Just half a day.
Almost all the players in Yanbang knew one thing.
That is the new "Kangkai Council" of the Orthodox Church, which will comprehensively clean up the red disaster areas in Yanbang and Baoshibang. The power from the official level is about to take action!
The circus boss they knew, Mr. Jack, would lead the team as the governor. He also issued a special call for the "undead strangers", that is, the player group, and anyone who met the most basic requirements could be selected.
This "most basic requirement" is not difficult.
All it takes is a one-minute field test.
After successfully passing the test, some players wrote up their experiences and posted them on the game forum. The general idea was that as long as the level was above level 15, there would be basically no problem.
This requirement is indeed not high. At this stage, the player levels are basically around level 17 or 18. If you can't even pass the test, it would be really disappointing and you might as well just stop playing.
This is also because Chen Lun knows the players' background very well and set a threshold to filter out some slackers to prevent them from getting in the way.
As the news of the call for "A-level large-scale missions" spread widely, the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce branches across Yanbang were overcrowded, and many "hungry" players eagerly participated.
Most of them were experiencing a task of this level for the first time and were extremely enthusiastic.
Most importantly, this mission is closely connected to the main storyline and seems to be able to greatly promote the progress... Any player with a little ambition would not want to miss it!
Two days later.
Yanbang Bronze City Peacock City.
The security training ground in the backyard of the local Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce branch.
At this moment, there were already hundreds of players gathered here, eagerly watching the battle on the field. Many more players came one after another, squeezed into the crowd to join in the fun, and asked questions.
Three men in black with the prefixes "Behind-the-scenes staff of the circus/Direct cadres of the Governor of the Kangkai Parliament" are fighting with a dozen players each.
Between the muffled sounds of puffing.
The three of them had calm expressions and relaxed postures.
The simplest punch or kick can easily knock down any player, or even seriously injure them.
winter!
The man named "Golov" took a step back, then lowered his head and bent over, dodging the sword attacks of several players in succession. Then he swept his leg and kicked forward, kicking four players away.
The rest of the players continued to rush forward, but it was difficult for them to hit him even once.
Although the opponent's punches and kicks seem slow, they are actually terrifyingly fast. If you are not careful, you will be hit and fly backwards, and your health will drop significantly!
The players who were being tested in the field surrounded the three NPCs under Jack, but were suppressed from beginning to end. The players did not seek to defeat the terrible cadres, but only thought about how to survive this "long" minute and complete the actual combat test.
Finally, time is up.
Of the thirty-six players who participated in the test, only eight were eliminated due to lack of strength, and the remaining twenty-eight players were successfully selected. They happily bowed to the "testers" Golov, Barton, and Morey to thank them, and then went to the registration office on the side, where three staff members hired by the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce were recording the results of those who passed.
Immediately afterwards, the next batch of players continued to enter.
The players watching were having a heated discussion.
"When can we achieve this kind of strength?"
"Don't even think about it at this stage... We have to wait until the next version at least. Besides, they are all extraordinary people. If we can't get extraordinary knowledge, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get to the next version!"
"They are all Jack's subordinates, so how strong is Jack now... I remember the last time I watched a video about him was a long time ago."
"Who knows... But now that he's a high-ranking official in the True God Church, he must be even stronger. To be honest, it's really outrageous. I feel like he's the chosen one. His strength and status are improving rapidly. The players who followed him are now dominating the leaderboard!"
While the players were communicating, they turned their attention to the tree in the distance.
There were a few men standing there, looking at this side quietly.
One of them was wearing a black hat and clothes, holding a silver cane in his hand, and on his head was the words "Circus Director/Consul of the Kangkai Parliament Jack".
The three men beside him are the "Golden Cup Members of the Kangkai Parliament".
"Frey, you guys continue to watch here, I'm leaving for a while."
Chen Lun smiled slightly.
"Yes, Master Jack."
The brown-haired middle-aged man in the lead bowed his head, and the other two also touched their chests and saluted.
After Chen Lun left, the three of them looked at each other.
"It's been two days, and Master Jack is still here recruiting those undead strangers. Is everything alright? The other nine Archons have already set out and started the suppression operation."
A slightly younger Jinbei councillor frowned.
