[Completed B-rank Mission: Misty Sea Specialty!] 】

[You help Captain Hayden repel the enemy, and get the mission reward: 7w experience points, 500 gold pounds, and Captain Hayden's friendship.] 】

[Captain Hayden's favorability towards you has increased!] Currently friendly! 】

'The task is settled...... Well, it was only asked to repel the enemy, and it was not said that the cargo was to be kept, so I took their mist pearls and it was not affected. ’

Chen Lun smiled slightly.

In his opinion, the reward for this task is not very rich, and 70,000 experience points is a drop in the bucket for now...... Even if the mission explicitly asked him to help Captain Hayden keep the cargo, he would have complied with it, after all, compared to the hundreds of "misty pearls", the experience was not worth mentioning.

Today's weather is good, and the temperature has picked up slightly.

The whole sea is the same color, and the blue vision is refreshing.

The Pearl Bamogo sails slowly on the sea, with a comfortable sea breeze blowing in its face.

Chen Lun and the circus walked on the deck, and saw that many gentlemen and ladies had recovered from the panic of last night, talking and laughing and enjoying the bright sunshine.

The deck had been cleaned by the sailors, the stumps and blood of the monsters were gone, and if it weren't for the large broken holes and the crooked metal railings, what had happened last night was like a collective hallucination.

Seeing Chen Lun's figure, many gentlemen and ladies saluted him.

"Good day, Father Jack."

These upper-class people know very well how noble Chen Lun's status is, not to mention that he saved everyone's lives last night. This respectful attitude comes from the heart.

"Good day."

Chen Lun pulled the brim of his hat and bowed his head slightly in response.

Not long after, Captain Hayden came to the deck with the first mate, summoned all the gentlemen, and apologized with a sad expression for the events of the previous night.

"The storm and the attack, which unexpectedly led to the death of four gentlemen and one lady, was not my wish, but it was also the responsibility of our Pearl Bamogo...... Therefore, after docking, I will contact the headquarters of Moses Voyage as soon as possible to compensate the family of the deceased. ”

Captain Hayden said.

He also recounted the general damage to the hull, saying that it can barely sail after emergency repairs, but it needs to be repaired for a week at the next port, and if there are passengers who are not willing to wait, they can disembark at that time and transfer to other ships.

Finally, he also thanked Chen Lun emphatically.

"Thanks to the help of Lord Archon Jack of the Council of Conduit, we were able to repel the evil and transcendent bandits...... Here, on behalf of all the crew of the Pearl Bamogo, I, Hayden, would like to express my sincere thanks and respect to Lord Jack. ”

Hayden took off his beret and led the crew to bow to Chen Lun.

The guards of Moses' voyage hidden in the crowd also bowed their heads with their chests and bows. They are half grateful, half awe of the strong.

Chen Lun didn't have a good impression of this kind of formalism, so he just nodded indifferently.

Captain Hayden said nothing about the casualties in the lower storehouse, but in fact the casualties of the ordinary passengers were extremely heavy, with more than fifty killed in the attack last night. But the Pearl Bamogo apparently did not pay attention to those low-level civilians, and even threw their bodies into the sea without collecting them.

These gentlemen and ladies who live in the upper class will not care about those people, let alone take the initiative to inquire, even if Captain Hayden tells them the truth, they will probably only use it as an after-dinner conversation.

The two sides are not people of the same world at all, and the indifferent attitude is certain.

Due to the damage to the ship's hull, the sailing speed was reduced, and the next port, which could have been reached in half a day, finally arrived in the evening of the next day.

The port here belongs to the city of Huabang Rongju and is called the port of Anastasia.

The Pearl Bamogo sailed directly into the shipyard of the dockyard in the harbor, where a handful of gentlemen and ladies disembarked and planned to change to other passenger ships to continue their departure.

Chen Lun was troublesome, so he planned to wait a few days with the team.

Taking advantage of the ship's maintenance, some guests got off the ship and went to Rongju City to play and purchase. Chen Lun also didn't want to restrict the freedom of his team members too much, telling them to move around as they pleased.

However, Floyin, Maggie, and Connie are not interested in anything, one prefers quiet and nights, and the other two are study and research freaks. On the men's side, Noah and Alex wanted to go out for a walk, so Chen Lun let the two of them go together.

