Chapter 455 - PASSING THE STORM (1/2)

INSIDE the VIP room where team Yunyue was – well, half of the team, two others, and a small fox – everyone's attention was focused on the huge virtual screen in front of them.  They were following the progress of two participants in the Rookie Carnival.  Of course, who could the two be other than Luo Yan and Luo Jin.

”It's a good thing that Xiao Yan and Xiao Jin had presence of mind to run inside the ship before the storm began,” Bai Ze commented.

Shen Ji Yun couldn't agree more.  When he saw the change in weather, he knew that something was about to happen.  Luo Yan was standing on the deck.  If something indeed happened, considering how they were in the open sea, his rabbit would definitely be one of the most affected.

That's why when he saw him running inside the ship with the little gnome, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.  But he knew things were barely even starting.  He was sure that Luo Yan would face a lot more dangerous situation before the ship reach its destination.  He just hoped that he could safely get passed all of that.

He was just glad that the game made it so that those who bought tickets to watch the prelims were able to not only see clearly the things that were happening around the player they were following, they could also hear everything.  It's almost like watching a movie.  It's different from those watching the live broadcast who could only see things in god's perspective.

At least with this, he could follow along Luo Yan in some form.  Even though he couldn't directly help him and could only watch him, that's better than not even knowing what was happening to him.

He looked down at the little fox sitting on his lap.  The other was watching the screen intently.  Shen Ji Yun rubbed Eclipse's head.

[Don't worry, your master will definitely succeed.] – he said, even though he knew that the fox couldn't hear him.

”The arrival of this storm, did it signal the beginning of the preliminary?” Luo Ren asked with a gloomy expression.  ”Was it normal not to announce it and just proceed on putting them in this kind of situation?”

What would happen if his brothers didn't have the presence of mind to rush inside the ship?  Would they be thrown into the sea?  What if they were struck by lightning?  Although he knew that this was just a holographic world and that the pain the player would feel here couldn't be compared to reality, it could still leave some psychological shadow.

Seeing the dark expression of his older cousin as if black ink would drip from his face at any second, Bai Ze quickly said, ”Brother Ren, don't be angry.  The game just loves to pit players.  But it wouldn't really bring harm to their brain or something.”

Su Yuqi glanced sideways at Bai Ze.  This idiot.  Did he really think that would calm his cousin?  Look, Luo Ren's expression became even darker.

”Doing a surprise event like this is just normal.  After all, there are too many participants.  The game had to lessen their numbers.  So, expect that this storm will not be the last obstacle they need to face.  In fact, I have a feeling that this one was already the easiest,” she said.

Luo Ren wasn't appeased hearing that.  In fact, he became even more worried.

”M-Mr. Luo, d-don't worry.  Yan Yan and Luo Jin are both good players.  Nothing will happen to them,” Yu Jiao said when she saw that Luo Ren seemed to be a bit angry.

Because of that, she suddenly remembered what Luo Yan whispered to him before he and Luo Jin separated from them.
