Chapter 46 - BUYING COSTUMES (1/2)

”AH JIN, let's go shop first before grinding levels,” Luo Yan suggested when they walked out of the General Store.  They're at the part of the town where all the shops were located.  So it's convenient to go shop now before they went to kill monsters.

”I don't mind, but do you have crystal coins?” Luo Jin asked.

He bought crystal coins when he was still at his Origin Village.  He needed to buy because he had to use those red potions.  He had his own bank account with a hefty amount of money deposited in it so it was easy for him to buy those crystal coins.  But how about his second brother?  He hadn't heard their father giving Luo Yan access to his bank account.

Luo Yan grinned at him.  ”Dad and Brother bought me a lot of crystal coins.  You don't know but I'm actually a rich game tyrant right now.”

Luo Jin was amused by this.  ”Where did you learn that term?”

”In the internet,” Luo Yan said which was partly true since he did learn that term in the internet during his last life.

”You better not be watching weird stuff.”

Luo Yan tilted his head to the side and acted all innocent.  ”What weird stuff?”

”You know, something inappropriate.”

Luo Yan blinked his big blue eyes surrounded by long white eyelashes.  ”What does Ah Jin consider as inappropriate?”

”You know, those--” Luo Jin stopped, how could he tell his second brother about those things?  It might make him want to search about it.  ”Anyway!  Let's just go and shop.”  He turned around and walked.

Luo Yan chuckled.  It's really fun teasing this younger brother.  ”Ah Jin, wait!  You're walking in the wrong direction!” he called.

Luo Jin stopped and looked at him.  His small face blushing red with embarrassment.  ”Then don't just stand there, show the way!”

”Yes, yes.”

He walked beside Luo Jin and guided him towards the shop he wanted to go to.

”Are we going to the Weapon's Shop?” Luo Jin asked.

”I think it's more convenient if we buy weapons once we have our own class.  That way we could directly buy a high grade weapon suited for the class we've chosen,” Luo Yan said.  ”But if Ah Jin wanted to buy a weapon now, I don't mind.”

”No, you're right.”  Luo Jin could still use the weapon he bought at his Origin Village, so he currently didn't need a new weapon.  ”Then where are we going?”

”There,” Luo Yan answered, pointing at a building in his right.

They both stopped walking and Luo Jin turned to the direction his brother pointed.  What he saw was a three-storey building with a sign 'Costume Shop'.

”Costume Shop?  We're going to buy costumes?” Luo Jin said a bit incredulously.

”Hey, Ah Jin, don't judge.  A lot of costumes have better stats than armors.  Aside from the fact that they're lighter, they're even prettier to look at.  Not like most tacky looking armors,” Luo Yan said indignantly.

Most people who bought costumes were rich players or at least those who had abilities to earn crystal coins in-game.  Because if you really want a costume that's better than the usual armor, then you need a lot of crystal coins.  They're expensive.  Those that were cheap didn't really do much on a player's stats.  If you're a serious player and you chose costumes instead of armors, then it's better to buy the expensive ones.

Luo Jin - who was already getting used to his second brother's abundant knowledge of this game - once again heard the word 'pretty' from his brother's mouth.  ”So you just want to look pretty?  But you really don't need it though.”

Luo Jin said the last one almost like a whisper but Luo Yan still heard it.  He smiled brightly at his brother.  ”I know I already look pretty but there's no harm done in looking better.”

Luo Jin raised one of his thin eyebrows.  ”Aren't you being a little too narcissistic?”

Luo Yan only smiled at his brother.  He could admit that he really was a bit of a narcissist.  He always uplift himself growing up.  Because there wasn't anyone around him to do it.  It's his own way to gain confidence.  Being an orphan, he's surrounded by people who only wanted to put him down.  So why wouldn't he even praise himself?  Before he knew it, it already became a habit.  A habit he obviously brought back in this life.

”Let's go inside,” he just said.
