After dinner, Luo Yan logged into the game as usual. He appeared in the hall of Yue Yun's headquarters. He was surprised to find that there was no one. Ah, by the way, during the meal, Luo Jin mentioned that he and their cousin Bai Ze, and the girl named Su were doing chain tasks.

Should he go and do his job?

As he prepares to leave, there is a slight distortion in the air, and then the incarnation of the cloud appears. Or as Luo Yan has already learned, the game avatar of his alt account. He had called him again before, and they had a video chat for a while. They didn't talk much. Most of the time, Himejin Yun just gave him pointers on a few questions that he wasn't sure about the answers to.

Luo Yan was a little surprised to find that Ji Shen Yun himself was also a bit of a genius. No, a little bit might be an understatement. Even though he majored in computer science, he still had an understanding of other subjects unrelated to his chosen major. Like those subjects that Luo Yan is not good at. He can easily explain to him things that he can't understand. He was even better than his mentor. Probably because he's a student himself, he knows what students like him need to focus on.

That's why he doesn't mind video calls because he benefits from them. He wanted to know what Himejin Cloud had gotten out of it. Maybe he likes to talk to him? After all, he's such a clumsy guy. There are probably only a handful of people he can talk to.

"Brother Ji Yun," Luo Yan greeted him with a smile.

Ji Shen Yun stared at Luo Yan for a while. If he hadn't fallen into a coma when he was 10 years old, it could have been his height. Because of this, the growth rate of his body slowed down considerably. caused him to be so petite. Ji Shenyun even suspected that he was deprived of food. It's a good thing he didn't mention it to him, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

"What are you going to do?" He asked after walking towards Luo Yan.

Luo Yan nodded. Then he suddenly remembered something. "Brother Ji Yun, can the five of us go to the dungeon?"

He really didn't want to repeat his experience in the hellish abyss dungeon. It's better to have trustworthy teammates when raiding.

"Absolutely. Is it for the skill book? Ji Shen Yun remembered that he wrote the names of several dungeons that could provide skill books on the list he gave Luo Yan as one of the rewards.

"No, it's actually raw materials for the manufacture of weapons. Luo Jin and I still need at least two more materials to craft our weapons. ”

"What material?"

"adamantane and T

iase," Luo Yan replied.

Ji Shenyun nodded appreciatively. Both adamantane and trimers are good materials for making weapons. Adamantite ensures the highest level of durability of the weapon. With it as one of the materials, the weapon will not break so easily. On the other hand, T

IASE can increase the potential strength of weapons.

"Then there's no need for any dungeon raids. You can buy both materials at the Ministry of Finance," he said.

"The Ministry of Finance?"

"Yes. Each team has one. If a member has an item they don't need, they can put it in the team's coffers, and it will become the team's common property. So you and your brother can get what you need there, if anything. ”

This is the first time Luo Yan has heard of the Ministry of Finance. Well, if there was an easier way to get what he needed, he certainly wouldn't refuse. "Okay," he replied happily.

"Would you like to check with me?"

Luo Yan nodded without hesitation.

Together, they walked out of the main hall. The cloud led the way to the vault located inside the palace. As they walked, Luo Yan looked around. As he expected, the place is really big.

Soon, they came to a tall door. It stretches from floor to ceiling. Himejin Yun put his hand on the door. When his palm touched the crack in the door, the crack lit up. As the light reaches the floor and ceiling, the door slowly opens.

When Luo Yan saw the things in the room, his eyes widened slightly. In one corner of the room there are many treasure chests stacked. Rows of cabinet-like glass cabinets are neatly arranged. There are a lot of things in it and it looks like it's all worth the money. It was the first time he had seen such an orderly treasure room.

"Yu is the cataloger here. So if you don't find what you need, you can ask her directly. ”

After listening to Yun's words, he suddenly understood why this place was so orderly. This is all thanks to Sue's management. She does look like someone who can't stand the chaos.

He walked into the room and looked around. He recognized some of the items in the glass case. Some are difficult to find and are considered very rare items.

"There's definitely a lot of treasure in this team," he commented.

"Well, it's the accumulation of five years of playing," Yun said.

This is a reasonable answer. It won't be difficult for three highly skilled players to collect so many treasures. Luo Yan continued to look around, and then he remembered something, and he thought that he should mention it to Ji Shen Yun.

"Brother Ji Yun, Luo Jin and I got an invitation as a reward in the hell abyss dungeon. This is for Thursday's King's Party. Can Brother Ji Yun and the others also come? ”

Luo Yan thinks that it would be nice if they could go as a team. In addition to the benefits of having someone familiar with IT go with them, it's also a great way for the five of them to promote teamwork. Because if a player is clamoring to go to that party, it means that it's not just an ordinary party. Maybe the king will order them to do some task or something.

"The King's Annual Party?" Ji Shenyun almost forgot that it was that time of the year.

"Yes. But I only have one invitation, so I can only bring two companions. ”

"Oh, you don't need to worry about that. I think Bai Ze also has one. ”

"Really? That means we can all go? ”

Himejin Yun looked at the rabbit's large, golden blue eyes. It's full of excitement and anticipation. He just couldn't bear to refuse him. "Yes. We're all going. ”

Luo Yan smiled brightly. "Yay! Then maybe Brother Jiyun should also use his real game account when we go. I really want to see the real avatar of Brother Jiyun. ”

Well, if this is what the rabbit wants, Ji Shenyun has no reason to refuse. Also, some of the top players in the game should also attend that party. His avatar can be used as a buffer in case someone wants to cause trouble for Luo Yan. It was also a good time to let others know that he and that dwarf were part of Yue Yun.

"Okay."

"Why hasn't the cold noodles come yet?" Luo Jin asked with a little impatience in his tone. "Don't tell me he's putting on makeup?"

The other four members of Yue Yun were all waiting in the entrance hall of the palace. Because today is the annual gathering of the kings of Arcadia.

Because they needed to arrive at the Black Lake before six o'clock in the evening, Luo Yan and Luo Jin both had dinner early. Although their father and brother were a little upset about it. But in the end, they gave in and let them do whatever they wanted. Or to be more precise, neither father nor son can say 'no' to Luo Yan.

Bai Ze put his hand on Luo Jin's head and ruffled his hair. "Golden Owl, I told you not to call our captain like that."

Luo Jin brushed his cousin's hand away. "Don't make a fuss, Brother Ze!"

"Whatever he calls Ji Yun. It's not that Ji Yun cares," Su said in her usual cold voice.

"Hey, Sue, I've noticed it these days, but are you standing there too much? We've been friends for five years, and you've only been on a mission with this kid for a few days, and you're already favoring him? ”

Luo Jin on the side listened to Bai Ze's words and blushed for no reason. Then he stopped. Why is he blushing? Is it because Sue is biased towards him? This is not well founded. So is it because he has a crush on Sue? After all, she wasn't a hate at all. Unlike all the other girls he's seen so far.

