leader, February Siege further confirmed that the whole point of creating the ranking system was to copy the idea from the original work. It looked perfect since it was based on the number of rounds the player completed. Nonetheless, it was not absolute.
The battle results also had to consider environmental factors, whether one side was weaker against the other, and various other variables. It did not mean that the Seven Lords of the Sea would not defeat the admiral. Like the goons sent by the Arc of Light, they were there to cripple Zhang Heng’s sniping ability and were supposed to suppress him with close-quarters combat. The results, however, was as undesirable as it was unexpected.
“An admiral-level master player?” Eryue Weisheng’s interest was aroused. The first question he asked was the possibility of recruiting Zhang Heng.
“The three players who were killed by him were asked to recruit him.” Swordfish, on the other end of the phone, smiled bitterly. “But at that time, we thought that guy was also at Seven Lords of the Sea level. So, I guess they were not very polite when they recruit him. Should we try to recruit him again?”
Eryue Weisheng disagreed. Since Zhang Heng had refused the recruitment by action, it was pointless to try again.
After a while, he said, “Let the woman deal with him. She started this incident, so she should end it.”
On the other side, Zhang Heng had finally entered the urban village.
After losing the information that he acquired from OA, it was impossible to target the Arc of Light’s strike team one by one. So, he decided that he would go to the battlefield to face his enemies.
Xiao Bing, the front line commander, felt she was about to face a tough battle. The other party’s brutal combat methods and terrifying effectiveness had been fully demonstrated in the past hour, the reason why she received no support from headquarters. Otherwise, the war would not have dragged on until now.
The three ‘Seven Lords of the Sea’ leveled players couldn’t even defeat Zhang Heng even after they worked with each other. The men that she had were still fighting the union, and as of now, she did not have anyone strong enough to deal with Zhang Heng. In fact, she was on the ready to retreat a quarter of an hour ago. Like a firefly in the dark, she knew once her opponent dealt with the people she had, he would be coming for her.
As a result, her situation did not look too good now. She did not want to follow in the footsteps of those men that perished on the battlefield. So she has quietly retreated to a small hotel. It seemed like her bad premonition was coming true. After a while, she had lost contact with the team that was supposed to guard the place. Something terrible was about to happen to her. Xiao Bing turned off the light in the room and held a pistol, alone in the guest room’s bathroom, pointing it at the door.
