Peacock City Jack Winery.

Back garden.

Today's weather is bright, the temperature is slightly warmer than in the past, cold with a hint of warmth, and the sun shines in the garden, making the whole scene appear transparent and bright.

In the middle of the garden there was a makeshift awning under which Noah was sitting and painting.

Behind Noah, Alex watched with his elbows in his hands, amazed.

Even Antonio was attracted to the eye and did not go to play with Bib Dingding. It was chewing grass in its mouth, and the big white cat was holding dings in its mouth, standing on Antonio's back, a cow, a cat, and a hedgehog, all staring intently at the paintbrush behind Noah, and after being stained with paint, moved to the canvas to paint.

"Noah, you're exaggerating the facts...... It's not good to deceive. ”

Antonio spoke and admonished very seriously.

"Huh?"

Noah stopped his paintbrush and turned his head to look at the cow in confusion.

"Anton, why do you say that?"

The cow shook its head, lifted one of its forelimbs, and pointed to the naked body of the handsome man on the canvas.

"How can humans be stronger here than cows? This is not realistic. ”

Alex patted the cow and said with emotion:

"You're just a cow and don't understand human art......"

"Maybe I don't understand, but I know it's a lie...... It's like Alex, who often lied to me about how great he was, but you were a Luther. ”

The cow said angrily, and lowered his head to nibble on the turf.

"Damn! Where did you learn this vulgar word?! I'm not Luther, I say it again! ”

Alex broke the defense on the spot and pounded the cow's body in a rage, but the latter did not move.

When Alex fell to the ground exhausted and out of breath, Noah whispered to the two companions:

"I'm not exaggerating! Mr. Jack's body is so perfect! It's the most golden ratio male I've ever seen! ”

"I have a lot of respect for Mr. Jack, but I don't believe it."

Antonio said, standing upright like a man, his cow in full view in front of the two of them, as if trying to prove something.

"You see, it can't be."

"Antonio! Get down here! Stop showing your damn thing! ”

Alex screamed.

Noah also hurriedly reassured the cows, so that Antonio could lie down again sullenly.

"Anton, don't show your body to others, especially ladies casually in the future...... This is very rude! ”

"Got it......"

Antonio muttered.

It manipulates its muscles and slowly retracts sensitive parts into its body.

"That's all right, it's a way for male cows to show their charms, and you humans don't understand the art of cows."

Noah and Alex looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Then.

Floy came over with snacks and tea, and Noah saw this, and with lightning speed, he put away Mr. Jack's art painting and replaced it with a half-finished landscape painting.

"Ahem, thank you, Miss Floy."

Noah stood up very respectfully, took the tray, and said to the blind girl in the black dress.

"You're welcome."

Floy smiled.

The cow suddenly turned his head and said to her as if he were making a small report:

"Noah just drew Mr. Jack's nude, and deliberately exaggerated the size."

“？！”

Noah's smile froze.

"Noah?"

Floy, who was about to leave, stopped, turned slowly, and "stared" at him with a blank face.

"Miss Floy, I don't have ...... If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Alex. ”

Noah turned his head in some panic and pointed to his side.

But he suddenly found that Alex had long since disappeared, and the cow had also taken the big white cat and the little hedgehog to roll and play on the lawn not far away.

“……”

Noah had no choice but to honestly hand over the hidden painting.

Floy took it with a straight face, and said in an unhappy tone:

"It's not allowed to be like this again!"

"Got it, Miss Floy."

Noah replied with a dejected head.

But he thought in his heart, next time he would secretly draw in the room, Antonio and Mr. Alex are too unreliable.

Chen Lun was in the living room, inspecting the "new products" sent by Maggie and Connie.

The two ladies sat on the sofa at the other end of the coffee table, chatting and drinking tea, but they were paying most of their attention to Mr. Jack's expression, expecting his reaction.

At this time, Chen Lun suddenly looked up and saw Floy holding a painting in her arms, and went upstairs angrily.

"What's wrong with Miss Floy?"

Connie noticed Mr. Jack's gaze, followed the line of sight, and asked in some surprise.

Maggie looked back and smiled.

"It must have been Noah again who painted the nude painting of the head of the regiment and was caught by Floy."

Connie remembered something, and her cheeks flushed and she was silent.

Chen Lun was speechless for a while and coughed twice.

"Maggie, this optimized version of the 'Tranquilizer' and the 'Thirst Elixir' are both very good, and they are several times stronger than the original version...... What about their cost and yield? ”

He immediately changed the subject, drawing the attention of the two ladies back.

Speaking of the potion she had concocted, Maggie immediately became interested, and she excitedly introduced to the head of the group how ups and downs the research and development process of the potion was, as well as her many whimsical ideas, until Chen Lun interrupted her and asked her to talk about the main point.

"Oooh...... The cost is not high, only three or four more extraordinary materials than the previous formula, and it costs about 60 gold pounds to make a 'spirit companion shuangshuang', while the 'Fierce Bull Helper Bang' costs 45 gold pounds. ”

Maggie said solemnly.