Antonio doesn't like the urban environment, saying that he will sleep in the cabin, while the three Golovs have also stayed on the ship, having recently become obsessed with a card game popular in high society, preferring to play cards rather than hang out.

According to Golov's words, they can also respond to Chen Lun's orders in a timely manner, and if necessary, they can immediately execute them. Chen Lun was very pleased with this, and casually gave each person 100 gold pounds as "gambling money", so that they could have a good time on the boat.

Then, he disembarked alone and strolled from the port to the bustling area of the center of Rongju, just like a solo trip in his previous life, exploring the strange but interesting unknown.

Rongju City is very similar to Peacock City, because it is a port city, so seafood is more popular, even in the downtown restaurants, the signature dishes are almost all some kind of fish, shrimp and shellfish.

Most of the cities in the flower state have their iconic flowers, and the city is very popular as the name suggests...... Even though the weather is still cold at the beginning of February, the velvet chrysanthemums are open all year round, and many stores have pots of fluffy chrysanthemums of various colors placed in front of the storefronts.

After shopping for more than two hours and buying some local specialties, Chen Lun returned to the Pearl Bamogo, knocked on Floyin's cabin door, and gave the three ladies some baked snacks he bought on the way.

"Thank you, Mr. Jack!"

Connie said happily.

Maggie was already clutching a cupcake with her bare hands and swallowing it in one gulp, smashing her mouth, still shaking the reagent bottle in her hand.

Chen Lun smiled and shook his head.

"You're welcome, you guys have a good rest."

With that, he turned around and went back to his cabin, and after lying on the bed, he opened the game forum boredly.

Because the game has been suspended and updated, many players can only chat on the forum for comfort.

Compared with the past, the forum at this moment is particularly lively.

Chen Lun saw a lot of posts discussing the next version of the main story, and the most active of them was "Ordinary Operator...... This guy is keen to analyze all kinds of things, and of course he is indispensable in this matter.

However, there is one thing to say, his analysis is indeed well-founded and very convincing.

Chen Lun clicked on a post that had just been posted for less than an hour, but had more than 100,000 likes, and the top answer came from "ordinary operators":

According to the official preview given three hours ago, the upper limit of the next version of the level will be increased to level 80, and according to the main class level of the 1.0 version of the Sequence Nine Transcendentals, most of the players in the 2.0 version will be able to advance to the middle ......"

But the number of transcendent players is only less than one percent of all players, and even after the version is updated, those who can gather the Sequence Eight transcendent knowledge and advance in a short period of time are definitely a minority of the few...... The further back this situation goes, the more serious it gets, and eventually the player pyramid will only become more pronounced and solid. ”

In the next version, in order to allow players to adapt to such a large span of growth, then the corresponding plot and main events will definitely be arranged...... According to my analysis, version 1.0 is too short, and it feels a bit sloppy, and the game obviously doesn't explain it, but I'm sure they'll compensate for it in the next version. ”

So the main story of version 2.0 will only be grander than the 'Crimson Rite' turmoil caused by the Red Apple Church...... The clues and intelligence at hand now point to either a war between the Empire and the United Kingdom of Anlong to the west, or a colonial war across the Misty Sea to the east. ”

Chen Lun looked at the post and nodded secretly.

The analysis of ordinary operators, except for the main plot of version 2.0, is wrong, and the rest is roughly the same direction.

Version 2.0 has a level cap of 80, which is actually the level cap of the Sequence Seven Transcendents.

Even in the middle of the version, there will be a non-stop version 2.1 update, and the level cap will be raised again, directly reaching level 120 sequence six...... That is also the version of Chen Lun's previous life.

'Version 2.0 of the spiritual turmoil is about the influence of spiritual pollution sources on the present world, so the empire summoned the people in the wilderness to suppress it...... The war in the United Kingdom of Anlong was only a side line. ’

Chen Lun thought to himself.

But this is not to blame the ordinary operator, after all, his current level is too low, and it is normal not to know this information. ’

Immediately after, he read a few more popular posts and learned that the psychological state of the players is very impatient, very impatient...... Three days is too long for these players.

They are extremely eager to play online, and they only feel like they are living like years.

'Huh? This No. 1 video has changed...... Both the producer and uploader are Su Keying? ’

Chen Lun returned to the home page and noticed the leaderboard.

