Chapter 442 - A LITTLE TUTORIAL FOR BROTHER REN
Chapter 442 – A LITTLE TUTORIAL FOR BROTHER REN
THE three Luo brothers finally started eating breakfast. Of course, their topic was still revolving around Arcadia.
"Is Brother just planning to play casually?" Luo Yan asked.
"Yes. I'm just planning to check the dynamics of the game," Luo Ren answered.
He never really had an interest on playing video games ever since he was a kid. So, him buying this VR helmet was simply for the sake of that investment project. Besides, with his busy schedule, he would definitely not have that much time to play the game.
"By the way, can I watch that tournament the two of you are participating?" he added.
"I think you can." Luo Yan checked before on the forum about the Rookie Carnival. And it said that any players could watch the game on site regardless of the level. "But Brother, since you're a first-time player, you will be put to an Origin Village first. Then you have to finish some tasks before you can leave there."
Luo Ren frowned a bit. "It's that troublesome?"
Luo Yan chuckled. "They're beginner tasks. So, it wouldn't be that hard and might just take an hour or so at most. The preliminaries for the Rookie Carnival will begin at about 12 in the afternoon. Brother still have time to go there to watch the game."
It might not even be exactly 12 pm because that was only the time the organizers asked the participants to be in Safehaven Harbor. Although the venue of the prelims was still being kept as a secret, probably to surprise the participants and the viewers as well, it was certain that the ship in Safehaven Harbor would bring them directly to the venue. Not only that, there would also be ships that would act like some kind of public transportation for those players who wanted to watch the game on the same venue.
"Would there be available tickets though?" Luo Jin asked. He remembered hearing from some players that those who wanted to watch the prelims of the Rookie Carnival needed to buy a ticket. The same was true for the main tournament that would be held at the end of this month.
Ah, yes, Luo Yan almost forgot about that. "We could just ask Brother Ze to give Brother one. I'm sure he has an extra ticket." He turned to Luo Ren. "Brother, you can message Brother Ze once your done with your our of your Origin Village. Or you can just message me or Ah Jin and we will tell Brother Ze to meet up with you. But if there's still time, we could simply meet up with you ourselves."
Luo Ren nodded. "Will there be tutorials? I don't really want to spend more unnecessary time fumbling about because I'm not sure what I'm doing."
"Ahm, there wasn't exactly," Luo Yan said. Well, the cradle version probably have one. "But the moment you arrive at your Origin Village, a virtual screen will appear in front of you. That's your 'Status Window'. You can check every tab on that and then everything would be self-explanatory. Besides, Brother is so smart. I'm sure you can quickly get the hang of it."
"That's true," Luo Jin agreed. "It's not really hard to see which is which."
"So, I only have to wear the VR helmet and I will be taken to this Origin Village?" Luo Ren asked.
"There's some kind of introduction first where Brother will be asked what name you should use in the game, if you wanted to change your appearance, and what race you would be in the game," Luo Yan explained. "After that, Brother will appear at your chosen race's Origin Village."
Luo Ren was a bit surprised to hear that there was still a lot of things to do. He thought he only needed to wear the VR helmet and that would be it. "What kinds of races are there in the game?"
"There are four basic race – humans, elves, beastkins, and gnomes. You can choose from those four. Or you can choose the random selection option where you can have a chance to have a legendary, rare, or special race."
"I suggest that Brother just pick one of the four basic races since you're just planning to play the game casually," Luo Jin added to Luo Yan's explanation.
"I agree. Maybe Brother can choose the elven race. I think it would definitely suit you," Luo Yan said.
"What are the races of the two of you?" Luo Ren asked, curious.
"We both have special races. I'm a moon elf and Ah Jin is a chaos gnome."
After hearing what Luo Yan said, Luo Ren suddenly remembered that one time the other showed him and their father a picture of a very young Luo Jin – like seven-year-old him. His black hair had red tips, he had small pointed ears, and his eyes were the color of rubies.
He faintly remembered Luo Yan telling them that that was Luo Jin's game avatar. So, that was a… gnome?
"How come you picked a gnome?" he asked amusedly at his youngest brother.
Luo Jin pouted. "Who said I picked it?"
He actually though many times of just simply buying a new VR helmet to have a new account. But he was already used to using that gnome avatar. And besides, with that game avatar, it almost seemed like he matched with Su Yuqi's pixie avatar.
"Ah Jin chose a random selection that's why he ended up with the race he has now," Luo Yan said with a bit of teasing tone. "I personally think that his race is super adorable and it suits him quite well."
"Oh, so that's why you don't want me to use this random selection thing," Luo Ren said, turning to Luo Jin. "Is Xiao Jin worried that I will accidentally get a race that I don't like? Thank you. Xiao Jin is truly thoughtful. I can't believe you care about your brother so much."
Luo Jin's whole face turned red. "W-who cares about you?"
Luo Ren only chuckled. "By the way, how do I send a message once I'm in the game?"
"Ah Jin and I will just add you as a friend so you could send us a message anytime. My game account name is Noctis and Ah Jin's is AmazingYoungMasterJin."
Before Luo Jin could stop his second brother, the other had already said his game account name. His whole face turned red in embarrassment. Especially knowing what their eldest brother's reaction would be.
"Amazing young master… Jin?" Luo Ren repeated.
Before his brain could register that name, he had already burst out laughing.
