I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 238 - 177: The Unique Beast Tamer (Three in One)_4
He lifted his hand and snapped his fingers.
Flame burst forth from his hand and, to Polaris’s astonished gaze, began to form intricate characters in mid-air, arranging themselves into a contract.
Immediately afterward, Chen Lun tossed a murky mysterious substance into the fiery text.
"Sign it, and you’ll officially become my spokesperson, or rather, my student in name... I shall guide you and teach you without asking for anything in return,"
Chen Lun declared solemnly.
Polaris stared blankly at the bizarre, twisting characters floating before him.
He hadn’t expected there to be a twist in the situation, and his mood suddenly improved.
At the same time, he also received a notification.
If he signed this "Shadow Contract," he would establish a deep bond with Jack Spett and be tied to the Circus’s power.
If he were to betray, he would trigger the contract’s punishment—
[Oathbreaker (Permanent Curse)]
Curse description: Originates from the Curse cast by the angel Conrad from the Conspiracy Faction, all attributes permanently reduced by 90%, Life Points and Physical Strength limits not to exceed 100 Points.
Polaris looked at the contract and fell silent.
He could see a bright future, but the cost was sacrificing a part of his freedom.
However, Polaris knew very well that this was different from joining a player guild. That involved signing a contract in reality, while this was merely about signing a contract within the game.
The cost of betrayal was steep, essentially condemning his account to be useless.
Although he could start a new save file, all his hard-earned progress would be lost. He couldn’t guarantee that he would get another opportunity for such a fortuitous encounter.
Chen Lun drank his tea quietly, waiting for Polaris’s response.
He was well aware of the players’ unpredictability and knew exactly how to manipulate them to just the right degree.

Polaris had gained so much from him, which were all sunk costs. Unless he was confident he could develop better in a new save, he wouldn’t dare to make a rash move.
"Mr. Jack..."
Polaris took a deep breath.
"I am willing to be your spokesperson!"
He reached out his hand below the flame and inscribed his own name out of thin air.
Boom!
The flame suddenly exploded, like fireworks blooming, and dissipated in mid-air.
At the same time, a distant clinking of glasses was heard—
Clang!
"I witness this."
A deep voice murmured.
Chen Lun reclined on the couch, revealing a smile.
"I am delighted that you made the right choice, Mr. Polaris... From this day forward, you are my spokesperson, Jack Spett!"
[You have established a deep bond with Jack Spett!]
[Jack’s affection for you has increased! It’s now ’Close’!]
[You will enjoy a twenty percent discount on Circus merchandise!]
[...]
A series of notifications left Polaris in high spirits.
Once he made up his mind, all this ceased to be a psychological burden; instead, it turned into motivation and joy.
Finally, Polaris learned the "Advanced Skill" of the Beast Tamer for free—
[Animal Mimicry]!
Chen Lun observed Polaris’s attributes in silence, his eyes suddenly sharpening.
Because he discovered...
Polaris’s [Animal Mimicry] was different from his own!
He could only store memories of three animal attributes!
While his own, there were ten!
In that moment, Chen Lun’s purpose of using Polaris to verify the Path of Destiny was finally achieved.
’Indeed! I am different from the others! It’s not that Destiny Faction is exceeding limits...’
Chen Lun was inwardly shocked.
’But that I, as an individual, exceed the limits?!’
He then thought of the "Supernatural Asymmetry Law" and had an epiphany.
’...Even if it’s the same path and the same sequence, everyone has their subtle differences. But the difference between me and others seems too great...’
Chen Lun was lost in thought. Find exclusive stories on novelbuddy

After becoming the spokesperson, Polaris received his first task from his "Mentor" Jack on the same day—
To go to the Verdant Scream Zoo, use [Animal Mimicry] to record the attributes of three animals and fill all the memory slots.
Thus constructing his own battle system.
Polaris had sought advice from Mr. Jack in advance and had a good plan for the road ahead. But this time, he had no intentions of imitating Jack, as he had his own understanding and ideas.
As a lone wolf, his priority was the traits that could improve his speed.
But in the end, he didn’t choose the cheetah, recognized as the fastest runner on land, but rather the prey of the cheetah—the gazelle.
What he needed was not only explosive speed in a straight line but also agility and nimbleness during combat. Gazelles are known worldwide for their difficult and rapid turns, which would allow him to have not just speed, but also a great deal of flexibility.
This was quite good.
For the second and third traits, Polaris considered both attack and defense.
Taking into account these two aspects, he thought of many animals, including those that met both criteria, like the alligator snapping turtle, crabs, and elephants.
Ultimately, Polaris chose the crocodile.
By chance, the Verdant Scream Zoo housed a bay crocodile, also known as the sea crocodile, recognized as the most ferocious of crocodiles, with a bite considered the strongest.
After multiple attempts, Polaris finally recorded his three attributes completely—
[Antelope Leap], [Crocodile Bite], and [Crocodile Skin].
He had exhausted all his Physical Strength to complete this task.
Sitting on the wooden bench at the entrance of the zoo, he panted heavily.
"To approach the opponent at a blistering speed, strike fatally... and in the face of danger, possess great agility and defensive power,"
Polaris muttered to himself, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Just how strong am I now, we’ll know when I spar with Dongyang and the others... I hope they don’t get too shocked!"
