Chapter 403 Jack's Growth History

【Completed the B-level mission: Misty Sea Specialties! 】

【You help Captain Hayden’s side repel the enemy, and get mission rewards: 70,000 experience points, 500 gold pounds, and Captain Hayden’s favorability. 】

【Captain Hayden's favorability towards you has increased! Currently being friendly! 】

‘The mission is settled...Well, it only asks to repel the enemy, but does not say to keep the goods, so I took their mist pearls, and it will not be affected. '

Chen Lun smiled slightly.

In his opinion, the rewards for this mission are not generous, and 70,000 experience points are not enough for the current situation. Mistake, after all, compared to the hundreds of "fog pearls", experience is not worth mentioning.

The weather today is good, and the temperature has picked up slightly.

The entire sea area is colored up and down, and the blue horizon is refreshing.

Pearl Bamogo is sailing slowly on the sea, with the comfortable sea breeze blowing towards you.

Chen Lun and the circus troupe were strolling on the deck, and saw that many gentlemen and ladies had recovered from the panic last night, enjoying the bright sunshine while talking and laughing.

The deck has been cleaned by the sailors, and the monster's stumps and bloodstains have disappeared. If there were not some damaged large holes and bent and deformed metal guardrails, then what happened last night was like a collective hallucination.

Seeing Chen Lun, many gentlemen and ladies saluted him.

"Good day, Father Jack."

These upper-class people are well aware of how noble Chen Lun's status is, not to mention that he saved everyone's lives last night. This respectful attitude comes from the heart.

"Good day."

Chen Lun pulled the brim of his hat and nodded slightly in response.

Not long after, Captain Hayden brought the first mate to the deck, summoned all the gentlemen and ladies, and expressed apology for what happened last night with a sad expression.

"This storm and attack accidentally led to the death of four gentlemen and one lady. Although it was not my wish, it is also our responsibility on the Pearl Bamogo... So after docking, I will contact Moses as soon as possible Yuanhang Headquarters will make corresponding compensation to the family members of the deceased.”

Captain Hayden said so.

He also talked about the general damage to the hull, saying that it can barely sail after emergency repairs, but it needs to be repaired for a week at the next port. If there are passengers who are unwilling to wait, they can disembark at that time and transfer to other ships.

Finally, he also emphatically thanked Chen Lun.

"This accident, thanks to the help of Mr. Jack, the consul of the generous parliament, helped us repel the evil and rampant extraordinary bandits...Here, on behalf of all the crew members of the Pearl Bamogo, I, Hayden, express my sincere condolences to Mr. Jack. Thanks and respect."

Hayden took off his beret, and led the crew to bow to Chen Lun.

The Moses expedition guards hidden in the crowd also lowered their heads while touching their chests. They are half grateful, half expressing awe to the strong.

Chen Lun didn't like this formalism, but nodded indifferently.

Captain Hayden didn't mention the casualties in the lower warehouse area at all. In fact, the casualties of the ordinary boat passengers were extremely heavy. More than fifty people died in the attack last night. But the Pearl Bamogo obviously didn't pay attention to those low-level civilians, and even threw their bodies into the sea without collecting them.

These gentlemen and ladies living in the upper class will not care about those people, let alone ask them actively, even if Captain Hayden tells them the real situation, they will probably only use it as a chat after dinner.

The two parties are not from the same world at all, and the attitude of indifference is certain.

Due to the damage to the hull, the sailing speed has dropped, and the next port, which could have been reached in half a day, finally arrived at the evening of the next day.

The port here belongs to Hua Bang Rong Ju City, named Anastasia Port.

Pearl Bamogo sailed directly into the ship repair yard of the port dock, where a few gentlemen and ladies disembarked and planned to transfer to other passenger ships to continue their departure.

Chen Lun thought it was troublesome, so he planned to wait with his team for a few days.

While the ship was in the factory for maintenance, some guests disembarked and went to Rongju City for sightseeing and shopping. Chen Lun also does not want to restrict the freedom of team members too much, telling them that they can move freely.

But the three ladies, Floyd, Maggie, and Connie, have no interest. One likes quiet and nights, and the other two are study and research freaks. On the men's side, Noah and Alex wanted to go out for a walk, so Chen Lun let them go together.

