"The needle doesn't poke!"

Chen Lun nodded with satisfaction.

This strange thing seems to be tailor-made for him, with the existence of [Hell Resistance], there is no need to worry about the extraordinary flame will burn him, he only needs to increase the power and burn the enemy.

And the cost of consumption, he can completely bear it with life force, as long as the sanity value saved in the Maggie statue is enough, with the [Sting] converted into vitality, he can continue to fight.

"As for this one, it's a reward for completing the quest to save Floy......"

Chen Lun took off his gloves and then picked up a ring.

[B-grade Strange Thing - Song of Blood and Poetry]

Item description: A monster of flesh and blood powers, resembling a ring set with ten rubies, delicate inscriptions, and a short nameless poem-

"Let me die in your arms, I don't have to sigh for me about the hardships of the quagmire of flesh and blood, let me offer a fishy sweet entanglement, there is no need to mourn for me for the whirlpool of bones, let me arrange a gorgeous feast, invite the world, and taste my sufferings together."

Item Effect: Devours the target's body and spirit, restoring the caster's stamina, spirituality, and injuries. Dimension space +10 squares.

Item cost: After wearing, every once in a while, you must eat, otherwise the items in the dimensional space, or even the wearer, will be used as food.

"What an unexpected......

Chen Lun played with it in his hand and sighed.

[Song of Blood and Poetry] This ring is not only a functional artifact, but also a storage artifact.

With it, then there will be no fear of crowd tactics.

As long as there is a steady stream of miscellaneous soldiers, grab them and "eat", the physical strength they consume will rise, and the injuries will also recover. If the injury is too serious, there is still [sting] in hand, with [molting], and the next second he breaks out, and he is a good man.

It's really not good, then slip away, anyway, you can fly, is it difficult to chase me to the sky to fight.

"Uh...... It's not impossible, so you can't be too arrogant. ”

Chen Lun groaned.

"Wouldn't it be nice to find a time to go to the slaughterhouse, stuff ten eight big fat pigs into dimensional space, and feed one to it when you're hungry?"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he suddenly felt the ring shrink slightly.

After staring at it for a few seconds, Chen Lun shook his head, took out the contents of [When the Grapes Are Ripe], and put them into the [Song of Blood and Poetry], and then put this Blood Poetry Ring on.

"Although it has been eliminated, it is also a 'storage trick' after all, and it is very valuable...... It can't just be wasted. ”

Chen Lun looked at the purple gem ring in his palm and suddenly had an idea.

He got up and walked out of the room, finding Floy making snacks in the kitchen downstairs.

"Do you want to taste it? This is Mrs. Caroline's exclusive wine cake. ”

Floy, who wore a white apron on her chest, turned around and smiled.

Immediately, she handed a small plate containing the cake to Chen Lun, then turned around and poured the tea leaves from the teapot into a basin, ready to be left for the maid to use as carpet cleaning.

"Hmm...... It's delicious! ”

Chen Lun's mouth bulged and muttered.

Then he pulled out the purple jewel ring and handed it to Floy.

"Well, in exchange, this trick is for you to ......"

"...... this?"

Floy tilted her head and "stared" at the object in Chen Lun's palm, her expression a little surprised.

"A ring?"

Chen Lun finished eating the cake, licked his fingers, and nodded.

"A 'strange thing' in the shape of a ring...... It contains dimensional space, which can store items, and the cost of using it requires expressing love to it every once in a while. ”

"I love it."

Floy picked up the grape ring and placed it between her fingers to gently caress it, feeling its touch and contours.

"Does it have a name?"

"'When the grapes are ripe.'"

The corners of Floy's mouth lifted slightly, and a smile appeared.

"Nice name, is it purple?"

"Yes."

Chen Lun put the plate on the kitchen table.

"Our team will grow soon, and you've been promoted to the Transcendent, and you'll need it."

“…… Thank you. ”

Floy "looked" at him, clasped her palms together, and held the grape ring in her palm.

The day before the closed beta ends.

The Polaris Five receive a letter from Mr. Jack inviting them to visit the estate.

"We really got a giant leg...... The previous battle was terrifying when I thought about it. ”

On the street, the changed outfit of the doghead Jin whispered.

