Chapter 364: Chapter 242 Philip’s Adventures_2

“Indeed, with this kind of ‘Black Crystal Ammunition,’ we can save a lot of effort. For typical battles, firearms loaded with this ammunition would be more than sufficient,”
Polaris joined the discussion as well.
A few male players were more interested in the new equipnt. They glanced back at Su Keying and the others, only to find Chenxi and Honey Polo had also gone over to take photos with the statue.
Giggling, they seed to be chatting about sothing.
The n exchanged glances, each seeing the speechless expression on the others’ faces.

The following day.
Dongyang and others organized a group to visit Jack’s Manor.
Their “Token Upgrade” mission had already been successfully completed; yesterday, each person had t the requirent of “staying for 30 minutes in the lakeside cabin” for 10 people.
However, the upgrade of the Silver Serpent Ring still required Mr. Jack himself to finish it personally, so they had to make this trip.
Chen Lun received more than twenty players in the villa’s backyard.
He secretly checked the Sanity Value reserves of the Maggie Statue, and after yesterday’s full day of “extraction,” it had accumulated about 6,500 Sanity Points, far exceeding his own estimates.
To create a “Wake of Insects Seed” for every player here, considering the consumption rate of 100 points each, a total of over 2,000 Sanity Points would be needed. He would still have a substantial surplus, which ant a big gain for him.
Since Sanity Value was no longer an issue,
Chen Lun’s task now was to gradually upgrade the tokens of all the Circus players.
This was not a task that could be achieved overnight.
But he believed that once other players learned of the existence of the “lakeside cabin,” they would be eager to approach Dongyang and others to et the mission requirents and then eagerly co to Chen Lun for Token Upgrades.
‘In the future, when there are more players from the Circus, I just need to sit in the manor and I’ll be able to harvest Sanity Points every mont… The more active they are by the lakeside cabin, the happier I will be,’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
He took the Silver Serpent Rings from Dongyang and the others, then used the power of “Wake of Insects” right there to create new “Wake of Insects Seeds” and integrate them into the rings.
On the surface, he even put on a weary look.
Deep inside, however, he found himself picturing a comical scene: players wanting to enter the “lakeside cabin” but unable to squeeze in.
Because of the limit of 50 people, they would have to queue up.
‘It would be quite interesting if that were to happen, wouldn’t it…’ Chen Lun chuckled to himself.
A mont later,
he returned the upgraded Silver Serpent Rings to Dongyang and the others, taking off his hat with a wave of his hand.
Boom!
A puff of white smoke rose as he transford his black hat into a small hippopotamus that didn’t move.
Chen Lun sat down on the back of the little hippo, panting heavily, wiping sweat from his brow with a look of fatigue.
The other players were initially stunned by this display of magic, but they soon expressed their gratitude respectfully.
“Alright, the Circus tokens have been upgraded. Henceforth, everyone will be able to use them to communicate with other mbers and also to engage in real-ti activities at the ‘lakeside cabin’…”
Chen Lun waved his hand.
“Thank you, Mr. Jack.”
Dongyang took the lead in giving thanks.
Straightaway these players left with their newly upgraded Silver Serpent Rings, all except for Polaris, who stayed behind.
“What’s up, Polaris?” Chen Lun asked.
Polaris stepped forward and handed over a book.
“Teacher, I found this by chance yesterday… It’s a work by your enemy, ‘Tragedy Writer’ Howard.”
“Oh?”
Chen Lun took the book with so surprise.
As he looked down, his brows furrowed.
The book cover depicted a cartoon character, a common and popular heroic figure: a blond man clad in Armor, wielding a Sharp Sword, fighting a massive sea monster.
The book was titled “Philip’s Adventures”!
Chen Lun suppressed the strong impulse to flip through it imdiately, took a deep breath, and spoke first to Polaris:
“Where did you find this book?”
“Teacher, it’s a common children’s book found in bookstores, considered a fairy tale, very popular with kids…” Polaris answered honestly.
Chen Lun’s brows knit together.
‘I rember Howard has been listed by the Shelter on the ‘Empire’s S-Class Wanted List.’ Why is his book still in circulation in the market…? Could it be that His power, insidiously affecting the Mortals? Deceiving the Shelter’s Scout?’
He looked up and took out a “Hand of the Snake” scroll, smiling as he said:
“Polaris, well done. This book is very valuable… This is your reward, and furthermore, 50 Contribution Points.”
Surprise showed on Polaris’ face.
He promptly received a mission prompt on his panel, showing that a side quest “Investigation” was completed once, and the Circus Contribution Points were tily credited to his panel as well.
“Thank you, teacher!”
After accepting the “Hand of the Snake” scroll, he thanked his teacher with a bow.
“Alright, if you co across any more clues about Him, make sure to inform … You may go back now,” Chen Lun waved his hand
.
Seeing that, Polaris said no more, thanked him obediently, and turned to leave.
Left alone in the courtyard, Chen Lun flipped through the “Philip’s Adventures” in his hands.
Perhaps because it was “children’s literature,” the text was in large print, and each page was accompanied by cute cartoon illustrations.
The story was not long, roughly telling the tale of a hero nad “Philip” who, in order to save the world, apprenticed himself to learn skills, journeyed around the world, and slew monsters.
Chen Lun’s attention was drawn to two aspects of the story: one, the world in the story faced its greatest threat from the “Dark World,” existing deep underground, filled with terrifying monsters.
