Dinner time.
Floy prepared a sumptuous meal for everyone.
As the protagonist of the meal, Maggie also received the treatment she deserved, which was a large bowl of cold braised beef. Authentic Chinese cooking method, with good color, aroma and taste, Floy mastered it very well, and directly made Maggie so excited that she exclaimed that it was a great creation.
Looking at Maggie's greasy mouth and muttering to herself, Chen Lun's forehead was covered with sweat.
Until she said something like "Praise the holy tree, thank you for the gift of beef" and "If Ms. Holy Tree could also eat such delicious food, she would probably become sisters with Floi."
Chen Lun quickly interrupted her.
"If it tastes good, eat more. Stop talking."
"Okay, Captain, you guys should try it too, it's really delicious!"
Maggie chuckled.
Chen Lun wiped his sweat secretly.
He has always been very cautious when it comes to matters involving gods, and there are some things that cannot be said...
Noah arrived late.
When he saw the table full of delicious food, his short body jumped three meters high, climbed onto the table with joy, then skillfully tied the napkin around his neck and couldn't wait to start eating.
Seeing that all the team members were present, Chen Lun said:
"In the next period of time, everyone should make full use of the commissions sent by the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce and go out to accumulate mysterious wealth. This is a rare opportunity."
The companions nodded in agreement.
Then, Chen Lun took out the contract he had signed with Hoyle, indicating that Jack Circus already had an official identity, that is, the resident performance troupe of the "City Garden" Theater.
Maggie seemed very interested when she heard the news.
With food in her mouth, she said incoherently:
"Captain, what do you want us to perform? Why don't I go on stage and release 'Beng Beng'? I'm sure the audience will applaud!"
Chen Lun asked her puzzledly, what is "Bengbeng".
Maggie said that it was a kind of epidemic pet she developed herself based on the "sick dog breeding method" taught by her teacher Akbin. It looks like a cow, but is much larger, very strong and cute.
"Well, I think we should just forget it. If someone dies, we'll have to run away."
Chen Lun said with a headache.
As soon as he thought of the strange dog the size of a carriage that he had seen when he fought with Akbin, he knew what the "Bengbeng" that Maggie was talking about was.
If she were to do that, everyone in the theater, in that closed space, would be infected with the extraordinary disease and die instantly.
"They're still clapping and cheering... I think it's more like everyone is dead."
Chen Lun thought.
He could even imagine a mad bull gnawing on a pile of corpses in a theater while Maggie laughed at the side.
"Mr. Jack, I want to go on stage and play, too."
Noah smiled shyly and spoke out.
"You don't want to turn into a ghoul on stage and scare the audience, do you?"
Chen Lun raised his eyelids and asked helplessly.
"ah……"
Noah looked surprised, with an expression of "how did you know?", but he reacted quickly and added:
"No, no, I want to go on stage and paint..."
"People spend ten silver ounces to buy tickets, just to see you sit there and paint?"
Chen Lun shook his head and said weakly:
"Then you might as well use the Bone Gallery to temporarily borrow the power of the Heart Thief and play the role of a hypnotist."
When Noah heard this, his eyes lit up.
"That's a great idea! Mr. Jack, every time I come back from a commission, I'll become a hypnotist!"
Chen Lun thought about it and finally nodded in agreement.
This is fine, let him go to the theater and have some fun, just to relax.
Other people's attitude towards this matter is relatively indifferent. They are not very interested in it, but they don't resist it either.
Except for Floy.
Chen Lun knew that she certainly had no interest in it, and would most likely stay in the winery, plant flowers and cook, forge some strange objects when she had time, and catch up on sleep the rest of the time.
After dinner.
Chen Lun strolled alone in the back garden of the winery.
There are not many flowers planted here yet, so it looks a bit withered, but the atmosphere is still good.
Bathed in the starlight, he turned his attention to the cabin area by the fairyland lake.
At this time, some players were gathered in front of the statue of Jack and interacting with him.
Dongyang took two strangers with him and instructed them step by step on how to exchange items. It seemed that they were players trained by the Heroic Spirit Pavilion.
"Eh...these two players are taking the destiny path."
After taking a quick look, Chen Lun was surprised.
"It should be that the two copies of the extraordinary knowledge of [Beast Tamer] that I sold before were learned by these two players."
Dongyang looked at the two players behind him with a serious expression.
They are a man and a woman, the woman's name is "Tu Tu" and the man's name is "Meet the Dragon King".
"The guild values ​​you very much, so don't let the guild down... This opportunity is very precious, and most of the activity funds allocated by the higher-ups are placed on you."
Dongyang said.
"Yes, Vice President, we will try our best!"
Bald said.
She and the Dragon King were players who had gone through layers of screening and were picked out from thousands. Because of their displayed gaming talents, they were valued by the guild and signed a long-term contract.
For this reason, the guild decided to allocate some resources to the two.
"Go and exchange for the high-level skill [Animal Imitation] of [Beast Tamer]. This is Jack's exclusive skill and is extremely powerful... The guild's think tank has analyzed that the reason why Polaris can overpower the extraordinary people of the same sequence is largely due to this skill."
