Chapter 66: Inexplicable Hostility
Rumble!
A cloud of flame swept black smoke into the steel plate, instantly blackening it, and a wave of hot air pushed it around.
Rumble!!
Then another cloud of flames struck, this time condensed into a basketball-sized fireball, which slammed into the steel plate with a thud, sticking to it like a maggot on a tarsal bone and burning continuously.
After a few minutes, the flames were extinguished, and the steel plates were burned red, leaving a few potholes and melt marks on the surface.
"Well done, Connie."
Chen Lun looked at the mechanical gloves he was wearing on his hands and praised them sincerely.
Connie's originally apprehensive expression instantly turned into joy.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Jack. This is the first replica I tried to make based on a drawing, and I thought it had failed. ”
The entrance to the warehouse of the small estate.
Chen Lun and Connie are experimenting with a new weapon.
Its appearance is slightly different from that of the previous madman, with more grain on the surface, many delicate gears and some small mechanisms visible under the reinforced glass sheets.
【Untitled-Mechanical Gloves】
Item description: A talented craftsman who imitates a weapon based on an oil painting of the Strange Object.
Able to emit flames, or in high power mode, fire high-temperature firebombs. With a special synthetic fuel, it can be attached to the target, dealing continuous scorching damage.
Turning over the brilliant sparks, covering the hands and destroying the fire.
"No, it worked, Connie."
Chen Lun smiled and took off his gloves and handed them back to Connie.
"Since it's your work, it's up to you to name it."
Connie looked surprised, and then said with a little excitement:
"Mr. Jack, let's call it 'Connie One'! Famous creations in history are named after their creators, and I want to ......"
Connie was a little embarrassed as she spoke, and her voice became quieter.
Chen Lun couldn't help but wonder.
He nodded, agreeing with the name of the new glove. Although it doesn't sound very good, it is the greatest respect for Connie.
【Connie No.1 - Mechanical Gloves】
"Very good Connie, you can take this money, it is your deserved reward."
Chen Lun took out a small money bag containing more than a dozen gold pounds. Connie tried to excuse herself, but she was forced into the palm of her hand.
"Your sweat and hard work shouldn't be wiped away, Connie."
Chen Lun smiled at her, and then said:
"I've already arranged it at the Yellow Iris Academy, and you can go there to study in a few days......
Then you have time, so you can arrange for the craftsmen to continue to build the Connie One, and there will be some ...... to be produced for the horn gun and ammunition."
Chen Lun gave an order and left the small manor.
Connie looked at his back and clenched her money bag with emotion.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down, Mr. Jack!"
……
Walking on the road, Chen Lun saw more police officers patrolling than usual.
This was caused by the death of Congressman Daniel.
Chen Lun pondered with a calm face.
Things seemed to go in the direction he didn't expect, and Congressman Daniel, who was supposed to die two years later, was assassinated early.
Who is the murderer? Will it still be the "Big Stomach" Dolly?
What is the reason for the ...... of the butterfly effect?
Did he inadvertently flap his wings?
There are too many missing clues and puzzles, and it is difficult for Chen Lun to deduce the whole picture for a while.
But he knew that this matter was inseparable from the Iron Fist Gang. Remember what Congressman Daniel's butler, Federman, said before he died......
Perhaps it was because of himself that he broke the control of the people behind the scenes over the Iron Fist Gang and that group of craftsmen, which affected the subsequent series of events.
After all, this is what he is involved in, and the thing that has the most connection with Congressman Daniel.
"The soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it."
Chen Lun let out a sigh of relief.
It can be seen from the fact that he chose to save Floy in the first place, Chen Lun is not afraid of the butterfly effect.
In order to ensure the direction of the plot, it is a coward's performance to keep the advantage of "omniscience". Since you have crossed into this world and chosen to follow your heart, you must move forward fearlessly.
Chen Lun can profit from his familiarity with the plot, and he is not afraid that the world line will be deviated due to his own intervention.
Because he believes in himself.
……
Rebecca didn't want to go to class today.
She pestered her parents for a long time and finally convinced them to take a day off.
On the lawn in the backyard of the manor.
