Chapter 477 - THE SITUATION OF EACH BROTHER

LUO YAN stared at the red gift box tied with a yellow ribbon that appeared in his arms.  So, did he have to unwrap this thing to know what kind of reward he actually received?

He looked around first.  All he could see was a white expanse, showing just how much bigger this island actually was.  Up in the sky, he could see some kind of floating prism building.  His older brother had mentioned yesterday that they were watching the first round of preliminary there. 

Really, how convenient.  He would also rather be there and watching everything in comfort rather than in this cold area.  Based on what the Duke of Hearts said, the players who were put into their areas would stay there until only four remained.  So, he probably wouldn't be able to leave here until that happened.

Should he just go on a killing spree so things would go faster?

Anyway, first, he should open this gift box first.  Since he basically couldn't see anything here but the snow-covered ground, it was safe to say that no one would just appear and ambush him. 

He untied the yellow ribbon and opened the box.  The moment he did, the box vanished and a map appeared in his palm.  He raised his brow.  He first wondered why the heck was he given a map of all things.  Then an idea entered his mind.  He quickly spread the map open.

It was the map of Four-Seasons Island as it was written below.  The design was like one of those treasure maps found in those old pirate movies.  But despite the old design, there one thing that was unique to it.  Red dots were sprinkled all over it.  They were so dense, he could barely see anything except those red dots.

One particular red dot was blinking on the Winter area.  He wasn't even surprised that it was blinking.  This was the game world, whatever design the game devs wanted, it's possible.  So, he just simply touched that blinking red dot to see if something would happen.  And something really did.

The Winter area suddenly magnified and it occupied the whole map.  So, now, it was no longer the map of the island but of the Winter area.  He could even see clearly the red dots scattered about.  If he would take a guess, they would probably be 278 of them.  His eyes widened a bit.  Because this map was definitely a map that showed the location of the other players. 

That blinking red dot obviously represented him and his location.  To test if he was right, he moved a few steps to the left and the blinking red dot also did the same.  It was probably designed this way so anyone who received would have the same results ni matter which area they might end up in.  Because whoever got this reward, if they saw the blinking red dot, whichever area they might be, as long as they touched that blinking dot, it would be magnified.   

Who could resist touching the blinking thing, right?

Luo Yan smiled.  What a convenient thing.  It was really unexpected that the game devs would actually give the players such a useful reward.  Did the others who receive a reward also got a map like this?  If not, then maybe something that had the same value and use.

Anyway, since he was given a map like this, maybe it's a sign.  A sign that he should go on that killing spree. 

Should he begin?

----------

Luo Jin, unlike Luo Yan, found himself on a field filled with blooming flowers.  He quickly managed to analyze his situation.  Especially after the appearance of the Duke of Hearts.

He was currently at the Spring area.  He couldn't contact Luo Yan but he could use the things in his Items Tab.  Speaking of items, he just finished checking the reward he got for the 2nd trial yesterday.

It was a map.  It didn't take long for him to analyze the function of the map.  It showed the location of the players on the island.  He hoped that Luo Yan also received the same reward.  Knowing his brother, he would surely utilize this map to the fullest. 

Well, he should also probably use it.  Because it would simply be such a waste if he didn't. 

The flower field he was on was surrounded by a forest.  And that forest was filled with a lot of red dots.  Like being surrounded by enemies.  It could make one feel extremely anxious.  But not Luo Jin.  It would take more than this to make him feel any anxiety. 

He saw three dots slowly moving towards his direction.  He put back the map in his Items Tab.  After that, he took out an item that he got as a reward one time that he and Su Yuqi cleared a dungeon. 

It was a pair of glasses called [Sniper Specs].  It could act like binoculars with a maximum range of 10 miles.  He could turn its function off and on.  If it was off, the lens appeared black.  But once he turned it on, the lens would turn transparent. 

He hardly ever used it.  Because he's not really into attacking targets that were so far off, he couldn't even see them with the naked eye.  He just couldn't receive the same amount of pleasure he did if he shot them within a close distance.  But his current situation obviously calls for him to use this.

He put the [Sniper Specs] on and turned on its function.  He then slowly took out the guns from his holsters.  The moment he turned around, with the glasses, he could perfectly see the three players who were rushing towards his location.  It was as if they were just in front of him. 

The three most likely made a pact to help one another eliminate the other players.  But even if that was true, he didn't really care how they joined forces or anything.  Because he'd make sure to eliminate them right now.

Luo Jin quickly raised both guns.  He imbued both with one of his skills.  And then he fired.
