I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 716 - 452

Chapter 716: 452

Chen Lun found it hard to imagine what kind of scene it would be—a scene that would “crash” a man—when such a cute girl released the Sequence Ability of the Butcher.

He followed the reward system he had set himself, granting the Pumpkin girl a piece of Sequence Eight Supernatural Knowledge, a fairly common Mysterious Object, and a support letter from a Circus officer.

As for the support letter, he even kindly sought her opinion:

“Which officer’s letter would you like?”

“Antonio.”

Pumpkin lifted her head and said without hesitation.

She seemed to have been prepared, revealing a radiant smile.

“Leader, I want a support letter from Antonio!”

It was unclear whether it was due to her likable cow appearance or because she knew that Antonio was a formidable fighter, she chose this officer, who had been parasitised by the “Super A Level Mysterious Object – Desecrated Holy Sword.”

“Hmm, no problem.”

Right away, Chen Lun used his fountain pen to write down the name “Antonio” on the envelope and stamped it with his own seal.

As he handed over the letter, he added with a smile:

“Antonio is still learning human language, he might not understand all the contents of the letter, but he will understand its meaning… Please make good use of it.”

“I understand, Leader.”

Pumpkin, having learned Empire etiquette from somewhere, bowed to Chen Lun and patted her left chest.

After distributing her rewards, Chen Lun finally turned his head to look at Polaris, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

“You didn’t disappoint me, Polaris.”

“Teacher.”

Polaris took a deep breath and hung his head.

Only his slightly clenched fist betrayed to everyone how excited he was at that moment.

Chen Lun, as usual, granted him Supernatural Knowledge and then asked him about his choice for the support letter. Polaris thought for a few seconds and slowly answered:

“I would like a support letter from Noah first… ahem, from Noah.”

He corrected himself mid-sentence, remembering two previous deductions in Affection for addressing him as ‘Mister,’ correcting himself out of conditioned reflex.

Chen Lun seemed to know about this incident too. He cast a meaningful glance at Polaris and casually reminded him:

“Noah usually likes sweets. You might want to prepare some fine candies for him. I think he’ll be happy when the time comes… That way, he’ll be more willing to help you when you ask.”

Noah’s Affection for Polaris had already dropped to indifference, and that would obviously affect the function of the support letter. Chen Lun’s hint instantly delighted Polaris.

Ever since Polaris last received Noah’s assistance, he had been savouring that invigorating sensation of combat. Alas, Dongyang and the others were “too unskilled” to coordinate tacitly with him… At the same time, he was annoyed at himself for offending Noah twice in a row, unsure of how to mend the Affection, and now he finally got his answer from the teacher.

“However, Noah is currently away on some business and will take some time to return… so this support letter can’t be used right now.”

Chen Lun handed the letter to Polaris and said slowly.

“I understand, Teacher.”

Polaris nodded and carefully tucked the letter into the inner pocket of his outer jacket.

Chen Lun then took out a small hand crossbow that was made entirely of wood, its surface covered with sharp tooth-like patterns and painted with blood-red pigments on the handle and above the body of the crossbow.

“This is one of my former weapons. It has accompanied me through many tough roads…”

Chen Lun gently stroked the hand crossbow, a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

“With it, I once hunted down a Bishop of the Red Apple Church.”

Polaris involuntarily thought of the first time he met the teacher, who was similarly playing with a blunderbuss and showing the same expression, saying similar things, but at the time the teacher was mostly joking.

But this time, Polaris knew the teacher wasn’t lying to him.

He turned to look at Su Keying, and the two of them exchanged a smile without a word.

It was indeed with this hand crossbow that the teacher had once battled mightily against the Bishop Newman in the courtyard of the Red Apple Church in Amber City, ultimately severing his head.

“Now I pass it on to you, Polaris.”

Chen Lun withdrew his gaze and smiled as he handed over the hand crossbow.

Polaris’s hands trembled slightly as he took it.

“Thank you, Teacher.”

Dongyang and the others watched the scene without blinking, or more accurately, they were fixated on the hand crossbow in Polaris’s hand.

The next second, a message from Doghead Gold appeared in the chat channel:

“—Old North, let’s see the stats, enlighten us a bit.”

“—Yeah, damn! That’s one of Jack’s former weapons; it has to be good, right?”

Dragon King chimed in.

Then Dongyang, Chenxi, Honey Pomelo, and even the new high-level players including Pumpkin eagerly joined the conversation, expressing curiosity about the hand crossbow and hoping Polaris would share a screenshot of its stats.

Polaris was not stingy and posted it right away.

In no time at all, the chat room exploded.

“—[C Level Mysterious Object – Tongue of Gluttony]… wow, this thing doesn’t need to replenish ammunition, and the crossbow arrow is subtracted from maximum Life Points?!”

Doghead Gold was quite shocked.

“— Hahaha… Doghead bro, you were already no match for Brother North, and now you’re totally restrained! (Eating popcorn emoji)”

Dragon King gloated.

“— Not bad at all, this hand crossbow completely makes up for your weak spot, Ah Bei.”

Dongyang instantly saw that this Mysterious Object was very suitable for Polaris.
