The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

Chapter 85: LUO YAN'S ANONYMOUS POST

LUO YAN was holding his phone and reading a certain post on Arcadia's game forum. It was posted by an anonymous account. The title of it was; [For Newbie Players at Matlock Town: Beware of These Three Players]. Then directly below it were screenshots of the game avatars of Essaint, Bronzed Leaf, and Apricot. Of course, their game account names were also written below their pictures. Like some wanted poster.

[These three shameless people are tricking beginner players into joining their party to raid the Infernal Chasm dungeon. Yes! That dungeon with the final boss who has a life draining skill that could be used two times in a row once its HP fell to 1%. These shameless trio's M.O. is to look for gullible new players that don't know much about the game and let them be the bait for the final boss. After letting them be killed intentionally, the three would enjoy all the rewards by themselves. Are you wondering why they're doing this? Clue: It's for that rare invitation. I believe most of you know what I mean. So to the newbies, be careful not to be duped. But most importantly, try to have a better eye for people.]

Luo Yan looked down and smiled when he saw that the comments were already in the hundreds. He posted this topic last night after logging out from the game. When he and Luo Jin went to the Task Hall to get another task, they accidentally met Essaint and the other two. What did Luo Yan do? Of course, he waved and smiled sweetly at them.

The way Bronzed Leaf glared at him, like he wanted to hack him into pieces, he really thought that he would challenge him to a fight in the Arena. But after Essaint said something to Bronzed Leaf, surprisingly, he didn't rush forward to issue a challenge and only glared at him until they left the Task Hall.

Because Luo Yan was standing a bit far from them, he didn't hear what Essaint said that managed to stop Bronzed Leaf. He wouldn't think that it was because he became afraid of him after what he did the last time. It became quite a mystery to him. But his curiosity over it was not strong enough for him to personally investigate it.

He wasn't that surprised seeing them there. They're probably at the Task Hall to look for new victims again. Which only strengthened Luo Yan's suspicion that the three truly wanted to get that rare invitation. Since getting that information as a reward, he searched the forum for information about it. And he wasn't disappointed, he immediately got a lot of hits.

According to what he read, the King's birthday party event started after the VR version was released. During the party, the King would give a task. This task didn't involve physical strength, so even lower level players had a chance to win. Those who managed to accomplish the task would be given a rare reward. The invitation usually became available the month before the party. So a lot of players had been scrambling to get one. Because the rewards given by the King was truly worth it.

The easiest way to get one was through the Infernal Chasm dungeon. Because being the lowest level dungeon, it's definitely much easier to raid compared to the Lunar Labyrinth dungeon. And it's definitely easier than taking a task from the Duke of Hearts.

That's probably the reason why those three – Essaint, Bronzed Leaf, and Apricot – had been deceiving newbies to dungeon raid with them. But that didn't mean that their actions were justified. That's why after logging out last night, he immediately made this post. How could he just let those three do as they please?

He was satisfied that his post gathered quite a number of attention. He proceeded on reading the comments.

[Rare invitation? For the King's birthday party? They're actually deceiving newbies for that? Well, truly shameless!]

[Indeed. How could they just use beginner players as bait? What if they ended up having psychological shadows because of that?]

[These kind of players should be banned on the game!]

[Come on, don't be too hypocritical. I'm sure a lot of players do that kind of thing. It's the newbies fault for being too stupid.]

[I'm sorry, I'm one of those 'too stupid' newbies you're referring to. It's embarrassing, but me and my friend were taken in by Essaint's friendly and gentle character. Maybe we were really at fault for believing them so easily. But that didn't mean that what they did was justifiable. So for the original poster, thank you for posting this. This would truly help other beginner players to have more caution.]

[Upstairs, don't listen to that guy before. It's not your and your friend's fault this happened. It's those shameless people that's at fault.]

[Wait- I seem to recognize these three. I think they're members of that fairly new team that did well during the last season.]

[Yes! They're members of Steelstand! I think that team entered top 50 last season. Who would have thought they would have members like this?]

[You guys, I think you're missing an important point. Just how did the original poster know about the M.O. of this three?]

[How else? He'd probably been duped as well.]

The corner of Luo Yan's eye twitched when he read that last comment. This beautiful him, duped by those three? He snorted. As if that could even happen.

So he commented using his anonymous account and posted the video he took of their dungeon raid. Of course, the faces of Luo Yan and Luo Jin's game avatar were mosaicked. Being a computer science major in his last life, that's something pretty easy for him to do.

He wrote; [Who's been duped? I just know them for the black hearts that they are.]

"Xiao Yan!" called the voice of his father, interrupting what he's doing.

Luo Yan looked back and saw his father walking towards him. Luo Wei Tian was wearing a denim jacket, its sleeves pulled up to his elbows, over a white tee and black pants. He paired it with a pair of white sneakers. It should have looked weird, considering his age. Which was 51 to be exact. But for some reason, it didn't. It made him looked even more handsome. It's like he became 20 years younger.

Luo Yan already forgot the forum post. He put his phone back in the pocket of his pants and walked towards his father, immediately hugging his waist. He looked up, his big peach blossom eyes were full of admiration. "Dad looks so handsome!"

Luo Wei Tian smiled and pinched his second son's cheek. "You sweet mouth."

"But I'm only telling the truth. Dad is definitely the most handsome Dad in the world."

Luo Wei Tian could only laugh. But he was quite satisfied with his son's reaction. Looked like it was the right decision to hire a stylist to help him dress in a way that would make him look younger. "Are you ready for our date today?"

Luo Yan smiled brightly. "Yes!"
