I Became The King of Villains in The Game

Chapter 468: S-level quest and Vision Potion

Views:

At this time, a task prompt popped up on Chen Lun's panel—

You have triggered the "S-rank side quest: Tragic Prince"!

Mission description: You learned about the past of Arno, the eldest son of the sun, from Princess Anna, who is the god "Proud Sun" worshipped by the Proud Sun Cross. Anna wants to follow the guidance of fate and the oracle of "Proud Sun", kill Prince Dazlet, eliminate the disaster predicted, and help "Proud Sun" escape.

Princess Anna has invited you at this time.

(Refusing will lead to unknown consequences, please choose carefully!)

Mission objective: Dazlet Trisul dies.

Mission rewards: 1 million experience points, 10,000 gold pounds, 50 points of regional fame, 20 attribute points, 10 special attribute points, 1 blessing point and Annatrisur's favorability.

"The S-rank branch... the rewards are really generous."

Chen Lun fell into a brief contemplation.

He weighed the pros and cons in his mind, knowing that if he rejected Anna's invitation, the other party's favorability would inevitably drop to freezing point, and there might even be a conflict.

As the leader of a secret organization, Princess Anna cannot be a soft-hearted person. Now that she has known these secrets, she will not allow herself to leak them.

Once the relationship breaks out, even if I manage to escape by leaping through the clouds, it will be difficult for me to move around in the royal city, and everything I have done here will be ruined.

Turn around and tell Prince Dazlet

Chen Lun could not produce any conclusive evidence.

How could the royal family believe the one-sided words of an "outsider" and point the finger at the Sun King's beloved daughter

and…

'Arnold is Philip's best friend and also considers me a friend. If it weren't for him, I might have been lost in the dark end of Wonderland. Athena, the ancestor of Froyin, also died because of Dazlet's betrayal...'

Chen Lun turned his head and looked at the dancing roots in Fuluoyin's palm, took a deep breath and said:

"Well, Princess, I think I know what to choose..."

He accepted the task secretly and looked at Princess Anna again.

"I promised to help you, but it's not unconditional support... I can only say I will do my best."

"Thank you, but that's enough."

Princess Anna smiled.

"The ninth of next month will be Dazlet's twenty-third birthday. The palace will hold a grand banquet to celebrate... and that day will also be the day he dies."

She briefly explained the plan to Chen Lun.

"Normally, he is accompanied by five 'Light Bath Holy Guards' to secretly protect him during his daily life and outings, so it is difficult to find an opportunity to assassinate him... But the day of the birthday dinner is an exception. At that time, they all have other tasks and will temporarily leave Dazlet for a while."

"Even so, it's not easy to kill him."

Chen Lun frowned.

"The palace dinner will gather many important people, even the top leaders of the Church of the Seven will be there... Besides, how are you going to kill him in front of His Majesty the Sun King?"

"Father will not be attending the dinner... She hasn't shown up in many years. She even missed my coming-of-age ceremony two years ago."

Princess Anna shook her head calmly.

"As for how I will do it, I'm sorry, I can't tell you for now... But when the time comes, I will need your cooperation."

"… "

Chen Lun frowned slightly.

He was silent for a moment, then sighed.

"Okay... But Your Highness Anna, since you are unwilling to reveal the specific actions, if the actual situation at that time will put me in a very dangerous situation, I will refuse to participate."

"Don't worry, you won't be in any danger."

Anna whispered.

Seeing her serious look, Chen Lun nodded.

In the following time, the two of them tacitly did not continue this topic, but chatted about something else, just like communication between ordinary friends.

After two cups of tea, Princess Anna stood up and said goodbye.

Chen Lun and Fuluoyin accompanied her back to the carriage and watched it slowly leave the path illuminated by street lights.

After standing there for a while, Chen Lun recalled what Princess Anna had said before. Suddenly, his eyes focused and he found something wrong.

'The Oracle of the Blazing Sun...'

