Volume 2 Amber Chapter 109: The Five Shocked Players
“It’s really possible…”
Chen Lun was secretly delighted.
There was originally one characteristic memory slot left, and the [Hell Resistance] I gained now just filled it up, like the last piece of a puzzle.
"The characteristics of this 'demon worm' supernatural creature are indeed very strong!"
He put his palm into the magma, but was not hurt. It felt like just a slightly hot and sticky porridge.
He grabbed a piece of magma and let the red liquid slowly slide through his fingers, with a hissing sound accompanied by a little green smoke.
"Yeah... but it will still burn you over time, so you're not completely immune."
Chen Lun began to feel a slight pain, so he shook off the lava on his hands.
Even so, he was very satisfied.
"With it, the strength of the 'Giant Snake Form' will be greatly improved... But I can feel that the current [Animal Mimicry] has reached its limit. For the time being, it can only store the characteristics of an extraordinary creature."
Chen Lun thought.
I concentrated my mind and communicated with the statue. From the feedback, I roughly learned that there were only 219 points of stored sanity left.
"We have used up almost half of our reserves. Let's just leave it at that for this exploration. We need to keep enough sanity in case of emergency."
Chen Lun made up his mind and followed the instructions, using his mind to connect to the wooden house by the lake.
He slowly closed his eyes and felt the air suddenly stagnate.
The next second, I opened my eyes and found myself back in the wooden house.
Chen Lun was surprised at first, then he chuckled.
"This feeling is almost the same as 'Downtown'... Let's go back."
boom!
A flash of white light appeared.
Suddenly I came to my senses and found myself lying on the bed.
Holding the book "Philip's Adventures in Wonderland" in my hand, the moonlight outside the window shone quietly in.
Chen Lun let out a long sigh and put the old book in his hand into the [Awakening] bookmark to nourish it. At the same time, he had a concern in his mind: what should he do if the sanity in the statue is exhausted?
He turned over and began to think:
"This book is an important foundation for me to gradually become stronger... On weekdays, when I have nothing to do, I might be able to store my sanity in it. With the recovery boost from Maggie's Tears, as long as I don't store too much at once, it shouldn't be a problem."
There was no better solution for the time being, so Chen Lun decided to treat himself as a "human power bank".
Immediately, a vague plan emerged in his mind, but he couldn't figure it out for the time being. However, his strong intuition told him -
Future players may be the fuel for my rapid growth...
…
…
…
The next day.
Inner city, Garden Hotel.
A group of five people from Polaris arrived here early. They looked at each other and then walked towards the gate.
"Excuse me sir, your attire does not meet the entry standards."
Two security guards at the door stopped Polaris and his group.
The security guard looked alert as he examined the men and women. Because of a murder that happened not long ago, his superiors had instructed them to strengthen the screening efforts. The five people in front of him were very suspicious, especially the three men at the back, who were wearing cheap and worn clothes and didn't look like they could afford to spend money here.
Following the security guard's line of sight, Polaris and Su Keying turned around and looked at the three centaurs behind them. They were still dressed in low-class clothes, with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
"——(speechless expression) How come everything in this game is the same as the real world, even the gatekeeper looks down on others?"
Group chat communication, horse people send messages.
"——How about you three go to a nearby clothing store and buy some decent clothes?"
Su Keying replied.
"——We can't afford it! Any set of clothes costs several silver medals. We can't afford it even if we kill us! Why don't we just wait outside...?"
Goutoujin said.
"——Then you three wait outside. Su Keying and I will go in... If you don't get the mission, don't blame me for not reminding you."
North Star said.
The three centaurs looked at each other, feeling unwilling.
If it's really like what Polaris said, if we miss this important mission, we will lose a lot.
“——You two have enough money, can you lend it to us first? When the public beta is launched, we will pay you back double. We guarantee it in the name of our guild and we will never break our promise! You can take a screenshot! (Handshake emoji)”
Forgotten Wuji sent a message.
"——No. (crying expression)"
“——No.”
The three centaurs clenched their fists immediately.
Just when they were at a loss, a young man who looked like a waiter walked out of the lobby, whispered something to the two security guards, showed a silver badge, and pointed at them.
"Excuse me, it turns out that you are all distinguished guests with an appointment. Please come in."
The security guard's attitude changed immediately and he took off his hat and saluted respectfully.
The Polaris group was a little surprised, but since they could pass, they glanced at each other and walked straight in.
When they entered the first-floor lobby of the Garden Hotel, they were secretly surprised by the spacious and bright environment, coupled with the luxurious decoration.
It will probably take quite some time after the public beta test before only a small number of players can set foot in such a place.
The waiter led the way and soon arrived at the back of the lobby. He stopped, with a professional smile on his face, and extended his hand to point to a seat in the corner.
Everyone looked in the direction the waiter pointed, and saw a man in a black suit and black hat, sitting there with his head down, quietly waiting. The noise around him seemed to have nothing to do with him, with a silver cane leaning against his hand, and an indescribable sense of mystery and silence came over him.
"Please take a seat."
The dark-haired man raised his head and gestured politely.
Several players suddenly discovered that the other party was not Mr. Jack, but an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
"Don't be surprised, it's me."
Chen Lun brushed his face gently, regaining his original ridiculously handsome appearance, and smiled at them.
This is a [D-level weird item - Starlight Veil] that Noah lent him. It can change one's appearance to conceal one's identity.
The five members of the North Star heaved a sigh of relief, and sat down opposite him one by one like good children. Then they sat upright, not daring to move .
"——Every time I see him, I think of the scene where he was killed in seconds. I feel numb. (Speechless expression)"
Gold nugget sent a text message .
"——Do you think this NPC will be a villain boss after the public beta?"
The centaur made a guess.
"——It's not impossible... If that's the case, wouldn't we be intervening in the main storyline in advance?"
Forget Wuji said.
Others became secretly excited, feeling that they would become witnesses or even promoters of a major historical moment.
"I asked you to come here this time because I need your help with a small matter."
Chen Lun waved his hand across his face again, turning into an ordinary middle-aged man, and spoke softly.
Hearing his words, the five players' heartbeats suddenly quickened.
At this time, the waiter brought coffee and snacks, placed them on the table, and handed the silver badge back to Chen Lun. The latter accepted it and placed the two silver cups in the waiter's palm.
The waiter smiled with joy, thanked respectfully, bowed and left.
"What is it, Master Jack? Please tell us. We will definitely do our best!"
Polaris said in a deep voice.
Chen Lun chuckled and took a sip of coffee.
"I want to destroy the Red Apple Church in Amber City..."
"!!!"
The five players had expressions of shock on their faces.
[Trigger the B-level hidden serial mission: The Broken Amber Apple! ]

“——Take off immediately! Hahaha!”
"——What are you waiting for? Hurry up and accept the mission!!"
