After lunch.

  Chen Lun received a reply from the messenger from the Spirit World of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

  The pig's head showed an expression of awe, and handed over an envelope from the wall.

  After Chen Lun took it, it swished away.

  'Why are you so afraid of me... I, Jack, am not a devil. '

  He rolled his eyes and opened the envelope.

  The letter recorded in detail the current situation of the Red Apple Church around Amber City. Because of the previous gallery incident and the battle of the square, they temporarily abandoned the city.

  Even in several neighboring metropolises, the Red Apple Church voluntarily withdrew and gave up to other churches.

  However, in this area, there are still three church branches in small towns. Chen Lun speculates that this may be the successor of the Red Apple Church, and it is very likely to start in the future and make a comeback.

  ‘Don’t leave any hidden dangers... on the way to Sunflower City, destroy them all by the way! '

  Chen Lun made up his mind.

  ‘Byers reminded me that I can’t travel directly between the two cities’ spiritual worlds… I happened to leave Amber City by train, kill the three branch churches, and then enter the spiritual world from there. '

real world.

   Azure Federation.

   Gorgeous city.

  A 100-story skyscraper stands in the center of the city where the lights are shining. The outer walls on all four sides are made of translucent glass made of black technology composite materials, which can also be used as a projection screen.

  On the black and blue glass on the front of the building, a dynamic projection font with a sense of technology emerges, and the golden brilliance is eye-catching-"Flash Eagle Group-Hero's Headquarters"!

  Dongyang, the vice president of the Heroic Pavilion, is sitting in a conference room of hundreds of square meters at this time. The whole body is white and extremely bright.

  Beside the oval conference table, dozens of senior guild leaders were sitting.

  The chairman was talking about the financial situation of this quarter on the stage. Dongyang didn't pay attention to it, but picked up a magazine at hand. The person on the cover was Dongyang himself.

  "The group is very satisfied with our work situation. Since the public beta of "Age of Mysteries", the reputation of Heroic Spirit Hall has grown, and the various business activities we have accepted have also achieved historic progress..."

  President Xiaoguang was still talking excitedly, Dongyang flipped through the magazine again.

  One of the pages introduced the Heroic Pavilion Guild in detail. It belongs to one of the three largest consortiums in the Azure Federation, the Flash Eagle Group, also known as the Golden Consortium.

  The guild has spread across many games, but now the main focus is on "The Age of Mysteries".

   But this is not an isolated phenomenon. In addition to the golden consortium "Flash Eagle", the black consortium "Doug" and the red consortium "Amnesia Dancer" also attach great importance to this game and have invested a lot of money and manpower.

  It seems that there is some huge treasure in this game.

  As one of the most core executives, Dongyang knows in his heart that earning credit points by increasing popularity and using traffic and monopoly is only the smallest of the consortium's many purposes.

  He once talked about this matter with the chairman Xiaoguang, and Xiaoguang revealed a very secret information, that is, the reason why the three consortiums attach so much importance to this game comes from the federal officials.

  "Age of Mysteries" is not just as simple as the first "holographic game" of the next era, its development team is actually an official scientist of the Federation! …

  Although Dongyang thought it was nonsense when he heard the news for the first time, it was the truth.

  Those scientists who have been arguing all day about how to get out of the solar wind have actually studied the game. No matter who knows the truth, they will not believe it.

  Xiaoguang also mentioned that the birth of "Secret Age" was an accidental and accidental data evolution of the federal central computer, and it was also an attempt by those scientists.

  Dongyang was shocked by the truth behind this game.

   But as some of the smartest and most knowledgeable people in the world, no one knows what they are doing.

  Xiaoguang finally said that the game "Secret Age" must have hidden deeper secrets, which prompted the three major consortiums to continuously increase their investment in it. Not to mention that the three major financial groups have benefited a lot from it, even if they lose money, they will not hesitate.

  This is the conclusion that Chairman Xiao Guang deduced based on the attitude of the upper management of the group.

  Dongyang also asked the chairman, where did he get these inside information...

  Xiao Guang said mysteriously that this was a slip of the tongue by his uncle inadvertently.

  Dongyang felt at the time that the news was highly credible. Because he once heard Xiaoguang mention that the uncle of the other party is an official high-level official of the Azure Federation, and is also a member of the Azure Holy Cult...

  Zhanlan Shengjiao is the only legal religion in the Federation, and it is also an elite group. Only the top talents in various industries can join it.

  The group of scientists in the federal government is almost all members of the Holy Church!

   "Okay, this meeting will come here first... Dongyang, Ma Ren and Kuangbenkuang, you three stay here, and the rest of the meeting ends first."

  Xiao Guang turned off the conference projection and spoke.

  All the senior officials of the Heroic Spiritual Pavilion got up and left one after another, leaving three men.

   "President, I have something to explain."

  Dongyang closed the magazine and withdrew his thoughts.

