Chapter 95: A Small Exchange (1/2)

Translator: Strivon

As Luo Nan walked out of the elevator, he raised his arm to look at his wristband. The friend he had just added did not respond yet, but this was very normal. He was not counting on this little bit of a psychological hint to force the rather scheming Liu Tao into complete submission.

The human body's various neurons and neurotransmitters were encoded and encrypted by carriers of the material plane. In the case of Jack, it was absolutely impossible for a glance of eye contact to see through all of his thoughts and even all influences on emotions. Besides, Luo Nan did not even have his most capable Wraith Sign by his side.

However, it was not very difficult to see through a target's approximate emotional trend. Especially when the target harbored quite a malicious intent.

Luo Nan had not paid particular attention to Liu Tao at the beginning. He could only blame Liu Tao's own lack of confidence for the series of actions that gave off a transparently awkward vibe. Most particularly was when the elevator door closed the first time, Liu Tao appeared to have had a load off his mind... He certainly would not know that Luo Nan did not need to use his eyes to observe him at all.

What followed just required a simple bit of logic.

Luo Nan thought back to the moments after the conflict with Huang Bingzhen. Liu Tao had perfectly avoided being seen, then he showed himself to Huang Bingzhen afterwards. Most likely, Liu Tao had discovered Luo Nan and had hidden to the side to spy on them. Whether it was to help Huang Bingzhen vent some anger or for some other objective, Liu Tao had undoubtedly acted with ill intent.

So logically and naturally, Luo Nan gave Liu Tao a bit of a psychological hint. Under the overwhelming dominance of the mental plane, the aftermath caused by this ‘little bit’ of a psychological hint would be determined by Liu Tao himself.

Luo Nan went against the flow of people to enter the reception hall. He found Mo Qiu with great precision among the dazzling silhouettes of people and virtual figures.

Just as he said, Mo Qiu was waiting in front of the guide stand of the reception hall. However, something was outside of Luo Nan's expectations, this ‘third brother’ was actually by himself. There was no one next to him. There was not even a trace of his target of the meetup, Tian Si.

Luo Nan squeezed out from the crowd and spoke out in greeting, ”Third Brother, where's Mo Peng and the others?”

Mo Qiu did not answer directly and just adopted a calm expression. ”Nanster, you're here. Let's keep on waiting. Mo Rui, Mo Han will be here in a bit...”

This time, Luo Nan was not in the mood to go beating around the bush with him. He asked directly, ”Did something happen with Mo Peng and the others? Did someone get offended and a fight happened?”

As soon as these brief words were uttered, Luo Nan was able to see shock in Mo Qiu's expression. Luo Nan confirmed that he had hit the bull's eye.

Mo Qiu first reaction was. ”Mo Peng got in contact with you?”

Luo Nan spread his hands. ”I was just guessing!”

Right now, Luo Nan's mature behavior made Mo Qiu more or less overlook Luo Nan's age. He also forgot to maintain the calm and comforting demeanor of an elder brother he had constantly tried to portray and unconsciously sighed.

Actually, Mo Qiu felt quite wronged; he really did not know too much about the situation. Mo Qiu and Tian Si were loitering around Area C and chatting when the situation occurred. They were already a bit too late by the time news had gotten over.

”It seemed like Mo Cheng's battle team was provoked when they were practicing their skills. The two sides faced off in virtual reality but things became serious. Both sides had people get kicked offline due to the excessive BMing. Otherwise, it would have turned into a real fist fight...”

This was nothing really. In competitive games, BMing and challenging were part of the game. In circumstances of high immersion, when someone was unable to hold back their anger, virtual duels would become real PKs.This was a very common occurrence in a community full of young and vigorous people.

Generally speaking, a large amusement center like Frost River Reality would always have the appropriate control measures in order to prevent the situation from worsening.

However, today was just a bad day. By the time Mo Qiu got wind of the news and made his way over, people who were not even part of the battle team and did not really do anything to instigate things, like Mo Tao, Mo Peng, and even Tian Qi were all drawn in. Things really did turn into a big brawl.
