Chapter 608: 412 Chapter 608: 412 Chen Lun and Antonio followed Golov and the others to a high-end hotel.
Once they arrived at the large room on the second floor, it was Connie who opened the door.
“Mr. Jack!”
She greeted him with great joy, lifting her skirt as she did so.
Floey stood beside her, revealing a joyous smile to Chen Lun and softly said,
“You’re back.”
“Yeah.”
Chen Lun nodded and was surrounded by everyone as they entered the room.
Alec sat on the windowsill, playing the harmonica. Seeing Chen Lun co in, he simply turned his head to nod slightly and waved his hand as a greeting. Chen Lun rolled his eyes and said nothing.
“How did it go?”
Floey asked with concern.
“It’s all taken care of… On our way, we t a high-ranking mber of the Naturalist Sect who values Noah’s artistic talent and has decided to take him as a student. Now Noah is traveling with Her and will join us in the Royal City after a while.”
Chen Lun sat on the sofa, and Connie tily brought over so hot tea.
After thanking her, he proceeded to explain to everyone.
“It seems like Noah has also t a benefactor… I believe the high-ranking Naturalist you ntioned will teach him more than just painting.”
At that mont, Maggie erged from the bedroom.
She ruffled her ssy hair and chuckled.
“Just like Mr. Akebin, he doesn’t just teach about Sequence knowledge but also shared a lot of experiences from the Mystic Realm.”
“You’re right, Maggie.”
Chen Lun nodded in agreent.
In fact, he also hoped the Saintess Lutina would share so mystic insights with Noah, which would allow him to grow quickly.
“By the way, Leader, I have so results regarding the task you assigned .”
Maggie took out a pale white reagent bottle from her potion belt and handed it to Chen Lun.
“After nurous trials, this formula has the best effect so far… I used ‘Fog Pearl’ and ‘Wisdom Dust’ as the main ingredients and added four or five other extraordinary substances as secondary materials… Hmm, I’ve given it a resounding na, ‘Pearl Maiden Glamour’!”
Chen Lun coughed once, selectively ignoring Maggie’s naming sense.
But seeing her excited and expectant look for validation, Chen Lun inwardly sighed and on the surface, he smiled and nodded.
“Good job, Maggie. You truly are a genius in potion studies!”
“Hehe, it’s nothing, Leader.”
Maggie, with her hands on her hips, was very satisfied.
‘Anyway, when it’s ti to sell these potions or give them away as gifts, the na can still be changed at the last mont; for now, let Maggie enjoy her mont.’
Chen Lun thought.
He looked down at the potion, and a prompt box appeared on the panel, telling him that the effects of the potion could permanently increase Charm and Intelligence by 6 points each, as well as delay the aging of the appearance, but no more than three doses could be taken, and any more would have no effect.
Chen Lun was quite surprised.
Compared to ordinary Fog Pearls, the Charm improvent effect of the potion was slightly enhanced, and it also added an Intelligence bonus. One potion could increase 12 points of Attributes; by such calculation, each person could gain 36 points of Attributes through the potion, which was quite powerful!
“However, Leader, if you’ve already used a ‘Fog Pearl,’ then this potion will no longer have any effect,”
Maggie suddenly added.
Chen Lun was slightly startled, recalled he had given Maggie Floy and Connie and the other ladies three Fog Pearls each. Did that an they couldn’t use the potion anymore?
“We haven’t taken the pearls.”
Floey seed to sense Chen Lun’s thoughts and explained.
“Worrying about wasting your materials, I had Maggie try to develop the potion first… If there were any leftovers, we’d use the pearls.”
“So that ans, you can still take the potion.”
Chen Lun was very pleased to hear Floey’s words.
“I’m sorry for almost letting you miss out on a better improvent opportunity, and thanks for thinking about saving materials for , Floey,”
he said with a smile.
Floey responded with a smile and gently shook her head.
Afterward, Maggie went back to the bedroom to retrieve all the prepared potions, totaling sixty-eight bottles. This was the outco of using nearly all the Fog Pearls and all of the Wisdom Dust.
“There were originally over a hundred and sixty Fog Pearls, but now only twenty-two remain,”
Maggie reported as she handed the items to Chen Lun.
“You’ve worked hard, Maggie.”
Chen Lun nodded.
Then, he took a small portion of the neatly arranged potions from the box and said to Floey,
“Here, these twenty-seven potions are for your use. Each team mber takes three to maximize the potency… Since Noah can’t co back for now, you hold onto his share.”
“Ok.”
Floey took them understandingly and then stood up to distribute them to each mber.
Maggie and Connie were very happy to receive the potion, as it was a valuable potion that increased Charm and delayed aging, irresistible for girls. As the developer of the potion, Maggie knew its effects better than anyone, and it was very powerful!
Golov, his companions, and Antonio showed no particular reaction; they were more appreciative of Jack’s generosity and the respect of being treated fairly.
Alec, however, was extrely excited. He was even more expectant than the three ladies and was the first to uncork a bottle and drink the potion, then he whistled and rushed into the washroom to look in the mirror.