"The person in charge of the handover of the group appreciated our work and decided to increase resource scheduling. Our reimbursement share in the game will also greatly increase... You three have made great contributions to the development of the first stage of the guild. I The master will give you a bonus."

  Xiao Guang laughed.

"How many?"

  Dongyang glanced at the gleaming eyes of the horseman and Kuangben beside him, and asked a question of concern on their behalf.

   Xiaoguang shook his head upon seeing this.

   "Not too much, not too much... 10 million credit points per person."

   "President, I love you!"

  The horseman is a big and strong man, and he is about to give him a bear hug, so scared that Xiaoguang, who is 1.65 meters tall, dodges back.

   "These money is enough for you to buy a small apartment of your own in Splendid City. Continue to work hard in the future and strive to bring your family here to live as soon as possible."

   Dongyang smiled and encouraged the two people around him.

  He himself is not short of money. With the development of the federation, inflation is getting worse and worse. To be honest, Dongyang doesn't care much about this bonus.

  The centaur and Kuang Ben Kuang responded in unison.

at this time.

  The expressions of the three were stunned at the same time, and the personal terminal on the arm vibrated. They clicked a few times, and a projected light screen popped up.

   "There is an event trigger in the game, it is Jack's task!"

   "Go, hurry to the game cabin!"...

   Dongyang made a gesture and ran towards the door of the conference room first. Seeing this, the horseman and Kuangbenkuang hurriedly followed.

   "Jack and the circus are the most important game resources of our Heroes Hall. The guilds supported by the other two financial groups should have realized the importance of Jack by now. We can't lose the chain at a critical moment..."

  Dongyang ran wildly in the clean and spacious white corridor.

   "We are clear, vice president."

  The horseman said.

   Soon they came to the company's game cabin, which was like a warehouse, huge and spacious, full of neat game cabins, and almost all of them were lying down, sleeping with their eyes closed.

   At first glance, the number is no less than a thousand.

   But that's not all. The company also has such areas on other floors, and even has branches in other bustling cities.

  The three of Dongyang found their own exclusive game cabin, lay down in it as quickly as possible, and then linked the game.

  *

  *

  *

   Jack Manor.

  On the lawn of the spacious backyard, a group of players is gathering, nearly a hundred of them.

  These people were divided into several groups with clear distinctions.

  The leaders among them are Dongyang, Chenxi, Goutoujin and others.

  Polaris sat alone on the grass, and when some players went up to talk to them, they were dissuaded by his indifferent attitude.

  Su Keying and Wei Yin whispered on the other side, and there were several female players with strange faces standing beside them, all of whom were rich women and group friends who came here for Jack.

   "Why hasn't Jack come yet?"

   "I don't know... The nun asked us to wait here, please be calm. Just now, two guys were idle and bored, **** on the grass, and were killed by that man named Golov."

  Su Keying played a section, and the female player next to her immediately gave a gasp in disgust.

   "Fortunately, you typed the code, otherwise I would have a needle eye."

   One of the female players named "Yoyujuro" said.

  The other Jimeis rolled their eyes. This guy is usually the most active in the group. He often goes to Qiuming Mountain late at night, and the group has been blocked several times.

  If you really want to have a needle eye, it is probably because you have watched too much, and your eyes are overworked.

   Then they turned their heads and glanced at the shade not far away, where a bearded man was standing quietly, dressed in black, staring at them motionlessly, like some trailing "gentleman".

   "Talking about the cadres of the circus, it's scary no matter what..."

   "Not really, that tall and chubby painter is quite cute, and he is shy when he talks."

   Several female players were discussing.

  Smoking a cigarette, Golov stared at the group of undead. He followed the order of the leader and was responsible for maintaining order so that they would not mess around.

   Fortunately, two unruly ones were killed to frighten them, and ten Gao Wan who are full members of the circus were persuaded, and the others are now obediently waiting in place.

   not long.

   Accompanied by Fu Luoyin, Chen Lun came to the backyard of the manor.

  He was still dressed as a young gentleman, with a black suit and black hat, and a silver cane in his hand. The only difference was that he added a large black windbreaker.

  With the arrival of Chen Lun, the players looked at him one after another.

   "This is Jack?!"…

   "I finally saw him with my own eyes! I only saw him on CG before! Thank you Goutoujin and Forgotten Wuji for bringing us here to increase the world!"

   "So handsome! This kind of person will only appear in the game!"

   "..."

  Dongyang Chenxi Polaris and ten other high-ranking players walked over together.

  They are full of expectations. This time Jack summoned players and relaxed the number of players. There must be some big move.

   "Mr. Jack."

  The high-level players greeted each other.

   "It's a pleasure to meet you again, fellow foreign warriors."

  Chen Lun responded with a smile.

  He glanced at the many players present, and his eyes flashed with relief, as if he had turned into an old farmer standing in the field during the autumn harvest.

   These players generally have level 13 or 4 and belong to various guilds. They used to be active in the plague villages around Amber City. After coming to Amber City, they joined organizations such as the Sheriff's Office and the Iron Fist Gang.

