Chapter 79: A date with Bai Yue!
He found some of the intermediate grade magical rune designs interesting. Their effects were impressive and could be used for various purposes. He wanted to make intermediate grade talismans based on these intermediate grade magical rune designs. But first, he familiarized himself with these intermediate grade magical rune designs.
Marvin practiced them again and again by using a normal pencil and paper until he felt confident enough to draw them out on the Perfect Quality Talisman Paper.
His eyes showed utmost confidence as his arm moved with refined movements that he has practiced for years. He was using the rank-10 elemental heart blood of two different elements and a Perfect Quality Talisman Paper to create a Wind and Fire Dual Elemental Blades intermediate grade talisman.
Shua! Hua*
Marvin's eyes lit up the moment the talisman paper shone in Emerald and Scarlet lights. Suddenly, they dimmed at an inconceivable phase and the rune designs vanished from the Perfect Quality Talisman Paper.
The Gamer has failed to refine an Intermediate Grade Talisman Paper
Durability of the Perfect Quality Talisman Paper decreased by 10 points
Durability: 90/100
"Oh," Marvin was surprised. Normally, if a person fails to create a talisman, the rank-10 talisman paper will be burned to crisp, cut into pieces, soaked wet, etc, depending on the element of Elemental heart blood or types of blood used. However, the Perfect Quality Talisman Paper was not wasted. Only its durability decreased.
Furthermore, it seemed as fresh as a new talisman. Not a single bump or ridge formed on the paper. It wasn't crinkled at the very least, and the magical rune designs he has inscribed on the talisman paper have also mysteriously vanished.
'What a great cheat item! Items made by top quality resources mixed with Life Force are indeed exceptional!!' Marvin thought with an impressed expression on his face. However, he needed to reach level 10 before he has any chance of becoming a battle master that can control Life Force at its peak. 'Whatever the goal of becoming a Battle Master and reaching its peak is a far fetched dream. I should focus on creating an intermediate grade talisman first!'
Marvin thought before decided on practicing more to gain more proficiency in creating the intermediate grade magical rune designs.
Noah advises the Gamer to train in less complicated intermediate grade magical rune designs before going for the ones with complex patterns. Otherwise, it is going to take a lot of time before the Gamer is able to successfully refine one
Noah advised the hardworking young man who was using a common pencil and paper to recreate Wind and Flame Dual Elemental Blade Intermediate grade Talisman.
"Alright, I will try to create a long-distance communication talisman."
Marvin knew that Noah was like a guide whose job was to guide him towards success. It's like a video gamer failing again and again to complete a stage, but easily completing it after watching a walkthrough video on YouTube.
He began to practice the magical rune design of the long-distance communication talisman. It was simple, and he managed to create one in ten minutes. The effect of this talisman was pretty impressive.
The talisman can be split into two pieces. Paper A and Paper B. Sound can be transmitted from Paper A to Paper B and vice versa. It was like using a smartphone for communication; however, no one will be able to sneak into your conversation.
After creating the talisman, he felt hungry, and coincidentally it also was time for lunch.
"Angelia, I got a present for you." Marvin smiled as he welcomed himself into her room with a beautiful dress in his hand.
He got various expensive clothes from Dale rings and this one was just one of them.
"Wow, It's so pretty," Angelia said, jumping with joy on the inside. Her pretty eyes marveled at the soft texture and perfect design of the dress held in her hand. "It must have cost a lot. Thank you, big brother. You are the best!"
She exclaimed and hugged him.
Marvin smiled and said, "Dress up. We'll be going out for dinner today. Plus, it's up to you to choose where we will be eating."
"Okay, I want to eat at McDonald's!" Angelia was feeling happier than ever. She'll be going out with her brother, after all.
As a gentleman, Marvin stepped out of the room and went to inform his mother and ask her if she wants to come with them or not. While Angelia dressed up as a princess.
The sound of clothes ruffling could be heard as she hurriedly changed her dress.
"Brother, how do I look?" She asked and looked at him with expectation filled eyes.
"Wow~ my sister is the prettiest!" Marvin exclaimed as Anglia has undergone a major makeover by simply wearing a luxurious dress.
Wearing a bright yellow dress decorated with floral patterns, Angelia had her slender swan-like neck exposed The sleeves of the dress reached her wrist. The net of the dress covered most of her shoulder but it couldn't hide their shine. The front and back of the dress fell like a waterfall and reached beneath her knees. When she smiled, she looked no different than the Sun.
All of this, yet not a drop of makeup was applied on her.
"I will help you wear socks and boots," Marvin said.
Angelia nodded her head. It was hard for her to wear them herself as her lower body was paralyzed. Thus, she didn't decline his help.
Marvin helped her wear white socks and a pair of small brown boots. This added a finishing touch to her dress and made her look cuter.
"Let's go," Marvin said.
"Mother is not coming?" Angelia asked.
"She is too tired," Marvin replied before pushing her wheelchair.
Then, both Marvin and Angelia went together to a restaurant as Alexa was feeling too tired to go with them.
