wonderland.
Lakeside cabin area.
Five hundred elite circus players were gathered here. The lawn, the cabin, the lake, and the statue of Jack next to the grapevines were all filled with players.
Although the number of players in the circus has reached more than five thousand and is still increasing, the upper limit of the number of people that the wonderland can accommodate is only five hundred. There are still many players who are queuing in the real world in a rage, trying to squeeze in at any time.
After all, it was close to the start of the main quest, and they urgently needed to exchange the "Psychic Vision Potion" as an admission ticket. The rumors were getting more and more intense, and almost all the circus players knew that the potions in their exchange warehouse were much cheaper than those in other places!
With it comes a sense of pride and superiority, but also urgency.
Because the amount of "Clairvoyance Potion" provided every day in the exchange room at the Jack statue is limited!
It’s not that Chen Lun is engaging in “hunger marketing”, but Maggie’s research and development was only recently successful, and there is not enough time to replenish inventory, so even if production is at full capacity now, it can only barely maintain the basic needs of players.
In order to prevent people from hoarding and reselling the products, Chen Lun also strictly limited the purchase limit for each player to only five per day... Perhaps this will be relaxed over time, but for now this is the only way.
"Huh..."
Dog-headed Jinwei stood in front of the statue, let out a long breath, and held five finger-sized glass medicine tubes in his hands. The purple potion inside emitted a strange light under the sunlight.
He complained:
"I finally got it. Damn, there are more and more players in the circus now. It's a problem to enter the wonderland anytime like before."
Dongyang led the horseman Kuang Ben Kuang and the Dragon King to put away the exchanged potions, laughed and said:
"This is actually a good thing. Only when the circus becomes stronger and stronger can we develop more steadily in the future... According to the task panel, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow should be the days when all the major forces enter the spirit world. We should all save up some 'Psychic Vision Potion' to reserve more opportunities for ourselves and facilitate the next activities."
"Yes, after all, according to the mysterious realm, the 'Spirit World' is basically an area that only mid-sequence transcendents can pass through. Players like us must use external objects to spy on the cracks and enter. We will definitely not be able to adapt at first... And it is said that the polluting creatures are quite powerful, even the authorities and the church find it difficult, otherwise they would not recruit players to serve as the main force... We can only store more 'Vision Potions' to increase our tolerance rate."
Chenxi nodded and agreed with Dongyang's suggestion.
The high-level players exchanged their potions and felt fulfilled. At this time, the Dragon King found that Polaris was empty-handed, so he smiled and said to him:
"Brother Beizi, why don't you buy the 'Psychic Vision Potion'? Don't you have enough gold pounds? I can help you out... When you enter the spirit world, remember to take good care of me."
Polaris glanced at him and shook her head.
"My perception is already over 30 points, so I don't need to take medicine."
"Uh... How could I forget that you are already a mid-level rank, Beizi?"
The Dragon King slapped his forehead in embarrassment.
He turned his head to look at the others and found that Dog-Headed Gold and the others were looking at him as if he were a clown, which made the Dragon King clench his toes and sweat profusely.
"Your brother Beizi is now a top expert. He is no longer on the same level as us 'ordinary people'. How could he be short of your few coins?"
Gold nugget made a joke.
Everyone couldn't help but chuckle.
"With the North Star boss in the team, I always feel very at ease."
On one side of the high-level team, next to Su Keying and Wei Yin, a petite girl with short orange hair smiled.
She was none other than the new female player named "Pumpkin" who had just joined this small group. Last time in the Hercule Bridgehead Battle mission, she had made it into the top ten of the standings, which impressed Dongyang and the others, who invited her to play together.
Pumpkin girl was a high-level solo player like Polaris Su Keying, and there were many female players in the team, so she accepted the offer without much thought.
"Even if you praise me like this, I won't be your tool when I enter the spirit world."
Polaris smiled and shook his head.
"Brother Beizi, you are our big brother. If not you, who else can we rely on for care?"
The Dragon King pretended to be in tears and looked like he was just about to kneel down and kowtow.
Goutoujin kicked him immediately.
"I hate dogs like you the most in my life!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
At this time Dongyang suggested to Polaris that he should buy the full quota of "Clairvoyance Potion". Although he could not use it himself, it could be used as a backup resource for other people in the small group and increase some opportunities for everyone.
