Chapter 196 To be continued
‘Have I been promoted to a mid-sequence transcendent? ! ’
Chen Lun felt unbelievable.
He looked through the previous records and found the prompt for completing the promotion task!
[Promotion mission completed: first appearance! 】
[You have met all the prerequisites and obtained the main profession [Magician]! 】
‘So I completed the promotion mission by accident? ! ’
Chen Lun felt that things were a bit strange.
He thought about what happened in the past 24 hours and found that everything seemed very coincidental, but also very reasonable.
And it perfectly meets the requirements of the promotion task.
I was affected by the side effects of three strange objects at the same time, and my luck value was negative. As a result, when I returned to Jack's Manor from the spirit world, I accidentally moved to another city and appeared in front of the jewelry exhibition venue.
At the same time, he was deeply involved in the identity of "Silver Pot Knight Fulun". Not only did he deceive a group of noble businessmen, Earl Lawson, and the killers of the Black Knife Brotherhood, but he also deceived the players of the Chuxi Guild headed by Qingtian Xiaoyu.
Even deceived myself.
However, his intrusion caused everyone's emotions to fluctuate and changed the trajectory of their fate...
Chen Lun was promoted as a result.
As for whose fate it changed?
‘Is it that Earl...? I changed his fate of death. ’
Chen Lun guessed.
He took a deep breath and felt that his promotion was a little too smooth, but he couldn't find anything wrong.
As a transcendent of the Destiny Faction, he increasingly feels the mystery and power of this kind of power. Just in case, he did some divination on the spot to find out whether there was some strange mysterious power in his body.
Three playing cards were drawn out and turned over. The predicted result was negative, and everything about him was normal.
‘So am I worrying too much...? ’
Chen Lun's eyes were profound.
But even so, he still felt strongly uneasy in his heart.
Think for a moment.
Chen Lun plans to try again, but this time he will go to the fairyland for divination.
‘Divination in the fairyland can block the mysterious interference from the outside world, and my own divination weight can also be improved... This kind of prediction is more accurate. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.

He did not stay long on the main road on the outskirts of Phosphorus City. He left directly and chose to head towards the city.
During this process, he did not take off the silver pot, but used it to change his appearance and became an ordinary-looking young man.
After spending a while, Chen Lun arrived at the gate of Phosphorus City. Along the way, he found that the situation here was even worse than in Amber City. Many refugees gathered together, almost blocking the city gate.
Many guards were armed with long guns and pushed and pushed away the refugees. Several conflicts broke out in the process, but they all ended with the refugees being beaten up.
There were even some refugees who were too excited and tried to snatch the guards' weapons, but were stabbed on the spot and died on the roadside.
Chen Lun watched with cold eyes and sighed secretly.
Like an ordinary person, he paid the entry fee of 10 copper coins before entering.
‘The entrance fee to Amber City was only 5 copper crowns back then, but here it’s doubled... The plague has become so severe. ’
Chen Lun silently looked back and saw that people who wanted to enter the city were bargaining with the guards for the "expensive" entry fee.
He withdrew his gaze and strode into the city.
This place is somewhat similar to Amber City, but there is no Amber River that cuts across the inner and outer cities. Instead, a high wall is artificially built as a "mountain" to separate rich and poor, disordered and clean and dirty.
Chen Lun casually settled in a hotel that looked a little clean, paid for one night, and rented a room.
After he entered the room, he checked briefly and immediately summoned some rats, scattered around as "sentinels" for early warning.
And he himself sat on the only chair, took out "Philip's Adventures in Wonderland" and flipped through it.
There was a bang.
He appeared at the top of the minaret in the town of Kazite and without wasting time, he started divination directly.
But this time, the result of the divination is no longer a negative prediction, but a positive one!
'There is indeed a problem...! ’
Chen Lun's eyes narrowed.
His promotion went so smoothly, and the many coincidences that happened did have unknown mysterious effects.
