The Return Of The God Level Assassin

JUST like what he planned, after dinner, Luo Yan opened his MacBook to search about Song Liuli, information about the tournament, and that Rookie Carnival. He and Luo Jin tacitly agreed not to log in into Arcadia today and just rest. But before that, he’d just feed his curiosity first.

The first one he searched was Song Liuli. A lot of search results immediately appeared. He’s not interested about her profile or other things about her. He just wanted to know what she looked like. So he just clicked the first image he saw. It looked like some kind of promotional ad for some carbonated drink.

The girl at the picture looked like she was 19-20 years old. She was wearing a yellow sleeveless floral printed dress that was probably two inches above her knees, showing off her long legs. It was only accentuated by the pink strapped sandals she’s wearing. The dress also showcased her slim waist. She was smiling at the camera while holding the carbonated drink. As if inviting anyone who would look at her to join her for a drink.

Her skin looked smooth and flawless like a piece of porcelain. Her face was small. Her pair of black eyes were slightly upturned at the end. Anyone who would stare at those eyes probably couldn’t help but be hooked. And that smile, it’s definitely the smile of someone who knew what’s their effect on people were.

Well, Luo Yan could admit that this girl could really rival his beauty. After reading those comments, saying that he couldn’t compare to her or that he didn’t even deserve to be breathing the same air as her, he would definitely be pissed if her face didn’t manage to live up to the hype.

With his curiosity fed, Luo Yan closed that image and then opened the game forum of Arcadia. He specifically searched for topics related to that tournament thing. And he got a lot of hits. He read the few that was on the top. After going through with those posts, he got the gist of what it was. The Rookie Carnival was even mentioned a couple of times so he also understood what it was about.

So basically, this tournament called Arcadia Cup started five years ago. A year after the VR version was released. A team of at least five members had to fight another team in a tournament like competition. After the first season, it eventually became famous. So famous that it had its own livestream broadcast, even members of the teams that often placed high at the tournament started garnering their own followers. Some were even as famous as those 2nd line artists.

Those famous players could get advertising and modelling contracts, some would even appear in variety shows and make guest appearance in TV dramas. Due to that, some big teams had their own agent to facilitate the careers of their players.

Luo Yan whistled. This was even better than being a game anchor. No wonder a lot of players wanted to be part of the best teams. According to what he just read, there are four teams currently considered as the big four of Arcadia; Celestials – the team which had won three consecutive championsh.i.p.s, including the sixth season that happened this year. Fenghuang – the team that won the third season and took the second place this year. Mozu which won the second season and was third this year. And finally, Sirens which had always been in the top 4 since the third season.

Now when it came to the Rookie Carnival, it’s something that started four years ago. It’s a tournament that happened at the end of the year and was only for beginner players that started playing Arcadia that year. With Arcadia’s system, it’s definitely easy to find whether a player was really new and not just using an alt account. To be eligible for participation, the new player should at least be level 80. Probably to make sure that there wouldn’t be an easy match.

The Rookie Carnival could be really competitive. Because the champion would have a very high chance to be invited by the big teams.

Luo Yan grinned in excitement. Ah, he really wanted to join this Rookie Carnival.

It was Sunday morning in country M. Shen Ji Yun was waiting for his uncle at the restaurant of the five-star hotel they were checked in. He was sitting near the window. He looked outside and saw that it was slightly raining. He yawned. He wished his uncle could come down faster so they could finally eat breakfast. He’s kind of hungry. He didn’t eat much last night after all.

"Excuse me, could I sit with you?" a woman’s voice suddenly floated, asking him in English.

Shen Ji Yun raised his head and saw a foreign woman with blond hair and green eyes. "No," he answered coldly before looking back outside the window again.

"Now, you don’t have to be so cold," the woman said again, as if him refusing was just a joke.

When she was about to sit on the chair opposite, Shen Ji Yun turned his head and looked at the woman. If a gaze could freeze someone, the woman would have probably already turned into a big icicle by now. The woman immediately stopped her action of sitting down because she felt that if she did, she’d definitely be frozen by those blue eyes.

"T-then, please have a pleasant morning," the woman said before turning around and walking away.

"That’s already the sixth girl this week, isn’t it?" suddenly asked by a familiar voice from behind. Shen Ji Yun glanced back and saw his uncle. Shen Yi Mu walked and sat on the chair opposite him. "That one is really pretty. Why turned her down?"

"Not interested," Shen Ji Yun simply said. What pretty? In terms of prettiness, the silly rabbit was definitely a hundred times better. No, maybe a thousand times? But that still seemed not enough. Should it be a million times?

Shen Yi Mu sighed. "How could you have a girlfriend when you act so cold?"

This nephew of his was already 20 and yet he never had a girlfriend. The only girls he ever saw around him were those two members of his team. Which didn’t really change anything. Because one was now already married and the other, Su Yuqi, never showed that kind of interest in his nephew. He’s really starting to worry now about Ji Yun’s emotional growth.

Shen Ji Yun looked at his uncle. "When Uncle has a girlfriend of his own, then we could talk about that. For now, let’s just have breakfast."

Shen Yi Mu laughed. Well, just like his nephew said, he should not really talk about relationship. Slowly, his laugh turned into a bitter smile. Because even now, he still couldn’t get over that one person. A person that he should have forgotten long ago.
