The Return of the God Level Assassin

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 Ze commented.

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 glad 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 player 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 his lap. The other was watching the screen intently. Shen Ji Yun rubbed Eclipse’s head.

[Don’t worry, your master will definitely succeed.] – 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?" contemporary romance

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 player would feel here couldn’t be compared to reality, it could still leave some psychological shadow.

Seeing the dark expression of his older cousin as if black 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 players. But it wouldn’t really bring harm to their brain or something."

Su Yuqi glanced 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 the last 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 players. 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 similar 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-class weapons that could help them in fighting!"

Luo Ren glanced down at the handsome ’young man’. Yu Jiao’s sharp eyes were like strongly telling him, ’please, believe me!’. His anger suddenly deflated 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 successfully 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 anger completely dissipates.

The ship finally stopped swaying. Although the players inside could still hear the splattering of rain, they could no longer hear the howling of the wind and the booming thunder. But even though almost all players 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.

"Congratulations 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 Island. So, the 1,816 of you remaining, continue to work hard! Oh, and let’s give a round of applause to player Razor for showing me such a good show. You’ll get a reward once we arrived at the island."

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 that last part he said about that reward thing.

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

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