MTL - I Became the King of Villains In the Game-Chapter 423 Spiritual turmoil
Chapter 423 Chaos in the Spirit World
‘This is a sub-profession similar to [Recorder], but it is more advanced than that...’
Looking at the list, Chen Lun felt joy in his heart.
'I am bound to get this book. Once I have this new sub-job, I can turn the mid-sequence extraordinary knowledge in my mind into real objects and hand it over to other people. Whether it is sold to players or used by team members, it is very important. Convenient... But the premise is that you need enough merit. '
He also noticed that there was a line of notes at the top of the list, which stated that in addition to completing tasks and making meritorious service, the members of the jury could also hand in idle supernatural objects or tricks in exchange for meritorious service.
Chen Lun couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
I used to "kill monsters" in the fairyland to explode a lot of extraordinary materials. I also bought a large amount of materials from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce and provided them to Froy for forging monsters... From this point of view, those relatively weak monsters can not only be made into " In addition to selling "blind boxes" to players, there is now another "sales channel".
But soon, he frowned slightly.
Because the purchase price of the Imperial Tribunal is not high, even one of the lowest level D-level monsters can’t be exchanged for a D-level meritorious service, and at least three pieces are needed to exchange for the same level of meritorious service.
That is to say, in order to exchange [Inscriber] sub-professional knowledge, three B-level monsters are needed, which is a bit expensive for Chen Lun, and it can even be said to be quite uneconomical.
Merits of different levels cannot be synthesized from low-level to high-level, and can only be exchanged for multiple low-level merits. For example, one B-level meritorious service can be exchanged for three C-level meritorious service, but not the other way around.
In this way, Chen Lun's thoughts of making meritorious deeds were cut off.
‘And the D-level meritorious service can’t be exchanged for any good things. This way won’t work... It seems that we can only do the task honestly. '
Chen Lun was a little disappointed.
Immediately afterwards, he turned the list to the last page "Extraordinary Knowledge Area".
Including the three hidden paths, the extraordinary knowledge of ten factions is available here, and it can be seen from the side how deep the official background is.
Chen Lun found the Destiny faction, but only saw the extraordinary knowledge of Sequence Nine to Sequence Five. Not only that, but also the other nine paths. The middle and low sequence knowledge is very complete, but only the high sequence myth knowledge is missing.
"Mr. Jack Speight, I can help you find what you need."
The quartermaster was a gray-haired old man in uniform and a short-brimmed beret, looking very energetic. The other party was sitting inside the iron bars of the window, with a half-burned cigarette dangling from his mouth, and laughed aloud.
"Why is there no high-sequence mythological knowledge on the list?"
Chen Lun glanced at the old man and asked.
"Oh, high sequence knowledge..."
The quartermaster raised his brows and laughed twice. Then he took off the cigarette from his mouth, leaned over his head and said in a low voice:
"That is a necessary step to ascend to the holy throne. How could the empire release it so easily... Adding up all the things on the list, I am afraid that it is not as precious as that kind of knowledge."
"So, it's not that there are no inside the jury, but exchange is not allowed?"
Chen Lun frowned.
"Of course not, sir, it's just that the way of exchange is quite special."
The quartermaster shrugged.
"What special way?"
"It's very simple, the royal family has the final say."
The old man looked at Chen Lun, took the last puff of the cigarette, and slowly exhaled the smoke.
"The past is not without precedent... When Judge Plamond was an ordinary member of the jury, he made great contributions. The Sun King personally bestowed high-sequence knowledge, and that lord was able to be promoted to a saint and become a member of the Nine Great Trials. One of the presiding judges."
Chen Lun understood what the other party said.
If you want to obtain high-level knowledge from within the imperial jury, break through the extraordinary limit in one fell swoop, ascend to the holy throne and become a big man, you can only make outstanding contributions to the empire and win the favor of the royal family.
General channels are simply impossible to achieve.
‘It doesn’t look so easy…’
Chen Lun secretly sighed.
The great achievement of being favored by the royal family is not so easy to do, even if the ability is sufficient, there must be such an opportunity.
"It won't be long before I can fully upgrade the level of [Acrobat], but if I want to advance to the fourth sequence of fate, I must have the corresponding knowledge of mythology... Although this task of investigating the spirit world is important, the A-level meritorious service rewarded is obviously Not enough to get this knowledge. '
Chen Lun was in a bad mood.
And he thought of one thing, that is, Sun King Andre doesn't like the supernatural beings of the three paths of nature, magic and destiny. Even if he makes great achievements, he may not be able to get what he wants.