From elementary school to now, all the girls he has come into contact with are very annoying. When he was in elementary school, they would force him to play with them. At first he would ignore them, but later, it didn't really work, and they would still keep pulling him. So he would shout at them to stop. Then they will suddenly start crying, as if everything is his fault. It's theirs!

Then he got to middle school, and those girls evolved and became a lot more annoying. They would apply grease and powder to their face and then spray on a disgusting perfume. Then ask him if he can date them. Why would he do such a thing? First of all, are they minors, they have not yet reached puberty, but they have already begun to think about getting a boyfriend? Shame on you!

Luo Jin thought it was already the worst, but when he got to high school, he was proven wrong again. Those girls turn into controlling creatures and act as if they are the kindest and sweetest girls, but behind everyone, they are nothing more than bullies with princess complexes. They all wanted to get close to him just because his surname was Luo. He's really fed up with that kind of girl.

Compared to those girls, Sue was like a breath of fresh air. That's all. That's all.

Luo Yan, who was standing next to Luo Jin, noticed that his brother's face turned red. He looked at him with interest. He bent down and whispered in Luo Jin's ear, "Ah Jin, why are you blushing?" You may be glad that Sister Yu likes you? ”

Luo Jin suddenly heard the words of the second brother, and his face turned even redder. "Ahh Be quiet, or she'll hear you! He replied in a low voice.

"Hmm...... If Ah Jin said so," Luo Yan said with a smile and in a mocking tone.

"Ahh Is this a camaraderie between little avatar players? Bai Ze said.

Hearing this, Luo Jin's blush immediately turned into a black line. And Su only gave Bai Ze this look.

"Sue, you're looking at me like that again," Bai Ze said, obviously dissatisfied. She looked at him as if he were just a single-celled creature.

"Because you deserve it," Sue said dryly.

"You-"

"Now, now, we shouldn't fight," Luo Yan said as she walked between the two. Then he turned to Bai Ze. "Okay, Brother Ze?"

Bai Ze looked at his cousin, his big blue eyes that shone with a golden light. As if silently asking him to stop arguing with Su. "Okay," he could only say.

Luo Yan smiled. Then he turned to Sue. "Sister Yu, I've always wanted to ask this question, but can I know my sister's race?"

He was genuinely curious. He had always thought that this must be a fairy, because of her incarnate figure and the wings behind her. But when he searched the forums, the fairies had different wing shapes.

"I'm an elf."

Oh, elves, huh? Luo Yan could actually see why the design of her avatar could be considered a little elf. "No wonder the nuns look so beautiful and charming."

He actually wanted to say 'cute,' but Sue probably didn't like that.

A faint flush appeared on Sue's cheeks. It's actually a bit embarrassing to hear someone say she's "pretty", especially from the mouth of such a beautiful child. "Yes."

Luo Yan looked at Luo Jin. "Ah Jin thinks so too, right?"

Luo Jin's face was slightly red, and then he looked at his younger brother with a frown. "What do you ask me for?"

He glanced at Sue's slightly flushed cheeks, and then immediately turned his gaze away.

Due to the sudden distortion in the air, Luo Yan had no time to tease his younger brother anymore. A signal that someone is about to appear. In this case, it can only be Himejin Cloud.

The figure that appeared in front of them really shocked Luo Yan.

Himejin Cloud wears a black kimono-like robe with purple golden clouds carved at the bottom. It was over a dark purple turtle-collared shirt — the violets were so dark that they looked almost black at first glance — and a pair of black plants that had been torn at the knees. It comes with a pair of black boots. His outfit may not be as special or flamboyant, but it suits his temperament well.

He had long, dark purple hair with three inches of silver at the ends. He still had that cold, handsome face. The only difference is his eyes. It is the color of dark amethyst. It is trimmed with gold borders around the edges. His extraordinary eyes have vertical pupils, which can only belong to a beast. On the top of his head, there is a pair of golden antler-like horns.

These added features will only make Ji Shenyun look more attractive. Like a beautiful gemstone with sharp edges. You want to touch it. But once you do, you'll get hurt right away.

"Are you surprised, Xiao Yan?" Bai Ze asked beside Luo Yan. "Ji Yun's real supernatural power is a unicorn. He was the only one of his kind throughout the game. ”

Luo Yan glanced back at the cloud.

A unicorn?

Qi Lin? One of the four auspicious beasts alongside dragons, phoenixes, and turtles? He looked back at the clouds again. Even in nondescript clothes, he is too conspicuous. Just look at the hair, the face, and the horns. No wonder the first time he saw Luo Yan was with his alt account. If he wanders around with his true avatar, he will surely cause a commotion.

Even if he wasn't the captain that other players liked to call "fallen champions," his presence was enough to attract everyone's attention. If Himejin Yun looks ordinary, then even if he is the legendary Kirin, it won't have much of an impact. But fortunately, the face value of Himejin Cloud is sky-high. Coupled with the features of the unicorn, his face literally becomes the background of the sky.

Luo Yan suddenly had a feeling of sudden realization. Probably the system of this game takes into account the appearance of the player before giving them a match. At least that's the case for those who chose 'randomly chosen'. They have two perfect examples. Obviously, one is the clouds, with a legendary race. The other is, of course, him, Luo Yan. This system may have realized how beautiful he was and given him a special race to highlight his beauty.

If that's the case, then the game system is doing a great job.

Luo Yan walked towards the clouds, his eyes shining. "Wow, Brother Jiyun looks so cool!"

Himejin Yun's appearance hasn't changed much, but inside of him, a simple joy fills him. Like a praised child. He is even proud that the race of his game avatar is the Kirin. But he couldn't express his emotions well, and in the end he could only nod his head.

Luo Jin looked at Yun's cool avatar and then looked down at his small body. Why does this cold bastard get such a cool avatar and he is stuck with it? Then he casually glanced at Sue's indifferent face, feeling a little ashamed. Their game avatars were almost the same size, but he hadn't heard her complain once.

If he continues to complain, it will only highlight how immature he is. Plus, as much as he didn't want to admit it, he was used to this tiny body. He just avoided looking at the cold-faced guy too much so he wouldn't feel too jealous.

"Brother Ze said that you are the only unicorn in the paradise. It's amazing! Luo Yan said, continuing to compliment Ji Shenyun.

Himegami Cloud stared away, as he could feel his face heating up. Although he was glad that the rabbit seemed to like his avatar, he couldn't help but feel a little shy inside. Of course, none of these emotions showed on his face.

"That's because in the game, the Kirin is one of the legendary races. Selecting "Random Selection", the player's chances of getting the legendary race are very, very, very, very small. That's why the player who manages to get one, most of the time, is just one of the kind," Bai Ze explained. He was skeptical that Uncle Mu Yi had actually modified the game system so that he could give his nephew a legendary match. Considering his affection for Himejin Cloud, this wouldn't be too far-fetched. "A good example of this is our captain here. Another example is the captain of the Phoenix, he is a phoenix. ”

Well, the name of the team is 'Phoenix', and you don't need a genius to know that the captain must be Phoenix. This is what Luo Yan thinks.