"According to the black market section of the forum, this type of perception-enhancing item has been sold for 8 gold pounds each. When the time comes, our team members will buy it from you. How about this price?"
Dongyang suggested.
Polaris glanced at everyone, and everyone else nodded in agreement.
Only then did he agree.
"OK."
Although this amount of money is nothing to him now, Polaris has developed a habit of thrift due to his long-term experience of poverty, and he is unwilling to miss any opportunity to make money.
So he got all the "Clairvoyance Potions" he could exchange for, and would do the same every day from now on.
You can help your teammates and make some extra money at the same time, so why not do it
Kangkai Church area.
Most of the people sitting on the prayer seats in the cathedral were believers who came to worship the "God of Contract". Chen Lun had helped Fana Johnston and his wife to catch the treacherous liar Petel, which increased his reputation. In addition, every Sunday, the priest would organize mass activities and give believers a small amount of "holy water", which attracted a large number of residents from the central area and the upper city.
The reputation and popularity of Kangkai Church continued to grow.
Chen Lun was sitting in a corner of the prayer seat at the moment, not attracting the attention of any believers. Only Councillor Frey, who was serving as the priest today, cast a cautious look at him from the pulpit.
He smiled gently at the priest, then turned around and left the church with his silver cane. If he stayed here all the time, it would put a lot of pressure on Frey. Anyway, he just came to take a look, and since there was no problem, he might as well go out for a walk.
In the spacious and huge church, believers looked at the priest devoutly and listened to his teachings. The young man in the black hat who stood up and left from the middle aisle was very abrupt, but no one noticed him.
Until Chen Lun left the church and walked into the garden in front.
At this time, he casually opened the panel and took a look, and found that his assets were increasing rapidly. He knew in his heart that this was because the "Vision Potion" was selling well, and the circus players under his command were constantly exchanging it through statues.
'When I first arrived at the Royal City, I had nearly 400,000 gold pounds on hand. Now I only have 150,000 left. It's gone so fast... Fortunately, I can take this opportunity to make some money back. The cost of a potion is 30 silver gallons, and it only costs 1 gold pound to sell to players. It's quite conscientious. The main idea is to make small profits but quick turnover...'
He thought to himself.
Immediately, he scanned the other panel data again, and Chen Lun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. In the experience value column, it was already showing 56W/55W!
'It seems that the players have been quite active in Wonderland these days... The kill rewards from death are a bit more than usual, so we finally have enough.'
Chen Lun raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He immediately found a bench to sit down and secretly controlled the panel, transferring the experience points to the main occupation of juggler LV49, raising it to the maximum level.
A golden light that others could not see flashed from Chen Lun.
He had finally upgraded his main profession to the upper limit of Sequence Five, and his epic legend had already met the requirements for the promotion mission. Everything was ready.
Chen Lun once again took out the book "The Life of a Master Performer: Philip's Autobiography" from the Blood Poetry Ring, took a deep breath, and slowly opened it.
You discovered the mythical knowledge of "Fate Faction Sequence Four - The Joker"!
After testing, you have met all the conditions for starting the promotion task.
You have triggered the "Saint Promotion Mission: Turn the Hand of Fate"!
Mission Description: After an extremely long and arduous journey, you have finally accumulated enough experience, power, knowledge and influence to reach the final step of the transformation myth.
In your past studies and explorations, you have understood what fate is. You have also learned how to observe it, mislead it, avoid it, and even use it. But even so, you are still just a stage performer and must perform according to the script of fate.
Now, you want to transcend your human body and transform into a mythical being, so that you have the qualifications to challenge fate... Then, your first and foremost step is to try to change the trajectory of your true destiny.
Mission requirements: Successfully change the fate of a high-ranking person.
This promotion task was different from previous ones. The requirement was described in only a very short sentence, but Chen Lun frowned.
He would rather the task be more complicated and described more specifically than be so vague... If he misunderstood, wouldn't it be all in vain
"Successfully changing the fate of a high-ranking person... How can it be considered a fate of great importance? For example, if I can change the plan that was originally going to be carried out through words, does that count... "
Chen Lun closed the book and pondered quietly.