  According to the guild's intelligence and strategies, they either help the public security station maintain order in the city, clear up some lawbreakers and diseased animals, or participate in gang fights in Xiashuitan.

   It has gone through a lot of cleaning and tempering, and it has left the category of cuteness.

  However, at this stage of the version, it is just a transitional adaptation period for players, and what they can come into contact with are some common sense but extremely common tasks and scenes.

  This makes them have a deep desire and "resentment" for the mysterious domain and the transcendent.

   Fortunately, this time because of the ten high-level players, they finally had the opportunity to participate in the so-called "big mission"... and this is mostly an event involving the mysterious field, which makes every player look forward to it.

  At the same time, this is also an opportunity, an opportunity for them to become official members of the circus!

   "I need your help to call everyone here this time."

   Chen Lun said in a deep voice.

  His voice is not loud, but it can be clearly transmitted to every player's ears.

  "Fate guides me, the empire will be in turmoil, and the red disaster will sweep the land...Everyone can't stay out of it, this is an unprecedented crisis!"

   The players couldn't help but look at each other.

  The guild has a detailed graphic introduction to the NPC Jack. About his deeds, two documents can be filled, and these players are more or less familiar with it.

  The Red Apple Church in Amber City tried to sacrifice innocent people, and even descended to the incarnation of the saint, but Jack stopped them all by himself. The extraordinary battle that took place at that time was extremely fierce, and the mixed clip that recorded the scene at that time was still at the top of the game forum for players to talk about.

   Didn’t expect this to be a harbinger of disaster that could cause turmoil in the empire? !

   In other words, this is the main plot!

  The eyes of the players are full of surprise and expectation, and they are eager to try.

  Chen Lun took a step forward, and the invisible momentum was spreading, and every player felt his breath stagnate.

   "The Red Apple Church in Amber City has been uprooted by me, but there are still three church branches standing in this area... I need you to work together to destroy them together!"

   He said in a deep voice.

  All the players were stunned for a moment, and they received the task reminder in unison.

  【Trigger B-level hidden main task: Jack's determination! 】

  Mission description: "Fate Guidance" Jack Speight discovered the source of the disaster in advance, and it is from the Red Apple Church, one of the seven righteous **** churches of the Trisur Empire! …

  Before the curtain of the disaster officially opened, he decided to act first and clear all the branches of the Red Apple Church in the urban agglomeration area with Amber City as the core!

  Mission Objective: The destruction of the Red Apple Church in Bingnuo Town, Youdou Town and Honghua Town (0/3)!

  Mission rewards: 5000 experience points, 10 gold pounds, silver snake ring (a keepsake for official members of the circus), and a black crystal weapon (choose one of the dagger and wand)*1

  "!

  ”

  The players were in an uproar.

   "Level B hides the main mission!"

   They hurriedly accepted the task, and then chatted wildly in their respective chat rooms.

   Originally thought that such a big event was still far away from me, but now I actually participated in the main storyline!

  While dozens of millions of other players are still struggling to level up, they have already come into contact with the main line of version 1.0 in advance!

   This is really exciting!

  The ten high-ranking players were also shocked. They looked at each other, then looked forward tacitly, and set their sights on the handsome and mysterious black-haired gentleman.

   "—The importance of Jack is beyond doubt. Only by following him can we participate in the main story to a great extent!"

   Dongyang made a speech.

   "—Isn't this nonsense! During the closed beta, we already had a deep understanding!"

  Gold Reply.

   Polaris, Su Keying and others on the side nodded.

   "—No, you don't understand what I mean...Even among the three major guilds and players scattered in every corner of the world map, none of them has triggered the main story! Do you know what this means?"

   Dongyang said.

   Hearing what he said, the others came to their senses and were stunned.

   "—Here, Jack is the key person who starts the main line of version 1.0!"

  Chenxi sent a message.

  Others suddenly felt inexplicably excited.

   "The Red Apple Church has committed a heinous crime! They have become corrupt and have lost the bottom line and principles they should have as an orthodox church! Deceit, kidnapping, murder and sacrifice... they are doing everything they can, and they are a thoroughly evil force!"

  Polaris suddenly raised his arms and shouted.

  The high-level players around him were taken aback, and the other players were also a little surprised.

  Even Chen Lun glanced at him in confusion.

  'Hey, I haven't splashed dirty water yet, how can this kid be so good at it! '

   "Let us follow in the footsteps of Mr. Jack and eradicate the branch of the Red Apple Church! Eliminate unnecessary hidden dangers before disaster strikes!"

  Polaris shouted coldly, raising his fist high.

  The other players suddenly felt excited, cheered, sharpened their swords.

   "Kill the Red Apple Church!"

   "Rubbish rotten apples must be wiped out!"

   "Haha, our first big mission is to face off against the Church of the Seven Great Gods. It's so exciting!"

  Chen Lun on the side looked at these playful players, then at Polaris, and smiled secretly.

  'This kid...'
