Volume 2 Amber Chapter 66: Inexplicable Hostility
boom!
A ball of flame with black smoke hit the steel plate, burning it black in an instant, and the hot air waves pushed away in all directions.
boom!!
Then another ball of fire came, this time the fire condensed into a fire bomb the size of a basketball, which hit the steel plate with a bang, sticking to it and burning continuously like a maggot on the tarsal bone.
After a few minutes, the flames went out, and the steel plate was burned red, leaving some pits and melted marks on the surface.
"Good job, Connie."
Chen Lun looked at the mechanical gloves on his hands and gave a sincere compliment.
Connie's originally nervous expression instantly turned into joy.
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Jack. This is the first replica I tried to make based on the drawing, and I thought it was a failure."
At the door of the small manor warehouse.
Chen Lun and Connie are testing the new weapons they have produced.
It looks slightly different from the previous Crazy Hand, with more textures on the surface, and many precise gears and some small mechanical devices can be seen under the reinforced glass.
【Unnamed－Mechanical Gloves】
Item description: A very talented craftsman imitated and made a weapon based on an oil painting of a [weird creature].
It can spit out flames, or in high-power mode, fire high-temperature fire bombs. With special synthetic fuel, it can attach to the target and cause continuous burning damage.
Turn your hand and sparks will appear; turn your hand again and everything will be burned to ashes.
"No, it worked out great, Connie."
Chen Lun smiled, took off his gloves and handed them back to Connie.
"Since it's your work, you can name it."
Connie seemed surprised, and then said with a little excitement:
"Mr. Jack, let's call it 'Connie No. 1'! Those famous creations in history are named after their creators, and I also want to..."
As she spoke, Connie became a little embarrassed and her voice became lower.
Chen Lun couldn't help but smile.
He nodded and agreed to the name of the new gloves. Although it was not very nice, it was the greatest respect for Connie.
【Connie No. 1 - Mechanical Gloves】
"Very good Connie, you can take this money, it's the reward you deserve."
Chen Lun took out a small purse containing a dozen gold pounds. Connie wanted to refuse, but was forcefully stuffed into her hand.
"Your sweat and hard work shouldn't be erased, Connie."
Chen Lun smiled at her and continued:
"I have already made arrangements with the Yellow Iris Academy. You will be able to study there in a few days...
When you have time, please arrange for the craftsmen to continue to build "Connie No. 1". In addition, some trumpet guns and ammunition also need to be produced..."
Chen Lun gave an order and left the small manor.
Connie looked at his back and clenched her purse tightly with emotion.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down, Mr. Jack!"
…
Walking on the road, Chen Lun saw that there were more patrolling police officers than usual.
This is due to the death of Councillor Daniel.
Chen Lun thought with a gloomy face.
Things seemed to be developing in a direction he had not expected. Senator Daniel, who was supposed to die in two years, was assassinated ahead of schedule.
Who is the murderer? Could it be Dolly, the big eater?
What caused the butterfly effect?
Did he flap his wings accidentally?
There were too many missing clues and puzzle pieces, and Chen Lun found it difficult to infer the full picture for a while.
But he knew that this matter was closely related to the Iron Fist Gang. Remember what Senator Daniel's butler, Federman, said before he died...
Perhaps it was because of him that he cut off the control of the people behind the scenes over the Iron Fist Gang and the group of craftsmen, thus affecting a series of subsequent events.
After all, this is the matter he is involved in and the one that has the greatest connection with Congressman Daniel.
"If an enemy comes, we must stop him; if a flood comes, we must block it with earth."
Chen Lun let out a sigh of relief.
It can be seen from his decision to save Floy that Chen Lun is not afraid of the butterfly effect.
It is a cowardly act to cling to the advantage of "omniscience" in order to ensure the direction of the plot. Since you have traveled to this world and chosen to follow your heart, you must move forward fearlessly.
Chen Lun can profit from his familiarity with the plot, and he is not afraid that the world line will shift due to his intervention.
Because he believes in himself.
…
Rebecca doesn't want to go to class today.
She pestered her parents for a long time and finally convinced them to take a day off.
