Clank, clank, clank…
Woo woo!
The train was moving, with thick smoke belching out of the chimney.
In a luxurious carriage at the front, Chen Lun was sitting and having a meal, with exquisite food and iced juice placed in front of him.
He was the only one in the entire carriage.
At this time, the carriage door was knocked, and the voice of Polaris came from the other side:
"Mr. Jack, it's me, North Star."
"Come in."
Polaris pushed open the door, and the entire carriage over there was filled with players, noisy and noisy, obviously they had taken over the place.
The carriage door closed and the noisy sound disappeared.
Polaris stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"Sit down."
Chen Lun pointed casually.
Polaris sat in front of him obediently, looking a little nervous.
Before setting off, he took the initiative to shout a few times, not knowing whether Mr. Jack would be angry or not. Fortunately, there was no reminder to reduce his favorability, which made him feel a little relieved.
Chen Lun took out a bottle of ordinary extraordinary wine, poured a glass for Polaris, and then gestured.
"Thanks."
Polaris drank it in one gulp and gained the corresponding benefit.
He was secretly delighted. It seemed that Mr. Jack was not unhappy. The benefits of being a "student" of his had not disappeared...or in other words, he was actually doing a good job?
Chen Lun silently looked at Polaris. He was now level 22, which was a distance away from the other players. Among the ten high-level players, he was the highest level and the strongest.
“Polaris, it seems that you haven’t slacked off during this period of time… You have made rapid progress and are already one of the stronger ones among the [Sequence 9] transcendents. Compared to the other undead, you are already ahead of them.”
Chen Lun praised.
Polaris was pleased, but waved modestly.
“It is because of Mr. Jack’s guidance that I can stand out.”
He meant what he said , it was indeed because of Jack's support that he was able to achieve the strength he has today.
This had a huge impact on him.
In reality, Polaris has saved enough money to buy his grandmother a mechanical prosthesis and is preparing to move his only relative out of the low-rent housing and move to an apartment complex with a better environment.
He even thought about making more money in the future so that he and his grandmother could live in a prosperous city like the Gorgeous City and enjoy life like those wealthy people in the upper class.
All of this is inseparable from the NPC in front of us.
It can be said that Mr. Jack changed his life.
"Since you are my student, I will not be stingy..."
Chen Lun said, putting down the cutlery in his hand and taking out a painting and a scroll.
"This is a reward from my teacher for your diligence, and also a small token of my concern."
Polaris took the two items curiously and his eyes widened immediately.
The oil painting in his hand is of Mr. Jack!
[Extraordinary Things-Jack's Character Oil Paint (Disposable Consumable)]
Item description: A man depicted by a genius painter, he has an extreme appearance, noble temperament and mysterious power.
This oil painting copied its extraordinary power, but only retained a very small part of it.
[Extraordinary Item - Snake's Hand (Magic Scroll)]
Item description: A scroll recording animal magic, from a senior animal trainer who recorded his extraordinary power in the form of magic.
Hidden within the scroll is a giant white python capable of wreaking terrible havoc.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Polaris stood up quickly, feeling excited.
He was well aware of the value of these two items and had no doubt about their power, because it was power that came from Jack himself!
Even if they only contain one tenth of Jack's power, they are still very powerful items, and this is definitely not something that can be bought with money! Except for him, no other player at this stage can obtain this "big killer weapon" and use it as their own trump card!
"Sit down."
Chen Lun smiled faintly, picked up the cutlery again, and put a piece of juicy bacon into his mouth.
"Yes, sir."
Polaris sat down again and tried to calm himself down.
"From now on, you don't have to hide your identity too much. You can proudly tell others that you are my disciple, Jackspeight."
Chen Lun said.
Polaris was slightly startled, then nodded.
"I understand, teacher."
He sat quietly for a while, and then made a request to exchange items. Polaris had saved a lot of gold pounds and contribution points during this period, so he decided to buy himself a new set of equipment. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood.
