I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 483 - 341: Above the Forest of Nature

Chapter 483 -341: Above the Forest of Nature

The Circus returned to the winery in Peacock City.

A brief respite.

After a week of frequent hunting, everyone was very tired, especially after the intense battle in Pine Sand City. Even Antonio, the “remarkably strong” cow, was struggling.

On the way back, it repeatedly demanded food and even lacked the mood to hum its favorite song.

Seeing this, Chen Lun had no choice but to use Cloud Leap, dragging the entire carriage over long distances, consuming most of his Physical Strength to bring everyone back to Peacock City.

After eating a meal personally cooked by Floey, everyone contentedly went back to their rooms to rest.

Antonio finally regained its usual liveliness and sang and rolled around in the backyard garden. Chen Lun noticed that it got along well with the big white cat Biebu, even chasing the hedgehog Dingding around the garden with one cow and one cat in tow.

The next two days.

Chen Lun did not continue to lead the team out, planning to let everyone rest well for a few days.

At the same time, he probed Alec more than once.

But whether overt or covert, using various methods, even resorting to Divination in the Immortal Realm, the conclusion was always the same, that this mysterious bard was truly just an ordinary person, completely devoid of any Supernatural Power.

This made Chen Lun’s inner conjecture waver slightly.

But soon, he firmed up his intuition and judgment again, believing that Alec must be hiding a secret… After all, one who can receive guidance from Destiny in a dream is definitely not normal.

And those four bizarrely expired Black Knife Assassins also constantly made him feel that they were related to Alec.

Seizing the free time over these two days, Chen Lun organized the spoils of war, categorizing them, and contacted the Silver Dragon Trade Association to package and sell all unnecessary items.

Although the liaison of the Silver Dragon Trade Association offered a very high purchase price, Chen Lun did not take this easy advantage, letting them charge as much as they should… because he knew they had cut most of the profit on purpose to curry favor with him, considering his relationship with the guild leader, Rosa.

Chen Lun’s actions surprised them, with continuous praises for Mr. Jack’s noble character.

The deal went smoothly without any mishaps.

Chen Lun received the total payment, amounting to more than fourteen thousand Gold Pounds.

After depositing all the money into the panel, it reached a total of over eighty-seven thousand Gold Pounds.

‘The Tresor Empire’s Gold Pounds are indeed valuable, if there is a special channel, one could even buy Mid Sequence Supernatural Knowledge and Grade B Mysterious Objects…’ Chen Lun thought to himself contently as he looked at his own assets.

He remembered from his previous life that at the beginning of version 2.0, the Empire had introduced some special policies that allowed one to buy noble titles with money… although they were only honorary Baron and Viscount titles, it meant a leap in class, thus owning a noble status.

At that time, many major guilds were thrilled because once players had such a status, they could attend high-end events and get involved in more secret affairs.

However, Chen Lun himself did not care for such so-called noble status.

But one could never have too much money, after all, the daily expenses of the team and the production of various equipment and items cost money.

He took out seven thousand Gold Pounds and distributed the money to the team members according to their contributions.

Floey, Noah, Maggie, Antonio, and Connie each received a thousand Gold Pounds, while Golov, Barton, and Morey received six hundred Gold Pounds each. Even Alec was given two hundred Gold Pounds by Chen Lun.

But Antonio expressed that it did not need this kind of human currency, feeling that having food and drink and being able to play in Chen Lun’s “Wonderland Prairie” and the winery’s backyard was enough.

Chen Lun praised such a “good team member” highly and handed its share of the bounty to Floey, then told Antonio that if it needed anything, it could ask her, and the expenses could be deducted from this bounty.

Antonio nodded repeatedly in agreement with the suggestion and then forgot about it the next day, caught up in playing with one cat and one hedgehog, unable to extricate itself.

Chen Lun had no comment on this but was worried that one day, the cow would be abducted.

That night.

Chen Lun sat alone in the study, completing the collection of those three pieces of Sequence Eight Supernatural Knowledge.

It was one of the rewards sent by the Murder Club through the faceless servers before.

[You have mastered ten approaches of “Sequence Eight” Supernatural Knowledge, Blessing “Collector of Knowledge” has been upgraded!]

[Collector of Knowledge LV2 (Blessing)]

Blessing Description: A blessing given to you by an unknown existence.

Blessing Effect: Experience Points gained through supernatural knowledge will be more, and there is a higher probability of gaining Skill Points and Attribute Points from reading. Willpower +10.

‘This Blessing has been upgraded again.’

Chen Lun nodded, quite satisfied.

With an additional 5 points to Willpower, his Willpower had reached 56 points, giving him a greater advantage in the determinations of “Mental Sharing”… Meanwhile, the maximum limit of his Sanity Value affected by Willpower also increased by 5 points, reaching 75 points.

He looked at his other data; Experience Points accumulated to 650,000, and the reserved Points were 4 Skill Points, 38 Attribute Points, 3 Special Attribute Points, and 1 Blessing Point.

Chen Lun had not used these points for the moment.

His Skills were at Max Level, with no need for Skill Points, and his base Attributes had already surpassed the threshold of Sequence Six, with further improvements incurring penalties, so using Attribute Points would be an unnecessary waste.