Everyone could still faintly hear his soliloquy coming from inside:
“I really did get more handso! Oh! The great bard Alec has evolved from being handso to being an absolute stunner! This is just fantastic! I wonder how many noble ladies will be enchanted by !”
Chen Lun rolled his eyes secretly.
It seed that with the help of the potion, all mbers of the circus’s executive team would step up a notch in charm, and although not everyone may beco devastatingly beautiful… Having good-looking guys and pretty girls would still be an understatent; if this were his past life, they could have been pulled out to sign with a company and debut with no issue.
Circus Troupe?
The na’s a bit tacky, but making it big after a couple of years of training shouldn’t be a problem.
After his complaints, Chen Lun also drank three “Youth Preserving Potions,” and his panel instantly increased by 36 points in attributes.
His already high Charm Value of 50 points broke through once again, reaching 68 points, and his Intelligence beca the highest of the four basic attributes at 196 points!
“Mr. Jack, you now look really…”
Connie suddenly stared at Chen Lun, stamring as she spoke.
“Hmm?”
Chen Lun was puzzled.
“You look really good…”
Connie whispered with a blush on her face.
Suddenly thinking of sothing, she quickly looked towards Floey, who rely smiled without saying anything. Connie breathed a sigh of relief and imdiately explained:
“Mr. Jack, I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I feel like your appearance and temperant have changed again… You were already good-looking, but now you’ve beco even more attractive. It’s not just plain handsoness and beauty, it’s… it’s a near-perfect feeling.”
“Connie’s not wrong, I feel it too… Even though I know you’re the Leader, I still want to take a longer look, even, cough… never mind.”
Maggie said, then suddenly felt a warning gaze upon her and imdiately stopped speaking.
Chen Lun shook his head and chuckled as he looked at everyone who had just finished their potions.
“You all have beco more charming as well.”
They looked at each other with surprise in their eyes, as though their companions who they’d been with day and night had all changed their appearances… There were constant exclamations, admiration, and chatting, with smiles spreading across their faces.
However you looked at it, they were all more pleasing to the eye now, which was a good thing.
Chen Lun then glanced at Floey, who hadn’t changed much, because she was already very beautiful… just that her features seed even more delicate and her skin even whiter and smoother.
Her pale golden hair was incredibly soft, and her purple eyes were as exquisite as works of art.
Glancing at each other, they both saw appreciation in the other’s eyes.
“Let’s stay for another day, and we’ll set off for the Royal City tomorrow.”
Chen Lun ordered.
“Yes, Mr. Jack.”
“Yes, Leader.”
The circus mbers answered one after another.

Late at night.
Chen Lun stayed in his room, checking the carton of cigarettes Fleurette had given him.
After counting, there were a total of one thousand three hundred and twenty hand-rolled cigarettes.
‘Hmm? What’s this?’
In a corner of the cigarette box’s space, there was a crumpled piece of paper.
He took it out, thinking at first it was just scrap paper left behind by Fleurette, but upon unfolding it, he realized it seed to be an ancient love letter.
The content was expressed in the form of poetry.
Chen Lun wasn’t surprised by this, as people in this world, in this era, preferred to convey love through poetry. But what surprised him was the beauty and neatness of the poem—with a skill level that was at least seven Carns.
And in the signature, it was signed “Clarence”!
Chen Lun looked it over several tis, confirming that the love letter was indeed written by “God of the Murals” Clarence and felt extrely perplexed.
‘Ms. Fleurette is so popular? Not only does the student Carn have a crush on her, but Clarence had also pursued her in the past?’
He felt like he had stumbled upon sothing big.
Even for him, who wasn’t fond of gossip, there was now a tinge of curiosity.
‘However, at the end of the love letter, Clarence also ntioned Mr. Jing Yao… He and Ms. Fleurette both seed to be following the God of Magic.’
Chen Lun took a deep breath, flattened the crumpled love letter, and then cast the magic “Restoration” on it… The next second, it returned to its brand new state of paper.
After securing it, he suddenly thought of sothing and broke out in cold sweat.
‘Wait a minute… if Ms. Fleurette knows this love letter is in my hands, wouldn’t she co after ?’
Chen Lun thought for a mont.
‘No, that shouldn’t happen… Given how it was crumpled up and discarded like trash, Ms. Fleurette seems to have no regard for Clarence’s pursuit, so she most likely doesn’t care about this matter.’
After thinking it over, he felt that this thing was sowhat hot to handle, so he planned to burn it… If Ms. Fleurette asked about it, he would simply deny any knowledge, insisting he had never seen or heard of it.
But as the fla burst forth at his fingertips, he hesitated.
In the end, Chen Lun still put it away, hiding it in the deepest part of the Blood Poem Ring.
‘This is black material on the God of the Murals, it might co in handy soday… Alright, I have burned it, it’s not on anymore.’
He hypnotized himself three tis, then imdiately fell fast asleep.
