Chapter 439 Harvest
[Completed the main mission: the second phase of the spiritual world investigation operation! 】
[Get mission rewards: 45W experience points, 1000 gold pounds, 15 attribute points, 5 special attribute points, 5 regional popularity points, one A-level meritorious service from the Imperial Tribunal and Dazlet’s favorability! 】
Chen Lun took a brief look at the panel and was delighted.
At this time, McColin said to him seriously:
"Jack, this matter has not been made public for the time being. It will take some time to ferment...Prince Dazlet plans to focus on the war in the west first. Perhaps he will not officially start the pollution control until the Anlong United Kingdom is completely suppressed." The Hunting of the Insect Tide.”
"I understand, sir."
Chen Lun nodded.
"The Western War will be in charge of the military, and our trial team will most likely not participate, but there is the Zhengshen Church behind you... By then, the seven Zhengshen Churches should all send clergy to participate in the expedition. If you don't want to participate, I I can help you mediate.”
McCollin has something to say.
Chen Lun heard the deep meaning of his words and shook his head with a smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, Chief McCallion, but as a member of the Empire, I feel honored to fight for it... If the Generous Council sends me there, I can only do my best."
McColin nodded slightly, smiled and patted his shoulder.
Immediately, he didn’t know what he thought of and sighed:
"It's a pity that the group of immortal strangers suddenly disappeared en masse. If they were still there, a lot of losses could have been avoided in this western war..."
After hearing this, Chen Lun couldn't help but open the panel and glance at the update countdown.
‘Unknowingly, it’s the end of April, and the update will end in ten days. It’s time for players to go online... The Western War is an excessive plot at the beginning of version 2.0, and it is also a period of rapid growth for them. How can there be a lack of players? ’
He chuckled to himself.
‘And I also need them to replenish my sanity bank and treasury. It’s time to make preparations. ’
The past two months of exploring the dark world, coupled with witnessing the black and red stars at the end of darkness, made his already poor sanity even worse.
Now there are only a pitiful two or three thousand left.
Chief McCollin gave Chen Lun a few more instructions and then asked him to leave first.
Chen Lun bowed and resigned.
When he went down to the third floor of the building, he silently sat on the sofa in the rest area, pretending to lie down and rest, but in fact he was operating the panel to sort out his harvest.
'During the investigation in the dark world during this period, I killed many Didak bugs along the way. Each one has an average of tens of thousands of experience points. With the mission rewards, I have accumulated more than 2 million... Add points to upgrade. Bar. ’
With a move of his fingers, all the experience points were marked on [Sequence 5 - Juggler LV35]. The invisible golden light on his body flashed, and he was raised to five levels in the blink of an eye.
[The level of the main profession increases, and you feel that your body has been strengthened. The upper limit of life is +300, the upper limit of physical strength is +200, the upper limit of sanity is +5, the strength is +3, the endurance is +3, the dexterity is +5, and the intelligence is +5! 】
[You have gained 5 skill points and 5 attribute points! 】
[Remaining points on the panel: 42 skill points, 20 attribute points, 5 special attribute points, 0 blessing points]
'[Juggler] has reached level 40, which is still 10 levels away from the full level, but it requires more experience points. Now each level requires 450,000 experience points, and it takes almost 5 million experience points to fill this huge level. gap. ’
Chen Lun exhaled and felt a little headache.
As the level gets higher, the required experience points also increase. Even though I am now more efficient at gaining experience, my overall level improvement is slowing down.
If you want to be like the beginning, promotion is the peak, I'm afraid it will be difficult to repeat.
[Basic attributes: Strength 180, Dexterity 183, Endurance 180, Intelligence 201, Faith 10]
[Special attributes: Charm 68, Will 82, Insight 71, Luck 10]
According to the Sequence Five attribute threshold of 150 points, Chen Lun's panel attributes have already exceeded one, so he has no intention of using his hard-earned attribute points.
After thinking about it, he turned off the panel and got up from the sofa, walked to the "merit redemption window" at the corner, and found the old quartermaster from before.
"Hey, good day, Mr. Jack, what do you need?"
The old man adjusted his beret, lit a cigarette, and handed over the list with a smile.
Chen Lun already had a plan in mind. He asked the quartermaster for a dip pen, dipped it in the large open ink bottle on the side table, and immediately marked a few circles on the list.
