I became the king of villains in the game

Two days passed quickly.

On this day, Chen Lun was playing cards with his subordinates in the entertainment room on the first floor of the hotel. Apart from him, there were three other people at the card table: Floyd, Maggie, and Golov Buttonmore.

This kind of gameplay called "Fool Dulac" originated from the bottom of which city, and gradually became popular among the upper classes of major cities. It supports up to six people to participate together.

The specific gameplay requires the attacker to deal cards, the defender to play a bigger card to resist, the loser has to receive all the cards played, and repeat this cycle... until one party plays all the cards in their hands, it is the winner , As for the loser, it is naturally "Fool Dulac".

At this moment, Chen Lun and the six formed a group of two to form three teams to fight against each other.Among them, he and Floyd were on the same team, Maggie and Morey were on the same team, and Golov and Button were on the same team.

The game has reached a fever pitch, and both Chen Lun and Floyd have only two cards left in their hands, only one step away from victory.But they also have strong opponents, and that is the group of Golov and Barton. They both have only one card left.

"Mr. Jack, trust me to make this one, and I guarantee that guy Golov won't afford it."

The bard Alex stood behind Chen Lun and Floyd and said firmly.

"The audience is silent, Alex, this is the quality that a gentleman should have."

Chen Lun rolled his eyes at him, but the latter just spread his hands with a playful smile.

"Nine of Spades."

Although he said so, he followed Alex's suggestion and played a card. Unexpectedly, Golov smiled and pushed the last card onto the table with his backhand.

"Jack of Spades."

Golov naturally took the dozens of gold coins on the table to his face, and gave half of them to his "teammate" Button.

"Just a little older than you, leader, we will not be polite to these gold coins."

"Alex, I suggest that you go out to sell songs now, there is a small square at the corner, which is perfect... and then pay the money you earn to the leader, otherwise I'm worried that you will die of food poisoning during dinner. "

Although Maggie lost, she was not depressed. She threw a dozen or so cards in her hand into the deck, pointed at the door and joked.

Alex shrugged.

"Oh, I don't think Mr. Jack would be so narrow-minded, and Miss Floyd is a noble lady, how could she poison food? That's a blasphemy against cooking..."

"Put the highly toxic material I gave you last time into his steak, and add more doses, lest he die incompletely."

Chen Lun immediately turned his head and said to Floyd.

"Ah."

Floyd smiled quietly, and nodded tacitly to express his understanding.

Alex gasped on the spot.

The crowd laughed.

"Go ahead, I'll go for a walk."

At this moment, Chen Lun got up and left the table, patted Alex on the shoulder, and pretended to be serious and said:

"You'd better win more."

"You underestimate the great Alex, Mr. Jack, with me, they will lose everything."

Alex took advantage of the opportunity and sat in Chen Lun's position, and said bluntly.

Chen Lun smiled, exchanged glances with Floyd, and immediately left the entertainment room.

In fact, if he wanted to win this kind of poker game, no one could take even a copper crown from him, but that would be too boring.Chen Lun even wants to lose more money to these team members, otherwise they will always feel guilty if they always pay huge sums of money in the form of salary.

After all, the three of Golov had approached him privately more than once, expressing that their abilities were limited, that they could not help the head of the group to do important things, and that they did not deserve so much money.

But in Chen Lun's heart, as long as he joins this team, he is one of his own... He has always been very generous towards his own people.

After leaving the hotel, walking on the bustling street, various peddlers pushed their carts past him, yelling and selling in the wind and sand.Chen Lun lowered the brim of his hat, and secretly opened the panel.

He sighed lightly, disappointment in his eyes.

'Looks like this won't work...'

In the past two days, some players have found the extraordinary forces on the wanted list very efficiently, and took practical measures to assassinate their members, but they did not share the expected killing rewards.

'Hmm...maybe only tasks related to the mainline can trigger this sharing mechanism? '

Chen Lun silently speculated in his heart.

In fact, this result is also within his expectations. After all, if he can share the kill rewards of the players under his command at any time, then he can recruit players in a big way, and encourage players to kill by continuously releasing tasks, thereby obtaining a large amount of rewards. Experience.

At that time, as long as the conditions for promotion are met, he can even ascend instantly!
This obviously does not conform to the rules of the world, and even the so-called "game" mechanism... Even though he is originally a heterogeneous, there should be an underlying logic in everything, and this kind of "vicious bug" is unlikely to exist.

This is Chen Lun's understanding.

"Sir, do you want to buy cigarettes? Buy two packs of cigarettes and get you a pack of matches."

