Chapter 164： Return to Emerald Town (2 in 1)

Chapter 164 Return to Emerald Town (2 in 1)

"—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 this 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 power in name to serve as an affiliation in the 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 needs your help..."

Polaris saw this and understood the name of his faction, 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 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..."

Polaris saw this, his eyes lit up.

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

This can't help but give him confidence and expectations for the other two "exquisite weapons" produced by his own forces, especially because they are "bombs"! This kind of powerful prop is the favorite of players!

The server public beta has just started. Players are in a low-level stage 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!

"Yes, 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' 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 regular members in the future...

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

Polaris browsed the contents of the letter, her 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.

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

Polaris' confidence soars.

Jack said at the end of the letter 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 receive quests 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 finished reading the letter?"

The horseman said.

Polaris looked at him and nodded.

"Then, it's useless to keep this letter, why not 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 auctioned.

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

"Hey bro 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."

"Ok."

Polaris snorted through his nose, and then, together with the two of them, walked into the gate of the manor.

The two gatekeepers had seen the token, so they let them in.

Not long after the trio of players 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 bit of horror.

Throwing "Investigation", except that the name is "Golof", 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 a Transcendent 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 head of the group. 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 the 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 lobby 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 have seen her before, I thought she was just an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to be so stupid... Jack's team is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"

The horseman replied.

Polaris lost "exploration", the expected horizontal bars are unknown, and a brighter red "very deadly".

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

Floy spoke with an ethereal voice.

"It's both rude 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, churning, enveloping 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, 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!

During the period when the closed beta is over and the public beta starts, they are not idle. 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.

But it can also be seen that this blind girl named "Floy" must have a high insight attribute!

"—Has the favorability decreased?"

The centaur cast a gloating look.

"—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 thinking 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, Floyd really felt the feeling of being spied on, which was the perception warning shared by [Back-sun Potted Plant] to her. At the same time, it also stimulated the autonomous protection of [Black Mist Cloak].

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

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

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

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

The notebook was opened, and the column "Circus Daily Mission 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 they 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, and wait for Jack to come back by the way.

This idea has been unanimously approved.

So they accepted the same entrusted mission, which was to act as bodyguards to protect a wealthy businessman in the inner city of Amber City. The mission 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 prices of the items are also marked. Basically, they need currency plus contribution, and the tricks are based on this, plus a certain amount of mysterious substances.

"—too strong! My Captain Jack!"

The horseman sighed with emotion.

"—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 this is 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."

Floy smiled softly.

"—Since this is the 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, Xiaoguang, and apply for reimbursement."

The horse sent a text message.

Looking at this message, Polaris secretly sighed.

He knew that this was the advantage of the guild.

Just like the current situation of the horse people, when they encounter a top opportunity, but they are only short of money, this 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 "Hall of Heroes".

Not only did it gain a reputation and show its signs at the beginning of the public beta, but it also gave the guild 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 horsemen asked Floyd specifically about the "contribution to the circus".

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

One gold pound is exchanged for a little contribution.

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

They have 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 10,000 yuan in reality.

The cheapest monsters in the catalog cost 60 gold pounds, which is equivalent to 600,000. What's more, extraordinary knowledge costs hundreds of gold pounds, and equal contribution is required.

Calculated in this way, a piece of extraordinary knowledge of [Sequence 9] needs hundreds of millions? !

It's really scary expensive!

Even if there is a super consortium behind the "Gallery of Heroes", will they really pay such a price for a superhuman?

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 financial group will only think it is too little, not too expensive.

But for Polaris and Su Keying, the difficulty is too high. 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 the extra points to horses. people or the guild behind them."

Polaris sent a text message to Su Keying.

"-To understanding."

Hoo!

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 was put away by him.

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

However, Chen Lun was also very tired, and 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 physical strength 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 on both...wings.

During the flight in the wild, 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 you can see sparse troops traveling long distances, as if they are going somewhere to carry out suppression operations.

'The public beta has started, let's contact the player group to see...'

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

‘There are three short-term goals. One is to use the 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 Association', um... this is a very important boost. '

While meditating, Chen Lun realized that he had arrived outside Emerald Town.

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.

The side is also covered with a white sheet cloth.

Arranged neatly in a row, it seems that they are waiting to be burned.

Many guys with expressions that were obviously out of tune with the environment attracted Chen Lun's attention. 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 lunatics! Kill them!"

A soldier saw the player coming and shouted in horror.

Whoosh whoosh...!

Soldiers defending the town, draw bows and arrows, and shoot arrows at the players who are running.

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

"..."

Chen Lun showed a speechless expression.

Why are the players in this class 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 someone who was sick, they should know that the smiling face could easily be misunderstood as a disease.

Chen Lun flew over the heads of the guards on the wall, crossed the wall of the 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 "refugees" with weapons were gathering, as if they were about to do something big.

Someone shouted:

"If you want to form a team to kill monsters, pull me in!"
