After lunch.

Chen Lun received a reply from the Spirit Messenger of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

With an expression of awe on his face, the pig's head handed over an envelope from the wall.

After Chen Lun took it, it swooped and slipped away.

'Why are you so afraid of me...... I, Jack, am not a devil. ’

He rolled his eyes and opened the envelope.

The letter details the current situation of the Red Apple Church in the vicinity of Amber City, which has temporarily abandoned the city due to the previous Gallery incident and the Battle of the Square.

Even in several neighboring metropolises, the Red Apple Church voluntarily withdrew and gave way to other churches.

However, in this area, there are still three small town church branches, and Chen Lun speculates that this may be the backhand of the Red Apple Church, which is very likely to be launched and made a comeback in the future.

'Don't leave a hidden danger behind...... On the way to Sunflower City, destroy them all by the way! ’

Chen Lun made up his mind.

Biles reminded me that I couldn't just travel between the two city spirit realms...... Just take the train out of Amber City, kill the three branch churches, and then enter the spirit world from there. ’

The real world.

Azure Federation.

Splendid City.

A 100-storey skyscraper, standing in the middle of the city with flickering lights, all four exterior walls are made of translucent glass made of black technology composite materials, which can also be used as a projection screen.

On the black and blue glass on the front of the building, a dynamic projection font with a sense of science and technology emerges, and the golden brilliance is eye-catching - "Flash Eagle Group - Valhalla Headquarters"!

Dongyang, vice president of Valhalla Pavilion, was sitting in a conference room of hundreds of square meters at this time, which was all white and bright.

At the oval-shaped conference table, dozens of guild leaders sat high-level.

The chairman was talking about the financial situation of this quarter on the stage, and Dongyang did not pay attention to it, but picked up a magazine at hand, and the cover character on it was Dongyang himself.

"The Group is very pleased with how we are doing, and with the growing reputation of Valhalla since the Open Beta of Mysterious Age, we have made historic progress in all the business activities we have taken......

President Xiaoguang was still talking excitedly, and Dongyang flipped through the magazine again.

One of the pages details the Valhalla Guild, which is part of one of the three largest consortia in the Blue Federation, the Flash Eagle Group, also known as the Golden Consortium.

Guilds have traveled across many games, but now the main focus is on Age of Mystery.

But this is not an isolated phenomenon, in addition to the golden consortium "Flash Eagle", the black consortium "Doug" and the red consortium "Amnesia Dancer" also attach great importance to this game and invest a lot of money and manpower.

It's as if there is some huge treasure in this game.

As one of the core executives, Dongyang knows that by increasing popularity, using traffic and monopoly to earn credit points is only the smallest of the many purposes of the consortium.

He had talked to President Xiaoguang about this, and Xiaoguang revealed a very secret information, that is, the reason why the three major consortia attach so much importance to this game comes from the federal official.

Age of Mystery isn't just the first next-era "holographic game", its development team is actually the official scientists of the Federation!

Although Dongyang thought it was nonsense when he first heard the news, it was the truth.

Scientists who spend their days debating how to break out of the solar wind have studied the game, and no one will believe the truth.

Xiaoguang also said that the birth of "Mysterious Age" was an accidental and accidental data evolution of the central computer of the Federation, and it was also an attempt by that group of scientists.

Dongyang was shocked by the truth behind this game.

But as the smartest and most knowledgeable people in the world, no one knows what they're up to.

Xiaoguang finally said that the game "Mysterious Age" must hide deeper secrets, and it prompted the three major consortia to keep increasing their investment in it. Not to mention that the three major consortia have made a lot of profits from it, even if they lose money, they will not hesitate to do so.

This is the conclusion that Chairman Xiaoguang deduced based on the attitude of the upper echelons of the group.

Dongyang also asked the chairman where he got this inside information......

Xiao Guangshen mysteriously said that it was his uncle who had inadvertently said something.

Dongyang felt that the credibility of this news was very high. Because he had heard Xiaoguang mention that the other party's uncle was an official high-ranking member of the Azure Federation and a member of the Azure Holy Sect......

The Blue Cult is the only legal religion in the Federation, and it is also an elite group, and only the best people in various industries can join it.

Almost all of the scientists in the official group of the Federation are members of the Holy Sect!

"Alright, that's all for this meeting...... Dongyang, Centaur and Crazy Ben Maniac, the three of you stay, and the others will break up first. ”

Xiaoguang turned off the meeting projection and spoke.

All the Valhalla higher-ups got up and left, leaving three men behind.

"President, there's something to explain."

Dongyang closed the magazine and pulled his thoughts back.

"The person in charge of this group handover appreciates our work and has decided to increase the resource scheduling, and our share of reimbursement in the game will also be greatly increased...... The three of you have made great contributions to the development of the first phase of the guild, and I am in charge of giving you a bonus. ”

Xiaoguang smiled.

