Chapter 79 - PLAYING THE PIGS TO EAT THE TIGER (1/2)

LUO JIN glared at the closed door.  Who was that guy?  He looked so phony, like some trying hard wannabe gentleman.   And the way he's speaking and that tone of voice, it just gave Luo Jin the creeps.  Not the one that made you feel scared but the one that just made you feel disgusted.

”Ah Jin, put this in your Items Tab,” Luo Yan said, taking out the Invisibility Cloak from his own Items Tab and putting it on the table.  ”I'll temporarily lend it to you.”

Luo Jin looked at the Invisibility Cloak.  He'd seen Luo Yan used it a number of times already.  He even let him tried it one time.  But why did he have to lend it to him right now?  Even so, he still put it in his Items Tab.  ”Why lend it to me though?”

”So Ah Jin could use it later when we counter-attack against Essaint and his two friends,” Luo Yan answered.

Luo Jin suddenly remembered what that creepy wannabe said earlier, about that Essaint guy planning to use them.  ”Is this about them using us or some shi- crap?”

”Yes.”

Luo Yan answered happily, as if amused by the very idea that someone even dared to think of using them.  But that should be just Luo Jin's imagination, right?  Right?

”Let's talk using private chat later.  It would be bad if Essaint and his friends heard what we're talking about right now.” Because it that were to happen, then it would ruin Luo Yan's plan.  ”And Ah Jin, try your best not to lose your temper.  If you really couldn't take it anymore, just look at my face.”

”Why should I look at your face?” Luo Jin asked, confused.

Luo Yan smiled.  ”Because looking at my face will definitely put you back into good mood.” He put both hands on both of his cheeks.  ”After all, I'm this pretty.”

Luo Jin's face contorted a bit.  Seriously, what's with his brother and the word 'pretty'?  Did his brain waves somehow mutate during his seven-year coma?

A few minutes later, Essaint came back with a male player and a female player in tow.  The male player was a human race just like Essaint.  He was wearing a light armor and a sword was strapped on his side.  The girl was an elf wearing a short yellow robe and a pointed hat.

”I'm sorry for being late,” Essaint immediately apologized.

Luo Yan shook his head.  ”It's okay.  We didn't wait that long.”

”These are my friends, Bronzed Leaf and Apricot,” Essaint said introducing the male and female player respectively.  And then he turned to his two companion.  ”And these were the ones I told you about earlier.  Noctis and Jin.”

Noctis looked at the two and smiled.  ”Hello.”

Luo Jin chose to just ignore them.  Just like what his brother said, ignoring them would lessen the chance of him being annoyed.

Bronzed Leaf looked at Luo Yan's face and there was a visible disgust shown in his eyes.  He probably thought he hid it well but Luo Yan easily saw through it.

The girl, Apricot, was the complete opposite.  Her eyes brightened and immediately sat beside Luo Yan.  ”Nice to meet you, Noctis.”

She tried to hug his arm but Luo Yan tactically avoided it.  And then said, ”But is it really alright for us to team up with you?  We're only both level 36 after all.”

Bronzed Leaf looked smug after hearing that.  ”It's fine, we'll just have to carry you weak—ah, sorry, I mean, we'll carry you with us through the whole dungeon.”

”You don't have to worry at all.  I'll definitely protect you,” Apricot added.

Luo Jin glared at the woman.  What protect?  He could definitely do that himself.

”That's right. Beside, we're going to enter the Normal mode of the dungeon.  So it wouldn't be too hard,” Essaint said.

Dungeon raids usually had three modes.  The captain of the team could choose to play Easy, Normal, or Heroic mode.  Easy being the easiest and Heroic being the hardest.

Luo Yan smiled.  ”That's fine then.”
