Chapter 103: A LITTLE INFO ABOUT THE PARTY

A QILIN?  As in one of the four auspicious mythical beasts alongside dragon, phoenix, and tortoise?  Luo Yan looked back again at Shen Ji Yun.  Even with the nondescript clothing, he was still too eye-catching.  Just looked at that hair, that face, and those horns.  No wonder he first met Luo Yan using his alt account.  If he wandered around using his real avatar, he'd definitely cause a commotion.

Even if he wasn't the captain of the 'fallen champions'– as other players loved to call them – his appearance alone was enough to attract everyone's attention.  If Shen Ji Yun looked average, then it probably wouldn't have that much of a big effect even if he's a legendary Qilin.  But as luck would have it, Shen Ji Yun's face value was sky-high.  Added with the features of a Qilin, his face simply became against the sky.

Luo Yan suddenly had a feeling of revelation.  Maybe this game's system took into account the player's face value before giving them a race.  At least those who picked 'random selection', that is.  They had two perfect examples here.  Obviously one was Shen Ji Yun, having a Legendary race and all.  The other was of course him, Luo Yan.  The system might have recognized how pretty he was and gave him a Special race that would highlight his beauty.

If that was the case, then great job, game system.  

Luo Yan walked towards Shen Ji Yun, his eyes shining.  "Wow, Brother Ji Yun looks so cool!"

Shen Ji Yun didn't have much change in expression on the outside but on the inside, a simple kind of happiness filled him.  Like a child that had been praised.  He even felt proud that his game avatar's race was a Qilin.  But he couldn't express his emotions well, so he could only nod in the end.

Luo Jin looked at Shen Ji Yun's cool avatar then he glanced down at his small body.  How come this cold-face bastard could get such a cool avatar while he's stuck with this one?  Then he inadvertently glanced at Su Yuqi's indifferent face and felt a bit ashamed.  Their game avatars were almost the size and yet he hadn't heard her complaining about it even once.  

If he continued to complain, it would only highlight how immature he was.  Besides, as much as he didn't want to admit it, he was already accustomed to this small body.  He would just avoid looking too much at that cold-face guy so he wouldn't feel too envious.

"Brother Ze said that you're the only Qilin in Arcadia.  That's amazing!" Luo Yan said, continuing showering Shen Ji Yun with compliments.

Shen Ji Yun gazed away because he could feel his face heating up.  Although he's happy that the rabbit seemed to like his avatar, he still couldn't help but feel a bit shy inside.  Of course none of those emotions showed on his face.

"It's because in the game, Qilin is one of the Legendary races.  Choosing 'random selection', there's a very, very, very, super very small chance that a player could get a Legendary race.  That's why players who managed to get one, most often than not, are only one of their kind," Bai Ze explained.  He seriously wondered if Uncle Yi Mu actually tinkered with the game system so he could give a Legendary race to his nephew.  That wouldn't really be too farfetched considering how he doted on Shen Ji Yun.  "A good example is our captain here.  Another example is the captain of Fenghuang who's a phoenix."

Well, with a team name of 'Fenghuang', it wouldn't take a genius to know that the captain must be a phoenix.  That's what Luo Yan thought.    

Shen Ji Yun coughed and cleared his throat.  He promptly changed the topic.  "Before we proceed to Black Lake, I want to explain some things first to you two about the King's annual party," he said to the rabbit and his gnome brother.  "Since this is the first time you'll be attending."

"Okay," Luo Yan said.  It would be good to have a first-hand knowledge about the event they'd be attending.

Luo Jin only snorted.

Shen Ji Yun looked at Luo Yan's obedient look and then at the gnome's obviously defiant look.  As he thought, the rabbit was still the best.  "Since this annual party is to celebrate the King's birthday, everything will be according to his wishes.  He would make requests, sometimes even really unreasonable ones, to his guests.  Those who managed to fulfill it would be rewarded by the King."

"The rewards given by the King are always the best and of the highest quality, so we should do our best to fulfill his request," Bai Ze added.

Su Yuqi nodded in agreement.

"The King's requests don't usually involve fighting, so it doesn't matter if the player's level is low," Shen Ji Yun continued.  "His requests are almost always similar to a brain teaser."

"Not just any brain teaser, but a very complicated brain teaser that usually involves an equally complicated solution," Bai Ze complained.  Thinking of all the unreasonable requests made by that King before, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.  Truthfully, he had no interest in attending that party this year.  But since Luo Yan requested for all of them to go, how could he refuse?

Oh, so that's why the invitation could be found as a reward in a fairly low level dungeon like Infernal Chasm.  Because whatever request this King made, it wouldn't depend on a player's level.  Luo Yan was kind of glad for that.  After all, he's only level 45 now.  Because of studying, he hadn't had time to fully grind levels.  Even Luo Jin was five levels higher than him now.  Well, he'd just have to make up for it after his admission exam.

But for now, he's really excited about the King's birthday party.  He wondered just what kind of reward an NPC considered as the King of Arcadia would give.

"Do you have any question?" Shen Ji Yun asked.

"Would it be dangerous?" Luo Jin asked.

"There's always danger involved in events like this," Shen Ji Yun simply answered.

"You don't have to be afraid, Xiao Jin.  You have three top-ranking players with you.  We'll definitely protect you and Xiao Yan," Bai Ze said, messing up Luo Jin's hair.

Shen Ji Yun nodded inside.  Yes, he would protect the rabbit.

Luo Jin angrily swiped away his cousin's hand.  "Who's afraid?  I'm just asking!"

"Yes, yes, if you say so," Bai Ze said, apparently not believing Luo Jin.

Luo Jin glared at this cousin of his.  Sometimes, he's almost overcome by the urge to punch this guy senseless.

"We should go," Su Yuqi said, looking at the time on her Status Window.

"Are you ready?" Shen Ji Yun asked Luo Yan.

Luo Yan nodded.  "Yes!"

Then Shen Ji Yun took a group teleportation scroll.  "Let's go."