Chen Lun muttered to himself.

Although he had only known Arnold for a short time, he could see that given his character and personality, he would not have given Anna and her followers the oracle to "kill her brother Dazlet to help herself out of trouble."

Let’s not talk about her current situation, whether she still has clear mind and can issue oracles... When Chen Lun parted with Arnold, he asked her why she didn’t leave together. Arnold’s answer was that it was her mission to stay at the end of darkness and hunt darkness forever.

If that's the case, why does she want to escape

This is obviously somewhat contradictory...

'Did the pollution change Arnold's mind? Or did she really hate her brother Dazlet...'

Chen Lun was a little unsure.

He couldn't even figure out whether the "corpse" he saw at the end of the darkness was dead or alive.

Arnold's current true condition is ultimately unknown.

In the end, Chen Lun could only sigh and put these thoughts deep in his heart.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

The order issued by Prince Dazlet has gradually spread from the royal city to all parts of the empire. Official shelters, the seven major orthodox churches, and many large and small supernatural forces have responded to the call and started recruiting more undead strangers to prepare for the next march into the spirit world and hunt the spreading pollution tide.

The Kangkai Council where Chen Lun was located was no exception.

However, since he was currently in charge of the Royal City branch, he only kept the circus players under him. However, he was not idle, and took this opportunity to expand the "recruitment quota" and deliberately conveyed some information to the player group.

Upon learning that Jack Circus was recruiting, the gaming forums were once again in an upsurge of enthusiasm, with countless related posts popping up, spreading the good news like wildfire and sparking enthusiastic responses from players.

This extraordinary organization, which has been "highly productive" with elite players since the internal beta, has attracted the attention of many players. Anyone who plays "Secret Age" now knows that the "Circus" is one of the best places to go. Let's not talk about the various exclusive benefits inside. The players in the group are all big names on the leaderboard. Isn't it hundreds of times better to get to know a few people and learn from them than to learn by yourself

And a very important point is the circus leader, Jack Speight.

This NPC had an extremely bright moment in the previous version. Coupled with a series of related special videos released by "little fan girl" Su Keying, players all know that under his command, they can gain benefits that others cannot obtain.

So all of a sudden, many players close to the royal city rushed over.

It just so happens that the 2.0 version has raised the player level cap, and most of the second-tier players have successfully been promoted to extraordinary people, reaching the circus recruitment threshold.

During this week, more than 3,000 players successfully joined the circus.

The number of elite players under Chen Lun directly reached more than 5,000, of which about 1,000 were Sequence 8 Transcendents.

Polaris is still a unique mid-series player, far ahead of the competition.

This day.

Chen Lun was in his room, preparing to edit the panel to issue relevant tasks to his players. After all, according to Prince Dazlet's request, they should officially start hunting in the spirit world in the next few days.

Knock-knock…

There was a knock on the door.

Chen Lun had just stood up when the knocking on the door became more urgent, even turning into a loud banging, as if the person outside was in a hurry to go to the toilet.

He rolled his eyes and walked over to open the door.

Chen Lun knew who was knocking on the door by using his five senses, so he was not angry. A young woman with messy hair was leaning against the door, one hand on the door frame and the other hand raised in the air.

"Maggie, could you knock a little more gently next time? I'm about to have a heart attack."

Chen Lun helplessly pointed inside the door and motioned for her to come in.

Maggie simply ignored his words, walked into the room, and took out a bottle of purple potion.

"Captain! The research on the potion has been successful!"

She pushed the purple glass bottle in front of Chen Lun as if to seek credit.

"This is the new potion that I developed based on your request and the 'True Sight Potion Third Edition Formula'... Although it's not as effective as the original one, the cost is greatly reduced. Of course, there will be a tiny price, but that's not important... By the way, I also gave it a name, 'Tears of a Sensitive Puppy'! What do you think?"

"Forehead… "

Chen Lun looked at Maggie's expectant eyes and nodded seriously and appreciatively.

