Chapter 936: NO NORMAL PERSONLUO YAN and Luo Jin logged into the game after eating breakfast. When they arrived Bai Ze and Shen Ji Yun were already there together with Dusk and Rowan. Before long, Eclipse also appeared and ran to Luo Yan's side.
"Sister Yuqi is still not here?" he asked.
"She's probably still sleeping," Luo Jin said.
"Yeah, I can attest to that. That girl has a hard time waking up during the weekends," Bai Ze said. Then he suddenly turned to Luo Jin. "But how did you know that?"
Luo Yan also turned to his brother and smiled playfully. "Yeah, Ah Jin, how did you know?"
Having the two looking at him like that, Luo Jin suddenly panicked and stammered, "I- I just guess, okay?"
Of course, that's not true. He and Su Yuqi had played together for enough number of weekends that he already knew the other's habits. She was always late whenever they had an appointment during the morning. It wouldn't need a genius to know that the other had a problem waking up early.
"Hmm… nice guess," Luo Yan said. The teasing tone obviously showed that he didn't believe his brother's excuse.
"Maybe Master's brother is a psychic," Eclipse added.
Luo Yan smiled playfully. "Yeah, I think so too."
Luo Jin felt his face heating up hearing the conversation between the two. Because it was obvious that they were making fun of him. Before he could respond to 'defend' himself, Su Yuqi appeared just in time as if on cue.
"I'm not that late, right?" she asked.
"When will your alarm clock every work?" Bai Ze said.
"It works perfectly. I'm just on the habit of ignoring it," Su Yuqi said as she walked towards the group.
"Aren't we all?" Luo Yan said in agreement.
"Since everyone's here, let's go," Shen Ji Yun said.
"Finally, I thought this useless chit-chat would never end," Rowan grumbled.
Luo Yan chuckled at that. He looked at their group, thinking of the training they would do today, he was suddenly filled with excitement.
Oh, today was definitely going to be fun.

Luo Yan looked up at the huge tower in front of them. If he continued to look up and search for the top of the tower, his neck might just break because of how unbelievably tall it was. This was the first time he had seen a building this tall where the top seemed to reach the highest layer of the sky.
Well, it's definitely much easier to make something like this inside the game than in reality. So, one shouldn't really be that surprised or shocked about it. Especially since there were floating islands, sky train, and crystal castle in this game. But still, seeing the tower for the first time could leave quite a big impression on anyone.
When he looked down, he happened to see his brother's expression. Luo Jin didn't show any surprise or shock. It's the look of someone who had seen the place.
"Ah Jin, have you been here before?" he couldn't help but asked.
Luo Jin raised his head towards his brother and nodded. "I did some training here before to familiarize myself with my skills."
Since he was a total noob when he first started playing this game, he searched on the game forum on how he could quickly get used to fighting and almost everyone suggested on going to the Heaven's Spire to train. They said it's the go-to place of many newbies who were planning to play Arcadia seriously.
He went there during the first month of playing the game. He did it secretly and did not inform Luo Yan because he didn't want the other to think he was such a noob every time they played together. Which they did, at least during the early days when the both of them just started playing.
"Most newbie players who actually go to Heaven's Spire to do that," Bai Ze commented on the side. Then, as if he realized something, he turned to Luo Yan and asked, "You didn't go here?"
"Should I have?" Luo Yan asked, tilting his head.
"Why do I suddenly have a feeling of talking to an honor student who top the final exams even though he didn't make an effort to study?" Bai Ze said, looking at Luo Yan as if he's an alien from space.
"Yan has been pretty good at this game from the very beginning," Luo Jin added.
"Are you a genius?" Bai Ze asked with a fake shocked expression on his face.
"Maybe I am," Luo Yan said and then grinned. "I am the Rookie Carnival champion, after all."
"That's right, Master is a genius champion!" Eclipse quickly seconded.
Su Yuqi raised her brow. "You know, that statement is kind of annoying," she said with a little laughter in her voice.
"For once, I have to agree with Su Yuqi," Bai Ze said. "I even want to smack you a little."
Shen Ji Yun put his arm over Luo Yan's shoulders, then said, "There will be no smacking on my watch."
Luo Yan put his arm around Shen Ji Yun's waist right after. "Aww… Brother Ji Yun is really the best.
Everyone looked at the posture of the two where they both looked like they were hugging each other.
"I don't know about you guys, but this scene is kind of blaring for me," Bai Ze said, covering his eyes in an overly dramatic way. "It's like I'm going to be blinded."
"I will appreciate if the two of you don't do any public display of affection in front of us," Su Yuqi said dryly.
"I'd rather you don't do it anywhere," Luo Jin grumbled gloomily.
Eclipse suddenly stood in front of Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun and with hands on his waist, he said, "You shouldn't be in the way of Master and Captain's love affair."
All three looked at Eclipse as if the kid was talking nonsense.
On the side, Rowan spoke while looking at the group, "There is no normal person here."
Dusk had a look on his face as if he was agreeing.
Seeing all this, Luo Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
