Chapter 139 - BLUE DOOR'S REWARDS (I)

WHEN Luo Yan opened his eyes, the three of them were already standing in a room very similar to a throne room.  He glanced beside him and saw Shen Ji Yun back to his original game avatar – long dark purple hair with silvery tips, a pair of light amethyst beast-like eyes, and a pair of golden antler shaped horns.  Luo Yan looked down and subconsciously smiled when he saw his purple flash costume.  Finally, he's no longer wearing that courtesan costume.

He then gazed up.  Sitting on a throne made of glass was a man.  He had silvery white hair like threads made of moon light and a pair of apricot eyes the same color as the night sky.  It was the King of Arcadia.  Looking down at them in that majestic and gentle manner.

"Congratulations on perfectly clearing the blue door," the King said.

Remembering all the things he experienced in that blue door, Luo Yan's urge to beat up the King rushed up again.  "I hope we managed to entertain Your Majesty," he was smiling but his voice was full of sarcasm.

But the King seemed to not notice it.  "Oh, you did.  I was very much entertained. For that and for perfectly clearing the door you went into, I decided to give you three an extra reward.  On that note, here are the rewards for accomplishing your task."

The King snapped his finger and three male servants walked in carrying a treasure chest each.  They stopped in front of the three players and one by one opened the treasure chest.

From left to right; an almost transparent stone that was giving off a golden glow, a silver white robe that seemed to be sewn from the King's hair himself, and finally, a fist sized green pod.

"Introduce the items," the King said to the servants holding the chests.

"This stone is called [Stelian].  It could be used as a weapon's core.  It could also be forged into an armor or any kind of accessories.  Any items forged from it would automatically have a holy light attribute.  It would be most advantageous to anyone with a Priest class," the servant holding the left most chest said.

"This is the [Lunam Robe].  It was woven personally by His Majesty using his own Mana.  Anyone who wears it would have a 10% increase in their DEF (defense)," the one standing at the middle said.

"This is the [Ambrosia Pod].  It contained a large amount of Mana.  Its size could increase accordingly.  If the player wanted to use it for themselves, the pod could enlarge to their size.  They could soak inside and their basic MP would increase exponentially.  A player could also use it for their chosen pets.  Their stats would also increase if they soaked inside," the last one to the right said.

When he heard that, Luo Yan's eyes visibly brightened.  "Could a beast's egg be also put inside the pod?" he couldn't help but asked.

"Yes," the servant answered.  "It would accelerate the egg's hatching time."

That's what Luo Yan wanted to hear.

"YUN, as the leader of your team, I will give you the rights to choose whichever rewards you wanted and also, which of the remaining two would be given to your team mates," the King said.

Luo Yan immediately turned to Shen Ji Yun, grabbing the hem of the sleeve of his robe.  His peach blossom eyes were practically shouting –'I want that Ambrosia Pod!'.

Of course, Shen Ji Yun would not disappoint him.  So he patted the rabbit's hand holding on to the helm of his robe.  Telling him with his eyes that he understood.  He turned to the King.  

"I will give the [Ambrosia Pod] to Noctis.  The [Stelian] to Uriel.  And I will take the [Lunam Robe]." He glanced at Uriel.  "You have no complains about that, right?"

Duan Yu raised one of his brows.  "It's not as if I have a choice, right?" he questioned back.

"True," Shen Ji Yun didn't hesitate to say before turning back to the King.  "Those are my choices."

The King raised his hand, signaling for the servants to give the rewards to the three players.  Which they immediately did.

When Luo Yan took the [Ambrosia Pod] from the chest, he happily hugged it.  The egg had been in his possession for 27 days now.  He'd been inputting his Mana on it ever since.  That's the first thing he always did every time he logged in the game.  Based on his calculation, he had to do that for 100 days until it hatched.  But with this [Ambrosia Pod], the time the egg needed to hatch would be shorten.

He immediately put it in his Items Tab.  With the help of the pod, he would probably meet his Little Ancestor soon.

Looking at that silly grin on Noctis' face, Duan Yu could tell that the guy had his own beast's egg.  The pet system had only been implemented a little more than a month ago.  So most veteran players hadn't got onto it yet.  Just like most of the high ranking members of Celestials.  Now he's thinking, maybe they should go and get their own pet too.  Those things might turn into one of the decisive factors in winning a team battle during the next season of Arcadia Cup.

Luo Yan turned to Shen Ji Yun with a bright smile on his face.  "Thank you, Brother YUN."

"It's nothing," Shen Ji Yun said.  He already suspected that the pod was probably for that beast's egg he saw Luo Yan took out that one time.  He then took the robe and presented it to Luo Yan.  "You can also have this one."

Luo Yan almost didn't manage to react on time.  "Wha—why?"

"The robe I'm wearing already has the same effect.  It would be much more of use to you than me," Shen Ji Yun simply explained.

He knew that Luo Yan already had an item that he's planning to use as his weapon's core.  That's why he didn't hesitate to pick the [Lunam Robe] to give to Luo Yan.  Besides that, with the rabbit's avatar's long white hair and porcelain white skin, he knew that it would definitely look good on him.  Definitely much better than anyone else.

And it also didn't hurt that this [Lunam Robe] looked like a pair with his own [Firecloud Robe].

Luo Yan accepted the robe.  This was not the time to act like some white lotus person who would insist he didn't need the robe and would go around this whole dance of 'you should have it and no, I can't possibly accept it'.  Since Shen Ji Yun was willing to give it to him, why should he refuse?  

And besides, this robe would definitely look good on him.  Though he had to look for another set of costume that would go well with it.

He happily put it in his Items Tab.  "Thank you, Brother YUN.  I will definitely take good care of it."

A small smile crossed Shen Ji Yun's lips.  His usually cold and emotionless eyes were currently filled with gentleness and indulgence.

Duan Yu, seeing all this, just shook his head.  It seemed like no matter the place, these two would always inadvertently force people to eat their dog food.