Antonio didn't like the environment of the city, it said it would stay in the cabin and sleep, and the three of Golov also stayed on the ship. They have recently become obsessed with a kind of card game popular in the upper class, and would rather play cards than go out to mess visit.

According to Golov's words, they can also respond to Chen Lun's orders in a timely manner, and they can execute immediately if there is any need. Chen Lun was very pleased with this, and gave everyone a hundred gold pounds as "gambling money" so that they could have a good time on the boat.

Afterwards, he got off the boat alone and wandered from the port to the bustling area of ​​Rongju city center, just like traveling alone in his previous life, exploring strange but interesting unknowns.

Rongju City is very similar to Kongque City. Because it is a port city, seafood is more popular. Even in the major restaurants in the downtown area, the signature dishes are almost some kind of fish, shrimp and shellfish.

Most of the cities in Huabang have their iconic flowers. As the name suggests, the chrysanthemum is very popular... Even though it is still cold in early February, the chrysanthemum is open all year round, and many stores have it on display There are pots of fluffy chrysanthemums of various colors.

After shopping for more than two hours, Chen Lun bought some local specialties, then returned to the Pearl Bamogo, knocked on the door of Floy's cabin, and gave them some baked snacks that he bought along the way. ladies.

"Thank you, Mr. Jack!"

Connie said happily.

Maggie had already grabbed a piece of cupcake with her bare hands, swallowed it in one gulp, smashed her mouth, and was still shaking the reagent bottle in her hand.

Chen Lun shook his head with a smile.

"You're welcome, you guys have a good rest."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and returned to his cabin, lay on the bed and opened the game forum boredly.

Because the game stopped being updated, so many players can only chat on the forum water post for comfort.

Compared with the past, the forum at this moment is extremely lively.

Chen Lun saw a lot of posts discussing the main plot of the next version, among which the most active one was "Ordinary Operator"... This guy is keen on analyzing various things, and of course he is indispensable in this matter.

But there is one thing to say, his analysis is indeed well-founded and very convincing.

Chen Lun clicked on a post that was just posted less than an hour ago but received more than 100,000 likes. The top answer was from an "ordinary operator":

"—According to the official announcement three hours ago, the level limit of the next version will be raised to level 80. According to the main occupation level of the 1.0 version Sequence Nine Transcendence, most players of the 2.0 version will be able to advance to the mid-sequence..."

"—But the number of extraordinary players only accounts for less than one percent of all players. Even after the version is updated, those who can get together the extraordinary knowledge of Sequence Eight and advance in a short period of time are definitely a minority among the few... this This situation will become more and more serious in the future, and the player pyramid will only become more obvious and stronger in the end."

"—And in order to allow players to adapt to such a long growth period, the next version will definitely arrange corresponding plots and mainline events... According to my analysis, version 1.0 is too short, and it feels a bit hasty, and the game official obviously has no explanation, but I'm sure they'll make it up in the next version."

"—So the main plot of the 2.0 version will only be more grand than the 'Scarlet Ceremony' turmoil caused by the Red Apple Church... Now the clues and information at hand indicate that either it involves the war between the Empire and the United Kingdom of Anlong in the west, or Colonial wars across the Misty Sea to the east."

Chen Lun looked at the post and nodded secretly.

The analysis of ordinary operators, except that the main plot of the 2.0 version is wrong, the rest is roughly the same as the trend.

The level limit of version 2.0 is 80, which is actually the level limit of Sequence Seven Transcendents.

Even in the middle of the version, there will be a non-stop version 2.1 update. At that time, the level cap will be raised again, directly reaching level 120 Sequence Six... That is also the version that Chen Lun was in in his previous life.

‘Version 2.0’s turmoil in the spiritual world is about the pollution sources in the spiritual world affecting the present world, so the empire summoned extraordinary people from the field to suppress it... The war in the United Kingdom of Anlong is only a branch line. '

Chen Lun thought to himself.

‘But this is not to blame for the ordinary operator, after all, his current level is too low, it is normal not to know this information. '

Immediately afterwards, he read several popular posts, and learned that the mental state of the players is very impatient, very impatient... The update time of three days is too long for these players.

They are extremely eager to play online, but they feel that their days are like years.

'what? The number one video on the hot list has changed... Both the producer and the uploader are Su Keying? '

Chen Lun returned to the home page and noticed the leaderboard.

