Yanbang Peacock City.
In a cafe in the bustling city center.
Dongyang, Chenxi, Beijixing and other top players were sitting in a corner by the window drinking.
After the Bloody Battle came to an end, they took the initiative to apply to follow Jack Circus here. One reason was that they wanted to be closer to the core team of their own forces, so that they could receive any tasks or news as soon as possible. The other reason was that Dongyang quietly said that the think tank of the Heroic Spirits Guild had analyzed that the Bloody Battle might not be so easy to end...
Jack will most likely make big moves next, so you can never go wrong if you follow him.
"Brother Beizi, you are famous again this time! In the video that ranks first on the forum's hot list, your personal famous scene ranks eighth! This is a unique honor... So many players across the empire have come to admire your heroic figure, wow!"
Meet the Dragon King, sipping a latte and smacking his lips while laughing.
Polaris drank the hot milk silently. He noticed that other expert players were looking at him with envy, so he shook his head.
"In the past two days, seven or eight guilds have approached me, and the highest one even offered me a membership contract worth 50 million... but I rejected them all."
He said with emotion.
"In the past, I would have joined without hesitation, but now I don't have that thought anymore... I'd rather be a freelance player."
"Indeed, I noticed very early on that you don't like being constrained..."
Dongyang nodded in approval and then smiled.
"And if you really want to join a guild, aren't there better options right before your eyes? Not to mention our Heroic Spirit Pavilion, there are also Chuxi and Shen'ai, which are all top guilds... A 50 million contract? Haha, our Heroic Spirit Pavilion can write a loose 500 million contract just for you! Others may not understand your value, but how can we not understand it?"
"Thank you Dongyang, but it's not necessary."
Polaris smiled and raised his glass to Dongyang.
Dongyang also picked up his coffee, clinked cups with him, and joked:
"Have you been influenced by Jack? Why do you like drinking milk too?"
"Yeah, Brother Beizi, I noticed that you always drank milk tea before..."
Tutu and Kuchananana looked confused.
Polaris was slightly startled, then shrugged.
"I don't know, maybe..."
His emotions were somewhat complicated.
Are you imitating your idol's behavior without realizing it
"I quite like drinking pure milk during this period. I suggest you drink more of it too."
Polaris took a gulp and exhaled white air.
The others started laughing.
"Speaking of which, the video that made the hot list this time was not made by Ke Ying. I am very surprised..."
Honey Grapefruit suddenly said.
Everyone looked at Su Keying standing aside and found that she looked a little depressed.
"In fact, I have been making a similar video, but halfway through, that guy published it before me. And I also found that the materials I collected before were a bit outdated, and the effect might not be as good as that guy's..."
Su Keying said with a pout.
Her good friend Wei Yin beside her chuckled.
"Keying, is there something wrong with your brain? How can Jack's material be outdated? Let me tell you, it will never be outdated!"
Su Keying was a little confused.
But the girl with twin ponytails stretched out her index finger.
"How about I give you an idea? Why don't you make a 'Jack's Growth History' and focus on his strength and appearance changes... This way, all the materials from the internal beta to the public beta 1.0 version can be used, and it can also be clearly distinguished from other videos."
"As expected of Jack's Brain... Brain Fan, this idea is absolutely amazing!"
Goutoujin was halfway through his words when he received a sharp glare from the man at the end of his voice, and he quickly changed his words.
“After this bloody battle, more players got to know Jack and became interested in him... Once this video is released, it will be like a special topic on Jack. I believe it will soon be on the hot list again!”
"Yeah, I think so too."
"Keying, you should start working on it right away. Weiyin's idea is really good!"
Others echoed, and even Dongyang nodded.
"The number of players in the circus is now close to one thousand, and they are all elites from major guilds... It can be seen that Jack has never lowered his standards for recruiting new members. As the most unique benefit of the circus, the exclusive dungeon 'Wonderland' can now support five hundred people at the same time, and there will be more in the future."
He looked at Su Keying.
“With more and more high-level players coming from the circus, we can no longer keep this secret to ourselves like we did during the internal and public beta stages… Since we can’t hide it, we might as well be more generous and let more people know about Jack. This way, we might even gain a good reputation… Anyway, we already have a leading advantage, so let’s just take care of the newcomers.”
Polaris nodded and looked at Su Keying.
“In the future, we can also try to make a series of videos to show the maps we explored in Wonderland and the monsters we encountered. This information is not valuable, but it can be used as dry goods to attract traffic... This is also our advantage, isn’t it?”
After hearing this, the others' eyes lit up.
Chen Xi thought of something and said:
"If you want to make this series of videos as Polaris said, I can invest on behalf of the Chuxi Guild to make the videos of higher quality... The prerequisite is that you need to add the Chuxi Guild's logo and some advertisements at the beginning and end of the video."