"It is said that there are many dissonant and questioning voices in the Kangkai Parliament... Even the Golden Cup Councillor under Governor Houston mocked that Master Jack was afraid and was reluctant to take action, and was deliberately stalling for time."
Another councillor shook his head.
"I don't know what Lord Jack is thinking. These undead strangers have no organization or discipline and are extremely uncontrollable. Although they are not afraid of death, their strength is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people... It is impossible to rely on them to conquer the war zone. In the end, we still have to rely on the members of parliament."
The middle-aged man named Frey listened to the discussion between the two and remained silent for a while.
He turned his gaze towards the battle on the field and spoke slowly:
"Others can question Master Jack, but we can't... Master Jack joining the Senate as a mid-sequence is unprecedented, and I don't know how many eyes are watching. This action is of great importance, and he is the only one who has not taken any action yet, so he will naturally be criticized."
Frey laughed.
"But no matter what Master Jack does, we just have to trust him!"
The other two sighed and nodded.
"You are right, Frey. Since we have become Master Jack's subordinates, we have no choice but to trust him."

Chen Lun is very satisfied with the current recruitment progress.
Judging from the situation in Peacock City, we can get a glimpse of the overall situation.
He estimated that according to the current speed and efficiency, tens of thousands of players would be gathered by the day after tomorrow. During this period, he also commissioned the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce to transport these players. It might take several days to gather the players to the front line...
"During this time, let Connie work overtime to prepare more weapons, ammunition and bombs."
Chen Lun thought.
His incarnation leaped directly across the clouds, returned to the winery, and headed straight for the warehouse area.
Chen Lun's stamina now reaches 3,000 points, and the upper limit of the Black Crystal Dolls has also reached 30. If he works at full capacity, the efficiency will be terrifyingly high... Combined with the previous inventory reserves, it should be able to meet the needs of the players.
This is also one of Chen Lun’s goals.
The reason why he still recruited players slowly despite the criticism from the Kangkai Council was that he understood the value of players better than other NPCs and that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Even if he sold goods to players at the cheapest price, he could still make a lot of money.
This is also a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.
After all, players lack development time and urgently need equipment to make up for it.
Not only is Lord Jack willing to play with them, he is also generous enough to sell them cheap and useful equipment and props. The players are so grateful that they can’t express it clearly!
Chen Lun's real body was now lying on the sofa in the study, entering the lakeside cottage in the fairyland.
All the circus players gathered here.
Except for a few who didn't come due to various reasons, there were already more than 200 people here. The top players such as Dongyang Chenxi and Polaris were also among them.
When everyone saw Mr. Jack wearing retro knight armor and a gray robe, they all became excited.
"Mr. Jack!"
"Jack! My Jack!"
The tail began to scream.
And Polaris called him teacher as usual.
Chen Lun smiled in response and slowly raised his hand to indicate silence.
"I told you a long time ago... The Red Apple Church is the source of the disaster. The current situation is just as fate has led us. They are becoming more rampant. Now is the most critical moment for the empire."
His face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
"I, Jackspeight, have been fighting to suppress the Red Scourge... Now that I have the honor of becoming the Archon of the Kangkai Council, I should work even harder for this. Other Orthodox Churches, and even other Archons within the Council, don't trust you foreigners, but I'm different!"
There was a faint smile on Chen Lun's face.
"From the beginning, I knew that although you were still weak, you had unlimited potential... So I ignored the opposition within the Kangkai Council and insisted on recruiting you, because you are the heroes who can save the world!"
He observed the players' expressions calmly and found some smiles and relief on their faces. Chen Lun seemed to see a series of "Player Favorability +1" prompts.
After a secret laugh.
Chen Lun then raised his hand and slowly clenched his fist.
"This battle is unprecedented! The official shelters, the Sun Church, and the Moon Church have already launched a full-scale war against the Red Apple Church in other city districts... And we are about to participate in such a historic event! You will all leave an important mark in future history!"
"oh!
”
The top players raised their fists and cheered excitedly.
Such a realistic scene made their blood boil, and for a moment they forgot that this was a game.
They have already entered into the role, as if they saw themselves following Archon Jack, fighting against the evil red priests on that magnificent battlefield.
A torrent of the times is about to sweep across the entire empire and turn into an epic to be sung by future generations!
And they are all part of this torrent!
