Chen Lun didn't know whether Lucy's confession was true or false, or half true and half false.
But he knew that he couldn't let the other party continue like this.
I don’t know if it’s because of the mythical power in Lucy’s blood, but even if she doesn’t actively release her extraordinary charm, her every smile and unintentional words and deeds contain the ultimate beauty that makes it easy for people to indulge in it.
Chen Lun raised his hand slightly, and Lucy floated up, then was moved to the sofa next to him with a look of surprise.
She looked at the indifference on Mr. Jack's face and her heart trembled.
"I…I didn't mean it, Mr. Jack."
Lucy lowered her head with some grievance, like a child who had done something wrong.
She wanted to look at that handsome face again and throw herself into that warm and safe embrace, but she didn't dare to do so because she was afraid that he would hate her.
"But what I said is true. Please don't abandon me, okay? Please..."
Lucy whispered.
Chen Lun sighed secretly.
After he rescued Lucy and brought her to this hotel in Peacock City for temporary settlement, he received a favorability prompt.
The other party's favorable impression towards him has now reached the level of [worship].
And the two parties also signed a shadow contract, so Chen Lun dared to show his original appearance in front of her.
But when Chen Lun thought about bringing Lucy back to the winery, he always felt like there were live fish with legs crawling on his body, which was a bit creepy.
"Put your hand out."
Chen Lun tried to speak in a calm tone.
"Um?"
Lucy looked up in surprise.
"Ah... OK, Mr. Jack."
As she spoke, she stretched out her little hand.
Although she looked fair, her skin was a little rough and had calluses on her hands, which was probably caused by her growing environment.
Lucy seemed a little embarrassed, as if she didn't want Mr. Jack, whom she admired, to see her ugly side.
Chen Lun didn't say anything, he just stretched out his hand and placed it gently on it.
[You used "Animal Imitation LVMAX+3"! ]
[You have learned and memorized the characteristics of the extraordinary creature "Lucy" - "Extreme Beauty"! ]
'really……'
Chen Lun said secretly.
'Lucy's situation is special. I can get extraordinary biological characteristics from her.'
Then he calmed down and observed this new characteristic.
The effect of [Ultimate Beauty] is somewhat similar to [Hell Resistance] and [Cursed Skin], but is more passive. It can provide Chen Lun with a powerful charm attribute bonus, while also gaining a biologically friendly aura, which can be effective for both humans and animals.
Having it, you have a natural foundation for favorability.
In addition, if you release it actively, you can change your appearance and breath, which is a bit like the effect of [Star Mist Pot]. But compared to the silver pot, it is more convenient and hidden, and there is no need to worry about falling into the mood of "self-deception".
'It directly increased my charm by more than ten points, and my total charm has reached 40 points... This feature is quite powerful.'
Chen Lun was secretly surprised.
It is particularly difficult to improve special attribute points, and this feature is worth retaining.
He thought about it and simply removed the [Touch of the Abyss] and replaced it with [Ultimate Beauty].
"Try not to get too involved with the deep sea. Replace it as soon as possible, and you will feel more at ease."
Lucy noticed that Mr. Jack had fallen silent, and she looked up cautiously.
Her eyes gradually widened and her mouth opened slightly.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Mr. Jack's originally handsome face became more holy and profound at this moment, full of bewitching beauty.
This kind of beauty even transcends gender. It seems that any creature with aesthetic sense can feel the inner desire from it.
There is also an invisible atmosphere and an indescribable aura emanating from Mr. Jack and surrounding him. It is like the mixed fragrance of flowers in spring, or the restless emotions when tossing and turning in the middle of the night, making people unconsciously indulge in it.
"Mr. Jack, I seem to have fallen in love with you..."
Lucy's eyes were blurry and her cheeks were flushed.
"Lucy."
Chen Lun called her name.
Lucy shuddered all over, she screamed, and immediately stood up, covering her face and ran to the bathroom, leaving only one sentence:
"Excuse me, Mr. Jack, I...I don't think I'm dry yet."
Chen Lun looked at her back and shook his head helplessly.
"It seems that having too high a charm value is not necessarily a good thing..."
Soon, he frowned again.
Because Chen Lun suddenly discovered something very strange.
"Huh... I remember that Lucy's luck value was 9 points on her dashboard, but how come it's 13 points now?"
This change made him feel confused and at the same time he had some guesses.
"Could it be that because I saved her, I changed her fate and caused the change in her luck value... I'll observe it for a while. If that's the case, I can use her high luck to help me do something."