Dongyang and Goutoujin made the same request upon hearing this.
Su Keying opened her mouth slightly. She didn't expect that her troubles could be solved so easily, and she also got unexpected gains. She thought for a few seconds, then smiled.
"Okay! Thank you for your suggestions, I think it's feasible!"
"It's always better to have a lot of ideas than to think alone... That's what we want to do as a small team, isn't it?"
The centaur raised his glass of hot fruit tea and gestured to the crowd.
"Come on, let's have a drink! Let's celebrate the victory of this mission and... the end of the upcoming version."
"cheers!"
Ding Dong!
The top players smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was extremely cheerful.

Chen Lun had already left the winery alone and headed for the Kangkai Council headquarters.
The Speaker had told him that after clearing the war zone he was responsible for, he would need to return, and a secret meeting would be held for him alone.
His companions were all resting in the winery, but he still had a lot of things to do.
After arriving at the headquarters.
In the magnificent hall on the first floor, Chen Lun once again received respectful looks from many congressmen. Many congressmen even stood up from their sofas and bowed to him.
"Master Jack."
"Mr. Archon."
Chen Lun had already changed into the arrogance of the Archon before he went out, wearing a grey robe over the retro knight's armor. As he passed by them, he smiled and nodded slightly.
"Good day, everyone."
After saying hello, he walked straight through the shadow curtain and went up to the second floor.
He could vaguely hear people discussing him behind him, but Chen Lun didn't care.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, I saw six consuls sitting at a marble round table and Speaker Azgiero sitting on a high seat in the back.
"Jack, you're here."
The Speaker nodded at him.
"The three governors Houston, Mulenga and Yasmin will arrive later. Please sit down and wait for a while."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker."
Chen Lun saluted him with his hands on his chest, then sat down in his own seat.
The three archons, Ginsburg, Page and Bindu, turned to look at him with smiles on their faces.
"Good day, my Lords."
"You're welcome, Jack. Now you're on the same level as us, just call us by our names."
Ginsberg chuckled in his powerful voice.
Chen Lun smiled humbly, called the three consuls by their names again, and said good day.
They had a brief exchange with Chen Lun, and then the three absent consuls arrived late.
"Sorry, everyone. There was some turmoil in the battle zone. It took some time."
Mulenga took off his helmet after entering the chamber, looked apologetic, and strode back to his seat. Houston was in a similar situation as Yasmin, and looked like he was in a hurry.
"Is there anything that requires an emergency meeting?"
Houston sat down and said with a cold expression.
She glanced at Chen Lun.
"Is it because Governor Jack took the lead in completing the clearing mission of the 'Yanbang No. 2' war zone? If he needs to be commended, I can have someone write a letter of praise, or give a speech in the Great Council Hall on the first floor."
Hearing her explosive tone, Mulenga calmly asked:
"Houston, don't bring your emotions here because of the troubles in your own war zone... Jack is a newcomer to the Senate, but he is the first consul to complete the clearing mission. Doesn't he deserve praise?"
She knocked on the table.
"Not to mention that the team he led was the fastest in the entire empire during the Bloody Campaign... If I don't praise him, should I praise you?"
"Humph! I haven't mentioned this yet!"
Houston snorted coldly, stared at Chen Lun and said:
"I want to ask, Governor Jack, why did you break into the 'Baobaobang No. 4' war zone that I was in charge of without even saying hello, and wreak havoc deep into the enemy camp? What was your purpose? I'm not accusing you of stealing credit, but your behavior has seriously affected my strategic deployment!"
"I was kind enough to help you share the pressure, but how come you said it was intentional to make trouble?"
Peggy chuckled.
"Assuming that both sides do not easily use their high-ranking combat power, what do you think is the key connection between the rear area of the Red Apple Church and the area you are fighting?"
Before Houston could speak, Landa, who was also a female consul beside him, spoke calmly:
"So, can I also come to your war zone under the pretext of helping you, Peggy?"
"As long as you dare to come, I welcome you anytime."
Peggy squinted her eyes and smiled.
Chen Lun secretly observed the verbal confrontation between the two consuls and knew that he could no longer remain silent. After all, this incident was ultimately caused by him.
So he stood up, with a polite smile on his face, and said softly:
"Everyone, this matter is ultimately my fault. I hereby solemnly apologize to Governor Houston!"
The four governors, Houston, Landa, Malak and Mead, looked at him indifferently.
"Just an apology and that's it?"
Malak was a fat man with a round face, she sneered.
"Of course not."
The smile on Chen Lun's face remained unchanged.
"So I plan to lead the team to the 'Jewel State IV' war zone to help Governor Houston wipe out the Red Disaster as soon as possible... After all, I don't have much to do, so I might as well just sit there and do nothing, right?"
"What are you talking about?"
Houston looked at him coldly with an extremely unfriendly tone.