At this time, a shabby-dressed newsboy stopped in front of him and asked cautiously in a childish voice.

Chen Lun lowered his head and glanced at the other party. This newsboy couldn't even afford the cheapest hat. He had short, withered and yellow hair that was malnourished. He was exposed to the sun, and his skin was abnormally dark.

The newsboy shielded himself from the scorching sun with one hand, and protected his cross-body bag with the other, looking at him sweating profusely, his eyes full of longing and anticipation.

"Sorry, I don't smoke."

Chen Lun said softly.

The newsboy was a little disappointed, he said he was sorry to bother him, and was about to leave, but at this moment Chen Lun stopped him again.

"Give me a newspaper, don't look for it, the rest is your tip."

Chen Lun took out a silver medal and handed it over.

The newsboy seemed extremely pleasantly surprised. Newspapers are not very easy to sell in Vulture City. People here are not interested in the so-called news and worry about making a living all day long. They are not as attractive as cigarettes.

"Thank you, generous sir!"

The newsboy quickly took out a newspaper from his messenger bag and was about to hand it to Chen Lun. After thinking about it, he took out another one.

"You gave too much money, I will give you an extra newspaper."

Chen Lun couldn't help smiling.

It doesn't make much sense to have an extra newspaper, but he also knows that this is the only way for the little guy in front of him to express his gratitude, so he readily accepts it.

After walking for a while with the newspaper, Chen Lun didn't find even a wooden bench for pedestrians to rest. In desperation, he had no choice but to find a slightly shady place by the side of the road and sit on the floor.

He casually opened the newspaper and looked at it, but he was surprised to find that at this stage when the whole empire was singing the praises of the victory of the war, there was actually a negative report about the Western War on the side page.

"Shocking! The occupied area is littered with corpses!"

"According to the investigation of relevant personnel, in the four provinces around Zhuangmu City in the United Kingdom of Anlong, including [-] villages, countless local residents died tragically for no reason!"

"Headed by the Marquis of Giovanni, a total of 32 nobles jointly protested, hoping that the royal family can severely punish individual officers of the expeditionary force for carrying out cruel 'massacre activities' in the occupied area, and declared that the Cuisul Empire is famous for its modern civilization, and should not Such an inhumane act."

"Journalists from many mainstream newspapers, including Bauhinia News, Tourmaline News and Sunshine Post, went to the occupied area to investigate, but were treated roughly by the garrison and strictly prohibited from entering the interview. This is undoubtedly a violation of citizens' right to know. The newspaper seriously suspects that there are conspiracies and secrets hidden in it! I hope the parliament and the royal family can give the public an answer!"

Chen Lun looked at the newspaper and felt a little puzzled.

In his impression, it is unlikely that the Imperial Army would engage in such behavior, but it cannot be ruled out that some officers are extremely racist and would hate the Anlong people very much.

But even so, ordinary military officers are unlikely to dare to disobey orders and massacre captives and local residents without authorization.

Chen Lun felt that there was an important secret behind this incident.

After folding the newspaper and placing it under the tree, he turned and left.

A week later.

The time has entered August, and the temperature has reached its peak.

Chen Lun led the team back to the Royal City Tourmaline Kloster.

After setting up his subordinates, he immediately used the "cloud leap" to go to the headquarters of the Council of Generosity, and met his immediate boss, Speaker Azgirlo.

In the huge secret chamber, the speaker is still wearing the same gray robe, sitting plainly and quietly on the high seat of ebony.

"Jack, thank you for the two-month expedition with the army."

The speaker said softly, and kindly asked him to sit down.

"The main force is the imperial military, and I only did some small things."

Chen Lun shook his head after taking his seat.

The Speaker gave him a meaningful look.

"There is a detailed report on the prince's desk, which contains several key shots of yours, including the 'Battle of Hercule Bridgehead', 'Battle of the Windsor River' and 'Battle of Naples Forest Castle', etc... It can be Said, you have made great contributions in the southwest battlefield."

He then lightly raised his index finger, and a dark shadow fell on the round marble table in front of Chen Lun, revealing two small wooden boxes immediately.

"As the consul of the Senate, you are already quite qualified. This Western War has won glory for the Parliament. Your deeds will be passed on among the members of the Senate. I should also give you the reward you deserve."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and the council for your trust and support. I will continue to perform my duties as always."

Chen Lun lowered his head and said.

Immediately, under the signal of the speaker, he opened two wooden boxes.

