I became the king of villains in the game

Chapter 164 Return to Emerald Town ([-] in [-])

"—a letter to the regular members of 'The Circus'."

This is what Chen Lun left at the beginning of the letter.

The contents of the letter roughly introduced the changes in Jack's estate in the past year.

"... During these days of your travels, I formally established an organization of extraordinary people called 'Circus'. I have reached a consensus with Miss Rosa, the owner of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce, to use their influence in name as an affiliation A hiring team under the Chamber of Commerce...

In the future, the 'Circus' will undertake various commissions from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce, which also requires your help..."

Seeing this, Polaris understood the name of his faction and why he changed it.But he immediately felt excited again, because the "entrustment" mentioned in the letter, isn't this the "mission center"?

"There will be no shortage of tasks to do in the future...!"

Polaris thought.

"...During this period of time, Jack Workshop has also developed rapidly. It can not only produce and sell [Rage] muskets and [Connie One] mechanical gloves, but also provide official members with exchange services for limited quality weapons, such as [Red Ink] shrapnel bombs and [blue ink] high-explosive incendiary bombs, etc..."

When Polaris saw this, his eyes lit up.

He owns both the musket and mechanical gloves, so he knows that these two weapons are of first-class quality and powerful.

This can't help but make him have confidence and expectations for the other two "fine weapons" produced by his own forces, especially because they are "bombs"!This kind of powerful prop is the favorite of players!
Now that the server public beta has just started, players are at a low level and their output capabilities are limited, but they can take advantage of resurrection to cause a one-time high output through bombs.

Often many opportunities are exchanged with fresh lives!

"Okay, this is too good!"

Polaris suppressed his excitement and continued to look down.

"...In addition to Connie who is in charge of Jack's workshop, the team has added several new cadres during this period - 'Sister of Tranquility' Floyd, 'Bloody Painter' Noah, 'Doctor of Disease' Maggie and 'Behind the scenes' Personnel' Golov and Patton...

Among them, Maggie is in charge of the team's pharmacy deployment, and will be able to provide pharmacy exchange services for all regular members in the future...

[Silence Elixir] that can restore spirituality, [Blood Vial] that can restore life, [Thirst Potion] that can restore physical strength, and special limited edition high-quality medicine [Powerful Blood Vial], etc..."

Polaris browsed through the contents of the letter, his heart beating faster and faster.

"This is what a big force should look like, and it's getting better and better."

He sighed with emotion, giving birth to a sense of pride.

"It can be called a 'cadre', at least it is a superhuman... There are so many superhumans joining, it shows that Jack's charisma is still as high as ever!"

Polaris' confidence soars.

At the end of the letter, Jack said that he was in a hurry these days and had no time to show up, so he let them move about on their own.

"...You can choose a room to rest in the newly built house in Jack Manor, or you can find my spokesperson—"Sister of Tranquility" Floy, to accept tasks and exchange some basic items.

Finally, I hope you can wait patiently for my arrival. ——J”

Polaris took a deep breath and silently closed the letter paper.

"Polaris, have you read the letter?"

The horse man said.

Polaris looked at him and nodded.

"Then, it's useless to keep this letter. Why don't you give it to me. I'll keep it as a souvenir."

The horse man smiled and said casually.

"Are you thinking I'm stupid?"

Polaris rolled his eyes and put the letter away properly.

This is a letter written by Jack himself to their five internal beta players. It is extremely rare, and maybe some people will rush to buy it when it is put up for auction in the future.

This centaur is really insidious and wants to corrupt his letter.

"Hey, brother, you're still so smart."

The centaur smiled heartily and pointed to the door as if nothing had happened.

"Su Keying and I have read the letter a long time ago, why don't we go to Jack's nun first, and see if there are any tasks we can do."

"Ah."

Polaris snorted, and together with the two of them, walked into the gate of the manor.

The two gatekeepers had seen the tokens and let them in.

Not long after the player trio entered the manor, they saw several carriages parked beside the lawn path.One of them was extraordinarily large, a few sizes larger than the ones next to it, and there were traces of reinforcement with iron plates and rivets on the carriage.

A middle-aged bearded man wearing a bowler hat was leaning against the side of the car and taking a nap.

As they approached, the uncle suddenly opened his eyes.

The three of them suddenly felt a hint of horror.

Throwing "Investigation", apart from being able to see that the name is "Golov", the other information is only a series of horizontal bars and a red "fatal" danger.

"—This should be the new cadre of Jack's Circus, the 'behind-the-scenes' Golov. No wonder he can't see the information. This is an extraordinary person who surpasses us by level 20."

The horseman said in the chat room.

Polaris and Su Keying nodded silently.

"The three are the 'foreign warriors' mentioned by the group leader. Welcome back."

Golov took off his bowler hat, saluted, and smiled.

"Please follow me. The manor has undergone some renovations. You may need a little time to get familiar with and adapt."

The three of Polaris greeted him, and immediately followed each other, walking towards the depths of the manor.

