Chapter 215 The Secret of the Game (Please vote for me!)
After lunch.
Chen Lun received a reply from the spirit world messenger of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce.
The pig head showed an awe-inspiring expression and handed over an envelope from the wall.
After Chen Lun took it, it swished away.
'Why are you so afraid of me...I, Jack, am not a devil. ’
He rolled his eyes and opened the envelope.
The letter details the current situation of the Red Apple Church around Amber City. Because of the previous gallery incident and the Battle of the Square, they temporarily abandoned the city.
Even in several neighboring metropolises, the Red Apple Church voluntarily withdrew and gave them to other churches.
However, in this area, there are still three church branches in small towns. Chen Lun speculated that this may be a back-up plan arranged by the Red Apple Church, and it is very likely to start and make a comeback in the future.
‘We can’t leave any hidden dangers… destroy them all on the way to Himawari City! ’
Chen Lun made up his mind.
‘Byers reminded me that I cannot travel directly between the two cities in the spiritual world... I just took the train to leave Amber City, kill the three branch churches, and then enter the spiritual world from there. ’

real world.
Blue Federation.
Gorgeous city.
A hundred-story skyscraper stands in the center of the city with twinkling lights. Its four exterior walls are all made of translucent glass made of black technology composite materials, which can also be used as a projection screen.
On the black and blue glass on the front of the building, dynamic projection fonts with a high sense of technology appear, and the golden light is eye-catching - "Flash Eagle Group-Yingling Pavilion Headquarters"!
Dongyang, the vice president of Yingling Pavilion, was sitting in a conference room of several hundred square meters, which was completely white and extremely bright.
Dozens of guild leaders were sitting around the oval conference table.
The president was talking about this quarter's financial situation on the stage. Dongyang didn't pay attention, but picked up a magazine at hand. The cover character on it was none other than Dongyang himself.
"The group is very satisfied with our work. Since the open beta of "The Age of Secrets", Yingling Pavilion's reputation has become more and more popular, and the various commercial activities we have taken on have also made historic progress..."
President Xiaoguang was still talking excitedly, while Dongyang flipped through the magazine again.
One of the pages details the Guild of Yingling Pavilion, which belongs to one of the three largest consortiums in the Azure Federation, the Flashing Eagle Group, also known as the Golden Consortium.
The guild's footprints can be found in many games, but now its main focus is on "The Age of Secrets".
But this is not an isolated phenomenon. In addition to the golden consortium "Flash Eagle", the black consortium "Doug" and the red consortium "Amnesia Dancer" also attach great importance to this game and have invested considerable funds and manpower.
It seems that this game contains some huge treasure.
As one of the core executives, Dongyang knew that earning credit points by increasing visibility, using traffic and monopoly was only the smallest of the consortium's many purposes.
He once talked about this matter with the president Xiaoguang. Xiaoguang revealed a very secret information, that is, the reason why the three major consortiums attach so much importance to this game comes from the federal officials.
"The Age of Secrets" is not just the first next-generation "holographic game", its development team is actually an official federal scientist!
Although Dongyang thought it was nonsense when he first heard the news, it was the truth.
Those scientists who have been debating all day long about how to break out of the solar wind have actually studied the game. No matter who knows the truth, they will not believe it.
Xiaoguang also said that the birth of "The Age of Secrets" was an unexpected and accidental data evolution of the federal central computer, and it was also an attempt by that group of scientists.
Dongyang was shocked by the truth behind this game.
But as some of the smartest and most knowledgeable people in the world, no one knows what they are doing.
Xiaoguang finally said that the game "Secret Age" must hide deeper secrets, which prompted the three major consortiums to continuously increase investment in it. Not to mention that the three major financial groups are now making a lot of profits from it, even if they lose money, they will not hesitate.
This is the conclusion that President Xiaoguang deduced based on the attitude of the upper management of the group.
Dongyang also asked the president where he got the inside information...
Xiaoguang said mysteriously that his uncle accidentally let it slip.
Dongyang felt at that time that the news was very credible. Because he had heard Xiaoguang mention that the uncle of the other party was an official senior official of the Azure Federation and a member of the Azure Holy Cult...
The Azure Holy Religion is the only legal religion in the Federation, and it is also an elite group. Only the top talents in various industries can join it.
Almost all of the federal official scientists are members of the Holy Religion!
"Okay, let's stop here for this meeting... Dongyang, Ma Ren, Kuangbenkuang, you three stay, and the others can leave the meeting first."
Xiaoguang turned off the conference projection and spoke.
All the senior officials of Yingling Pavilion stood up and left, leaving only three men.
"President, I have something to explain."
Dongyang closed the magazine and withdrew his thoughts.
"The person in charge of this group handover appreciates our work very much and decided to increase resource allocation. Our share of reimbursement in the game will also be greatly increased... The three of you have made great contributions in the first phase of the development of the guild. I decide to give you a bonus.”
