"This mission... As expected!"
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows and chose to accept it.
The mission "A Plague Tale" is very much like a transitional plot for the novice period, but the truth hidden behind it is probably not that simple.
After all, the scope involved is too wide and the impact caused is huge.
"It seems that there is someone more suitable for this task than doing it myself..."
Chen Lun thought to himself.
A carefree figure flashed through my mind—
With messy hair, he held two pieces of raw beef in his hands and chattered with them.
"If people can give full play to their talents, everything will be successful. I should let Maggie take my place... give full play to her subjective initiative and give her the opportunity to grow."
Chen Lun thought about it and was suddenly moved by himself.
Maggie met herself, just like a good horse met its master.
"Mr. Robert, Ms. Jones..."
Chen Lun turned his head and looked at them, smiling slightly.
The couple was a little nervous. They could tell that the identity of the black-haired young man in front of them should not be simple, but they didn't know what he wanted to do.
"I respect both of you for your kindness and fearlessness."
Chen Lun gently took off his black hat, stroked his chest and bowed.
"Oh, that's nothing..."
Mr. and Mrs. Robert bowed quickly to return the greeting.
Chen Lun smiled and continued:
"If you plan to save money to go outside the city to provide relief, I think I can help you financially..."
When Mr. and Mrs. Robert heard his words, they were immediately surprised.
Soon it turned into joy.
"Are you telling the truth?!"
"Of course, this way you won't have to use the name of 'Black Messenger' to sell anti-epidemic drugs in the inner city... To be honest, there are certain risks if you continue like this."
As Chen Lun spoke, he raised his hand and waved it, indicating the paper bag in his hand.
"The 'anti-epidemic candy' you developed is pretty good, and the cost should be relatively low. We can cooperate in manufacturing...
In addition, I can recommend a doctor to you who is also very knowledgeable about these things and may be able to help you fight the epidemic together.”
There are two reasons why Chen Lun did this.
First, he didn't want these two people to do things under his name, so as to avoid trouble. Although he didn't admit it, he didn't know if this identity would be useful in the future, and he couldn't let the reputation of the "Black Messenger" be ruined.
Secondly, the couple had not done anything against the law, so there was no need to punish them. Instead, they could let Maggie join them and go out to investigate the plague together.
This will not only increase Maggie's mysterious accumulation, but also allow her to get the formula of this "epidemic prevention candy block". After some improvement, it can be sold to players as a regular medicine after the public beta.
After all, this plague doesn't seem to disappear in a short time.
"Oh sir, you are so generous... I don't even know your name."
Robert said respectfully.
"Jack Speight."
"Mr. Jack, it is indeed as you guessed. The cost of this kind of 'epidemic prevention candy' is not high, because we need to take care of those poor families outside the city... My wife and I are even prepared not to charge any money."
Robert and his wife Jones looked at each other and smiled.
"Also, if you want to recommend a doctor, that's fine, but this is a very dangerous thing to do, so please be sure to pass on this information...
You don’t have to give a lot of money for the grant, we only need 50 gold pounds.”
He said, his tone a little apprehensive.
Although he said that he didn't need much, 50 gold pounds was not a small amount.
'Most of the money the team earned from working these days has been put back into operations... Fortunately, there are still about a hundred gold pounds left, otherwise it would be embarrassing.'
Chen Lun nodded.
"no problem."
He pretended to take money out of his pocket, but in fact he took out a small pocket from the Blood Poetry Ring and poured the currency on the panel into the pocket.
He then reached out and handed a bag containing fifty gold coins to Robert.
“Thank you… Thank you!”
Robert and his wife Jones' faces were filled with smiles.
Robert's favorability towards you has increased! Currently close!
Jones's favorability towards you has increased! Currently close!
"Well... I wish you all the best."
Chen Lun smiled slightly.
At this moment, he suddenly smelled a burnt smell.
Ms. Jones uttered a cry, then hurried back to the large clay jar and began stirring the syrup inside again.
"Goodbye, Mr. Robert."
Chen Lun chuckled and lowered the brim of his hat.
Then, under Robert's respectful eyes, he turned and left.

Chen Lun came to the Foil Fighting Club again.
After entering the lobby on the first floor, the waitress walked straight towards me.
When she saw that it was this familiar handsome guy, the smile on her face became even brighter.
Thinking about what his boss Charles had told him, he felt that Mr. Jack had a high status and position, and he regretted not leaving him his contact information last time.
Can't miss it this time.
"Good day, Mr. Jack."
The waitress leaned forward slightly, holding a clipboard.
The darkness of the valley became brighter, and the scenery became more beautiful.
She pulled out a gold-stamped card from the notepad as if nothing had happened.
"This is the limited edition VIP card of the Foil Fighting Club. Mr. Charles specifically told me to give it to you when you come..."
The waitress handed the VIP card to Chen Lun.