'I can only watch it while walking...I first work in the Imperial Jury, and then try to contact Philip. As a high-ranking person of destiny, he must have relevant knowledge! '
Chen Lun let out a long breath.
He thanked the quartermaster, got up and left the place.
Afterwards, Chen Lun called the members of the "investigation group" team in the rest area on the third floor, and had a brief meeting with them.
After explaining some precautions, Chen Lun distributed the received materials.
"These 'True Sight Potion' are three per person. If there is not enough, ask me again. As for the 'Spirit World Anchor', Lahn carries one as insurance, and I will keep the rest for use."
The team members received the medicine and nodded in agreement.
Among them, Lahn, Wells, Siebel, and Federica were more cooperative, while the three-person group of Mattison was a little perfunctory, but Chen Lun didn't care much about their attitudes, and then said lightly:
"Meet here at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and then officially launch the investigation... That's it, the meeting is over."

The next morning.
Chen Lun came to the jury building again.
He climbed to the second floor, where there is a huge dining room that can provide free food and drinks to members of the jury.
The team members of the investigation team were eating here, and Chen Lun strode over.
"Captain, you came very early today. If you want something to eat, I'll get it for you."
The young lad raised his hand and said enthusiastically.
There are another man and two women at his table, namely Wells, Xibei and Federica. The team members greeted Chen Lun one after another.
As for the Mattison trio, they haven't arrived yet.
"Good morning, Captain Jack."
"Good morning."
Chen Lun nodded in response.
He smiled at Rahn as he sat down.
"I already had breakfast before going out, so don't bother."
As Chen Lun was speaking, he suddenly felt a line of sight cast from the adjacent table. He followed his intuition and saw a man with long brown hair looking at him quietly.
‘Shadowwalker Hamilton…’
Chen Lun secretly thought.
The other party was wearing a casual windbreaker, with a pair of leather gloves and a cowboy hat on hand, and was tasting a plate of steak and noodles with a knife and fork. He was at the same table as members of the "Second Investigation Team", a total of nine people.
"Jack, are you interested in playing a game with me?"
Hamilton chewed his food and smiled slightly.
"Ok?"
Chen Lun was a little puzzled.
and his team members also looked at Hamilton and the others, not knowing what this guy meant.
"We are all the same, as a new member of the Imperial Jury, but served as the captain during the first important mission... I am very curious about you, Jack, whether it is the rumors about you in the past, or the current you."
Hamilton put down the knife and fork, and pointed to Chen Lun and himself.
"Since we are going to the spirit world to investigate, why don't we see which group achieves results first?"
He pulls out a Reichsbank voucher.
"This is a thousand gold pounds. As a bet for the game, how about it? No matter who wins, it can be distributed to the team members in the group as an additional celebration reward."
When the players from both sides heard this, they immediately became interested.
These gold pounds are not too much for them, it can only be said to be a good prize, but the competition between the two sides is quite interesting and can stimulate the inner desire to win.
Unexpectedly, Chen Lun shook his head slightly.
"Excuse me, I'm not interested in gambling."
The members of the second team around Hamilton booed and laughed, thinking that this Mr. Jack had a false name and dared not even take up such a challenge.
"Jack, why don't you accept Hamilton's challenge? Could it be that you are afraid?"
At this moment, a man's voice came.
Everyone looked and saw Matheson, Rocky, and Melis walking slowly, and then sat down at a table in a group.
"That's a thousand gold pounds. If we win, we will pay a lot of pocket money, won't we? Or is it that the captain can't afford this bet? It doesn't matter, I can help you."
Mathison said aloud with a smirk on his face.
Chen Lun glanced at him and said calmly:
"If you are interested, you can make a bet with Captain Hamilton yourself, I will not accompany you..."
Then he looked at the players around him:
"Are you full? We're ready to go."
Matheson chuckled and stopped talking, but the disdain in his eyes was even worse.
As for Hamilton at the next table, he shook his head in disappointment, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and called the team members to get up and leave, ready to enter the spirit world and start taking action.
"We're full, Captain."
Lahn observed the captain's expression and said wittily.
Chen Lun nodded and stood up, walking towards the exit of the restaurant.
"Gather on the first floor."
Lahn and other team members got up one after another and left, but the three of Mattison, who were walking at the end, looked at each other and said cowardly with a sneer.

Spirit world.
The azure blue vision blurred the edges, and only the outline and layout of the hall on the first floor could be seen faintly, and eight figures suddenly appeared here.
