Chapter 345 New Circus Project: Baptism of Destiny
Peacock City Jack Winery.
Back garden.
The weather is bright today, the temperature is slightly warmer than in the past, and there is a hint of warmth in the cold. The sun shines in the garden, making the whole scene appear transparent and bright.
A makeshift awning had been erected in the center of the garden, and Noah was sitting under it, painting.
Behind Noah, Alex folded his elbows and watched, marveling.
Even Antonio was attracted by the sight and did not play with Bib Ding Ding. It was chewing grass in its mouth, and the big white cat was holding Ting Ding in its mouth. Standing on Antonio's back, a cow, a cat, and a hedgehog were all staring at the paintbrush behind Noah. After being stained with paint, it moved Go to the canvas and paint.
"Noah, you're exaggerating...it's not good to lie."
Antonio exhorted in a serious tone.
"Huh?"
Noah stopped painting and turned his head to look at the cow suspiciously.
"Anton, why do you say that?"
The cow shook its head, raised one forelimb, and pointed at the lower body of the handsome man on the canvas.
"How can humans be stronger than cows? This is unrealistic."
Alex patted the cow and said with emotion:
"You are just a cow and do not understand human art..."
"Maybe I don't understand, but I know that this is a lie... Just like Alex, you often lie to me about how great you are, but in fact you are just a Luther."
The cow said angrily, lowering her head and taking another bite of the turf.
"Damn it! Where did you learn this vulgar term?! I'm not Luther, let me say it again!"
Alex broke the defense on the spot and beat the cow's body angrily, but the cow didn't move at all.
After Alex fell to the ground tired and out of breath, Noah whispered to his two companions:
"I'm not exaggerating! Mr. Jack's body is so perfect! He is the most golden-proportioned man I have ever seen!"
"I admire Mr. Jack, but I don't believe it."
Antonio said, standing upright like a human being, with his penis clearly visible in front of the two of them, as if he wanted to prove something.
"Look, this is impossible."
"Antonio! Get down! Don't show your damn thing again!"
Alex screamed.
Noah also hurriedly comforted the cow and said something nice, and then Antonio lay down again glumly.
"Anton, don't show your body to others casually in the future, especially ladies... This is very rude behavior!"
"Got it..."
Antonio muttered.
It controlled its own muscles and slowly retracted the sensitive part into its body.
"That's all. By the way, this is a way for male cows to show their charm. You humans don't understand the art of cows."
Noah and Alex looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
At this time.
Floy came over with snacks and tea. Seeing this, Noah put away Mr. Jack's art painting at lightning speed and replaced it with a half-finished landscape painting.
"Well, thank you, Miss Floy."
Noah stood up respectfully, took the tray, and said to the blind girl in black dress.
"You're welcome."
Floy smiled slightly.
The cow suddenly turned its head and said to her as if to tell a story:
"Noah just drew Mr. Jack's nude body and deliberately exaggerated the size."
"?!"
Noah's smile suddenly froze.
"Noah?"
Floy stopped as she was about to leave, turned around slowly, and "stared" at him expressionlessly.
"Miss Floy, I didn't... If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Alex."
Noah turned his head in panic and pointed to his side.
But he suddenly discovered that Alex had disappeared, and the cow also took the big white cat and the little hedgehog to roll and play on the lawn not far away.
"..."
Noah had no choice but to hand over the hidden paintings honestly.
After taking it with a straight face, Floy said in an unhappy tone:
"Don't do this again!"
"Got it, Miss Floy."
Noah replied dejectedly.
But in his heart, he was thinking that he should draw secretly in the room next time. Antonio and Mr. Alex were too unreliable.

Chen Lun is in the living room, testing the "new products" sent by Maggie and Connie.
The two ladies sat on the sofa at the other end of the coffee table, chatting and drinking tea, but they focused most of their attention on Mr. Jack's expression, anticipating his reaction.
At this time, Chen Lun suddenly looked up and saw Floy holding a painting in his arms and going upstairs angrily.
"What happened to Miss Floy?"
Connie noticed Mr. Jack's gaze, followed it, and asked with some surprise.
Maggie turned around and smiled.
"It must have been Noah who drew the nude painting of the group leader again, and Floy caught him."
Connie thought of something, her cheeks suddenly turned red, and she was speechless.
Chen Lun was speechless for a moment and coughed twice.
"Maggie, this optimized version of the 'Calm Spirit Potion' and the 'Thirst Strength Potion' are very effective, several times more powerful than the first version... What are their costs and output?"
He immediately changed the subject and drew the attention of the two ladies back.
Speaking of the potion she prepared, Maggie immediately became interested and excitedly introduced the ups and downs of the potion's development process to the group leader, as well as her many fantastic ideas, until Chen Lun interrupted. Her, let her talk about the key points.
"Oh... the cost is not high. It only has three or four more extraordinary materials than the previous formula. It costs about 60 gold pounds to prepare a 'Spiritual Companion Shuangshuang', while the 'Mighty Bull Helper Bangbang' costs 45 gold pounds. lb.”
