The Return Of The God Level Assassin

THAT night, a certain post at the game forum of Arcadia garnered the attention of quite a number of people. The title of the post was; [Shock! A beauty that could rival goddess Liuli finally appeared!]

This title was very eyecatching. Who didn’t know Song Liuli? If you’re playing Arcadia, then you definitely should know her. She’s one of the most popular player of Arcadia. Not only because of her outstanding appearance but also because she was a genuinely good player.

Five years ago, a year after the released of the VR version of Arcadia, Moonlight Media announced a tournament where different teams would battle each other. The winning team at the end would not only receive a huge amount of prized money, they would also receive a lot of in-game rewards. Not to mention, the prestige that they would get after. This tournament was known as the Arcadia Cup.

There were not a lot of teams that participated during the first season. But after that, the Arcadia Cup completely blew up. The next year, countless teams participated. To accomodate everyone, a play-offs had been held during the first quarter of the year. Then the 16 teams with the most win would be eligible for the tournament that would be held during the second quarter of the year.

This year’s tournament season had just ended and the winning team was the Celestials. This team had been champions for three consecutive years. And Song Liuli was the vice-captain of this team. So, of course, she was very popular.

After the success of the first season, it was decided that the Arcadia Cup would be streamed live online. They had a huge audience, mostly were young people. To these young people, the members of the top teams were like idols. Especially those who belonged to the champion team. Being beautiful, of course Song Liuli would gather more attention than others.

She’s considered a goddess among a number of players. Her Weibo fans could be compared to those 2nd line artists. Together with her team captain, she even filmed a series of commercial promoting Arcadia. With those commercials, it could be seen that she didn’t beautify herself and her game avatar was really how she looked like in real life. This made people admire her even more. She successfully won the hearts of many and firmly sat on the throne of the no. 1 beauty of Arcadia.

That’s why a lot of people were dissatisfied with the post. Some were even angered. How could someone be compared to their goddess? Their intention when they clicked the post was to mock the original poster. They even held some kind of contempt towards the person their goddess was being compared to. Bu t once they clicked the post, their complaints were trapped in their throats and they could only stare at the screen of their laptops, computers, and phones.

The first thing they saw was a sneak shot of a white haired elf. His peach blossom eyes were bent in a smile. Looking at those blue gaze speckled with gold, one couldn’t help but wish that that warm smile was directed at them. His skin was white and delicate. His lips had a natural pink tint. His face couldn’t be said to be truly feminine because it still had hints of masculinity in it. It was the kind of beauty that could transcend genders - attracting both men and women.

Below the picture was a set of text made by the poster;

[I know what you should look like right now. You couldn’t believe your eyes, right? Well, me too. The moment I saw this male god (no, should I call him a goddess?), I felt like the embodiment of all my fantasies just took a solid form in front of me. Just look at that face! Anyone (not just me!) would definitely be mesmerized. I swear, from now on, I’m his fan.]

Following this post, a lot of people also posted their comments below.

[Waaa!!! I also saw him today at Olkdale Town! I also wanted to take a sneak shot of him but I was too busy looking at his face that I just forgot to do it.]

[I saw him too! Trust me, he even looked better than this picture.]

[Envy! I want to see this male god too! Or should I call him a goddess like the original landlord did? LOL.]

[Ahhh!!! That face, that body, can I just lick him all over?]

[Upstairs, don’t be selfish. Why don’t we lick him together?]

[I came here expecting to be disgusted but left with an arrow in my heart. The title was indeed not misleading. This elf could truly rival goddess Liuli’s beauty.]

There were a lot of comments like these, praising the white haired elf for his beauty. But there were also a lot of sunspots who couldn’t wait to spray hate.

[How could this guy be compared to my goddess? Are you all blind? He definitely beautified himself to the extreme!]

[That’s right! Just look at the white hair! When did elves have white hair? He probably paid someone in Moonlight Media to customize his game avatar for him.]

[I feel that upstairs is right. Look at his costume. That definitely cost a lot of crystal coins. He’s probably some rich second generation who wanted to attract the attention of people in the game.]

[Disgusting! How dare you all compare this fake beauty to my goddess?!]

[Regardless of whether he’s a fake beauty or not, he probably doesn’t have the skills to fight. I bet I could PK him with just one hit. What do you call that kind of person? Ah yes, a vase!]

If there were sunspots, of course, there were also those who didn’t hesitate to defend the white haired elf.

[To the one saying that he paid someone in Moonlight Media to customize his character, is your IQ not online? Moonlight Media’s upright character is evident to all. How could they customize a character just for one person? You’re saying that they were bribed? Again, is your IQ really not online? With how huge Moonlight Media is right now, they don’t need to be bribed at all. Or are you saying that they were so in need of money that they would accept the bribe of one person?]

[To the people doubting him for having white hair instead of blond despite being an elf, it’s because he’s a moon elf. It’s one of the special races added after the latest update. And even if he did beautify himself, I’m sure his real face would still look much better than a lot of people here.]

[He’s totally not a vase! *attached video file* Watch this and you’ll know what I mean. PS. His game name is Noctis~]

With the addition of this video, the original post became even hotter. It stayed at the top of the game forum for two hours before it was replaced by other posts.

Luo Yan, who had no idea of all these, was happily showing his father and older brother the screen shot he took of Luo Jin.

"Dad, Brother, look, Ah Jin is so cute!"

Luo Wei Tian and Luo Ren both looked down at the screen of Luo Yan’s cellphone. What they saw was a younger version of Luo Jin. The tips of his black hair were tinted red. His eyes were even the color of ruby’s. He was also wearing some kind of cute outfit. Both father and son had their eyes widened. Because they looked so much alike, seeing the same expression appeared on their handsome faces at the same time was almost comical.

"Yan Yan, send this picture to my WeChat."

"Xiao Yan, send this picture to Dad."

The two said almost the same time.

"What picture?" Luo Jin said who just walked to the living room where they were.

Luo Ren took Luo Yan’s phone and showed the picture to his youngest brother. "Xiao Jin, I almost forgot how cute you were when you were young."

"Ah Ren is right. Now I couldn’t help but remember the days when Xiao Jin would smile sweetly at me and ask me to hug him," added Luo Wei Tian, a nostalgic expression on his face as if really remembering those days.

Luo Jin stared at the photo on the screen and his whole face immediately turned red. It was probably even redder than a ripe tomato! He turned sharply at Luo Yan. "Yan, how could you took that picture?"

Luo Yan showed an innocent expression. "But Ah Jin, I just want to show Dad and Brother how cute you were. I couldn’t just hog you all to myself." Then he showed an aggrieved expression as if he would cry at any second. "Please, don’t be mad."

Luo Jin’s anger vanished just like that. He couldn’t bear to scold his second brother so he just turned to his eldest brother who was still holding the phone. "Brother, delete that picture."

"No way. It’s rare to see Xiao Jin like this. So, of course, we have to keep it," Luo Ren said.

"Brother! I said delete it!"

"Nope. Not going to happen."

Luo Jin lunged towards his eldest brother who immediately dodged him. Soon, the two were running around the living room. One was trying to catch the other, while the other was doing his best not to be caught.

Luo Wei Tian just laughed happily seeing his two sons like this. Even Luo Yan couldn’t help the smile that crossed his face.

While Luo Yan was having a good time here, someone in B City was brooding.

Shen Ji Yun’s handsome face was still full of black lines. He swore, the next time he saw that white haired elf, he wouldn’t give him the chance to disappear like that in front of him again. At least not until he confirmed his connection to that silly rabbit.
