"Did you come here just to see me?"
Lucy blushed, looked up at the black-hatted gentleman in front of her, and spoke softly.
Chen Lun smiled.
"Of course, Lucy... It seems that you did not disappoint me and successfully entered Omto Academy and became a student here."
He wouldn't say that he had only come to observe Francis.
Lucy seemed very happy after being praised. She played with the ends of her dark green hair with her fingers and giggled twice.
"Actually, I'm just lucky..."
She immediately remembered something and quickly handed the old book in her hand to Chen Lun.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Jack... I have done the task you gave me!"
Chen Lun took the old book.
Looking at the words "Carmen's Notes" written on the cover of the book, he felt a little complicated at the moment.
"Is this Lucy's great luck... She really got it so easily."
Chen Lun thought.
He didn't rush to open the book in his hand, but glanced at Lucy.
Using the Life-Watching Technique secretly, he saw the other party's current panel. The luck value of 32 points was extremely conspicuous and astonishing. This special attribute was four times that of his!
In other words, she can be called a lucky person, or a chosen one.
"If Lucy were put into a story, she would be the protagonist... Since her fate of death was changed, she turned a disaster into a blessing, and her luck value skyrocketed to such an extent, which is really surprising."
The smile on Chen Lun's face grew even wider.
He found the girl in front of him more pleasing to the eye.
'Well, it's worth cultivating.'
In fact, when he was observing secretly just now, he found that the luck value of the male student Francis was also not low, at 24 points. Perhaps this is also the reason why he got "Carmen's Notes" according to the original world line.
It's just that he met Lucy, a girl who was luckier than him.
So this opportunity was destined to be out of his reach.
"Well done, Lucy, you've been a great help."
Chen Lun put the old book into the Blood Poetry Ring and praised it again.
"Hehe... Um, Mr. Jack, is there any reward?"
Lucy plucked up her courage, looked directly into Chen Lun's eyes and asked in a low voice.
"You live in the school dormitory now?"
Chen Lun did not answer her, but looked around. At this time, many students had come to the football field and focused their attention on the two of them.
Handsome men and beautiful women always attract other people's attention.
"No, I'm not used to living with those classmates, so I rented a single apartment in the college area."
Lucy answered obediently.
Chen Lun nodded and said slowly:
"Take me there."
"ah?"
Lucy was a little surprised.
But soon, her face turned red again, and she laughed:
"Is this Mr. Jack's reward... That's great."
Chen Lun opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He glanced at Lucy who was already lost in some kind of fantasy, and sighed inwardly, realizing that he just didn't want to stay any longer and be watched by others, so he just wanted to find a quiet place to read the old book.
But he was too lazy to explain, he just shook his head and said:
"Let's go."
"Um!"
Lucy came to her senses and eagerly led the way.

After a moment.
Chen Lun followed Lucy to her residence, a relatively small single apartment.
The location is just on the roadside two blocks away from Omto College.
The interior decoration is extremely simple and the environment is clean. It has a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, balcony and living room with all the furniture, but it is a little cramped.
"Mr. Jack, I'm sorry, I didn't buy any tea leaves... only water."
Lucy poured him a glass of water and said awkwardly.
Chen Lun shook his head, picked up the water glass and took a sip.
"It doesn't matter."
Lucy breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Mr. Jack didn't mind, and then happily sat next to him.
"Mr. Jack, the rent for housing in the college area is very high, so I only rented a house like this. Although it is small, it is completely enough for me to live in..."
Lucy explained.
Chen Lun nodded.
"Have you used up the money I gave you before?"
"No, there are still a lot left."
Lucy shook her head quickly, as if she didn't want Mr. Jack to think that she was a spendthrift girl.
"Well, you can come to me if you run out of it."
Chen Lun said casually.
But Lucy waved her hand and said she would go out to work.
"I don't want to be a burden to you, Mr. Jack."
Chen Lun felt somewhat relieved. After putting down the water cup, he leaned gently on the cheap sofa.
"Lucy, working and studying is a good habit, but it is not necessary for you. It will only waste your time and energy... I hope you study hard at Omto College and don't worry about money."
Lucy immediately showed a look of gratitude.
"Thank you, Mr. Jack... You are the only one who has been so kind to me since I was a child. Not only did you save me, but you were also willing to help me."
Her face flushed with shame, and suddenly she burst out laughing.
"The 'Francis' you asked me to pay attention to is a student who entered school with me. He seems to like me a little..."
Lucy raised her beautiful eyes and kept an eye on Mr. Jack's expression, worried that he might be unhappy about this.
"But don't worry, I have no interest in him at all. I am just using him... Francis is like an idiot. I just said a few words and made him give me the book obediently."
