“—It is the extraordinary knowledge of Sequence 6 of the Destiny System!”
Polaris immediately informed the team members of the good news in the channel.
“—What the hell?! Sequence Six’s extraordinary knowledge!”
"—Brother Beizi, your spring is here again!"
"—I'm so jealous, Chao!"
Polaris glanced at everyone's comments in the channel and added:
"—It's a pity that it's only one tenth, but this also shows that this hidden copy can produce extraordinary knowledge of destiny, which is good news!"
After he finished reading the diary, Brother Will next to him found that the young man did not lose control and die suddenly. His expression became extremely excited and he shouted:
"Great! Great! Finally there is a sacrifice that can read the contents... Guards, lock him up quickly!"
Polaris glanced at Will who was dancing with joy, and without saying a word, he drew out his metal staff sword and slashed the man's neck with it.
ever!
Blood spurted out immediately, Brother Will's eyes widened, he fell to the ground, holding his neck.
Seeing this, several guards nearby quickly drew their daggers and rushed forward with roars. However, Dongyang and Nangua were quick-witted and arrived first, pulling out their flintlock rifles and firing at them.
Boom boom boom…
The church guards' daggers fell to the ground with a clang, and they were shot dead one after another. Blood was spilled all over the ground, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The surviving young man Jack and the silent nun Floin were both shocked. They retreated cautiously and were about to escape from the door.
At this time, Polaris spoke to stop them:
"Don't be nervous, you two. We have no ill intentions... In fact, we have a blood feud with the Red Apple Church. We can rescue you along the way... You should know that there are still many guards outside. It is very dangerous for you to go out like this."
His tone was quite gentle, trying to calm the two people down.
Young man Jack and Sister Floin looked at each other, whispered a few words to each other, and finally took a deep breath, chose to believe in Polaris, and agreed to leave with them.
Then, Polaris turned to the team members and said:
"You all should also take a look at this diary, maybe you will gain something."
"Thank you, Brother Beizi. I'll go first!"
The Dragon King volunteered, strode over, picked up the vintage diary on the stone table, and opened it to read.
Soon, the expression on his face showed joy.
“Really!”
Seeing everyone's surprised faces, the Dragon King first glanced at the two NPCs next to him, and then added an explanation in the channel:
"—Different from Brother Beizi, I got a knowledge of Sequence 7 of Destiny, one-fifth of a magician!"
"—It seems that everyone who goes to see it will gain something different."
Dongyang thought for a moment before answering.
Next, everyone in the Polaris team took turns reading the diary. Some were happy and some were sad. For example, Dongyang only got half of the Destiny Sequence Eight - Fortune Teller, while Pumpkin, like Polaris, got one-tenth of the Destiny Sequence Six - Aerial Trapeze.
Although everyone was reading the same diary, their gains were indeed different. At the same time, everyone discovered a pattern, that is, Sequence 9 is complete knowledge, Sequence 8 is one-half, Sequence 7 is one-fifth, and Sequence 6 is one-tenth.
"—But as long as we repeatedly play this hidden copy, we will be able to gather the complete knowledge sooner or later!"
There was a light of anticipation in Polaris' eyes.
After a moment.
Just like the process in the first week, they escaped from the dungeon with Jack and Floin again, and killed the final boss Father Carter outside.
However, the clearance prompt did not pop up.
Just as the Polaris team was feeling confused, a large group of church guards, leading rotten hounds, surrounded them.
"Kill the intruders!"
An angry voice came from behind the guards.
Polaris looked closely and saw that it was a fat monk with the name "Stouton" displayed above his head.
"—It should be the trigger of the hidden plot."
Dongyang reminded in the channel.
Polaris drew out his staff sword, performed a sword flower, turned his head and said:
"I'll leave these small fry to you."
After saying that, he threw a card knife with his left hand. With a sound of "huh", it pierced through the necks of two church guards and killed them. Then the blood-stained card came in front of the fat priest.
"ah!"
Brother Stulton dodged in panic, but his face was still scratched and one of his big ears was cut off.
Polaris performed the "Altered Soul" trick, swapped places with the card, appeared behind Stulton, and pierced the opponent's back with his staff sword.
Phew!
Brother Stulton's face froze.
But the next second, his face showed hideousness and ferocity.
