Let alone Luo Nan, even Papercut, who considered himself an etiquette teacher and a rescue expert, felt a bit dizzy when he saw the group of kids charge in. "Why are there so many people?"
He began to consider whether or not he should flee at the last minute. However, his feet had just moved when Xue Lei grabbed him. "Brother Papercut, you must go. Look at Nanster's face."
That was why Mr. Macho hated muscular dogs the most!
Papercut struggled to no avail and could only accept his fate. He shook his head and said, "Then entertain them first. Don't take it too seriously. Hey, it's time to get up and greet them! "
Actually, Luo Nan knew to stand up and wave to Mo Peng and the others without needing him to say anything. A group of people moved over noisily. The leader, Mo Peng, was bewildered with excitement. "Don't delay any longer. Let's set off immediately. Let's go to Frost River Reality. Wasteland Winter!"
Luo Nan was still mulling over how to greet people, so he shut his mouth. However, Mo Peng wouldn't let him off that easily. He draped an arm over Luo Nan's shoulder: "Those who haven't seen him before should recognize him. This is my little brother, Luo Nan. He was a traitor of Sixth High School who had abandoned the light for the dark side and ran towards Acumen College. Today is his journey to atone for his sins. He will bear all the expenses! "
This saved him the trouble of introducing himself …
Luo Nan took a deep breath. He was faced with nearly ten pairs of eyes staring at him. He wasn't nervous at all, but he really didn't know how to take care of everything. He hadn't been able to clearly see everyone's faces up until now.
He only saw Mo Han behind Mo Peng, and then … his train of thought went astray.
Above the table, the Condensation Ring was still in effect. No one noticed the floating water droplets, but it wasn't good to leave them there for too long. Luo Nan was worried that he would give himself away, so he used his interference power to shatter the water bead and the Condensation Ring. However, the inspiration that had just emerged faded away.
Seeing that Luo Nan's reaction was half a beat too slow, Mo Han gave Mo Peng a sneak peek. She blamed Mo Peng for being too unreliable with his words.
Papercut was unwilling to pass on this responsibility. He came out to assist. "We have a lot of people. Let's not block the road here. Let's go inside first, and then we can slowly talk."
Luo Nan finally revealed a smile: "Right. Let's go to the room."
The more people there were, the livelier it was. There were many details, and no one cared about a few flaws. The group of pawns moved on to Frost River Reality. The AR guide who welcomed them was a boorish uncle in a tavern.
"Come on, explorers. Change your equipment before the adventure. Do you have a fixed equipment room? "
Luo Nan called out to his good luck. He was also grateful for Papercut's reminder. He turned his gaze and locked gazes with Papercut. Then he said, "Number 156."
"Yes, Mr. Luo. I wish you and your companions a good harvest."
There were nine people on Mo Peng's side and three on Luo Nan's side. A total of twelve people followed the guided tunnel and entered the room. Everyone was a frequent customer. After entering the private room, they stood in the scanning area to measure and synchronize the data.
As a girl, Mo Han was meticulous in the end. She seized the opportunity to pull Luo Nan over and said with a smile, "Let's take this opportunity to introduce each other."
Coincidentally, a young man and woman of short stature walked up to the scanning area side by side. She pointed at a rather cute round-faced girl. "My best friend, Ruan Zihui, and her partner, Tong Hui. Together, they formed the 'Gray-Gray Group'."
"Smelly Pomegranate, you're finished!" The round-faced girl, Ruan Zihui, made a gun gesture with her finger and shot Mo Han through the air.
Her boyfriend, Tong Hui, was a lively person. He immediately leaned to the side and pressed his back against Ruan Zihui. His fingers formed a gun and he struck a pose under the glow of the scanning area.
At least half of the people in the room hissed at him. His girlfriend elbowed him back. The two laughed and laughed as they walked out. The atmosphere in the private room became more and more relaxed.
Luo Nan relaxed a bit in his mind. If the people who came were all likeable, then things would be much easier.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he saw a tall girl walk into the scanning area. She wore a black and white cashmere sweater and a pair of skinny jeans. Her figure was very good, especially the lines of her legs, which were especially straight. The visual effect was top-notch. She had a pretty face and a faint smile. She was a bit reserved.
Luo Nan gave her a couple of glances and Mo Han reminded him in a low voice, "Don't get any bad ideas. She already has a master."
"I know."
Luo Nan felt wronged. He wasn't blind. Before the girl entered the scanning area, she had handed the jacket on her arm to the beautiful blonde man next to her. The Western bloodline was very clear. It was obvious that the two were not related by blood. They could only be boyfriend and girlfriend.
Mo Han raised her voice and giggled, "Yue Qin, our beauty queen. She has already accepted Mr. Turner's pursuit. They are currently in the stage of getting familiar with each other."
"Hurry up if you want to poach her."
Someone screeched. Yue Qin pretended not to hear and walked straight out of the scanning area. As for the gentlemanly Turner, he smiled and waved his fist at the person who had just shouted after returning Yue Qin's jacket.
"Hey, Luo Biyao?" Only now did Luo Nan see the person who had just shouted. Unexpectedly, there was a familiar face.