Chen Lun found it funny when he saw Lucy trying to win favor.
I also silently mourned for Francis in my heart.
'The dog licked until the end, and he ended up with nothing.'
Lucy leaned on Chen Lun, blushing and whispering:
"Mr. Jack, then... I'm going to take a shower first."
After she finished speaking, she prepared to get up.
Chen Lun grabbed her wrist and said with a headache:
"Sit still and be nice."
He pointed to the sofa.
Lucy was a little confused.
"Mr. Jack, just... right here? If you don't mind, I don't mind."
She bit her lip and began to unbutton her chest with shyness and anticipation.
Chen Lun gave her a slap on the head.
"ah!"
Lucy exclaimed, covered her forehead, and looked at Mr. Jack aggrievedly.
"Don't think about that stuff all the time."
Chen Lun sighed softly.
He secretly guessed that Lucy was most likely influenced by her own bloodline, so she was somewhat obsessed with love between men and women.
He immediately took out a silver snake ring and inlaid it with the "Seed of Wonderland" on the spot, giving it the ability to enter the lakeside cabin.
"This is a reward for you."
Lucy took the silver snake ring, placed it in her palm, and looked at it curiously.
"it's beautiful."
She exclaimed in admiration.
The loss I felt after being rejected also dissipated a lot.
Lucy put the silver snake ring on the ring finger of her right hand, admiring it repeatedly, with a happy smile on her face.
Chen Lun ignored her and continued to take out paper, pen, and a silver-white glass bead, which was a low-sequence mysterious substance from the Star Faction.
He began to transcribe the extraordinary knowledge on the spot. As the words were written on the paper, the surface of the mysterious substance continued to emit a hazy mist, which penetrated into each word. As the writing continued, the size of the silver-white glass ball gradually shrank and finally disappeared.
A piece of extraordinary knowledge of Star Faction Sequence 9-Hunter was born from Chen Lun's pen.
Lucy observed the whole process from the side, with a look of extreme curiosity on her face.
"Mr. Jack, what is this?"
She asked.
“It is a stepping stone that can truly allow you to step into the mysterious realm. It is a valuable knowledge that can make you an extraordinary person…”
Chen Lun handed over the paper and explained.
By the way, he also told Lucy the real purpose of the Silver Snake Ring. In addition to being a token of the circus, it is also the key to the "lake house" where the team gathers.
The reason why this ring was given to Lucy was because Chen Lun did not intend to bring her back to the team, but in case he could not contact her in the future, he left this token.
"Wow... a true extraordinary person. Can I be one too?"
Lucy was surprised to receive the extraordinary knowledge.
Although she possessed mythical blood and was half a supernatural creature, she knew very little about the mysterious realm, so Chen Lun had to give her a brief explanation.
Fortunately, Lucy was very smart. After just one explanation, she had a basic understanding of the concept.
"Lucy, you have excellent talents, and because of your bloodline, you are very suitable to walk the path of the stars... So don't waste your talents."
Chen Lun said.
Lucy gave him a cautious look, then nodded obediently.
"Well, I won't let you down, Mr. Jack."
Then.
Under Chen Lun's arrangement, Lucy began to read extraordinary knowledge, and Chen Lun himself finally had time to take out "Carmen's Notes" to check.
After reading it, Chen Lun discovered that this mysterious book did not contain any extraordinary knowledge, but was merely the insights and experiences of an extraordinary person from a magic faction.
In this notebook, the author Carmen recorded in detail some of her insights on magic, as well as her contempt for the "School of Madmen" and the "School of Everything".
According to Carmen, the extraordinary people who delve into the path of magic are systematically divided into three schools: the School of Madmen, the School of Everything, and the School of Idols. Carmen himself belongs to the School of Idols, and believes that the other two factions are heresy.
He had said more than once in his diary that the person he admired most was his teacher, Frederic, and he used all the beautiful words to praise his teacher.
In addition to her teachers, the two people Carmen respects the most are Mr. Jingyao, the god of magic, and her servant god, Clarenso, the god of murals.
"The Witch Queen has been keeping an eye on Clarenso. It turns out that he is a magic angel... and a servant of Mr. Jingyao?"
Chen Lun was a little surprised.
After reading the notebook in its entirety, he put aside the meaningless emotional outbursts and was able to basically deduce three things.
First, the author, Carmen, is probably a high-ranking person in the magic path, otherwise many of her words would seem too arrogant. Moreover, many of the interpretations of magic and mystery in the book are difficult for Chen Lun to understand even with his current level of mysticism.
2. There is a skill hidden in the notebook.
3. "Carmen's Notes" has a total of three volumes, and this is just the first volume.