Himejin Yun coughed and cleared his throat. He immediately changed the subject. "Before we go to the Black Lagoon, I want to explain to you two a little bit about the King's annual party," he said to Rabbit and his dwarf brother. "Because it's your first time participating."

"Okay," Luo Yan said. It's good to have a first-hand understanding of the event they'll be attending.

Luo Jin only snorted.

Ji Shen Yun looked at Luo Yan's obedient expression, and then at the dwarf's obviously provocative expression. As he thought, rabbits are still the best. "Since this annual gathering is to celebrate the King's birthday, everything will go according to his wishes. He will make demands, sometimes very unreasonable, from his guests. Those who manage to complete it are rewarded by the king. ”

"The reward given by the king is always the best and highest quality, so we should do our best to meet his request," Bai Ze added.

Sue nodded in agreement.

"The king's requirements usually don't involve combat, so it's okay if the player's level is low," Yun continued. "His demands almost always resemble brain teasers. "

"Not ordinary brain teasers, but very complex brain teasers, often involving equally complex solutions," Bai Ze complained. He couldn't help but be annoyed by the unreasonable demands made by the previous king. To be honest, he had no interest in attending that party this year. But since Luo Yan asked them all to go, how could he refuse?

Oh, and that's why invitations can be found as a reward in a fairly low-level dungeon, like the Hell's Abyss. Because whatever the king asks, it will not depend on the player's level. Luo Yan was a little happy about this. After all, he's only level 45 now. Because of his studies, he hasn't had time to completely smooth it out. Now even Luo Jin is five levels higher than him. Well, he'll have to make up for it after the entrance exam.

But now, he's very excited about the king's birthday party. He wondered what kind of reward an NPC person who was considered the king of Arcadia would give.

"Do you have any questions?" Ji Shenjuan asked.

"Wouldn't it be dangerous?" Luo Jin asked.

"There's always a danger in an activity like this," Yun replied simply.

"You don't have to be afraid, Golden Owl. You have three top players around you. We will definitely protect you and Xiao Yan," Bai Ze said, messing up Luo Jin's hair.

Ji Shenyun nodded inside. Yes, he will protect the rabbits.

Luo Jin angrily shook off his cousin's hand. "Who's scared? I'm just asking! ”

"Yes, yes, if you say so," Bai Ze said, obviously not believing Luo Jin's words.

Luo Jin glared angrily at this cousin of his. At times, he was almost conquered by the urge to beat him unconscious.

"It's time for us to go," Sue said as she looked at the time in her status window.

"Are you ready?" Yun asked.

Luo Yan nodded. "Yes!"

At this time, a group teleportation scroll was transported. "Let's go."

When the feeling of being pulled into a vacuum disappeared, Luo Yan opened her eyes. In front of him was a large lake. Its water is as black as obsidian. No, it's not because it's pitch black all around. The sun hasn't completely set yet, yet the lake is still as dark as the night sky. Its surface even sparkles. It was as if hundreds of diamonds had been thrown into it.

Is this the Black Lake?

It is located in the middle of the forest and is surrounded by colorful wildflowers. There are black crystal protrusions on the surface of the lake, which add a certain magical atmosphere to the whole environment.

"Xiao Yan, do you know why the water in the Black Lake is that color?" Bai Ze asked, putting his hand on Luo Yan's shoulder.

Because that's how game developers design it? But of course, Luo Yan did not say such an ironic response. "Why?"

"See those black crystals? The bottom of the lake is full of these. These crystals secrete a black liquid when they come into contact with water. Then those black liquids fused with the lake water and turned black. Hence the name 'Black Lake'. ”

"Wow, Brother Ze knows so much!" Luo Yan said. While he's not really interested, it's still good information.

Bai Ze smiled: "Of course I know a lot."

Su looked at Bai Ze's indifferent appearance, and she almost snorted. What "knows a lot", if she is not mistaken, is what Yun told him. She didn't bother to correct it, so she went to look elsewhere.

"By the way, before I forget. You two, try not to call us by our real names, just our game account names," Bai Ze added after a while, speaking to his little cousins. "Of course we will do the same. But what to do? The name of the Golden Owl is too long," he said with a hint of teasing.

Luo Jin glared at Bai Ze angrily. "Just call me Kim!"

Luo Yan knew that Bai Ze and Su's game names were Bai Ze and Su respectively. But he still doesn't know the game name of Cloud's real game avatar. So he turned to him. "Brother Jiyun, what is this avatar called?"

"It's the clouds."

When Luo Yan heard this name, her mouth opened wide. His account name is Shen, and his real account name is Yun, and if we add these to his WeChat ID, you will immediately see that Yun is not the kind of person who wastes time thinking of those imaginative names. After all, all these usernames are derived from his real name.

By the time they arrived, there were already other players who had arrived there before them. Everyone stared at the five people who had just arrived.

"Hey, look at that horned guy. What race is that? A man asked his friend who had come with him.

"I seem to have seen him somewhere. Yes! That's right! He's the captain of that team! His friend said.

"The team?"

"Yue Yun! Inaugural Champion! ”

"Yue Yun? You mean fallen champions? And then that guy—" The first person to ask looked back at the guy with the golden antlers. "Is it a Kirin?"

The same conversation is happening around them.

The three female members of the Siren team all looked at the Yue Yun team excitedly. Especially to their captain. Well, probably not all three. The one with cat ears and cat tail stared at the white-haired elf and the little black-haired dwarf standing next to him.

If Luo Yan saw her, he might recognize her as the cat beast Kim who stopped him and Luo Jin in the town of Oakdale and asked him for a screenshot of the game's avatar.

"Jingyi, isn't that a contestant cloud?" A female elf asked another female player next to her. "We should take as many screenshots of him as possible! If we show her, the captain will be pleased. After all, there are very few new photos of him now. ”

This female gamer, known as Jingichi by the elves, has long pale blue hair and a pair of sea-green eyes. Her ears are like fins. Underneath these, if you look closely, you'll see gills-like openings. Her hands are webbed, and a filament connects one finger to the other.

She stared intently at Captain Yue Yun. This player, Cloud, is the captain of the Sirens, the person her sister admires the most. Zhu Jingyi didn't expect him to participate in this event. After all, Yue Yun has been quite low-key in the past few years. She also recognized the other two people who were with him. Lion Beast Gold, White Swamp - one of the strongest berserkers in the game. There's also the pink-haired elf Morganstone - a priest who can not only support but also attack.

Zhu Jingyi knew that both were part of Yue Yun. So it's not a surprise to see them with the cloud at all. But who are the other two? One of them is a dwarf, and the color of his hair and eyes is unusual in his race. The other is the more striking white-haired elf. Porcelain white skin, big blue eyes, pink lips. A face that transcends gender, anyone can be captivated by him, if he wants to.