Rebecca sat on the swing and stared at Mr. Jack as he read a book. Floy teased the little white cat at the table, and from time to time she could hear chuckles from her interactions with the cat.
The bright but not dazzling sunlight shines, and the manor is a leisurely scene.
[By reading carefully, you gain 195 experience points]
[The Star Faction Mystery Book "Please Be Patient" (100% Progress) has been read through!] 】
[You have gained 1 additional skill point and 1 attribute point]
Chen Lun let out a long breath and put down the book in his hand.
This is the second book containing transcendent knowledge that he has found in his study these days through carpet searching.
Although he couldn't find evidence that Viscount Pompeii got [Philip's inheritance], the acquisition of extraordinary knowledge alleviated his depression a little.
"I have already taken all the benefits of the two extraordinary knowledge that I have in the study......"
Chen Lun was secretly happy.
In addition to experience points and skill points, he has mastered a new sequence path, [Star Faction] [Sequence 9 - Hunter].
Counting the extraordinary knowledge in his hands, he has unconsciously reached four parts.
The stars, the earth, nature and destiny......
Two copies of the sequence path of the Seven Great Righteous Gods, and two hidden sequence paths, there is a lot more room for players to choose at that time.
Chen Lun thought to himself that while other players were struggling to pursue the path of transcendence, the players who met him were struggling with which one to choose.
I'm really looking forward to that kind of scene.
"Miss Rebecca, Master Vigre is back, and the Viscount asked you to come over."
The Binoz butler came to the backyard, bowed to Chen Lun's Floy, and then said to Rebecca.
"I see, Mr. Butler."
Rebecca said.
She declined Binoz's help, looked at Chen Lun, and looked forward to asking:
"Mr. Jack, can you push me over?"
"I'd love to help you, Miss Rebecca."
Chen Lun put away the books, walked over and gently hugged Rebecca into the wheelchair.
Mr. Jack's strength is so great!
His arms are also warm!
Rebecca looked intoxicated, and Floy came up with the little white cat in her arms, her tail accidentally brushing over Rebecca's face.
"Ahh
Rebecca sneezed and covered her face in shame.
Oh, my God! Granny Moon is on top!
I...... I behaved so disrespectfully in front of him!
It's so embarrassing!
Mr. Jack won't laugh at me!?
The expected laughter didn't come, and Rebecca felt the wheelchair under her seat begin to push.
Turning his head to look quietly, he noticed that Miss Floy had an apologetic look at her.
……
The crowd came to the Viscount's villa.
After Chen Lun entered the hall, he saw the Viscounts of Pompeii chatting with a young man on the sofa.
"Rebecca, don't you say hello when you see your brother?"
The brown-haired young man got up and walked up and smiled at Rebecca.
"Ah...... Brother Vigray. ”
Rebecca Road.
The young man turned his head to look at Chen Lun and stretched out his hand.
"You're Rebecca's governess, Mr. Jack, aren't you?
I heard my father talk about you and thank you for teaching Rebecca and helping her at the Cry Zoo. ”
Chen Lun shook hands with him, his eyes staring.
Immediately, he smiled politely as usual:
"That's what I'm supposed to do, Mr. Vigray."
After the two sat down, Viscount Pompeii introduced Chen Lun:
"I told you before, my adopted son, Vigray. This time it's a routine vacation, so check it out. ”
The young man smiled and nodded at Chen Lun.
Chen Lun's heart lit up with a warning light.
The moment he shook hands just now, he received a prompt-
[Vigre's favorability towards you has declined, and it is currently hostile!] 】
Not only that, but he also felt a strong threat from this young man.
He's a transcendent!
The brown-haired young man looked at Chen Lun and thought the same.
He sneered to himself.
"That's you......"
When he came back this time, it was obvious to him that the Viscounts of Pompeii were far less enthusiastic about him than before, and even Rebecca was a little distant.
This made him angry, as if it was his own and had been taken away by someone else.
"Mr. Jack is living on the manor now, isn't he?"
Vigre smiled.
"I'll visit you after dinner...... Ask you a little bit about literature. ”
