The Return Of The God Level Assassin

WHILE the two were talking about the land in front, Luo Jin suddenly received a message. He opened his private chat and saw that it was from Su Yuqi. He unconsciously opened it without much thought, like some kind of instinctual movement.

Morganite: [Are you free right now?]

AmazingYoungMasterJin: [Why?]

Luo Jin stared at his game name and felt extremely mortified. Once again, he lamented why the hell did he chose this group of garbled words as his game name. just look at Su Yuqiʼs game name and compared it to his. Itʼs like one was thought of by a smart a.d.u.l.t and the other was by an immature child. Hopefully, Su Yuqi wasnʼt laughing at his stupid game name.

Morganite: [I have a task that needs two players to do it. If youʼre not busy, want to do the task with me?]

Luo Jin suddenly felt tangled. His fingers were itching to answer ʼokayʼ, but he also didnʼt really want to leave Luo Yan with Shen Ji Yun.

”Ah Jin, what do you think?” Luo Yan then asked. When he didnʼt receive an answer, he glanced back and saw that his brother seemed to be looking at something that was not there. He knew that look, Luo Jinʼs Status Window was probably currently open. ”Ah Jin?”

Luo Jin seemed to only hear his brotherʼs call. ”What?”

”Is everything okay?” Luo Yan asked.

”Ah, Su Yuqi sent me a message, asking me if I could do a task with her.”

Luo Yan was slightly surprised by Luo Jinʼs answer. It looked like his brotherʼs relationship with Su Yuqi was pretty good. But now that he thought about it carefully, it wasnʼt really that surprising. Their relationship probably deepened during the birthday event of the King of Arcadia.

”Are you going then?”

Before Luo Jin could answer Luo Yanʼs question, Shen Ji Yun suddenly spoke.

”Yuqi doesnʼt often ask someone to do a task with him. She must be in a bind right now.”

Hearing what Shen Ji Yun said, Luo Jin had already made his decision. But he still had a bit of hesitation.

”Itʼs okay, Ah Jin. You can go. Weʼre almost done here anyway. It would be bad if Sister Yuqi get into trouble,” Luo Yan said.

Thinking of the possibility of Su Yuqi being in trouble, Luo Jinʼs last bit of hesitation finally disappeared. He immediately replied to Su Yuqi.

AmazingYoungMasterJin: [Okay. Iʼll go to you. Where are you now?]

Morganite: [Come to Blooming Plains.]

Her reply was also quick which meant that sheʼd been waiting for Luo Jinʼs reply.

He looked at his second brother. ”Iʼll go now. Send me a message if thereʼs any problem.”

Before he used a teleportation scroll, he didnʼt forget to glare at Shen Ji Yun. Then his small figure completely vanished.

Finally, the gnome was gone. That was Shen Ji Yunʼs only thought when Luo Jin left. He then stopped. He suddenly felt like his mind was slowly becoming polluted. Just when did he become scheming?

”Should we go over there and check?” he just asked instead.

”Okay,” Luo Yan didnʼt hesitate to say.

They jumped down from their horses and walked towards the lake. To go to the plot of land to the other side, they needed to cross the lake first. There were a couple of NPCs that would provide boating services to any players who wished to go boating on the lake or just simply go to the other side of it. They hired one and crossed it.

Once there, Luo Yan looked around. The more he looked, the more satisfied he was.

”Brother Ji Yun, this plot of land is perfect.” Luo Yan could already picture his pavilion surrounded with different flowers and with a beautiful lake in front. Then heʼd provide a boating service that would bring his customers here. ”But will there be other players wanting to buy it?”

Just by the virtue of its location alone, there would surely be a lot of players lining up to get a piece of this land.

”You donʼt have to worry about that. As Iʼve said, the fact that players could buy this land hasnʼt been announced yet. For now, only us know about it.”

It seemed like this was one of the perks of being the nephew of the game companyʼs president – to have early access to game information.

”I suddenly feel lucky being Brother Ji Yunʼs team mate,” he said. ”Without Brother Ji Yun, I wouldnʼt be able to find such a good location.” He walked in front of Shen Ji Yun and smiled. ”Thank you.”

Again, seeing the rabbitʼs eyes bent into crescents, Shen Ji Yun had an urge to pull the mask covering the lower half of his face. This time, before he could think properly, his hand already moved. And before he realized what he was doing, he had already pulled the mask. What appeared was Luo Yanʼs startled expression.

”I- ah- sorry,” he could only say.

Luo Yan tilted his head to the side, curious and confused at the same time. ”Is Brother Ji Yun playing a prank on me?”

”No,” Shen Ji Yun immediately said. Looking down at Luo Yanʼs pretty face, he decided to just come clean. ”I wanted to see you smile.”

Luo Yan suddenly didnʼt know what to say after he heard that. Especially after he saw Shen Ji Yunʼs ear tips turning a blushing red. For some reason, he suddenly felt embarrassed. Even that weird beating of his heart was there again.

He turned around and pulled up the cover on his face. ”Letʼs go and return to the city center.”

The two went straight to the center of the city where Arcadia Real Estate was. Itʼs the place that players should go to if they wanted to buy a land in the game and get a deed for it. Each of the four cities of Arcadia had an office like that.

The building was a bit modest. Almost like one of those simple government offices. When they entered, Luo Yan noticed that there werenʼt many players around. Not really that surprising.

They walked straight to the receptionist.

”Good morning! What can I do for you?” the NPC receptionist greeted.

”Iʼm here to buy a piece of land,” Luo Yan answered.

”Then please go to one of the empty rooms on the second floor. If it has a green light above, then itʼs empty. Someone would come and assist you.”

”Okay, thank you.” Luo Yan turned to Shen Ji Yun. ”Letʼs go, Brother Ji Yun.”

His embarrassment for what happened earlier already subsided. If it didnʼt, he probably wouldnʼt be able to act normal around Shen Ji Yun.

Shen Ji Yun nodded and they both climbed the stairs up to the second floor. Luo Yan picked an empty room and went inside. It didnʼt take long before an NPC entered the room. It was a male NPC who looked like a salesman. He sat in front of them.

”May I ask the location of the land youʼre trying to purchase?” the NPC jovially asked.

”Itʼs here in Goldencrest City, up North at the recreational garden. The land by the lake,” Luo Yan answered.

”Oh, that one. Youʼre really lucky. That land just got on sale today. Are you going to lease it or buy it in whole?”

”Iʼll buy it,” Luo Yan didnʼt hesitate to say.

”Great!” The NPC waved his hand and a parchment appeared in front of Luo Yan. ”Please, sign at the bottom and the deed of the land will be yours. But first, please pay 50,000 crystal coins.”

Luo Yan felt like he just misheard something. ”Are you sure the land is only 50,000 crystal coins?”

With the size and location of that land, he expected it to be much more expensive.

”Yes, Iʼm very sure,” the NPC said.

”If he said it is, then it must be,” Shen Ji Yun said.

But he was still not satisfied with the prize given by the NPC. He told Brother Zhao to put a discount on the land. He was expecting like 10,000 crystal coins. No, thatʼs still too high. It should be 5,000 crystal coins. But theyʼre already here. So, he really couldnʼt do anything to change it.

Luo Yan shrugged and just paid the 50,000 crystal coins. He then signed the parchment. The NPC put a seal on the parchment and handed it to him.

”Dear customer, this is your land title deed. Thank you for transacting with us.”

Luo Yan picked the parchment and stared at it, his eyes shining brightly. Heʼs finally a land owner!
