Chapter 240 SENDING INVITATIONS
Chapter 240 SENDING INVITATIONS
LUO YAN was walking on the streets of Goldcrest City.He was on his way to Arcadia Mail and Delivery.It’s an establishment in the game where players could send mail and all kinds of items to other players.Each of the four cities had the said establishment.When he asked Shen Ji Yun for some advice on how he should deliver the invitations, he recommended the game’s official mail and delivery service.
According to him, if one would want to deliver a letter to another player, they could print the letter there.All they had to do was to show the copy of the letter they wanted to print.Since the game account could be linked to a player’s email address, it was easy to retrieve any file from their email even if they’re inside the game.The same way that they could also sent screenshots and videos that they had taken in the game to their email.
Which meant, Luo Yan could simply show the invitation he worked so hard to make last night to any NPC there.
Yesterday, he received the designs that Yu Jiao made for him.So, when he returned back home, the moment he logged into the game, he went to the specialized merchandize shop to give them the design for the boat.He told them that he would be back on Saturday morning to retrieve the boats he ordered.
He did not play after dinner because he was planning to edit the invitation.It took awhile before he could finish.Because he wanted it to be as perfect as it could.After that, he still needed to do some of his assignments.So, he no longer had the time to enter the game again.Unless, of course, he wanted to sacrifice his sleep.Which he didn’t want to do.It’s not only for his growth but also for his skin.This was a dangerous age for a teenager, after all.He could easily get pimples if he stayed up late and not get enough sleep.How could he let that happen?
So, he could only send the invitations today.There were only three days left before the opening of his pavilion.But he’s not worried that his invitations would not make it in time.It’s because Shen Ji Yun assured him that once the invitations were released, the mail and delivery service would make sure that it would be delivered within 24 hours.
[Mashter, Captain is not going with us?] – Eclipse said, interrupting his thoughts.The little fox was lying comfortably on his shoulder.
[No, he had class today.]
[What?Then does that mean this ’class’ is more important than Mashter?] – Eclipse said in an outraged voice.
Luo Yan playfully pulled one of Eclipse’s tails.[Of course, it’s important.The ’class’ you’re talking about could affect your captain’s future after all.]
Besides, if Shen Ji Yun delayed his class just so he could chase him, Luo Yan would be the first one to get mad.
Eclipse pouted.[But Mashter is still more important.]
He chuckled.Seriously, he couldn’t help but wonder what kind of brain hole this pet of his have.
Not long after, they arrived at Arcadia Mail and Delivery.
He looked up at the building that was almost embedded to the ancient looking tree beside it.The three-story building also had a rustic feel to it.Made up of yellow bricks and red roof tiles.Green vines also creeped along the building.Adding to the fairy-tale like feel.There was a wooden sign on the side saying ’Arcadia Mail and Delivery’.
Luo Yan no longer wasted time and just walked inside.And he was a bit surprised to see that a part of the tree was indeed inside the building.So, instead of saying that the building was embedded on the tree, it’s more accurate to say that the building was built around the tree.On the first floor, he could see NPCs packing up items.They were lined up in front of a conveyor belt – checking the items, packing them up in beautiful parcels, and then putting elegantly written messages on them.
A female NPC walked up to Luo Yan."Dear customer, can I help you with anything?"
"Yes, I want to send a personally delivered mail to a number of people.Where should I go for that?" he asked.
"Then please proceed to the third floor.There would be another employee assisting you."
Luo Yan nodded and walked towards the lift.It’s like one of those old-style elevators.He was the only one riding it, so, there was no problem in pushing the button corresponding to the third floor.When he arrived there, the floor was mostly empty.There were just a few players, most were NPCs.
Another female NPC walked up to him."Dear customer, what can I assist you with?"
He once again told the NPC the same thing he told the other one earlier.
"I understand.Then, please follow me."
The NPC led him to an empty room where only a huge holographic screen could be seen.
"May I ask if you already have a sample of the mail you wanted to send or if you want us to make it now?" asked the NPC.
"I already have one."
"Then, please, send it to our server.All you have to do is to open your Status Window and the connection to our service will automatically appear.You will be able to send the file then," explained the NPC.
Luo Yan did as he was told.Just like the NPC said, as soon as he opened his Status Window, he could see a connection on the upper right.Much like a wi-fi signal.He easily sent the sample invitation to the server that the NPC mentioned.Then, he saw the sample invitation appearing on the huge holographic screen in front of him.
"Please, specify where you want to print it, who do you want to send it to, and how would you want it to be delivered."
Just as the NPC said that, those options appeared on the holographic screen.Luo Yan chose to print it on a parchment – the one that you would roll and closed with a seal.Of course, the seal he would use was the symbol of Yuexing Pavilion.The second one was who he would send it to.He chose the ’customized multiple recipient’ option.With this one, he could type the names of the players he would send the invitation to and their names would appear automatically on the invitation that was specifically for them.It took a while for him to enter all the names of the players he was planning to invite.For the mode of delivery, he chose the owl mode.Where owls would be the one to deliver the invitations.
Once done, he pressed ’enter’ and the total price for the service appeared.The total price was a bit high.But Luo Yan didn’t mind.He paid it all in full.
"Thank you for choosing our services, dear customer.Be assured that your mails would be delivered within 24 hours starting now."
Luo Yan nodded and walked out of the room.
[Mashter, where are we going now?] – Eclipse asked when they walked towards the lift.
[We’ll stop by the headquarters of team Celestials and meet a certain four-eyes.]
