I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 470 - 331 Reputation and Awards

Chapter 470: Chapter 331 Reputation and Awards

The battle ended swiftly.

The Red-robed Bishop died under the encirclement and onslaught of the Circus members.

The whole process took less than ten minutes from start to finish, and throughout it all, Chen Lun did not make a move.

After this demonstration, he had gained a more direct understanding of his companions’ strength and was very satisfied.

‘It seems that even without my presence, they might be able to sweep most of Rock State’s Red Calamity Area with their own power,’

Chen Lun thought.

Then he slowly walked forward and issued a command:

“Golov, the three of you tally the spoils of war and have the Black Crystal Artificer seal off the surroundings.”

“Yes, Leader.”

Golov, Barton, and Morey bowed in response and then turned to get busy.

“Floey, take Noah, Maggie, and Anton for a trip to the Red Apple Church, clean up the remaining enemies, and by the way, burn down the church.”

Chen Lun then turned his head towards Floey.

The blind girl in a black dress let out a slight smile, clasped her hands together, and placed them at her abdomen, bowing gracefully.

“I will heed your will, Mr. Jack,”

she said in her ethereal voice.

Floey followed Chen Lun’s orders, took two people and a steer, and left the spot.

After a short while.

Deep within the city’s buildings, a raging fire broke out, thick smoke billowing into the sky as if a disaster had descended.

Sitting inside the carriage, Chen Lun looked through the window at the dark smoke in the sky with a faint smile on his face. He knew that the Red Calamity of this city had been thoroughly eradicated.

At the same time, pop-up notifications appeared on his panel.

There were updates on the contribution points for the advancement of the main quest, accumulations of merit for the Murder Club, and notifications about obtaining rewards like regional popularity and experience points.

Chen Lun glanced at them casually and then closed them.

Turning his head to look at Alec, who was sound asleep on the leather chair, he chuckled lightly and shook his head.

It wasn’t much longer.

Golov and the other two, as well as Floey’s group, successively completed the tasks assigned by Chen Lun and returned to the carriage.

Both parties reaped a sizable harvest, obtaining numerous mysterious objects, mysterious substances, and supernatural materials… Chen Lun’s Blood Poem Ring was already stocked up like a small mountain with the spoils of war, all acquired through “Qiaoke,” his high-intensity hunting of the Red Apple Church.

So, it seemed that today’s gains were nothing special.

“Everyone worked hard; these spoils of war are all thanks to your efforts. We’ll divide them up when we rest back at the winery… If you don’t need them, I will also offer them to the Silver Dragon Trade Association and exchange them for gold pounds before transferring them to you,”

Chen Lun removed his hat and said with a smile to everyone.

“This hunt is completed. Let’s move on to the next location.”

As the giant carriage slowly left the quarantine zone, it attracted the attention of all the guards.

The Shelter Leader Audimang led many Investigators waiting there, and upon seeing the giant carriage emerge, he hurried forward to inquire about the outcome.

Unexpectedly, the carriage only stopped briefly; as the window opened, the blind girl with pale golden hair revealed her stunning profile and said calmly:

“The Red Apple Church here no longer exists, please have the Shelter wrap things up quickly.”

“?!”

Audimang and the Investigators around him all changed their expressions, their pupils trembling slightly.

Was the Red Apple Church eradicated just like that?!

How long had it been? Twenty minutes or half an hour?

Even if several squads of Executioners had acted together, they couldn’t have been this fast!

“Sister, thank you very much for your assistance; please send my regards to Mr. Jack,”

he clenched his fist tightly, suppressed the joy in his heart, bowed to the carriage, and said to Floey in a deep voice.

Audimang didn’t raise any doubts; there was no need for the other party to tell such a lie, so since they said the Red Apple Church no longer existed, it was very likely true!

He sensed many other strong presences inside the carriage, apart from the blind girl in a black dress; one of them was unfathomably deep and more mysterious and terrifying than any squad leader of the Executioners Audimang had ever seen… that must be Mr. Jack Spett.

At this moment, Audimang firmly believed that there would definitely be a place for this gentleman in the future Imperial Judgement Group!

It wasn’t a bad idea to forge a good relationship in advance.

“Hmm, I will convey the message,”

Floey nodded slightly.

The window then closed, and the carriage continued to move, passing by Audimang and his group, gradually distancing itself.

The sounds of the wheels echoed…

Audimang and his subordinates from the Shelter watched the carriage depart before a fierce discussion erupted in the now somewhat silent environment. The investigators and guards huddled together, their expressions a mix of excitement and shock, finding the eradication of the Red Apple Church unbelievable.

At the same time, they also developed a profound reverence for the person inside the carriage.

The days of fear and unease were finally behind them, no longer would they have to mourn the daily screams and endure the torment of humanity… All thanks were due to the big shot inside the carriage, for it was they who had saved the city!

Audimang didn’t try to silence his subordinates’ clamor; instead, he burst into hearty laughter.

“Over two months have passed, and this city can finally return to its former peace…”

He turned his head to glance at several figures disappearing into the shadows in the near distance, then snorted coldly.