"That's fine, Maggie. I feel fine."

"Hahaha... I knew that you, Captain, know how to appreciate my talents."

Maggie put her hands on her hips and laughed.

Chen Lun coughed, took the potion, sat on the chair, and directly used the panel to conduct some investigation.

He raised his eyebrows.

The results showed that it completely met my expectations.

Although the effect of the drug only lasts for 3 seconds, it can increase the perception attribute by 20 points, which is enough for players to peek into the cracks in the spirit world.

'This potion can be used as an exclusive prop for the circus, and will serve as a core consumable and necessary item for players to participate in the main quest for a long time... More importantly, it is much cheaper than similar props from the shelter, church, and other forces! '

Chen Lun smiled.

Of course, it is not perfect. As Maggie said, it has a little side effect... Within one minute after taking the potion, the health value will drop by 50%, accompanied by various symptoms such as heart cramps, gastric perforation, liver bleeding, and unstoppable tears in the eyes.

"Well... I believe that these are nothing to the brave and fearless foreign warriors."

Chen Lun nodded and thought to himself.

Then he asked Maggie whether this medicine could be mass-produced in a short period of time and what the specific cost would be.

"Captain, compared to the previous potions, 'Tears of the Sensitive Puppy' doesn't require many materials. It only costs about 30 silver trophies... As for production, with a skilled beaker, we can prepare 30 bottles of liquid medicine at a time, and it can be done 24 hours a day."

Maggie answered truthfully.

Chen Lun was quite satisfied with the result.

He took out an Imperial Bank voucher with 50,000 gold pounds on it and handed it to Maggie, asking her to devote all her efforts to making the potion in the coming period of time, and said that she could ask the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce for help in purchasing the necessary materials.

According to the experience of the previous life, the consumption of this potion is very high, and players are limited by their own level and strength and are very dependent on it. It can be said that if you want to participate in the main storyline, you must have this "ticket" to enter the main stage "Spirit World".

And every time players enter the spirit world, they need to consume one.

If they die in the spirit world, they will be reborn from the resurrection point in the mortal world. If they want to enter again, they have to consume another one.

So Chen Lun planned to take advantage of this opportunity in the current version to earn some "hard work fees" from the players... After all, other forces, this kind of stuff is too expensive, and even requires force contribution. But the circus is different. In order to allow warriors from foreign lands to buy this potion at a low price, the head of the circus, Mr. Jack, went through a lot of hardships to find the formula, and urged the cadres to research and develop day and night, and finally achieved results.

So Chen Lun felt that this little bit of “hardship pay” was very unfair.

He deserves it.

'I have really sacrificed a lot for you...'

Chen Lun sighed in his heart.

At the same time, he was silently giving the potion a new name. After all, it was not appropriate to call it as Maggie did.

'Since it's a low-end version of the 'True Sight Potion', let's call it the 'Psychic Sight Potion'...'

A few days later.

On August 12, players officially started the main quest of version 2.0.

This time is different from the faction confrontation in version 1.0. The goal of almost all players is the same, which is to hunt down as many polluting creatures as possible in the spirit world, and there are corresponding task rewards and points based on the strength of the target killed, and finally the prize pool will be settled at the end of the task.

It was also at this time that the rather unfamiliar term "spiritual world" gradually entered the vision of most players.

In the game forums, popular science about the "spiritual world" began to increase, and players realized that the world they had been living in was only the surface of the real world, and there was another world overlapping with it.

However, a huge problem lay before them.

So where is the "spiritual world"

How do I get in

According to popular science, one needs to have a perception of 30 points to detect the rift and then enter the spirit world through the rift... However, that is a panel attribute that only middle-sequence extraordinary people can possess.

This left most of the players dumbfounded.

With the military supplies released by the forces of each player, they found a way, which was to use potions to make up for the attribute defects and enter the spirit world. However, the price of these potions was quite expensive, which made the players complain for a while.