But when he continued to explore the source of this influence, he found nothing.
'What kind of power is affecting me... Even though I have been promoted to a mid-sequence transcendent, plus the increase of the fairyland and the bonus of the witch's blessing, I still can't find any clues in divination...'
Chen Lun frowned slightly, becoming wary of this unknown force.
‘Is it a being far above me? Or some other power...? But so far, there seems to be no malicious intent. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
‘But don’t jump to conclusions easily...’
He put this matter in his heart and then returned to the present world.
After thinking for a moment, he called up the panel to check and observe the changes after he was promoted to [Magician].
First, he found that his attributes had been improved, and then the level limit was raised from level 50 to level 80, which was far beyond the limit that players could achieve in version 1.0.
The upper limit of level in version 1.0 is 30. Even the top players, such as Polar Star Dongyang and others, are only at level 15 or 6 now.
He looked at the skills he had learned after being promoted to [Magician].
‘There is only one skill? ! ’
There was surprise in his eyes.
【Magic Trick LV1】
Skill description: As a magician, your signature tricks are both entertaining and deceptive...of course, they are also quite fatal.
At present, your proficiency in magic is not high, and you have only mastered the most basic magic trick - card throwing knife!
You can imbue the cards with extraordinary power and throw them out, causing damage comparable to or even exceeding that of a flying knife. Your throwing skills and accuracy improve, like a thrower who has been at it for years.
Chen Lun thought for a moment.
'A very good skill, but for [Sequence 7], it is still a bit weak... In any case, it has completed a transcendent transformation, and it should not be just such a skill. ’
He examined the skill [Magic Sleight of Hand] again and noticed that its description hinted at the issue of proficiency.
‘So it’s because its level is too low...? ’
Chen Lun seemed to understand something and tried to add some skill points to this [Magic Trick].
[Magic Trick LV2]!
[After a long period of exploration and training, you have once again learned a new trick - levitation! 】
[You can levitate yourself or other objects like a balloon and stay in the air without any support, but you cannot move quickly! 】
‘That’s true! ’
Chen Lun chuckled lightly.
If he is a local NPC transcendent, then it must be as described in the skill description. It will take a long time of exploration and study, and accumulation of enough mysteries before he can comprehend new magic...
But he is not at all!
After taking a look at the 16 skill points he still had, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said silently in his heart:
‘Add more! ’
[Magic Trick LV3]!
bite!
Chen Lun then realized a new trick - damage transfer!
Ability to transfer fatal injuries to other non-fatal parts of the body. For example, if someone is shot in the heart, the wound can be transferred to the arm, thigh, etc. to minimize the damage.
Chen Lun did not stop to take a closer look, but chose to continue adding more points!
[Magic Trick LV4]!
[Magic Trick LV5]!
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows because he found that the skill did not show the full level.
‘This skill… can continue to be improved! ’
His eyes were shining and he didn't stop adding more points.
Although after this skill exceeded level 5, the skill points consumed became 2 points, but he didn't care.
[Magic Trick LV6]!
[Magic Trick LV7]!
……
[Magic Trick LVMAX (10)]!
The sound of dinging was endless, and Chen Lun spent a total of 14 skill points to upgrade [Magic Trick] to the full level.
In addition to Card Throwing Knife, Levitation and Damage Transfer, there are five more tricks learned!
They are body separation, five-sense awareness, great transformation into a living person, disappearance in a cage, and item recovery.
Body Separation - The ability to split one's body briefly without bleeding or pain. It can perform actions that ordinary people cannot do. It can be used for unexpected attacks, avoiding enemy damage and various other scenarios.
It’s worth noting that real harm can still occur if separated body parts are not put back into place for too long.
Five-sense awareness - that is, the interconnection of vision, smell, taste, hearing and touch, with perception channels that ordinary people cannot understand. For example, you can read newspapers with your fingers, listen to flowers blooming with your ears, or even smell what others are chatting about.