Along the way, when he saw new buildings in the manor, Golov would enthusiastically introduce them to them.This is indeed different from the Jack Manor they have seen before, and it has changed a lot.

Enter the hall on the first floor of the villa.

The three of Polaris saw at a glance the blind girl in a black dress standing beside the living room.

"——It was the blind girl who rescued Jack in the Battle of the Square!"

Su Keying spoke in the chat room.

"——I know, I've seen her before, I thought she was just an ordinary person, I didn't expect it to be so tricky...Jack's team is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"

The horse man replied.

Polaris lost "Exploration", the expected horizontal bar unknown, and a brighter red "Very Deadly".

"Mr. Polaris, please don't wantonly pry into other people's privacy."

Floyd spoke in an ethereal voice.

"It's both disrespectful and dangerous."

She had a faint smile on her face, and her tone was soft but slightly cold.

A slight black mist surged from the short black cloak on her shoulders, billowing, covering her whole body in it, presenting a mysterious beauty.

Polaris was taken aback.

This is the second time he has been spotted by an NPC "probe", the first time being Jack.Are all the NPCs related to him so unreasonable?
Ma Ren and Su Keying were also very surprised. The three of them looked at each other. They didn't expect that even Jack's nun had such a high level of insight!

They are not idle during the time when the closed beta is over and waiting for the public beta to start.By digging into the official news, they learned some details of the game.

The "detection" function that comes with the player panel is generally undetectable to NPCs. Only when the insight reaches a certain level can they be perceived a little bit.This is also linked to the player's own level, only if the level is similar, it will not be so easy to be discovered.

However, it can be seen that this blind girl named "Floy" must have a high insight attribute!
"—Did the favorability drop?"

The centaur gave a gloating look.

"—so friendly to neutral."

Polaris looked depressed.

Although Floy's vision was dark, she could sense the facial expressions of the players and their nervousness.

She couldn't help but think of Chen Lun's chuckle before leaving.The warning to Polaris was actually what he told himself in advance.

But at that moment just now, Floye really felt the feeling of being spied on, which was the perception warning shared by [Potted Plant in the Back Sun].At the same time, it also stimulated the autonomous protection of [Black Mist Cloak].

"Three warriors from other places, you can choose to receive daily entrusted tasks here, or you can choose your favorite weapons and props to exchange."

Floy raised her hand lightly, a purple light flickered, and two thick and large notebooks appeared in her hands.

She handed over the notebook, and Polaris took it with both hands.

Ma Ren and Su Keying leaned over to him and watched him open the first notebook.

The notebook was opened, and a column of "circus daily task entrustment" appeared.

The various daily entrusted tasks, content description, location and time limit requirements are clearly marked line by line, and the rewards are also clearly written at the end.

As long as they focus on the task, the corresponding prompt box will pop up.

The three of them had a discussion in the chat room, and felt that the public beta of the server had just started, so they could not waste time, they could take a few daily tasks to do first, and wait for Jack to come back by the way.

This idea was unanimously approved.

So they accepted the same entrusted task, which was to act as bodyguards to protect a wealthy businessman in the inner city of Amber City. The task lasted for three days.

Immediately afterwards, Polaris put down the "Complete Tasks" and picked up the "Store Catalog".

After opening it, the eyes of the three of them gradually widened, and there were actually photo-like oil painting illustrations on it!

Horn guns, mechanical gloves, various ammunition and supplementary fuel, potions of three different colors, and some tricks, etc.

The exchange price of the item is also marked, basically it needs currency plus contribution, and the trick is based on this, plus a certain amount of mysterious substance.

"—Too strong! My Captain Jack!"

The horseman sighed.

"——No, some things are not on it, such as Jack mentioned in the letter, the two kinds of bombs... There are also special potions and extraordinary knowledge!"

Polaris speaks.

The horseman and Su Keying were startled.

"—yes, none of this is written on it, but that's what we need most!"

Polaris raised his head and asked Floyd:

"Miss Froy, may I ask what conditions are required to exchange extraordinary knowledge?"

"Extraordinary knowledge and some special items can only be exchanged with Mr. Jack... Please wait patiently."

Floyd said softly with a smile on his face.

"—In this case, there is no other way, we can only wait for Jack to come back...the price of extraordinary knowledge and those limited items must be quite high. I just took advantage of this time to talk to the boss of the guild, 'Xiao Guang', and apply for reimbursement .”

The horse sent a text message.

Looking at the message, Polaris sighed secretly.

He knew that this was where the guild's strengths lay.

Just like the current situation of the horse people, when they encounter a top opportunity, but they are only short of money, it is very easy to handle.All it takes is an order from the president of the guild, and the members are all crowdfunding, and they all have to help the horsemen get the identity of this extraordinary person.

This is also a matter of great significance to the entire "Heroic Spirit Pavilion".

Not only did it gain a reputation at the beginning of the public beta and show off its signs, it also allowed the guild to directly possess a truly extraordinary force.

What's more, as one of the three major guilds, "Heroic Pavilion" has a super consortium behind it.They can even mobilize real power, increase funds into the game, and exchange for the currency on hand of other players to serve the guild.

