Chapter 934: TEAM MEETING (1)

Chapter 934: TEAM MEETING (1)"AS you all know, the preliminaries of Arcadia Cup is just around the corner," Shen Ji Yun started. "Our team has already registered and will be participating. But I believe that everyone here already knows that our team is still lacking compared to other teams in the rankings."        

Everyone nodded at that.      

Shen Ji Yun continued, "That's why I had Bai Ze  reserved a floor at Heaven's Spire. We will train there until the preliminaries started."    

Luo Yan whistled in admiration. Heaven's Spire was a tower that was solely for training. It was a new addition to the VR version of the game, so this would have been the first time that Luo Yan would be able to try it.    

He actually never had a thought of trying it before. It's because he's not really interested in training. Especially when he found out that players who went there to train didn't receive any extra EXP. The tower's only real purpose was to give training to those who avail it. Nothing more, nothing less.    

Since he didn't really feel the need to use the tower, he never thought of going there. But if they were using it for team training, then it would be the perfect place. Suddenly, he picked up something from what Shen Ji Yun just said.    

"You reserve a floor? Not just a room?" he asked to make sure that he heard it correctly.    

Shen Ji Yun nodded. "A room is only good for one to two individuals. We need a whole floor if we have to practice our battle tactics."    

"Ah, battle tactics, music to my ears," Bai Ze commented. "How long has  it been since those words came out of your mouth?"    

"Do you want an answer? Because I don't keep tabs," Shen Ji Yun said with a bit of sarcasm.    

"Oohh... sarcasm," Bai Ze said playfully.    

"Can we just get back to the real topic of our conversation?" Su Yuqi cut off.    

Shen Ji Yun cleared his throat. "Anyway, training will begin on Saturday. I'm thinking that we could make it a whole day event. Like four hours in the morning, then four hours in the afternoon. If you have prior engagements on that day, please state it quickly."    

None of the team members said that they couldn't come. It was different for one of the dragons though.      

"Do we have to be there as well?" Rowan complained.    

Bai Ze turned to the dragon sitting beside him. "Yes, you do."    

"Why?" Rowan asked, looking like he really didn't understand.      

"Because you and I made a pact. So, if I tell you to go somewhere, you should be there."    

Rowan frowned, seemingly not liking that. "Are you insinuating that I'm your slave?"    

"If you're a slave, then you must be the freest slave in the world," Bai Ze said, rolling his eyes at the dragon.      

How could this guy even think he was a slave when Bai Ze barely ordered him to do anything? He was so free that he could roam around anywhere and do whatever he wanted. Was there any slave like that?    

Really, sometimes he wondered if the game devs even made an effort to put a bit of IQ on this dragon. Why couldn't the other be as witty as Eclipse? He would even take a silent iceberg like Dusk. Instead, what he got was this... well, whatever Rowan was.      

But then again, Bai Ze couldn't really blame anyone. He was the first one to jump on the opportunity of having a pet. All because he was too dazzled by the idea. He had forgotten that the game devs love encoding different personalities for their NPCs. He just had the short end of the stick by making a contract with a pet that had this kind of annoying personality.    

Rowan's face turned red, of anger or embarrassment, one couldn't really tell. Then, he suddenly turned to Dusk. "Didn't you also make a pact with that Qilin? Does that mean that your his slave?"    

Dusk opened his eyelids and gave Rowan a chilling gaze. "Say one more thing and I'll incinerate you."    

"Hey, red lizard, calm down will you?" Eclipse suddenly interrupted. "Can't you see that Captain is talking about something important here? If you don't stop making this all about you, I'll ask pink sister here to really turn you into a lizard!" Then he turned to Su Yuqi. "You can do that, right, pink sister?"        

The suddenly named Su Yuqi laughed inwardly before looking at Rowan. "Yeah, I think I could."    

Rowan visibly shuddered at that. After that little fiasco, Rowan no longer interfered for the rest of the meeting.      

And so, the meeting continued on and ended smoothly.      

----------    

At the same time that team Yunyue was having a meeting, a lot of other teams  were also doing the same.      

One example was team Siren. Unlike Yunyue that only had five members, and three pets, team Siren had a decent amount of members. All of them, female. So, their meeting was being held in a rather large conference room that seemed like a lecture hall.      

There was a stage in front where higher-ranking members of the team would facilitate the meeting. While the rest were seats in front of the stage. One of those seated was Xia Li. She was sitting beside Zhu Jingyi.      

The meeting hadn't started yet because the team captain and vice-captain hadn't arrived yet. So, most of the members seated were gossiping with each other. Making buzzing sounds around the room.      

"Is Yunyue really participating in the next season of the Cup?"    

"That's what I heard."    

"So, there would be another strong opponent we have to face."    

"Hey, if you're going to talk about Yunyue, isn't it better to talk about YUN's confession?"    

"I know right? It's probably the most unexpected thing I've witnessed this year."    

"I wonder how the captain felt about that."    

"She looked okay, so maybe she had already moved on."    

"Would it really be that easy?"    

Xia Li glanced at the girl beside her after hearing those conversations. And as expected, Zhu Jingyi had a dark expression on her face. Xia Li would bet that the other was probably imagining skinning YUN alive right at this moment.