For example, look for opportunities in Peacock City!
The opportunities that you have been searching for in vain may automatically appear in front of people with high luck... Fate is sometimes so unreasonable.
"Lucy has a good mystical talent. If she can cultivate it a little, it might play an unexpected role in the future."
Chen Lun thought so.
After a moment.
Lucy came out of the bathroom again, lowered her head and sat down on the sofa, her movements a little stiff. At the same time, she was secretly cursing her own wanton body, and she had an embarrassing reaction after just one glance at Mr. Jack.
"Mr. Jack, can I really not follow you ? I can work as your maid without any wages..."
She looked up with a pitiful expression.
Chen Lun glanced at the beautiful girl and became certain of his guess.
In just a moment, the opponent's luck value rose to 15 points, and seemed to be still rising.
"You underestimate your own gifts and talents, Lucy. At your age, you should go to school instead of following me and being an idle maid..."
Chen Lun shook his head.
An expression of loss and sadness suddenly appeared on Lucy's face, and tears began to well up in her eyes, threatening to fall like a meteor at any time.
But the next moment, she was a little stunned.
Because Mr. Jack took out a small bag of gold coins, about forty or fifty of them, and handed it to her.
"This is a grant from me. I hope you can use it wisely and rely on your own abilities to enter Omto College and become a student there..."
Chen Lun said so.
"Omto College...it only accepts smart people who have undergone systematic training. Even ordinary dignitaries can't force their children in, but I..."
Lucy looked at Mr. Jack in front of her in surprise.
She hesitated for a few seconds, then gritted her teeth and took the purse.
"Is this a test from Mr. Jack? I will try my best to complete it!"
"That's very ambitious, but I hope you're here for the sake of learning and pursuing a better self... You can see it as a test, but isn't it also an opportunity for you? I hope you can figure it out, Lucy."
Chen Lun leaned back on the sofa and spoke slowly.
"I will...thank you, Mr. Jack."
Lucy held the purse in her arms and nodded heavily.
"If you really do it, I hope you can help me keep an eye out for a person, or a book..."
Chen Lun said.
Lucy blinked and looked at him seriously.
"A student named 'Francis' and a mysterious book called 'Carmen's Notebook'."
…
…
…
In fact, Chen Lun didn't have high expectations for Lucy.
Because behind the Omto Academy District is the "Madman School" of the Magic Orthodox Church. If there really is any mysterious book, it would have been found by them long ago... Although this group of people are indifferent to the world, they have an almost fanatical obsession with knowledge.
The School of Madmen is naturally a sect composed of a group of madmen.
But since it was just a casual move, Chen Lun just regarded it as an investment.
After he left the hotel, he took a cab and told the driver the name of "Jack Winery". However, the driver didn't know where it was at first, so Chen Lun had to explain it to him.
The driver now understood that the winery near the center of Peacock City had a new owner, and his attitude suddenly became more respectful.
Chen Lun just sat in the carriage and enjoyed the scenery along the way.
His frequent outings in the past few days have also allowed him to gain a general understanding of the environment around the winery.
The local shelter and Historical and Ritual Association in Peacock City are not too far from the winery. They are also located in the city center, but in different directions, forming an inverted triangle.
As for the Madman School, it is near the college area.
At this moment, Chen Lun's gaze towards the window suddenly froze.
Although it was just a quick glimpse, his powerful dynamic vision directly recorded several notices on a wall he passed by in his mind.
"Missing person notices, reports of missing young women, and warnings posted by the police station have prompted nearby female residents to be cautious when going out at night..."
Chen Lun pondered for a moment.
"Is it because of that auction? Do you want to go and take a look..."
…
…
…
A few days passed.
Chen Lun had not received any message from Miss Tracy, as if she had forgotten their agreement. But he knew that even if Miss Tracy was unwilling to investigate, she would still write back to him, which was the most basic etiquette for a noble.
Chen Lun guessed that this young lady was most likely under house arrest by her father, Viscount Harrington.
After all, they have sent people to attack me, so it is impossible for me to let her travel freely.
"You are hindering my work in disguise by doing this..."
Chen Lun sighed.
"I wanted to teach you a lesson later, but now you've forced me to do it... I don't like human trafficking."
He took out a silver cane and stood up directly from the chair in the study.
Several poker cards flew out from the pile of cards on the table and hovered in front of Chen Lun, guiding him.
