The Return Of The God Level Assassin

"AS I’ve said earlier, your team will receive an extra reward for perfectly clearing the blue door," the King said after a while.

The King clapped once and six Skill Books appeared out of thin air. Two of those were in front of Luo Yan. The remaining four were also divided between Shen Ji Yun and Uriel.

"Choose one of the two Skill Books in front of you and that would be your extra reward," the King continued.

And here Luo Yan thought the King would give them two Skill Books each. He should have known this guy wouldn’t be that generous. He looked at the two Skill Books in front. Both looked exactly the same. Luo Yan didn’t think much and just picked the one on the left.

The moment he did, it turned into a small ball of light and flew straight at him. It entered the very center of his forehead and a bunch of information immediately appeared in his mind.

At first, it was like a replay of the dance he performed at the banquet. It played inside his head from start to finish. Then suddenly, he felt like every movement in the dance was embedded in his muscles. Almost as if even without music, he could perform it perfectly. Seeing how things were going, he suddenly had a bad hunch. This bad hunch was confirmed when the screen with the skill’s information appeared in front of him.

[Healing Dance]

- Dance for 30 seconds and you could cure any status ailments (i.e. paralysis, poison, etc.) of any friendly party within a 1-meter radius. Dance for a continuous minute and you could completely restore the HP of all friendly parties within the same radius.

- The vicinity of its effect would increase by half a meter as the skill’s level also increased.

Level: 1 (Max – 10)

Cool Down: 3 minutes

Luo Yan stared at the screen for a good second before his brain registered what he just read. Shit. What the hell was this? He already thought that that dancing experience would end after they got out of the blue door. But now, it even followed him out? Could he return this and choose the other Skill Book?

And what’s with this Healing Dance anyway? He’s an Assassin! Not a Priest or a Bard. Why should he have a healing skill? Seriously, he’s at the point where he suspected that the King was actually digging a pit for him to jump in.

"What’s wrong?" Shen Ji Yun asked when he noticed that the rabbit’s expression was a bit wrong. "You didn’t like the skill you got? Was it not useful?"

Oh, it’s useful alright. After all, an Assassin having a healing skill was pretty uncommon. Luo Yan just refused to dance in front of a bunch of other players. It felt like he would lose face if he did. Especially if the dance was the one that he did during the banquet. It wouldn’t be too embarrassing if he was a girl. But doing those movements when he’s clearly a guy was just too much for him.

He swore, he’d never use this skill unless it’s necessary for him to do so.

"It’s okay," he said, barely containing the smile on his face. "How about the skill Brother YUN got?"

"It’s alright."

Shen Ji Yun didn’t feel much since almost all his skills were powerful, some even over the top. But he did appreciate this extra reward. The King would never give out a weak and useless skill as a reward. Luo Yan was just starting. Acc.u.mulating good skills was good for any new players like him.

Duan Yu was also satisfied with the skill he got. It’s quite a powerful healing skill. A bit related to the role he played in the blue door. Now the verbal abuse he experienced under the hands of the elf, not to mention the dog food he was forced to eat, seemed not so bad anymore.

Luo Yan turned to the King. "Can we leave now, Your Majesty?" he asked, almost biting out the last part. After that dancing skill, he truly didn’t want to see the King’s face right now.

"There’s still one thing I need to give," the King said.

He snapped his fingers once again and a small transparent globe with some kind of ancient building inside appeared in front of Luo Yan. Luo Yan squinted his eyes at the building, because it looked eerily familiar. Like he had seen it before. Then something clicked in his brain. He hadn’t just seen this before, he’s been in it just a few hours ago.

It’s the miniature version of Yuexing Pavilion!

"I believe you requested to have this," the King continued.

Well, yes, Luo Yan did. But..."So, Your Majesty is giving me some kind of Yuexing Pavilion snow globe?"

"That’s not just for decoration, that’s the real thing. You can put it on an empty plot of land anywhere in the four cities and it would automatically appear on that land. Of course, the land should be big enough to fit the whole building and you need to buy the land yourself. All the courtesans and waiters will be reinstated once you have chosen to rebuild it. Any income the building generated will, of course, be put into your account," the King explained.

Luo Yan’s eyes widened. He almost couldn’t believe what he just heard. "Your Majesty mean that I now own Yuexing Pavilion for real?"

"I believe that’s what I just said," the King confirmed. "Not only that, you can also resume your role as ’Shishi’ whenever you wanted as long as you’re inside the premises of Yuexing Pavilion."

Luo Yan chose to ignore that last part. He was truly happy that he now had his own business inside the game. And from what the King said, all the NPCs working in the pavilion would still be there. Meaning he didn’t have to worry about where to get NPCs or even players to work in the pavilion. This was really a great loot. Even greater than the other rewards he got. Now the King didn’t seem to be so annoying anymore.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" he said, giving the King one of his rare real smile.

Duan Yu glanced at the elf. How could this guy be so lucky? If he knew he could take something out of the blue door, he would have probably asked for something too.

"You three can leave now," the King said instead.

He clapped his hands once again and their surroundings suddenly became blurry. Then the three disappeared from the throne room and reappeared instantly in front of Black Lake. Well, that’s a way to kick people out.

"I guess this is goodbye," Duan Yu said. "I hope you won’t ignore me when we cross paths again."

Luo Yan stopped and then smiled. "Of course."

Duan Yu had a feeling that if he didn’t say what he did, the two would really just ignore him. "It’s nice working with you two. And oh, don’t forget to give me a discount once your new business is up and running."

Then he logged out.

"Congratulations on having your own business," Shen Ji Yun said to Luo Yan.

"Thank you, Brother Ji Yun," Luo Yan said, his face was radiating with happiness.

Looking at that pretty face, Shen Ji Yun suddenly remembered the dance the rabbit performed during the banquet. When the King said that Luo Yan could once again become ’Shishi’, the first thing that came to his mind was –’he can see the rabbit dance once again’.

He shook his head. It’s like ever since they entered that blue door, his thought process suddenly became weird. No, his thought process since meeting the rabbit had already been weird. It just became worse.

"Are you going to log out now?" he just asked.

"Yeah. It’s already near my sleeping time," Luo Yan answered.

But he had to send a message to Luo Jin first, telling him that he already logged out. Speaking of, he wondered what that brother of his was doing now?