"Li Xia, who is that elf?" She asked the cat-eared girl.

"His game name is Noctis, a moon elf. This is one of the special matches that have been added after the latest update," Li Xia replied. "Oh, it's not just him. But that dwarf is likely to be a special race as well. ”

Zhu Jingyi frowned. If they had gotten these avatars since the last update, they would have been... Beginners? If so, what did they do to Yue Yun?

Li Xia didn't have as complicated thoughts as Zhu Jingyi. All she could think of at the moment was all the good material she could gather at this event. After this, she is sure to be able to draw many good things. She looked back at Noctis again, her eyes sparkling. Fortunate!

When everyone was still talking about Yue Yun, there was a distortion in the air. Someone is going to send a signal. Then a tall figure slowly appeared in front of everyone. It was a male player in a black suit with a cane in his hand. His dark hair was combed back, his skin was pale, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Oh, am I in time?" Xu Ru asked, a seductive smile floating on his red lips.

Luo Yan looked at the newcomer. A tall, lanky man is playing with his cane. That face, that way of talking, why did he look familiar?

"Hey, Yan, isn't this the flirtatious guy we've seen in the restaurant before?" Luo Jin said, recognizing the new male team member. He made a very bad impression on him, so he remembered it well.

Because of what Luo Jin said, it triggered a certain memory inside his brain. Before they go with the three to raid the abyss of Hell, a male player in a black suit warns them not to trust the three men. He didn't think much about that encounter, so he quickly forgot about it. Who would have thought that they would meet again here?

"Ah, yes, I remember," he said.

"What, you two know Ainukad?" Bai Ze asked after hearing the conversation between the two.

"Alucard?" Luo Jin asked.

"The player in the suit over there. Didn't you two just talk about him? Bai Ze pointed at him with a thumbs up and called him "Aluca."

d".

"Essentially, we don't know him. We just met briefly," Luo Yan replied. "Is he a famous athlete?"

The latest movies are released on ʟɪɢʜᴛɴᴏᴠᴇʟᴡᴏʀʟᴅ.

"I think he is," Bai Ze said reluctantly. "He's Sa

Captain of the Guis team, it's a very strong team. Since their team was formed three years ago, they have been ranked in the top 10 of the Acadia Cup. ”

"If the captain had taken the game more seriously, they might have been ranked higher," Sue commented in her nonchalant tone.

"By the way, Yu Period, I almost forgot that you knew Sangis's vice-captain," Bai Ze said, remembering this special information.

Captain of the strong team. Luo Yan didn't expect this guy to become a celebrity in the game. Well, he definitely has a presence of someone who is not easily overlooked.

"That nasty ghost called Yan 'my good,'" Luo Jin said suddenly. He still gets goosebumps when he thinks about it.

Luo Yan's face was almost covered with black lines. [Ah Jin, do you really want to mention that? ]

Hearing this, Ji Shen Yun's brows tightened. My cute? Why would a man call another man that? While this rabbit is indeed cute, it is not something that a man would blurt out casually. He glanced sharply at Alucard. Somehow, this person doesn't seem so pleasing to the eye.

"Huh? What is his name Xiao Yan? Bai Ze reacted angrily. That unbearable dude! Could it be that he can't tell the difference between a man and a woman anymore? ”

Although Bai Ze must admit that his cousin is definitely prettier than most of the girls out there. But that doesn't mean anyone can go and flirt with him. Especially that guy. No, wait - why would he think it was natural for other men to flirt with his cousin, who was apparently also a boy?

Ji Shenjuan glanced at Bai Ze. "You know him?" Not talking about games, he asked, but in real life. Because the way Bai Ze spoke just now seemed to be something he knew personally.

"He is the young master of the Xu family in City B. I doubt you know him because you don't socialize much. But I bet your cousin knows him. After all, they operate in the same social circle. "Bai Ze has seen him a few times, because their family has done some business together. Xu Ru really didn't leave the best impression. Probably because every time I saw him, he was always surrounded by women. "He's notoriously a super playboy. He changed his girlfriend like he changed clothes. ”

Sue Yu didn't have such a bad impression of Alucard. After all, with Qin's temper, if he was so bad, she wouldn't tolerate him continuing to be the vice captain.

According to what Bai Ze said, it can be speculated that this Young Master Xu is also a rich second generation. In addition, he is also a playboy. Surrounded by women all the time, he is simply the enemy of all men. Of course, he was not envious. With his beauty, it's hard to find a girl who can match him. They will only end up jealous of him.

Oh, maybe that girl named Song Liu Li can. After all, she was almost as beautiful as he was.

When Himejin Yun heard this description, his impression of the guy named "Alucard" dropped even more. A playboy? Does this mean that he has that kind of thought about Luo Yan? But rabbits are male, so, maybe not? Most likely, he is expressing his admiration, because the rabbit looks really good. But if that's not the case, then. He glanced sharply at Alucard. That's another story entirely.

Perhaps Himejin Cloud's gaze was so strong that Alukad felt it beyond question. He looked in their direction. He only glanced at the clouds, and then his gaze immediately fell on the rabbit. This made Yun's brow furrow even tighter.

Xu Ru, on the other side, smiled. The rest of their team was supposed to go to the event, but he went. Because he knew the white-haired elves would come. He doubted that any one of his team would really be able to convince the elves to join their team. They were all so old-fashioned and serious, and none of them would bother to convince anyone to be part of their team with their little charm. Moreover, they listened to Qin more than to him. Sometimes, he even wondered if he was really a captain.

Well, since it is Shi Ru, Xu Ru is not very angry.

He walked over to the group of people where the white-haired elves were standing.

"We meet again, my good boy. You look even prettier than the last time I saw you," Xu Ru said, bowing like some kind of noble gentleman. "That's fate, you say?"

Adding this genie to his ranks is sure to be a feast for the eyes. At least he didn't have to endure just looking at the grim faces of his teammates. In addition to Qin, it certainly wouldn't hurt to have one more beauty.

Luo Yan felt that the hairs on her body stood up. What's cute? What's prettier? While he really is, it's still creepy to have another man call him that. Luo Yan is the only one who can call herself that.

Himejin Yun felt the corners of his eyes twitch. He is right to this Aluca

D's impression plummeted. He walked between the two of them, making sure that he was completely blocking Luo Yan's figure behind him. So that the person doesn't stare at him.

He looked up, his gaze as cold and sharp as the sea in winter. "Do you need anything from my teammates?"

"Xu Min, look here. Oh, yes! That's it. And then reach out as if you want to touch something you can't hold," said a man in his 20s, holding a camera in his hand.

