Chapter 467 S-level branch line and vision potion

  At this time, a task prompt popped up on Chen Lun's panel—

  【You have triggered the "S-level side mission: Prince of Tragedy"! 】

  Mission description: From Princess Anna, you have learned about the past of the eldest son of the sun, Anuo, and he is the **** "Scorching Sun" believed by the Sun Cross Society. Anna wants to follow the guidance of fate and the oracle of "Scorching Sun", kill Prince Dazlet, eliminate the predicted catastrophe, and help "Scorching Sun" get out of trouble.

  Princess Anna has sent you an invitation.

   (Rejection will cause unknown consequences, please choose carefully!)

   Mission objective: Dazlet Trisul died.

  Mission rewards: 100W experience points, 1W gold pounds, 50 points of regional popularity, 20 attribute points, 10 special attribute points, 1 blessing point, and Anna Trisul's favorability.

  'S-level branch line...the rewards are really rich. '

  Chen Lun fell into a brief thought.

  He weighed the pros and cons in his mind, knowing that if he refused Anna's invitation, the other party's favorability would drop to a freezing point, and even conflicts would arise.

  Being able to serve as the leader of a secret organization, Princess Anna cannot be a merciful master. Since she let herself know these secrets, she will not allow herself to reveal them.

   Once the face is torn apart, even if you can use the cloud leap to escape, it will be difficult to operate in Wangcheng, and everything you do here will be ruined.

  Turn your head to inform Prince Dazlet?

  Chen Lun could not produce conclusive evidence.

  How could the royal family believe in the one-sided words of an "outsider" and point the finger at the Sun King's beloved daughter.

and…

  ‘Arnold is Philip’s best friend, and he also regards me as a friend. If it weren’t for him, I might have been lost at the dark end of Wonderland. Froy's ancestor, Athena, also died because of Dazlet's informant...'

  Chen Lun turned his head and glanced at the dancing roots in Floyd's palm, took a deep breath and said:

   "Well, Your Royal Highness, I think I already know how to choose..."

  He secretly accepted the task, and looked at Princess Anna again.

  "I promise to help you, but it can't be unconditional support...I can only say that I will do my best."

   "Thanks, but that's enough."

  Princess Anna smiled.

   "The 9th of next month will be Dazlet's 23rd birthday. At that time, the royal palace will hold a grand dinner to celebrate...and that day will also be the date of his death."

  She briefly explained the plan to Chen Lun.

"Usually, his daily life and going out activities will be accompanied by five 'Sacred Guards' who are secretly protecting him. It is difficult to find an opportunity to assassinate... But the day of the birthday dinner is an exception. At that time, they will have other tasks and will temporarily Leave Dazlet for a while."

   "Even so, it's not easy to kill him."

   Chen Lun frowned.

   "There will be a lot of important figures gathered at the royal palace dinner, even the top leaders of the Church of the Seven Gods will be there... And, in front of His Majesty the Sun King, how are you going to kill him?"

   "Father will not come to the dinner party... He has not shown up for many years, even two years ago, he was absent from my coming-of-age ceremony."

  Princess Anna shook her head calmly.

   "As for how I will do it, I'm sorry, I can't tell you for the time being... But when the time comes, I will need a little cooperation from you."

   "..."

  Chen Lun frowned slightly.

   After a moment of silence, he sighed.

   "Okay... But Your Highness Anna, since you are unwilling to disclose specific actions, then if the actual situation at that time puts me in a very dangerous situation, I will refuse to participate."

   "Don't worry, you won't be in any danger."

  Anna said softly.

  Looking at her serious eyes, Chen Lun nodded.

   In the following time, the two tacitly stopped talking about this topic, but chatted about something else, just like an exchange between ordinary friends.

   After two cups of tea, Princess Anna got up to say goodbye.

   Together with Floyd, Chen Lun accompanied her back to where the carriage was, and watched the carriage slowly leave from the path illuminated by street lights.

  Standing in place for a while, Chen Lun recalled what Princess Anna said before, and suddenly his eyes froze, and he realized something was wrong.

  ‘The Oracle of the Sun…’

  Chen Lun said something in his heart.

  Although he hasn’t known Arnold for a long time, he also sees that with his personality and behavior, he shouldn’t have issued an oracle to Anna and the believers to “kill his younger brother Dazlet to help him get out of trouble”.

Let’s not talk about his current situation, whether he still has a clear mind and can issue an oracle... That is, when Chen Lun and A Nuo parted ways, he asked him why he didn’t leave together. A Nuo’s answer was to stay at the end of the darkness It is his mission to hunt darkness forever.

