Chapter 231 - SHOPPING FOR NPCs (2/2)
”Can you show me five of your best-looking male NPCs?” Luo Yan said.
”No problem, this way please.”
While watching Luo Yan inspect holographic models of male NPCs, Shen Ji Yun once again felt sour in his heart. Then he suddenly felt a small paw touching his cheek. He turned his head to look at the fox sitting on his shoulder. He was looking at him pitifully, as if silently saying – 'I understand your suffering'.
He felt the corner of his mouth twitching. Then he shook his head. His narrow-mindedness was now even affecting his judgement. Or else why would he have the illusion that this fox understood his emotions?
”After buying them, we will give you their contract deed and then you can input the type of personality you want them to have,” the NPC said.
Luo Yan raised one of his brows. That's the first time he heard about that. The NPCs in his pavilion didn't have a deed or something. Maybe because he owned the whole pavilion where they worked. After purchasing five male NPCs and receiving their contract deed, he couldn't help but feel that he traveled back to ancient times and just bought his own slaves.
”Do you want to activate them now and bring them back with you?” the NPC asked.
He put back the contract deeds in his Items Tab and said, ”No. Can I come back on Saturday and take them then?”
”Of course. You just have to show the contract deeds by then.” The NPC nodded. ”We are also offering different clothes for NPCs. If you want, you can buy one for the NPCs you just purchased.”
”Do you have a catalogue? Can you show me?”
”Yes, of course.”
Then a holographic catalogue appeared in front of Luo Yan. It was divided between male and female clothes. So, he went to the male directory and went through the clothes there. He picked five sets of ancient clothes since all the NPCs in his pavilion were wearing that type. Even if they're only going to be boatmen, they still have to match his other employees.
After paying, he said to the NPC, ”I want them to wear these clothes when I pick them up on Saturday.”
”No problem, dear customer. I will make sure of that.”
After the transaction, Luo Yan looked back and saw that Shen Ji Yun was just silently standing at the corner, petting Eclipse. The little fox was clearly enjoying it based on the happy expression on his face. It's weird, but he couldn't help but think that the scene of the two of them together was kind of adorable.
He walked towards the two. ”Brother Ji Yun, I'm done. Let's go?”
”You don't have any more errands?” Shen Ji Yun asked.
”No. I was just actually planning to do some task.”
”Then… should we eat somewhere? I believe you still owe me a meal.”
When Shen Ji Yun said that, he tried his best not to show his nervousness. How could he just let this day end without them eating somewhere? This was a 'date', so they needed to dine together. Even if he's the only one who considered this as a 'date'.
Luo Yan was a bit surprised by the request. But then remembered that he did still owe Shen Ji Yun a meal. So, he smiled and said, ”Sure. Where do you want to go?”
”Somewhere that will surprise you,” Shen Ji Yun answered ambiguously.
Then he suddenly felt a paw tapping his chest. He looked down at the fox he was holding. And the little thing just gave him a thumbs-up.
