Chapter 468 - THE BROTHERS BACK IN REALITY (2/2)

”Could we just talk about something else?” he could only say, hoping that Luo Yan would stop teasing him now.

Luo Yan felt pity and decided to stop teasing his younger brother.  ”Okay.  So, what does Ah Jin want to talk about?”

Luo Jin secretly let out a sigh of relief when Luo Yan finally gave up the topic about Su Yuqi.  ”How about the preliminary round tomorrow?  What do you think the theme would be?”

”Well, it's really hard to guess what those game devs were planning,” Luo Yan said.  After all, their brain holes are quite deep.  ”But it would definitely be something that could decrease the number of participants at the fastest speed.”

”Do you know how many players usually reached the tournament round of this Carnival?” Luo Jin thought of asking.

Because after the end of the preliminary round tomorrow, they had to wait until the last week of the month for the tournament round.  So, there's a period of time between the two rounds.

”I read on the forum that last year, there were 20 players who fought at the tournament round.  It would probably also be around that number this time.”

From what Luo Yan read, those 20 players fought in a tournament-like manner and the last one standing was crowned as champion.  It would probably be the same this time around.  Because from what he heard, the only thing that changed each year since the Rookie Carnival started was the theme of the preliminary round.

”So, they had to cut down more than 1000 players to about 20.”  Luo Jin couldn't imagine just how they were planning to do that.  But they better not let them play until evening.  ”Why do you think the duration between the preliminary and the final tournament is three weeks?  Why couldn't they just do it the day after the preliminary ended?”

”So they could hype up the final tournament round, what else?” Luo Yan said.  ”Remember, the whole preliminary round was being broadcasted live.  And even who wasn't able to watch it live would still be able to watch it because everything will be posted on their official website.  The players who watched it couldn't stop themselves from being invested.  As days passed by, they would just become more and more excited.  And once the tournament day arrived, they would most likely buy a ticket to watch everything on the spot.”

”In short, it's just another strategy to collect more money from the players?”

”Well, at least that's how I see it.”

Luo Jin leaned back on the couch.  ”I must say, that's a pretty good strategy.”

”Right?”

”Anyway, why is Brother still not coming down?  Don't tell me he's still in the game?” Luo Jin said, looking at the stairs.

Luo Yan also turned his head towards that direction.  But unlike Luo Jin, he had a guess on why their brother was still in the game.

He smiled.  ”Maybe he's having fun.”

[With Jiao Jiao.] – he added to himself.
