The Return Of The God Level Assassin

LUO YAN stared at the building in front of him. The sleek, modern building featured an exterior adorned with dynamic LED displays showcasing vibrant game characters and scenes, capturing the essence of the virtual worlds crafted within. The entrance, marked by glass doors, was framed by minimalist landscaping. The overall design exuded a modern and tech-forward aesthetic, fitting seamlessly into the bustling surroundings.

Upon entering the building, visitors were welcomed into a spacious and well-lit lobby. The atmosphere was a blend of professionalism and creative energy, with concept art and industry awards adorning the walls. A reception desk stood at the center, manned by friendly staff ready to assist.

The lobby served as a gateway to the company's innovative realm, with a clear view of the building's layout and directional signage guiding visitors to different departments and floors. The immediate interior space reflected the company's commitment to the gaming industry, setting the tone for the cutting-edge creativity housed within the building.

This was not the first time Luo Yan had been here. He had been here in the past for a job interview. Which he passed, by the way. There was not much that had changed since then. But there were also a few changes here and there.

He wanted to visit this place at least once before he left S City. He didn't expect that he would come here this way.

"Yan Yan?" Shen Ji Yun called when he saw Luo Yan just standing there, looking around. "What's wrong?"

Luo Yan shook his head with a smile. "Nothing. I'm just amaze. This is Moonlight Media, after all. The birth place of Arcadia."

The corner of Shen Ji Yun's lips turned up a little. "If I had known you will be this excited, I would have brought you here sooner."

"It's fine. Better late than never, right?" Luo Yan said, walking beside Shen Ji Yun. "But I would appreciate a building tour, though."

"Then you shall get one," Shen Ji Yun said, not even thinking twice.

Luo Yan felt a bit excited when he heard that. When he did a job interview here before, he had only been in the lobby and the room dedicated for the interview. But now, he could have a full tour, courtesy of the owner's nephew. Which also happened to be his boyfriend.

Shen Ji Yun led him to the elevator. As they walked, employees kept glancing their way. Most of them greeted Shen Ji Yun in a friendly manner, while looking curiously at Luo Yan.

He didn't mind the curious glances. He was just glad that the people working in this company didn't seem to discriminate against Shen Ji Yun. With his two encounters with Shen Ji Yun's cousins, it's natural to have these pessimistic thoughts.

Although he couldn't really understand why there's a need for discrimination. This was not ancient time, after all. When one was ostracized for having a feature different from the rest. But he guessed that still held true for some in today's standard. Which was truly preposterous, by the way.

When they entered the elevator, Shen Ji Yun pressed the button for the eight floor. As the elevator moved up, Luo Yan was slightly surprised because the elevator was transparent on the other side. So, when the elevator moved up, he could see the view of the city.

"How pretty..." he couldn't help but say as he looked at the view.

"Not as pretty as you, though," Shen Ji Yun whispered.

Luo Yan smiled. "Oh, you and your sweet tongue." Then he gave Shen Ji Yun's cheek a quick peck. "Soon enough, you will melt me with all your sweet talk."

"I think that's quite fair since you have already turned me into a puddle," Shen Ji Yun responded.

Luo Yan laughed, thoroughly amused. "When did you learn to give these comebacks?"

Shen Ji Yun held his hand, brought it up to his lips and kiss it. "I have the best teacher, after all."

"That you do."

Then the elevator door opened. Both of them stepped out, with Shen Ji Yun leading and Luo Yan following beside him.

Shen Ji Yun stopped in front of a door and knocked on it. "Brother Zhao, it's me, Ji Yun."

There was silent for a moment before a hoarse voice inside said, "Come in."

Shen Ji Yun entered the door and Luo Yan couldn't help but raised his brow when he saw the inside of the office.

Although there were floor to ceiling windows inside the office, no light could enter inside. It's most likely a smart window where one could darken the glass. The only light inside came from a number of computer monitors lined up on the wall like some kind of surveillance.

"Ah, sorry, is it too dark?" said a voice in a lazy tone. "Xingxing, open the window."

Before Luo Yan could wonder who this 'Xingxing' was, the dark covering the floor to ceiling window disappeared. And light entered the office.

Because of the sudden brightness, Luo Yan had to close his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he finally saw the entirety of the room. There was not really that much inside. Not even a pot of plant. There were only those monitors on the wall. A desk was situated in front of them and behind it sat a man.

It was Zhao Cheng, the head programmer of Moonlight Media.

The other still looked like some homeless person who hadn't taken a bath for a few days. This came as a surprise for Luo Yan. He thought the other would at least dress up appropriately in his workplace, but he guessed not.

Zhao Cheng glanced at his two visitors. "You're here for the program, right? Come on, sit down. It will take quite a while to set up."

Luo Yan looked around. Where should they sit exactly? As with his observation earlier, there was barely anything in this office.

"Ah, right. I don't have a couch," Brother Zhao said as if he had only remembered that fact. "You can sit on the floor. Don't worry, it's clean."