On the lawn in the backyard of the manor.
Rebecca sat on the swing, staring at Mr. Jack who was reading a book. Floy was playing with the little white cat at the table, and she could hear her laughter from the interaction with the cat from time to time.
The bright but not dazzling sunshine shines down, and the manor has a leisurely scene.
[By reading carefully, you gained 195 experience points]
[The mysterious book of the Star Faction "Please Observe Patiently" (progress 100%) has been read through! 】
[You get an extra 1 skill point and 1 attribute point]
Chen Lun let out a long sigh and put down the book in his hand.
This was the second book containing extraordinary knowledge that he had found after a thorough search in his study these days.
Although he failed to find evidence that Viscount Pompey had obtained Philip's inheritance, the acquisition of extraordinary knowledge alleviated his depression a little.
"I have already taken all the benefits from the only two pieces of extraordinary knowledge in the study..."
Chen Lun was secretly happy.
In addition to experience points and skill points, he also mastered a new sequence path, [Star Faction] [Sequence 9 - Hunter].
Counting the extraordinary knowledge in my hands, I found that it had reached four parts without realizing it.
Stars, Earth, Nature and Destiny...
Two sequence paths for the seven gods and two hidden sequence paths will give players more choices.
Chen Lun thought that while other players were struggling to pursue the path to transcendence, the players who met him were struggling to decide which one to choose.
I'm really looking forward to that scene.
"Miss Rebecca, Master Vigere is back, and the Viscount wants you to come over."
Butler Binoz came to the backyard, bowed to Chen Lun's Floy, and then said to Rebecca.
"I understand, Mr. Butler."
Rebecca said.
She declined Binozzi's help and looked at Chen Lun, expectantly asking:
"Mr. Jack, can you push me over?"
"At your service, Miss Rebecca."
Chen Lun packed up the books, walked over and gently carried Rebecca into the wheelchair.
Mr. Jack is so strong!
His embrace is so warm!
Rebecca looked intoxicated. Floy came over with the little white cat in her arms, and her tail accidentally brushed Rebecca's face.
“A-choo!”
Rebecca sneezed and immediately covered her face in shame.
Oh my god! Goddess Moon!
I...I actually behaved so disrespectfully in front of him!
So embarrassing!
Mr. Jack won't laugh at me! ?
The expected laughter did not come, and Rebecca felt the wheelchair under her start to move.
He turned his head and looked quietly, only to find that Miss Floyd was giving him an apologetic look.
…
Everyone came to the Viscount's villa.
After Chen Lun entered the hall, he saw Viscount and Viscount Pompey chatting with a young man on the sofa.
"Rebecca, don't you say hello to your brother when you see him?"
The brown-haired young man stood up and walked over, smiling at Rebecca.
"Ah...Brother Vigre."
Rebecca said.
The young man turned to look at Chen Lun and stretched out his hand.
"You are Rebecca's tutor, Mr. Jack?
I heard from my father about you. Thank you for teaching Rebecca and for helping at Cuiti Zoo."
Chen Lun shook hands with him and his eyes fixed.
Then he smiled politely as usual:
"That's what I should do, Mr. Vigere."
After the two sat down, Viscount Pompey introduced Chen Lun:
"I told you before about my adopted son Vigeri. This is a routine vacation, so I came back to visit."
The young man smiled and nodded at Chen Lun.
However, alarm lights went on in Chen Lun's heart.
At the moment of shaking hands just now, he received a hint——
[Vigray's favorability towards you has decreased and is currently hostile! ]
Not only that, he also felt a strong threat from this young man.
He is an extraordinary person!
The brown-haired young man looked at Chen Lun and thought the same thing.
He sneered to himself.
"It must be you..."
When he came back this time, he clearly felt that Viscount and Viscount Pompey were far less enthusiastic about him than before, and even Rebecca seemed a little distant.
This made him angry, as if something that belonged to him had been taken away by someone else.
"Is Mr. Jack staying at the manor temporarily now?"
Vigere smiled.
"I will visit you after dinner... to ask you for advice on literature."
