Chapter 242 - TEAM CELESTIALS HEADQUARTERS (1/2)
WHITE MARSH: [Zhong Hui, is that team member of yours named Uriel in your headquarters right now? A member of my team has an urgent business with him.]
It was a good thing that the other was online, Bai Ze thought. It took about ten minutes before Zhong Hui replied to his message.
Gabriel: [A member of your team? Is it the girl from the Su family or your captain?]
White Marsh: [No, it's a new member.] Then as if worried that Zhong Hui might think that Luo Yan had some bad intentions that's why he wanted to meet Uriel, he quickly added. [He's my younger cousin. So, I can guarantee his character.]
Gabriel: [Uriel is online. But let me ask him first if he's willing to meet your team mate.]
It took another ten minutes again before Zhong Hui sent back a reply.
Gabriel: [He agreed. You and your cousin could directly teleport to our headquarters. I'll send you a special pass that will let you teleport with another player.]
After Bai Ze read that, he next received the 'special pass'. It looked like some kind of ticket. He clicked 'accept' and the pass quickly went to his Items Tab. Because a team's headquarters usually remain invisible to players who weren't members of the team, any visitor needed this 'pass' so they would be allowed to enter the headquarters' premises. And this 'special pass' that Zhong Hui sent him would allow the recipient to bring another player with him.
Gabriel: [By the way, that pass' effectiveness will only last for 30 minutes. So, you better use it within that duration.]
White Marsh: [Thank you. You're a big help. Let me buy you a meal next time as thanks.]
Gabriel: [No need. If there's nothing else, then you don't have to reply back.]
Bai Ze almost laughed at the other's straightforwardness. He could almost picture Zhong Hui's overly stern face.
He closed his Status Window and said to Luo Yan sitting opposite him, ”It's done. We can now directly go the team Celestials' headquarters.”
Luo Yan smiled brightly when he heard that. ”Great! Brother Ze is so amazing. It's just a few minutes but you already managed to get permission so we could enter their headquarters.”
Bai Ze laughed and scratched the back of his head. Because of his fluffy red-orange hair and lion ears, that small action of his made him look a little bit silly. ”Well, I only did my best because it's Xiao Yan's request.”
”Thank you, Brother Ze.” Luo Yan stood up and Eclipse smartly jumped on his shoulder. ”Shall we go, then?”
Bai Ze also stood up. And the two walked out of the private box.
”But I didn't know that Brother Ze is close to one of the main players of team Celestials,” Luo Yan commented while climbing down the stairs.
He was actually not that surprised since his cousin was obviously the friendly type. It wouldn't be too shocking if he had a lot of friends – real life and virtual alike.
”We're not exactly close. At most, we could only be considered acquaintances,” Bai Ze said.
Zhong Hui belonged to a renown military family that was also based in B City. His family was also in the same upper circle as the Bai family. They were mingling in the same circle since they were kids. It's actually not just him. Bai Ze also knew other players who were from famous families. Take Xu Ru, the captain of team Sanguis, for example. He was just a bit more familiar with Zhong Hui because the other went to the same middle school as him and Shen Ji Yun.
If he remembered correctly, Zhong Hui also went to the same private high school. But for some reason, during their first year, after the first semester ended, he suddenly transferred. When Bai Ze found out that the school Zhong Hui transferred into was actually just a normal public school, he was quite surprised. He actually heard a rumor later on that he transferred there because of another person. That person being team Celestials current captain. Bai Ze was just not sure how reliable that rumor was.