Great Transformation into a Living Person - Advanced magic that can transform oneself or others out of thin air anywhere within 50 meters of the body.
The performance effect of this magic is somewhat similar to flash, and it can affect a third party.
The essence is more like some kind of "replacement".
Because there are several prerequisites for this magic. First, a "replacement object" needs to be prepared in advance to leave a "spell mark" on both parties. Second, a piece of cloth must be used as a blindfold prop, which is actually a ritual prop. Third, both parties must be within fifty meters of each other.
Cage escape - advanced magic. When you are trapped, or even when you meet the conceptual state of being imprisoned, controlled, and suppressed, you can replace it with anything within fifty meters through your gaze. .
This skill only affects itself.
Item Restoration - Advanced magic that can restore damaged and broken items, but only to inanimate ordinary items, and there is a time limit.
‘The Destiny faction’s [Sequence 7-Magician], although its destructive power is not as good as some other sequences, its life-saving ability is first-rate, and it is mysterious and changeable. It has a very wide range of adaptability and a high upper limit. ’
Chen Lun made a simple comment and smiled happily.
‘Although there is only one skill on the surface, it actually contains eight magic tricks...and they are all very practical.
Especially the two skills of great transformation and cage escape can greatly improve your survivability! It completely belongs to the power level of a mid-sequence extraordinary person! ’
Chen Lun took another look at the experience points he had——
【Experience: 216600/1900】
'The upper limit of the level of [Magician] is 30. After the total level of the panel is 50, each level up requires 5,000 experience points, and each time it is incremented by 500 points... I have accumulated 210,000 experience points for so long, although I can't If I continue to level it up like before, it will still be enough for me to level up to ten or twenty levels! ’
Chen Lun directly added all the experience points to [Sequence 7-Magician]!
"Add more!"
bite! Ding ding ding...!
The golden light invisible to others flashed crazily.
【You feel like your body has been strengthened! Upper limit of health +690, upper limit of physical strength +210, upper limit of sanity +10, strength +7, endurance +7, dexterity +14, intelligence +14, insight +6】
[You have gained 21 skill points and 21 attribute points! 】
After spending all his experience points, Chen Lun felt that he had become stronger.
There was a crackling sound all over the body.
‘Not enough… not even enough! Add more! ’
Chen Lun grinned.
He used up all 21 attribute points brought by the upgrade, added points evenly, and continued to develop in the direction of "Bucket Hexagon Warrior"!
After another wave of improvements, Chen Lun breathed out a long breath and called out the panel——

[Evaluation: You have completed the extraordinary transformation, been promoted to the ranks of mid-sequence extraordinary people, and have reached another level in the mysterious field... But your extraordinary journey has just officially begun! No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, always smile. For it, Oli gives it!】
Chen Lun looked at his panel and was quite satisfied.
After being promoted to a mid-sequence transcendent, he completed a metamorphosis. Not only was he improved in all aspects, but he also gained a mysterious resistance that low-sequence transcendents did not possess.
This is a kind of "resistance" to the high-level mystery, so that it will not be treated as a "trash fish" by the mysterious pollution.
And after being promoted to [Magician], the skills of the two previous sequences, [Animal Tamer] and [Soothsayer] have also been strengthened to a certain extent.
Chen Lun discovered that the ten memory slots of [Animal Imitation] have five more characteristics that can accommodate extraordinary creatures. Adding the two originally provided by [Natural Favor LV2 (Blessing)], there are seven!
‘Find an opportunity to find suitable extraordinary creatures and replace their characteristics with ordinary animal characteristics...’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
Jingle bell…jingle bell…
At this moment, he felt the sound coming from the blood poem ring, and took out the strange animal to see that it was the token [Bronze Bell of the Bottle] given to him by Mr. Ping before.
It was trembling slightly, as if it was conveying some kind of message.
