Chapter 354 IT REALLY WAS A DATE

"WHEN did you buy the ticket?" Luo Yan asked.

Shen Ji Yun looked sideways. "Just yesterday."

He was obviously lying, Luo Yan could immediately tell. But if he had to lie about that, wouldn’t that mean that he bought the tickets much earlier? He didn’t really think there’s a reason for him to lie about that. But he probably thought that he’d think that it was weird of him to buy tickets that early. Although Luo Yan did find it weird, he wouldn’t get angry just because of it.

He just decided not to pierce through Shen Ji Yun’s lie and said, "Wow. Brother Ji Yun is so prepared. Now we don’t have to line up and can just go inside immediately."

Shen Ji Yun smiled a bit proudly. He did indeed lie. He actually bought the tickets last week, the day after they went to the moon elves’ village. Yes, he was that excited. He couldn’t just admit that to Luo Yan or his rabbit might quickly know about his small calculations.

"Let’s go inside."

The two walked towards the entrance where a male NPC was standing.

"May I see your tickets, please?"

Shen Ji Yun took out two tickets from his Items Tab and gave it to the male NPC. "For two."

The NPC checked the tickets. "I received two VIP tickets. Can the two guests stretch out their right hand, please?"

Shen Ji Yun first stretched out his hand first. The NPC put a golden bracelet on his wrist. Luo Yan did the same and a golden bracelet was also put on his wrist.

"The two guests only need to show these bracelets to the Tropical Land’s employees and you can directly ride and enter our different attractions without buying any tickets. If you want to eat anything, you can also just show these bracelets and there’s no need to pay for it."

Luo Yan raised one of his brows when he heard what the NPC said. When he mentioned ’VIP tickets’, it already attracted his attention. So, was those things he mentioned the perks of having a VIP ticket? And the golden bracelet was the proof of having a VIP ticket. If that was the case, then the tickets Shen Ji Yun bought must be extremely expensive. But was there really a need for them to use a VIP ticket? After all, they’re only here to look for that moon elf.

His thoughts came back again to his guess that the other was thinking of this as a ’date’. Once again, a helpless smile appeared on his face when he thought of that possibility.

He decided to just focused his attention on the amus.e.m.e.nt park ahead. There’s actually nothing there, only a small empty plot of land. He read from a forum post that this here was just a gateway to the amus.e.m.e.nt park. It was actually located to a different location that was inaccessible unless you go through this place here in Alryne City.

"Please, go ahead and enter," the male NPC said to them, gesturing for them to go in.

Shen Ji Yun glanced back at him and Luo Yan nodded, silently telling him that he’s ready. Shen Ji Yun walked first and Luo Yan quickly followed.

The moment he stepped over the entrance line, Luo Yan felt that familiar feeling of being sucked into a vacuum. A sign that he was being teleported somewhere. A second later, he suddenly heard a very energetic and happy tune. Hearing it could already make anyone be in a good mood. When he opened his eyes, he was bombarded by colors.

He could see some rides in the distance, some NPCs wearing colorful costumes, buildings with playful designs, stalls selling different food – anyone who entered this place would definitely have the kid in them giddy with excitement.

Shen Ji Yun turned to Luo Yan. Seeing the amazement and joy in the other’s eyes, he also couldn’t help but feel happy. He was truly thankful that that moon elf was working here. Because of that, he had a chance to see that expression on his rabbit’s face. He hoped that before they leave here, he could see more of that expression on Luo Yan.

"Should we go and look for that moon elf?" Luo Yan asked, looking at Shen Ji Yun.

Shen Ji Yun nodded. "We could inquire at their main office if they have a moon elf employee."

"Good idea. That way we don’t have to search blindly," Luo Yan agreed. That way, they also didn’t have to waste too much time on searching. "Should we look for the whole map of the amus.e.m.e.nt park?"

"Yan Yan, if we find that moon elf and we finish what we came here to do faster, could we... ahm, could we go and visit some of the amus.e.m.e.nt park’s famous rides and attractions?"

Luo Yan stopped and stared at Shen Ji Yun. The other looked extremely nervous, he could even see him fidgeting. A sign that he was trying to hide his anxiousness. He was probably worried that he would say ’no’.

But how could he do that? Especially when Shen Ji Yun had that kind of expression on his face. He looked so pitiful, like a little puppy with his ears down. If he said ’no’, he was afraid that he might even cry.

The longer he remained silent, the more agitated Shen Ji Yun looked. At the end, to relieve him from further torture, Luo Yan said, "Okay."

Shen Ji Yun’s expression completely brightened. If he was indeed a puppy, then his ears would be perked up by now and his tail would definitely be wagging happily. With that, Luo Yan could basically confirm that this guy was really thinking of their little excursion to this place as some kind of ’date’. But he had no intention of revealing the other’s little abacus. In truth, if he just asked if head on, he would probably agree with no qualms whatsoever.

"I already have the map of the whole Tropical Land. Let’s go directly to the main office," Shen Ji Yun said, his voice couldn’t hide his excitement.

Luo Yan almost laughed because of that. Then, as they walked, he suddenly remembered something.

Wouldn’t they suppose to go back to the moon elves’ village to get their reward for the ’Finnea’s Curse’ task before going here?
