"OF course, I haven’t forgotten the reward. I think all of you already know which person’s hands this reward will fall on to. The player – Dragnar!" Captain Roger added, definitely referring to the golden dragon. "But don’t worry, all the players who helped in defeating the kraken will be given a small trinket. It will definitely help you on the next round."
The players who helped cheered and those who chose not to do anything could only remain silent. Because they knew that voicing any dissatisfaction would only result in them being eliminated. Of course, there were still reasonable ones among those who understood that they didn’t deserve even a trinket because they didn’t do anything. But there were those who were simply brain dead that despite that, they still thought not receiving one was unfair to them.
When they thought that Captain Roger would disappear again, they saw that he was still there, looking at a distance. They all followed the direction of his gaze and saw a shadow of an island. The ship was moving towards there.
"Look, it’s the island!" shouted one.
"No shit, Sherlock," another responded.
Luo Yan turned his head towards the direction of the island. He couldn’t see any details of it since they were still a fair distance away. He wondered what they would do on that island. They still had another day left for this preliminary round. He had a feeling that after they arrived at the island, that would be the end of today and everything would resume tomorrow.
He felt like today was just set up so that the more than 2000 participants would be lessened. Which they did a very good job of considering how in the duration of this ship ride, almost half of them were eliminated. And then, tomorrow, whatever would happen on that island would continue to decrease the remaining number of participants until the only ones remaining were the players who would be at the final tournament.
That was certainly something the game devs would do.
Well, if they would go down that route, Luo Yan actually didn’t mind. After the those three ’trials’, a rest would be very welcomed.
"Don’t you think that island look weird?"
When he heard Luo Jin asking that, Luo Yan returned his gaze again towards the island. He didn’t even notice that they were already close enough to the island to see it clearly.
From where they were standing, he could see that half of it looked like it was covered in snow while the other half had trees with orange leaves as if they entered Autumn. contemporary romance
"The island probably had all four seasons in it," he said.
That was the first thing that he thought of. After all, it was named Four-Seasons Island. On the other side, there’s probably two halves showing the Summer and Spring part.
"I think so too," Luo Jin agreed. He wondered what the hell would they do in an island with four different seasons. With this game, one could never really guess accurately.
Then they suddenly heard a loud thump. They turned towards the direction of the sound and saw Captain Roger who was standing on the deck. What they heard probably was the NPC captain jumping from the highest point he was standing on earlier.
At that moment, the ship stopped near the shore of the island, just between the ’Autumn’ and ’Winter’ part.
"This is the end of our travel. Those who I promised a reward to, you will find my special gift in your Items Tab. And about that trinket, you will know what it is when the right time comes," Captain Roger said. "So, you bastards better get the hell out of my ship before I kick you all out!"
Luo Yan and Luo Jin didn’t wait and just straight jumped to the shore. They were not alone, many others also jumped to the shore.
Once everyone was there, the ship started to sail away.
Before anyone could talk or ask one another just what was happening, they heard footsteps coming from the inside of the forest. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. And then, a female NPC appeared.
She was wearing some kind of maid’s outfit. Yes, that’s right, a maid. Her design was even like that of the maids found in a maid café that was so popular in Country R. Her hair was neatly tied in a ponytail. She was even wearing a big round spectacle.
"Welcome everyone to Four-Seasons Island! Congratulations on managing to arrive here," she first started. "Now that you’re here, you will receive a note. You will find it at your Items Tab. But do not check it now. This note contains a certain code that will be important for the next round of preliminary. Which will be held tomorrow."
A lot of silent murmuring occurred. Because what they heard meant that the preliminary will continue on tomorrow.
Luo Yan was not surprise because it was already something he was expecting. He was actually more interested in checking the reward Captain Roger gave.
"Quiet please," the maid said, completely silencing the noise around. "As I’ve said, the next round will begin tomorrow. A notice will appear in front of you any second now. Please, read it carefully and follow each instruction."
Just after she said that, a screen did appear in front of everyone.
[Congratulations dear player for surviving this far. But this is not the end. You still need to pass the next round of preliminary before you can be considered as worthy to fight at the final tournament. The next round will begin tomorrow at one in the afternoon. Please, make sure to not log-in beyond that time.]
[Log out here now. Once you do, you’re not allowed to log in again until the time of the next round. If not, then the system will automatically assume that you forfeited and you will be directly kicked out of the Rookie Carnival. The moment you log in tomorrow, you will be transported automatically to your assigned area.]
[Good luck and do your best at the incoming fights!]
And that was the end of the notice.