"Damned heretics! Die!"
Polaris raised an eyebrow and found that behind the name above the other person's head, there was a bracket that read "Bishop Newman Possessed".
"It turns out to be a hidden BOSS..."
He chuckled, showing absolutely no nervousness.
Through investigation, it can be learned that even if he is possessed, Stulden's strength is at most at the level of Sequence Eight, so Polaris is not afraid of him at all.
In less than twenty seconds.
Polaris took advantage of the surprise of the "living person transformation" and combined with his sword skills to chop off the fat monk's head. He ignored the opponent's deformed and hairy corpse and turned back to the team.
By this time, the other team members had already killed all the church guards and hunting dogs, leaving behind a pile of corpses.

Low-rent apartment living room.
After experiencing two hidden dungeons in a row, the Polaris team was already a little tired.
Although everyone's emotions were still high and they couldn't wait to continue, but even with the replenishment of the tranquilizing potion, their sanity values could not keep up, and they would definitely not be able to enter the fairyland again in a short period of time.
After some summary and discussion, they determined that the new changes in Wonderland, that is, this series of copies, were extremely precious and rare resource points... They could accumulate rich experience and resources by repeatedly brushing them.
Especially extraordinary knowledge!
This is a hidden dungeon that can produce knowledge of both the Fate and Flesh and Blood paths! The clearance score has a direct impact on the harvest!
"If nothing goes wrong, I can gather enough extraordinary knowledge of Sequence 6 in half a month, and then start my promotion."
Polaris said as he took a sip of his tea.
"Congratulations, Brother Beizi, you will soon become the first in the entire server!"
Pumpkin Girl laughed.
"My incomplete flying trapeze is useless, so I'll give it to you."
"Thank you, but I won't take it for nothing. I can exchange it for gold pounds or credits... Or will I return it to you in the future when I get the knowledge of the bloodline?"
"Give me the knowledge after you get it. This way it can be considered a complementary exchange."
Pumpkin chuckled and spoke.
Dongyang picked up the teapot, refilled everyone's cups, and then said:
"That's good. If we find knowledge that we don't need, we can share it with the team... But the content of the 'Prologue' is still a bit limited. The knowledge produced is only for two factions."
"Next week we will go explore the hidden dungeon in Kazt Town. The subsequent content should contain knowledge from other sources."
Polaris said.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Su Keying, who was checking the game forum, exclaimed.
"Look at the forum posts. A circus player has leaked the secret of the hidden dungeon..."
“That’s normal.”
Dongyang shook his head.
"But it's useless for other players to know this. This is a copy exclusive to the circus... and without sufficient strength, they can't get the props to open the hidden copy."
"Can you see if there is a strategy sharing post?"
Chen Xi suddenly thought of something and asked.
Su Keying nodded, and soon her eyes lit up.
"have!"
She took a screenshot of the post she found and posted it in the chat channel.
"Fuck... Good fellow! How dare you!"
The Dragon King was furious when he saw this.
"He killed Boss Jack right at the beginning! And then he killed Flo Yin as well?!"
"What is the final rating of this player team?"
Dongyang asked with a frown.
“Um, no rating…”
Su Keying looked in the comment section again and saw some messages from the poster, and then she answered Dongyang's question.
"Um?"
Everyone was shocked.
"What's going on?"
"They were all wiped out."
Su Keying chuckled.
"The poster said that as long as Jack and Flo Yin are killed, a hidden boss battle will be triggered... The original Sister of Silence will break through the barrier of the dungeon and rush in directly, killing all players with a black scythe."
"Fuck..."
The Dragon King's eyes widened.
"Doesn't this mean that, in the main plot of the 'Prologue' dungeon, there is no other choice except to help Jack?"
"That's not the case."
Su Keying found a message, which was the strategy revealed by the poster.
She took a screenshot of it and shared it again in the chat channel.
"If you kill only Mr. Jack or Flo Yin, the hidden boss battle that is triggered will be different, and the difficulty will be much lower..."
Su Keying raised her head and looked at the rest of the team.
"If you kill Jack alone, the bosses who show up will be the 'behind-the-scenes' cadres Golov, Barton, and Morey. Although it will be difficult to fight, you can still win... If you kill Floin alone, the bosses who show up will be the 'Black Cat Warriors'. The difficulty is the same as the trio."