Chen Lun glanced at the team members, took out a palm-sized metal mini anchor, and threw it on the ground.
Boom!
The anchor seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, and it made a muffled sound after hitting the ground.
"The first 'spirit world anchor' is thrown here, as our initial point."
Chen Lun said to the players.
Lahn and the others nodded silently, but Mattison sarcastically said:
"Captain Jack, we only have three 'anchors', so there's no need to waste one here... If there is no such thing in the follow-up advance, the progress will be seriously delayed."
"I am the captain."
Chen Lun said lightly.
"I have the final say here."
"You're right, Jack, I can't argue with that... I hope it's not like I said."
Mathison shrugged.
Chen Lun ignored him, but turned his head and looked around.
In his sight, there are sporadic cracks hidden in the surrounding environment, which are the passages leading to the second layer of the spiritual world...Chen Lun's current insight is as high as 71 points, which cannot be hidden from his eyes at all.
"The shallow layer of the spiritual world is not worth exploring. Let's go directly to the next layer."
Chen Lun said to the players.
"Yes, Captain."
Lahn and others responded.
Everyone could see the rift in the spirit world, so they found a slightly larger opening and walked towards it. The rift seemed to feel the approach of matter, and it opened suddenly, engulfing them instantly.
This is the first time Chen Lun has entered the second level of the spirit world.
His perception was a little fresh, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and then became clear again, a strange attraction emerged from all directions, as if it was constantly pulling his body.
The wind flowing in the air disappeared, and there was silence here.
The field of vision presented is somewhat different from the shallow layer of the spiritual world. The color here has changed from azure blue to dark blue, and the outlines in this world have also faded away, becoming a more distorted picture.
‘It’s getting farther away from this world…’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
"Captain, shall we start the investigation from here?"
Rahn asked him.
Chen Lun shook his head without thinking.
"It doesn't make sense. The investigation team of the first phase has already explored here. Let's go deeper, enter the third layer, and then directly reach the dark world from the depths."
"Yes, Captain."
Rahn nodded.
All the team members did not object, and each took out the "True Sight Potion" they were carrying and drank it.
They were able to break through the cracks on the second floor, but they were unable to do so on the third floor, so they could only rely on the help of external forces. But everyone soon discovered that the captain Jack did not take the medicine.
"team leader?"
Rahn was puzzled.
Chen Lun waved his hand and said:
"I do not need."
Immediately, he went straight to the right behind him.
Everyone could see clearly, there was a line-shaped dark blue crack stagnating in the midair there.
"?!"
The team members were very surprised.
"The captain can see the cracks on the third floor without taking medicine?!"
Lahn and the others secretly increased their admiration for the captain, but the three of them in Mattison snorted disapprovingly.
The crack engulfed everyone again.
The field of vision became dim.
The third layer of the spiritual world is quite dim, and the outline of the world has completely disappeared here, leaving only a blur and distortion. Everyone found a faint psychedelic mist floating around their bodies, and there was no wind.
Chen Lun tried to raise his hand to touch the mist, but found that as soon as his fingers approached, the mist seemed to feel something, and he avoided it by himself, as if it had life.
"Let's go."
Chen Lun shook his head and said to the team members.
He took the lead, and while walking in the dim environment, he took out his poker for divination, and confirmed the direction leading to the dark world.
Investigation A group of teams proceeded in the third layer of the spirit world.
Time quickly passed two hours.
The team members knew the importance of this operation, so they didn't dare to chat casually, so that the process was quite boring.
"Captain, what's that in front?"
Rahn suddenly pointed to the dark place ahead, and said.
His tone was so shocking that everyone stopped quickly.
Chen Lun looked forward, frowning slightly.
I saw a huge vortex with a diameter of hundreds of meters appeared in the distance, and the distorted darkness was blurred, giving people a feeling of extreme depression.
"That's the turbulence in the spirit world..."
Chen Lun made a judgment and said in a deep voice.
"The spirit world is turbulent?!"
The team members were quite surprised.
As Prince Dazlet said, there were many turbulences in the spiritual world in the empire, and the polluting creatures in the spiritual world were thrown into the present world, causing serious damage.
At the same time, everyone felt the ground under their feet start to tremble, and beast-like roars came from all directions.
"It's a polluting organism..."
Chen Lun's eyes were deep, as if he could see what it was, he said to the team members in a deep voice:
"Everyone cheer up and prepare to defend against the enemy!"
