Chapter 66 - A TIDE OF FRIEND INVITES (2/2)

[Because you're directionally challenged.]  Well, not really completely.  Probably just a little bit.  He noticed it when they started to play together.  Luo Jin would sometimes go off the wrong direction whenever he's fl.u.s.tered.  So just to make sure, it's better if he was the one who went to him.

”Because I like Ah Jin so much, I couldn't let you do such a trivial thing,” he said, smiling sweetly at Luo Jin.

As expected, Luo Jin's face turned bright red.

When Luo Yan entered Arcadia, he appeared in front of the Moonriver Restaurant.  He immediately started walking towards the Class Bureau.  But he hadn't taken a single step yet and the notification bell for friend invitation suddenly sounded.  After that first time, it sounded again and again and again.  It almost felt like there's an alarm repeatedly ringing inside his head.

Annoyed, he opened his Status Window and was extremely shocked when he saw that he received almost a hundred friend invitation.  ”What the--?”

Why did he suddenly receive so many friend invites?  The rule of inviting another player to be your friend here in Arcadia – at least in this VR version - was pretty lax.  You only need to know their game account name.  Since no two account name were the same.

How did these people know his game account name then?

Then he suddenly remembered that fight at the Arena the other day.  If he remembered correctly, his game account name was posted on a screen for everyone to see right before the fight.  But the number of audience then weren't that much.  It couldn't even fill half of the audience area.  Could it be all those players send him a friend invite?  No, he didn't think that was the case.

So what could it be then?

Anyway, the more important thing now was to stop this.  There's no way he'd approved the invitation of these players he didn't know about.  He went to the settings of the Friend List option and disabled the function where he could receive friend invites.

After doing that, he continued walking towards his destination.

On his way, he could feel the gaze of other players on him.  Which, of course, he thoroughly ignored.  Soon, he arrived at the Class Bureau.  He immediately saw Luo Jin's tiny figure standing there.  He quickly ran towards him.

”Ah Jin, did you wait long?” he asked when he reached him.

”No.  What should we do today?”

”Let's buy weapons, then go to the Task Hall to look for some task we could do.”

”That's fine by me.”

They were about to walk when a female player suddenly approached them.  Her gaze focused on Luo Yan.

”Excuse me, are you that player 'Noctis'?” she asked, her eyes shining.

”Ah… yes?” Luo Yan just said, not really sure for the reason of this sudden approach.

”I knew it!   Wow.  You're even more beautiful than the photos posted in the forum.”

Forum?  Suddenly, Luo Yan felt like he finally had the answer on why he received that much friend invites.

He smiled sweetly at the female player.  ”Could you tell me more about that?”