The young man he was talking to did as he was told. He reached for the camera. He stood barefoot. He wears a simple white shirt and black pants. Some of the buttons of his shirt were open, revealing a large snow-white chest. A gust of wind blew from the electric fan standing aside, blowing the young man's shirt. As a result, one can see his strong belly.

Several strands of his black hair were also blown to the side. Revealing his flawless forehead. His dark eyes were surrounded by long eyelashes. Those eyes were now filled with deep longing. It was as if he really wanted to touch something that he couldn't have or even touch. That angelic face was full of innocence, which only evoked the endless pain of those who looked at him. They couldn't help but want to protect him from any harm.

"Perfect!" The photographer exclaimed. "We got all the shots we needed. Well done, Xu Min. ”

Xu Limin breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, the photography ended. He relaxed his body and stepped out of the range of the electric fan. These shots are very tiring, very tiring. Who would have thought that someone like him, who likes to stay indoors all day, play games or read comics, would end up being a model?

His classmates from elementary school to middle school probably wouldn't have believed that someone they thought was a big nerd would appear in magazines and advertisements. No, they probably won't think it's him. After all, in those years, he was just a transparent person. His classmates may not know his name. At some point, he even wondered if he really existed. After all, his parents, those who should first confirm his worth, did not care about him at all.

It was only when he entered high school that he managed to get out of his self-isolation. That's because he's made important friends. This started after he played Arcadia, and he formed Team Celestial with those friends. Since then, the idea that he is just a worthless existence has slowly faded. Even people like him can do the right thing. Even he can inspire people.

But even so, when he had to work until after 6 p.m., Xu Li Min began to wonder why he was doing this kind of work that he was not entirely used to. Ah yes, because there's a lot of money. Because this money gives him independence. This means that he may be far away from his "good" parents.

And then it all doesn't seem so hard anymore.

"Thank you, Mr. Mu," he modestly said to the photographer.

"I hope I can still be your photographer next time."

Xu Limin only smiled. This photo was taken for the cover of a well-known magazine that caters to teenagers. A year ago, after he shot the first cover for this magazine, he took five more covers, including this one. Shoot it again, and he will be able to complete the contract for this magazine.

He said goodbye to the photographer and some of the staff around him.

As he was about to leave, he accidentally tripped over something. He thought he would be lying face down on the floor again. But that didn't happen. Instead, a strong hand grabbed his arm and pulled him back. He was about to look back when the man put a familiar pair of thick glasses on his face. Then Xu Limin's surroundings immediately became crystal clear.

The man who gave him glasses was half a head taller than him. So he needed to look up slightly to see their faces. It was a young man his age. He has a standard hair, thick eyebrows, and a firm chin. His eyes are deep and seem to hide a myriad of emotions. But his eternally sad face completely negates the beauty of those eyes.

Judging by his countenance and well-developed body, one can easily think that he is a soldier or something. Nor will they be entirely wrong.

When Xu Li Min recognized the person in front of him, he smiled helplessly. "Ah Hui, why are you here? Didn't you train today? ”

"It's over," Zhong Hui replied as she put a jacket on Xu Li Min's shoulder. Then he knelt down and put his shoes on Xu Li Min's bare feet. He didn't even pretend to be clutching another person's feet. After doing that, he stood up. "Let's go."

Xu Limin didn't have time to react yet, because Zhong Hui had already pulled him to the designated locker room.

"Hey, who's that?" One of the staff members asked, looking at the backs of the two.

The other staff she asked looked in the direction she was looking. "Ah, that's Xu Min's friend. I met Xu Min a few times during filming. ”

"He looks kind of scary."

The rest of the staff just laughed. "He may seem intimidating, but in reality he is a rather polite young man."

The two who had just entered the locker room, of course, did not hear this conversation.

Xu Limin began to change clothes. Zhong Hui on the side saw this scene and immediately turned around.

"By the way, where is my assistant?" Xu Limin asked after he finished changing his clothes.

"I sent her home. I told her I would send you back, so there was no need for her to be here. ”

Hearing this, Xu Li Min felt a little helpless again. "Ah Hui, you don't have to be like this. I know you've been busy training lately. ”

Zhong Hui didn't answer, just pulled him to a seat, and then began to remove his makeup silently. Xu Li Min did not object, because he knew that this would not change Zhong Hui's mind. Ever since they met four years ago, he'd been like this, spoiling him and treating him like a younger brother. Even though they are peers. Looking at Zhong Hui's constantly sad face, no one would have thought that he was so considerate and thoughtful.

It didn't take Zhong Hui long to finish the painting, because Xu Li Min's makeup was very light. It's understandable, because even without makeup, Xu Limin's skin is already as smooth as a boiled egg.

After that, the two walked out and began to walk towards the parking lot of the building.

When they got there and were about to walk towards Zhong Hui's car, a familiar white van suddenly stopped in front of them. The door of the van slid open, and they saw a very beautiful young woman sitting inside. Her long black hair fell behind her back like a soft waterfall. Her black eyes, which seemed to be inherently seductive, were slightly upturned at the ends. Her natural pink lips were smiling at the two men.

"Amin, Ahui," Song beckoned to the two.

"Li Li, what are you doing here?" Xu Limin asked a little puzzled.

"Don't just stand there, come in," she said.

"I'm going to take Min home," Zhong Hui said, looking at Song, as if quietly telling her, "Don't bother us, you can go."

Of course, Song saw it. But will she silently obey? Of course not. So she focused her attention on Xu Li Min. "Let's all have dinner together."

Xu Li Min became even more confused. "I thought you and Ayu were going somewhere tonight?"

He remembered that when Song told her about it, she was so happy that she even dragged him with her to buy new clothes. Although she will never admit it.

Song's beautiful face distorted for a moment with displeasure. "Don't talk about that Duan Yu bastard. I don't want to hear his name. ”



"What's going on?" Xu Limin asked, even though he already doubted the answer.

"Duan Yu attended the King's annual party," Zhong Hui was the one who answered, referring to the Acadia King NPC's birthday party event.

When Song heard this, his expression became even more annoyed.

Even Xu Li Min frowned. "I guess one of the new members should go to that event?"

Zhong Hui shrugged because he really didn't know the answer.

It turned out that the reputation got the news, saying that the three of them were coming. "That's why he's going to accept invitations from other members," Song said through gritted teeth.

Knowing this, Xu Li Ming was slightly surprised. Because Yue Yun had never participated in that event with the other members. Does that mean that even the clouds have gone?

Then Song turned to the two, almost glaring. "Do you want to eat with me?"

Min looked at Song's expression and sighed. He turned to Zhong Hui and silently told him that they should give in and go with her. Zhong Hui nodded even if she was reluctant.

So the two climbed into the van.

"Let's go," Ji Shen Yun said to Yue Yun's other four members.

