Chapter 460 – IT IS THOUGH
ESPECIALLY Luo Yan. Luo Ren saw how decisive he was. Not only that, he was also very quick on his thinking and judgment. Just by listening to the song that suddenly sounded in the ship, he immediately recognized that it came from mermaids and they were most likely the next trial on their journey.
He didn't hesitate to wound himself and Luo Jin just so the two of them wouldn't fall under the influence of the mermaids' voice. In just a few seconds, he already knew what he was going to do next. He went to the wheelhouse of the ship without a second thought. As if he already knew what's going to happen if the mermaids continued their singing.
Luo Yan most likely applied the common myth about mermaids that's why he the first thing he thought was to go to the wheelhouse. Luo Ren understood that choice. Because mermaids usually equaled to shipwrecks. If no one stopped the ship, then it would most likely capsize.
Just like what Luo Ren thought, an iceberg suddenly appeared and the ship was sailing straight into it. Worry filled him once again. But Luo Yan's next series of actions amazed the hell out of him.
He used the two radars near steering wheel to calculate the angle needed for their brother Luo Jin to disturb those singing mermaids. The two almost had a perfect tacit understanding. With their team work, they stopped the mermaids' singing and avoided the iceberg.
And now, while those other players were competing to kill the most number of mermaids, his two brothers were having tea.
Luo Ren suddenly wanted to laugh for no reason. Maybe he shouldn't really worry that much about Luo Yan being bullied or hurt in this game. Considering the things he had seen so far, it's probably more plausible for Luo Yan to bully others than for it to be the other way around.
He had already noticed how Luo Yan could be black-bellied sometimes. He just didn't expect that his black-bellied character was this much. He was so sassy and confident that anyone who could see him right now would think that this was a strong player.
He suddenly wanted to record this scene, show it to their father, and tell him, 'Dad, look, our Yan Yan is so amazing'.
Luo Ren was indeed surprised. But more than that, he felt proud. Even though this was just a game, it could be seen that his brother had good mental fortitude. Something that, most often than not, was more important than physical strength instead. Because sometimes, there were just some things that couldn't be conquered by physical strength alone.
"Is Yan Yan usually like this in the game?" he though of asking the others.
Bai Ze wanted to answer but this was also the first time he saw Luo Yan in 'action'. Their interaction mostly revolved on whenever they met at the team's headquarters. In terms of grinding levels, he spent more time with Luo Jin compared to Luo Yan. In fact, he had never seen the other fight in the game.
That's why he was also a bit surprised seeing how Luo Yan handled all that. But somehow, if he thought about it carefully, it shouldn't really come off as a surprise. Luo Yan had always appeared very confident. He simply gave you the feeling that with him there, anything was possible.
"Luo Yan is always brimming with confidence," Su Yuqi said, saying the thing that Bai Ze just thought. "But it doesn't really come off as arrogant because he always makes it seem like the most natural thing."
Yu Jiao followed that by nodding vigorously, showing just how much she agreed with Su Yuqi.
"Whenever we do a task together, Yan Yan was always the one who took the lead. He can easily analyze a problem and find a solution for it. He's also not afraid to try new things. He can face monster NPCs without batting an eye, showing how much courage he has," Shen Ji Yun said. Then he turned to Luo Ren, staring straight into the other's eyes. "No matter how delicate he might look, he's not some fragile porcelain that would break at the mere touch of someone. So, no one should limit him in anything he wanted to do, especially under the guise of 'protection'."
Shen Ji Yun felt the need to say that to Luo Ren. Because he knew just how overprotective Luo Yan's family was of him. If it was up to them, maybe they would rather put Luo Yan in a greenhouse and protect him all his life. Frankly speaking, he could understand that choice. Because he also wanted to protect Luo Yan all his life.
But not letting the other do anything in the name of protection would only break Luo Yan. It's like tearing off the wings of a beautiful bird that wanted to fly and putting it forever inside a golden cage. No matter how magnificent the cage was, a cage was still a cage. Sooner or later, it would eat away the will of the bird to live. And he didn't want something like that to happen to Luo Yan.
Hearing what Shen Ji Yun said, Luo Ren couldn't help but be annoyed. Although he understood what the other wanted to say to him and at some level, he also agreed to what he was saying, but because it was Shen Ji Yun who said it, he just instinctively wanted to resist it. Which he shouldn't, really. Because, as much as he hated to admit it, Shen Ji Yun was right.
But still, it wouldn't mean that he would suddenly approve of this guy.
So, he smiled his usual cold smile and said, "You shouldn't worry about that. We're Yan Yan's family and we won't do anything that may harm him. Besides, I don't think it's really any of your business, no?"
And Shen Ji Yun with his usual expressionless face responded, "It is though."
The atmosphere suddenly solidified. Before anyone could disperse the situation, they all suddenly heard the voice of the NPC – Captain Roger.
"Congratulations to the 1,678 of you bastards who survived those ferocious mermaids! This time, let's give a round of applause to players Noctis and AmazingYoungMasterJin for doing their best to prevent more casualties. You'll receive your reward after we arrived at the island. For the rest of you lot, try to work harder!"
