In the next two days, Chen Lun has been optimizing all aspects of snake parasitism.

After some adjustments, he found that the most basic "snake parasitic unit" is at the cost of one of his fingers. If you want to enhance the effect of "snake parasitism", you need to separate more body parts, such as an entire arm.

And this is also the limit of what "snake parasitism" can withstand.

The difference between the two cannot be said to be worlds apart, but there is also a difference of several times.

It depends on how much consumption Chen Lun is willing to put in.

After all, each "snake parasite" requires a lot of physical strength and sanity.

In this way, he divided into three levels of "snake parasitism": a finger, a palm, and a whole arm. At first glance, it sounds a little creepy and uncomfortable, but it is indeed very practical, and it is not painful for Chen Lun, after all, with the extraordinary biological trait "Split Recovery", coupled with the vitality infusion of the "Stinging" bookmark, he can be reborn with a broken limb in a short period of time.

When the development stabilized, he set about burying the entire circus members in his own snake parasite. Chen Lun did not discriminate, including the new members Alex and Antonio, and even the little butler Connie, all of whom were implanted with a large "snake parasite" with "one arm".

This will give them a strong life-saving hole card.

Of course, it can also be regarded as some kind of "sensing device", and if Chen Lun is willing, he can even use it as a "monitor" to grasp the host's actions in real time using the "five senses".

However, when it comes to the privacy of the team members, especially the three ladies Floyin, Maggie and Connie, he will not be so obscene and boring.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Lun once again asked Connie if she wanted to be a transcendent.

"Actually, you've been on the team for almost two years, and you know a little bit about the things in the occult realm, and you also understand the magic of the transcendent...... As long as you open your mouth, I can give you any way of transcendent knowledge. ”

Chen Lun said.

This time Connie hesitated.

But in the end, she shook her head.

"Thank you, Mr. Jack, for asking me this question before...... I like this big family very much, and I am willing to give for everyone, but I am not keen on extraordinary power, I just want to be an ordinary person and spend my life like this. ”

Connie was a little restrained, she touched the back of her neck, the part that had just been parasiticized, and it was smooth at this time, and she couldn't find any traces.

"But the transcendent have stronger bodies, longer lives, and more beautiful appearances...... Don't you aspire to have any of these? ”

Chen Lun smiled slightly and confirmed again.

"Even if you fail to read the transcendental knowledge and fail to comprehend the mysteries from it, there are other ways to help you become transcendent...... Even if it gets out of control, I'm sure I'll keep you safe. ”

Connie looked grateful, but her eyes were full of nervousness.

She seemed to be worried that another refusal would cause Mr. Jack to be displeased.

"You have told me that the mystical realm is unpredictable, and that the transcendent is no longer human in some way, but a trekker who walks on the path of the gods, and once set foot on it, there is no turning back...... I'm sorry, Mr. Jack, but I'm horrified by that. ”

Connie lowered her head and whispered.

"I don't have a big ambition, but it's a great honor to meet you, when I was a poor student, when I was at my worst...... You appreciate me, value me, and give me respect and trust as a human being. But I just want to serve you as a human body, even if I am clumsy, even if I am fragile, even if one day I can't keep up with you and fall halfway...... It will also persist until the end and see you away. ”

She squeezed out a smile.

"Unless you don't need me like this anymore."

Chen Lun was slightly stunned, a little moved.

He heard Connie's subtext, and the other party probably mistakenly thought that he was beginning to dislike her as an ordinary person because of his several inquiries. As the team members continue to join, there are more and more transcendents, and Connie is becoming more and more conspicuous.

She may have been curious and envious of Chaofan, and even had low self-esteem, but in the end she still chose to be an ordinary person. Chen Lun knew that if she insisted that Connie become a transcendent, she would not refuse.

But he respects Connie's choice.

"Don't be nervous, Connie, I don't mean anything else, but considering that there is still a long way to go in the future, and having extraordinary powers can better protect oneself, so I asked for your wishes."

Chen Lun gently patted Connie's shoulder and laughed softly.

"Since you don't want to, forget it."

"Thank you, Mr. Jack."

When Connie saw Mr. Jack's smile, her slightly suppressed mood changed and she smiled.

She then said cautiously:

"Of course, if there is danger and I cause trouble to everyone, I will choose to leave and not drag everyone down."

"How so, Connie!"

Maggie leaned over and put her arm on her shoulder.

"With us to protect you, what are you afraid of!"

Noah, Golov, and Antonio all chimed in, while Floyin smiled silently. Connie looked touched and whispered thanks to them.

Chen Lun looked at this scene with a little emotion, and also smiled.

After this incident.

Chen Lun sighed with emotion, each member of the team has their own pursuit, not their own puppet, and all they can do is to mention and help.

I believe that they can also thrive and help themselves in the future.

So he sorted out the books in the Blood Poetry Ring, and took out some valuable mystery books, even mythological books.

He has already read all these books, and it will only be a waste of their value to put them in his hands, so it is better to read them to the team members to increase their mysterious accumulation, and maybe even inspire them.

Chen Lun placed the collection of books in the study and called Floyin to take care of it.

The news was then conveyed to everyone on the team.

This incident made everyone feel extremely happy.

