Chapter 720 - SOME WOLF- NO, A DOG
AFTER the quarterfinals, there would be a two-hour break before the semi-finals resumed. The quarter-finals didn't take more than an hour. So, even after the two-hour break, they wouldn't go over the time limit one could stay inside the game. That's why Luo Yan suggested that they passed the time at Yuexing Pavilion.
He wanted to drop by – he hadn't really been in the pavilion much for the past two weeks because he'd been busy doing the hidden task and also grinding to level up. So, he left everything to the NPC manager. And he also wanted to show his father and older brother the place, that's why he suggested it.
Everyone agreed. But not all of them could come. Bai Ze said he saw a friend and was planning to talk to them. He said he would be back during the semi-finals. He looked extremely excited for some reason.
Su Yuqi also wasn't able to accompany them. She had to log out because some famous calligrapher would visit their house and she had to be there. But just like Bai Ze, she said that she would be there during the semi-finals.
This made Luo Jin frown rather fiercely. Luo Yan knew that his younger brother was simply trying not to show his disappointment. But because he was trying so hard, he ended up looking like a bitter gourd.
At the end, they were left with the Luo family, Yu Jiao, Eclipse, and Shen Ji Yun.
It was two o'clock in the afternoon, so, it's not business hours. The only ones inside the pavilion right now were the NPCs.
Luo Wei Tian looked at the beautiful building in front of him with its ancient architecture. The design was no less from Yunyue's headquarters he had been in. No, in fact, this one looked more detailed. With the lake in front of it, this place would definitely look more magnificent during the night.
"So, this building belonged to our Xiao Yan?" he asked.
He remembered that Luo Yan had mentioned this 'business' to him and Luo Ren about a month ago. Since then, there was money being transferred to Luo Yan's bank account every day. And it was not a small amount of money too.
He was suspicious about this at first. Worried that someone might be scamming his son or something. After all, it was about Luo Yan. He had to check it no matter what. So, he asked his secretary to do some research. The report that came back surprised him.
According to the report, there were a lot of young people playing Arcadia who earned money through it. The usual way was establishing a business inside the game. The money they earned from it was not paper money but real money. Because of this system, it helped a lot of kids who needed money not only for their education but also for their living expenses. There were even some who became breadwinners of their family.
Although Luo Wei Tian was not familiar with how Arcadia worked, with the explanation he read on the report, he simply compared it to young people having their own world where they could play games and even earn at the same time. Now, that he also entered Arcadia, it seemed that his understanding was not so different.
"Yes, Dad. It's called Yuexing Pavilion," Luo Yan answered. "What do you think? It's beautiful, right?"
"It's very beautiful," Luo Wei Tian said, agreeing to his son. "Did Xiao Yan design this?"
"No, I'm not that talented," Luo Yan said, chuckling. "The one who designed it was probably one of the game devs."
"Actually, it's my Uncle and the head of the programming department of Moonlight Media," Shen Ji Yun interjected. "They designed this together."
The head he was talking about was Brother Zhao. From what he remembered, they designed it three-four years ago? He wasn't really sure. What he remembered was his uncle jokingly said that he designed the pavilion with the love of his life in mind.
It was a passing comment that Shen Ji Yun didn't really put into heart. But after that serious talk he had with his uncle, he suddenly remembered that comment and understood that the other was referring to Uncle Yue. No wonder the name of Yuexing Pavilion had the character of 'moon' in it.
Luo Wei Tian glanced at Shen Ji Yun and nodded. This Shen Yi Mu was indeed very talented.
Luo Yan also looked at Shen Ji Yun, wondering why he hadn't heard this story before. Then, he shrugged. He didn't ask about it so there's really no reason for Shen Ji Yun to say it.
But not long afterwards, he suddenly received a private message from someone. He opened his Message Tab and saw that it was from Shen Ji Yun. He raised one of his brows and read it.
YUN: [I only just remembered it not long ago. That's why I haven't mentioned it to you before.]
Reading this, Luo Yan couldn't help but laugh inside. He didn't expect that the other would notice his questioning gaze. He lifted his head and looked at Shen Ji Yun's direction again. The other was actually standing a few steps away from him. In fact, if his father and older brother were not standing so close to him, Shen Ji Yun might have already walked to his side.
He smiled at the other and mouthed, 'it's okay'.
Shen Ji Yun smiled when he saw this.
There was also someone who saw this little action between the two. Luo Ren narrowed his eyes. He wanted to move forward and block this kid from smiling at his younger brother. But he stopped himself because of the promise he made to Luo Yan. That he would only observe and not interfere with the progress of the relationship of the two.
He glanced at his unsuspecting father who was busy admiring the architecture of the pavilion. He wanted to call the other and tell him that his baby son was about to be kidnapped by some wolf- no, a dog would probably be more appropriate.. But he could only sigh at the end.