The short but well-proportioned and agile Luo Biyao was a quirky brown-haired youth. He was one of the few classmates Luo Nan had some friendship with at Sixth High. He was also Mo Peng's best friend.
Aside from him, everyone else seemed to be in Mo Han's circle.
Luo Nan felt that this was quite interesting. This gathering was proposed by Mo Peng. What was going on with this scene? He turned his head and asked, "Were you suppressed today? There's no one here for you! "
"We agreed on a get-together. How can you share your resources with others!"
Mo Peng boasted to the skies, but his face fell in the blink of an eye. "Fine. Little Pomegranate's mouth is too fast. I'm afraid that I'll go crazy and the entire Mo Family will know by the next day …. But I never imagined that you would actually dare to bring out the Tall and Fat Combo to deal with me!"
He was gnashing his teeth a bit as he spoke to this point.
Then he changed the topic and laughed mischievously, "But tonight, I'll be keeping an eye on Little Pomegranate. Let's see what this girl wants to do!"
Mo Peng's meaning was very clear. Luo Nan was a bit shocked. "She has a master?"
Right now there was only one man and one woman left in Mo Peng's party of nine that Luo Nan did not recognize. The others either knew each other thoroughly or were paired up. Then there was only...
"Yue Zheng. He's Yue Qin's older brother. He's two years older than us. I heard that he seems to be interested in Pomegranate, but Pomegranate's intentions are still unclear. "
Luo Nan's gaze shifted over. He saw that Yue Zheng was of medium build. His genes were probably powerful. He and his sister, Yue Qin, were one handsome and one beautiful. They were both very pleasing to the eye, and they appeared more mature than their age.
It was hard for Luo Nan to imagine the scene of Yue Zheng pairing up with the lively and straightforward Mo Han.
Luo Nan put this matter aside for the time being and asked Mo Peng, "There's still one more..."
"She's prepared for you."
Luo Nan burst into sweat. "Prepared for me what?"
"The remaining single girl. She's gentle and quiet. She's a good person, right? Her name is Qiu Peipei. She's a good match for you. "
The remaining girl was just as Mo Peng said. She was gentle and delicate. She looked very pleasing to the eye... But wasn't this a bad match?
Mo Peng curled his lips and glared at Mo Han. Mo Han didn't know what the two brothers were talking about, but she didn't hesitate to give them the middle finger.
"You should go ask Mo Han. I was quite interested at first, but Sister Pomegranate said something like, 'Don't have any crooked thoughts. It's not your turn!' Luo Biyao and I are the same kind of trash. He's even worse than me. Then isn't it clear who she's prepared for? "
Luo Nan was speechless. He felt more and more that he couldn't keep up with Mo Peng and Mo Han's train of thought. He could only retreat in defeat. Another call came through. It was from Tian Si.
"Senior, you guys came?"
"Sorry, Tian Qi and I just arrived …."
"You're not late. We just came in as well. Senior, you guys just need to go to room 156."
Mo Peng's ears perked up when he heard the word 'senior'. He even moved closer. Luo Nan pushed his head away, but Mo Peng had a face full of saliva. He stuck close to Luo Nan, "Senior? Nanster, I knew you wouldn't be so extreme. How could you just use the tall and fat combination to fool me? So you had a backup plan ….
Then do you know that the tall and fat combination has the most sensitive ears in the entire room?
Luo Nan shot a glance in the direction of Xue Lei and Papercut. Papercut pinched his rather large stomach. He had a conflicted expression.
Fang Shi smiled, but Luo Nan inexplicably felt that something was wrong. His gaze spun around the room, but he didn't know where the problem lay.
Mo Peng asked him, "How many more people are coming? Are they all little sisters? Big sister? "
"You two …. Oh no!" Luo Nan finally knew where the problem lay.
The medium-sized rooms of Frost River Reality were actually the standard of changing rooms. Every person was allocated a suitcase that was arranged in a ring. Aside from storing clothes, the most important thing was to use the system to switch to the most suitable equipment for Frost River Reality based on each person's scan. Everyone matched up with each other.
However, the medium-sized rooms were made for twelve people. It just so happened that Tian Si and Luo Nan didn't have a corresponding suitcase when they arrived. This was Luo Nan's mistake. He didn't pay attention to the configuration of the medium-sized room at all.
There was a knock on the door just as he was thinking about how to remedy the situation. Someone in the room thought that it was a waiter and called out, "Come in."
The door opened, and the room went silent for a moment.
Tian Si smiled as she walked into the room. She was a bit shocked to see so many people in the room, but there were even more people who were rendered speechless by her arrival.
Tian Si was dressed very simply today. She took off her coarse coat and hung it in the crook of her arm. She wore a loose white turtleneck sweater paired with black trousers. She also wore heels of the same color.
Her hair was tied into a fluffy ponytail, and a lock of hair slanted across her forehead. She wore light makeup, a classic combination of black and white. She had a bit of experience, but she wasn't deeply immersed in the secular world.
Tian Si gave the little sisters in the room an excellent early demonstration of what a beautiful woman should look like in the prime of her youth.