"How much?"

Dongyang glanced at the bright eyes of the centaurs and madmen around him, and asked the question of concern on their behalf.

Seeing this, Xiaoguang shook his head.

"No more, no less...... 10,000,000 credits each. ”

"President, I love you!"

The centaur was a big man, and he was about to give him a bear hug immediately, so frightened that Xiaoguang of 1.65 meters dodged backwards.

"This money is enough for you to buy a small apartment of your own in Gorgeous City, and continue to work hard in the future, and strive to bring your family here as soon as possible."

Dongyang smiled and encouraged the two people around him.

He himself is not short of money, with the development of the federation, inflation is getting more and more serious, this bonus, to be honest, Dongyang doesn't care too much.

The centaur and the madman replied in unison.

That's when it happened.

The expressions of the three of them were stunned at the same time, and the personal terminal on the arm vibrate. They clicked a few times, and a projection screen popped up.

"There's an event trigger in the game, it's Jack's mission!"

"Let's go, let's go to the game pod!"

Dongyang gestured and took the lead in running towards the door of the conference room. Seeing this, the centaur and the madman hurriedly followed.

"Jack and the circus are the most important game resources in Valhalla right now, and the guilds supported by the other two consortiums should have realized the importance of Jack by now, and we can't drop the chain at a critical time......"

Dongyang ran wildly in the clean and spacious white corridor.

"We know, vice-president."

Centaur said.

Soon they arrived at the company's game cabin, which was like a warehouse, large and spacious, full of neat game cabins, and almost all of them were lying down, sleeping with their eyes closed.

At first glance, there are no less than a thousand.

But that's not all, the company has such areas on other floors, and even branches in other bustling cities.

The three of Dongyang found their own exclusive game cabin, lay in it as fast as they could, and then linked the game.

Jack's Manor.

On the spacious backyard lawn, a group of players is gathering, and there are nearly 100 people.

These people are divided into several groups, and they are clearly divided.

Among them, the leaders are Dongyang, Chenxi and Goutoujin and others.

Polaris sat alone on the grass, and when a player went up to talk to him, he was dissuaded by his cold attitude.

Su Keying and Tail Yin whispered on the other side, and there were several female players with unfamiliar faces standing beside them, all of whom were rich women and friends who came for Jack.

"Why hasn't Jack come yet?"

"I don't know...... The nun told us to wait here, and to be at ease. Just now two guys were idle and bored, on the grass and were killed by the man named Golov. ”

Su Keying put a video, and the female players around her suddenly snorted in disgust.

"Fortunately, you hit the code, otherwise the old lady will have a needle eye."

Said one of the female players named "Night Mijuro".

The other Jimei rolled their eyes, usually this guy is the most active in the group, and he often goes to the Autumn Famous Mountain late at night, and the group has been blocked several times.

If you really want to have a needle's eye, most of it is because you have seen too much and your eyes are overworked.

Then they turned their heads to look not far away, in the shade of a tree, where a bearded man, dressed in black, was standing motionless, staring at them motionlessly, like some "gentleman" in the tail line.

"Speaking of circus cadres, it's scary to feel no matter what......"

"Not really, that tall and chubby painter is cute, and he is shy when he speaks."

Several female gamers discussed.

Golov smoked a cigarette and stared at the group of undead, following the orders of the regimental commander and was responsible for maintaining order so that they would not mess around.

Fortunately, after killing two unruly ones, it was shocking, and ten more high-ranking players who were official members of the circus persuaded them, and the others were now obediently waiting in place.

Not much.

Chen Lun, accompanied by Floy, came to the backyard of the manor.

He was still dressed as a young gentleman, with a black dress and a black hat, a silver cane in his hand, and the only difference was that he had added a wide black trench coat.

With Chen Lun's arrival, players looked at him one after another.

"This is Jack?!"

"I finally saw him with my own eyes! I've only seen it on CG before! Thank you for the doghead gold and the forgotten unscrupulous boss, who can bring us over to rise to the world! ”

"So handsome! This kind of person will only appear in the game! ”

“……”

Dongyang Chenxi, Polaris and other ten high-level players walked over together.

They are each looking forward to it, this time Jack summoned the players, and also relaxed the number of people, there must be some big move.

"Mr. Jack."

The golf players said hello.

"It's a pleasure to meet again, you Outland Warriors."

Chen Lun responded with a smile.

He glanced at the many players present, and his eyes flashed with relief, as if he was an old farmer standing in the field during the autumn harvest.

These players are generally level thirteen or fourteen, and belong to the members of various guilds, who used to operate in the plague villages around Amber City, and after coming to Amber City, they joined organizations such as the Vigilante and the Iron Fist Gang.