"A carriage can only hold four people," Xu Ru said, then turned to the white-haired elf. "Why don't you come on a carriage ride with me, we can talk about life. Maybe before we get to the Selene Palace, I can convince you to join my party. What do you say, my sweet little elf? ”

Himejin Yun felt that if he listened to this guy's nonsense more, all the blood vessels in his forehead would burst. Luo Jin and Bai Ze also felt the same way. These three people are going to stand up and beat this guy or something. But before that, Luo Yan had already taken the lead.

"I'm sorry, but even if we're talking to our heart's content, I don't think you'll change my mind," Luo Yan said, acting as if he was sorry for not being able to agree to player Alucard's request.

"Oh? Why is that? Xu Ru asked with interest.

Luo Yan raised a hand to her chin and began to fidget. As if hesitating to tell him the truth. "You see, I'm allergic to frivolous people. This is caused by childhood trauma. I can't control it. If they talk to me for too long, I get hives. Even though it's VR, I still don't feel comfortable. He looked at Alukad, blinking at him with big, blue eyes that shimmered with golden light. Mr. Alukad won't force me, will he? ”

Xu Ru was speechless for a while. But then he suddenly remembered that video on the forum. The odds of this elf just acting are quite high. Realizing this, Xu Ru smiled. "Is that so? Then maybe you just need exposure therapy. If you spend more time with me, then maybe your allergies will be cured. That's all the more reason to join my team, right? ”

[Tch。 This guy has a thicker skin than I thought. - Luo Yan's thoughts. So his cute pathetic attack doesn't work, does it? Then he will change his strategy. They don't have time to mess around here and play word games with this guy.

He lowered his hand and smiled. "I'm sorry. I was actually lying. I just don't want to hurt your feelings. But the truth is, I prefer the cloud as my captain. So no matter how much you try to persuade me, it's useless. Because you're not my type. Oh, I'm saying you're my captain, in case you get me wrong. Also, I don't like the frivolous way you talk to me. Even though I don't really have allergies, you keep calling me "honey" and it gives me hives. So, please stop. He tilted his head and smiled sweetly. All right? ”

Luo Jin frowned slightly. Here comes the dark side of his brother.

The cloud remained expressionless. But if you look closely, you'll see that the tips of his ears and even the back of his neck are red. Because his mind is currently stuck on the part that Luo Yan said; I prefer the cloud. The rabbit liked him more than that Alucade!

"Let's pick up a wagon," Luo Yan said to the other four members of his team.

Then, the five men began to walk in the direction of the parked carriage.

Xu Ru looked at the elf's back and couldn't help laughing. What a funny guy.

Bai Ze also smiled and leaned back. "It's a good one, Xiao Yan."

Su glanced at Luo Yan. He's not as innocent as he seems, and that's good.

"That's not too much, is it?" Luo Yan asked, trying to show a confused look.

"No," Himejin Yun said without hesitation.

"Of course not. You're right," Bai Ze agreed.

Luo Jin didn't think it was too much. But I was still a little shocked to see the dark side of the second brother again.

"Then I'll be happy," Luo said with a smile.

They stopped in front of a carriage.

"But Alucard's earlier statement that the carriage could only seat four people is true. Shouldn't one or two of us go in a carriage, then? Sue asked.

"I think it's okay. I'll just let Ah Jin sit on my lap," Luo Yan said.

"What ——?"

Before Luo Jin could finish speaking, Luo Yan had already helped him up. He opened the door of the carriage in front of them and carried him in. He sat down in one of the seats and put Rojin on his lap.

Luo Jin's face immediately turned red. "Yan! What are you doing? Put me down! ”

It's so embarrassing. Although the body of this avatar resembles a child, he does not want to be treated as a child!

Himejin Yun narrowed his eyes at the dwarf sitting on the rabbit's lap. "I agree. You should put him down. ”

Hearing this, Luo Jin stopped complaining. He turned to the clouds, and when he saw him squinting at him, he suddenly felt like he couldn't move anymore. "I changed my mind. It's good for me to sit here. Then he smirked at the cold-faced bastard.

The corners of Himejin Cloud's eyes twitched. For some reason, he suddenly felt annoyed. This feeling intensified when Luo Yan hugged the dwarf tighter. He wanted to say something, but Sue had already climbed in and sat on the opposite seat. Bai Ze followed and sat beside Luo Yan. He could only suppress his worries and sit beside Sue.

When they were all inside, the door of the carriage closed automatically. Then, they heard the voices of the NPCs who had come with the carriage earlier.

"Distinguished guests, it's time to leave for the Selene Palace. "

Then they felt the carriage they were in being pulled upward. Probably by those winged horses.

Luo Yan looked out the window of the carriage. It's finally time to set off from the Black Lagoon.

Luo Yan looked out the window of the carriage. Then he saw some kind of entrance in the sky. The leading carriage walked through the gate. And then another. Their carriage was in fourth place, so soon, they also entered the entrance. Luo Yan once again felt the feeling of being sucked into a vacuum. Ah, he really doesn't like that feeling. It took a while for the feeling to disappear completely.

"Xiao Yan, we're here," he heard Bai Ze say beside him.

Luo Yan opened her eyes and looked out the window again. His eyes widened slightly when he saw something outside. It was a floating island. In its center stands a crystal palace. It looks like the palace built by Elsa from the movie Frozen. This one looks grandiose.

Different kinds of flowers bloom around the floating islands. They all come in different colors and shapes. Bring warmth to the seemingly cold palace. There is even a small stream that flows around the island. But the most striking view is the big full moon behind the floating islands. This is because the island is so high in the sky that it looks almost like it's next to the moon.

The carriage descended slowly. When it landed completely on the driveway of the palace, the first to walk out was Yun, followed by Sue and Bai Ze. The last one to go out was Luo Yan, who was still holding Luo Jin like a toy.

"Yan, you can let me down now," Luo Jin said. Let his second brother hold him like this, he was already extremely ashamed.

When Yun heard this, he immediately said, "Yes, put him down." If you continue to hold him, you may get tired. ”

Luo Jin glanced at Juan. The bastard still looks like an expressionless robot, but if you listen closely to him, you can hear the haste in his voice. It seemed that he couldn't wait for Luo Yan to put Luo Jin down. Luo Jin suddenly had the urge to let Luo Yan hug him for a while. But his pride as a man did not allow him to do so.

"Huh?" Luo Yan picked up her younger brother and rubbed Luo Jin's cheek. "But I want to hold Ah Jin longer."

Luo Jin blushed, and then pushed the second brother's face away. "Yan—let me down!"

Luo Yan pouted. "Okay." Then he reluctantly put down Luo Jin.

Seeing this, Yun was finally satisfied. Although he really didn't know what he was so happy with.

"Distinguished guest, please come with me," said the handsome NPC in the butler's uniform. Then he motioned for them to follow.

The team members who got out of the carriage followed the NPC into the palace. Before they can enter the gate, they need to show an invitation.

When it was Luo Yan's turn, he took out the invitation card from his item tag and showed it to the NPC.

