Chapter 459 - COMFORTABLY DRINKING TEA
Chapter 459 – COMFORTABLY DRINKING TEA
LUO JIN didn't ask his brother what he was doing at the wheelhouse because he already had a guess on why. He's probably the reason why the ship managed to dodge that iceberg.
Noctis: [Did the mermaids stop singing?]
When Luo Jin read that message, he then only realized that the singing had really stopped. He turned around from where he was and saw that the fog had been lifted and he could now see everything clearly.
Because of where he was currently at, he could now see the mermaids from a distance. They were not really that far from the ship. Probably due to the sudden change of direction of the ship, it opened a bit of distance between the two. If not because of that, these mermaids would probably be swarming the capsized ship. And all of these were attributed to Luo Yan's quick thinking.
But there was another thing he noticed. It was the rock formation that some of the mermaids were sitting on. One of them were shattered like ice and another was like it was hit by a meteor or something. Then he realized that those were the directions where he shot his two guns earlier.
So, was this the reason why his brother asked him to shoot in those directions? To disturbed the mermaids singing?
He shook his head while smiling in amazement. Really, it almost felt like everything was under Luo Yan's control.
AmazingYoungMasterJin: [Yes.]
He sent, answering his brother's question earlier.
Noctis: [What's happening on the deck now?]
Seeing that question, Luo Jin looked down at the deck. It looked like the number of players who were there earlier was halved. Those were probably the players who were seduced by the mermaids' voice to jump into the sea.
He remembered earlier how he felt a gust of wind before he received his brother's message. Now that he thought about it, someone probably used their skill to disperse the fog.
Some who fell down because of the sudden swerving of the ship had already stood up. And they also saw the mermaids from the distance.
"Mermaids!"
"They're probably the source of the voice we heard ealier."
"No shit. That was obvious enough."
The mermaids from a distance all turned to the direction of the ship. Then they suddenly rushed to the ship with their eyes glowing blue eyes. One could see that they were very angry and was planning to attack the ship and the players on it.
"I don't know about you guys, but I want that reward."
Then that player rushed to face the mermaids. Hearing him mentioned rewards, most of the remaining players on the deck also attacked the mermaids. They were probably thinking that the one who killed the most would be given the reward for this trial.
Luo Jin told that to his brother.
Noctis: [Ignore them. Just go to the wheelhouse to meet me.]
Luo Jin didn't refuse. Since he was already at the highest point of the ship, which was the at the top of the main mast, he just turned to the direction of the wheelhouse. He jumped his way to that direction. Of course, if this was reality, what he's doing was just an impossible feat.
Once he arrived at the wheelhouse, he looked for the door and opened it. And he almost tripped when he saw his brother sitting comfortably and drinking tea.
"This is good tea," he heard Luo Yan tell the only NPC there.
"I'm glad you like it," the male NPC said. "Thank you again for your help."
"Please, don't mention it." Then Luo Yan turned to him. "Ah Jin, do you want tea?"
"What… exactly is happening here?" Luo Jin asked walking inside the wheelhouse.
"Oh, nothing much. Captain Roger's first mate is just thanking me for not letting the ship capsized."
"Is this the Mr. Noctis' brother? Please, you're also welcome here," the NPC said with a very welcoming smile.
Luo Jin shook his head. His second brother was probably the only one who could drink tea in this kind of situation.
"Are we not going to join those players in killing those mermaids?" he asked.
"Ah Jin, how could you ask me to kill such beautiful creatures? It would be too gory for my taste. Let's just leave it to those players. We can just relax here until the next trial arrived," Luo Yan answered while sipping tea.
"You're not worried that one of them would get the 'MVP award' for this trial?"
"Nah, even if they kill all those mermaids, we will still get that MVP award. After all, if not for my brilliant save and you disturbing the mermaids from their singing, those players wouldn't even have the chance to kill those mermaids."
So, Luo Jin gave up convincing his brother and just sat beside him to drink tea.
———-
This was the scene that Luo Ren was currently watching. He felt that in a span of 30 minutes, his emotions had been up and down. He even thought that he would have a heart attack a couple of times.
Because they were in a VIP room they could follow as many as 10 players all at the same time and the screen in front of them would be divided into the number of players they decided to follow. When his brothers decided to separate earlier, they, of course, decided to follow the two. So, everyone saw everything that the two did.
When he saw Luo Yan jumping on the roof of the entrance of the ship and then continuing to run towards the wheelhouse despite the fog, he couldn't help but worry. After all, even though the audience could see everything clearly, that was not the case for the players. What if his brother fell off the ocean?
Luo Yan didn't though. Even so, after seeing him landing badly and almost splattered on the wall of the wheelhouse, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
But now, looking at his two brothers sitting there and drinking tea, it seemed that his worry was all unfounded.