Only by investing in yourself reasonably can you get better returns. This is a truth that I, as a senior player, deeply understand. If you just save money, you will lose more opportunities.
Chen Lun did not refuse and secretly opened the interactive panel.
Polaris picked and chose, and finally bought two bombs, one red and one blue, and also bought some potions, ammunition, and fuel. While using up all his contribution points, he also spent dozens of gold pounds.
"Please ask Dongyang, Chenxi, Goutoujin and Wangwangwuji, the other nine official members, to come in and tell them that I have finished my meal and we can start exchanging items."
Chen Lun chuckled when he saw that Polaris looked like he had returned with a full load.
Polaris responded respectfully, then saluted again, picked up his backpack and turned to leave.
After a moment.
Dongyang and his companions filed in through the carriage door.
As soon as they saw Polaris' smile, they knew that this guy must have gained something from Jack again, which made them really envious and jealous.
"Mr. Jack."
Dongyang and others saluted.
Chen Lun waved his hand, and the stacked round stools beside him suddenly floated up and then formed a circle in front of them. The nine players were surprised at first, and then sat on them consciously.
"——It feels like Jack is becoming more and more mysterious."
"——bird food."
“——This move is pretty cool. I’ve recorded it. I’ll share it with other girls in the group. Hahahaha…!”
Dongyang looked at the gentleman in the black hat in front of him, and then exchanged a glance with Chenxi and others around him.
The players in the carriage were basically all members of their guilds. The equipment and props they had purchased from Jack had already been consumed by the guilds, so they needed to purchase more this time, and also to prepare for this mission.
The consortium's support for the guild is growing. Dongyang is not afraid of spending money, but he is afraid that Jack will run out of goods! He has been to Jack Manor more than once, but he couldn't buy anything from Sister Floy.
The muskets, mechanical gloves, ammunition, fuel, etc. were fine, but the number of props in the hidden column was limited, and only a little was produced every once in a while, which made him very anxious.
Moreover, he had to compete with Chen Xi and others for those limited edition products, which was extremely painful.
bite!
The golden word "Exchange" popped up above Chen Lun's head.
Several people from Dongyang clicked on it immediately and started a crazy shopping mode.
Whatever bomb it is, no matter if it’s red or blue, just bring seventy or eighty of them first!
Muskets and mechanical gloves are used as "circus suits". There are dozens of sets. Let's change them for the brothers in the carriage first! Then place an order later and keep them in the manor warehouse!
Red and blue potion bottles, a must, buy!
Wow! In the hidden column, the "Beef Power Bottle" is finally officially shipped! Buy it!
"Eh?! Why is it gone?!"
Dongyang was suddenly stunned. In just one second, the crimson potion turned directly into gray and could no longer be interacted with.
When he turned around, he saw Goutoujin and Forgotten Wuji looking at him with a grin, putting two fingers on their foreheads and saluting him.
"Zhao! These two Xiaobishan!"
Dongyang was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, but Jack was sitting in front of him, so he couldn't lose his temper.
Soon, he discovered a new type of product in the hidden column. It was a series of oil paintings, and the paintings on them were the cadres of the circus!
The price of each person's portrait is different, and Floy and Noah's are more expensive.
Just as he clicked to check, the paintings of Floy and Noah had turned gray. Dongyang was slightly stunned and felt bad. Then, without thinking, he bought all the remaining paintings of Golov and Patton.
Dongyang turned his head and saw Chenxi and Weiyin smiling at him.
"Boy, you guys are really fast!"
"Not as fast as you, Dongyang Ju. You took all the remaining ten paintings. You should be called the fast man."
Tail chuckled and spoke.
Dongyang's eyes twitched.
"When you call me, could you please not add 'giant'? It sounds like a diva... and if I'm a fast boy, then you're a tank, you old bitch, you're just pretending to be young!"
Weiyin Loli's eyes suddenly became sharp.