“The History and Ritual Association and the spies from the Hailing Group? Hypocritical Righteous God Church! Occupying high positions without willing to make any effort, may you eventually suffer divine punishment!”

Time quietly passed by.

Within a blink of an eye, a week had passed.

In these seven days, Jack Circus traveled among the cities in the Red Calamity Areas of Rock State, eradicating one branch of the Red Apple Church after another. As of now, a total of nine cities and twenty-four towns had been purged clean.

Countless civilians and players witnessed the circus dismantle the Red Apple Church’s supernatural combat powers in each local area with overwhelming force, pushing the official Shelters to gradually take control of the occupied areas, eliminating the rampaging Fallen Believers one by one, restoring order and vitality.

Their influence continued to grow, and the reputation of Jack Spett and his supernatural force, the “Circus,” gradually spread in the Mystic Realm. Chen Lun’s panel showed that his regional adoration had reached 56 points, only four points shy of earning the second epic adoration point.

During this week of hunting, Chen Lun rarely took action unless he encountered enemies that Floey and the others could not contend with or ones that didn’t go down after a protracted fight… Whenever he personally entered the fray, the enemies of the Red Apple Church met a miserable end.

So far, no enemy had appeared that required him to reveal his “Pale Stance.”

With just tricks, swordsmanship, and Magic Flying Cards, those so-called Bishops were doomed to meet their death within three moves… It wasn’t just the enemies; even the members of the circus regarded their Leader’s strength with awe, as they simply couldn’t see the limit of Mr. Jack’s abilities!

At that moment.

The massive carriage, emblazoned with the black “J” insignia of Jack Circus, was slowly approaching a new Red Calamity Area city called Pine Sand City, one of the main cities among the ten cities of Rock State.

The Empire’s administrative division, excluding the three affiliated Kingdoms, encompassed six states and ten cities, each city’s jurisdiction containing dozens of cities and countless towns and villages… Therefore, by this estimate, there are hundreds of cities within the range of each State City.

‘The hunt by the circus during this period, along with what was accumulated previously through the Qiaoke alter ego… should have cleared more than twenty Red Calamity-afflicted cities, but for the entirety of Rock State, that’s less than one-tenth,’ Chen Lun reflected somberly.

The Empire’s territory was too vast.

Even the Red Apple Church, which claimed to have destabilized the entire territory, had only actually fallen and occupied about one-fifth of the cities and areas.

“As one of the main cities among the ten cities of Rock State, Pine Sand City’s Red Calamity will be much greater, and its supernatural combat power is not comparable to that of an ordinary city… We need to be careful this time,” Chen Lun said with a smile, putting away the letter in his hand and looking up at the people in the carriage.

This letter, sent to him by Amos, the Leader from Peacock City, expressed that the Shelter was always watching the circus’s performance in Rock State during this time, and he increasingly respected and admired Mr. Jack, even writing several laudatory reports to the higher-ups.

Chen Lun just smiled wryly in response, not taking it too seriously.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Jack, we will remain cautious,” Noah replied with a smile.

Everyone had clearly improved their strength and teamwork through the high-intensity battles of this period, and their dispositions had grown steadier and more substantial.

Chen Lun nodded without saying much else.

At that moment.

The space inside the carriage wavered, and a deep blue crack abruptly opened, from which a tall, lean servant without a face appeared. Still carrying a tray with a white towel draped over it.

The circus members immediately stood up, looking unfriendly as they thought it was an enemy.

Fortunately, Chen Lun spoke up in time to stop them, preventing a misunderstanding.

“Mr. Qiaoke, your subordinates are really quite enthusiastic,” the servant said, wiping away nonexistent sweat, relieved.

“Sorry for startling you,” Chen Lun replied with a polite smile.

“Have you come to see me again for news from the club?” he asked.

“Yes, Mr. Qiaoke,” the faceless servant confirmed.

Then it added with a wistful tone:

“Since the Round Table Knights issued important directives to launch a comprehensive hunt against the Red Apple Church, there has been a severe loss of club members, most of whom were unwilling to get involved… and ultimately chose to leave.”

The servant shook its head slightly, somewhat disdainfully.

“But how can these people understand the intentions of the Knight Commander and the great Round Table Knights… This is not only an opportunity for the club to rise, but it’s also a grand offering we make to His Majesty the King of Slaughter!”

Its tone became reverent, even ingratiatingly so.

“Mr. Qiaoke, you chose not to leave the club but steadfastly supported the action. The Knight Commander and Round Table Knights hold you in high regard… Moreover, given the achievements you’ve earned hunting the Red Apple Church thus far, being the first among all Golden Cup members, the Round Table Knights have decided to award you!”

The faceless servant presented a black iron box from the tray.

“Contained here are ten bottles of exquisite Supernatural Wine, ten thousand Gold Pounds, two portions of Mid Sequence Mysterious Substance from various paths, and the Knowledge of Sequence Eight for the ‘Sun,’ ‘Earth,’ and ‘Magic’ paths that you previously mentioned!”