In the wooden box on the left, there is a sunflower-shaped badge inside. The speaker explained at the right time that this was sent by Prince Dazlet. The Sun Medal", there are not many people who can obtain this honor in history.

Although there is no substantive award, the prince said that with the medal, Chen Lun's baronship will be promoted to viscount.

As for the wooden box on the right, there is a strange chip the size of a finger inside. Its color is hard to describe, and the surface also shows a constantly flowing luster.

"This is a high-sequence mysterious substance of the destiny system. I got it by chance during this period of time, and it will be used as a reward for you."

Speaker Azgil Rodo.

"You should soon complete the mysterious accumulation and prepare for the saint's promotion ceremony. It is an indispensable thing."

"Thank you, Speaker."

Chen Lun thanked him politely.

In fact, he has a high-sequence substance of the destiny system on hand, which Philip once entrusted to Arnold at the dark end of the fairyland and handed it over to him.

Including the one given by the speaker, there are two copies.

However, the saint's ascension ceremony required only one copy, which made Chen Lun somewhat "happy troubles" and didn't know what to use it for.

"Jack, how much do you know about the holy ritual?"

At this moment, Azgilro sat on a high seat and spoke softly.

Chen Lun didn't know why the speaker asked such a question, but he answered honestly:

"The 'Saint Ceremony' is the only way for mid-sequence transcendents to move towards high-sequence. Although it is also a kind of promotion ceremony, it is far more difficult than before. , countless transcendent beings trekking on the path of God..."

He paused for a while, and after seeing the speaker nodded slightly, he continued:

"As a ritual for transforming from a 'mortal' to a 'mythical creature', no matter what the path is, it has several fixed and rigid requirements... First, it must have its own path, or the complete Sequence Four mythological knowledge of the adjacent path, and Possess a corresponding high-sequence mysterious substance. The second is that the mysterious accumulation of Sequence Five reaches its peak. The last is to have a certain influence... This kind of influence is similar to reputation. Whether it is good or bad, it must be in a certain area It is even known within the country.”

"The summary is very good. It seems that you have worked hard to find relevant information and intelligence during this time..."

Speaker Azgielo gave him an approving look.

"But you have fallen into two misunderstandings, or you can only see the surface."

"Misunderstandings and appearances?"

Chen Lun frowned slightly, and immediately said sincerely:

"Master Speaker, please clarify."

Azgiro nodded and chuckled lightly.

"First of all, it is not necessary to have a high-level substance corresponding to the path of the saint ceremony. There are many high-ranking people in history. When they were promoted to saints, they never had high-level substances...the reason why they have it is because It can increase the success rate of promotion, otherwise the risk of losing control is too great."

"So that's how it is..."

Chen Lun was stunned.

"It is like a 'medicine guide', acting as a 'guide' of strength, allowing the promoted to adapt to the transformation process faster."

"'Medicine introduction'? Well, the guide of the effect of the medicine...It's a very vivid metaphor."

The speaker chewed on this unfamiliar vocabulary and nodded in agreement.

"In addition, the Saint Ritual does not only have a high-level material corresponding to the path. On the contrary, the more you prepare, the more mysterious accumulation you can obtain after the promotion is successful... Theoretically speaking, as long as there is With enough high-level substances, one can even reach the limit of Sequence Four while being promoted to a saint."

Chen Lun frowned.

'According to what the speaker said, I have two high-level materials of the destiny system on hand. If the promotion is successful, I will probably 'skip'?The level of the main profession soared directly?This is good news... It can save a lot of accumulated time. After all, the experience value required for leveling up is already quite exaggerated, and it may be even bigger after a high position! '

Speaker Azgilro continued:
"As for the influence you mentioned, it's not accurate...in fact, it should be called 'anchor point', 'brand' or 'landmark'. It is a necessary thing for high-ranking people to expand their power and maintain their humanity, so from the holy This is the law of the mysterious field, and it is also an extraordinary law that has not been handed down but must be obeyed."

After listening to the speaker's explanation, Chen Lun couldn't help being a little surprised.

He didn't expect that the simple point on the panel about the "Saint Promotion Mission" actually had a more essential explanation in this world.

After understanding this, he has a clearer understanding of the power of high-ranking people... It is a dimension of power that transcends the ordinary, and it even needs to be in the hearts of the people, no, it should be said that it is in the hearts of any living beings, even In the inanimate but substantive world, an indescribable "anchor" is dropped, so as to obtain the supreme mythical power!
"Thank you for your answer, Speaker."

After taking a deep breath, Chen Lun had more expectations for the saint ceremony he was about to face.