By the way, her fingers gently hooked the man's palm.
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows.
He felt a note underneath the gold-stamped card.
Looking up, the waitress opened her red lips slightly and spoke softly:
"Mr. Jack, you can call me Candice... Mr. Charles is out for a while, but he will be back soon. You can go in and take a look around."
"Ms. Candice, thank you very much."
Chen Lun smiled slightly and raised the gold-stamped VIP card in his hand.
When the young waitress named Candice saw his smile, she was dazed for a moment and couldn't help biting her lip.
"This is the club's limited edition VIP card. Well, with it, you can come to the club at any time and receive any service... and there are also various training courses here, which are also free to learn.
Of course, if you are tired, you can also dine, bathe, check in and rest in the club. ”
Speaking of "bathing" and "checking in", Candice secretly winked at him.
Chen Lun smiled gently.
"Okay, I understand... In that case, I'll go in and take a look. If Mr. Charles comes back, please let me know."
After that, he walked around Candice and went straight into the club.
Candice was left standing there in a daze.
"Is it possible that he can't see my obvious hints...? Why?!"
She frowned and looked at the tall figure slowly leaving with an unwilling look on her face.
"Is it because I'm not pretty enough, or my body isn't hot enough?! Or... is this guy a gay?! Damn it!"
Candice stamped her feet, clutched her clipboard, and walked away with her head down.
'You also left your address? Tsk tsk...'
Chen Lun walked slowly in the corridor, opened the note and glanced at it. He then crumpled the note into powder and threw it into the trash can.
He had no interest in this kind of one-night stand that was purely for the sake of excitement.
Bang! Bang!
"ha!"
Ping pong! Bang!
"Hey!"
Passing by two training rooms, Chen Lun could see through the glass windows several men doing boxing and weightlifting inside.
A strong muscular man, shirtless, punched the sandbag hard, causing sweat to splash and loud noises to be heard.
Chen Lun paused for a moment.
The muscular men in the training room noticed a tall gentleman in a tuxedo standing outside the window and couldn't help but smile at each other.
"I can beat this skinny little white face to the ground with just one punch."
One of them whispered, and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Ha ha… "
"They are probably guys who came to the club to have fun. It's a pity there are no official matches today, otherwise we could make some money from these guys."
"… "
Chen Lun gave a polite smile and turned to leave.
Although I couldn't hear the sound of their conversation, I could roughly judge what they were saying based on their mouth shapes thanks to my powerful dynamic vision.
He didn't care about the people laughing at him behind his back.
Of course, if the other party really wants to try to make me lose my teeth, maybe I can try to confuse them.
After walking away from these training rooms, Chen Lun discovered several other training rooms along the way, in which there were guests using various cold weapons.
There are various types of swords such as longswords, short swords, broadswords and two-handed swords, as well as long-handled weapons such as spears, lances, halberds and war hammers, and even unpopular weapons such as axes, flails and whips.
Various and varied.
Ping pong!
Chen Lun listened to the crisp sound of clashing against each other and looked over with interest.
He also found several promotional posters on the bulletin board in the corridor, which seemed to be various types of fighting exchange competitions.
These competitions offered prize money, which greatly aroused Chen Lun's interest.
But when he saw the amount of the prize, which was only a few or at most a dozen gold pounds, his interest quickly faded, like the enthusiasm after completing a sport.
"Hey! Mr. Jack!"
Suddenly, a voice was heard and Chen Lun stopped.
Looking back, I saw the well-dressed, somewhat ruffian-looking old noble man leaning against the wall and greeting me.
"What a coincidence, I met you again today... Would you like a drink?"
Sibert held a long sword in his left hand and a glass of red wine in his right hand, smiling with sweat all over his forehead.
"Mr. Siebert, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but it's not necessary."
Chen Lun walked over and politely declined.
"Oh, that's a pity. I bought this red wine at the auction of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce at a high price..."
Siebert came closer, looking mysterious.
"This red wine not only has a rich and mellow taste, but also has special effects!"
He winked and gave a look that all men understood.
Chen Lun's expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.
"The bottle of red wine that Siebert drank, could it be that I brewed it myself..."
Sibert drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, sighed, and casually placed the glass on the windowsill.
He held the hilt of the sword upside down and pointed towards the training room.
"Mr. Jack, why don't you come with me inside? This is the only open-air training room in the club. It's very big, and my swordsmanship teacher is also in there... How about letting me show you a few of my skills? I just learned a few moves!"
Sibert flicked the sword with his fingers, making a clanging sound.
Chen Lun was quite interested in this and wanted to see the so-called swordsmanship. His fighting skills had always been purely based on his instincts and he had not received any systematic training.
The animal trainer and fortune teller did not give him any relevant experience in this area.
"Yes, that's exactly what I meant, Mr. Siebert."
Chen Lun smiled.
