Chapter 109: The Shocking Five Players (please read it!)
"It's really possible..."
Chen Lun was secretly happy.
There was originally a characteristic memory grid left, but the [Hell Resistance] now obtained just filled it in, like the last piece of the puzzle.
"The characteristics of this 'devil worm' extraordinary creature are indeed very strong!"
He put his palm into the lava, but was not hurt. The touch was like thick porridge that was slightly hot to the touch.
He grabbed a piece of lava and let the red liquid slowly slip from his fingers, making a sizzling sound accompanied by a little smoke.
"Well...but you will still get burned over time, so you are not completely immune."
Chen Lun began to feel slight pain, so he shook off the lava on his hand.
Even so, he was satisfied.
"With it, the strength of the 'Orochi Form' will be greatly increased... But I can feel that the current [Animal Mimicry] has reached its limit, and it can only store the characteristics of an extraordinary creature for the time being."
Chen Lun thought to himself.
After concentrating, I communicated with the statue, and roughly learned from the feedback that there were still 219 points of sanity left in the store.
"Almost half of the reserves have been consumed. Let's leave this exploration for now, leaving enough reason for emergencies."
Chen Lun made up his mind to follow the instructions and use his mind to connect to the wooden house by the lake.
He slowly closed his eyes and felt the air suddenly become stagnant.
The next second he opened his eyes, he found that he was back in the wooden house.
Chen Lun was surprised at first, then chuckled.
"This feeling is almost the same as 'The next book'... Go back."
boom!
White light suddenly appeared.
When he suddenly came to his senses, he was already lying on the bed.
Holding the copy of "Philip's Adventures in Wonderland" in his hand, the moonlight outside the window shone quietly.
Chen Lun let out a long breath and put the old book in his hand into the [Jingzhe] bookmark for storage. At the same time, a concern arose in my mind, what should I do if the sanity in the statue is exhausted?
He turned over and started thinking:
"This book is an important foundation for me to gradually become stronger... If I don't have anything to do on weekdays, I may be able to store my own sanity in it. With the recovery increase of [Maggie's Tears], for me, as long as I don't save it all at once, Too many and it should be fine.”
There was no better way for now, so Chen Lun decided to use himself as a "humanoid power bank".
Immediately, a vague plan vaguely emerged in his mind, but he couldn't figure it out yet, but his strong intuition told him——
Future players may be the fuel for their rapid growth...

The next day.
Inner city, Garden Hotel.
The five members of Polar Star arrived here early. They looked at each other and then walked towards the door.
"Sorry sir, your attire does not meet the requirements for entry."
Two security guards at the door stopped Polaris and his party.
The security guard looked at these men and women with a vigilant look on his face. Because of the murder that happened not long ago, the superiors told them to strengthen the screening. The five people in front of them were very suspicious, especially the three men at the back. Their clothes were cheap and shabby, and they didn't look like they could afford to spend money here.
Following the security guard's line of sight, Polaris and Su Keying turned back and looked at the three centaurs behind them. They were still dressed in low-level attire, with embarrassed looks on their faces.
"——(Speechless expression) Why is everything in this game just like the real world? Even the janitor looks down upon others?"
Group chat communication, horse people send messages.
"——How about you three go to a nearby clothing store now and buy a decent set of clothes?"
Su Keying answered.
"——It's so affordable! Just a set of clothes costs a few silver coins. You can't get them even if you kill us! How about we just wait outside...?"
Nugget Gold said.
"——Then you three wait outside. Su Keying and I went in... If you can't get the mission, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Polaris said.
The three horsemen looked at each other in disbelief.
If it is true as Polaris said, if we miss this big mission, we will die.
"——You two have a lot of money, can you lend it to us first? When the public beta starts, we will pay you back twice as much. We will guarantee it in the name of our guild and we will never break your promise! You can take screenshots! (Shake hand expression)"
Forgotten Wuji sent a message.
"——No. (Crying emoticon)"
"——No borrowing."
The three centaurs suddenly clenched their fists.
Just when they were at a loss what to do, a young man who looked like a waiter came out of the lobby, whispered something to the two security guards, showed a silver badge, and pointed at them.
"I'm sorry, it turns out that you are all distinguished guests with an appointment. Please come in."
The security guard's attitude immediately changed and he took off his hat and saluted respectfully.
Polar Star and his party were a little surprised, but since they could pass, they winked at each other and walked straight in.
Entering the lobby on the first floor of the Garden Hotel, they were secretly surprised by the spacious and bright environment and the luxurious decoration.
I'm afraid it will take quite some time after the open beta in the future before a small number of players can set foot in such a place.
The waiter led the way and soon reached the depths of the lobby. He stopped, with a professional smile on his face, and stretched out his hand toward a location in the corner.
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the waiter and saw a man in a black dress and hat, sitting there with his head down, waiting quietly. The noise around him seemed to have nothing to do with him. The silver cane leaned against his hand, and an indescribable sense of mystery and silence came to him.
"Please take a seat."
The dark-haired man raised his head and gestured politely.
Several players suddenly discovered that the opponent was not Mr. Jack, but an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
"Don't be surprised, it's me."
Chen Lun gently brushed it on his face, restored his original ridiculously handsome face, and smiled at them.
This is a [D-level artifact-Starlight Veil] lent to him by Noah, which can change his appearance and conceal his identity.
The five members of Polar Star breathed a sigh of relief and sat down opposite him like good babies. Then he sat upright, not daring to move.
"——Every time I see him, I remember the scene of him being beaten, blanched, and numb. (Speechless expression)"
Nugget Gold sent a text message.
"——Do you think this NPC will be a villain BOSS after the public beta?"
The centaur made a guess.
"——It's not impossible... If that's the case, wouldn't we have intervened in the main plot in advance?"
Forget Wuji said.
Others were faintly excited, feeling that they would be witnesses or even promoters of important historical moments.
"I invite you here this time because I need your help with a small matter."
Chen Lun waved his face again, turning into an ordinary middle-aged man, and said softly.
Upon hearing his words, the five players' hearts beat faster.
At this time, the waiter brought coffee and snacks, placed them on the table, and handed the silver badge back to Chen Lun. The latter accepted it and placed the two silver coins in the palm of the waiter's hand.
The waiter smiled happily, thanked you respectfully, and left with a bow.
"What's the matter? Master Jack, please tell me, we will definitely go all out!"
Polaris said solemnly.
Chen Lun chuckled lightly, picked up the coffee and took a sip.
"I want to destroy the Red Apple Church in Amber City..."
"!!!"
The five players had a look of shock on their faces.

"——Take off immediately! Hahaha!"