""The Thirty-ninth Attempt of Lemon, The Man Who Chases Knowledge", the redemption price is one B-level merit, "True Sight Potion Third Edition Recipe", the redemption price is one B-level merit, "Yanita Language Manual" , the exchange price is C-level merit once, "Secrets About the Ancient Wizard", the exchange price is C-level merit once, "Occult Codex Part 2, Patterns and Symbols", the exchange price is C-level merit once..."
The old man picked up the list and read out several items circled by Chen Lun.
He blew out the smoke and chuckled.
"Master Jack must be a knowledgeable scholar who is thirsty for knowledge. The items exchanged are almost all mysterious books... These five items require a total of B-level merits twice and C-level merits three times."
"Please check my file. There should be records of meritorious service on it."
Chen Lun chuckled lightly and handed the dip pen back.
The quartermaster nodded and took out a stack of thick cowhide tomes from the drawer. After opening it, he accurately found the page where the number was based on the identity plate worn by Chen Lun.
"Oh, Mr. Jack, there is one A-level meritorious service on your file...according to the exchange regulations, it can be 'diluted' into two B-level meritorious deeds and three C-level meritorious deeds, and can be exchanged for the items you selected."
The old man raised his eyebrows, lowered his voice and reminded:
"But this is not cost-effective. After all, A-level meritorious service is very rare! No matter how much low-level meritorious service you do, you cannot exchange for high-level meritorious service... You must have made great contributions to get such a reward."
"Thanks for reminding me, but no need, that's it."
Chen Lun said with a smile.
He knows one thing very well, that is, only the one that suits him is the best... Currently he only has one A-level meritorious service on hand, and he urgently needs to redeem the things on the list.
"Now that you've decided, I won't say anything more, old guy... You need to sign here."
The quartermaster clipped the list chosen by Chen Lun on the signature board, handed it over, and clicked on the small blank space at the end.
Chen Lun hummed, then took the dip pen and signed it with a Jack Spate in a floral style. The old man took back the signature pad, stamped a precise seal on the left side of Chen Lun's signature, and then crossed out the merit record on his file.
The cowhide file book recording the members of the Imperial Judgment seemed to be an extraordinary object. After the quartermaster crossed out the records of meritorious service, it actually erased the traces of ink on its own, and then automatically closed it slowly without any wind.
"Sir Jack, these items are stored in the 'secret warehouse', and entry and exit need to go through multiple layers of procedures and reviews, so it will take some time... You can wait in the rest area for a while, and I will hand over the list to the staff later."
The old man said.
"Approximately how long will it take?"
"Hmm...about an hour."
"In that case, I'll go to the rest area and wait."
Chen Lun nodded and said.
"Okay, Mr. Jack, after the items are delivered, a staff member will hand them over to you personally."
The old man put out his cigarette butt and held the brim of his beret to greet him.
Chen Lun returned the hat salute and turned to leave.
About fifty minutes later.
A young male staff member came to the rest area carrying a cardboard box, bowed to Chen Lun on the sofa, and whispered that the exchange items had been delivered.
The other party carefully placed the carton on the table in front of Chen Lun and asked Chen Lun to personally inspect it.
After Chen Lun opened the carton, he found five books of various sizes inside, all wrapped in high-quality striped kraft paper for protection.
After checking one by one and confirming that it was correct, he signed a document again and then left the trial building with five books.

After returning to the Fengshen Church area, Chen Lun carefully studied five books in his study room.
First, he opened "The Thirty-ninth Attempt of Lemon, the Man Who Chases Knowledge", which is a mysterious book that records the sub-professional "Inscriber".
After a whole afternoon of reading, I finally triggered the prompt before dinner.
[Through careful reading, you have obtained the new sub-professional "Engraver"! 】
【Do you want to inherit this sub-profession? 】
'yes. ’
Chen Lun secretly thought.
A brand new entry appeared in the sub-profession column on the panel——
【Engraver LV1】
From the summary description of the panel, it can be roughly understood that this sub-class is similar to [Recorder]. It can also copy and spread extraordinary knowledge by consuming mysterious substances in corresponding ways...
But its greater advantage is that it can transcribe the extraordinary knowledge of the sequence!
This is also what Chen Lun values about it.
‘But now there is another big experience player. Originally, the main profession was only short of more than 5 million, but now if I want to fill up the [Inscription Master], I need more than 5 million...’
Chen Lun felt both happy and painful.
