Chapter 52 - CAUGHT THE SILLY RABBIT (1/2)
A beautiful palace was sitting at the top of a certain mountain. Its design was similar to those palaces built during ancient dynasties of this country. This palace was the headquarters of Yunyue - the champion of the first season of Arcadia Cup.
Every registered team could buy a plot of land in Arcadia and build their own headquarters. If a team was rich with crystal coins, then they could buy a plot of land with good location. The design of the building would totally depend on them. It could be simple or as ridiculous and eccentric as they wanted.
When Yunyue won the first season, many players wanted to join the team. After all, they're the first champion of the Arcadia Cup, they would only be more and more famous in the future. Besides, there were only five original members. Integrating in such a team would be much easier. But during the first recruitment of Yunyue, a lot of problems arose and it just ended in a complete disaster. Because of that, they never ensued another recruitment notice again.
The following year, they didn't participate at the second Arcadia Cup. Soon, their popularity began to dwindle until players started calling the the 'fallen champions'. It didn't help that the original five members were now only three. Probably making them the team with the least member in Arcadia.
Bai Ze - who was currently walking towards the main hall of the palace - didn't mind that, what he didn't like was being called 'fallen champions'. He, Ji Yun, and Yuqi were only freshmen in high school and the other two were seniors when Yunyue was founded. Ji Yun wanted to form a team to show his support to his uncle. But because he's a big iceberg who didn't like to interact with people, the task of gathering team mates was left to him.
At that time, he accidentally heard that one of their classmate, Su Yuqi, was playing Arcadia. So he asked if she wanted to form a team with them. Knowing her indifferent character, he thought she would refuse. But miraculously, she agreed. And then he found the two seniors next.
Ji Yun was the only one of them who played seriously, the rest of them were only playing for fun. So the title of the captain was directly given to him. Bai Ze was a bit nervous at first when the tournament started. Who knew that with Ji Yun's leadership, they would win the championship.
The five of them really bonded during that period. Even if Ji Yun didn't look like it, he knew that he also considered the other three as friends. That's why Bai Ze was always annoyed when other players referred to them as 'fallen champions'. Because they're not only mocking him but his friends as well. Too bad the other four didn't really care that much.
When he entered the main hall, Bai Ze was a bit startled when he saw Ji Yun sitting inside. He was still using his human race alt account. Bai Ze continued walking and sat down on the seat opposite.
”Ji Yun, why are you still using your alt account?” he asked.
”It's incovenient to use my real one,” Shen Ji Yun answered with that usual cold voice.
Hearing that answer, he suddenly remembered that Ji Yun went to Olkdale Town yesterday. ”Does it have something to do with your trip to Olkdale Town?” Ji Yun nodded. ”What are you doing there anyway?”
”I'm looking for someone.”
Now Bai Ze understood why Ji Yun had to use his alt account. If he walked on the streets of Olkdale Town using his real game account, even if no one recognized him as the team captain of the first champions of Arcadia Cup, his race was still too eyecatching. He would surely be the center of attention. One of the things that Ji Yun was most annoyed about.
”Who are you looking for?”
[A silly rabbit], Shen Ji Yun automatically answered in his mind. He saw that it was almost four o'clock, so he stood up. ”I'm leaving.”
”Are you going back to Olkdale Town? Then let me come with you. I have nothing to do anyway.”
”No,” Shen Ji Yun refused without hesitation.
”Why?”