"The yield is okay, with the [Skilled Beaker] you gave me, Captain, I don't need to worry much...... It works on its own. ”

Chen Lun selectively ignored Maggie's name for the potion, and nodded secretly, very satisfied with the result.

He took out a thousand gold pounds, handed them to Maggie, and instructed her to concoct as many "powerful tranquilizers" and "powerful thirst potions" as possible according to such standards.

Although Maggie was a little unhappy that the head of the group did not adopt her own name, she still had a grin on her face for the sake of the research fund.

"Connie, I've tried this new model of flintlock pistol, and the power, range, and accuracy are much better than the original version, and it's ready for mass production......"

Chen Lun then picked up a flintlock pistol about one meter four long and weighing about seven or eight catties, and said.

This gun is called [Connie II], the barrel and body are made of alloy, the butt and handle are made of wood, the style is more retro and simple, and the ammunition capacity has been increased to ten rounds.

"Excellent weapon, Connie, you're doing a good job."

Chen Lun stroked the heavy texture of the gun, praised it, and also gave a thousand gold pounds of funds.

"Thank you, Mr. Jack, and I'll be fully engaged in the rest of my work...... With the help of the Sombra Puppet, the efficiency will be very high. ”

Connie said happily.

Chen Lun nodded.

At this time, he noticed that in the area of the Wonderland lakeside hut, there were players interacting with the statue of Jack, so he glanced at it casually.

"Huh?"

He was a little curious.

Chen Lun noticed that Polaris, Dongyang, Chenxi and the others were looking solemn, while the rest of the people were sad, and the atmosphere was very depressing, as if they had encountered some thorny problems.

Chen Lun first instructed Maggie and Connie to let them get busy first, and then lay quietly on the sofa by himself, sinking his mind into the fairyland, secretly observing this group of high-level players.

"The shop catalog is still those equipment items, and it hasn't been updated......"

Su Keying said with some disappointment.

"What should we do now, our mission seems to be really stuck."

"Think of another way, people can't be suffocated by urine."

Dongyang shook his head and said in a deep voice.

The rest of the people exchanged a few more words and made some suggestions, but none of them were of substantial help, and the dull atmosphere became more and more intense.

'Polaris, they're involved in the official Red Disaster mission?' Transcendental Alliance......'

Chen Lun "secretly peeped at the screen", overheard the dialogue of the players, and probably knew the dilemma they were facing at this time.

I remember that in the previous life version 1.0, most of the way players participated in the main story was through alliances, and no matter what faction they were in, they would follow the NPCs of their own camp to participate in the battle...... However, players generally don't go head-to-head with the high-end forces of both sides, and only do some support work or help clean up miscellaneous troops. ’

He didn't expect that Polaris, a high-level group, would be arranged to the front, asking to contain and kill the three mid-sequence priests.

This task is clearly far beyond their capabilities.

It shouldn't be like this, could it be that they are members of the circus? So being looked up to by the asylum...... Or is it because everyone has 1 regional singing degree, misleading the judgment of the Transcendent Alliance leader? ’

Chen Lun secretly guessed.

He finally thought about it and decided to give the group of players a hand.

The first is to borrow their hands to better spread the reputation of the circus, and the second is to continue to increase their importance to them, so as to increase the player's sense of belonging to the circus.

The third is that Chen Lun is going to do an experiment with these players, an experiment on snake parasitism.

"It's a pity that Maggie's new potion and Connie's new weapon have just been put into mass production, otherwise I would have taken this opportunity to update the store catalog......

Chen Lun summoned the panel and performed some operations on it.

In the area of the lakeside hut in Wonderland, Su Keying suddenly discovered something and hurriedly shouted to her teammates.

"Two more items in the store catalog! Look! ”

"Huh?!"

Polaris, Dongyang, Chenxi and others suddenly stopped communicating, triggered interactions, and looked at the circus's store catalog.

"Baptism of fate?!"

"What is this?"

Polaris and Dongyang and the others looked at each other.

"It feels like a high-class ......"

They quickly checked the details, which described-

[Baptism of Fate: Mr. Jakespet, the head of the circus, personally planted the "Pale Mark" for the members, so as to obtain a part of Jack's power, and the specific abilities are as follows:]

[1. Pale Messenger.] The serpent messengers born from the sigil can not only convey messages for the baptists, but also help the baptists fight. 】

[2. Substitute injury. It can consume the lives of snakes and take damage for the baptist. 】

[3. Decline and death. It consumes all of the snakes' lives at once, causing the Couriers to religiously and willingly go to destruction, unleashing powerful explosions of corruption. (Warning: Once decayed, the process of corruption is irreversible, and there is no distinction between friend and foe, and the "pale mark" will be completely erased, and the baptism must be completed again!) ）】

[Exchange price: 500 gold pounds or 500 contribution points.] 】

"Blanch!"

Doghead Jin couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

And Polaris, Dongyang, Chenxi and others also took a breath.

"This is equivalent to the highest level of miracles in the church, right......?!"