Xiaoguang smiled.
"How much?"
Dongyang glanced at the gleaming eyes of the centaur and Kuangben next to him, and asked the concerned questions on their behalf.
Xiaoguang shook his head when he saw this.
"No more, no more...10 million credits per person."
"President, I love you!"
The centaur was a strong man, and he was about to give him a bear hug, which scared the 1.65-meter-tall Xiaoguang to dodge back.
"This money is enough for you to buy a small apartment of your own in Huanlan City. You will continue to work hard in the future and strive to bring your family to live here as soon as possible."
Dongyang smiled and encouraged the two people around him.
He himself is not short of money. With the development of the Federation, inflation has become more and more serious. To be honest, Dongyang doesn't care much about this bonus.
The centaurs and the mad people responded repeatedly.
Just then.
The expressions of the three people were stunned at the same time, and the personal terminals on their arms vibrated. They clicked a few times, and a projected light screen popped up.
"There are events triggered in the game, and it's Jack's mission!"
"Let's go to the game cabin quickly!"
Dongyang made a gesture and ran out of the conference room door first. The centaurs and Kuangbenkuang saw this and quickly followed.
"Jack and the circus are our most important game resources in Yingling Pavilion now. The other two guilds supported by the consortium should have realized the importance of Jack by now. We cannot let go at a critical moment..."
Dongyang ran wildly in the clean and spacious white corridor.
"We know it, Vice President."
said the centaur.
Soon they came to the company's game cabin. It was like a warehouse, huge and spacious, filled with neatly arranged game cabins, and almost everyone was lying in it, sleeping with their eyes closed.
At first glance, the number seems to be no less than a thousand.
But that's not all. The company also has such areas on other floors, and even has branches in other prosperous cities.
The three people from Dongyang found their own exclusive game cabin, lay down in it as quickly as possible, and then connected to the game.

Jack Manor.
A group of players, nearly a hundred in number, were gathering on the spacious backyard lawn.
These people were divided into several groups, with distinct distinctions.
Among them, the leaders are Dongyang, Chenxi, Noutoujin and others.
Polaris sat alone on the grass. Players who approached him to talk to him were persuaded to leave by his cold attitude.
Su Keying and Wei Yin whispered on the other side, and there were several female players with unfamiliar faces standing beside them. They were all rich women who came to Jack's group.
"Why hasn't Jack come yet?"
"I don't know... The nun asked us to wait here and calm down. Just now, two guys were bored and shit on the grass, and they were killed by the man named Golov."
Su Keying played a video, and the female player next to her suddenly let out a disgusted sound.
"Fortunately, you checked the code, otherwise I would have gotten a needle eye."
One of the female players named "Yagojuro" said.
The other Jimei rolled their eyes. This guy was usually the most active in the group. He often went to Qiu Mingshan late at night, and the group was blocked several times.
If you really get pinpricks, it's probably because you've seen too much and your eyes are overworked.
They then turned their heads and glanced under the shade of a tree not far away, where a bearded man stood quietly, dressed in black, staring at them motionlessly, like some "gentleman" walking behind him.
"Speaking of the circus officials, they are quite scary no matter what..."
"Not really, that tall, fat painter is quite cute, and he is shy when he speaks."
Several female players were discussing.
Golov smoked a cigarette and stared at the group of undead. He followed the leader's order and was responsible for maintaining order to prevent them from causing chaos.
Fortunately, after killing two unruly ones and giving them a shock, and ten senior players who were official members of the circus persuaded them, the others were now obediently waiting where they were.
Not long after.
Chen Lun, accompanied by Floy, came to the backyard of the manor.
He still dressed like a young gentleman, wearing a black dress, black hat, and a silver cane in his hand. The only difference was that he added a large black windbreaker.
As Chen Lun arrived, the players turned their attention to him.
"This is Jack?!"
"Finally I saw him with my own eyes! I had only seen it on CG before! Thank you to Mr. Kotoujin and Forgotten Wuji for bringing us here to enhance the world!"
"He's so handsome! This kind of guy only appears in games!"
"..."
Dongyang Chenxi, Polar Star and other ten senior players came over together.
They were all full of expectations. This time Jack summoned the players and relaxed the number requirements. There must be some big move.
"Mr. Jack."
The top players said hello.
"I'm glad to meet you again, fellow foreign warriors."
Chen Lun responded with a smile.
He glanced at the many players present, and his eyes flashed with relief, as if he had transformed into an old farmer standing in the field during the autumn harvest.
These players are generally at level 13 or 4 and are members of various guilds. They used to be active in plague villages around Amber City. After coming to Amber City, they joined organizations such as the Public Security Bureau and the Iron Fist Gang.