‘Next, we must take advantage of the excessive plot of the Western War, plan carefully, and gain a lot of experience points! ’
He sighed.
At this time, Connie knocked on the door to remind him that it was dinner time.
Chen Lun responded softly, and then followed Connie to the restaurant.
Taking advantage of the opportunity during dinner when everyone was present, he took out the "Recipe for the Third Edition of the True Sight Potion" and handed it into Maggie's hands.
"This is the potion formula I redeemed from the Imperial Judgment Group. Although it is not as good as the current seventh edition True Sight Potion, it still has many merits..."
Chen Lun said slowly.
"Maggie, I hope you can use it to prepare a potion that is cheaper and more suitable for mass production... It doesn't matter if the effect is less, as long as it can allow a low-sequence transcendent to see into the shallow layers of the spiritual world. ”
Maggie chewed the thick-cut steak in her mouth and flipped through the thin recipe manual curiously. After a long while, she nodded in agreement:
"Captain, I took a quick look. There are many types of extraordinary materials used in it, and the preparation process is also very complicated. It may take me a period of research to produce the results you want..."
"It doesn't matter. Take your time. If you need anything, you can ask Floy and I will try my best to satisfy you."
Chen Lun nodded.
He also knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed, so he expressed relief.
Anyway, there is still some time before players go to the spirit world in large numbers to hunt the pollution wave. With Maggie's ability, Chen Lun believes that he can make it before then.
Late at night, he returned to the study alone and continued reading the remaining three books.
This was the case for the next two days.
By the time he had finished reading all three books, it was already the morning of the third day, and he had finally mastered three new skills——
[Yanita Language LV1 (Passive)]
[Ancient Wizard Language LV1 (Passive)]
[Mysterious Patternology LV1 (Passive)]
Chen Lun put the books away and let out a sigh of relief.
'Finally done... The accumulated skill points are now useful, let's add more! ’
These three knowledge and language passive skills are all at level five, and each level up requires two skill points.
Chen Lun allocated 24 skill points to three passive skills, maxing them out directly.
He suddenly felt that his knowledge of mysticism had reached a new level. What was originally just a superficial understanding immediately became profound, and countless confusions in his mind disappeared, and he suddenly became enlightened.
Chen Lun lay on the high-backed chair and closed his eyes for a while to digest.
Immediately, he slowly took out the Sequence Four mythological knowledge "The Life of a Performing Master: Philip's Autobiography" that Philip left for him, and opened it solemnly.
With three full-level occult passive skills, Chen Lun felt no pressure when reading this book again.
'This is an autobiography written by Philip for himself. The first two-thirds are some life experiences and insights...'
Chen Lun temporarily put aside his "prejudice" against Philip and calmed down to read the book. As if he got to know this person again, he gradually painted the image of Philip clearly in his mind from many unknown past events.
'It can be said that Philip is really like a protagonist template. If you put it in any novel, he can be the male lead...'
Chen Lun couldn't help but sigh.
As he reached the last third of the page, a prompt popped up on the panel again——
[You discovered the mythical knowledge of "Fate Faction Sequence Four-Joker"! 】
[After testing, you have not met the conditions for opening the promotion task, the details are as follows...]
[1. The main occupation "Sequence Five - Juggler" has not reached the full level. 】
[Two, the epic’s popularity is less than 5 points. 】
Chen Lun was a little surprised by this.
He could understand the first point, but the latter point was beyond his expectation.
‘I didn’t expect that the ceremony for promotion to a high position also requires singing degree... 5 points of epic singing degree means 150 points of regional singing degree. I already have 137 points now, almost. ’
Chen Lun also thought of a lot based on this request.
'If we follow this view, then other local extraordinary beings who want to be promoted to saints also need enough popularity... But for them, it should be more like a kind of fame. In the words of the mysterious field, it is called the scope of influence... ...From this point of view, the saint ritual of extraordinary transformation needs to leave enough traces in the present world. ’
He rubbed his chin in thought.
‘Don’t worry, when the players come online, the Western War should enter the formal stage... I can accumulate experience points and popularity through this major event, and strive to get it right in one step! ’
Immediately afterwards, Chen Lun took out a few more stone fragments, two small and one large. When put together, one-third of the outline could be seen.
‘Finally I can read the handwriting on the monument of destiny and see what is recorded on it...’ (End of Chapter)
