Chapter 315 Lively Dinner Table
Chen Lun narrowed his eyes after seeing the scene of the three-headed giant snake disappearing.
‘Are there ancient extraordinary creatures that existed in history… Borrowing from the past to such an extent is the power of the high-ranking members of the History and Ritual Association. ’
He stopped where he was, silent for a few seconds, and then turned around.
Chen Lun walked up to the assassins of the Murder Club, and his deliberately low voice came out from under the black cross holes of the mask:
"Thank you for your hard work, this operation ends here."
After a battle, the seventeen killers did not suffer any casualties, but they were just a little tired. They smiled, bowed to Chen Lun to show respect, and said:
"You are too polite, this is just a small effort..."
"If you need it again next time, you can always call again and we will definitely come."
Chen Lun nodded.
At this time, one of the leading killers put the trophies collected in advance in a wooden box and handed them to him.
"Mr. Qiao Ke, these are the remains of the members of the Ancient Reader team, as well as the captain's mysterious substance."
Chen Lun did not take it, but opened the lid of the wooden box and took a look.
There are seven C-level artifacts and Jiufen medium-sequence earth faction mysterious materials placed inside.
Luonoli's body was shattered on the ground. Although it could not be separated into a complete strange object, it still contained nine parts of the mysterious substance. This is the foundation of the Sequence 5 transcendent.
Chen Lun easily saw the information about the seven strange objects through the descriptions on the panel, but he was a little disappointed because six of them were of useless quality and only one was passable.
[C-level trick-skilled beaker]
Item description: An item containing the power of the earth. It takes the shape of an ordinary old transparent beaker. The scales on it are very precise. It seems to be a vessel used for alchemy or medicine.
The traces of time make it look like it has quite a bit of experience in this area. Perhaps, it is already a skilled beaker and can work on its own.
Item effect: Moderately improves the success rate of alchemy rituals or medicines. After successfully completing a ritual or refining, the entire process will be memorized, and repeated use will greatly improve efficiency.
Item cost: Every once in a while, it will consume materials and fall into a lazy slumber.
‘This weird thing can be used by Maggie...’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
So he took away the beaker and the nine mysterious substances in the wooden box, and then said to the killers:
"The remaining relics will be regarded as your extra reward."
The killers were a little surprised, but they immediately showed joy and said quickly:
"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Qiao Ke."
Although the remaining six artifacts are not enough points, they are all C-level, and the money they can resell can give each person nearly two hundred gold pounds.
Chen Lun did not speak any more, but took a step forward with his giant sword, performed a cloud leap and disappeared from the spot.

After returning to the winery.
Chen Lun took off his Balag armor and returned to his original appearance.
He looked a little tired. The main reason was not the fighting, but the aftereffects of wearing the armor, and when he used thought transmission to pollute Lonoli, he peeked into the mythical murals in his mind, which caused some mental load.
Although these are all based on the massive sanity value in Maggie's statue, as a carrier, he will also be affected to some extent.
Chen Lun lay on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of the teacup clattering on the coffee table, and then he felt a pair of slightly cool hands gently touch his forehead, then slowly move to his temples and begin to rub them.
"I made you tea."
A familiar and ethereal voice came from behind.
Chen Lun sniffed the fragrant breath on the tip of his nose, enjoyed the comfort brought by the pressure on both sides of his forehead, and smiled.
"Thank you."
Then, the living room fell into silence.
He and Floy were silent in agreement.
A long while.
Chen Lun felt much better. He raised his hand, took Floy's hand, and signaled her to stop.
He immediately opened his eyes and sat up.
"Sit over here."
Chen Lun turned his head and said behind him.
"Yeah."
Floy obediently walked around the sofa and sat next to Chen Lun.
"Sorry, I encountered some accidents outside in the past two days, but they have been resolved now."
Chen Lun picked up the tea that Floy made for him, took a sip and said.
Floy showed a smile and nodded silently.
She gently rested her head on Chen Lun's shoulder, saying nothing, but her expression showed a hint of relief. Seeing this, Chen Lun couldn't help but slow down his breathing, as if he was worried that the rising and falling chest would affect Floy's feelings.
The two of them just sat on the sofa, quietly enjoying the afternoon.
And listen to each other's breathing and heartbeat.

Today's dinner was quite sumptuous.
It can be seen that Floy is in a good mood.
Noah, Maggie, Golov and Connie were all present.
Everyone tasted the delicious food, talked and laughed. Noah shared with everyone some interesting things that happened when he went out to do commissions. Golov was the king of support and would show some exaggerated expressions very cooperatively to let Noah express his feelings. Desire becomes more intense.
Button and Morey are boring gourd types. They listen very carefully but rarely speak.
As a lady, Maggie is not a lady. This can be seen in her bold behavior during meals or in her unabashed laughter when she hears Noah say something funny.
Connie is relatively normal, but her voice is not loud every time she speaks. During this time, Chen Lun found that besides learning some mechanical knowledge on her own, she also read books such as "Housekeeping Guide", "How to Become a Qualified Lady" and "A Good Day Starts with Dressing".
This is an ordinary girl who is studious.
It’s also pure.
At this time, Golov and Barton Morey looked at each other, then stood up and bowed to Chen Lun:
"Captain, I'm sorry, we still haven't been able to find any clues about the farmer 'Dolim' during this period."
