The Return Of The God Level Assassin (WN) C.1073 NEW ANNOUNCEMENTApr 14, 2024

1073 NEW ANNOUNCEMENT f(r)eewebn(o)vel.com

THE closing ceremony was once again held in Lunaris Vale. But this time, it was not held inside a hall. Instead, it was held in the castle's courtyard like some kind of garden party.

In the garden, 16 tables were neatly arranged, with an elevated landscape resembling a stage at the front. The night sky provided clear visibility of the moon, casting a gentle glow over the scene. The flowers, resembling frozen crystals, added a touch of elegance. Soft light emanated from small floating orbs, resembling fireflies, creating a subtle and enchanting ambiance. The combination of simple elegance, moonlit charm, and the soft glow of floating lights transformed the garden into a captivating venue for the event.

There were only 16 tables because only the teams who would participate in the final tournament were here, unlike during the opening ceremony. The four tables at the front were occupied by the top four of last year's Arcadia Cup. The six tables in the middle were reserved for those teams that were first in their respective brackets. While the last six tables in the last row were the teams who places second.

Team Yunyue was sitting on the table right in the middle of the second row. A table could occupy up to 10 people. And since Yunyue only had five members, not including the three pets, their table looked much emptier compared to the rest. Especially since Eclipse, Dusk, and Rowan decided not to go with them.

Initially, Eclipse was supposed to go with them. But then, when he heard that Luo Yan wouldn't be performing like he did during the opening ceremony, he chose to stay with the two dragons.

Luo Yan just shook his head when he remembered that. It's like the kid wasn't clinging to him when he logged in earlier. Ha... kids really do grow up fast.

The closing ceremony hadn't started yet. But food was already served on the table. Although the garden looked cold because of the frozen flowers, the temperature here was just right. Those flowers were just for aesthetic after all.

Luo Yan poured himself wine and drank it. The velvety and fruity taste spread in his mouth. Ah, virtual reality was truly wonderful. Here, he could drink alcohol without worry of getting drunk.

With how overprotective his family was, he would probably only be able to drink alcohol once he's in college. Even then, Shen Ji Yun would definitely be there to make sure he wouldn't get drunk. Or at least, be there at his side when he did. free novelkiss.com

He picked a piece of strawberry and dipped it in chocolate before taking a bite. As he just bit into the strawberry, he noticed that Shen Ji Yun was staring at him. Or rather, staring at his lips.

Seeing as how the other's Adam's apple moved as he stared, a playful smile crossed Luo Yan's lips. He put his hand on Shen Ji Yun's thigh, making the other's body stiffened.

Because of his action, Shen Ji Yun finally lifted his head. When their gazes met, Luo Yan purposely licked the strawberry he's eating, then mouthed, 'Pervert'.

Shen Ji Yun could feel his whole face heating up. If this was reality, another part of his body was probably already reacting improperly right now. He instinctively wanted to stand up and go somewhere cold to calm himself down. But he stopped in the middle because of Luo Yan's hand on his thigh, which made him almost fell on his chair.

Luo Yan couldn't help but laughed out loud at the other's reaction. Really, there's no dull moment when he's with Shen Ji Yun.

A rather loud sound of someone clearing their throat called their attention. The two both turned their head towards the seat opposite. There, Bai Ze was looking at them with daggers in his eyes. As if silently saying, 'have you two already forgotten what we discussed earlier?'.

"Do the two of you really want to get caught?" Bai Ze said, reminding them that this whole thing was being broadcasted live.

Before Luo Yan or Shen Ji Yun could respond, the floating lights surrounding the garden suddenly dimmed.

With only the light coming from the huge moon above, they saw the orbs with dim lights gathered around the area surrounding the stage. And when all the floating orbs brightened, a figure appeared at the center of the stage.

It was a man wearing a black suit and silver-rimmed glasses. The CEO of Moonlight Media, Shen Yi Mu.

This came as a surprise for most of the players here. Because the one they were expecting was the Duke of Spades - the NPC who would host this year's Arcadia Cup. Instead, the one who appeared was the CEO of Moonlight Media. Those with quick wits immediately understood that there might be another announcement, just like in the opening ceremony.

"First of all, good evening to all the great players here," Shen Yi Mu started. "I want to congratulate all of you for reaching the top 16 and being the last set of teams to participate in this final tournament."

A perfunctory applause was heard.

"As you already know, servers outside of the country will open soon. To prepare for that and to show the world just how great Arcadia is, what better stage would there be than the final tournament of Arcadia Cup?

"The testing phase for our new servers has successfully concluded. VR helmets will also be available for sale globally starting next week. Looking ahead, we plan to roll out the new servers progressively over the next month, ensuring a smooth and optimized launch experience.

"As a token of appreciation, 100 lucky players from each newly established server will be selected at random to witness the final tournament live in our country's dedicated server. That's not all—Moonlight Media has collaborated with a world renowned streaming platform to broadcast the tournament worldwide. In light of these developments, the schedule for the final tournament has been adjusted.

"It will now be rescheduled in the third week of June."

This announcement not only surprised the players there but also those watching the live broadcast. But Shen Yi Mu's next statement surprised them even further.