He looked at the cover of the top video with great interest, it was himself.

To be precise, it should be two of themselves.

On the left is him in the image of a gentleman with a black hat, and on the right is him in a gray robe wearing consul armor.

There is also a string of title text across the two images in the middle—

"Jack's growth history: 4419 to 4420 in the solar calendar!"

Chen Lun saw that this video was uploaded for more than six hours, and the number of views directly exceeded 100 million, making it to the top of the list. He clicked on the video curiously, wanting to see how Su Keying boasted about herself.

Once the video is turned on, it will be a black screen.

Su Keying’s narration lines came from the voiceover:

"For viewers who click on this video, let me tell you that this is a popular science video about people... Actually, I hesitated a few times before starting to make it, because generally no one would like to watch this kind of video. It was thankless...but in the end it was the persuasion of my friends and companions that made me make up my mind to do it."

The black screen gradually emerged several rows of red eye-catching text.

"First of all, here is a statement that all the materials and information in the video are collected and confirmed by me and my team, and are not fictional... In addition, put an end to all steel reinforcements. If you have any objections, you are the main one."

After the text disappeared, a dark-haired young man in a white shirt appeared on the screen, sitting in front of the coffee table and meditating.

Su Keying continued:

"NPC Jack Speight, has been running through the plot from the closed beta to the end of the public beta version 1.0...Maybe few people knew about him in the early days, but with the end of the **** battle, almost all the players in Bangcheng District know about this new character. The upper echelons of the Orthodox Church... Now let me tell you the story of Jack Speight, the head of the circus and the consul of the Senate of the Generous Parliament..."

The screen returns to the closed beta.

Jewel State Emerald Town.

Su Keying and Polaris came to a wall and looked at the wanted notice on it. It was Chen Lun with curly black hair. At that time, the wanted amount was only one hundred gold pounds, which was issued by the Red Apple Church.

"The enmity between Jack and the Red Apple Church came from a long time ago, when he was an ordinary person, he was arrested by the Red Apple Church as a sacrifice..."

The video explains Chen Lun’s background and growth in great detail, from being a prisoner to being the leader of an extraordinary organization, then joining the Murder Club, until pushing the club to sit on the Orthodox Church, and his own status has risen as the tide rises...

The barrage keeps going, following Jack's growth and Su Keying's calm tone, I feel the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of the protagonist of the story. What happened to Jack seemed to empathize with many players, and they also became interested in this NPC.

"It turns out that Jack's past is like this, **** it, Red Apple Church!" "No wonder he hates the Red Calamity so much, he's either hunting the Red Apple Church, or he's on his way." After the version update is over, I want to join him!" "How can it be so simple! You can join the circus whenever you want?"

The barrage passed by, but Su Keying's voice continued:

"Polaris, Dongyang, Chenxi, Goutoujin and many other players and I were among the first players to join Jack's command... We can tell you very bluntly that he is different from other NPCs because he has a unique charm, It’s hard not to like it.”

The image of Noah holding a painting bag appeared on the screen, introducing himself shyly.

"Not only is the force he leads has many benefits, but also because he really takes care of our so-called 'undead strangers' as companions... For example, when we encounter difficulties, Jack will even send cadres to support us , This is something that no other power can do!"

Su Keying said so.

The video screen changed, and we came to the cottage by the lake in Wonderland.

The sky is blue with white clouds floating.

By the clear lake, there is a vine and a statue of Jack at the door of a simple wooden house, and many players sit and chat on the lawn.

"This is the secret place of the circus. No matter where we are, we can transfer our minds to this area for timely interaction. We can also receive tasks and exchange items here... Of course, this is also a copy exclusive to Jack. The location - Wonderland!"

The screen was full of bullets in a surprised tone. Obviously, this video of Su Keying surprised many people. However, the video ended here, and a line of large characters appeared at the end of the screen——

"The next preview, the circus exclusive dungeon Wonderland reveals the secret!"

Chen Lun noticed that the bullet screen was full of "Zhuo", he smiled and praised secretly, and immediately turned off the video. This popular science video allows players to have a deeper understanding of themselves and the circus, and it will also help the next version to encourage more players to join their ranks.

‘But having said that, looking at the journey I have come all the way, I am somewhat emotional...’

Chen Lun rubbed his chin and shook his head.
