Chapter 452: Rewards
Half an hour later.
Polaris and the others were finally in the open space of the barracks, and when they saw Jack walking out of the tent at the headquarters, they hurriedly greeted him.
"Mr. Jack."
"You've been waiting here for a long time, haven't you?"
Chen Lun saw more than a dozen people surrounding in front of him, and said with a smile.
With his silver cane, he pointed to a tent not far away, which was his personal resting place.
"Come tell me something."
Dongyang and the others opened their mouths, immediately closed them, and obediently followed behind Jack and walked into the big tent together.
Although the rain had soaked the ground around us, the tent was clean and fresh, with soft red and white blankets on the floor, and a few folding chairs arranged casually in the tent around a conference table.
Chen Lun saw that the folding chairs in the tent didn't seem to be enough, so he picked up the silver cane and pointed at random, and some small teacups placed on the table instantly made a bang, turning into various "fat cats" in the white mist, they were lifelike, but motionless, like sculptures, following Chen Lun's guidance, floating up and flying to the carpet, acting as a bench.
"Sit down."
He said to the crowd.
Dongyang and the others seemed to have long been accustomed to Mr. Jack's various magical methods, and after saluting respectfully, they naturally sat on the backs of those "fat cats".
However, among the players in this group, there are a few new faces, who sit down and stroke the cat's back under the butt in some surprise, and the soft and real touch of the hair makes them feel amazing...... Mr. Jack's sequence ability can turn a teacup into a cat?
Chen Lun took off his top hat and placed it on the table, first looking at the three new faces in the player.
The other party is also a circus player, but he has never met Chen Lun before, and this time he came with Dongyang and others because they also achieved the top ten rankings in the "extra mission".
'Pumpkins, claw hammers, and the invincible Charizard...... I don't really have an impression of these three players. β
Chen Lun thought to himself and said:
"I've seen your performances in the bridgehead, and you've done a great job."
"You've overdone it, Mr. Jack."
Dongyang represented everyone and bowed his head slightly.
"Excessive modesty is in fact extreme arrogance, warriors of a foreign land."
Chen Lun is now learning and using it, and directly tells the players what General Vance said to him here. Combined with his indifferent face and eyes that seemed to be smiling, it gave more than a dozen high-level players a feeling of being seen through.
"Alright...... Since you are the best Warrior in a foreign land, I will naturally keep my promise and give you the reward you deserve. β
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and something appeared on the table.
Immediately, Chen Lun distributed rewards one by one according to the top ten players. Among them, the points of Tail Yin, Su Keying, Dragon King, Bald, Kucha Nana and Crazy Ben are not enough to rank in the top ten, and they can only look at others with regret and envy.
For the basic reward of "Sequence 8 Extraordinary Knowledge", all ten players invariably chose the fate system [Fortune Teller]...... The reason is simple, both Jack and Polaris have shown players the power of the Destiny Transcendent, perhaps most of which is due to Jack's own peculiarity, but this does not prevent them from feeling that the knowledge of Destiny is the most precious.
As for whether this knowledge can be used or not, it is secondary, and no matter how bad it is, it can be sold to the black market in exchange for enough monetary returns.
Even though the game has reached version 2.0 now, and the exchange ratio of real-life credits and copper crowe has been reduced to 1:10, this knowledge can be sold for at least 1,000 gold pounds, which is 1 million credits.
The third place is Dongyang, in addition to his extraordinary knowledge, he will also receive a [C-rank trickery]. Chen Lun deliberately selected a palm-sized quaint copper kettle from Floy's work, called [Scorching Dance Partner], which can pour flammable oil and increase the power of the flame, whether it is smeared on fists or weapons, or even soaked bullets or set traps, it can play a very good role.
On top of that, it's inexhaustible, and it fills up on its own every seventy-two hours, enough to become Dongyang's core equipment.
"Thank you, Mr. Jack."
Dongyang took the copper kettle, rubbing the ancient pattern on it with his hand, he tried to pour out a little bit and dip it on his index finger, and immediately released his sequence ability, and the next second, a bright flame bloomed, and everyone in the tent could feel the blazing air waves rushing towards them.
When the flames were extinguished, everyone cast envious glances.
Dongyang suddenly felt a little dry mouth, and his palms were white and peeling, he understood that this was the price of this strange thing, which would draw water from his body according to the amount used, and once it was excessive, it would even drain his blood.
"Let's have some tea."
Chen Lun moved his fingers slightly with a smile on his face, and the teapot on the table flew up on its own, pouring a cup of warm tea into the cup, and then the teacup floated in front of Dongyang.
The latter hurriedly thanked him, took the cup and drank some water.
