Chapter 456: Chapter 318 A-level Task: Swordsman!
Antonio…
This was a wild BOSS that had appeared in the mid-2.0 version in a previous life, but Chen Lun’s impression of it was not extensive, as it had only briefly emerged before disappearing.
Perhaps it should be said that all players were relatively unfamiliar with it.
Chen Lun only remembered that Antonio had appeared for just a week in his previous life, and its stage was not the Tresor Empire, but rather in the Beelzebub Kingdom on the extreme west of the Sun Continent… There, it had single-handedly slaughtered many members of the Rose Royal Family, causing significant local turmoil, but it was ultimately outnumbered and tragically suppressed and persecuted.
‘There aren’t many posts about it, and I haven’t paid much attention… But judging by the feeling, Antonio’s strength isn’t weak, as it was able to slaughter members of the royal family in the Beelzebub Kingdom and held strong for a week; at the very least, it was on the level of a Saint.’
Chen Lun thought.
...
He again pondered the idea of bringing it under his command.
In the current team, Floey and Noah had clearly appeared as BOSSes in his previous life, but Chen Lun had intervened to redeem them, changing their fateful trajectory and preventing the tragedy, thus omitting the process of “corruption”…
As the saying goes, corruption makes one tenfold stronger, while redemption weakens by a third.
The current Floey and Noah were indeed not as strong as they had been in the past, but the talents innate to them wouldn’t just disappear. Growing up was only a matter of time, and the elite template was the best proof.
‘But now, Antonio directly possesses a boss template, with an added 50 levels, something only possessed at the debut of all BOSSes…’
Chen Lun walked up to the Glass House, observing Antonio closely.
It was still enthusiastically working the cow beneath it, apparently unaware that a young human was quietly watching from outside the glass.
Antonio emitted pleased grunts from its mouth, and Chen Lun, through Beast Speech, roughly understood it was singing.
Just not very tunefully.
Soon, Antonio finished its sowing, and the dairy cow wobbled away from the Glass House, while another cow willingly walked in.

Antonio grunted twice, continuing its work.
This cycle repeated itself many times. Eventually, it seemed somewhat fatigued, declined the next dairy cow’s kind invitation, and went by itself to a nearby trough, starting to chew on the fresh fodder inside.
Chen Lun chuckled lightly and used Instantaneous Movement to reach the inside of the Glass House, appearing next to Antonio. But the cow seemed uninterested in him, giving him a glance with its dark eyes before continuing to munch vigorously.
“Hello, Antonio… Nice to meet you, you can call me Mr. Jack,”
Chen Lun doffed his hat, politely addressing it.
But the cow gave no response.
It acted like any ordinary dairy cow, rightfully so toward a human.
Seeing that Antonio was unwilling to entertain him, Chen Lun was not annoyed; he leaned on his Silver Staff and walked around the Glass House twice, surveying the wild BOSS’s living environment.
The Glass House had an area of only tens of square meters, besides a feed trough, there was just the center area laid with a cheap carpet, used for breeding… From a human perspective, Antonio’s life was probably more dismal than imprisonment, after all, besides eating and resting, its daily routine was breeding, a breeding bull constantly watched and observed.
Chen Lun tried again to engage Antonio in conversation, but the other party still refused to look directly at him, as the grass in the trough seemed more attractive than him.
‘Friend of Animals plus the ultimate Beauty, over 40 Charm Points can’t increase the Affection even a tiny bit?’
Chen Lun was somewhat surprised.
He thought for a moment, then directly walked over to the dairy cow waiting nearby, starting to communicate with it using Beast Speech… This time, Antonio finally responded.
It abruptly turned its head, dark eyes intently staring at Chen Lun.
“Hmm… Oh, I see,”
Chen Lun nodded, listening to the information conveyed by the dairy cow.
He slowly turned to look at Antonio, meeting its eyes. Seeing Antonio’s hostile gaze, Chen Lun smiled and said:
“It says that you are quite small, hmm, and also very quick to finish, other cows think the same…”
Antonio still didn’t respond.
It just silently stared at Chen Lun, the dark pupils showing no hint of its thoughts.
Chen Lun raised an eyebrow and walked straight up to it.
“I can feel the almost critical destructive desire within you, Antonio.”
He hesitated slightly, then asked deliberately:
“Do you really like it here?”
“Enough! Human!”
Antonio’s cow face turned extremely fierce and terrifying, its dark eyes filled with murderous intent.
The dairy cow beside them let out a scared moo and rushed out.
“I’ve endured you for a long time! From the beginning! Is a cow’s mating really that interesting to watch? Is there something wrong with your brain?!”
Antonio’s body began to emit a visibly crimson murderous aura, twisting the air inside the Glass House.