Dongyang said.
"Generally, animal trainers only have the skill of [Beast Language]. Although they can tame various animals and have a wide range of applications, they are still relatively mediocre ..."
This is a bit euphemistic.
In fact, after the guild’s testing, the Destiny Path Transcendents were the weakest, which was a surprising result.
However, once one has [Animal Mimicry], the tamer will leap forward and become the strongest, just like Polaris.
Baldy and Baijian Dragon King nodded, then interacted with the statue of Jack, directly clicked on the hidden column, and chose skill exchange.
At first, Chen Lun's price for this skill was somewhat arbitrary, just to bluff Polaris and "trick" him into being his spokesperson, so he set the price at "1,000 gold pounds + 1,000 contribution points + 10 pieces of low-sequence mysterious matter".
This is an outrageous price.
Although the store is having a discount now, it will still cost around 1,500 gold pounds.
Now that the public beta has been over for four or five months, the players' levels have generally improved, and their ability to "earn gold" has been correspondingly enhanced, resulting in a slight depreciation of the game currency.
According to the current exchange rate of 1 real credit point for 5 copper credits, learning this skill will cost 3 million credit points.
"As expected of a consortium, you have guts."
Chen Lun sighed inwardly.
As Tutu and the Dragon King learned the skills, they showed joy and anticipation on their faces.
"How is this skill?"
Dongyang asked hurriedly.
"Very powerful! It can use animals as targets, learn the characteristics of animals, and retain them permanently... But I only have two memory slots, which means I can only retain two characteristics."
Bald said.
"What about you, Dragon King?"
Dongyang turned and asked the male player.
"Um, Vice President, I'm sorry... I only have one memory slot."
The Dragon King scratched his head in embarrassment.
Dongyang sighed, feeling a little disappointed.
"Don't be discouraged. Even though it has one less memory slot, it doesn't stop it from being a magical skill."
He forced a smile to comfort her.
"According to the think tank's analysis, Polaris should have three memory slots, which is probably the limit for players... and all of this was decided when the character was created, but it cannot be seen on the panel."
Baldy and the Dragon King nodded.
The Dragon King was a little depressed. He felt that his character was unlucky. Why was his talent so poor? He just wasted a great opportunity.
"After that, you will follow the think tank's advice and memorize the corresponding animals, so that you can maximize the effect of this skill."
Dongyang instructed.
Chen Xi next to him also brought a girl named "Ku Cha Nana". She snatched away one of the only three copies of [Beast Tamer] extraordinary knowledge.
Now it seems that it should have been given to Kucha Nana.
"Go ahead, Nana."
Chen Xi encouraged her with a smile.
Nana nodded and exchanged the skill [Animal Mimicry] from the statue.
"President, I only have two memory slots..."
A look of loss appeared on her pretty face.
"It's okay. It's much better than some people."
Chen Xi comforted.
The Dragon King's expression suddenly turned darker.
He felt like the whole world was against him.
…
…
…
"Not bad. Although I didn't try to make money deliberately, the golden coins jumped into my pocket by themselves..."
Chen Lun sat on the wooden bench in the garden, leaning lazily.
He glanced at the panel and found that he already had more than 56,000 gold pounds, most of which were contributed by players.
"How about using the Silver Pot Knight Fren's vest tomorrow and showing off? The players must have missed him after not seeing him for so long... Well, the main thing is that there are 40 or 50 useless monsters sitting around, so why not use them out and help them?"
Chen Lun stroked his chin.
The next day.
On the commercial street of Peacock City, a strange man wearing silver armor and a silver pot on his head appeared.
He was sitting against a street lamp, holding an antique sword in his arms. There was a blanket on the ground in front of him, on which were placed a dozen silver pottery jars of various sizes.
There were all kinds of vendors around him, and at first glance, this person was not very conspicuous.
"Don't miss it if you pass by! Warriors from other places, why not buy a good jar? You may find the treasure you have always dreamed of!"
Chen Lun shouted loudly in a heroic voice.
On the commercial street, most residents just find it novel, but few come to patronize.
But the players hiding in the crowd opened their eyes wide, as if they saw something incredible.
"——Look, that guy's panel is all unknown. He's a powerful hidden NPC! Maybe there are some side quests that can be taken!"
"——I don't know. That's the Silver Pot Knight Fren, a famous mysterious merchant... It's said that many people have obtained strange things from him."
"——No one knows about such a famous NPC? I suggest you look for posts about him on the forum... I won't say more, brothers. I'm going to charge first. Wish me good luck."
"——Let's go together!"
There were also three or four female players who covered their mouths.
They looked at the silver pot head several times before showing joy on their faces.
"——It's the Silver Pot Knight Fren! I finally met him! Is this the knight that the president has been thinking about...? He looks so interesting!"
"—— Let's go over and take a look, and take a few pictures for the president. She has always wanted this NPC's picture as the exclusive wallpaper for our 'Little Silver Fox'."