"I just don't know what I can get from defeating the intruding boss..."
Dog-headed Gold stroked his chin and suggested in a low voice:
"How about we try to kill Jack for once?"
"Fuck you! You want to die?!"
Weiyin immediately went berserk, stood up and scolded.
"Don't be angry, Big Sister. Brother Gouzi was just talking."
Tutu and Nana quickly stood up, grabbed her, and kept persuading her.
Now everyone is discussing the hidden copy, and every possibility should be taken into consideration so that we can get enough resources.
"Many of the new posts on the forum right now are about hidden dungeons... Resource points that can produce extraordinary knowledge really make these guys jealous and crazy."
The Dragon King also opened the forum and took a look, and couldn't help but sigh.
"It goes without saying that the circus is popular again..."

A week later.
Royal City Tourmaline Closter.
In front of the archway of the Kangkai Church area, several carriages filled with wooden boxes and objects slowly drove out. Chen Lun sat alone in one of the carriages with a smile on his face.
After this period of fermentation, the popularity of the hidden copy of Wonderland even exceeded his expectations.
Some of the players under the circus even ignored the main quests and plunged into the wonderland... They turned a blind eye to the pollution of the spirit world and only wanted to have a good time in the hidden dungeons.
Of course the results are gratifying.
The sanity value currently accumulated by the Maggie statue has reached a new high of nearly 50,000 points, which is enough for Chen Lun to use lavishly.
After being promoted to a high position, whether it is to exert one's own sequence ability or to activate strange things, it requires a lot of rationality. This is also the reason why ordinary saints do not easily use their true bodies... However, Boss Chen has no such concerns at all.
In addition, a large number of extraordinary high-level players frequently died in wonderlands and hidden copies, contributing more than four million experience points and hundreds of attribute points to him again.
Chen Lun couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the copy he designed.
"My greatest satisfaction is when the players have fun..."
He couldn't help but sigh.
During this week, more than 20,000 high-level players, through continuous trial and error, have basically completed "Prologue: Red Apple Prison"... Except for the intrusive BOSS "Silent Sister" triggered after killing the two protagonists of the dungeon, which is still impossible to defeat, they have found all the other endings.
There is a guide post on the forum that details -
If you defeat the "Behind the Scenes" trio, you will gain random conspiracy knowledge below sequence 6, as well as a huge amount of experience points as a reward... and if you defeat the "Black Cat Warriors", you will get a random rare item.
For example, "The Black Cat Warriors' Letter of Support", "Jack's Magic Scroll" or "The Circus Leader's Oil Painting".
In short, the rewards for hidden copies are extremely generous, and their appeal is far greater than the main quest.
At the same time, in the process of frequent dungeons, the circus players gradually learned about Mr. Jack's past and gained a deeper understanding of this NPC leader.
I have to say, he does have great charisma.
As a result, Jack's popularity has risen again among the player community.
"Heh..."
Chen Lun chuckled, and as the carriage bumped along, he took out a vintage cowhide copy of Les Miserables. The ivory-white fountain pen transformed from a hide-and-seek object quietly emerged in his hand.
"The Polaris team should be finding the next hidden dungeon soon... I just happened to have some new ideas during this period, so I can add a little to them."
Chen Lun thought to himself and opened the notebook.
On the second page, some modifications and additions were made to the content titled "Chapter 1: Gallery of Bones".
At the same time, he would occasionally turn to the end of the notebook, where he recorded the settings and information of the circus cadres.
This is also the prototype of the BOSS that suddenly appears in the hidden copy.
'Although this is the first time that Froinnoa and the others' fate has been intercepted, Mizang is far more powerful than I imagined... He was able to replicate an almost identical existence without affecting them, except that its strength would be somewhat weakened.'
Chen Lun let out a long breath.
After a moment.
He closed the notebook and put away his pen.
At this time, the carriage team had left the royal city and was driving on the main road in the suburbs.
Chen Lun smiled slightly, and the iron crown on his head suddenly appeared.
The deep gray cloak fluttered, and he raised the ivory-white scepter in his hand and tapped it lightly.
whoosh!
Four or five giant carriages, along with the circus executives inside, all disappeared on the spot...