The NPC browses his invitation. After confirming that the invitation was genuine, he said, "Welcome, distinguished guest. Do you have a companion? ”

"Me!" Luo Jin said immediately.

Yun Ji God walked to Luo Yan's side. "And me."

Luo Yan and Luo Jin both glanced at Juan. Luo Jin wanted to beat that guy, but after thinking about it, he said that it didn't really matter whose companion he was, because the five of them came together. So it doesn't matter in the end. Unlike him, Luo Yan didn't think much about it.

"Three distinguished guests, you can go in now," the NPC said, gesturing for them to go inside.

When Luo Yan walked in, he felt a slight vibration. It was as if a faint voltage was spreading throughout his body. Then, he felt a tingling pain in the back of his right hand. He looked down and saw the outline of a crescent moon on the back of his hand.

He turned to the others who had already entered the palace. "Do you have this too?" He asked, holding up his hand with the outline of a crescent.

"Yes," Bai Ze said as he showed him the same crescent moon.

"It may have something to do with the game that the king has prepared this year," Sue said, looking at the crescent moon on the back of her hand.

"For now, let's follow the housekeeper first," Ji Shenyun suggested.

Everyone agrees with what he said. So they went to follow the NPC. He led the team to a gate. Two NPCs in guard uniforms stand on either side of the door. When they arrived, two of the NPC's guards opened the door. When they do, the wonderful music immediately overflows.

A handsome NPC in a butler's uniform turns to them. "Ladies and gentlemen, please come in."

Some athletes entered the room. Luo Yan and others followed.

What Luo Yan saw was a huge dance hall. There is a huge floating crystal chandelier that illuminates the whole place. There is a long table on the side, filled with different kinds of dishes. There are rows of female NPCs dressed in maid costumes, and there are also male NPCs dressed in waiter costumes. On the other side, there are floating instruments playing on their own, which is the source of the music that fills the ballroom.

Luo Yan then glanced at the other team members. He counted them by the way. Including them, there are 21 players in total. For such a once-a-year event, these numbers are certainly too few.

"I thought there would be more players participating," he said.

"That's because only 10 invitations are sent out every year," Mr. Shirasawa said. "Three players can be invited to participate in one invite, so up to 30 players can participate in this event. But seeing that we are only 21 years old, some of the players may have come alone. It's like Aluca

d the same. ”

"Because there are so few invitations, most of the players who can participate in this event are from big teams," Sue added.

"Like the one who wears all-white," Mr. Bai said, pointing to a player with blond-brown hair and glasses. "He's from Team Heaven."

and an original member. Bai Ze wanted to know what such a person was doing here. He was certain that they would simply hand over the work to a lower-ranking member. But then again, Xu Ru even came himself - the captain of a fairly famous team.

Team Celestial? Luo Yan looked at the athlete in all white clothes. If he remembers correctly, that girl, Song belonged to that group. Because of the comments he saw comparing the two of them together, he couldn't help but think of some of her information.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" The butler NPC suddenly announced loudly.

The music stopped. A voice came from above. When Luo Yan raised his head, he saw that the ceiling was slowly disappearing. Then suddenly a crystal staircase appeared, connecting the open ceiling to the floor. Crystals in the shape of open lotus flowers floated down. Then a figure slowly descended.

He has silvery-white hair that looks like a few rays of moonlight. His apricot-yellow eyes were the color of the night sky. One can even see the starry Venus shining in it. He wears a costume that a monarch of a Western fantasy world would wear. It fits perfectly into his tall and thin body. He wore a gold crown with silver gems on his head.

He is the king of Arcadia.

That's what you call a grand debut.

The king slowly walked towards the only high platform. His every step is graceful and effortless. It was as if he was gliding instead of walking. Then he faces the players and opens his arms as if to welcome them.

"My dear friends, welcome to my palace," said the king with a gentle smile on his charming face.

Luo Yan saw almost all the players bow almost at the same time and said. "We are honored to be here, Your Majesty."

"Do we really need to act like a real king?" Luo Jin whispered, rather reluctantly playing the subject of obedience.

Bai Ze put his hand on Luo Jin's head and made him bow. "It's just a matter of counting. NPCs are designed to force anyone, including players and other NPC people, to show respect to him. So instead of being forced, it's better to just play like that. ”

Luo Yan frowned when she heard this. "Isn't it overkill?"

"Well, he's the king of Arcadia. He's like the boss of all bosses. He's the most powerful man here," Bai Ze said with a shrug.

"Now, before this year's entertainment begins, let's enjoy tonight's feast together," said the king. Then sit gracefully on the throne behind him.

"Do we still need to eat?" Luo Yan asked, a little unconvinced.

As he asked, the table popped up in the ballroom. The five of them sat in the nearest seat. Then the maids and waiters brought trays of food to each table.

When all the tables were filled with different dishes, the king said, "Let the feast begin."

Luo Yan picked the nearest dessert - cream pudding. Since nothing will start without them, he can eat as much as he wants.

The cloud, of course, noticed the rabbit's small movements. He remembers that when they first ate, the rabbit ate more dessert than the main course. "Do you have a sweet tooth?" He couldn't help but ask.

"Yes. But it's more likely that it's because I can't eat that many sweets in real life. If I do this, someone will definitely scold me," Luo Yan replied as she ate the pudding.

"Of course I do," Mr. Luo said, admitting without hesitation that he was "someone." "You know you have to be strict with your diet. If I don't be strict with you, I'm sure dad and brother will let you have your way. ”

"Strict diet? Isn't Xiao Yan's body okay yet? Bai Ze asked worriedly.

The same idea is shared by the cloud. Seven years in a coma, it is impossible not to have any sequelae. As evidence of Luo Yan's petite body, she is much smaller than other 18-year-olds. When he found out about Luo Yan's accident, he was filled with the same worries again.

"Hey, don't look at me like that," Luo Yan said helplessly, noticing Bai Ze and Ji Shenyun's worried gazes. "I'm totally fine. If not, then I can't play Arcadia, can I? My body is a little too weak and too short for me. But I'm sure I'll grow taller soon. After all, Dad and his brothers have grown taller. ”

Ji Shenjuan nodded. Whatever the rabbit wants, he can definitely make it happen.

On the other hand, Bai Ze could only look at his little cousin pitifully. As we all know, Luo Yan and Aunt Meihua look surprisingly similar. His aunt is a very petite lady. If we take into account that Luo Yan is a boy, then he may be up to 170 centimeters long. But one thing is for sure, he will not reach the heights of his father and brothers. No, maybe if Luo Yan worked hard, he could at least reach 175 centimeters.

I will pray for your success, Xiao Yan. – Bai Ze thought to himself.

"If you're looking to grow taller, I know some effective exercise and diet plans can help you. I can send it to you later if you want," Sue said after cutting a steak in a restrained manner.

Luo Yan immediately became interested. "Really, Sister Yu? So should we exchange WeChat IDs in the future? ”

"Absolutely."

