LUO YAN opened his eyes and found himself at the middle of the water fountain za of Space Land in Tropical Land. It was exactly 30 minutes before nine in the evening – the time when he had to meet with Shen Ji Yun. He looked around. The za was still full of couples publicly disying affection but he didn’t see any big rabbit mascot around. It seemed like Shen Ji Yun was still not here.
It’s a good thing that they decided to meet a few hours after dinner. Because if not, then Luo Jin would probably think that he would meet Shen Ji Yun again. After dinner, that younger brother of his kept him in the entertainment room of their house. He said that he wanted to watch a movie with him. But he knew that that was only the other’s excuse so he could keep his eye on him.
Even after that incident in the kitchen with their older brother, Luo Jin didn’t lose his tenacity and still watched Luo Yan like a hawk. He seemed to be certain that he would run off to the game and meet up with Shen Ji Yun again. Not that he’s wrong. But really, how could he be so sensitive when it came to Shen Ji Yun? It’s like he’s a hound dog ready to bite Shen Ji Yun at any moment.
Luo Yan sighed. He could already imagine how hard it would be for Shen Ji Yun once they did end up in a serious rtionship. Not only would he have to deal with Luo Jin’s wrath, there’s also Luo Ren to think about. In his opinion, his older brother could be much scarier than Luo Jin.
Well, if Shen Ji Yun was truly serious about him, then he surely wouldn’t mind doing his best to be epted by his brothers.
Anyway, he actually expected Eclipse to suddenly appear here. After all, a yer’s pet would automatically appear beside their master once the yer logged into the game. Maybe it was because of the ce. Tropical Land probably didn’t allow those with no tickets to enter here. Which was a bit weird if it was true. After all, Eclipse was not a yer.
Well, whatever the case, he was sure that that pet of his was probably still enjoying his little Mana bath. Hopefully, he would gain a lot from that and had his stats increased exponentially.
Then Luo Yan suddenly felt someone tapping on his shoulder, cutting off his train of thoughts. He turned around and saw the big white rabbit mascot.
"Sorry, Yan Yan. Did you wait long?" said Shen Ji Yun’s voiceing from the rabbit mascot suit.
Shen Ji Yun actually wanted to arrive here first. He didn’t expect that Luo Yan would be much faster than him. Maybe he was also as excited as he was for this ride. Thinking of that possibility made him really happy.
He caught himself and just shook his head. There’s no reason for Luo Yan to be excited. If this was another thrilling ride, then he probably would. But it’s a Ferris wheel, probably one of the slowest rides here. And besides, he was sure that the meaning of riding in it was pretty different for the both of them.
He cheered himself up. It didn’t matter. The important thing was they would ride it together. And that’s all that really mattered.
Luo Yan shook his head. "No, I just got here. Let’s go?"
Shen Ji Yun’s rabbit head bobbled as he nodded which made Luo Yan chuckled. Really, how cute.
The two of them walked towards the Ferris wheel.
"By the way, Brother Ji Yun, do you know where the Forest of Darkness is?" he thought of asking.
"Yes. I could guide us there tomorrow with no problem."
"Do you go there often?"
"From time to time. It’s a good ce to grind. Since there’s a lot of strong monsters there," Shen Ji Yun answered. "I was actually a bit surprised knowing that Lhoris has a cabin there. It would probably take a lot of time for us tob through the whole ce since its area is a bit big."
"Hmm... it would probably be good if we have some sort of item that could detect a specific race. That way, we could find Lhoris faster."
Luo Yan was worried that they would spend a lot more time than necessary looking for Lhoris. He wanted to finish this hidden task by tomorrow. He didn’t want to waste too much time on searching.
Shen Ji Yun thought of something because of what Luo Yan said. And he suddenly had an idea. But he didn’t tell it to Luo Yan because he wanted to surprise him tomorrow. It would probably help him earn some brownie points.
"Don’t worry, I’m sure we could quickly find him," he said. "Where do you want to go first tomorrow, by the way? Would you like to immediately go to the Forest of Darkness or to your vige so we could get the rewards for the ’Finnea’s Curse’ task?"
"Hmm, let’s just go to the Forest of Darkness first," Luo Yan answered. "Should we also bring Dusk with us tomorrow?"
"No, let’s not," Shen Ji Yun quickly said. "That moon elf might just run off once he sees the dragon with us."
Luo Yan stared at the big rabbit. He had a feeling that rather than that reason, the other just probably didn’t want to deal with Dusk. But he didn’t say anything and just nodded.
Soon, they arrived at the Ferris wheel. Luo Yan looked up. It was a big contraption. Probably as big as that Ferris wheel found in Country Y. The one called the London Eye.
There was a long queue. Luo Yan noticed how there were a lot of couples lining up. Well, the Ferris wheel had always been a romantic spot. He secretly nced at the rabbit mascot standing beside him. It’s probably why this guy wanted this to be theirst ride.
Just like how it went for the rest of the day, they didn’t need to line up and just walked up straight.
"Dear guests, please enjoy the ride," said a male NPC. He opened the door to one of the passenger cars and gestured for them to enter.
And the two walked inside.
