Jack Manor.
Room on the third floor of the villa.
After Chen Lun returned to the world from the fairyland, the first thing he did was to find a bunch of grapes, four candles, a piece of oak wood and the "panacea".
These are the ritual materials needed to pray to the Cat God as recorded in the "Cat God Cult Texts".
Among them, "Wanlingyao", according to the description in the "Cat God Cult Classics", is actually the apple oak. Chen Lun is not quite sure why it is named "Wanlingyao".
Apple mistletoe was relatively easy to find. He randomly searched for a few noble estates with apple trees in the inner city and soon obtained the mistletoe from the apple trees.
"Well, let's get started..."
He closed all the doors and windows and drew the curtains.
The whole room fell into darkness.
Chen Lun sat at the table by the window. He placed four candles at the four corners of the table and then lit them. The room was then filled with faint candlelight, and was full of a mysterious atmosphere.
Pick the washed grapes, take out nine of them, and place them in a copper basin prepared in advance according to the pattern of a "triangle fork".
Then he rolled the oak into sawdust and sprinkled it evenly in the basin. He also used the juice left by crushing the oak to draw the symbols of the prayer ceremony to the God of Cats, dripping it as he went along.
Finally, Chen Lun took out a gold pound.
He snapped his fingers on his right hand, which was holding the fireworks, and a cluster of flames appeared at his fingertips.
With a gentle flick of his hand, the flame leaped and landed on the golden pound.
Under the high temperature of the extraordinary flame, the gold pound quickly turned red, then dissolved and turned into golden water.
Chen Lun dropped a drop of golden water on each of the nine grapes, muttering:
"The King of the Natural Forest, the Protector of Kaz's, the Great Cat God...
The spirit under the sacred tree, the rhythm of nature, the guide of countless lives...
Your Majesty Majimirna, I pray to you, please give me a response..."
After a while.
A gust of wind blew in from the spirit world and blew out the four candles.
The birds are rising with green smoke.
The room was silent.
'No response...?'
Chen Lun frowned slightly, looking puzzled.
After waiting for a while again, still no changes occurred.
"Is there something wrong with the prayer ritual?"
He pondered and reviewed the prayer rituals recorded in the "Cat God Cult Texts" in his mind.
"No, the prayer ceremony was not wrong... Could it be that Her Majesty Maggie did not notice me for the time being? Or is there some other reason... ?"
Chen Lun let out a breath and cleared the things on the table.
Since the nature angel Maggie did not respond to him in the world, he could only put this matter aside for the time being.

A few more days passed.
Nine players, led by Dongyang, came to the villa again.
They finally raised enough money to exchange for extraordinary knowledge.
"Mr. Jack, I want to exchange three copies of the extraordinary knowledge of the Sun Faction. Here is a certificate of the Trisur Imperial Bank worth 3,750 gold pounds..."
Dongyang handed over a card made of special material.
The Trisur Empire Bank is spread all over the continent, and it is very convenient to deposit and withdraw money. For a large amount of gold pounds like this, if it is a single gold coin, it may require a large wooden box to store it, which is very troublesome to use.
Of course, this kind of bank certificate is equivalent to paper money in a sense and can be directly stored in the panel.
This also saved Chen Lun the trouble of making another trip to the bank.
Chen Lun took the card and nodded secretly.
'Another huge sum of money!'
The consortium was very powerful, and he silently gave them a thumbs up in his heart.
After receiving the money, Chen Lun took out three pieces of paper with the numbers of Sequence 9-Believers from his Blood Poetry Ring and placed them in front of Dongyang.
When the three players from the Pavilion of Heroes saw the extraordinary knowledge displayed on the coffee table, their breathing suddenly stopped.
"—Finally here! The knowledge to advance to a transcendent level!"
Horse man speaking in the chat room.
Dongyang took a deep breath. He spent 3,750 gold coins in one go. It felt good, but there was still a sense of emptiness.
But soon this feeling of emptiness was filled with the warmth of the sun.
He handed the two copies of extraordinary knowledge to Ma Ren and Kuang Ben Kuang respectively, and he also held one in his hand. The three of them sat on the sofa and read them.
Chen Xi, who was standing by, exchanged two pieces of extraordinary knowledge with Chen Lun, one for the magic faction and one for the star faction.
She herself chose the path of magic, while Honey Grapefruit chose the path of stars.
Girls don’t want any weird extraordinary sequences.
The total amount spent was 2,500 gold pounds, also with certificates from the Imperial Bank.
Chen Lun secretly smiled so hard that his face almost twisted.
Dog-Head Gold and Forgotten Wuji each exchanged for a piece of extraordinary knowledge of the Flesh and Blood faction and chose Sequence 9 - Butcher. It was obvious that they wanted to run forward for their lives without looking back on a road of no return.
They had accumulated some contribution points during the internal test, but were reluctant to spend them. The guild's money would be wasted if it wasn't spent, so Chen Lun earned another 2,500 gold pounds.
Finally, it was the turn of the twin-tailed loli Wei Yin, who bought herself a copy of the extraordinary knowledge of the Moon Path. But surprisingly, Su Keying chose Sequence 9-Thief of the Conspiracy Faction.