Maggie said seriously.
"The output is okay. With the [Skilled Beaker] you gave me, leader, I don't need to worry much...it can work on its own."
Chen Lun selectively ignored Maggie's name for the potion and nodded secretly, very satisfied with the result.
He took out a thousand gold pounds, handed it to Maggie, and ordered her to prepare as many "powerful tranquilizers" and "powerful thirst potions" as possible according to this standard.
Although Maggie was a little unhappy that the group leader did not use her name, she still had a smile on her face for the sake of the research funds.
"Connie, I have already tried this new model of long-handled flintlock gun. Its power, range and accuracy are much better than the first version. It can be officially put into mass production..."
Chen Lun then picked up a flintlock gun that was about one meter long and weighed about seven or eight kilograms, and said.
This gun is called [Connie No. 2]. The barrel and gun are made of alloy, while the stock and handle are made of wood. The style is relatively retro and simple, and the ammunition capacity has been increased to ten rounds.
"Excellent weapon, well done Connie."
Chen Lun stroked the heavy texture of the gun body, praised it, and also gave it a thousand gold pounds.
"Thank you, Mr. Jack. I will devote myself to my work next...With the help of Black Crystal Craftsman, the efficiency will be very high."
Connie said happily.
Chen Lun nodded.
At this time, he noticed that a player was interacting with the Jack statue in the Lake House area of Wonderland, so he took a casual glance.
"Huh?"
He was a little curious.
Chen Lun noticed that Polar Star, Dongyang, Chen Xi and others had solemn expressions on their faces, while the others had sad faces and the atmosphere was very depressing, as if they had encountered some difficult problem.
Chen Lun first told Maggie and Connie to go about their business first, and then he lay quietly on the sofa, sinking his mind into the wonderland, and secretly observed these high-ranking players.
"The store catalog is still the equipment and props, and has not been updated..."
Su Keying said with some disappointment.
"What should we do now? Our mission seems to be really stuck."
"Let's think of another way. People can't be suffocated to death."
Dongyang shook his head and said in a deep voice.
The rest of the people exchanged a few words and made some suggestions, but none of them were of substantial help, and the dull atmosphere became increasingly thick.
‘Polaris and the others are participating in the official red disaster area mission? Extraordinary coalition forces...'
Chen Lun "peeped at the screen secretly" and overheard the conversations of the players, and roughly understood the dilemma they were facing at this time.
'I remember that in version 1.0 of the previous life, the way players participated in the main plot was mostly through alliance. No matter which force they were in, they followed the NPCs of their own camp to participate in the war... but players generally would not face off against the high-end combat power of both sides. Just do some auxiliary work, or help clean up the mess. ’
He didn't expect that Polar Star, a group of high-level players, would be put in front and asked to contain and kill three mid-level priests.
The task was clearly beyond their capabilities.
‘It stands to reason that this shouldn’t be the case. Could it be that they are pretending to be circus members? So they were looked down upon by the shelter...or was it because everyone had 1 point of regional singing ability that misled the extraordinary alliance leader's judgment? ’
Chen Lun secretly guessed.
He finally thought about it and decided to help this group of players.
The first is to use their help to better spread the reputation of the circus, and the second is to continue to increase its importance to them, so as to increase the players' sense of belonging to the circus.
The third one is that Chen Lun is going to conduct an experiment on these players, about snake parasitism.
‘It’s a pity that Maggie’s new potion and Connie’s new weapon have just been put into mass production, otherwise we can take this opportunity to update the store catalog...’
Chen Lun called out the panel and performed some operations on it.
In the hut area by the lake in Wonderland, Su Keying suddenly discovered something and quickly shouted to her teammates.
"There are two more items in the store catalog! Take a look!"
"Huh?!"
Polar Star, Dongyang, Chen Xi and others immediately stopped communicating, triggered interactions one after another, and looked at the circus store catalog.
"Baptism of fate?!"
"What is this?"
Polar Star, Dongyang and others looked at each other.
"It feels very high-end..."
They immediately checked the details, which described——
[Baptism of destiny: Mr. Jack Speight, the circus leader, personally planted the "pale mark" on the members, thereby gaining a part of Jack's power. The specific abilities are as follows:]
[1. Pale Messenger. The snake messengers born from the mark can not only convey messages to the baptized, but also help the baptized to fight on their own. 】
[2. Replace the injured. Can consume the life of the snakes and take damage for the baptizer. 】
【3. Decline and decline. It can consume all the life of the snake group at once, causing the messengers to devoutly and willingly go to destruction, releasing a strong explosion of corruption. (Warning: Once it dies, the corruption process is irreversible and does not distinguish between friend and foe. In addition, the "pale mark" will be completely erased and the baptism needs to be completed again!)]
[Exchange price: 500 gold pounds or 500 contribution points. 】
“Blank!”
The nugget gold couldn't help but curse.
Polar Star, Dongyang, Chen Xi and others also took a breath.
"Isn't this equivalent to the highest level of miraculous granting in the church...?!" (End of Chapter)