She held Noah's portrait in her arms and threatened:
"Do you want to be castrated? I know where you live. If you go offline, you... cough."
Taiyin glanced at Jack and found that he was turning his head to look at the scenery outside the window.
"Just wait, don't let me catch you!"
She lowered her voice and said viciously.
Dongyang was not afraid at all, and then the two of them moved to the chat room and started a series of confrontations there.
After a while.
The high-level players are almost done with their purchases.
Chen Xi said at this time:
"Mr. Jack, I want to buy some extraordinary knowledge."
Her words pulled Dongyang away from the confrontation, and he immediately said:
"I want to buy extraordinary knowledge too!"
As time went by, other players had already started to be promoted to Extraordinary Players not long ago, and the reactions of large guilds were somewhat urgent. If they wanted to maintain their leading position, they had to make the guild more powerful.
So much so that guild representatives such as Dongyang, Chenxi and Goutoujin all wanted to exchange another batch of extraordinary knowledge from Jack so that the capable cadres in the guild could become extraordinary people.
Although Jack's extraordinary knowledge is very expensive, its advantage is that it is simple, crude and direct. The consortium lacks everything except money.
Chen Lun nodded and smiled knowingly.
"no problem."
He waved his hand, and ten sequences of extraordinary knowledge appeared in the hidden column.
This time, all the high-level players unanimously set their sights on the [Beast Tamer] of the Fate faction. It was because Polaris left such a deep impression on people!
This is definitely a promising sequence!
But they soon noticed that after the entry of this extraordinary knowledge, there was a note saying “Limited Edition (3/3 remaining)”!
Only three servings!
Must get it!
Dongyang was quick this time and bought two copies in the blink of an eye, while Chenxi only got one.
Goutoujin and Forgotten Wuji came back empty-handed.
"hey-hey……!"
Dongyang was inexplicably happy. He held the two pieces of paper in his hand, showed off a little, and then put them away carefully.
Chen Xi and Goutoujin rolled their eyes at him.
They were all puzzled immediately. Although other extraordinary knowledge was also limited, there were more than a dozen copies. Why were there so few copies of the Destiny Faction?
Chen Lun felt helpless as he looked at their tangled expressions.
He did not have any of the Fate Faction's mysterious substance on hand, and these three copies were copied out of pure substance. It would be unrealistic for him to sell the Fate Faction's extraordinary knowledge on a large scale in a short period of time.
The Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce has a wide range of channels, but the only thing it cannot buy is the mysterious substance of the Destiny Faction, as it seems that the quantity is too scarce.
When Chen Lun bought mysterious substances from other sources from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce, he also paid a premium. The market price of a mysterious substance was about 50 gold pounds, and he spent 60 gold pounds per portion.
Fortunately, after consuming them and transcribing them into extraordinary knowledge, they can then resell them to players, and the profit can be increased by more than ten times, which is definitely a huge profit.
Chen Lun never gets tired of this.
'I'll try to get some mysterious substances from the Fate faction later. With Polaris helping me build momentum, more and more players will definitely want to take this path... But they don't know that the reason why Polaris is so strong is because he has my exclusive skill [Animal Mimicry]!
Once you get into this trap, you will find that you can only use [animal language] to command animals. In contrast, you will definitely feel very disappointed... Well, you have to figure it out.'
He thought to himself.
Before Dongyang and others came this time, they had obviously made sufficient preparations and brought enough money.
They bought up almost all of the extraordinary knowledge in Chen Lun's hands, and their total consumption contributed more than 50,000 gold pounds to Chen Lun's wallet.
"Another huge sum of money... However, the extraordinary knowledge of [Sequence 9] can only be sold at such a high price during this period. I can be said to have reaped the full benefits of this wave of dividends.
After a while, when the number of extraordinary players increases, the price must be gradually reduced... But by then, I can also release the extraordinary knowledge of [Sequence 8].'
Chen Lun thought.
…
…
…
Time quickly came to three days later.