“—I don’t like fighting and killing, running fast is the best for me. (Cute expression)”
These are what Su Keying said in the chat room.
When everyone has extraordinary knowledge in their hands, they will sit on the sofa and read for promotion.
Chen Lun secretly counted his harvest.
'The total is 11,250 gold pounds. Adding the existing liquid funds, it is about 13,000 gold pounds...'
He was a little shocked.
"If I don't make money from the money that players have worked so hard to get from the consortium, am I still a human being?"
Chen Lun suddenly felt relieved in his heart. After so long of preparation, he finally reaped great rewards.
It’s like the satisfaction a farmer feels when he harvests the heavy rice in the field.
The days before were dry, dull and extremely unhappy.
Now I have finally made it.
'Besides, we need to give some money to the people in the circus. Even if they have no merit, they have worked hard. Even if they have not worked hard, they have been tired... In addition, we need to increase the investment in Jack's Workshop and Maggie. In addition, we also need to go to the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce to purchase a batch of extraordinary materials and mysterious books.'
He pondered.
'The extraordinary materials are divided into two parts. One part is used for brewing wine, and the other part is given to Flo Yin to practice and increase her mysterious accumulation... The good weird things are kept by myself, and the bad ones... well, the slightly worse ones are packaged to help the players.
Mysterious books are what I need most. Whether it is the knowledge in the mysterious field, or the experience points, skill points and attribute points, they are all helpful for improving my strength! '
After thinking for a while, he planned how to spend the money.
At this time, the players on the sofa completed their promotions one after another, and their aura was rising, which was very terrifying.
If outsiders saw that nine extraordinary people were born in the living room of Jack's villa just by drinking a sip of water, they would probably be shocked.
"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Jack."
Dongyang stood up and saluted with the centaur Kuang Ben.
The three of them had already been promoted to Sequence 9-Believers, and could not wait to add all their accumulated experience points, rising several levels in a row, and improving all their attributes.
The believer sequence can increase combat power by improving the faith attribute. And by frequently receiving sunlight, the general attributes can also be slowly increased.
It is the preferred choice for lazy people.
A cup of tea, two pots of wine, and a walk under the sun.
No exercise, no pain, no tears, and no need to lift a finger.
You can become stronger by basking in the sun. No matter it's from Krypton or paid with krypton gold, you have to praise it when you see it.
Chen Xi became a Sequence 9 Scholar and learned two skills on her own, which were the "Blinding Spell" and "Acid Spell" that Honey Juice Dumbbag had used in the live broadcast before. But she couldn't cast spells directly yet, and needed to use scrolls prepared in advance to fight.
Honey Pomelo, also from the Chuxi Guild, is a Sequence 9-Hunter. She has enhanced vision, agility and charm, and has mastered "prey tracking" and "archery". She will serve as the guild's ADC and main output in the future.
Dog-Headed Gold and Forgotten Wuji were waiting for Jack's hidden shop to refresh, preparing to stock up on a large number of "Beef Power Bottles". They firmly believed that with the physique of a Sequence 9-Butcher and the Hercules Potion, they would cause a bloody storm in the player circle.
In fact, these two people had already planned to set up a small organization called "Hercules" in the forum in the future, and then recruit a group of like-minded "Minotaur".
Weiyin was promoted to Sequence 9 - Medium, and planned to take some time to visit the cemetery in the inner city to absorb some spirits and enhance himself.
After Su Keying was promoted to Sequence 9 - Thief, she seemed very happy. In several fan groups she had established, she brazenly stated that there would be more "Jack Picture Sets" produced in the future.
Jack's female fans cheered in the group.
"Hurray! Sister Ke Ying, hurry up!"
"No, that's what you do when you become a Transcendent... Just don't get caught by Jack!"
"I love you, Sister Keying! I want to see Jack's nude photos tomorrow!"

After all the players in the circus were promoted to extraordinary people, Dongyang immediately contacted Polaris.
"—Brother Polaris, I have been promoted to a Transcendent. The battle remains the same. We will meet at the Black Messenger Square tomorrow morning!"
Not long after.
Polaris replied:
"-OK."
Dongyang couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he saw this extremely brief reply.
"—We at the Heroic Spirit Pavilion will build momentum in advance. You don't have to think too much about it, brother. It's just some gimmicks and stories made up by the members in the operation position... In addition, we will have a live broadcast at that time. The God's Love Guild and the First Dawn Guild will both participate. We will discuss how to fight later."
He thought about it and sent another short message:
"—Brother Polaris, tell me your account number. I'll transfer money to you when I go offline. 2 million credit points. What do you think..."
Another long while passed.
"-Can."
Dongyang looked at this word, was stunned for a few seconds, and finally took a deep breath.
"—Then it's settled. Also, I hope you can show mercy in tomorrow's battle. If possible, it would be best if you lose, and we will give you some face..."
Before Dongyang finished typing the text, Polaris sent him a string of account names.
“—B45045778XXX (account).”