Tian Si accurately found Luo Nan's position among the group of people. She sent him a gentle smile, and then she spoke in a perfectly surprised tone, "I didn't expect there to be so many people. I'm late. Everyone, please don't take offense."
She lowered her posture, and her smile was the most amiable. Even though she spoke empty polite words, it gave people a great impression of her.
Luo Nan, Xue Lei, and Papercut could be considered acquaintances, but the eyes of the other men in the room lit up. They completely ignored Tian Qi, who followed behind them.
Mo Peng exclaimed in surprise the moment Tian Si entered the room, "Wow, Nanster, you really put in the capital. But why do I feel that she looks familiar? Oh, that Tian, Tian …. "
"Senior Sister Tian Si."
"Last time we were at Frost River Reality …." Mo Peng was too embarrassed to finish speaking, but Luo Nan had already nodded lightly.
Mo Peng's mouth gaped open, and Mo Han came over from the other side. "Nanster, you invited her? I don't think she and Brother Qiu San got together. How are you going to greet her later? "
There were too many whispers. Luo Nan was afraid that he would leave people hanging, so he raised his voice. "Yes, Senior Sister Tian has taken good care of me at school. I took advantage of this opportunity to invite her out to play. Tian Qi also went last time. Everyone should be familiar with her. "
Tian Si took advantage of Luo Nan's introduction to greet her little brother once more. "This is our first time meeting. Please take care of me."
Her gaze flew to Luo Nan after she spoke.
"I think I know why Brother Qiu San didn't get together."
Mo Peng didn't keep his mouth shut, so Luo Nan gave him a shove.
Tian Si walked over to Luo Nan at this time. Tian Qi followed behind her with a strange expression on his face.
The atmosphere in the room could not be hidden from others. At this moment, the gap between them could be seen. Tian Qi's thoughts were all on his face, like a bulldog's. On the other hand, when Tian Si was invited, she was inevitably embarrassed, but when it came to it, she hid all her negative emotions very well, making people feel comfortable.
She apologized to Luo Nan once more. "I'm sorry. I can't get away from the society for a while."
"No, no. Didn't I tell you? We just changed our equipment …." Luo Nan responded without thinking, but he thought of the trouble he just discovered. He didn't know what to say next. Now he was the one in an awkward situation.
However, Luo Nan was open-minded. He had to admit to his mistakes. There was nothing to hide. He scratched his head. "Senior Sister Tian, you and Senior Tian Qi wait a moment. I didn't count the number of people when I booked the room."
To the side, Papercut was simply drunk. It was forgivable to book the room wrongly, and it wasn't a problem to admit to one's mistake. But this fucking blunt and straightforward method. Was it for the sake of showing everyone the history of this otaku cancer?
He first slapped the call service button on the wall. His slightly plump body nimbly rushed forward and poked Luo Nan, interrupting him. "Nanster, me, Xue Lei, and that …. Mo Peng, you guys share a suitcase. Let two of them go first. I've already called for a human service. We can scan the equipment directly. It'll be very fast. "
Tian Si had seen Papercut at Ocean Sky Cloud City before. His build was easy to recognize. She knew that this was Luo Nan's friend. It was very likely that he was someone with extraordinary powers. Naturally, she wouldn't slight him. She immediately pursed her lips into a smile. "This kind of situation happens often. There's no need to go through the trouble …."
Papercut bowed. "It's only natural to serve a beauty."
As he spoke, he turned to glare at Luo Nan. His meaning was: Kid, learn!
It was just as Papercut said. There would always be people willing to serve a beauty. Adding Tian Qi to the mix wasn't a big deal.
Mo Peng greeted Tian Qi in a very familiar manner.
Tian Qi was very cooperative. "There's no need to go through the trouble. Big Peng and I can share a suitcase."
The two of them were quite familiar with each other. It turned out that the seventh son of the Mo Family, Mo Cheng, and Tian Qi got along quite well in the field of e-sports. They had even met Mo Peng a few times. Everyone was familiar with each other, but the more they knew this, the more they didn't understand how Tian Si and Luo Nan, who had never interacted with each other before, could be this familiar with each other. Tian Si and Luo Nan had come over despite the awkwardness.
This subtle layer of relationship was like a little bug, drilling into the tips of their hearts and making them itch.
Luo Nan was just about to introduce Tian Si and her brother to the others …. Ah, it seemed that Papercut and Xue Lei hadn't really mentioned them before. The scene was too chaotic.
Suddenly, someone spoke up and circled back to the previous topic. "Let's switch rooms."
Once these words were spoken, most people turned their gazes in a daze. They found the source of the voice.
Yue Zheng.
This person had a calm expression as he faced the focused gazes. "I bumped into a fellow on the road just now. He's in the middle level here. He specifically told me that if I want to be a bit more spacious, I can upgrade the cabin. Right now, the luxury room in area A just so happens to be empty. "
He smiled brilliantly as he spoke. His gaze streaked past Luo Nan and stopped on Tian Si's face. "I feel that it's better to meet new friends in an open and bright environment. Everyone will have more fun."
It was also at this time that Luo Nan heard Mo Peng squeeze out a sound from his throat. "Holy crap!"
