Chapter 839: IT'S A MIRACLE
“SO, since Brother Ze first thought that I was the detective, was it because you think I’m a drama queen?” Luo Yan asked with a smile.
Bai Ze felt a cold sweat down his back when he saw his cousin’s smile. He felt like if he said ‘yes’, Luo Yan would actually beat him up. “No, no, I’m just saying that you’re acting is too good that’s why I thought you’re the detective.”
“In terms of difficult roles, wasn’t Sofia’s role much harder to play?” Su Yuqi said. “Since Luo Yan is a much better actor than Shen Ji Yun, we shouldn’t be too surprised that between the two Luo Yan was the one who played ‘Sofia’,” she added, giving Shen Ji Yun and Luo Yan a meaningful glance.
This time, Luo Yan’s smile was no longer ‘threatening’ as Bai Ze put it. “Sister Yuqi is right.”
Just based on that glance, it could be seen that the other most likely knew that he was really the detective and Shen Ji Yun was the real Sofia. But decided to not say anything about it.
He secretly glanced at Shen Ji Yun. The other’s body stiffened up again when he saw Su Yuqi’s glance. Shen Ji Yun probably knew that the other would tease him about it from now on. Knowing him, he would definitely not try to be alone with Su Yuqi until the other could forget about this.
But could she do?
Shen Ji Yun cleared his throat. “Let’s go back to the headquarters,” he said before Bai Ze could say anything more detrimental.
The others nodded. And they all used a scroll to teleport out of the Thousand World Fantasia dungeon.
At the same time, a site-wide announcement shocked the players that were currently online.
[Congratulations to team Yunyue for being the first team to clear the new dungeon – Thousand World Fantasia!]
This brought countless discussion from other players.
“Wait- so fast?! Isn’t this dungeon only released today? How come they already cleared it?”
“It seemed that Yunyue is really making a comeback.”
“How come you say so?”
“First, their new members were the champion and runner-up in this year’s Rookie Carnival. Now, they cleared this new dungeon that was only released for what, two hours ago? I’m pretty sure this is Yunyue’s way of saying to everyone that their back on the game.”
“But isn’t this too unscientific? How can they find the location of the dungeon without any information beforehand?”
“Wasn’t there that rumor before?”
“What rumor?”
“That the captain of Yunyun – YUN – is actually related to the head honcho of Moonlight Media. I don’t know, maybe they gave clues to him or something. That’s why his team could find and clear this new dungeon so fast.”
“Hey, that’s really possible.”
“But isn’t that a bit unfair? I thought Moonlight Media doesn’t play favorites. Now, they’re even giving a hand to one team?”
“That rumor was never proven, you know? So, don’t spread false information like this.”
“She’s right, you know? Besides, with YUN’s ability, do you really think that he still needed the help of the game devs to discover this new dungeon?”
“Heh. It looks like we have Yunyue fans in our midst. Don’t let your biased opinion affect your judgement.”
“In my opinion, you people are the ones being judgmental.”
Conversations along the same line were happening all around Arcadia. Of course, this also involved the headquarters of different teams. Some sneered, some worried, and some were excited by the future possibilities.
But no matter what the people’s reaction were, the team involved was not affected at all. And even if they knew everyone’s reaction, they wouldn’t really care that much.
———-
When Luo Yan opened his eyes, they were already in front of their team’s headquarters. He was a bit surprised that Eclipse didn’t suddenly appear. He was a bit unused not seeing a furball hurling itself towards him. Although that furball was too big to be called a furball now.
He tried to contact the other via telepathy and that’s when he remembered that Eclipse had gone to the kitsune village. Because of the difference in time inside the Magnolia Manor world and the game itself, he had almost forgotten about that and subconsciously thought that Eclipse had already returned.
The five of them entered their headquarters and went straight to the main hall. They sat down around the round table.
“Let’s check our reward,” Bai Ze said, immediately opening his Items Tab.
Luo Yan did so as well. What he saw was a red magnolia flower. He clicked it and checked its detail.
[Magnolia Fire Bomb – a bomb that could release powerful fire that could affect an enemy target within 10-meter radius.]
He raised one of his brows upon reading this. So, was this reward related to the explosion that happened to Magnolia Manor? Well, he guessed it would be much weirder to have a reward not related to what happened there.
“Did everyone get a magnolia flower?” he asked, just to make sure that everyone got the same thing.
The four nodded at his question.
“This will be very helpful during a team battle,” Luo Yan said. “And since we have five, it could help us in a number of battles. Especially if we used it smartly enough.”
“Its appearance also doesn’t look like a bomb. Which can lower the defense of our opponents,” Luo Jin added.
“Yeah, this is definitely a good reward. It’s good that our efforts were not in vain,” Bai Ze said. “Speaking of team battles, we can now register our team for Arcadia Cup. Should we do it now? Then also get our additional reward at the Record Hall?”
“Let’s split up. Yan Yan and Bai Ze will go with me to register for Arcadia Cup while Luo Jin and Su Yuqi can get the reward from the Record Hall,” Shen Ji Yun said.
Luo Jin narrowed his eyes at the other. It’s a miracle that this guy actually didn’t suggest that he should be alone with his brother.
