Chapter 354: Chapter 239 Follow Your King Forever_2
The waiter carried the tray, bowed slightly, and then left.
Chen Lun’s alias in the Murder Club was “Qiaoke,” which he had made up temporarily, but Akebin and the others all knew it was him.
‘According to the plot development, Akebin will be promoted to “Sequence Five – Disaster Disease Master” in the future, a rare and powerful ally. Keeping in touch can’t hurt… As for Drake, consider him an extra.’
Chen Lun played out his calculations.
At this moment, he picked up a bottle of dark brown Supernatural Wine, his face thoughtful.
[Supernatural Wine – Tears of Sorrow (Premium)]
Item description: Wine infused with the power of the moon and stars, brewed with special techniques and high-grade supernatural materials.
The aroma of the wine contained a hint of bitterness, but the aftertaste was sweetening, as if in the painful memories, there was also a touch of sweetness.
Item effect: After consumption, Charm Value +5, and one can see Lost Souls with the naked eye, lasting 48 hours. Side effect: One will involuntarily recall past significant memories, whether bitter or sweet, deepening the impression of the person one cares about.
“This bottle of wine…”
Chen Lun murmured softly.
In this batch of premium Supernatural Wines, its effect was not outstanding, even ranking last, but Chen Lun thought of something.
That was Mr. Bales’s amnesia.
The side effect of the [Tears of Sorrow] might just help alleviate his condition.
Connie then directed several strong workers to move a life-sized human statue into the mansion.
After settling the workers’ pay, they all left.
Connie stood in front of the statue, examining it with glowing eyes.
A statue that would normally take at least a month to complete was finished in just three days under the offensive of Gold Pounds, a result of the sculpting team’s tireless efforts.
At the feet of Mr. Jack’s statue was a square stone pedestal.
It stood straight upon it, one hand tipping the hat, slightly bowed head, the other gently resting on a cane, his long coat fluttering as if blown by the wind.
It was intricately detailed and mysterious.
Connie praised it a few times, reluctantly shifted her gaze, then ran back to the villa.
Soon after, Chen Lun followed her to the statue.
Upon examining it, he felt very satisfied. The efficiency of the sculpting store was high, and it recreated his handsomeness at one-fifteenth, also qualifying as “not bad.”
“Mr. Jack, do you plan to place this statue in the garden?”
“No, it has another purpose,”
Chen Lun said with a light laugh.
He went to the storage room, collected a metal plaque that he had instructed Connie to make a few days ago, and then proceeded with the statue to a small cottage by Wonderland Lake.
He placed the statue next to a grape tree.
‘In the future, when players come here, they can admire this statue, and whether it’s launching missions or exchanging items, I can do it through it.’
Chen Lun patted the statue on the shoulder and said to “himself”:
“I’ll leave the players to you from now on.”
He then turned and went to a grassy clearing by the side of the cabin, sticking the metal plaque into the ground.
The plaque read “Battle Area.”
The Scenery of Immortal Realm resembled the Spirit World, even if it was damaged, it would recover in an extremely short time, making it perfect for player PK.
Players wanting to enter the Spirit World might have to wait a long time. But if they fought in the current world, it could easily attract the attention of the Shelter, risking legal violations and capture.
Thus, this place would become the most coveted “arena” for players, free from restrictions and allowing uninhibited combat.
The most important point was that it was free, as a “benefit” of the Circus!
Although they had already indirectly paid a service fee named “Sanity Value” once they entered the area of the lakeside cabin,
players probably wouldn’t mind this.
After all, for them, Sanity Value was the least valuable, just like Physical Strength, capable of natural recovery, and even resetting after death.
Chen Lun then placed a second metal plaque, a hundred meters away in the direction opposite to the “Battle Area,” labeled “Exchange Area.”
Players, even if separated in the current world, could enter here to perform real-time item trades, intelligence exchanges, and other face-to-face activities.
Lastly, Chen Lun came to the bank of Gazing Lake, next to the Maggie Statue, and inserted the third plaque — “Enter Instance.”
‘Once players exchange for Immortal Realm instance tickets at the Jack Statue, they can enter the Forest of Nature and Kazt Town instances from here… Following my steps, they could unlock more instances, but they will always be a billion steps behind me.’
Chen Lun looked around, very satisfied with the “Task Hall” he had handcrafted.
He quickly opened his panel and in the exchange tab, he lowered all the prices of the items, highlighting the scarlet words “Limited-time Storewide 20% Off.”
As time passes and players grow, lowering the prices of Circus goods is inevitable.
But Chen Lun, well-versed in the ways of marketing, understood that such a detail could stimulate the consumer psychology of players, and he would only earn more.
Chen Lun clapped his hands, chuckling.
“All set, just waiting for an east wind, now just wait for the players to descend, unable to extract themselves from ‘Jack’s Wonderful House’…”
