Chapter 10 Don’t even think about living
late at night.
At the westernmost end of Emerald Town, there stands a tall and solemn Gothic building with two angel reliefs on the outer wall of the spire at the top.
The angels hold a fruit basket filled with red apples from the harvest, and they surround a goddess whose face cannot be seen clearly in the middle.
A brown-haired old man in a crimson robe walked slowly down the deserted street.
He wore a golden apple pendant on his chest and held a large tome of scripture in his hands.
The old man finally stopped at the door of the church.
"There are many believers in the Moon, so if a few of them are missing, it doesn't matter, right..."
He chuckled and took out a glass bottle the size of his little finger from his arms, which was filled with about two-thirds of blood.
The blood rolled gently in the glass bottle, emitting dim, shiny bubbles.
“I hope it likes this delicious food.”
The old man stepped onto the steps and strode into the church.
…
Pah pah pah!!
The next morning, Chen Lun was awakened by a slap from Brother Will.
Well, actually he had woken up a long time ago, but he had to go through the whole process and couldn't give up halfway on the last day.
However, Chen Lun said that he could not be beaten in vain, so he made another note of this Brother Will in his little notebook.
"Lazy pig! Get up! It's time to finish your great work!"
Brother Will looked at the foolish young man and kicked him twice in disgust.
"Let's go."
He straightened his monk's robe and left the prison with his head held high.
Floy pursed her lips and glanced at Chen Lun, then followed him with a cold expression.
call out!
The man with a mustache whistled, and Chen Lun smiled foolishly and walked out obediently.
When everyone entered Basement No. 7 again, Chen Lun suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave.
What a great place to level up, but we’re about to leave.
He was very familiar with the work flow, and immediately went to work after hearing the signal.
Pretending to be controlled, he obediently walked up to the altar and read his notes. His seriousness made him a model sacrifice.

Hey , friend, I believe you have read my works and learned my skills.
You're welcome. I just want to benefit more people and let them experience a different and wonderful life...
I don’t know why, but every time Chen Lun sees Philip’s message, he has an impulse to be violent.
He turned to the back of the notebook and the contents of the diary were nearing the end.
"February 4, 4407 of the Solar Calendar, cloudy... Ahaha, that old guy Queller is indeed a big shot in the stinky rat group. After he transformed, I am no match for him.
[Gargoyle Skin] has too much of a restraint on me, not to mention it is one level higher than me..."
“…They stole everything from my teacher, honor, status and even power!
They are the most disgusting thieves in the world!"
"But I may not have the chance to take revenge because I am dying...
In order to kill me, those stinky rats are really willing to spend money!
Countless alchemical potions worth hundreds of gold pounds were thrown at my face. Oh my god, my handsome looks were ruined!"
“…Perhaps this is destiny. After embarking on this extraordinary path of [Destiny Faction], I knew this day would come.
I really miss the days of traveling, dear Maggie, I will miss you. - Philip"
“…”
“…”
"Oh, by the way, I hid all my savings and the extraordinary things I collected over the years in the ground in the backyard of Viscount Pompey's house. I dug a -"
The diary ends here abruptly, with the ink trace leaving a long diagonal line, as if the writer's hand was dragging the pen down.
Chen Lun closed his notebook and sighed.
The time span in the diary is quite long, almost 8 years from the beginning to the end.
It also records the adventurous journey of this stranger named Philip after he stepped into the mysterious and extraordinary path.
It's so sad! It makes people sigh!
"I just don't know if Philip's inheritance is still there..."
Chen Lun thought so.
He remembered that the public beta of version 1.0, which was the official start of the game, was in the year 4419 of the solar calendar.
Counting back one year and one month, we conclude that the current time is approximately 4418 in the solar calendar.
In other words, the contents recorded in this diary are all outdated data from ten years ago, and no one knows what happened during this period.
[Trigger C-level hidden mission: Philip's Legacy]
Mission description: According to the contents of the mission item [Philip's Diary], Philip had already anticipated his own death.
On the eve of the battle, he hid all his savings over the years in the backyard of Viscount Pompeii's house in Amber City.
Do you want my treasure? If you want it, I'll give it to you!
Go find it, I put it all there!
Mission Reward: Unknown.
“…”
Chen Lun accepted the task, and immediately felt that his ability to complain was no longer effective.
He just wanted to know the real reason why Philip was killed, whether it was because he attracted too much hatred.
Brother Will saw Chen Lun close his notebook, walked forward expectantly, and motioned for Floy to start writing at any time.
"Very good, it seems that all the notes have been deciphered..."
He smiled cruelly.
"Sister, after he finishes dictating the last part of his notes, take him to Basement 4.
Feeding it to the plant can be considered as recycling waste..."
"Yes, Brother Will."
Floy turned her head and looked at him, but a strange expression appeared on her pretty face.
Will's smile froze and he couldn't help frowning.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Sister?"
Floy did not answer him.
Will suddenly realized something and turned his head sharply.
Whoosh!!
Snapped!!
After the sharp whistling sound of breaking wind, there was a crisp snapping sound.
Will only saw a blurry afterimage, and the next second he was strangled by the black-haired young man's hand.
What was creepy was that the other person's arm was like a wriggling snake, which contrary to common sense, wrapped around his neck again and again and locked tightly.
【Animal Imitation LV1】
[Snake Incarnation]
[You learn to temporarily contort your body like a snake, as well as some of its other serpentine traits.]
Will watched Chen Lun's silly smile disappear, with only a blank expression on his face, and immediately realized that he had been deceived.
The other party was not manipulated at all!
These days, I've been acting and pretending!
Then when did he acquire such powerful strength...?
Yes, that notebook!
"Uh uh uh……!"
Will wanted to speak, his eyes widened and reddened in reluctance, but he couldn't utter a single word.
A feeling of suffocation surged over his head, making him fall into incomparable fear.
He grabbed Chen Lun's snake arms with both hands and beat them hard, but it was of no use at all.
"I really want to thank you for driving all the guards away to keep it secret... It saved me a lot of effort."
Snap!!
Chen Lun exerted force on his hands, and the snake arm that had wrapped around Will several times suddenly pulled, instantly twisting Will's neck.
【－58】
Bright red fatal damage popped out from Brother Will's head, and his life bar was emptied instantly.
Brother Will fell to the ground with a thud.
His body was facing downwards, but his head was turned over and facing upwards, and the posture looked very strange.
