INSIDE the VIP room where team Yunyue was – well, half of the team, two others, and a small fox – everyone’s attention was focused on the huge virtual screen in front of them. They were following the progress of two participants in the Rookie Carnival. Of course, who could the two be other than Luo Yan and Luo Jin.


    "It’s a good thing that Xiao Yan and Xiao Jin had presence of mind to run inside the ship before the storm began," Bai Zemented.


    Shen Ji Yun couldn’t agree more. When he saw the change in weather, he knew that something was about to happen. Luo Yan was standing on the deck. If something indeed happened, considering how they were in the open sea, his rabbit would definitely be one of the most affected.


    That’s why when he saw him running inside the ship with the little gnome, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. But he knew things were barely even starting. He was sure that Luo Yan would face a lot more dangerous situation before the ship reach its destination. He just hoped that he could safely get passed all of that.


    He was just d that the game made it so that those who bought tickets to watch the prelims were able to not only see clearly the things that were happening around the yer they were following, they could also hear everything. It’s almost like watching a movie. It’s different from those watching the live broadcast who could only see things in god’s perspective.


    At least with this, he could follow along Luo Yan in some form. Even though he couldn’t directly help him and could only watch him, that’s better than not even knowing what was happening to him.


    He looked down at the little fox sitting on hisp. The other was watching the screen intently. Shen Ji Yun rubbed Eclipse’s head.


    [Don’t worry, your master will definitely seed.] – he said, even though he knew that the fox couldn’t hear him.


    "The arrival of this storm, did it signal the beginning of the preliminary?" Luo Ren asked with a gloomy expression. "Was it normal not to announce it and just proceed on putting them in this kind of situation?"


    What would happen if his brothers didn’t have the presence of mind to rush inside the ship? Would they be thrown into the sea? What if they were struck by lightning? Although he knew that this was just a holographic world and that the pain the yer would feel here couldn’t bepared to reality, it could still leave some psychological shadow.


    Seeing the dark expression of his older cousin as if ck ink would drip from his face at any second, Bai Ze quickly said, "Brother Ren, don’t be angry. The game just loves to pit yers. But it wouldn’t really bring harm to their brain or something."


    Su Yuqi nced sideways at Bai Ze. This idiot. Did he really think that would calm his cousin? Look, Luo Ren’s expression became even darker.


    "Doing a surprise event like this is just normal. After all, there are too many participants. The game had to lessen their numbers. So, expect that this storm will not be thest obstacle they need to face. In fact, I have a feeling that this one was already the easiest," she said.


    Luo Ren wasn’t appeased hearing that. In fact, he became even more worried.


    "M-Mr. Luo, d-don’t worry. Yan Yan and Luo Jin are both good yers. Nothing will happen to them," Yu Jiao said when she saw that Luo Ren seemed to be a bit angry.


    Because of that, she suddenly remembered what Luo Yan whispered to him before he and Luo Jin separated from them.


    [If my older brother ever gets angry at some point during the preliminary, I hope Jiao Jiao could help him calm down.]


    Those were Luo Yan’s exact words. Although she couldn’t understand why he asked her of that, she still didn’t refuse.


    So, now, seeing Luo Ren’s expression that was almost simr to a volcano on the verge of exploding, she knew that she had to make good of her promise to Luo Yan. She felt that what she said earlier was not enough. So, she added;


    "I’m the one who made Yan Yan and Luo Jin’s weapons. I guarantee Mr. Luo that their top-ss weapons that could help them in fighting!"


    Luo Ren nced down at the handsome ’young man’. Yu Jiao’s sharp eyes were like strongly telling him, ’please, believe me!’. His anger suddenly deted for no reason. Especially after hearing her call him ’Mr. Luo’ once again. His anger simply turned into helplessness.


    "I see. That’s good then," he could only say.


    When Yu Jiao saw that she sessfully prevented the other from being angry, she couldn’t help but feel happy. A smile even crossed her lips.


    This smile was perfectly captured by Luo Ren. And his angerpletely dissipates.


    The ship finally stopped swaying. Although the yers inside could still hear the sttering of rain, they could no longer hear the howling of the wind and the booming thunder. But even though almost all yers inside guessed that the storm finally passed, no one moved and suggested to open the door.


    That was until they heard the voice of Captain Roger echoing around the whole ship.


    "Congrattions on surviving the storm, you little bastards! Sadly, for those who didn’t manage to survive, they already lost the qualification to go to Four-Seasons Ind. So, the 1,816 of you remaining, continue to work hard! Oh, and let’s give a round of apuse to yer Razor for showing me such a good show. You’ll get a reward once we arrived at the ind."


    When the voice disappeared, everyone finally came back to their senses. The people guarding the door went ahead and opened it. They walked out to see if Captain Roger was on that spot where he first appeared. So that they could ask him some questions. Especially about thatst part he said about that reward thing.


    To those yers who walked to the deck, they were surprised to see one person standing there.


    It was a male yer wearing a ck hooded, long trench coat. The hood covered his hair. The lower half of his face was covered with a ck mask. The only thing that could be seen was his pair of electric indigo eyes.