He looked with interest at the cover of the top-of-the-list video, and it was himself.

To be precise, it should be two of themselves.

On the left is a black-hatted gentleman, and on the right is a gray robe in the armor of the Archon.

There is also a string of headline text in the middle that straddles two images -

"Jack's upbringing: 4419 to 4420 in the solar calendar!"

Chen Lun saw that this video was uploaded for more than six hours, and the number of views directly exceeded 100 million and reached the top of the list. He clicked on the video with some curiosity, wanting to see how Su Keying praised herself.

As soon as the video is turned on, the screen is black.

The voiceover came Su Keying's narration lines:

"Viewers who click on this video, let me inform you first, this is a special video of popular science characters...... In fact, I hesitated a few times before starting to make it, because this kind of video is generally not liked by anyone, and it is thankless...... But in the end, it was the persuasion of my friends and companions that made me make up my mind. ”

The black screen gradually reveals several rows of bold red text.

"First of all, I would like to declare that all the material and information appearing in the video is collected and confirmed by me and my team, and is not fiction...... In addition, put an end to all steel bars, if there is any objection, you are the main one. ”

After the text disappears, a black-haired young man in a white shirt appears in the picture, sitting in front of a coffee table in contemplation.

Su Keying continued:

"NPC Jax Peter, from the closed beta to the end of the open beta 1.0 version...... Perhaps few people knew about him in the early days, but with the end of the Scarlet War, almost all players in Bangcheng City knew about this new high-ranking member of the Orthodox God Church...... Let me now tell you the story of Jakespet, the head of the circus and the consul of the Senate of the Senate......"

The screen returned to the closed beta.

Jewel Bang Emerald Town.

Su Keying and Polaris came to a wall and looked at the wanted notice on it. It was Chen Lun, who had slightly curly black hair, and the wanted amount at that time was only one hundred gold pounds, which was promulgated by the Red Apple Church.

"Jack's feud with the Red Apple Church comes from a long time ago, when he was an ordinary person, he was captured as a sacrifice by the Red Apple Church......"

The video explains Chen Lun's origin and growth in great detail, from a prisoner to the leader of the Transcendent Organization, and then joined the Murder Club, until he pushed the club to sit on the seat of the Orthodox Church, and his status rose to the top......

The barrage has been continuous, following Jack's growth and Su Keying's calm tone, feeling the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the protagonist of the story. Jack's story seems to have struck a lot of players with empathy, and they have become interested in the NPC as well.

"So Jack's past is like this, damn it, Red Apple Church!" "No wonder he hates the Red Plague so much, either hunting the Red Apple Church or on the way to hunt." "What a flesh-and-blood character, when the version update is over, I want to join him!" "It's that simple! The circus is where you can enter? ”

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

The barrage passed, and Su Keying's voice continued:

"I, along with many players such as Polaris, Dongyang, Chenxi, and Kotou Jin, were among the first players to join Jack's command...... We can tell you very bluntly that he is different from other NPCs because he has a unique charm that is hard not to love. ”

In the picture, the image of Noah carrying a painting bag appears and introduces himself shyly.

"Not only does the force he leads have many benefits, but also because he really takes care of our so-called 'undead strangers' as companions...... For example, when we are in a difficult situation, Jack will even send cadres to support us, which no other force can do! ”

Su Keying said.

The video screen turned to the Wonderland Lake Cottage.

The sky is blue and white clouds are drifting.

On the edge of the clear lake, there is a grapevine and a statue of Jack in front of a simple wooden house, and many players sit on the lawn and chat.

"This is the secret home of the circus, where we can teleport our minds to the area no matter where we are, interact with them at the right time, and pick up quests and exchange items...... Of course, this is also the location of Jack's exclusive dungeon, Wonderland! ”

The screen is full of barrages of surprise, obviously Su Keying's video surprised many people. However, the video ends here, and a line of big words appears at the end of the screen -

"The next preview, the exclusive copy of the circus Wonderland is revealed!"

Chen Lun noticed that the barrage was full of "blanching", he smiled and secretly praised himself, and immediately turned off the video. This popular science video gives players a deeper understanding of themselves and the circus, and it is also conducive to the next version to encourage more players to participate in their own work.

But then again, looking at the journey I have gone all the way, I feel a little emotional......

Chen Lun rubbed his chin and shook his head.
