“Teacher, this…?!”
Polaris was very surprised.
Chen Lun saw his expression and understood.
'It seems that my assumption is correct... The [Jingzhe] bookmark contains "Philip's Adventures in Wonderland". The seed, as a medium, can naturally connect the holder to the wonderland.'
He nodded toward Polaris in affirmation.
Polaris was overjoyed and selected "Yes" on the panel prompt box.
boom!
The seed blossomed into an illusion of a book, casting countless white lights.
The next second, Polaris' eyes rolled up and his body fell limply onto the sofa.
He has entered wonderland!
Chen Lun closed his eyes and used his authority to observe the scene in the fairyland through his mind. Looking down, the location of the North Star was right on the lawn of the lakeside cottage.
At this time, Polaris looked confused and looked around. He found that he had never been to this place before.
"Let's do another test with the North Star..."
Chen Lun thought.
The next second, Polaris suddenly saw a golden exclamation mark pop up on the grape vine in front of the cabin.
"Hmm? Grapevine sent out a mission?"
Polaris looked confused.
He walked up and interacted with the vines.
[Trigger D-level task: Watering! ]
Task Description: Go to the lake to fetch water and return to water the grapevines.
Mission reward: 250 experience points and 2 silver medals.
"What kind of mission is this..."
Polaris complained, but still accepted the mission honestly.
Although the reward is small, the task is so simple that it is almost like getting it for free.
"You're a bastard if you don't take advantage of an opportunity!"
Polaris chuckled.
Chen Lun secretly watched the North Star and found that his sanity was being drained all the time in this area and stored in the statue of Maggie.
Apart from the needs of maintaining the wonderland, there is still a surplus.
But after all, there is only one person, and the accumulation speed is very slow.
"It is indeed possible to accept the mission..."
Chen Lun was somewhat delighted.
'Let's try to see if we can open the exchange interaction to players... If possible, then every player with the 'Seed of Wonderland' can use the lakeside cabin as a quest hall and come in anytime and anywhere to buy things and take quests.
Even if players do not buy tickets to enter maps such as the Natural Forest and Kazt Town, they still need to consume sanity points and contribute them to me in this safe area.
It not only makes things convenient for them, but also brings me a huge amount of sanity gains.'
After fetching water, Polaris carefully watered the grape vines.
After finishing the work, I received a prompt box indicating that the task was completed.
"Isn't this better than killing monsters? If I can do some small tasks like this every day, I will definitely get the experience points needed to level up, and it will save time and effort."
Polaris sighed.
The next second, he saw the golden word "Exchange" pop up above the grape vines.
“Huh?!”
Polaris was stunned again.
"The grapevine can be exchanged for things? Did it evolve because I watered it?"
He clicked on the "Exchange" panel and was surprised to find that the columns above were all exclusive products of the circus, exactly the same as those at Mr. Jack's.
Polaris tried to exchange for a batch of ammunition, and looked at his hand with some surprise, and a small box appeared out of thin air.
"It really works...!"
Chen Lun opened his eyes in the living room, and a flash of surprise passed across his eyes.
Immediately, he held his chin in his hand and thought.
"If that's the case..."
…
…
…
The North Star has returned to the world.
He was still immersed in the experience just now, and told Chen Lun with a sense of accomplishment that his hard work in watering the grape vines in the lakeside cabin had given them new functions.
"Oh? Really... Good job, Northstar."
Chen Lun did not expose the truth. Instead, he gave a polite smile and expressed his appreciation for Polaris .
"teacher."
Polaris handed the "Seed of Wonderland" in his hand back to Chen Lun.
There was a look of reluctance on his face, because this little thing had already shown him many conveniences.
If I had it, even if I didn't come to Jack Manor, I could enter Wonderland anytime and anywhere and exchange for what I wanted.
You can even buy a "ticket" directly at the lakeside cabin, enter the Dark Forest and the town of Kazt, and fight monsters.
"Polaris, as my student, you will naturally receive special treatment."
Chen Lun smiled slightly.
"Here, give me your token of official membership in the circus."
Polaris was startled for a moment, then obediently took off the silver snake ring on her finger.
Chen Lun pinched the silver snake ring between two fingers, and with his other hand he brought the "Seed of Fairyland" closer, while exerting the power of [Qingzhe].
The green light shone brightly, and the seed of wonderland was split into two and was directly embedded in the "snake eye" of the silver snake ring.
The emerald green snake pupils became even brighter and more mysterious, dazzling!
"Your token has been integrated with the 'Seed of Wonderland'. You can use it to contact me in the future... and it also has a 'healing' effect. You only need to consume your sanity to recover from your injuries."
Chen Lun handed the upgraded silver snake ring back to Polaris.
The latter showed a look of surprise on his face.
After Polaris put on the Silver Snake Ring, he tried to cut himself and then activated its power.