He touched the beret on his head, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Hmm...... I want to know if we can get the second ring mission when we go back to the manor this time. After all, the closed beta will end tomorrow, and it would be nice if you could get extraordinary knowledge before then. ”

The centaur smoked a low-quality cigar and said in a deep voice.

The others nodded.

The last time they followed Mr. Jack into the Red Apple Chapel and witnessed him kill the terrible Bishop alone, they received a hint that the first part of the mission had been completed, and they were settled according to their contributions.

The biggest gain was Polaris, who not only contributed the most, gained the most experience points and currency, but also got a pair of [Connie One] mechanical gloves, and the others only had a [Fury] Trumpet.

When they saw that Polaris, as a mortal, could rub out a fireball, the eyes of the three centaur guild players were straight, and they couldn't wait to grab it immediately and take it for themselves.

But after noticing Polaris' playful eyes, they dismissed the idea that none of them wanted to try what it was like to be roasted.

Forgetting Wuji, this guy knelt the fastest, and shouted "Brother Beizi" on the spot, and won a [Connie No. 1] "Limited Time Experience Coupon".

At that time, for more than half an hour, in the courtyard of the Flower and Bird Tavern, there were waves of excitement from Forgotten Wuji, and the guests in the tavern were stunned and stiff.

The centaur and the doghead Kim despised it in private, but in their hearts, they were inexplicably envious.

Immediately, I felt a little sad.

Not only that, but the spoon-shaped trick finally fell into Su Keying's hands. The centaur was so anxious that he shouted a high price at the time, which was enough for Su Keying to change to a better set of equipment in the real world.

Fortunately, Su Keying didn't care much about this trickery, so she sold it to him.

It's a joy for all.

"—That spoon, it's stupid, it can be made bigger and longer as a weapon. But every time I run out, I have to knock myself 250 times......"

These are the original words that Su Keying sent to Polaris after selling the things.

Soon, several people entered Jack's Manor.

"Here you are, please be seated."

In the living room of the villa, the black-haired young man stretched out his hand with a smile on his face.

The five of Polaris sat down on the sofa one by one, and their eyes were carefully placed on Chen Lun.

Chen Lun, wearing a quaint leather glove on his right hand, picked up an expensive bottle of red wine and poured a glass for each of the five players.

Then he poured milk into his goblet.

"The Red Apple Church in Amber City has been destroyed by me, and I thank you for your help."

Chen Lun picked up his wine glass.

"Let's have a drink."

The others secretly complained in their hearts that this powerful NPC was really different, drinking milk from a goblet, and it was really elegant.

"We only did a little bit of our best, mainly because you, Mr. Jack, single-handedly killed the bishop of the church."

Polaris raised his glass with a serious face, and the others followed suit.

Jingling.

The glasses collided, and everyone looked up to drink the red wine, and then saw Mr. Jack burp.

“……”

The others wanted to speak, but they didn't dare to move, and their eyes looked at each other a few times, and fell silent.

Soon, the player five saw the black-haired young man leaning on the sofa with his legs crossed, his silver cane diagonally beside his legs, and his smiling face gradually became serious and serious.

They couldn't help but sit up straight.

"Although the Red Apple Church in Amber City has been destroyed, there is still a long way to go......

Chen Lun said in a deep voice.

Polaris and his party secretly said in their hearts, sure enough.

"—The second ring mission is coming!"

"You have great potential, but you are still too weak, I am willing to give you some help......"

Chen Lun's calm words came, and the five players received a prompt box at the same time-

[Trigger B-rank Hidden Chain Quest: Honkai Amber Apple!] 】

Ring 2: Given your contribution to the team and Mr. Jack's appreciation for you, he decided to give you a chance.

Tip: This opportunity is extremely rare, so treat it with caution!

Reward: [Silver Serpent Ring] (Official Member's Token)*1

“！！”

Their hearts pounded at the red-glowing hint.

"You have passed my test, and I will not hide it from you as my own...... I have a unique supernatural power that can send people to the other side and endure difficult trials. ”

Chen Lun whispered and stretched out his index finger.

Scold!

