[MASHTER, did you hear that? Your brother called Eclipse the cutest!]
Luo Yan heard Eclipse"s overly excited voice in his mind. [Yes, I heard.]
[He"s now my fourth favorite person.]
"Did he say something?" Luo Ren asked when he saw his brother chuckling.
"He said you"re now his fourth favorite person," Luo Yan said, repeating what Eclipse had said.
Luo Ren raised one of his brows. "Only the fourth?"
Eclipse looked tangled when he heard that, as if he was thinking if he could move Luo Ren"s position higher. And then, finally making his decision, he said in Luo Yan"s mind - [Mashter, tell your brother that Eclipse could promote him as long as he could continue being good to Eclipse.]
"He said he could promote you as long as you continue being good to him," Luo Yan said.
Luo Ren laughed when he heard that. "Your pet is not only cute but also very entertaining." The little fox appeared really happy when he heard that. "What name did you give him?"
"Eclipse. Good name, right?"
"Yes. Our Yan Yan certainly have better naming sense than Xiao Jin."
"Brother, I feel a bit insulted having my naming sense compared with Ah Jin."
"You do have a point there," Luo Ren said amusedly.
"Then, Brother, how about we test your naming sense?" Luo Yan said. "What"s your game name account?"
"Thranduil," Luo Ren answered with a bit of pride in his tone.
Thrandu- what? Although it"s not funny like Luo Jin"s, it"s definitely quite a mouthful. "Where did you get the name?"
"He"s Legolas" father from The Hobbit. I did think of using the name Legolas but it would be kind of in your face, so I just chose his father."
Luo Yan felt the corners of his mouth twitching. He was suddenly thankful that his older brother changed his mind and didn"t use "Legolas". Being an elf and then also using that name was truly a bit overboard. See, even him who was not a fan of the movie franchise and also the books still knew who Legolas was. At least this Thranduil was not as equally famous as his elven son.
"Is it a good name?" Luo Ren asked, his face obviously asking for praise.
Luo Yan also didn"t want to tease him and just said, "Yes. Truly better than Ah Jin"s."
"Anything is better than Xiao Jin"s."
Luo Yan was about to response when he heard a notification sound from his Status Window – meaning that someone sent him a private message. He saw that it was from Yu Jiao and quickly opened it.
Vulcan: [Yan Yan, what time are you and the others going to Safehaven Harbor? Can I, perhaps, go with you? If it"s not, that"s okay too.]
Luo Yan felt a bit helpless seeing the last sentence. That was very Yu Jiao. He quickly replied.
Noctis: [Of course, it"s okay. I"ll send you a special pa.s.s so you can just directly teleport to Yunyue"s headquarters. Then we can just all go Safehaven Harbor together.]
Vulcan: [This… is this okay? Won"t it be too much trouble?]
Noctis: [What trouble? You"re my friend, how could it be troublesome? Besides, you"ve already met all my team mates. You know they"re not the kind of people who would think badly of you just because you went to our headquarters with a special pa.s.s.]
After sending that reply, he also sent the special pa.s.s to Yu Jiao.
Vulcan: [Okay, I know. Thank you, Yan Yan.]
Reading that last reply, Luo Yan could imagine that Yu Jiao was probably blus.h.i.+ng in shyness right now. Hen then sent a message to Luo Jin telling him that Yu Jiao would be coming to their headquarters.
"Yan Yan?" Luo Ren called when he noticed that his brother hadn"t responded for quite a while.
"Oh, sorry. I just answered a message from Jiao Jiao," Luo Yan said. "It might seem like I was just staring into s.p.a.ce but there"s a Status Window in front of me. Brother might not know this, but a player"s Status Window is only visible to themselves."
Luo Ren didn"t care much about the last part of what Luo Yan said. His attention was all focus on the part where he mentioned Yu Jiao.
He felt a slight b.u.mp in his heart remembering the awkward tall girl with big gla.s.ses. Then he suddenly realized what Luo Yan reading a message from her meant. "She also plays the game?"
Luo Yan nodded. "She"s actually quite famous in the game. She"s considered as the number one Blacksmith in the game. It"s one of the cla.s.ses here that a player can choose."
Luo Ren was a bit surprised hearing that. Being number one in something in this game meant that one should be a hardcore gamer, right? He didn"t really take her for one.
"Does she often play this game?" he asked a bit worriedly.
Yu Jiao was already a third-year high school student. It"s the most important and busiest year on a high school student"s life. Because it was the year that they were being readied for the college entrance examination.
He knew his brothers were playing the game every night. Luo Jin might be overdoing it sometimes. But Luo Yan had never slept late. He knew that the other had always tried to sleep before nine in the evening. So, they had never worried that the game might become a bad influence on him.
But what about Yu Jiao?
Hearing his brother"s question, Luo Yan kind of had an idea on why he asked that. "I"m not really sure. But Brother should not worry. Jiao Jiao has a pretty good ranking in school. She"s very smart. It wouldn"t be hard for her to get admitted to a top university. Besides, I think Jiao Jiao had no problem managing her time appropriately."
Luo Ren nodded, thinking that his brother had a good point.
"Why did she sent you a message?" he just thought of asking.
"She was asking if she could go together with us to Safehaven Harbor. I said yes. We"ll meet her once we arrived at the team"s headquarters."
Then, Luo Yan suddenly remembered Yu Jiao"s avatar. He glanced sideways at Luo Ren. Well, his brother would definitely be in a surprise once he saw Yu Jiao. He decided not to spoil the surprise for him.
Luo Ren stopped when he heard that they were going to meet Yu Jiao. He looked at his brother"s fancy clothes and then down at his overly normal clothing.
"Yan Yan, can you accompany me to buy some new clothes first?" he asked with a smile.
Luo Yan turned to his brother and he already had an idea on why the other suddenly asked that. A knowing smile appeared on his lips. "Of course."
