Chapter 200: Chapter 166: The Shock of Two High-Level Players (Three in One) _4
“`plaintext
Gan Ziwen and Honey Fool caught their breath.
They caught a glimpse of the Black ssenger’s face, where under the twisted black mist, there seed to hide a pair of bloodthirsty eyes, sending shivers down one’s spine.
They lowered their heads, avoiding direct eye contact.
“What the hell? He actually knows we’re scouting!”
“I looked it up before, and it seems if an NPC’s Insight is high enough, they can sense when players are scouting… It’s also possible our levels are vastly different.”
“I think it’s both. (bitter smile emoji)”
“Sorry sir, we were rash… We apologize to you.”
Gan Ziwen stood up and respectfully bowed to Chen Lun, hand on chest.
Chen Lun couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.
“Destiny has guided to find the two of you…”
He crossed his hands and placed them on the table, his unseen “gaze” staring directly at the two players across from him.
“Among the outsiders, you two stand out, having entered the Mystic Realm and ascended to Transcendents…”
Chen Lun extended his index finger, pointing gently at them.
“One following the path of the Deep Sea Faction, and the other embarking on a journey with the Magic Faction, very impressive.”
Gan Ziwen and Honey Fool dared not speak, sitting ramrod straight, secretly astonished.
They felt as if all their information was laid bare before the other, with no secrets left.
“The two of you are very special, and it is this uniqueness that compels to give you a little preferential treatnt…”
Chen Lun finished speaking and secretly swiped on his panel.
Gan Ziwen and Honey Fool saw the man in the black top hat in front of them suddenly pop up with a shiny exclamation mark above his head!
Focusing on it, another dialogue box popped up—
[Exchange]!
They couldn’t help but feel their hearts leap, silently exchanging a glance.
“—Mysterious rchant?!”
“—This is a secret rchant!”
The two ssaged each other in unison.
Then, they were slightly taken aback, feeling a certain tacit understanding between them.
Gan Ziwen was the first to click on [Exchange], and the product catalog that popped up next made his eyes shine.
Although he had beco a Transcendent, he wanted every single item listed, especially the two types of bombs and a ticket called “Wonderland Admission Ticket.”
“The bombs can be used as a powerful last resort, and that ‘admission ticket’ is definitely a high-level dungeon pass!” Gan Ziwen thought to himself.
The store catalog that Chen Lun showed these two was naturally different from that shown to newbies. He needed to use so of his best items to hook them firmly.
Honey Fool also opened the exchange list and saw many powerful weapons and items, causing her to take a deep breath.
The first thing the two did was to screenshot the view in front of them.
Click!
The train clattered along, the landscape flashing past a window.
The wind blew in, lifting the collar of the man in the black top hat at the table. He sat quietly, his face shrouded in a mist of black, his features indistinct.
On the other side, the exchange box was very clear, displaying an array of items and their required prices.
Gan Ziwen sent the screenshot directly to his guild leader “Naless,” then added “Boss, send money!” and also shared it in the guild channel with “Brothers, send money!”
Honey Fool, on the other hand, shared the screenshot directly in the guild channel with “Oh my god! t Jack on the train! He’s giving benefits!” “Ladies help! Can’t afford it! Too expensive!”
“—Wow, Ziwen! Random midway encounter?!” responded “Naless,” the guild leader of Lost Na Guild, to the ssage.
“—Sought out by the other side… It’s probably a beta tester’s benefit for ascending to Transcendent, as Honey Fool is also right there.”
Gan Ziwen sent the ssage.
“—Alright, I’ll talk to the guild brothers and gather so money… if that’s not enough, I’ll find a sponsor, this investnt is nothing, I’ll definitely get your matter settled! You’re making us proud! (praise emoji)”
Naless ssaged back.
Having seen this, Gan Ziwen felt a huge weight off his chest.
On Honey Fool’s side, however, eye rolls were ceaseless.
Her screenshot and comnts were like a bomb thrown into a lake, stirring up countless splashes. Even mbers who typically lurked ca out of hiding.
“Honey Fool sis! Can you get an autograph?”
“ first, get one!”
“Wow! How dare you get so close to my idol! Honey Fool, let’s settle this with a death match!”
“Reaping the benefits and still playing coy, no money, nice try!”
“…”
Watching these comnts, Honey Fool felt like crying without tears, but fortunately, her guild leader “Chenxi” promptly sent her a private ssage with a simple “No problem.”
This allowed Honey Fool to calmly close the chat column.
Chen Lun silently watched their engrossed expressions, reading their thoughts.
‘Most likely gone to gather money…’
He nodded to himself and waited a while longer, estimating that they should have about enough ti, then he spoke:
“My ti is limited, so I won’t stay any longer…”
Gan Ziwen and Honey Fool were startled, and quickly took out their savings to purchase so items from him.
Gan Ziwen bought a Firearm called [Wrath], so ammunition, and a couple of Red and Yellow Potions. Honey Fool also bought a firearm and ammunition, but because she was short on funds, she passed on everything else.
Chen Lun was indifferent to this, continuing to speak:
“Lastly, I leave you with a challenge, hoping you won’t disappoint .”
Imdiately, both received a task prompt—
[Triggered D-Class Task: The Black ssenger’s Challenge!]
Task Description: Head to Amber City, find the Transcendent organization “Circus” without attracting the attention of the Shelter and the Church, and complete one of their assignnts.
Task Reward: Silver Serpent Ring (formal mber token of the Circus).
Gan Ziwen and Honey Fool both selected “Accept” without hesitation.
They had not anticipated that the purpose of their journey would be mostly accomplished halfway through… The Black ssenger, no, Jack was indeed too considerate!
In their field of vision, the man in the black top hat slowly stood up, then suddenly disappeared.
“!!”
They widened their eyes, clueless as to what had happened.
Chen Lun chuckled to himself, touched the black button on his sleeve, and walked past them without a trace.