A flame erupted from his fingers, swaying, and changing, the sun, the moon, the stars, the flesh, the sharp knives, the waves, the earth, the scrolls, the plants, and the playing cards......

The light of the fire shone on the side of the black-haired youth's cheek, and between light and darkness, he smiled slightly.

The flames turned into a giant python and circled around him, then bit its own tail, forming a ring of flame behind him.

The Polaris Five were stunned, holding their breath and looking at this young man like a god on earth.

"I call the other world the 'fairyland', it is full of dangers and opportunities, where you can not only obtain transcendent substances, but also find opportunities to become stronger—the 'fairyland' contains ten complete paths to godhood, that is, ten transcendent sequences."

The flames dissipated, and the unhurried voice of the black-haired youth came.

The five Polaris felt a stagnation in the heat wave, but they were already soaking wet, and their hearts were beating extremely fast.

Just by hearing this, they have already felt the level of "fairyland", I am afraid that it is terrifyingly high!

Doghead Jin and Oblivion even trembled uncontrollably, which was caused by the anticipation that welled up in their hearts, as well as the intense excitement.

Su Keying's little hands clenched, just now she fortunately came back to her senses and took the opportunity to take a screenshot, otherwise she would have to regret it for a long time.

"Mr. Jack, may I ask what kind of place you are talking about 'Wonderland'?"

The centaur only felt that his mouth was dry, and he asked in a hoarse voice.

"I don't know...... It was my innate ability to open the door to the 'fairyland', but I still don't know what it is, but I feel very familiar. ”

Chen Lun showed a lonely expression.

"I feel like a voice is calling out to me, chanting my name, expecting me to save the land......"

He lifted his eyelids and stared at the five players.

"I believe you can help me find the truth...... At the same time, this is also a rare opportunity for you, because every time you use this extraordinary power, it is a great harm to me. ”

The five of Polaris glanced at each other, and they all saw surprise and seriousness in each other's eyes.

"-I'm packing tickets, this 'Wonderland' is definitely a top-level copy!"

Centaurs send text messages.

"-Then, according to our current rank, wouldn't it be sent there?"

Forgotten Mowgli replied.

——@遗忘无忌: There is a Mao so-called, tomorrow the inner side will end, the second ring task must be won, how high the identity of this official member, don't you see? Brother! ”

Kotou Gold's text message.

"—It's a rare opportunity, and we have to take a look. Moreover, I have a hunch that Jack's origin may be much greater than we thought...... This ability to reach other worlds, innate, coupled with the prayers and calls of the other world, what do you think of? ”

Polaris SMS.

“……”

There was a moment of silence in the chat room.

A few seconds later, Su Keying sent a text message:

"-Uh, it can't be the son of God, right?"

—(horrified expression)"

—(horrified expression)"

"—Blanch! It's really possible! (Frightened)"

Chen Lun silently observed this group of players, and smiled secretly in his heart.

It seems to have taken the bait......

He had already made a plan and was going to let these five players go to "Philip in Wonderland" to do some experiments. Let them explore for themselves and test the mechanics in Wonderland by the way.

"Mr. Jack, it's rude to ask that, but ......"

Polaris hesitated.

"Mr. Polaris, they are all their own people, what can I say directly."

Chen Lun smiled slightly.

Polaris let out a long breath and was silent for a while, then asked tentatively:

"Excuse me...... Is this the only chance? ”

Chen Lun put the silver cane upright, his hands folded on it, and behind him was half of his face.

The handsome eyes showed a solemn look, and the magnetic voice said softly:

"No, not the only one."

He denied it.

"If you can perform well in this 'Wonderland' trial and become a full member...... Then in the future, as long as the contribution is enough, even if I pay a big price, I will continue to open the door to 'fairyland' for you. ”

“！！！”

Five players explode in the chat room.

What does this mean?

This means that this top-level copy of Jack can be re-brushed!

As long as their contribution is reached, or some other conditions are met, then they can continue to enter, and then grow stronger through the next growth.

The centaurs and Polaris are so experienced that they can see the value at a glance.

This is an extremely rare opportunity for other closed beta players, and even in the world after the open beta!

"Are you ready?"

The black-haired youth looked at them calmly.

"I'm going to send you to Wonderland."
