Chapter 939: TRAINING (II)

"SINCE this is the first time the four of us would play together, we should stick to the basics to get a feel of each other's skills and abilities," Shen Ji Yun suggested. "This is just training. It doesn't matter whether we win or lose. What's important is we get used to each other."

Even though he and Su Yuqi had fought together during the first season of Arcadia Cup, that was almost five years ago. Since then, they had never fought together again. That's mostly because Shen Ji Yun preferred dungeon raiding and even doing tasks on his own. So, the rapport that they had during that one Arcadia Cup was probably already gone by now.

He didn't even want to start with Luo Jin and Dusk.

Yes, they had been doing dungeon raids lately. But the way they did it was just them literally killing every monsters in their way. There was no sort of strategy involved. It was simply brute force. Which wouldn't work at the Arcadia Cup.

Thus, this training.

"Yuqi will protect the crystal, Luo Jin will do the supporting, while Dusk and I attack the enemy camp," Shen Ji Yun added to finish what he first said.

Luo Jin almost rolled his eyes at such a boring response. "You do know that my brother would definitely not go easy on us, right? If we just think of this as nothing but 'training', our asses would be handed to us before we could even understand what was happening."

Shen Ji Yun fell silent hearing that. The other did have a point. Knowing Luo Yan, he would definitely do his best to beat them. So, just like Luo Jin said, if they just went with the flow and only did the bare minimum, it would only end up with them losing pathetically.

"Hey, Shen Ji Yun, you're not planning to give them an easy victory just because of Luo Yan, right?" Su Yuqi suddenly asked with a raised brow.

"Of course not," Shen Ji Yun quickly said.

Although he tried to look affronted by the suggestion, it did not show on his face because of his frozen face muscles that barely moved. But just like he said, he wasn't planning to go easy on the other team just because Luo Yan was there. It didn't even cross his mind. Because he knew that his rabbit would be offended if he even so much as think of it.

Instead of being moved, Luo Yan would just feel insulted. Then, what would happen to Shen Ji Yun after that? If they were married, he would definitely not be allowed inside the bedroom for a month. And that's just Luo Yan being generous.

So, no, he would rather beat the other using all his strength than to let him win.

"Good. Because I have no plans on losing," Su Yuqi said.

Luo Jin gave Su Yuqi an admiring glance. This. This should be the attitude of someone who was about to go into 'battle'.

"I'm with Yuqi on this," he said.

Su Yuqi glanced at him and smiled with approval. "It's good to be competitive."

Luo Jin scratched his cheek with a shy look on his face after hearing what Su Yuqi said as if it was some kind of compliment. "It's not hard to be when Yuqi is leading by example."

Su Yuqi seemed to be surprise hearing that at first. Then she chuckled and pinched Luo Jin's cheek. "Aren't you just adorable?"

And Luo Jin's face just turned red.

Looking at the two 'children' doing whatever it was they were doing, Shen Ji Yun felt like his eyes was being stung by something. For some reason, he felt like the two were doing some kind of 'performance' while he and Dusk were the chosen 'audience'.

Was this actually how people who didn't want to see him and Luo Yan show their affection for each other felt? Because Shen Ji Yun now kind of get it. And wow. It's actually kind of annoying.

He cleared his throat to get the attention of the two.

"If you have any suggestions as to how we will proceed, I'm all ears," he said.

"Let the dragon do the defense. I'm sure the other team would also do the same," Su Yuqi said. "Let's utilize mine and Ah Jin's long range attacks. We will target the enemy dragon. Shen Ji Yun should concentrate on eliminating Luo Yan and Bai Ze. I think that would be enough."

"That's an amazing strategy," Luo Jin agreed, his eyes shining brightly. Then, he suddenly turned to Shen Ji Yun. His gaze clearly saying;

'How come you didn't think of that? Aren't you the Captain? Shame on you.'

Shen Ji Yun resisted the urge to smack the other. He had to keep reminding himself that this annoying gnome was currently his teammate. Not to mention, Luo Yan's younger brother.

"Then, let's go with that," he finally said.

After they polished their strategy a bit more, the time given to each team to have a meeting finally came to an end. Then the white walls surrounding them started to change.

In the Arcadia Cup's tower defense game, opposing teams were given different environments to compete with. It's not just in tower defense, but also in battle arena and wargame as well. They would fight in different kinds of environment. It could be a dessert or a forest or even a city. It all depended on what the system would give them.

Even though this was only training, they still had to adhere to that.

Shen Ji Yun picked the 'random' option when he was setting up the field they would train. 'Random' was usually how it was done in the Cup. It's better to get used to it now. That's why he picked that.

After a few seconds, the floor completely changed into a lush forest. The view of the other team disappeared and all he could see were trees. Shen Ji Yun looked back and saw a shining blue crystal behind them.

This practice battle was finally starting.