As his sanity increased, Silver Snake's eyes glowed green, and the wound on his arm slowly stopped bleeding and scabbed. Although the effect was not strong, and even not as good as the "Blood Bottle", it could not be denied that this was a very practical function.
This is equivalent to carrying a "healing spell" with you!
Chen Lun watched quietly from the side.
He discovered that the vitality of the "Qingzhe Seed" was actually transmitted from the [Qingzhe] bookmark, and the effect was only one percent.
But the amount of sanity that Polaris "pays" remains the same.
This means that the remaining 99 percent was all earned by Chen Lun as "profit".
'Great... I am indeed a kind person! With the new version of the Silver Snake Ring, players no longer have to worry about not being able to afford potions when they are injured. They only need to consume a little bit of sanity to heal their injuries.
It can also serve as an exclusive credential for the circus, allowing players to access the lakeside cabin in the mission hall, where they can accept missions, buy things, and go to dungeons.
I have given so much to the players.'
Chen Lun sighed secretly.
He turned to look at the North Star, pretending to be tired, and said in a deep voice:
"Polaris, each 'Fairyland Seed' is extremely precious and will consume a lot of my power..."
Polaris immediately stood up, bowed to him, and said respectfully:
"Thank you for the gift, teacher!"
"Um……"
Chen Lun nodded with satisfaction, and then said:
"So if the tokens of other official members want to get the upgrade and optimization of the 'Seed of Wonderland' like you, they must make due contributions..."
Polaris was listening to Chen Lun's words when he suddenly received a task reminder.
[Trigger D-level mission: Call! ]
Mission description: Mr. Jack has developed a new mysterious power that can upgrade and optimize the Silver Snake Ring, allowing every official member to enter the wonderland anytime and anywhere and go to a "transit station" - the lakeside cabin.
There, many functions can be provided, such as "accepting tasks", "exchanging items" and "deepening into wonderland".
But this ability has yet to be developed and tested, so we need your help!
Mission objective: Deliver this message to every official member of the circus, and have them each select 10 undead strangers as "experimental subjects" to enter the "lake house" and stay there for a total of 30 minutes to complete the mission.
Mission Reward: 2000 experience points, 5 gold pounds and Jack's favorability. Other official members: Silver Snake Ring is upgraded.
"Teacher, make sure you complete the task!"
Polaris said with a solemn vow.
…
…
…
Chen Lun looked at Polaris's departing back.
A relieved smile appeared on his face.
Although upgrading the Silver Snake Ring for Dongyang Chenxi and the others is a win-win situation, the current sanity value reserved by the Maggie statue is only over 300, which is not enough to support him to produce too many "Qingzhe Seeds".
That's why he needed Polaris to call on other high-level players to send players from their respective guilds to enter the lakeside cottage in Wonderland and provide him with sanity points.
In name it is "testing" and "research", but in reality, it is just taking advantage of players' sanity for free without spending a penny.
'Although the number of people required is a bit too much, it is reasonable for me to charge a little more for the production cost.'
Chen Lun stroked his chin.
After the previous task of "destroying three Red Apple Church branches", dozens of "mature" players accumulated enough contribution points, obtained the Silver Snake Ring, and became new members of the circus.
However, if he wants to upgrade the tokens of all these players, the required sanity points would be at least three to four thousand, which Chen Lun cannot do for the time being.
But he believed.
With the tasks conveyed by the North Star, these high-level players will "call friends", "use threats and inducements" or even "sell their bodies" to upgrade the tokens, and persuade other players to go to the lakeside cabin to help them complete their performance.
'The plan to fully benefit the circus players will soon be successfully completed.'
Chen Lun thought so.
After dinner.
He called Connie and asked her to find a sculpture shop with a good reputation in the inner city and customize a marble statue for him.
The template was based on the portrait Noah had drawn of himself.
In addition, he asked the craftsmen in the manor to make a few metal signs for him.
Connie nodded in agreement, but before leaving, she blushed and whispered:
"Mr. Jack, is it a nude art statue? Ah, although it's unladylike to say this, Mr. Noah's painting can really show off your figure."
"Um?"
Chen Lun frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with Connie's words.
He immediately frowned and asked Connie a few questions. Seeing this, the latter immediately panicked and told her about Maggie taking her to "appreciate paintings" before.
"This guy Noah..."
Chen Lun covered his face with one hand and took a deep breath.
Connie was trembling with fear. She looked at Mr. Jack and thought he was angry.
But Chen Lun was not angry, he was just a little depressed.
Because he knew that Noah had no ill intentions, it was just Noah's character of pursuing beauty, or it could be said to be the painter's paranoia... What's more, in Noah's eyes, or even in the eyes of people of this era, nude portraits were not something shocking.
Appreciating art is not shabby...
Chen Lun could understand it, but he found it somewhat hard to accept.
"Okay Connie, go ahead and do your work. Finish what I said as soon as possible."
Chen Lun waved his hand gently.
Connie lifted the hem of her skirt, bowed her head, and knelt down, then left in a hurry.