‘Mr. Bottle is calling me...? ’
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows.
He thought for a while, and now that he has been officially promoted to the middle rank, he can just ask Mr. Bottle about the anchor point of Amber City, and then use the "spiritual world shuttle" to return to Jack Manor.
So Chen Lun concentrated his attention, saw through the gaps in the spiritual world around him, and took a step towards it.
boom!
Chen Lun "opened his mouth" and swallowed the gap in the blue spiritual world, and disappeared into the real world.

The main city of Gemstone State, Fossil City.
At the top of a tall building in the center of the city, there is a huge circular metal sign invisible to mortals. The bottom is a triangle. On the surface is a flintlock gun and a crossed palm, and three huge letters are engraved on it. "CMP" is the full abbreviation of the shelter.
In the spacious office, the floor-to-ceiling windows are transparent, and you can clearly see the purple moon hanging high outside.
Huge incandescent lamps are connected into a triangular pattern and installed on the ceiling, making the entire office look like daylight.
A middle-aged man was sitting alone behind his desk, holding a black pen and writing something on the paper.
The man is handsome, with three-dimensional facial features and deep eyes.
He has dazzling blond hair, a cigarette between his teeth, and a name tag with a black background and gold edges on the chest of his white shirt - the Supreme Judge of the Fossil City Asylum, Rudolf Teka.
"Time always makes people forgetful, huh... I have been sitting in this position for seven years without realizing it. How long are you going to make me wait? Philip... and that good boy, eh, Jack Spate?"
The man puffed out a cigarette, and the mist obscured his expression.
"I have to say, this name is really bad, it doesn't have the style of the protagonist at all..."
He chuckled.
The black pen in his hand moved quickly, and the sterling silver quenched blue nib touched the paper, leaving line after line of dark blue ink text, making a slight rustling sound.
The content left above is:
"——Jack's promotion went very smoothly. After helping his partners get rid of the curse, he accidentally fell into another city. Due to the side effects of the strange thing, he completed his debut by mistake. The ritual helped him become A young magician...
But what he doesn't know is that Jerome, the 'bone carving monk' of the Red Apple Church, is planning an action more cruel than the plague, which will cause serious psychological trauma to the people he values ...
< br>
After the death of his brother, he has to face the death of his only relative. Will the originally redeemed soul be eroded by darkness again...? Can the power of tragedy be turned into fireworks of revenge...?
……
Under the sun, roses also grow venomous thorns. The red undercurrent spreads throughout the God-given place. This is just a microcosm of the tragedy of the century...
The magician's deception can deceive the world, but he cannot deceive fate. He will become the protagonist of the entire tragedy and personally kick off the advent of the new world. ”
The black pen stopped.
The man pondered for a moment, seemingly dissatisfied with the script.
So he picked up the pen, crossed out the last sentence, and wrote again:
"——The magician continues to follow in the footsteps of the previous magician, and will also lead his circus around the world, experiencing one story after another, witnessing one tragedy after another, and showing his tricks to the world. Show your happy side, and also accumulate enough experience for the final stage..."
This time, the man nodded.
He temporarily stopped writing, added "To be continued" at the end, and immediately capped the pen.
The pen cap is decorated with a black snake, and two ruby eyes are shining brightly.
It seemed to come alive, meandering and moving, and finally wandered onto the script on its own, spat out a snake letter at the footer, and left a signature——
"By Howard the tragedian" are the words.
"Grow up quickly, no one is looking forward to your growth more than me... In order to help you reach the final stage as soon as possible, I will also arrange a bumpy but wonderful shortcut for you."
The man put out his cigarette and gently closed the script.
On the cover of this unfinished script, the title "King of Clowns" has already been written.
He picked up the script, stood up, walked to the bookcase nearby, and inserted it into his collection.
In the bookcase, there are many works such as "Mona, the Out-of-control Daughter", "Philip's Travels" and "The Tragedy Prince".