“Get out! Stay away from me! Otherwise, I don’t mind killing you, eating some meat!”
“Be sensible, Antonio, I just want to talk with you simply,”
Chen Lun shrugged, his tone consolatory.
“Sensible? How can you ask me to be sensible!”
Antonio roared.
“You damned humans! You’ve imprisoned me here, forcing me to mate every day, apart from draining my blood and cutting my flesh! Even my children have all been dragged away and slaughtered for your food! I wish I could kill all those people in red clothes… then eat them and turn them into cow dung!”
Chen Lun stroked his chin, tentatively saying:
“But I see you don’t seem to reject this kind of life, you actually seem to enjoy it…”
“Bullshit!”
Antonio’s body trembled.
“I… I’m just making the best of a bad situation, I have no other choice! What do you know?!”
Blood tears flowed from its pitch-black eyes.
“I have not succumbed to the bad guy inside me, yet I still endure persecution and abuse from humans… I don’t want to stay in this hellish place anymore, working every day like a dumb ox! I want to run on the prairies, as in my lost youth!”
Chen Lun, so close to Antonio, could clearly perceive the powerful aura of a supernatural creature from the other, who seemed to have mutated from an ordinary dairy cow into a supernatural being.
As for the specific reasons, they were still unknown.
But it probably had to do with the “bad guy inside” that Antonio mentioned…
“With your strength, escaping shouldn’t be a problem, should it?”
Chen Lun asked.
Antonio suddenly deflated.
Its aura of killing intent quietly vanished, and it reverted to looking like a normal dairy cow, then turned its head back into the feeding trough, seemingly avoiding something.
“I can’t control this power; it comes from the bad guy inside me, and unless I’m willing to submit to it, I can’t use even a little bit… But once I submit, I’ll become its puppet, losing my self… Antonio is a proud dairy cow, unwilling to become a tool for the bad guy.”
Antonio grumbled tediously.
Chen Lun, curious again, asked:
“What exactly is this ‘bad guy’ you’re talking about?”
“Hmph! It’s just…”
Antonio lifted its head, seemingly about to reveal something.
At that moment, a middle-aged farmer suddenly appeared outside the Glass House, staring shockingly at the man and cow chatting inside, then screamed, quickly fleeing the scene.
He was also loudly calling for security.
“Hey! You’ve been spotted! Soon you’re going to be killed by your own kind!”
Antonio said with schadenfreude.
Chen Lun ignored it, just watching the fleeing farmer, his eyes slightly narrowing.
That was the person he had been looking for, Dolim.
The third opportunity was greatly related to this farmer!
But Chen Lun made no move, still standing there with his silver staff.
Because he received a prompt from the panel—
[Triggered A-level serial mission: Swordsman!]
Mission description: Originally just a normal dairy cow, Antonio encountered a contamination from the sky one day, and subsequently gained the influence of supernatural strength, but also became a target of research by the Terminal Cocoon… The simple joy of the past was gone, only endless pain and torture remained.
It longed for freedom, yearning for a carefree life.
Mission target: First stage— help Antonio successfully escape the confinement of the Terminal Cocoon and regain freedom.
Mission reward: 50,000 Experience Points, 50 Gold Pounds, and Antonio’s affection.
“I can help you regain your freedom, Antonio.”
Chen Lun said smilingly to the cow.
A flicker of hope flashed in Antonio’s eyes.
But it still scoffed:
“Don’t talk big, human! Take care of yourself first, although I can tell you’re no ordinary person, those guys in red are not simple either, they will slaughter you.”
Chen Lun smiled, saying nothing.
He stood leisurely, not bothering to chase.
Soon, Dolim, leading a dozen armed security guards, rushed over and surrounded the Glass House. In addition, there were two members of the Terminal Cocoon in red vests and four red-robed monks of the Red Apple Church.
“Persons inside, immediately lay down your weapons and come out slowly… or we will shoot you on the spot!”
The lead security guard rebuked.
Chen Lun, with a smile on his face, watched this group of people.
He noticed that the four monks from the Red Apple Church seemed to recognize him, their expression changing slightly, whispering something. The two members of the Terminal Cocoon also started to show nervous expressions.
Chen Lun, uninterested in talking nonsense with these fish, directly used Instantaneous Movement, appearing outside the Glass House, right before them.
The group was taken aback!
Boom boom boom…!!
Without any command being given, the security guards, upon witnessing this eerie scene, subconsciously pulled their triggers. The Red Apple Church monks couldn’t stop them in time, and bullets were already densely fired toward Chen Lun.
“Dammit! You fools! Don’t drag us down with you!!!”
One of the red-robed monks roared.
“That’s Jack Spett! We withdraw!!”
