Chapter 896: CAN BE CHILDISH AND UNREASONABLE
SHEN JI YUN nodded in response to Li Xu Min's rather enthusiastic greeting. "Thank you."
Normally he would just nod and not say anything but he could see that the other truly meant what he said. Not responding to someone's sincerity would just be too rude. Most importantly, he didn't want to look like a person who ignored other people's sincerity in front of Luo Yan.
But the little rabbit beside him didn't take that all too well. Because he also knew that Shen Ji Yun would just nod at best in response to such a praise. But the other didn't do that and even said 'thank you'.
The crease on his forehead became even deeper.
On the other hand, Li Xu Min's expression became even brighter. To the point that he's visibly shining. "I should be the one saying 'thank you'. Just conversing with you like this already made me so happy. By the way--"
Luo Yan stepped in front of Shen Ji Yun and interrupted whatever Li Xu Min was about to say, "Can I ask you something? If you don't mind, that is."
Li Xu Min was a bit startled by the sudden interruption. But he didn't mind and definitely didn't think much of it. So, he just smiled and said, "Of course, what is it?"
Luo Yan actually just said what he said because he wanted to interrupt whatever 'moment' Shen Ji Yun and Li Xu Min was having. Now that he had to genuinely ask a question when he didn't actually have one, what else could he do but blurt out the first thing that came out of his mind.
"How did all of the main members of team Celestials end up as Angels? You even have angel-related game names. Did the five of you somehow meet each other and decided to form a team because all of you are Angels?"
Although he thought of that question at the very last minute, it was something that truly baffled him. Because seriously, how could there be such a coincidence in the world? What's the chances that someone used an angel-related game name and then happened to end up as Angels after choosing the random option while making the avatar?
It would be even more miraculous if the five main members of team Celestials were friends beforehand. Because that meant they planned to use angel-related names. It's unbelievable to think that just because of that, they also ended up as Angels.
If that's how the game system worked, then everyone who wanted to get an Angel as their race would do the same.
So, how did team Celestials do it?
An awkward smile appeared on Li Xu Min's face. He didn't know how to answer it because even he didn't know how it happened. The five of them – the founders of team Celestials – were all friends since high school.
As he said to YUN, he started to want to play the game after watching the finals of the first Arcadia Cup with was more than five years ago when he was still in high school. He wanted to play the game but couldn't because he couldn't afford the VR helmet. Then his four friends gifted him one on his birthday.
Li Xu Min could still remember that. He actually was hesitant to accept such an expensive gift. But after knowing that the four actually worked part-time so they could buy him the VR helmet, he couldn't refuse.
His friends could all easily buy VR helmets just by asking money from their parents. But instead of doing that, they earned the money themselves. Showing how sincere they were. So, how could he bring himself to refuse such a gift?
He was the first one to play Arcadia and by chance, he got the Angel race after choosing the random option. His four friends followed. And then, they also happened too end up as Angels.
Li Xu Min didn't really think much of it. But after hearing Noctis' question, why did it feel like some hocus-pocus happened that's why all of them got the Angel race?
As he was having trouble thinking of an answer, Duan Yu took the helm and answered it himself;
"Let's just say fate was on our side," Duan Yu said with a meaningful smile.
Luo Yan raised his brow. Well, whatever. He wasn't really interested in the answer. He just wanted to stop Li Xu Min from smiling at Shen Ji Yun. Now that he had already accomplished that, he's not planning to question them any further.
"Good for you, then," he said with an equally fake smile. "Since we're already done here, I think it's time for Brother YUN and I to leave."
After one last smile, he pulled Shen Ji Yun close to him and then quickly use a teleportation scroll.
Before anyone could react, the two were already gone.
"I haven't challenged YUN yet for a PvP fight," Li Xu Min said, full of reluctance and disappointment.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll meet them at the next season of Arcadia Cup," Duan Yu said with certainty.
---------
Luo Yan teleported them at Shen Ji Yun's personal floating island. Before the other could speak, he turned to him.
"Brother Ji Yun, what do you think of team Celestials' captain?" he asked with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
Shen Ji Yun, who was suddenly asked, felt a chill down his back. It's like his instinct was telling him that if he gave the wrong answer, he would regret it. But because his mind just blanked out, he simply said the first thing that he thought of;
"I- I don't have any opinion."
Luo Yan seemed to be satisfied with that answer. But then, after a few seconds, the other suddenly burst out laughing.
"I'm sorry. I just realized that I can be childish and unreasonable sometimes too," he said. He pinched Shen Ji Yun's cheek. "Did you know that I was very jealous just now?"