According to the guild's intelligence and strategy, they will either help the police to maintain order in the city, eliminate some outlaws and diseased animals, or participate in gang fights in the waterfront.

It can be regarded as having undergone some scrubbing and tempering, and it has been out of the new category.

However, at this stage of the version, it is only a transitional adaptation period for players, and all they can get in touch with are some common sense but extremely ordinary tasks and scenarios.

This makes them have a deep longing and "resentment" for the occult realm and the transcendent.

Fortunately, this time, because of the relationship between the ten masters, they finally had the opportunity to participate in the so-called "big task...... And this is mostly an event involving the mysterious realm, which makes every player look forward to it.

It's also an opportunity, an opportunity for them to become full members of the circus!

"I need your help when I summoned you here."

Chen Lun said in a deep voice.

His voice is not loud, but it can be heard clearly in the ears of every player.

"Fate guides me, the empire will be in turmoil, and the red plague is about to sweep the land...... No one can stay out of the situation, this is an unprecedented crisis! ”

Players don't look at each other from the ground.

There is a detailed graphic introduction to NPC Jack in the guild, and two documents can be written about his deeds, and these players have more or less understanding.

The Red Apple Church in Amber City attempted to sacrifice innocent people, and even descended on the Sage Incarnation, but was stopped by Jack alone. At that time, the battle of the Extraordinary was extremely fierce, and the remix video that recorded the footage at that time is still at the top of the game forum for players to talk about.

I didn't expect this to be a harbinger of disaster that could cause turmoil in the empire?!

In other words, this is the main story!

The players' eyes were full of surprise and anticipation, and they were eager to try.

Chen Lun took a step forward, the invisible momentum was spreading, and every player felt a stagnation in their breath.

"The Red Apple Church in Amber City has been uprooted by me, but there are still three church branches in this area...... I need you to work together to destroy them together! ”

He said in a deep voice.

All the players were stunned and received the mission prompt.

[Trigger B-rank Hidden Main Quest: Jack's Determination!] 】

Mission Description: "Destiny Guide" Jakespet discovered the source of the disaster in advance, and it was the Red Apple Church, one of the seven Orthodox Churches of the Trisur Empire!

Before the curtain of the disaster officially opened, he decided to take action first and clear all the branches of the Red Apple Church in the area of the urban agglomeration with Amber City as the core!

Objective: Destruction of the Red Apple Church in Ice Glutinous, Oil Bean, and Red Flower (0/3)!

Rewards: 5,000 XP, 10 Gold Pounds, Silver Serpent's Ring (token of official members of the circus), and Sombra Weapon (Shortsword Wand)*1

“！！”

The players were in an uproar.

"B-rank hidden main quest!"

They took the task in a hurry, and then in their respective chat rooms, they talked wildly.

I thought that this kind of big event was still far away from me, but now I really participated in the main story!

While dozens of other players are still struggling to level up, they have already come into contact with the main story of version 1.0 in advance!

It's really exciting!

The ten high-ranking players were also shocked, they looked at each other, and then looked ahead in tacit understanding, and set their eyes on the handsome and mysterious black-haired gentleman.

"-Jack's importance is undeniable, and with him, we can participate in the main story to a great extent!"

Dongyang spoke.

"—Isn't that nonsense! During the closed beta, we already knew it! ”

Kotou Kim replied.

Polaris, Su Keying and others on the side nodded one after another.

"—No, you don't understand what I mean...... Even the three major guilds and players scattered around the world map have not yet triggered the main story! Do you know what that means? ”

Dongyang said.

Hearing him say this, the others woke up a little and were stunned.

"- Here, Jack is the key person who opens the main story of version 1.0!"

Chenxi sent out a paragraph.

The others suddenly felt inexplicably excited.

"The Red Apple Church is a terrible sin! They have become corrupt and degenerate, and have lost the bottom line and principles that they should have as a righteous church! Deception, kidnapping, murder, and sacrifice...... Do everything you can to do it, it's a completely evil force! ”

Polaris suddenly raised his arms and shouted.

The high players around him were taken aback, and the other players were also a little surprised.

Even Chen Lun glanced at him in confusion.

'Oh, I haven't splashed dirty water yet, why is this kid so good!' ’

"Let's follow in Mr. Jack's footsteps and eradicate the branch of the Red Apple Church! Eliminate unnecessary hidden dangers before disaster strikes! ”

Polaris shouted coldly, raising his fist high.

The other players suddenly felt their blood boiling, cheering, and sharpening their knives.

"Kill the Red Apple Church!"

"Garbage and rotten apples must be exterminated!"

"Haha, our first big task is to face off against the Seven Righteous God Churches, it's so exciting!"

Chen Lun on the side looked at these players with hippie smiles, looked at Polaris again, and laughed secretly.

'This kid ......'