He sighed, thinking that this was not safe. The simplest, most direct and effective way was to deal with matters of life and death, which absolutely met the requirements of the promotion task.
'The most direct way is to kill the opponent, cut off his original fate and wipe out all possibilities for the future, or to revive the saint who was about to die and continue the future development of his fate...'
Chen Lun's eyes were deep.
It sounds simple, but it is extremely difficult to implement.
It is not so easy for those in high positions to fall. Each of them is like an old villain, hiding their true bodies in unknown corners and only using their incarnations to move around in the world.
He closed his eyes and leaned back on the bench, many goals flashing through his mind.
Philip
I once promised her that I would help her escape from the dream world, but with my current strength, I am not qualified to face Ms. Sigh directly.
When he recalled the sighs behind him when he escaped from the dream world, he could still feel a chill. If there hadn't been a strange existence helping him, he would have probably been in trouble.
In comparison, saving the "old bootlicker" Carmen Mage is more realistic... After all, although the dark world is dangerous, it is better than the dream world and Ms. Sigh. And he also accepted the commission from Ms. Frederic and promised to help her rescue her student Carmen.
But until now, Chen Lun still doesn't know where she is trapped and why she is trapped... Since she can restrain a high-level magician, the problem is obviously not small. Do I have the ability to solve it
Chen Lun was not sure either.
There were also the Archons of the Senate, Speaker Azgiero, Chief McCaughlin, Her Majesty the Silver Dragon Witch, and even "Sun Boy" Terrence... These were all targets he was familiar with and had come into contact with before, but even if he contacted his memories from his past life, it was difficult to find an opportunity.
He sighed secretly and planned to think about it and make more plans in the next few days.
If all else fails, he could collude with Princess Anna and kill one of the "Light-Bathed Holy Guards" during the prince's birthday dinner... Of course, this was just Chen Lun's thought, and Princess Anna probably wouldn't do such a meaningless thing.
Focusing on the wonderland, he scanned the players' situation and saw that they were still happily exchanging items around the Jack statue, which made him feel much better. He took the opportunity to sense the Maggie statue gazing at the lake and found that the sanity value stored in it had returned to more than 10,000.
"Hmm... This way, I can let go of my hands in the battle again."
Chen Lun nodded secretly.
After taking a deep breath, he stood up and left.

Two days later.
Chen Lun appeared in the square of Kangkai Church in his iconic black hat and suit. Most of the players under the circus had already gathered here.
When entering the spirit world for the first time, one needs to receive an order from the leader of the force, and after that, you can do whatever you want. The government and the church are very tolerant of any hunting of polluting creatures.
Chen Lun faced thousands of players and announced the order:
“Warriors from a foreign land, it’s time to enter the spirit world… This is your second mission to save the world after the Red Calamity, but I believe you can resist the gradually resurrecting darkness and kill those abominable polluting creatures!”
He raised his left hand and pinched the brim of his hat, with a slight smile on his face.
"Of course, as the head of the circus, I have the obligation to lead you into the spirit world for the first time..."
As he spoke, he held the silver cane in his right hand and pointed it towards the sky ahead.
Like a magic trick, a big white python emerged from his sleeves, snaked along the staff into the air, opened its mouth and spit out light towards the players' heads, and the azure spiritual fire spread out in a fan shape, stunning every player present.
They didn't actually know what Mr. Jack was doing, but they felt it was something special. As expected, the surrounding scenes slowly "fall off" like candle liquid melted by fire, revealing the blue outline of a layer of blurred lake underneath.
"Welcome to the spirit world, but from now on, it's up to you."
After Chen Lun finished speaking, he turned around with a smile.
The figure was like a reflection on the rippling lake, gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.
The players then realized that Mr. Jack had used some kind of extraordinary power to bring them into the spirit world... This saved each player a bottle of "Psychic Vision Potion", and smiles appeared on the players' faces.
Mr. Jack, you still take good care of them!
As expected of the NPC that is praised every day in the forum, he is indeed likable.
Soon another player realized that what Mr. Jack had done was quite amazing... Leading people into the spirit world might not be a big deal for the big boss, but there were two to three thousand players present!
What a level of power this is...
Thousands of players in the spirit world could not help but look at each other in bewilderment.