   So why would He want to get out?

   This is clearly contradictory...

  'Is the pollution changing Arnold's mind? Or is it true that He has always hated his younger brother Dazlet...'

  Chen Lun was a little uncertain.

  He didn't even know whether the back of the "skeleton" he saw at the end of the darkness was dead or alive.

   Arnold's current true state is ultimately unknown.

  In the end, Chen Lun could only sigh secretly, and put these thoughts into his heart.

  *

  *

  *

   Time passed in a blink of an eye for a week.

  The order issued by Prince Dazlet has been gradually conveyed from the royal city to all parts of the empire. The official shelters, the seven righteous **** churches, and many supernatural forces, large and small, have responded to the call one after another and began to recruit more undead strangers to prepare for the next step into the spirit world and hunt the spread of pollution.

  Chen Lun's generous parliament is no exception.

  But since he is currently in charge of the Wangcheng branch, only circus players are kept under his command. However, he was not idle, and took this opportunity to expand the "recruitment quota" and deliberately sent some messages to the player group.

   Knowing that Jack's Circus is recruiting, the game forum has once again set off a wave of enthusiasm during this period of time. Numerous related posts have popped up. The good news has been spread wildly, which has aroused enthusiastic responses from players.

  This extraordinary organization that has been "highly productive" elite players since the closed beta has attracted the attention of many players. Those of you who play "The Age of Mysteries" now don't know that the "circus" is one of the best places to go, let's not talk about the various exclusive benefits inside, just say that the players in the group are all bigwigs on the leaderboard, Knowing a few people to learn from is not hundreds of times better than doing it yourself?

   And a very important point is the head of the circus, Jack Speight.

  This NPC had an extremely bright moment in the previous version, and with the series of related special videos released by "little fan girl" Su Keying, players all know that under his command, they can reap benefits that are difficult for others to obtain.

  So all of a sudden, many players who were close to the royal city rushed over.

   It just so happens that version 2.0 has increased the player's level limit, and most of the players in the second echelon have been successfully promoted and become superhumans, reaching the threshold for recruiting circuses.

  During this week, more than 3,000 players successfully joined the circus.

  The number of elite players under Chen Lun has directly reached more than 5,000, of which about 1,000 belong to Sequence Eight Transcendents.

  Polaris is still the only mid-sequence player, far ahead.

this day.

  Chen Lun is in his room, preparing the editing panel to issue related tasks to his players. After all, according to Prince Dazlet's request, he should officially start hunting in the spirit world in a few days.

   tuk tuk...

  There was a knock on the door.

  Chen Lun had just got up, and the knock on the door became more urgent, and even turned into a knock on the door, as if the people outside were in a hurry and rushed to the toilet.

  He rolled his eyes, walked over and opened the door.

  Judging the sound of knocking on the door through [General Knowledge of the Five Senses], Chen Lun already knew who was outside the door, so he was not angry. A young woman with disheveled hair was leaning against the doorway, with one hand propping up the door frame and the other half-raised.

   "Maggie, can you be softer next time you knock on the door? I'm going to have a heart attack."

  Chen Lun pointed helplessly at the door, beckoning her to come in.

  Maggie ignored his words, followed into the room, and took out a bottle of purple potion.

   "Leader! The research on the potion was successful!"

  She threw the purple glass bottle in front of Chen Lun as if claiming credit.

"This is a new type of potion researched according to your request, based on the principle of "The Third Edition of True Sight Potion"... Although it is not as effective as the original version, the cost is also greatly reduced. Of course, there will be a little bit of insignificance. The price, that doesn't matter... By the way, I even named it 'Tears of Sensitive Puppy'! What do you think?"

"Forehead…"

  Looking at Maggie's expectant eyes, Chen Lun nodded seriously and appreciatively.

   "Fine, Maggie, I feel fine."

   "Hahaha... I knew it, you know how to appreciate my talent, leader."

   Maggie laughed with her arms akimbo.

  Chen Lun coughed, took the medicine and sat on a chair, and directly used the panel to conduct some investigation.

  He frowned.

  The results showed that it fully met the expectations in my heart.

  Although the effect of the medicine can only last for 3 seconds, it can increase the perception attribute by 20 points, which is enough for the player to spy on the cracks in the spiritual world.

'This potion can be used as an exclusive prop for the circus, and it will serve as the core consumables and necessities for players to participate in the main quest for a long time to come... More importantly, it is far more than similar props for shelters, churches and other forces Cheap! '

  Chen Lun smiled.

