Chapter 299 Don’t worry, I’m just using him
"Are you here specifically to see me?"
Lucy blushed, looked up at the gentleman in the black hat in front of her, and said softly.
Chen Lun smiled.
"Of course, Lucy...it seems that you did not disappoint me and successfully entered Omto Academy and became a student here."
He would not say that he was just here to observe Francis.
Lucy seemed very happy after being praised. She fiddled with the ends of her dark green hair with her fingers and giggled twice.
"Actually, I'm just lucky..."
She immediately remembered something and quickly handed the old book in her hand to Chen Lun.
"Ah, by the way, Mr. Jack... I did the task you assigned me!"
Chen Lun took the old book.
Looking at the "Carmen's Notes" written on the cover of the book, he felt a little complicated at the moment.
'Is this Lucy's high level of luck...she got it so easily. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
He did not rush to open the book in his hand, but glanced at Lucy.
Secretly using the fortune teller, he saw the opponent's current panel. The luck value of 32 points was extremely conspicuous and staggering. This special attribute was four times as high as his!
In other words, she can be called the lucky one, or the chosen one.
'If Lucy were put into a story, she would be the protagonist... Ever since her fate of death was changed, she has become a blessing in disguise. It's surprising that her luck has skyrocketed to such an extent. ’
The smile on Chen Lun's face became even bigger.
He felt that the girl in front of him was more pleasing to the eye.
‘Well, it’s worth cultivating. ’
In fact, when he was secretly observing just now, he discovered that the male student Francis's luck value was also not low, with 24 points. Perhaps this was the reason why he would get "Carmen's Notes" according to the original world line.
It's just that he met Lucy, a girl who was luckier than him.
So this opportunity was destined to miss him.
"Well done Lucy, you helped me a lot."
Chen Lun put the old book into the blood poem ring and praised it again.
"Hehe... Well, Mr. Jack, is there any reward?"
Lucy mustered up the courage to look directly into Chen Lun's eyes boldly and asked in a low voice.
"You live in the school dormitory now?"
Chen Lun did not answer her, but looked around. At this time, many students who came to the football field were paying attention to the two of them.
Handsome men and beautiful women always attract the attention of others.
"No, I'm not used to living with those classmates, so I rented a single apartment in the college area."
Lucy answered obediently.
Chen Lun nodded and said slowly:
"Take me there."
"Huh?"
Lucy was a little surprised.
But soon, a blush appeared on her face again, and she smiled and said:
"Is this Mr. Jack's reward... It's great."
Chen Lun opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He glanced at Lucy, who was already immersed in some kind of fantasy, and sighed in his heart. He just didn't want to stay any longer and be watched by people, so he just wanted to find a quiet place to read the old book.
But he was too lazy to explain, just shook his head and said:
"Let's go."
"Yeah!"
Lucy came to her senses and couldn't wait to lead the way.

After a while.
Chen Lun followed Lucy to her residence, a relatively small single apartment.
The location is just on the roadside two streets away from Omto College.
The interior decoration is extremely simple and the environment is clean. There are bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, balconies and living rooms, and all the furniture is available, but it is a little cramped.
"Mr. Jack, I'm sorry, I didn't buy tea...just water."
Lucy poured him a glass of water and said awkwardly.
Chen Lun shook his head, picked up the water glass and took a sip.
"It doesn't matter."
Lucy was relieved to see that Mr. Jack didn't dislike him, and then sat down next to him happily.
"Mr. Jack, the rent of housing in the college area is very high, so I only rented a house like this. Although it is small, it is enough to live by myself..."
Lucy explained.
Chen Lun nodded.
"All the money I gave you before has been used up?"
"No, there's a lot left."
Lucy shook her head quickly, as if she didn't want Mr. Jack to think that she was a lavish girl.
"Well, you can come to me if you run out."
Chen Lun said casually.
But Lucy waved her hand and said that she would go out to work.
"I don't want to be a burden to you, Mr. Jack."
Chen Lun was a little relieved. After putting down the water glass, he leaned gently on the cheap sofa.
"Lucy, work-study is a good habit, but it's not necessary for you. It will only waste your time and energy... I hope you study seriously at Omto College and don't have to worry about money."< br>
Lucy suddenly looked grateful.
"Thank you, Mr. Jack... I have grown up so big, but you are the only one who is so kind to me. Not only did you save me, but you are also willing to help me."
She blushed with embarrassment and suddenly laughed.
"The 'Francis' you asked me to pay attention to is the student who enrolled with me. He seems to like me a little..."
Lucy raised her beautiful eyes, always paying attention to Mr. Jack's expression, worried that he would be dissatisfied with it.
