Volume 3 Obsidian Chapter 151 Destiny Sequence 7
"The cabin is a safe house..."
Chen Lun thought of this sentence in his mind.
Looking back, it was dark outside the door, with heavy shadows from the trees, and the lumberjack was nowhere to be seen.
He put his fingers together and tapped his forehead, then raised his fist with his backhand to salute the stars. The cane returned to its original shape and was stuck on the ground.
Boom...
Looking around, the layout and scene in the wooden house are exactly the same as those in the lakeside cabin.
"Hmm... No, there's a difference."
Chen Lun suddenly discovered something and raised his eyebrows.
He walked to the table and saw that it was covered with a red velvet tablecloth, and the decorations on it were different from those in the lakeside cottage. There was an extra top hat, a pair of white gloves, and a magic wand.
A brand new box of playing cards, with two thin pieces of paper pressed inside.
There was also a pen thrown casually next to it, with the cap not tightened, as if the person who left the thing behind had left in a hurry.
Chen Lun moved the box of playing cards away and picked up the paper underneath.
His expression was slightly stunned.
"——My friend, when you see this message, I may have been dead for a long time... Oh, oh, are you secretly wiping away tears? Ahaha, there is no need to cry for me, this is just my fate...
I believe you can see that this is a fragment where I once stayed. There should be many fragments like this in Wonderland. I hope you can find them.
This can help you avoid some detours and avoid wasting your whole life like me without any breakthrough... Oh, forget it.
Keep going, and arrive at the place where I last set foot sooner, and you will understand many things, and you should have plenty of time. - Philip"
Chen Lun frowned, pondering the meaning hidden in Philip's message.
'Is this cabin a "remaining fragment"? There are many more in Wonderland...?'
He always felt that Philip was acting as a "riddler" and that many things were not explained clearly, leaving him confused.
After putting away the message, Chen Lun looked at the next piece of paper.
[Discover the mysterious knowledge of the Fate Faction (incomplete)! ]
[Destiny Faction Sequence 7 - Magician (1/4)! ]
"Sequence 7 - Magician?!"
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows.
'It's a pity that it's only a quarter, and a quarter again!'
He secretly complained , because the incomplete extraordinary knowledge he had at hand was only one-fourth.
He picked up the box of playing cards on the table, took them out and counted them casually, and found that one card was missing.
Chen Lun felt surprised and was about to check which one was missing, but then he remembered something and raised his hand to cover his left chest.
"It's the Jack of Spades..."
When he first entered Wonderland, he received authority in the lakeside cabin, and the medium was the Spade J playing card.
Chen Lun took a deep breath and an idea flashed through his mind.
"So, there are many such wooden houses in Wonderland...? Is there a handwritten letter from Philip in each wooden house? Or something else valuable? Can the remaining [Magician] sequence knowledge be collected by searching for wooden houses?"
He continued thinking along this line.
After a while.
'That's why he said in the message that this would help me avoid detours... because the process of exploring each cabin can also be regarded as a kind of practice? Experience? In-depth mastery of supernatural powers? '
Chen Lun looked at the small ornaments on the table, they were all ordinary items, so he lost interest.
He took only the deck of cards and took a last look at the cabin.
'If it's as I guessed, then the players will have one more task in the future, which is to help me find other cabins...
I opened the fairyland to help them grow and upgrade, and they also helped me explore the way in return. We helped each other, and Jiheli was very touching.'
Chen Lun sighed, and suddenly found himself in this forest cabin. He could also choose to leave the wonderland directly. Just like the cabin by the lake, this room also has the same function.
"In that case, let's go back first."
boom!
A flash of white light suddenly appeared!
Chen Lun's figure disappeared.
…
…
…
Ever since the circus's working capital dried up, Chen Lun could clearly feel that the team members were more active and energetic than before.
Maggie stayed in the fourth-floor attic all day, working tirelessly on research. She also found time to make some potions as output.
She is more anxious than anyone else now, worried that there will be no funds to continue her research.