" What are these things..."
Chen Lun sighed helplessly.
"It's a good thing I asked, otherwise when every player goes to the lakeside cabin, the first thing they see is my naked statue... Damn it."
…
…
…
We still need to be patient in order to instruct
Chen Lun came to the backyard of the manor alone.
Next he wanted to test his new skills and equipment.
After completing Mr. Byers's mission [Wolf and Orchid], he obtained a sword skill whose name sounds very powerful - [Byers Ultimate Sword - Orchid]!
And his most powerful weapon, the silver cane, was also forged and strengthened by Arnold, and upgraded from the original [C-level monster] to a [B-level monster].
He is looking forward to the combination of the two to see if there will be any wonderful surprises.
[Byers Ultimate Sword - Orchid LV1]
Skill Description: The extraordinary swordsmanship created by the Moonlight Black Knight Byerswolf is the ultimate swordsmanship that was born after years of fighting and combining his own sequence path.
Able to attach the power of death to the sword, continuously increasing the sharpness and power of swordsmanship, and granting the power to slash souls.
In memory of Youlan, Wolf named his swordsmanship after his deceased wife.
If lovesickness can also cause sleep, then it will be cut off and forgotten by the oath.
"A kind of 'enchanted' sword skill? It increases the power of swordplay and can cut souls... It really deserves the title of 'ultimate sword'."
Chen Lun swung the silver cane in his hand.
clang!!
Sparks flew.
The viper head on the crank suddenly opened its mouth, revealing two fangs, and its eyes shone brightly.
The silver cane deformed with a click, and instantly became a straight and slender silver sword, two fingers wide and one meter and two meters long. The sword body was extremely shiny, and it was dotted with starlight, dazzling and bright.
Chen Lun immediately used the [Ultimate Sword - Orchid], and the entire silver sword was stained with purple light. He could even feel a slight threat from it. If he was cut by this sword, he would probably suffer irreparable injuries.
'Add some!'
Chen Lun opened the panel and recited silently in his heart.
This sword skill has five levels, but each level consumes 2 skill points, which is worthy of the word "ultimate" in its name.
Fortunately, Chen Lun had 23 skill points in reserve. After spending 8 points, [Ultimate Sword - Youlan] was upgraded to the maximum level.
bass!
The purple light on the silver sword became even more brilliant, even like a blazing fire, rising up and swaying constantly, with a terrifying momentum!
Chen Lun's eyes focused, he took a step forward and entered the spiritual world.
The surrounding scene was suddenly covered with a blurry blue mask, and he could finally swing his sword without restraint.
call out!!
The silver sword in his hand suddenly extended from its original length of one and a half meters to a four or five meter long "silver snake" in an instant, with purple flames, winding across a big tree.
There was a slight hissing sound.
The two men were hugging a thick tree, but it was immediately cut in half.
With a loud bang, the big tree fell down, and began to wither and blacken at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into fine black sand.
Chen Lun's eyes narrowed.
'This power... is very strong! And in snake sword form, the sword moves are unexpected, it is easy for the opponent to be stabbed... Even if it is a tower shield and armor, my sword can bypass the defense and find a gap! '
He exhaled a breath of foul air, and his forehead was slightly sweaty.
"It's just that the Ultimate Sword consumes too much energy. With my 900 points of energy, I can only maintain it for a few minutes at most."
Whoosh...clang!
The silver sword was recovered and returned to its original state.
Chen Lun made a sword flower, then held the sword in both hands and raised it.
Click!
The viper head at the curved handle suddenly extended, spiraled around the hilt, and finally opened its big mouth and bit the sword.
The silver sword, which was two fingers wide, suddenly became as wide as a palm. The sword body seemed to be spit out from the mouth of a viper and grew to a length of 1.8 meters.
Greatsword form!
Chen Lun held the sword with both hands. He looked at the purple flames rising from the sword and remembered what Arnold had said to him... The silver sword in this form could temporarily integrate multiple extraordinary powers.
Next second.
The leather glove on his right hand suddenly spit out an extraordinary flame, which climbed up along the giant sword and merged with the "Sword of Orchid", turning into a purple-red flame!
Chen Lun's eyes widened.
"This flame... is very similar to the 'Moonlight' that Rafa used before, but it is slightly weaker than that."
His physical strength was draining away rapidly. Chen Lun felt the purple-red fire on the giant sword in his hand, and slashed it horizontally, aiming at the villa in the spiritual world.
boom--!!
Amidst the loud noise.
The entire villa was split in half, and the collapsed ruins ignited with purple-red flames. In less than a few minutes, it was burned into a pile of black wreckage.
Chen Lun released the purple-red fire and squatted down with the giant sword in his hand.
Sweat was pouring down his forehead, but the expression on his face was full of joy.
"This power... really surprises me!"
Chen Lun stared straight at the dark ruins of the villa.
"Let's call this move - 'Death Burning Sword'!"
