The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

Chapter 47: A TALK ABOUT A CHALLENGE

A FLASH of purple light zigzagged across a number of monsters. At the end of the two lines of disintergrating monsters, a figure stood. It was an elf with extraordinarily beautiful features. His long white hair was tied in a high ponytail. His peach blossom eyes were the color of blue topaz sprinkled with golden dust. His skin was extremely white. But it's not sickly white, instead, it was full of life and vigor. His pinkish lips was raised in a playful arc.

He was wearing a light blue long sleeves with a small lace work on each cuffs. An indigo ribbon with vertical lines were tied on its collar. Over it was a sleeveless black tailcoat. Behind him, the tail of his coat reached up to just above his ankle. The inside of the coat was not black, instead it was light and dark indigo checkers. The purple trousers which were darker above and lighter below reached an inch below the knee. This outfit was completed with a pair of black knee-high boots.

This costume was called the 'Purple Flash' set. Aside from the fact that its main theme was the color 'purple', when a player wearing it moved too fast, it would give off a purple light special effect. Which would leave a purple flash whenever the player ran at a very fast speed.

Luo Yan was very satisfied with this costume. The design had the right mixture of cuteness and coolness. Not to mention, the color looked extremely good on his skin tone. It even had a special effect! How could he not be satisfied?

He happily went and kill some more monsters.

Seeing this, Luo Jin just sighed. When he first saw his second brother killing these monsters so skillfuly, his eyes almost bulged out of its sockets. He knew that his brother had to kill monsters so he could level up, but knowing it was totally different from seeing it. Looking at his cute second brother with a bright smile on his face while killing these monsters almost made him want to ask; Who am I? Where am I? What's happening right now?

Good thing when it came to his brother, Luo Jin ability to accept was stretched to the limit. So it didn't take long for him to accept the fact that Luo Yan was probably really good at this game - just like he repeatedly told himself. As someone who promised to protect him, Luo Jin couldn't fall behind. It would be too shameful, if it ended up with him being the one protected.

With that in mind, he took out a small axe from his Items Tab and began hacking the monsters near him.

Luo Yan glanced at his brother and saw him attacking and slashing at the monsters around him. There was this serious expression on his small face at first, as if concentrating hard on what he's doing. Then slowly, that expression turned into some kind of maniacal smile. Luo Yan was startled and had to stop before he tripped or something.

He didn't know that Luo Jin would look like some psycho baby when fighting. It was even scarier because he looked so cute. He was so into it, he probably didn't even realized what he looked like right now. Luo Yan grinned. [Well, look at that. It seems I don't have to worry that he won't be able to adapt to this game.]

Then he also continued his own hacking.

They were currently at a field outside Olkdale Town where monsters between level 11 to 15 were at. It's a good place to grind levels. They decided to stay here until they reached level 15, then go back to Olkdale to apply for a class. They'd probably be done here before dinner time.

The first one to reach level 15 was, of course, Luo Yan. He distributed the stat points he got and then continued killing the monsters until his brother also reached level 15.

"Are you done?" he asked, walking towards Luo Jin.

"Yeah," Luo Jin answered, distributing his stat points to his Basic Stats.

Luo Yan looked at the sky bleeding orange and red. "Should we log out? I think it's already time for dinner."

"Let's go back to town first so when we log in later, we'll appear at Olkdale."

Luo Yan had no problem with this suggestion. "Then let's go?"

Both started walking back towards the town. But before they could go further, a commotion attracted their attention.

A man wearing all black was walking on the street of Olkdale Town. The clothes he was wearing wasn't out of the ordinary. Half of his face was even covered by a mask. Normally, this type of player wouldn't gather any type of attention. But it was not the case when it came to this player. Once someone's gaze landed on him, it would take quite a while before they could look away.

It was his eyes. Those electric blue eyes. Looking at them felt like looking at the brightest sky. People just couldn't help but be attracted. But even if one wanted to get close to him, they couldn't. The cold atmosphere surrounding him was just screaming 'don't bother me'.

Shen Ji Yun didn't bother with the gazes directed at him. Probably because he was used to it and just didn't care so he didn't feel them.

It's been awhile since he last went in this beginner's town. He's here because Brother Zhao - the head programmer of Moonlight Media - asked him, no pleaded him, to asked a couple of questions to the four players who got a special race through random selection. Brother Zhao wanted him to make sure if they encountered any problems or glitches while they were in their Origin Village.

If they did, then the programming team could immediately fixed the problem. Although Brother Zhao could check the movements of the player while they were in their Origin Village, he couldn't check everything. Doing that would be equivalent to infringing the player's privacy. So he asked Shen Ji Yun to do further questioning.

He refused at first. He told Brother Zhao that he could just send some kind of questionaire to those players. But Brother Zhao reasoned out that the players might not want to answer a questionaire or they might even directly ignore it. Shen Ji Yun couldn't really refute that because if he received one, he would definitely ignore it.

He continued to refuse until Brother Zhao said that he could just one, then he would just ask other people from the programming team to ask the other three. Because of the release of the new update, most of the people from the programming team were really busy right now. So they didn't have time to conduct a survey from those players who were lucky enough to get the newly added special race. If Shen Ji Yun could asked even one of those four lucky players, then it would already lighten their load.

At the end, Shen Ji Yun still relented. He chose the player with the ID game account Noctis. Because he remembered his uncle mentioning once that this player was particularly good for a newbie. According to Brother Zhao this player was already here at Olkdale Town.

He asked for a screen shot of the player's face so he could know what he looked like, but Brother Zhao said that he didn't need that. Because once he saw him, he would immediately know that it's him. That's just how noticeable he was.

This player - Noctis - was a moon elf. If Shen Ji Yun remembered correctly, the design team designed the moon elves as having white hair and eyes that had golden specks in them. With just those characteristics, he would definitely be noticeable.

But would it really hurt to just sent a screen shot or even some kind of video? After all, Brother Zhao should know that he's not really good with faces. Unless they left an impression on him, he wouldn't even remember their faces. They would just be a blank canvas to him.

As he continued to wonder, he accidentaly heard the conversation of two passing players.

"Have you seen that white-haired elf walking around town earlier?" asked one.

"Yeah. I saw him at the General Store earlier, he was with this cute gnome," answered the other.

"Well, you see, someone challenged him to a fight at the Arena!"

"What? But that elf is definitely a newbie, right? Surely he declined?"

"No, he accepted! Should we go to the Arena and watch?"

The two bypassed Shen Ji Yun and he could no longer hear their conversation. He stopped. And then followed the two.
