Volume 4 Blood Diamond Chapter 309: New Skills Taught by Jack
Chen Lun turned his gaze away from his own statue, feeling somewhat mixed emotions.
He didn't know if it was because the shiny parts reflected light better, but he felt it was a bit dazzling anyway.
"It's been a long time since we last met, fellow warriors from other lands."
Chen Lun smiled and said to Polaris and Dongyang.
"Mr. Jack, may I ask what you have been doing since you left Amber City?"
Dongyang asked out loud.
The other players were also curious.
They are actually very concerned about the movements of the bosses of their own forces. After all, this is related to whether they can get intelligence on major events in the first place and the extent to which they can participate in the plot.
Chen Lun smiled and was silent for a few seconds.
"I once said that the Red Apple Church would be the source of turmoil in the empire... Now that the Red Disaster has completely erupted, it confirms the guidance of fate , so I am working hard to eliminate them."
After hearing this, the players looked at each other in confusion.
Of course they know this.
Because the second part of the main mission Mr. Jack had issued to them was to participate in the action against the Red Apple Church and obtain corresponding contribution points by killing the clergy and extraordinary people of the church.
But they all thought of another thing at the same time, which had caused a debate a few days ago, and that was a post that appeared on the game forum.
Regarding whether Spade Knight Joke is Mr. Jack.
Members of the Heroic Spirit Pavilion, Chuxi, and the God's Love Guild are spread all over the empire. Some time ago, in the Yanbang area, the story of the Spade Knight's crazy hunting of the Red Apple Church spread through the mouths of players.
This seems to be consistent with Mr. Jack's motivation.
So Dongyang took the lead in raising this question.
"Mr. Jack, is that you, the Knight of Spades?"
The other players looked at Chen Lun with burning eyes, as if they were eager to know the answer.
The fierce battle had already been recorded by players and posted on the forum. The big boss of the Church of the Sun was killed by the Spade Knight and fell in the lake near the ruins of the manor.
They didn't know that it was just an incarnation of Terrence, but that didn't stop them from awe and worshipping the Spade Knight.
They are willing to believe that such a powerful person is Mr. Jack in disguise!
But Chen Lun did not answer this question.
He kept smiling and said:
"The reason I came to Wonderland to look for you this time is actually because the Red Apple Church is becoming increasingly rampant... and you are still too weak now, so I want to teach you some skills so that you can have the power to defeat evil as soon as possible."
When the players heard this, expressions of surprise appeared on their faces.
Immediately, they became extremely suspicious.
"——Mr. Jack avoided answering. Do you think this is considered as a tacit agreement?"
"——Actually, I think it doesn't matter whether he is the Spade Knight or not, because we can't judge who is stronger than them... But what is certain is that Mr. Jack, as a character who appeared in the opening CG, is definitely not weak."
"——Exactly. I think Mr. Jack has never taken any serious action. The Spade Knight might not even be able to defeat him!"
A group of high-level players are communicating in the chat room.
Polaris has already stepped forward and said to Mr. Jack:
"Teacher, I found myself... well, I have reached a bottleneck and cannot get effective improvement for the time being. Can you give me some guidance?"
His statement was very tactful. After all, "Mr. Jack is an NPC" and he doesn't understand what the version level cap is.
However, Chen Lun knew it clearly, but he still cooperated in the acting.
"Well... you belong to a special group, undead from a foreign land. Even the True God Church and the shelter haven't figured out your origins yet. Perhaps you are humans born in the spirit world... So the laws of the mysterious realm seem to restrict your growth."
Chen Lun pondered, looking thoughtful.
Then he said:
"I just said that I can teach you some skills... Polaris, you are my student, and I think there is a skill that will be very suitable for you."
bite!
A golden exclamation mark appeared above Chen Lun’s head.
Polaris was overjoyed and immediately focused on triggering it.
[Are you willing to spend 300 contribution points to learn the skill "Survival of the fittest (passive)" from mentor Jack? ]
This is a skill that Chen Lun learned from a mysterious book about nature when he was reading in Viscount Pompeii's study when he first arrived in Amber City. It can improve his five attributes: strength, dexterity, endurance, charm, and insight, one point at each level.
It can be considered an excellent passive skill.
"study!"
After reading the skill description, Polaris was immediately overjoyed.
When a wave of insights flooded into his mind, his heart almost trembled with excitement.
"A magical skill..."
With the passive skill of "survival of the fittest", Polaris has several more levels of attributes than other players. This is a difference in the panel.
Referred to as numerical monster, super model monster.
At this time, other players also noticed the golden exclamation mark above Mr. Jack's head and hurried forward to interact.
“——What the hell?! A passive skill that increases attributes?! Only extraordinary people in the paths of magic, nature, and destiny can learn it. Chao, if I had known this earlier, I would not have chosen the sun!”
Dongyang regretted his decision after seeing this.
The other high-level players who are not from these three paths also feel very regretful and lost.