As for Special Attribute Points, his current panel was sufficient for now, so he decided to hold onto them for unexpected needs. Among the four blessings, [Nature’s Favor] was already Max Level, and upgrading [Shining Nova], [Moonlight Refuge], and [Collector of Knowledge] with Blessing Points did not seem cost-effective to him, considering it not worthwhile here.

A moment later.

Chen Lun, after checking everything, summoned “Philip’s Dreamland Adventure” and opened the pages.

He planned to enter the Immortal Realm to clean the source of pollution in Kazt Town and make a trip back to the Forest of Nature, thoroughly exploring that area… He had been too weak before and had not been able to traverse many places, especially above the forest.

Initially, whenever he tried to ascend, breaking through the dense canopy that obscured the sky, he would receive a warning of danger from his Spiritual Intuition… Chen Lun was extremely curious about this, and he had a premonition that maybe the sky above the Forest of Nature held some secrets.

He wanted to glimpse the truth!

Boom!

Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.

A flash of white light appeared, and Chen Lun first chose the “Save Point” of Forest Number One, materializing inside a wooden room.

He didn’t stay long and pushed the door open to leave.

What met his eyes was still the familiar gray forest environment, surrounded by tall trees blocking the view, with the vault of heaven covered by dense leaves, not even allowing other colors to be seen.

At that moment, slowly drifting from behind a large tree to his left, black smoke appeared.

A man, his face obscured by the black smoke, clad in dirty farmer’s attire, emerged holding a lumberjack axe.

Seeing this familiar type of polluted creature, Chen Lun couldn’t help but smile.

Clang!

The woodcutter swung his axe down in a vertical chop, but Chen Lun casually swung his silver staff to parry the attack. The monstrous force of the blow almost made the creature stumble and fly off at an angle.

That axe shattered upon impact, exploding into metal fragments that flew in all directions.

Chen Lun twirled his silver staff and delivered a crushing blow straight to its forehead.

With a muffled thunk, the woodcutter’s head and even its upper body burst open on the spot.

It collapsed right there, thudding onto the ground as its shattered body parts continued to emit black smoke, seemingly attempting to reconstitute… Chen Lun flicked his finger, sending out a purple-red spark that ignited it.

In just three seconds, the woodcutter burned away to nothingness.

Afterward, four or five more woodcutters emerged from the front, back left, and right, axes in hand, encircling him.

Chen Lun stood with one hand on his silver staff, flinging several “Spade cards” with the other. With a series of thunderous explosions, those woodcutters were instantly blown to pieces and killed definitively.

One minute later.

All the woodcutters in Chen Lun’s vicinity were slain, but he shook his head in disappointment.

‘More than twenty woodcutters, and their combined experience points aren’t even 10,000. The penalty on the gains is too severe…’

Suddenly, he thought of those “Barren Giants,” and he now possessed the strength to slay them…

Thud!

With a flick of his left hand, Chen Lun easily severed a large tree at its waist.

Toppling trees is the best way to attract the giants.

As the tree fell with a rolling thunderous crash, an enormous hand descended from the sky, its palm covered in strange berries.

Chen Lun stood his ground, leaning on his silver staff, his face a picture of calm as he watched the massive hand reach for him.

Suddenly.

He raised a hand, transforming it into dozens of pale pythons that wrapped around the wrist of the giant hand and pulled downward—

Thud!!

The horrifying-looking Barren Giant was yanked down to its knees by his single hand, its entire body plummeting from above the forest. Another series of thuds echoed as about a dozen trees were crushed under the giant’s body. It rolled, struggled, and roared on the ground in an odd fashion.

But it could not escape the tangle of snakes.

Seeing this, Chen Lun recalled how he had once fled in disarray from the giant’s attack… and now, this colossal polluted creature couldn’t withstand even a casual strike from him.

“Die.”

He uttered the word softly.

The Pale Hand withdrew, transformed into a hammer, and smashed down!

Boom!!

The Barren Giant’s head was crushed flat by the “spherical snake cluster” on impact! Juice as dense as strawberry jam splattered everywhere, and the headless gigantic creature writhed for a dozen seconds before stiffening motionless.

[Slaying the polluted creature “Barren Giant” rewards you with 9,000 experience points!]

[Through slaughter, you have gained the “Barren Giant’s” contained supernatural knowledge!]

[Nature Faction Sequence Six—Berry Picker (1/10)!]

Chen Lun’s eyebrows raised.

‘Indeed peculiar, the reward for slaying such a giant includes supernatural knowledge… When I first arrived in the Immortal Realm, I acquired a piece by looking at the berries growing on its palm.’

He pondered, and a guess faintly formed in his mind.

“Let’s go up and have a look!”

After collecting the transcendent materials that had separated from the Barren Giant, Chen Lun performed Aerial Walk and rose into the air. Passing through the dense layers of tree branches and leaves, he felt his field of vision clear and the temperature become considerably cooler.

Looking up, his pupils involuntarily contracted sharply.

“What is… that?”

In the cloudless, dim sky overhead, there was no sun or moon, not even stars.

Only an enormous tree grew upside-down, its roots planted in the void of the firmament, with countless large berries adorning the crown, each containing the curled-up figure of a giant.

Moreover, monstrous birds, like dragons, circled freely.

Chen Lun had only cast a glance at the “Inverted Giant Tree” when alerts of his dropping Sanity Value began, accompanied by a continuous influx of knowledge flowing into his mind…

It was the supernatural knowledge of the Nature Faction!
