Chapter 382 - DRENCHED RABBIT
MORGANITE: [We already left Wild Land and now going to Adventure Land.]
Shen Ji Yun replied back to Su Yuqi before closing his Status Window. He and Luo Yan were now going to Wild Land. Of course, they were still riding their horses. Which only attracted another wave of attention to him because of the rabbit mascot suit he's wearing. But seriously, was it really that weird? The way these players were looking at him, it was as if they hadn't seen a rabbit mascot in their life.
"Did Sister Yuqi send a message?" Luo Yan suddenly asked.
He asked that because he saw Shen Ji Yun looking at an empty space in front of him. He was sure that it was the other's Status Window. The only reason he would look at that right now was if he was exchanging messages with Su Yuqi.
Shen Ji Yun didn't react for a moment. Was it really obvious that he was exchanging messages with Su Yuqi just now? But he still answered honestly;
���Yes. She said they just left Wild Land and is now going to Adventure Land."
"Great. Then we wouldn't bump into them even if we go to Wild Land now."
He looked at Luo Yan that whose blue eyes were now bent into crescents. Even though he couldn't see the lower half of his face, he could tell that he's laughing. He could also hear the genuine joy in his voice. Shen Ji Yun couldn't help but feel happy. How could he not? It was quite obvious by his smile and his tone of voice that Luo Yan really did want to spend his afternoon with him.
He was actually a bit concern about it at first. He was thinking that maybe Luo Yan was just forcing himself to spend the rest of the afternoon with him because it was way too obvious how much he wanted to be with him. That he probably just didn't want to hurt his feelings. But hearing such a response from him truly made him happy. And at the same time, very relieved.
"After we arrived at Wild Land, where does Yan Yan want to go first?" he asked, his obvious joy couldn't be hidden.
Luo Yan pretended to think before glancing at the big rabbit mascot riding a black horse beside him. It was really quite a comical sight. Every time he saw this image, he had the urge to just laugh. Really, this cinnamon roll was like a happy pill for him.
"How about trying the river rapids? I heard it was quite a thrilling ride."
Shen Ji Yun secretly gulped at the word 'thrilling'. As preparation for this 'date', he researched all the rides in the amusement park. So, he knew how that volcano rapid ride worked. He just hoped he wouldn't freeze again just like in the mystery coaster whenever it went down from a high point.
"Then let's do that."
After riding on their horse for a couple of minutes, they finally arrived at the Wild Land area. Luo Yan looked around the area that they just entered and he felt like he just entered the amazon jungle. There was a lush forest and a river snaking through it. And at a distance, he could see a volcano. That's where the river rapids ride was.
They quickly moved to that direction and soon arrived at their destination. Once again, they parked their horses at the designated spot.
Luo Yan looked at the volcano with waterfalls coming down from it, as well as the river rapids that were going to serve as the track for the ride. He tilted his head while staring at all of these. It certainly wasn't the same as those you could find at a water park. Because this one looked very real. That's right. It felt like he was staring at a real volcano right now. Well, not really that real. Because where could you see a volcano with water surrounding it like some kind of spiral?
He suddenly felt excited again. A virtual amusement park was truly the best. Because here, you could go to all sorts of interesting rides.
"Brother Ji Yun, let's go!" he said excitedly to Shen Ji Yun.
"Right. Let's go," Shen Ji Yun replied.
He was actually trying his best to relax his body after he saw the volcano and those river rapids. According to what he read, the ride would start at the very top of the volcano and would continue to go down until it reached the bottom. It seemed like his plan to not freeze would just be thrown out of the window.
When they entered the area, they didn't need to queue in line. An NPC told them to step on some elevated platform. And when they did, they were immediately transported to the part of the volcano where the ride would begin.
"Welcome dear guests!" a female NPC greeted them. "Is it a ride for a single person or for two people?"
"For two people," Luo Yan didn't hesitate to answer.
"Then please follow me."
The NPC led them to the starting point of the ride. There was a canoe looking boat there minus the paddles. It could seat two people based on the two very advanced-looking seats on it. The NPC gestured for them to get on the boat. And so, they did. Luo Yan sat on the front and Shen Ji Yun on the back. A seatbelt like harness appeared then.
"Please, enjoy your ride," the NPC said smiling.
After she said that, the boat started moving without them doing anything. It moved along the water rapids. As the boat went down, its speed accelerated more and more. It made Luo Yan's heart beat wildly in excitement.
The water around them splashed on his clothes and his face but he didn't care. He just raised his arms and squealed in happiness. "Woooo!!!"
Shen Ji Yun, on the back, felt the exact opposite. This was even worse than the mystery coaster. At least there, they were sitting on something stable. But because they were on the water, the whole boat was shaky. It didn��t help that the speed of the boat was getting faster and faster.
The whole thing lasted for about five minutes. Shen Ji Yun felt that that was probably the longest five minutes of his life. His rabbit suit was drenched from head to foot. He felt uncomfortable all over.
Luo Yan turned to him. "Brother Ji Yun, let's go again!"
Shen Ji Yun became speechless for a second. Seeing how happy Luo Yan was, at the end, he could only say, "… Okay."