And every time they ate together , she would always ask when the next beef would arrive. Many times, Connie had a strange expression on her face, because Maggie was too obsessed with beef and consumed it too quickly.
She secretly calculated that Maggie would use up a whole cow in ten days or half a month. This was definitely not eaten, because Connie didn't believe that such a skinny girl could eat thousands of pounds of beef in such a short time.
"Captain! Where is Noah? I need help from him!"
As soon as Chen Lun walked down the stairs, he heard Maggie calling from the living room.
"He received a commission early in the morning and went to paint for the customer..."
Chen Lun picked up a piece of freshly baked bread and stuffed it directly into his mouth, chewing it with a crunch, which made Maggie's eyes twitch slightly.
The bread was hot and hard, like a piece of red-hot iron fresh out of the oven. How could the leader eat it?!
“Speaking of which, don’t always think about letting him participate in your drug experiments. He is a core member of the team. What if he gets sick from eating?
I promised your drug testers that they may have to wait for a while, so please be patient for now."
Chen Lun spoke vaguely while chewing food.
“Hey, Captain! But Noah is the only [Flesh and Blood Faction] Transcendent in our team. There is no one more suitable than him... Don’t worry, Captain. I will convince him.”
Maggie patted the hillock and said with confidence.
Just as Chen Lun was about to say something, there was a sudden noise at the door.
"Ah, good morning, Captain! And good morning, Miss Maggie!"
Golov walked in, took off his round hat and saluted.
He looked exhausted, and was followed by four or five "manor servants", all of whom were peripheral members of the team and elite killers.
Golov has recently been frequently accepting bodyguard and escort commissions, and has been taking these "manor servants" with him to complete the tasks.
Although he didn't earn much each time, he seemed to be trying his best to show that he was contributing to the team rather than just eating for free.
This made Chen Lun very satisfied.
This kind of mature "employee", a good subordinate who knows how to manage himself, is worthy of learning for the majority of players. Chen Lun thought about how to convey this spirit of dedication to work to the players.
"You've worked hard, Golov, go eat something."
Chen Lun wiped his hands with a towel and spoke.
Golov nodded respectfully and saluted immediately. He asked the peripheral members to go to the dormitory area to rest first, and he planned to go upstairs to change clothes before coming down.
Several houses have been built in Jack Manor for members to rest. In addition, additional warehouses have been put into use, and Connie's production team has expanded again.
Chen Lun felt very happy thinking about the team's gradually increasing production capacity.
After Floyd finished making breakfast for everyone, she went upstairs to rest. She had not been sleeping at night recently.
"You two can chat first. I have a divination commission this afternoon and need to go out."
Chen Lun straightened his clothes, pulled the brim of his hat, and walked towards the door.
He stopped again, holding his silver cane, turned around and said to Maggie and the others:
"If Noah comes back first, tell him not to go out tonight... Let's have a good meal together as a team tonight. Also, I need to tell you something."
…
…
…
After Chen Lun went out, he took a carriage and went straight to the commercial street in the inner city.
Then we stopped in front of a building with high-end and exquisite decoration, with "Foil Fighting Club" written on the door.
Chen Lun got off the carriage, asked the driver to stop aside, and wait for him to come back.
Then he walked straight into the club door with his silver cane.
Today’s commission target is here.
"Hello sir, do you have an appointment?"
A young woman wearing slightly revealing clothes, holding a clipboard, walked over with a smile. When she saw Chen Lun's appearance, her eyes sparkled, and she straightened her chest, adding a touch of charm to her smile.
"Yes, Mr. Charles Wolfe and I have an appointment."
Chen Lun said with a smile.
The young woman was startled at first, and then looked puzzled, because Mr. Charles was the owner of this fighting club.
But his family name seems to be Walker, not Wolfe...
Is this gentleman in front of me mistaken?
The waitress looked through the reservation book and soon found the record. She looked surprised and said:
"There really is a record. So you are Mr. Jack... Oh, please wait a moment. I will go and inform Mr. Charles right away."
"OK."