After the meal, they returned home.
"Good night!" Angelia said after Marvin tucked her inside the bed.
"Sleep tight!" He replied before heading to the kitchen to eat again.
He was not feeling hungry just greedy. As luck would have it, Alexa created Marvin's favorite dish and he could say no to his desire of eating cheese spaghetti with chicken chunks and ground meat.
Furthermore, there was also cheese bread with tomato soup.
"Eat slowly. It's all yours!" Alexa said as she saw Marvin munching down on an unbelievable amount of spaghetti in a single bite.
"Mmnkjns* (Yes, Mom!)"
Even though he was full, he ate his favorite dishes till he had no spot left in his body.
"Thanks for the meal, mom. This is today's talisman. Sell as many of them as you can over the week. I will create more in my free time."
At night, Marvin handed over dozens of talisman to his mom and returned to his room to surf the internet to make his date with Bai Yue special.
"This seems interesting," he thought as he watched people cosplaying as different characters on the screen.

The next day, a handsome young man could be seen walking in the streets of a rich society in the lower-districts of Stronghold 69.
Knock* knock* knock*
Knocking on Bai Yue's door, Marvin waited patiently. The door opened almost immediately as if his arrival was expected.
"Ah, it's you, Marvin! It's only been some weeks since we last met but you have become more handsome. Who is the lucky girl?" Bai Yue's mother said with a smile as she saw her daughter's childhood friend.
Bai Yue has told her everything. She knows that Marvin has preyed on her little girl!
"Cough," Marvin's eyes wandered to Bai Yue who stood beside her.
Bai Yue's face blushed when she heard what her mother said. She was dressed as a man wearing a black suit. Her white inner shirt and slender neck were attractive to the eyes. The black earring that twirled around because of the wind as she stood there, added charm to her attractiveness.
"Come on, Mom. You are embarrassing us." She said before hugging Marvin's left arm and squeezing it between her arms.
"You have not married him, yet you are already protecting him! You better not bully my daughter otherwise, I won't let you off easily!" Mother Bai whispered dangerously for Marvin to hear.
"Mother-in-law, there is no need for you to worry about my wife. I will keep her safe by my side." Marvin flashed her a confident smile. He understood that she knows that he and Bai Yue were together. Thus, he made sure to her that they will be together forever.
Sparks flew about as Mother Bai and Marvin stared into each other eyes, both not backing down even a single step.
Bai Yue felt awfully embarrassed because of her overprotective mother.
"Don't mind her. Let's go," Bai Yue said.
Under the wide eyes of mother Bai, Marvin intertwined his fingers with Bai Yue's and went away.
To others, this scene looked no different than an extremely handsome gay man proclaiming his love to another extremely pretty gay man!
"Where are we going?" Bai Yue asked as she let Marvin drive her car.
"A place where you can truly be you without any problems!" Marvin gave her a mysterious answer.
Arriving at the Cosplayer Association, Bai Yue and Marvin felt slightly surprised that the building was rather fancy. It was very impressive in aesthetic design when compared to the other grandiose buildings they have seen. The Cosplayer Association building seemed more beautiful when compared to the buildings of Adventure association or the alchemist's association.
People cosplaying as various Anime, Donghua, Manhwa, and Manga characters could be seen walking outside the cosplayer association.
"So this is what you meant. In this place, I can truly be me." Bai Yue's eyes brightened up to a mesmerizing extent as she looked at the building, and she then stared at Marvin. "Thank you for this. This is the best place I could hope to be at."
In this place, she could dress up as a female character and no one will find it suspicious.
"Hehe, let's get you dressed up." Marvin flashed a smile to her before leading her inside the building.
Entering the building, the inside was very luxurious as it had a lot of decorations.
"It's so crowded," Bai Yue said.
Cosplayers, Armed men, and Decoration crowded the building, leaving a bare minimum of free space.
"Yeah, it's going to be hard to locate Geralt," Marvin said.
Yesterday, he has booked a private suite for himself and Bai Yue at this place. The name of the dealer was Geralt. He had to meet up with him to get the keys and location of his suite.
Looking around slightly, Marvin pulled out his phone to text Geralt when he couldn't find him.
Marvin: [Geralt, I'm here at the entrance of the Cosplayer association. Where are you?]
After a moment, Marvin got his reply.
Geralt: [Ok I'll be there with the keys to your booked room in just a moment.]
Geralt soon arrived and led them to their personal suite.
"What's with the armed men?" Bai Yue asked in a manly way. She was still dressed as Bai Feng and hence had to act like him.
Marvin was not disturbed by armed men because he had just returned from the fortress some days ago. Seeing armed men were common to him, but not for Bai Yue.
"It's a long story..." Geralt said.
It turns out that a few unsavory fellows wanted a taste of a beautiful cosplaying angel. But that beautiful angel was none other than the cosplaying son of the cosplayer association president. The president and the armed men taught those bastards a lesson!
"Pfft!!!!!" Marvin and Bai Yue laughed their guts out as Geralt joined in on them while leading them to their suite.
