LUO YAN looked at the five monsters currently surrounding him.  He lowered his stance and crossed his arms, each hand holding a dagger, in front of him.  When the five monsters were about to attack him, he immediately unleashed his attack.

He first made a vertical slash, attacking the monster in front of him.  Then he stretched his arms on both sides, thrusting the daggers on the monsters on his left and right.  Successfully stabbing them.  Then he swirled around, crossing his stretched hand over one another and stabbing the two monsters left standing behind him.

All his movements connected so smoothly that it almost seemed like he was dancing instead of fighting.  His every movement had a touch of elegance and grace in them that anyone who watched him would have a hard time taking their eyes away from him.  He repeated this series of attack until the five monsters were killed and started disintegrating.

He was able to execute this move perfectly because every action was engraved in his brain.  He knew that it was the effect of the skill book.  The moment the information inside the skill book entered the brain, it's like a tutorial video would flash inside your mind, showing you how to execute the skill.  He wasn't sure how it was for magic-based skills.  But at least it was like that for weapon-based one.

Luo Yan felt like his movements became smoother compared when he was just attacking by instinct and copying the moves he remembered from playing the PC version.  It's like those movements were now a part of him.  Almost like an extension of his limbs.  Maybe his brain was just too compatible with this game.

What Luo Yan just used earlier was the skill [8th Movement Dance].  It's a skill he got as a reward from a task he and Luo Jin did yesterday.  It was a delivery task.  They were required to deliver a certain item to an NPC living in Olkdale Town.  It was quite the troublesome task.  Since they had to acquire the item first – which, by the way, just happened to be inside a monster infested cave – and then deliver it safely to the said NPC.

If it wasn't for the skill book that's being rewarded, he'd rather kill a hundred monsters instead.  The player who successfully finished the task could freely choose what class the skill book should belong to.  He and Luo Jin argued a bit if it should be an Assassin or a Gunslinger skill book.  He wanted to give it to Luo Jin while Luo Jin wanted to give it to him.

At the end, Luo Jin won the argument and the skill book ended up with Luo Yan.  Well, how could he possibly win when the one he's arguing with was just overflowing with meng?  Glaring at him with those big red eyes and matching it with those bulging cheeks.  He was easily knocked out.

The skill he got [8th Movement Dance] had a low attacking power.  But because it only had one second cool down, he could continuously use it.  Its attack power increased each blow until the eighth hit, thus the name.  It's good for a melee fight against three to five opponents.

Luo Yan looked back at Luo Jin who just fired two consecutive shots at two monsters that was about to attack him.  He was standing in front of a carriage and protecting it.  The monsters stopped moving and then suddenly attacked each other.  Luo Jin used that chance to shoot the two monsters once again, killing them off.

If Luo Yan was not mistaken, that was the effect of his younger brother's passive Unique Skill – [Chaotic Mind].  If he hit a target at a distant range, that target would automatically fall into confusion that would last for five seconds.  According to Luo Jin, this skill could only affect a single target.  So he could only hit those targets one at a time.

In his opinion, it was a truly good passive skill.  If it could affect a group instead of just a single target, then it would even be better.  He would probably convince Luo Jin to become a Mage instead because they had a lot of group attack skills.  But then again, his brother would probably not agree.  Probably even saying at the same time that being a Mage was not manly enough.

Luo Yan guessed that that was probably also the reason why he chose Gunslinger out of all the four classes he could pick.  Because having guns as weapons was cool and manly.  Luo Jin was simple that way.  But that was also what made him cute.

As Luo Jin killed another two monsters, Luo Yan dashed forward and stabbed the last remaining monster.  Finally killing the group of monsters that suddenly ambushed them.

He gave his younger brother a thumbs up.  "Good job, Ah Jin, protecting the carriage."

Inside the carriage was a merchant NPC they had to escort safely from Olkdale Town to another village.  This was the escort task they took today.  The reward for successfully accomplishing the task was another skill book.  It's the reason Luo Yan chose this task.  So that this time, Luo Jin could have it.

They had been accepting tasks from the Task Hall for about a week now, six days to be more exact.  They teamed up for all of the tasks.  So the EXPs they got from each one were divided between them.  The rewards, on the other hand, often fell into his hands.  Because Luo Jin would always say in that tsundere like way of his that he didn't need it.

Now, they're both level 30.  Just six more levels and they could go to Matlock Town – one of the four major towns of Arcadia alongside Olkdale.  Once a player reached level 36, they could enter Matlock Town.  The remaining two towns also needed a certain level for a player to enter.

Luo Jin snorted.  "What good job, I'm just doing my part."

"Yes, yes."

Luo Jin walked towards the carriage to check on the NPC.  Luo Yan followed behind.  While doing so, he thought if there's an easier way to sift through the many tasks posted at the Task Hall.  They could be filtered based on what type of task they were.  But that's just about it. If you want to know about the rewards, you have to read each task.  It's seriously time consuming.

Then he suddenly remembered Shen Ji Yun.  When they met a week ago, he said that he could message him if he had any questions regarding the game.  Though he hadn't heard from him since.

Should Luo Yan message him then?