The centaur asked Floyd specifically about the "contribution to the circus".

The answer is that it can be exchanged with property, but it is quite expensive.

A gold pound is exchanged for a point of contribution.

Polaris and Su Keying were secretly stunned, it was too expensive.

They had inquired about the ratio of the guild's gold collection before. In reality, 1 credit point can be exchanged for 1 copper kro in the game.This one gold pound is almost equivalent to [-] yuan in reality.

The cheapest monsters in the catalog cost 60 gold pounds, which is equivalent to 60.What's more, extraordinary knowledge costs hundreds of gold pounds, and equal contribution is required.

In this way, a piece of extraordinary knowledge of [Sequence 9] would cost tens of millions? !
It's really horribly expensive!
Even if the super consortium is behind the "Heroic Pavilion", will they really pay such a price for a transcendent person?

If Chen Lun were to answer this question, he would definitely give an affirmative answer.

Because the reason why the price is so high is to catch fish from the consortium.

At the beginning of the service, whoever becomes the Transcendent first will have a head start.Hundreds of tens of millions are nothing to the super consortium.

[Sequence 9]'s extraordinary knowledge, as time goes by and the version is updated, the price will definitely drop.But at this critical moment just after the public beta, no matter how expensive it is, it is reasonable.

Because it has a price but no market.

Ninety-nine percent of players are still in the groping stage. If there is extraordinary knowledge with a clearly marked price, the super consortium will only think it is too little, not too expensive.

But this is too difficult for Polaris and Su Keying.They are just casual players, there is no big guild behind them, and the extraordinary knowledge in front of them cannot be exchanged by the two of them.

"——During the internal test, we saved some contribution points by doing tasks, and now it's not much worse... Take advantage of these few days to collect more daily commissions, and try to collect as much as possible. When the time comes, you can try to sell Give centaur or kobold gold to the guild behind them."

Polaris sent a text message to Su Keying.

"--learn."

call!
A black shadow streaked across the sky.

Chen Lun spread his black wings, flew across the sky, and headed in a certain direction.

'It's almost here... It's still fast to fly. '

The silver cane turned around, pointed in a direction, and then he put it away.

From Amber City to Emerald Town, it took six or seven days by horse-drawn carriage and three or four days by train, but it only took about half a day by air.

However, Chen Lun was also quite exhausted. He rested several times on the way to the ground, and each time he poured a bottle of "thirsty potion", otherwise he really didn't have so much energy to maintain the flight.

In fact, it would be faster to travel through the spirit world, but Chen Lun didn't know the real world coordinates of Emerald Town, and with his current strength, it was too risky to travel through the spirit world.

To be on the safe side, he chose to fly over with his... wings.

During his wild flight, he passed several villages.From a bird's-eye view, the place below is bleak and sparsely populated, and only burning fires and patches of smoke can be vaguely seen.

Sometimes sparse troops can be seen, traveling long distances, as if they are going somewhere to carry out suppression operations.

'The public beta has started, let's get in touch with the player group first...'

Chen Lun pressed his top hat, lowered his eyelids, and thought to himself.

'There are three short-term goals. One is to use players' resources to develop themselves through the preparations during this period.

The second is to water the selected 'elites', accelerate their growth, help me to destroy the plan of the Red Apple Church, and strive to strike at their latent and dormant vitality before the main line opens.

The third is to prepare well for the arrival of the 'Mutual Aid Club', um... this is a very important boost. '

While Chen Lun was pondering, he realized that he had already arrived outside the town of Emerald.

The familiar outline of the town appeared in front of my eyes.

But this place has obviously been eroded by the plague. There are troops stationed outside the town, and the faces of the soldiers are covered with cloth strips to prevent them from guarding the bridges and gates.

Some weird cokes are smoking and piled up together.

There is also a white sheet cloth next to it.

The rows are neatly arranged, and it seems that they are waiting to be burned.

Chen Lun's attention was attracted by many guys whose expressions were obviously out of tune with the environment.They were giggling, with curiosity and excitement in their eyes, looking around the environment, and heading towards the gate of the town.

"It's the plague lunatic! Kill them!"

A soldier saw the player approaching and yelled in horror.

Whoosh whoosh...!
The soldiers defending the town drew their bows and arrows, and shot arrows at the players who were running.

As the bowstring trembled, the players showed astonishment and fell outside the town one by one, turning into white light and dissipating.

"..."

Chen Lun showed a speechless expression.

Why are the players this year so stupid.

The farms in the outskirts must have been taken over by the plague at this time, and they were deserted. Even if they had never met a sick person, they should know that the hippie smiling face could easily be misunderstood as an illness.

Chen Lun flew over the heads of the guards on the wall, crossed the wall of the small town, and flew directly inside.

Then he fell at an inconspicuous corner, stepped on an unclean stone road, and returned to Emerald Town.

Entering the town, he saw a fork in the road, where many armed "refugees" were gathering, as if preparing to do something big.

Someone yelled out:
"If you want to form a team to kill monsters, pull me in!"
