The Return of the God Level Assassin

Chapter 238 HER FIRST STEP FORWARD

"AHM, what business?" Yu Jiao asked, truly confused by the question.

Luo Yan realized that his question was a bit vague.So, he repeated it once again.This time with more details."It’s the advertis.e.m.e.nt that had been playing in Arcadia for the past week.You’ve seen it, right?"

Yu Jiao seemed to finally understand what he’s talking about.But then, she looked like she was hesitating if she should answer the question honestly or not.Luo Yan thought that she’s probably hesitating because she didn’t want to admit that she was playing Arcadia.

Luo Yan was indeed right.Yu Jiao was wavering if she should answer him honestly or not.No one knew about her playing Arcadia.Well, except for her family.But that’s only an accident.Because her stepsister saw the VR helmet in her room and tried to destroyed it.That incident was the final straw that led her to leave the Mo household and stayed at the school’s dormitory.Because Guizu Academy was a rich school, students who chose to stay at the dormitory would have their own rooms.That’s why Yu Jiao could play Arcadia without anyone bothering her.

Now she wasn’t sure if she should admit to Luo Yan that she played Arcadia.Because the only reason he would ask that question was because he, himself, was playing the same game.If she admitted to that fact, then there’s a big possibility that Luo Yan would ask for them to meet in the game.And that’s the real reason why she’s hesitating.

She looked at Luo Yan’s pretty face.And then remembered all the kindness he had shown her since school started.He was the fist one who ever tried to make friends with her.Shen was naturally shy and gloomy.Characteristics that wouldn’t warrant for anyone to befriend her.But Luo Yan did.Maybe he didn’t have an honest motive to get close to her at first.But she could feel later on that he was truly sincere in wanting to be friends with her.

She was sensitive when it came to things like that.Maybe because of her overly careful nature.Because she grew up in a single parent household, she had to be always mindful of how she acted.If she committed a mistake, she didn’t want others to criticize her mother for that.Which led to her constantly analyzing the actions of the people around her.Especially those who tried to get close to her.

So, she could feel that Luo Yan probably didn’t think of truly befriending her at first.He probably only did so because of her drawing that he picked up.But his later actions and words towards her were all sincere.That’s why from the bottom of her heart, she also truly wanted to be friends with him.To have the courage to move out of her comfort zone and move forward.But how could she do that when she couldn’t even honestly answer one question?

Yu Jiao took a deep breath.With her mind finally made up, she answered, "Yes, I’ve seen it."

Luo Yan rejoiced inside when he heard that answer.Because this proved that Yu Jiao was finally willing to reveal to him that she was also playing Arcadia."What is your opinion about it, that advertis.e.m.e.nt?"

"Wasn’t it for the new business that the game was about to launch this Saturday?"

"Everyone thinks that, right?But actually, that business is owned by a player."

Yu Jiao showed a surprised look."How did you know about this?"

Luo Yan smiled."Because I’m the owner."

Yu Jiao became speechless for a second.That answer was the least one she expected to hear.Or it might be more accurate to say that she didn’t even think about that possibility.She was a bit doubtful at first.But when she thought about it carefully, there was really no reason for Luo Yan to lie to her.Which meant that he was really the owner of that business that was about to open this Saturday.

Everyone just assumed that it was a new business that the game created.It was mostly because Moonlight Media’s official Weibo account promoted the business itself.Not only that, the location of the building was on a land that players couldn’t just buy and own.So, it was easy to misunderstand.Moonlight Media itself didn’t make any statement to disprove the players’ assumptions.That’s why most players, including her, thought that that was indeed the case.

But then, what Luo Yan said just now disproved that."Do you have some kind of special identity?" she couldn’t help but ask.Because how else could he own a piece of land in the recreational garden located at Goldcrest City?

Luo Yan stopped and then chuckled."That’s what most would think, right?But no, I don’t.Let’s just say, I have a friend who have a so-called ’special identity’."

Now that he thought about it.Maybe Shen Ji Yun manipulated it in a way that he could purchase a piece of land in the recreational garden.Because he already liked him then.It would be a lie if he said that he wasn’t moved.He smiled.Really, how cute.

Yu Jiao immediately understood that it this ’friend’ who helped Luo Yan buy that land and this ’friend’ could also be the reason why Moonlight Media’s Weibo promoted this business.She wondered what kind of ’friend’ was this that they could do all those things.She wouldn’t be surprised if they’re related to the top echelons of the gaming company.

"But why tell me this?"

That’s right.That’s the most important part.Why would Luo Yan tell her this?

"Well, I could be totally mushy and tell you that it’s because we’re friends.But the truth is, I want to ask you a favor."

Yu Jiao almost laughed because of what he said."As long as it’s within my ability, sure, I’ll do it."

"It’s definitely within your ability.You see, I need to make a symbol for my business.Its name is Yuexing Pavilion, by the way.So, the symbol should be something that once people see, they would automatically link to the pavilion.I really couldn’t think of anything.So, I was hoping that you could help me with the design.Would it be alright if I ask your help with this?"

It didn’t take long for Yu Jiao to decide once she heard that."Okay, I’ll help you."

She already decided that she would slowly get out of the hard shell she tightly wrapped herself into.And this was her way of taking a step forward.