"——No, this is too expensive, right? 3,000 contribution points! Where can I get so much? I only have a little over 100 contribution points now..."
When the Dragon King saw the price tag, he cried out in amazement.
Not only him, but also Chenxi, who took the path of magic, and Tutu and Kucha Nana, who also took the path of destiny, were all surprised after seeing the price.
"——It's okay. Contribution points can be exchanged for gold pounds. This skill is very valuable and worth buying!"
Chen Xi acted decisively and boldly spent some money from the guild treasury in exchange for enough contribution points to buy skills for himself and Kucha Nana.
Dongyang of the Pavilion of Heroes was of course not willing to be outdone. Since he himself could not learn it, he had to let the guild 's only two extraordinary people in the Path of Destiny, Baldy and the Dragon King, learn this skill.
When Chen Lun saw that he had pocketed another income of nearly ten thousand gold pounds, the smile on his face grew even wider.
"Brother Beizi, where do you get so much money?"
The Dragon King first looked at Vice President Dongyang with gratitude, and then asked Polaris in confusion.
"Hmm? I didn't spend any money... I was quite diligent in completing tasks recently and accumulated 300 contribution points."
Polaris said calmly.
“?!”
A group of people stared at him with a mixture of grief and anger, which made Polaris quite confused.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"——Damn Versailles! Damn connections! Damn North Star!"
Goutoujin typed out these words in the chat room.
Then he added a "dog head expression". Since he couldn't learn it anyway, he might as well fan the flames and gloat over other people's misfortune.
But this is indeed the voice of other high-level players.
They have been envious and jealous of Polaris more than once. Just because he has become Mr. Jack's student, he can get any benefits first.
There is even a discount for learning a skill now!
10% off!
"——Hey, look, there's another skill. It's a universal skill that everyone can use!"
Su Keying reminded at this time.
Everyone immediately perked up and looked at the interactive panel.
[Are you willing to spend 200 contribution points to learn the skill "Knight Swordsmanship" from the circus leader Jack? ]
"——It's really universal! And the price is very cheap!"
"——You can improve your close combat ability and master advanced swordsmanship skills!"
"——I'm crying, I really will thank you. Jack knew that we couldn't learn that passive skill, so he released the universal skill?"
The group of high-level players standing in front of Chen Lun bought this skill one after another, and then a happy smile appeared on their faces.
But they soon discovered something and all stared at Chen Lun.
That look seemed to be saying, "You still said you were not the Spade Knight, now you're exposed." But Chen Lun seemed not to see it and continued to smile.
Let them imagine.
At this time, the Dragon King thought of something and looked at the North Star again to confirm:
"Brother Beizi, you're not going to tell me that you only spent 20 contribution points to learn this skill?"
Polaris was surprised and shook his head.
“I didn’t spend any money.”
“…”
The other players fell silent on the spot.
After a moment.
Chen Lun encouraged the player a few words and then left the wonderland.
He came here this time just to clear the players' contributions and collect some gold pounds. There was no other purpose. If there was any other reason, it was that he hadn't shown up for a long time and came here to make his presence felt and improve Polaris's strength so that he could always stay in the leading position and make a name for himself.
After he leaves.
The experts in the lakeside cottage sat down on the lawn.
"By the way, why do you think Mr. Jack hates the Red Apple Church so much?"
Dongyang spoke up.
"Because he couldn't stand what they did, Mr. Jack had great power, so he wanted to save the world..."
Tailtone answered.
She thought about it and added.
"Like a savior?"
Dongyang did not refute, but did not agree either. He raised another question.
"Then what do you think is the difference between the circus's stance and that of the shelter and the Orthodox Church?"
No one else spoke.
Polaris pondered for a moment and expressed his opinion:
"I am more inclined to my initial feeling, which is neutrality... The circus led by Mr. Jack does not lean towards any side, but will make some decisions that are beneficial to itself."
He shrugged.
"Perhaps in the eyes of most people, Mr. Jack is maintaining the order of the empire and fighting against the Red Apple Church, which is the boss of this version. But I think... this may be because he saw that the future red disaster would affect him according to the guidance of fate, so he chose to take action."
Others did not expect Polaris to hold such a view and found it somewhat novel.
Dongyang nodded in surprise.
"Yes, our think tank at Yingling Pavilion analyzed it some time ago... and came to the same conclusion as you."
He smiled.
"That's what I wanted to say... From the main quest, we can see that each player's growth is related to the stance of their own faction, and also to their rise and fall... It is precisely because of the circus's neutrality that we have more choices in the future and more potential."
"I think you just want to find ways to praise the Heroic Spirit Guild, and Mr. Jack at the same time."
Tail said disdainfully.
"My Jack, no need to brag, he is my eternal God..."
As she spoke, a blushing smile appeared on her face again and her eyes were blurry.
"If anyone wants to blow, I'll do it..."
The other players suddenly felt a chill.
You're crazy again, aren't you?