Hearing this, Luo Jin pricked up his ears. Should he also exchange WeChat IDs? No, he doesn't have any reason. He shook his head and continued to eat.

Luo Yan finished eating the pudding. Next, he took a slice of pumpkin pie. Then he glanced at the king, who was drinking. His every movement is so graceful that he may look graceful even when he does the most mundane things.

Luo Yan stared at the king's silver-white hair like moonlight and star-filled black eyes. He looked into the king's ear. That's just a pair of normal ears, like a human's.

"Brother Ji Yun, what is the king's name and race?" He wanted to ask.

"Both are unknowns," Himejin Yun said.

"I don't know his name either. But about his race, maybe he's a god. After all, he is the strongest NPC. What could be more powerful than God? Bai Ze said.

He had actually asked Yun's uncle about it. But he refused to provide any information, that stingy man.

"So maybe he's the god of the moon? After all, most of the things here, even this imprint on the back of our hands, are related to the moon," Luo Yan commented.

"Ah, not exactly," Himegami Yun said. "My uncle has an unknown obsession with the word 'Yue'. The king is his favorite NPC, and he is even the one who programmed him. That's why almost everything associated with kings is related to the moon. ”

In fact, when his uncle found out that he was putting together his own team, he insisted on adding the word "Yue" to it. Because the cloud is too lazy to think of a name, he combines "cloud" and "moon". When his uncle later found out about it, he was reprimanded. Say why he put his name together. Ji Shenyun just let him nest the fire. Because no matter how much his uncle scolded him, he couldn't do anything more because he had already registered the team name.

In the end, his uncle so be it. Albeit reluctantly.

Yue, huh? Well, that word literally means "moon". Because Yun's uncle was obsessed with the word "moon" and the king was his favorite, many things related to the moon were placed in this castle. Wait, is the reason why his game company is named "Moonlight Media" also related to this?

Isn't that a bit too much... Weird?

On a cliff overlooking the city, a tall man is looking at the bright city lights. His usually crisp suit was now crooked. Some of the buttons on his shirt weren't even buttoned properly. His black hair, which is usually neat, is now in a mess. He didn't even wear the gold-rimmed glasses he usually wore.

Shen Yi Mu raised his head and stared at the big full moon shining in the night sky. A smile full of bitterness and sadness swept across the corners of his mouth. His dark eyes were full of pain.

"Ah Yue, happy birthday."

Once everyone has eaten, the tables around the ballroom disappear. Then the king stood up again.

"Now that we're all fed and filled, it's time to start this year's entertainment," he said. "This year's theme is different from past years. I hope you all enjoy what I have prepared. In return, you have to do everything you can to please me. He smiled gently at them. All right? ”

He snapped his fingers, and five doors of different colors appeared in front of everyone. From left to right, the colors are; Red, purple, green, yellow, and blue.

Then after that, a labyrinth appeared and took over the entire ballroom. It separates each player.

Luo Yan looked around. He can't see his teammates or any other players. He doesn't seem to be in the ballroom anymore. More like he's in a garden maze. When he was about to call the others, the king spoke again. His voice echoed throughout the place.

"Every single one of you is now isolated. I can't get you guys to talk to each other and form a plan before the game even starts. That would rob all the fun, wouldn't it? Now let's answer a question that will determine your fate tonight. ”

A screen appeared in front of Luo Yan. It reads:

If you were given a chance to go on vacation, which of the following would you visit? Please choose only one. ]

A train traveling on the sea.

Luo Yan reads the following options. There are five options that may correspond to the five doors they saw earlier. Their answers may lead them to a particular door. What's behind each door may be related to the choices listed. Prefer the first choice; A train running on the sea. No matter what door it represents, it will take the person who picks it up to the train.

"You only have 10 seconds to answer. Choose wisely," the king's voice echoed again.

Luo Yan once again examined the options available to him. He did not hesitate to choose the second. There is no particular reason. It just sounds good, better than the others. Or maybe he was just drawn to the word 'past'.

For someone like him who has been born again, he shouldn't dwell on the past. Because that's only going to affect his life now. But sometimes, he still wonders what will happen to his original body. If only it could get a decent funeral. He hoped to receive at least one.

Luo Yan searched the internet for news about the death of a T University graduate who was smashed on the head by a potted plant. But he couldn't find it. Probably because it's been seven years. Even after he graduated from a prestigious university, he was still just a poor orphan. No one will make a fuss about his death.

Maybe those of his roommates. But they all belong to ordinary families. He doubted that they would make a fuss about his death. Luo Yan shook his head. Now is not the time to think about this. Once he has a chance to return to City B, he will go and see it for himself.

After Luo Yan chose the second option, the screen in front of him disappeared. The king spoke again.

"You've made your choice now."

After the king finished speaking, Luo Yan's right hand felt a tingling sensation again. He looked down and saw that the silhouette of the crescent moon now had a color—it was blue. Then the place where he was standing suddenly glowed, and a blue arrow appeared on the ground.

"Now, follow the arrows and go to the door of your choice," the king added further.

Luo Yan walked in the direction pointed by the arrow. As he passed the arrow, another one appeared. So he followed it again. He repeats this until he reaches the blue door. Seeing this was not a surprise to Luo Yan. After all, he had expected the arrow to point to a door.

So he ended up with the blue door, didn't he?

"This year's theme is [Mystery]. Behind the door in front of you is a mystery waiting to be solved. Follow the rules given to you and discover every secret behind the mysteries. Those who succeed in doing so will receive a great reward from me. Now, my dear friends, go and entertain me! ”

The door in front of Luo Yan slowly opened. Without hesitation, he walked forward and entered the door.

He was first blinded by an extremely bright light. Then he felt like his soul was being pulled somewhere. When everything finally stabilized, Luo Yan opened her eyes. He was a little surprised to see where he was.

He was sitting in a room with a very old design. It looks a lot like the boudoir of a woman who lived in the ancient dynasties of this country. Wait, does this mean that the door was set in ancient times? So does "a town from the distant past" mean something like this?

Luo Yan tried to move, but then noticed what he was wearing. It was a red robe with delicate and beautiful embroidery. His eyebrows furrowed. Somehow, he had a very bad premonition about it. When he saw the outline of his own reflection on a bronze mirror on a nearby dresser, his hunch proved correct.

He reached for it, looking closely at his own reflection.

His hair is now back to black, combed into a delicate and complex hairstyle. He wears a beautiful flower-like wig in his hair. His face was almost the same. His big peach blossom eyes surrounded by thoughtful eyelashes, his straight nose, and his plump lips. The only difference is that he looks more feminine. Even his lips were painted bright red!

At this moment, a screen suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Dear player, your current identity is a stone lion. The number one prostitute in the red light district of Tenghou Town. ]

Luo Yan stared at these words, and he couldn't help but let out a loud curse.

"What the hell? "