The player who ranked second in the points was a little unexpected by Chen Lun, it was the "pumpkin" among the three raw faces, this is a girl with short hair, as petite as the tail note, but she walks the path of flesh and blood.
It is hard for Chen Lun to imagine what kind of scene such a cute girl will be when she releases the sequence ability of [Butcher] to make a man "freeze".
According to his own custom reward rules, he gave the Pumpkin Girl a Sequence Eight Extraordinary Knowledge, a decent trickery, and a letter of support from a circus cadre.
Regarding the letter of support, he also asked the other party for his opinion very kindly:
"Which cadre's letter do you want?"
"Antonio."
Pumpkin looked up and said without hesitation.
She seemed to be prepared for a big smile.
"Captain, I want a letter of support from Antonio!"
I don't know if it's because of the pleasing appearance of the cow, or if she knows that Anton's combat power is amazing, so she chose this cadre who was parasitized by the [Super A-level Trickery-Desecration Holy Sword].
"Well, no problem."
Even with a fountain pen, Chen Lunxuan left the name "Antonio" on the envelope and stamped his own seal.
As he handed the letter over, he smiled and said:
"Anton is learning human language, and may not be able to read all the letters, but he understands the meaning of the letters...... Please use the letter properly. β
"I know, Captain."
Pumpkin, who learned the imperial etiquette out of nowhere, bent down at Chen Lun and patted his left chest.
After distributing her reward, Chen Lun finally turned his head to look at Polaris, his face relieved.
"You didn't let me down, Polaris."
"Teacher."
Polaris took a deep breath and lowered his head.
Only his slightly clenched fists told everyone that he was very excited at the moment.
Chen Lun gave him extraordinary knowledge as usual, and at the same time asked the candidate for the support letter, Polaris thought for a few seconds, and slowly replied:
"I want Noah to ...... first Ahem, Noah's letter of support. β
Halfway through his speech, he remembered the previous two times when his favorability was deducted for calling him sir, and he reflexively changed his words.
Chen Lun seemed to know about this, he glanced at Polaris meaningfully, and casually reminded:
"Noah has a sweet tooth, you can prepare some delicate sweets for him, I think he will be very happy then...... That way, when you ask him for help, he'll be more willing. β
Noah's favor towards Polaris has dropped to indifference, which will obviously affect the effect of the support letter, and Chen Lun's hint suddenly made Polaris overjoyed.
Polaris has been reminiscing about the exhilarating thrill of battle since the last time he received Noah's assistance, but it is a pity that Dongyang and the others are "too low" and it is difficult to cooperate with them tacitly...... At the same time, he is also annoyed that he has offended Noah twice in a row, and he doesn't know how to make up for his favor, and now he finally gets an answer from the teacher.
"However, Noah is out for some time and will not return for a while...... Therefore, this letter of support is not available at this time. β
Chen Lun handed the letter to Polaris and said slowly.
"I see, teacher."
Polaris nodded, carefully tucking the letter into the lining pocket of his jacket.
Chen Lun then took out a small hand crossbow, which was made of wood and covered with tooth-like lines, and was painted with blood-red paint above the handle and the crossbow.
"It was one of my previous weapons and has accompanied me through many difficult roads......"
Chen Lun gently stroked the crossbow in his hand, his eyes revealing reminiscence.
"I used it to hunt down a bishop of the Red Apple Church."
Polaris couldn't help but think of the first time he met his teacher, the other party was also playing with a horn musket, showing such an expression, saying something similar, but at that time the other party said most of it was just a joke.
And this time, Polaris knows that the teacher didn't lie to him.
He turned his head to look at Su Keying, and both of them looked at each other and smiled.
It was with this crossbow that the teacher once fought against the Newman bishop in the courtyard of the Red Apple Church in Amber City, and finally cut off the other party's head.
"Now I'll give it to you, Polaris."
Chen Lun retracted his gaze, smiled and handed over the crossbow.
Polaris took it with a slight tremor in his hands.
"Thank you, teacher."
Dongyang and the others next to him watched this scene intently, to be precise, staring at the crossbow in Polaris' hand.
In the next second, a kotou Jin's statement appeared in the chat channel:
"-Lao Bei, send the information out and take a look, so that we can also rise in the world."
"βyes,! This is Jack's former weapon, it must not be bad, right? β
The Dragon King chimed in.
Subsequently, Dongyang, Chenxi, Honey Yuzu and others, and even the newcomer Pumpkin also participated in the exchange, expressing their curiosity about the crossbow and hoping that Polaris could share a screenshot of its panel.
Polaris was not stingy and sent it out directly.
After a while, the chat room exploded.
- [C-Class Monster - Tongue of Gluttony]...... Blanch, not only does this thing not need to replenish ammunition, but the crossbow bolts it shoots still deduct the maximum health?! β
Kotou Kim was shocked.
