The whole area was buzzing with activity.
Those who spent all day holed up in their dorms playing games, furiously flaming their opponents in the Rift, were missing out on quite a feast for the eyes. They would probably be kicking themselves with regret.
Just as Jiangg Ning had predicted, the preliminary event greatly raised the students' anticipation for the New Year's Day Gala.