The train stopped at the platform in Huangtie City. The three Red Apple Church branches were located in a small town near Huangtie City.
When Chen Lun came out of the carriage, several crew members saluted him respectfully and said goodbye with a smile.
That's the power of money.
He didn't pay much attention to it, holding his black hat and holding his silver cane, he came to the players.
"let's go."
"yes!"
Dongyang and others answered, and then each led their own family members and followed Chen Lun.
There were many other players at the train station. They were a little surprised to see this scene and had no idea what these people were going to do.
Another half day later.
They finally arrived at their first destination, Bingnuo Town.
The first impression people had after entering this small town was that it was dirty and messy!
The plague has ravaged this place so badly that the town is in a state of decay and desolation. Most of the shops have closed, and some have even been pried open and looted.
The streets had not been cleaned for a long time, and patches of black dirt that looked like blood stuck to the ground like gel. All kinds of garbage were everywhere, and incomplete old newspapers were floating in the wind.
Dongyang and his companions contacted the guild on the train and obtained maps of the three small towns in advance. The maps were sent to them by email from guild members from other places, so they knew the location of the Red Apple Church very clearly.
The group looked around and shook their heads at the desolate town.
The scene was so real that they couldn't distinguish between reality and the game for a moment.
Soon they arrived at the neighborhood closest to the church. A pungent smell of blood hit them in the face. What came into view were corpses all over the streets and players who were hunting patients of the plague.
"Mr. Jack? Are we going straight to the church, or...?"
Dongyang and others stopped and turned to ask Chen Lun.
"You decide for yourselves."
Chen Lun did not comment, but spoke softly while holding his silver cane.
At this moment, the players who were fighting also noticed the arrival of this large group of strangers. They were surprised at first, and then they looked alert and annoyed.
Several of them exchanged glances and communicated secretly.
"—Where did these people come from? Are they new to the neighborhood?"
"——I don't know, but it doesn't look like... I lost the probe and found out that they are players from the big guilds such as Yingling Pavilion, Shen'ai and Chuxi."
"——What should we do?"
"——What are you afraid of? This is our territory. No matter who comes, it won't work!"
Then, among them, a male player holding a dagger and wearing leather armor came out. He was not afraid of nearly a hundred people, but said arrogantly and coldly:
"This is the leveling ground of the Lost Name Guild. Go back to where you came from!"
"Um?!"
Dongyang and others immediately sneered.
Dongyang and Chenxi are both high-ranking members of the guild, one is the vice-president of Yingling Pavilion, and the other is the president Chuxi. Now they are a little annoyed by the arrogant attitude of a small character from the other side.
But they knew that the other side had significantly fewer people than their own, yet they were not afraid. It was obvious that they had something to rely on, which gave them the confidence.
"We are not here to level up, nor will we compete with you for monsters... We are just passing by, you can continue to farm your monsters."
Dongyang said.
"Just passing by? Who would believe that?"
The disgraced player sneered.
"There are so many of you here, are you bored enough to come here for a stroll?"
Another person beside him took over the conversation and said coldly:
"You can't get through here! I warn you again, leave immediately, otherwise don't blame us for being rude! We are all from the three major guilds, who is afraid of who?"
Dongyang and others looked gloomy.
They knew from the map that they could take a detour to the church, but in the current situation, it was obvious that the town had been occupied by the Lost Name Guild, so there was no point in taking a detour.
The players from the Lost Name Guild stopped fighting, gathered together, and looked at Dongyang and his team with unfriendly expressions. The two sides were in a standoff.
The guy who spoke first opened his mouth and wanted to continue talking, but the next second -
Bang!
Dense blood bloomed on his chest, and then his eyes widened and he fell to the ground seriously injured.
boom!
Another flame as big as a basketball fell on him. The sizzling sound of barbecue was accompanied by screams, and the man turned into white light and disappeared.
Everyone present was shocked and turned around to see Polaris indifferently wearing mechanical gloves and holding a musket.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just get started!"