According to the guild's intelligence and strategy, they either help the security office maintain order in the city and eliminate some lawless elements and diseased animals, or they participate in gang fights in Xiashuitan.
It can be said that it has gone through some cleaning and tempering, and has broken away from the category of cute and new.
However, the current stage of the version is just a transitional adaptation period for players. All they can come into contact with are some common sense but extremely common tasks and scenes.
This makes them have a deep desire and "resentment" for the mysterious realm and extraordinary beings.
Fortunately, this time, thanks to the relationship between the ten high-level players, they finally had the opportunity to participate in the so-called "big mission"...and this was probably an event involving a mysterious field, which every player was looking forward to.
At the same time, this is also an opportunity, an opportunity for them to become official members of the circus!
“I’m calling you all here this time because I need your help.”
Chen Lun said in a deep voice.
His voice is not loud, but it can be clearly heard by every player.
"Fate guides me. The empire will be in turmoil, and the red disaster will sweep across the earth... No one can stay out of it. This is an unprecedented crisis!"
The players couldn't help but look at each other.
The guild has a detailed picture and text introduction to the NPC Jack. Two documents can be filled with his deeds, and these players are more or less familiar with it.
The Red Apple Church in Amber City once attempted to sacrifice innocent people and even descended on the incarnation of a saint, but Jack alone stopped them. The extraordinary battle that took place at that time was extremely fierce, and the mixed-edited video that recorded the scene at that time still ranks at the top of the game forum for players to talk about.
Unexpectedly, this could be a precursor to disaster that could trigger turmoil in the empire? !
In other words, this is the main plot!
The players' eyes were full of surprise and anticipation, eager to try.
Chen Lun took a step forward, and the invisible momentum spread. Every player felt his breath hitch.
"I have uprooted the Red Apple Church in Amber City, but there are still three church branches standing in this area... I need you to work together to destroy them together!"
He said solemnly.
All the players were startled and received the task prompt at the same time.
[Trigger B-level hidden main quest: Jack’s determination! 】
Mission description: "Guide of Destiny" Jack Spate discovered the source of the disaster in advance, which was from the Red Apple Church, one of the seven righteous churches in the Trisul Empire!
Before the curtain of disaster officially opened, he decided to take the first step and clear out all Red Apple Church branches in the urban agglomeration area with Amber City as the core!
Mission target: The destruction of the Red Apple Church in Bingnuo Town, Youdou Town and Honghua Town (0/3)!
Mission reward: 5000 experience points, 10 gold pounds, silver snake ring (a token of the official circus member) and black crystal weapon (choose one of two daggers and wands)*1
"!!"
The players were immediately in an uproar.
"B-level hidden main quest!"
They hurriedly accepted the task, and then started talking wildly in their respective chat rooms.
I originally thought that such a big event was still far away from me, but now I am actually participating in the main plot!
While dozens or millions of other players are still struggling to level up, they have already been exposed to the main storyline of version 1.0 in advance!
This is really exciting!
The ten senior players were also shocked. They looked at each other, then looked forward in unison, focusing on the handsome and mysterious black-haired gentleman.
"——The importance of Jack is undoubted. By following him, we can participate in the main line to a great extent!"
Dongyang spoke.
"——This is nonsense! We already had a deep understanding of it during the internal beta!"
Kotoujin replied.
Bei Xing, Su Keying and others on the side nodded.
"——No, you don't understand what I mean... Even among the three major guilds and players scattered in every corner of the world map, no one has triggered the main line! Do you know what this means?"
Dongyang said.
After hearing what he said, the others woke up and were stunned.
"——Here, Jack is the key figure to start the main line of version 1.0!"
Chen Xi sent out a message.
Others suddenly felt inexplicably excited.
"The Red Apple Church has committed heinous crimes! They have become corrupted and have lost the bottom line and principles that a righteous church should have! They deceive, kidnap, murder and sacrifice... they do everything they can. They are a completely evil force!"
Polaris suddenly raised its arms and shouted.
The senior players around him were startled, and other players were also a little surprised.
Even Chen Lun glanced at him in confusion.
‘Hey, I haven’t spilled the beans yet, why is this kid so smart! ’
"Let us follow Mr. Jack's footsteps and eradicate the branch of the Red Apple Church! Eliminate unnecessary hidden dangers before disaster strikes!"
Polaris shouted coldly, raising his fist high.
The other players suddenly felt excited, cheered, and sharpened their knives.
"Kill the Red Apple Church!"
"Garbage and rotten apples must be eradicated!"
"Haha, our first large-scale mission is to confront the Seven Orthodox Churches. It's so exciting!"
Chen Lun on the side looked at these playful and smiling players, then looked at Polaris, and chuckled to himself.
‘This kid…’ I am very grateful to Duanjun Shangyu, the first leader of this book!