- Hahaha...... Brother Gouzi, you couldn't beat Brother Beizi in the first place, and now you are even more restrained! (Melon eating emoji)"
The Dragon King gloated.
"-Yes, this crossbow makes up for your shortcomings, North."
Dongyang saw at a glance that this strange object was very suitable for the North Star.
Everyone agreed.
Polaris has a strong melee ability because he learned Jack's exclusive skill [Animal Imitation] and memorized and preserved the biological characteristics of crocodiles and antelopes, but he lacks the means of long-range attacks, and now the appearance of [Tongue of Gluttony] makes up for this very well.
At the same time, Polaris is a little powerless against the tenacious "blood cow" enemy, and it is very inconvenient to prolong the battle time and slowly grind the opponent to death.
And [Gluttonous Tongue] can restrain such opponents very well!
"The teacher understands me very well......"
Polaris suddenly had such an idea for some reason.
He looked up at the teacher, who was smiling and had deep eyes.
The group chatted in the channel for a while, and then turned their attention to Jack, who was looking forward to the final reward of the North Star.
Skill Transfer!
Originally, Polaris was just an ordinary fate player, but he was the first player to learn his exclusive skill [Animal Imitation] from Jack, and since then, the concept of "fate is strong" has gradually been imprinted into the minds of players.
"After you are promoted to [Magician], you should have comprehended the ability of this sequence [Magic Trick] without a teacher......"
Chen Lun said softly.
Polaris nodded, indicating that it was.
After he completed the promotion task just now, he immediately added the stored skill points to the [Magic Trick], upgraded it to the full level, and obtained four different magic tricks.
"Teacher, I've mastered 'levitation', 'body separation', 'damage transfer', and 'cage escape'."
Polaris truthfully informed the teacher of his situation.
Chen Lun only bowed his head lightly on the surface, but muttered again in his heart.
While this is in line with the law of transcendent asymmetry, Polaris is far from what I was promoted at the time...... I had eight magic tricks, but Polaris only had four, missing the three advanced magic tricks of 'Great Transformation', 'Item Restoration', and 'Five Senses', as well as the most basic 'Card Throwing Knife' magic. β
He pretended to mutter, and then said to Polaris:
"In that case, I'll give you a choice."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved.
Polaris finds himself in a pop-up on his panel, where his teacher, Jack, is teaching him skills, but he needs to choose one of the three skills.
They are [Biles Swift Sword], [Magic Trick (Big Change)], and [Magic Trick (Card Throwing Knife)].
Polaris clicked on the panel with his mind, carefully scanning the skill description, and soon he was shocked by these three skills, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
To be honest, he was quite eager to have them all, but the fact that he could only choose one of them made him very entangled and reluctant.
"Teacher...... Do you have any suggestions? β
Polaris suddenly raised his head and spoke cautiously.
Chen Lun glanced at him with a smile, although he knew that he was playing clever, but he didn't break it, but patiently explained:
"[Biles Swift Sword] can be said to be an advanced ability of [Knight Swordsmanship], it allows you to suppress your opponent at medium and short distances, and the sword wind that slashes out also has the power to damage the soul...... The other two magic tricks are also very valuable, and the 'Great Transformation' can even greatly increase the maximum of [Magician's] abilities. β
Listening to the teacher's words, Polaris fell into deep thought.
After a while, he took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind.
"Teacher, I choose the magic trick 'Big Change'!"
Polaris knew that the teacher could teleport, and through careful observation and inference, he finally came to a conclusion...... This magic trick will be the cornerstone of subsequent development!
If you want to be as powerful as a teacher, this magic trick is essential!
"You're smart, Polaris."
Chen Lun nodded with satisfaction and praised it.
Isn't this another test?
Polaris suddenly realized, and clenched his fists even tighter with joy and excitement.
Soon, he saw the teacher rubbing his chin again and whispered:
"But as a magician, playing cards are the basics, and if you don't know this, it's a shame for me...... Well, 'Solitaire Throwing Knife' will also teach you by the way. β
βοΌοΌβ
Polaris' eyes widened.
A strong surprise burst from his heart, and he barely jumped up and shouted "Long live the teacher".
And the people around him had questioning faces.
This......
Even if Polaris is a student of Jack, the eccentricity is not biased, right?!
"Choose one of three" has become "pick one get one free"?!
Hey, hey! How can they live?!
Kotoujin even twisted his face to the side, as if he couldn't pull out after eating six lemons in a row.
When the dragon king saw him, he couldn't help but sigh in the channel:
"βJealousy will eventually make people unrecognizable."
Soon, his face was also huddled, and he added:
"-Brother Beizi! I hate you!! β
