The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 1012 LOOKING FORWARD TO

1012  LOOKING FORWARD TO

SHEN JI YUN made a horizontal slash with his sword and the player wearing silver armor was thrown backward. The impact of the blow propelled him through the air, his body twisting in a desperate attempt to regain balance. The player landed several feet away, crashing to the ground with a thud.

Not long after, the playerʼs body turned into light particles. Signaling that the otherʼs HP had already turned zero. As soon as the player disappeared, a virtual notification appeared.

[Team Cosmosʼ territory had been completely breached!]

[Winner: Yunyue.]

[Congratulations!]

As soon as Shen Ji Yun saw that notification, he felt his body being transported. When he opened his eyes, he was already back at the main hall of their headquarters. The others had also appeared in the main hall at the same time.

”Another win! Thatʼs already five wins in a row! Four more and our spot in the final tournament would be ensured,” Bai Ze said excitedly.

”Was there really a need to state the obvious?” Su Yuqi said, rolling his eyes at Bai Ze.

”Is expressing excitement not allowed anymore?” Bai Ze retorted back.

”Good job everyone,” Shen Ji Yun said before the two get into their usual bickering routine. ”Just like what Bai Ze said, thereʼs only four matches left. As long as we continued with what we had been doing now, Iʼm confident that we can win all of them.”

Heʼs not really used to this kind of pep talk, but as the captain of this team, he had the responsibility of encouraging his teammates. Even if heʼs not that good at it.

”I agree with our dear captain. So, everyone, fighting!” Luo Yan said, pumping both his fists in a cutesy way. ”Anyway, I really need to go now. See you guys in our next scheduled match.” He then walked to Shen Ji Yun and give him a quick peck on the lips. ”See you later, Brother Ji Yun.”

Before Shen Ji Yun could respond, Luo Yan had already disappeared. He blinked. Feeling a bit confused, not expecting the other to leave just like that. More than that, why did Luo Yan said that they should see each other at their next match? The schedule for their next match was three days from now. Did that mean that they wouldnʼt meet in the next two days?

He turned to Bai Ze. ”Is Yan Yan busy with something?”

Bai Ze suddenly turned his gaze away and scratched his cheek. ”Haha yes. Xiao Ye has been sticking to Xiao Yan lately, asking him to play. You know how Xiao Ye likes him, right?” Then he turned to Luo Jin, his gaze as if asking the other to back him up. ”Right, Xiao Jin?”

Luo Jin only gave him a look as if saying ʼdonʼt ask meʼ. ”Iʼll log out as well,” he said to Su Yuqi as if the other was the only person here.

True to what he said, he really disappeared after saying that.

”Tsk. That Xiao Jin, why canʼt he just cooperate,” Bai Ze muttered under his breath. ”Ah, I remember that Mom is asking me to buy something. See you!”

After Bai Ze also logged out, Shen Ji Yun couldnʼt help but furrowed his brows even further. Bai Ze was obviously not acting normally. Even Luo Yan seemed to be hiding something. Just whatʼs going on here?

”Why is everyone acting weird?”

Eclipse voiced out what Shen Ji Yun had been thinking.

”Do you want me to give you a hint?” Su Yuqi asked, looking at Shen Ji Yun with a slight hint of amusement.

Whenever Su Yuqi had that look, it was either she was secretly mocking the person sheʼs speaking to or she found this situation very amusing. This time, it might be a little of both. But despite that, Shen Ji Yun still reluctantly nodded.

”Just think of what will happen four days from now.”

After saying that, she also disappeared.

Four days from now? Was there something else happening on that day?

As if there to answer his confusion, Eclipseʼs energetic voice echoed throughout the silent main hall.

”Captain, itʼs your birthday!”

Shen Ji Yun glanced at the boy. The surprise on his usually stoic face was very apparent.

His birthday?

Right, he almost forgot. Itʼs his birthday this coming Friday. So, were Luo Yan and the others acting like that because of it? Were they preparing a surprise for him?

He didnʼt know about others. But he was certain that his rabbit was definitely preparing something.

A small smile involuntarily crossed his lips. The slight grievance he felt earlier had disappeared and was quickly replaced by excitement and happiness.

For the first time in a long while, he was looking forward to his birthday.

After Luo Yan logged out of the game, he quickly went to Bai Zeʼs room and knocked. It didnʼt take long for his cousin to open it.

”Brother Ze, can you drive me somewhere?” he said.

”Okay?” Bai Ze responded with a bit of confusion.

Before he could ask where he should drive the other, Luo Yan had already pulled him down to the first floor. On their way, they met Luo Jin, who just came out of his room.

”What are you doing?” the other asked.

”Ah Jin, tell Auntie that we just went out for a bit and weʼll return soon,” Luo Yan said instead of answering Luo Jinʼs question. Then he continued pulling Bai Ze.

They were almost at the garage when Bai Ze was finally able to ask the important question.

”Where are we going, Xiao Yan?”

”In the Patek Philippe store new Elion Art Gallery.”

Bai Ze almost stopped walking when he heard that. If itʼs Patek Philippe, then itʼs a high end watch brand. He thought of asking why they should go there, but then he almost instantly got an answer on his own.

”Is it a gift for Ji Yun?”

Luo Yan grinned. ”Yup.”

The customized watch he ordered was finally done. He couldnʼt wait to see it. Hopefully, there wouldnʼt be any mistake and it would look exactly as what he ordered.