"It's okay, let's sit down and eat first."
Chen Lun put a piece of fried chicken into his mouth and waved his hands.
Gorlov looked ashamed, but sat down anyway.
"Don't feel any psychological pressure. You have already done a good job... If I really don't have a clue, I will personally investigate."
Chen Lun comforted him.
Golov took a deep breath, nodded silently, and then picked up the knife and fork again.
Chen Lun then took out the [Skilled Beaker] and handed it to Connie on the left, asking her to pass it to Maggie.
"Maggie, this is a [C-level artifact], which helps you prepare potions..."
He then explained the specific effects and costs.
Maggie took the beaker from Connie's hand, showed an excited smile to Chen Lun, and said loudly:
"Mr. Leader, thank you so much! I happen to be researching new medicines recently, and I like this gift very much!"
"You're welcome."
Chen Lun chuckled lightly.
Everyone continued to eat.
Connie also took advantage of this opportunity to report her recent work situation to Chen Lun. She said that she successfully developed a new weapon based on the principles of the flintlock gun and some of her own ideas, with the help of the black crystal craftsman, which she named "Connie No. 2".
This is a long-handled flintlock rifle that can pull the bolt and fire continuously. Although the ammunition capacity currently only supports five rounds, its effective range reaches two hundred meters. Its accuracy and power are not bad. It also supports black crystal bullets. emission.
The most special thing is that the barrel of this flintlock gun is also equipped with a flame launcher, which can incinerate enemies at close range. It has a very wide range and consumes the same fuel as mechanical gloves, but consumes more energy. big.
"It's a very good idea. When you have time someday, you can give me the sample to test... If you don't have enough R&D funds, you can tell me."
Chen Lun smiled.
"Yes, Mr. Jack."
Connie was very happy to hear his compliment.
At this time, Floy seemed unable to sit still. She said that she had also studied a new dish, turned around and entered the kitchen.
Everyone at the dinner table couldn't help but smile when they saw this.
But more of it is expectation.
"Is Miss Floy going to cook something delicious again?"
Noah and Maggie's eyes burst out with green light, and they even wiped the saliva from the corners of their mouths with a napkin.
"I don't know, I hope it's beef...chiliu!"
After a while.
Floy brought a large basin of boiled beef to the table, and the aroma immediately hit his face.
"Wow!"
"What is this?"
"Beef! Really beef!"
Everyone in the circus saw this and became excited in a hurry.
Chen Lun was a little surprised when he saw this dish. He glanced at Floy, who seemed to notice his gaze and turned to smile at him.
On weekdays, Chen Lun often tells Floy some recipes from his "hometown", but most of them he only knows what they look like and how they taste, but he doesn't know much about the specific methods.
Unexpectedly, Floy was able to roughly restore the dishes based on just this clue.
But that's it.
Floy was about to serve everyone with a spoon when he saw a red shadow passing by, jumping onto the table and diving into the basin.
thump!
"?!"
Everyone's expressions were a little dull.
"What jumped in?"
"It's Dingding the little hedgehog..."
In just a few breaths, a hedgehog, as round as a big rubber ball, slowly crawled out of the basin, its body still steaming and covered with oil.
Its eyes were full of tears, not sure whether it was because it was full of tears or because it was too spicy.
Everyone just felt angry and funny.
But Chen Lun frowned slightly.
The effect of [Prudent Gardener] is to automatically search for harmful substances within a certain range and devour them. The description is a bit abstract and does not specify what "harmful substances" are... Its general performance is just to search for wineries. Rats, venomous snakes and vermin.
"Connie, is this beef fresh?"
Chen Lun asked casually.
When everyone heard Mr. Jack's question, they immediately thought that Ding Ding was not a real hedgehog, but a strange creature in the form of a living creature. Perhaps it was because the beef had gone bad, so it rushed over to eat it immediately.
"Ah...it's fresh, Mr. Jack!"
Connie stood up quickly. She mistakenly thought that Mr. Jack was accusing her of not doing things well, so she said nervously.
"I went to the market specifically to purchase this morning, and it was the highest quality meat from the Montero Slaughterhouse..."
"Montero Slaughterhouse..."
Chen Lun suddenly thought of something.
‘Isn’t this Miss Trier’s family business, the slaughterhouse that was rebuilt after the Harrington toy factory was sold...’
He put down some of his guesses and said to Connie with a smile:
"Don't be nervous, I'm not blaming you, I'm just asking casually."
"I understand, Mr. Jack."
Connie took a deep breath and sat down slowly.
Meow!
At this time, Bibu, a big white cat that was comparable in size to a caracal, suddenly jumped onto the table and slapped Dingding several meters away before knocking him to the ground. The latter even bounced twice and made a snapping sound.
Bib seemed to be displeased that it ruined his master's interest in eating, so he chased after him, slapped him hard, and drove him away.
When everyone saw this, they laughed loudly, and the depression of not being able to eat delicious food was swept away.
Only Chen Lun remembered this inconspicuous thing and told Connie not to buy any more meat from the Montero Slaughterhouse in the next few days.
His spiritual intuition had a slight fluctuation just for a moment, and it seemed that it was because of the pot of beef.
‘There’s something wrong with this meat…’ (End of Chapter)