Chen Lun has a large collection of mysterious books on hand, covering almost every path, and the team members are able to find books related to their own faction to read, which greatly improves their knowledge and understanding of supernatural powers and occult realms.

In particular, the three volumes of Carmen's Codex, as well as an overview of biological structures and mythical creatures, a set of magical faction notes, and a natural faction mythological book, obtained after coming to Peacock City. When Maggie saw them, it was as if the door to a new world had been opened, and she exclaimed again and again, saying that she had more ideas.

Chen Lun is quite satisfied with this result.

He already seems to be able to foresee that in the near future, the team will become stronger.

Time has quietly come to the end of the year.

December 1st.

This is the thirty-fifth day of the circus' arrival in Peacock City.

The sky began to snow lightly, the temperature cooled, and the city's residents changed into thicker coats or cotton hats. Peacock City, as a port city, has been affected, and the port in the East Side has ceased to function, and countless unemployed workers are staying at home, cursing the damn winter.

Because there are many tributaries of the Weiling River that flow into the river, diluting the salinity in the seawater, and the geographical location where there is no warm current passing through, the water surface of the port in the eastern area is frozen, which seriously hinders the entry and exit of ships.

Many industries in the city have been hit, and even the lives of many residents have been affected.

This is the severe cold that Peacock City experiences every year, whether it is the weather, the economy or life, it is a severe cold. Local residents are supposed to be accustomed to this, but in addition, the recent seizure of the Montero slaughterhouse by the police has caused the price of meat and dairy products in the market to skyrocket, and many residents who are unable to make ends meet have taken to the streets.

There are even many homeless homeless people, huddled in the streets and alleys shivering.

At this time, led by the Harrington family and the Simon family, many nobles and business elites were gathered to hold a charity auction, and it was decided to donate all the proceeds of the auction to the relief of the residents of Peacock City.

Chen Lun also received an invitation to the auction.

"Mr. Jack, please come to this auction with a good face."

Huo Yiner was sitting on the sofa in the living room of the winery villa and said solemnly.

On his side, there was Miss Tracy.

The two came to the door at almost the same time.

At this time, they are no longer the children of the business family and the aristocratic ladies, but have become the rulers of their respective families, and there have been obvious changes in their dress and mannerisms.

Specifically, it is more mature.

"In fact, this charity auction was led by the Peacock City Council, and the two of us were invited to hold it...... I heard that there is also a meaning of a shelter behind it. ”

Huo Yiner whispered, took off his hat and coat, handed it to the bodyguard on the side, and waved his hand to retreat.

The fireplace was lit in the main building of the villa, and the temperature was warmer.

This kind of behavior is actually a bit extravagant, and even many small aristocratic families are reluctant to be so extravagant and wasteful, because the coal in Peacock City is extremely expensive, especially in winter.

But Chen Lun didn't care about this little money, although most of the team were extraordinary people who were not afraid of the cold, but Alex and Connie were just ordinary people, and in order to take care of them, the fireplace was burning in the villa almost all day.

"And the council promised us that as long as the charity auction is successfully completed, we will give tax incentives to our property next year, and even sell the newly developed land in the southwest region to us cheaply......"

Huo Yiner happily shared the news.

Halfway through speaking, he suddenly realized something, his expression was a little embarrassed, and added:

"Of course, even without that, I'd be happy to hold a charity auction, because this year is more difficult than ever...... Many low-income residents are unable to support even basic living and live on the streets, and I want to help. ”

"But without the benefits of these councils, most of your people will not support you, Mr. Hoyiner."

Miss Tracy said on the sidelines.

She blinked and half-jokingly said:

"The cold has affected not only ordinary people, but every industry has been affected to some extent, whether it is the industry of your Simon family or the industry of our Harrington family, it is actually not good......"

Huo Yin'er listened, just smiled bitterly and nodded.

Chen Lun listened silently and sighed slightly.

This world is like this, not everyone everything is black and white, even the nobles and wealthy businessmen have good and upright, but the world does not allow them to do what they want.

The mystical realm is hidden on the other side, and the transcendent have transcendent power and status, but most of them are also selfish, and it is rare that they are willing to help mortals.

The Trisur Empire is getting more and more tired, from Emerald Town, Amber City, and now Peacock City, as well as the many corners that Chen Lun has seen and seen, he can see the most powerful country on the continent, which has gradually shed its gorgeous skin, revealing festering flesh and blood.

Ordinary people live in such a world, it is extremely difficult, although because of the entrenched class, people at the top of the pyramid may be able to live well, but they also have to worry about all kinds of things. Especially now that the official supernatural forces are powerless and chaotic, it seems that no one can stay out of the situation.

Even the transcendent face the dangers of the occult realm.

Whether it's the Red Plague, the Dark World, or even the unspeakable in the depths of the unknown.

Is it only to become a high-ranking person, an angel, or even a god...... In order to achieve true detachment? ’

Chen Lun couldn't help but have such a thought.

He was silent for a moment.

Immediately picked up the invitation to the charity auction, and said to Huo Yiner and Tracy:

"Thank you both for inviting me personally, and I'll be there on time the night after tomorrow."

"That's great! Mr. Jack! ”

Huo Yiner looked very happy.

"We'll greet you at the door in person."

Tracy smiled.