"But don't worry, I'm not interested in him at all. I'm just using him...Francis is like an idiot. With just a few words, he obediently gave me the book."
Chen Lun looked at Lucy's inviting look and felt funny.
I also silently lamented for Francis.
‘The licking dog licked until the end, and sure enough, there was nothing left. ’
Lucy leaned on Chen Lun, blushing and whispered:
"Mr. Jack, then...I'm going to take a shower first."
After she finished speaking, she prepared to stand up.
Chen Lun grabbed her wrist and said with a headache:
"Sit tight."
He pointed to the sofa.
Lucy was confused.
"Mr. Jack, are you...right here? If you don't mind, I'll be fine."
She bit her lip and began to unbutton her chest with both shyness and anticipation.
Chen Lun gave her a headache.
"Ah!"
Lucy exclaimed, covering her forehead and looking at Mr. Jack aggrievedly.
"Don't think about those things all day long."
Chen Lun sighed softly.
He secretly guessed that Lucy was probably influenced by her own bloodline, so she was a little obsessed with love between men and women.
He immediately took out a silver snake ring and inlaid it with a "seed of fairyland" on the spot, giving it the ability to enter the lakeside cabin.
"This is your reward."
Lucy took the silver snake ring, placed it in her palm, and looked at it curiously.
"So beautiful."
She praised.
The disappointment in my heart after being rejected also dissipated a lot.
Lucy put the silver snake ring on her right ring finger and admired it repeatedly, with a happy smile on her face.
Chen Lun ignored her and continued to take out a pen and paper, as well as a silver-white glass bead, which was a low-sequence mysterious substance from the Star Faction.
He began transcribing extraordinary knowledge on the spot. As the words were written on the paper, a hazy mist continued to float out of the surface of the mysterious substance and penetrated into every word. As he writes, the size of the silver-white glass ball gradually shrinks and finally disappears.
A piece of extraordinary knowledge of [Star Faction Sequence 9-Hunter] was born under Chen Lun's writing.
Lucy observed the whole process from the side, with a very curious expression on her face.
"Mr. Jack, what is this?"
she asked.
"A stepping stone that can truly allow you to step into the mysterious realm. It is a valuable piece of knowledge that can make you a transcendent person..."
Chen Lun handed over the paper and explained.
By the way, he also told Lucy the true purpose of the Silver Snake Ring. In addition to being a token of the circus, it was also the key to the "Lake House" where the team gathered.
The reason why he gave Lucy this ring was because Chen Lun didn't intend to bring her back to the team, but he kept this token in case he couldn't contact her in the future.
"Wow...a true transcendent, can I do that too?"
Lucy was surprised with the extraordinary knowledge.
Although she has mythical blood and is half a supernatural being, she knows very little about the mysterious realm, so Chen Lun had to give her a rough explanation.
Fortunately, Lucy is very smart. After only saying it once, she had the basic understanding.
"Lucy, you have excellent talents, and because of your bloodline, you are very suitable to walk on the path of the stars... so don't waste your talents."
Chen Lun said.
Lucy glanced at him warily, then nodded obediently.
"Well, I won't let you down, Mr. Jack."
Subsequently.
Under Chen Lun's arrangement, Lucy began to read extraordinary knowledge, and Chen Lun himself finally had time to take out "Carmen's Notes" to check it out.
After flipping through it, Chen Lun discovered that this mysterious book did not contain any extraordinary knowledge, but was just the insights of an extraordinary person from the magic sect.
The author Carmen, in this handbook, recorded in detail some opinions about magic, as well as his disdain for the "School of Madmen" and the "School of Everything".
According to Carmen, extraordinary people who delve into the path of magic are systematically divided into three schools, the School of Madmen, the School of Everything, and the School of Idols. Carmen herself belongs to the Idol school of magicians and considers the other two sects to be heretics.
He stated more than once in his letters that the person he admired most was his teacher, Frederic. And all the beautiful words were used to praise the teacher.
In addition to her teachers, the two people Carmen respects the most are Mr. Jingyao, the god of magic, and his subordinate god, Clarenzo, the god of murals.
‘Clarenço, who has always been on my radar under the Witch’s Crown, turns out to be a magic angel...and Mr. Jing Yao’s subordinate? ’
Chen Lun was a little surprised.
After reading through the letter, he could basically deduce three things, putting aside those meaningless emotional expressions.
First, the author Carmen is probably a high-ranking person in the magic path, otherwise many of his words would appear too arrogant. And there are many analyzes of magic and mystery in it that even Chen Lun would have difficulty understanding with his current level of mysticism.
2. There is a skill hidden in the handbook.
3. "Carmen's Notes" has three volumes in total, and this is only the first volume. (End of chapter)