Of course, it’s not perfect, as Maggie said, it has a little side effect... that is, within one minute after taking the potion, the life value will drop by 50%, accompanied by heart angina and gastric perforation , hemorrhage in the liver, and tears from both eyes.

  'Hmm... I believe these are nothing to the brave and fearless foreign warriors. '

   Chen Lun nodded, thinking.

   Immediately afterwards, he asked Maggie whether this medicine could be mass-produced in a short period of time, and the specific cost.

"Leader, compared to the previous potions, 'Sensitive Puppy's Tears' does not consume many materials, it only costs 30 silver goblets... As for the production, there is [Proficient Beaker], you can do it once The volume of 30 tubes of liquid medicine is prepared continuously, and it is uninterrupted for 24 hours."

  Maggie answered truthfully.

  Chen Lun is quite satisfied with the result.

  He took out a certificate from the Imperial Bank with 50,000 gold pounds written on it, and handed it to Maggie, asking her to make the medicine with all her strength in the next period of time, and said that she could ask the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce for help to purchase the required materials.

  According to previous life experience, the consumption of this potion will be very large, and players are limited by their own level and strength, so they are very dependent on it. It can be said that if you want to participate in the main mission plot, you must have this "ticket" to enter the main stage "spirit world".

   And every time they enter the spirit world, players need to consume one.

  If they die in the spirit world, they will be reborn from the resurrection point in this world, and if they want to enter again, they have to consume another one.

  So Chen Lun intends to take advantage of this opportunity in the current version, and earn some "hard work" from the players... After all, other forces, this kind of thing is too expensive, and even need to use force contribution. But the circus is different. Mr. Jack, the head of the circus, in order to let the warriors in a foreign land buy this potion at a low price, worked hard to find the formula, and urged the cadres to research and develop it day and night, and finally achieved results.

  So this "hard work", Chen Lun feels very embarrassing.

   He deserved it.

  ‘For you, I really paid a lot...’

   Chen Lun sighed in his heart.

  At the same time, he was silently renaming the potion. After all, according to Maggie, it was really inappropriate.

  ‘Since it is a low-profile version of ‘True Vision Potion’, let’s call it ‘Spiritual Vision Potion’...’

  *

  *

  *

   After a few days.

  On August 12th, players officially started the main task of version 2.0.

This time is different from the faction confrontation in version 1.0. Almost all players have the same goal, which is to hunt and kill polluted creatures in the spirit world as much as possible, and there are corresponding tasks according to the strength of the killed target. Rewards and points, and finally the prize pool will be settled at the end of the task.

   It was also at this time that the rather unfamiliar word "spirit world" gradually entered the field of vision of most players.

  In the game forum, popular science about the "spiritual world" began to increase. Only then did players realize that the world they had been active in was only the superficial world, and there was another world overlapping it.

  However, a huge problem lies in front of them.

   That is, where is the "spirit world"?

  How do I get in?

  Through popular science, I learned that you need to reach 30 points of perception before you can explore the cracks, and then enter the spiritual world from the cracks... However, that is a panel attribute that only mid-sequence transcendents can have.

   This made most players dumbfounded.

  With the military supplies released by the forces of each player, they found a way, which is to use medicine to make up for the defect of attributes, so as to enter the spirit world. However, the price of these medicines is quite expensive, causing the players to complain for a while.

  Related popular posts on game forums:

   "—The "True Sight Potion" in the shelter is actually priced at 5 gold pounds a piece. Although it can be replaced by power contribution, it is too expensive...After ten days and a half months, how much will it cost?!"

"—You are not bad, the Association of History and Ceremony, and the Hailing Regiment are more expensive, and some non-church forces even need more than a dozen gold pounds each, crazy, let it go People playing? I only saved a few hundred gold pounds in the last version, so how many times have I been in it for a while?"

"—Don't be so pessimistic, according to the description of the main mission, and some old irons revealed that the polluted creatures hunted and killed in the spirit world will explode extraordinary materials, which can be exchanged for money and contribution, and will not make your income and expenditure unbalanced .”

   "—hahaha! Guess what? The Circus' Spirit Vision Potion only costs 1 f*cking gold coin! Several of our brothers in the guild group laughed stupidly!"

   "—???"

  "—I heard that Jack is still recruiting, so he might as well be apostate."

   "—The Church of the Sun doesn't matter!"

   Stuck badly, in pain...
